by fnovelpia“Then… … .”
“Wait, wait, wait!!”
The moment Elin closed her eyes and tried to concentrate.
Anne intervened.
“Why are you like that?”
“Why are you saying that? Are you in your right mind?”
Luke, who is more sane than anyone else.
He nodded.
“Are you saying that because you want to be in the newspaper again?”
“It’s not exactly like that, but I can’t just sit still when something like this happens.”
“I know what the Duke is going to do.”
aha.
So, is Anne afraid of pressure now?
“Don’t worry.”
There’s nothing you can do when a duke gets angry.
But he is a human who can split a meteor with a single sword.
You can’t tear the duke’s family apart by shaking the mansion, right?
What about the aftermath?
It’s okay.
It’s in the newspaper again.
Once you become the next head of the household, you won’t be able to touch it anymore.
If you try to use your hands at that time, you’ll end up getting caught in a storm.
“Is it okay to pour mana into something like this?”
Although she doesn’t look like it, Anne is definitely a wizard.
I know very well how scary the Mana Tribe is.
It’s not that I don’t understand your concern.
“You will understand when you see it.”
Elin’s mana has been condensed and passed down from her ancestors under a curse.
It would be correct to view it as virtually infinite.
“Your Majesty.”
Nod.
Elin nodded, receiving attention.
Woohoo-!
The sound of gathering mana was different.
A spell that lifts objects.
The method of using so-called telekinesis is simple.
Identify the size and structure of objects.
Just surround it with mana and manipulate it.
Because the Bertain Mansion is twice as large as Berkeley’s.
The amount of mana collected has also doubled.
Dddd… .
Kukukukukuku…!
It feels like floating with a slight vibration.
It feels like riding an elevator.
“Crazy… … Is this how it works?”
Anne couldn’t help but be amazed as she watched the increasingly beautiful scenery.
The Bertain Estate, where a huge shadow is cast.
It feels like night is coming.
The mansion is now so high that the mountain peaks are visible.
“… Hey, hey. But how high does this go?”
Anne, whose mouth was wide open so wide that her jaw fell off, belatedly came to her senses.
“I will do this until the Duke comes out.”
“What? There’s no way the princess can maintain that… .”
“Huh?”
Elin looked at Anne with a calm expression.
Even the swaying hair of the fool gave off a sense of leisure.
“You need to trust your majesty a little.”
“… … ”
Anne, who had been thinking normally but then became an unbeliever, ended up forgetting her words.
And so, without knowing the end, the mansion rose into the sky like a hot air balloon.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
As expected, it came out.
Angry footsteps are heard from across the hallway.
Bam!
Luke quickly opened the door.
I was worried that the door might break while I was knocking on it.
“Luke Bucklin.”
“Your Majesty. What brings you here?”
“… What the hell are you doing?”
Bam-
The peacock’s teeth were ground mercilessly.
A fist that flows without being able to control the aura.
A cold gaze that makes it seem like your heart will go into a state of shock just by looking at it.
Behind him was a hallway marked with footprints.
Luke turned his head slightly and answered.
“I was in magic training.”
“… … training?”
“Yes. The next house selection is just around the corner.”
Anne looked at Luke from behind with a dumbfounded expression.
Isn’t this an absurd excuse for something like this?
“Are you trying to mock Bertain now?”
“How dare I do that?”
Just, Luke added.
“I can’t properly assess my opponent’s skills. So I’m just preparing as best I can.”
Words with substance.
To put it bluntly, he meant where he hid Clavel.
“… … ”
The Duke, who had figured out the true meaning, withdrew the auror with superhuman patience.
No matter how much the family curse is placed on the youngest.
But he’s a sociopathic piece of trash who spends his whole life abusing others to vent his anger while hiding that fact.
Outside, he is surprisingly a sword master and war hero of the Empire who is idolized by knights.
Carl Chad Bertain.
He still had some sense left to think about the reputation he would lose if he killed his tutor without thinking.
“Stop for a moment.”
“Are you willing to talk?”
“Because it’s there… Don’t you tell me to stop?”
A voice that made it seem like the room was freezing.
If I went out more shamelessly, I felt like my reputation and everything would be ruined.
“Your Highness. Can you just put it down?”
“… maybe?”
An uncertain answer.
Luke interpreted it as positively as possible.
“There is a possibility. That’s great.”
There was no way to lift Ellen from behind like in Bucklin.
You can already see clouds outside the window.
If you just release the magic here, the mansion itself will turn into a meteor.
That’s not what anyone wanted.
I carefully took hold of Ellen’s hand.
“I’ll help you. This time, we’ll move down.”
“Yeah… .”
It is actually more difficult to put down an object gently than to lift it with all your might.
Even if it was the Bertain Mansion, it was doubly difficult.
The good news is that Luke is here.
Woof-
If Elin moves the mansion little by little while consuming a huge amount of mana.
Luke linked the mana and carefully adjusted it.
Kuuung-
Thanks to that, the mansion returned to its original place without any problems.
It was okay because the servants would clean up the overturned land.
“Hoo… .”
Luke, who had wiped away the sweat, got up with the corners of his lips raised.
I wonder if you feel ready for conversation.
The peacock opened his mouth.
“Stop looking for Clavel.”
There are so many things you’re told not to do.
Luke, who was about to say that, replaced it with a grin.
“Reopen the kitchen and bathroom.”
It was because the peacock with numb feet confessed his sins.
Did you really do something like this to disturb Elin?
If the knights who respected the duke had seen this, they might have gouged out their own eyes.
“Okay. Don’t interfere with each other. Isn’t that fair preparation for the preliminary round?”
“So don’t tamper with the mansion again.”
“If there is nothing uncomfortable for you, Your Majesty.”
The peacock’s eyebrows twitched.
“Are you threatening me now?”
“Please think of this as a negotiation, not a threat.”
The corners of his lips rose slightly.
I don’t believe the saying that you can’t spit in a smiling face.
I thought it would feel good if the peacock got a little more excited.
“… … I’ll warn you again. I won’t do anything anymore. Don’t touch the mansion. ”
Hmm.
But this is strange.
Why do you insist so strongly on not touching the mansion?
Doesn’t this feel like… something is hidden in the mansion?
“Okay, I promise.”
Luke looked carefully at the corridor the Duke had walked through.
He nodded slowly.
* * * * *
The next day.
Everything returned to normal thanks to the ‘Elin’s Moving Mansion’ incident.
“Hahaha… Oh, you came.”
Ron, the chef who awkwardly welcomed us back.
“… Construction has suddenly stopped. You may use it again.”
The servants who were sent to the bathhouse went back scratching their heads.
“No, shaking the mansion was the right answer?”
“What did I say?”
“… … ”
While Anne was making an expression as if her common sense had been destroyed.
“Hmm… .”
After taking a fluffy bath.
Ellin, who had changed back into her bunny pajamas, yawned like a cat.
“Why did you tell me to put my pajamas back on?”
Normally, it would be routine to change into casual clothes and train.
however.
Luke felt it yesterday.
“What the princess needs right now is condition management.”
There is no need to train until the next house selection.
Anyway, it has already hit the ceiling (of course, it is higher than the sky) and its growth has slowed down.
From now on, I will focus solely on resting and maintaining the best condition possible.
That was the goal for the time being.
“Is that okay?”
“That should be it.”
“I see…so that’s it.”
Elin flinched at the firm answer.
I quietly climb back into bed.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a ride, so please rest comfortably.”
Camaro is the car that helped me solve my insomnia.
Just like when I first met Elin, I took out a teapot from the subspace and started boiling it.
While Elin was pulling on the rabbit ears on her pajamas.
Click.
“Enjoy your meal.”
Appropriately, we served Camille tea.
Horok.
Elin took a sip.
He started to sink into bed, feeling tired.
By the time I finished my glass, I had fallen asleep, muttering.
“Isn’t this a sleeping pill?”
“It has similar effects.”
“… Huh?”
While Anne was surprised.
Luke answered nonchalantly and patted Anne on the shoulder.
“Anne. Please help the princess get some rest.”
“You?”
“I have a place to go.”
“Where are you going?”
Luke answered, pulling something out of subspace.
“Going to find Princess Clavel.”
“… Didn’t we agree not to interfere with each other?”
“ did it.”
Swish.
Let’s wear all parts.
Luke’s body became transparent.
“What is this?”
“I received a gift.”
I think it was when I was in my second year at the academy.
It was an artifact that the fantasy magic professor had given me to come under him.
Of course, I’m still ignoring the professor’s contact.
To Anne, it was just empty space.
“But you know.”
Luke’s voice was heard there.
“A promise. If you don’t break it, it’s fine, right?”
“… I agree with that too.”
Anne was dragged away and beaten by Clavel for ignoring the commoners.
I agree with the sentence itself.
However, he was not bold enough to try to deceive Duke Bertain.
“I understand. I’m also very nervous.”
“Then how about just staying by the princess’s side?”
“But this is something that can’t be helped for the princess.”
“Walking around the mansion like a thief?”
Squeak.
Instead of answering, Luke quietly opened the door.
“I’ll be back.”
From now on, it’s time for Luke to work harder than Elin.
From ancient times, if you don’t get caught, it’s no different from not breaking a promise.
Slowly and steadily.
Luke walked down the hallway where the peacock had popped out.
