A gentle black magician. (4)

“Hey!! Release it now and take this down!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

The man on top of the black hand that was still in place shouted angrily, and I immediately dispelled the magic and brought them down to the ground.

“Kihiiing!!”

“Uh-huh, calm down.”

“Purr~”

When the magic was lifted and the men and women who had been evacuated came down, Bicorn immediately began to win. Yuria gave an order with a sword on his neck and a finger on his face, and the boy immediately calmed down and could only breathe heavily.

Obviously, the bicorns of this world have completely opposite characteristics from unicorns.

In other words, the setting would have been that he was a non-virgin lover who was extremely aggressive towards virgins.

hmm. I remembered some information that wasn’t very important.

“Um, over there… Gu, thank you for saving me… “

“No. In times of danger, we help each other.”

“Damn.”

“… ?”

Unlike the woman who was expressing her gratitude, the man who shouted irritably from above turned his hostile gaze towards me and even swore, and Yuria and I asked, ‘What is this guy?’ I looked at him with those eyes.

A white uniform that I think I’ve seen somewhere before, and light leather armor and a sword. After seeing that, I…

‘ah? You bastard!”

[Level: 14]

[Name: Harbhofen.]

[Role: The count’s second son. fiance. Imperial Royal Academy student.]

[Status: Annoyed. anger. complex. Nervous.]

[Characteristics: (Swordsmanship Lv. 2) (Auror Lv. 1) (Martial Arts Lv. 2) (Red Magic Lv. 1)]

I found out his identity through the status window.

The ‘self-proclaimed’ protagonist’s rival in the novel. He is a supporting character who appears occasionally after awakening in various ways after being defeated by the main character in a ranking match held in the Empire.

Wow, nice to meet you. But what is he doing here? If I made a mistake, I would have almost died, so couldn’t I do that?

The Empire Rankings will be held around July. It’s March now, so I definitely shouldn’t die, right?

In addition, I understood the identity of the guy and why he was acting so recklessly in response to the topic I received help from, but thanks to that, other questions began to arise.

Why is he acting suicidal? That is the question.

“Even if you didn’t help me, I could have caught it.”

“Ha, harvu. The people who helped me spoke that way… “

“Noisy! If you hadn’t fallen, you wouldn’t have lost your prey to these guys!!”

“Heeing… “

“”… … “”

My sister and I let out a sigh at the same time at the sight that made us frown, then we made eye contact and smiled bitterly, realizing that we both felt the same way.

Also, I first opened the status window on the female side… what?

[Level: 8]

[Name: Loretta Roerich.]

[Role: Baron writer’s three daughters. fiancee. Imperial Royal Academy student.]

[Status: Sorry. guilty. complex. Timid. shame.]

[Attribute: (Light attribute magic Lv. 1) (Martial arts Lv. 1)]

This time, I truly tilted my head when I saw the girl, who had light brown hair, round eyes that reminded me of a small animal, and was trembling because she was yelling, which looked cute.

‘Why is she walking around here instead of in bed?’

The girl, who was paralyzed from the waist down due to what was called an incurable disease, somehow found herself wandering around outside and nearly dying with her fiancé.

*

Harbhofen, a man who was in his second year at the Royal Academy this year, was very unhappy with the current situation.

“Damn… “

A prey lost right in front of your eyes. Because he couldn’t defeat Bicorn himself.

But he also knows the truth.

If he had continued to fight that monster, not only he but his fiance would have died today.

“Hey.”

“It’s not Ya, it’s Rudis. There is no last name.”

“Ha! Are you a commoner? Okay, I’ll forgive your rudeness. Instead, hand over all the bicorn horns.”

“I don’t like it. If we go to the Adventurer Management Office like this and get certified as a monster that you couldn’t catch, we’ll eat it all without having to go to trial, right?”

But, that is that and this is this.

He wanted to get his hands on the bicorn’s horn and the materials that could be obtained after killing it at any cost. of course.

“Prrr!!”

“Whoa, whoa. Wait quietly.”

I didn’t have the slightest intention of fighting the bicorn that was being held by that female beastman again, so I had no choice but to give up on the whereabouts after killing it.

No matter how much they thought about it, the giant horse-shaped monster that looked as if it was about to pounce on Loretta, his fiancée, was not a monster they could defeat. but.

“Ha! Adventurer Management Agency? What do you think such a common people management agency will do? Don’t you know who I am?”

“I don’t know. Do I need to know the person who didn’t even introduce himself and even asked me to hand over the bundle after I rescued him?”

“Listen carefully. I am a second year student at the Empire’s Royal Academy and the second son of the Empire’s noble family, Count Hofen. Now, take the bicorn horn and put aside your rudeness… “

“Yes, recording completed~ Aristocrat abuse of power is a topic that is selling like hot cakes on social media these days. There will be interesting stories from the Academy, right? So, how much will the Hoppen family offer in this recording for you? Well, if I don’t like it, I’ll upload the recording and get some views.”

“This bastard… !!”

“Ha, harbuu, let’s stop… Still, he is a benefactor who saved our lives… “

“You keep your mouth shut!”

“Hiik… “

I thought I could do something about the commoner man in front of me, so I continued to push my coercive attitude, but he just snorted and started waving his hands as if he was pushing away a bug.

‘shit!!’

“Hey, when they say nice things, just ignore it.”

“No, from anyone’s perspective, with your skills, the best thing you could have done was to get stuck in the bicorn’s horn and live your life, rather than cutting off the bicorn’s horn. If you just ask for it, who will give it to you?”

“… Fuck. How much.”

“Yes?”

“How much does it cost?!!”

I just wanted to get it, but when I saw his attitude and behavior, I thought it would be wrong to just rip him off, so I frowned as grimly as possible and switched to talking about money. The guy’s eyes widened as if he didn’t know this was going to happen, then he stroked his chin and opened his mouth as if thinking. .

“1.5 million gold.”

“… good. Deposit right now… “

“One is 1.5 million, two together is 3 million.”

“Fuck! Don’t be damned! It’s double the market price!!

3 million. It’s not like he doesn’t have any money, but when he shouts at the amount, which is equivalent to all of his possessions, the man shrugs his shoulders and asks if he’s an alpha.

‘Damn, I was going to tell you to cut off that bicorn’s head for 3 million and hand it over… !!’

“So, do you deposit money? If you deposit now, I will hand it over right away, or I will process it and use it.”

“What?! Now, wait!! Processing, you?!!”

“Of course. Didn’t you see it earlier? Even though I look like this, I’m a black magician who can use some tricks, right?”

“Harv, Po, let’s give up. huh… ?”

“Loretta! You just stay quiet!”

“No, hey! I was just quietly listening from a while ago, but you. Aren’t you doing too much to a weak girl?”

The golden fox beast, who had not been involved in the conversation until now, frowned and spoke to me, and I retorted by glaring at the woman.

“Grandma, why don’t you pay attention and just hold the bicon?”

“Ha, grandma… ?!”

Although he looks like he’s only just turned 20, the level of swordsmanship and movements he showed earlier.

In addition, given that she is skilled enough to tame a bicorn and is a non-virgin, it is clear that the beast is a young woman in her 50s or 60s.

Moreover, looking at the instructions she received earlier, I thought it was clear that she had received a request from that man to be an escort, so Harv ignored her. however.

“Hey, lower the price.”

“Yes. I’ll take 5 million. Oh, 500 each, the two together are 1,000.”

“What bullshit?! Who would buy it at that price? !!”

“You called my pretty sister “grandmother,” and you’ve been fucking with me ever since the moment you saved her. Is there any reason why I should sell it to you? Hey, if it were you, would you sell it to a bastard like you?”

“What?! This commoner… !!”

“Bicorn, he asks.”

“Kihiiing!!”

“Hi… !!”

I tried to shake my fist in response to the man who had completely kicked out the negotiation for ignoring the beastman grandmother, but as their response had almost completely tamed the bicorn, only this side was starting to become dangerous.

In fact, it is certain that that monster is not the one they registered and raised. Release the bicorn here, and even if it really dies from being bitten, it will end when they report that they killed the bicorn as revenge for a human being killed by a monster.

Thinking about it that way, Harv felt that he had to retreat from here.

“Damn you, you guys! I remembered your face!! Let’s go!”

“Ah, ah! Now, wait a minute… ! Oh, I’m sorry. Ha, Harv isn’t really that kind of person… “

“Let’s go!!”

“I will repay you when I see you later. Wow, thank you!”

Just like that, Rudis and Yuria quietly watched them turn their backs and walk away without achieving any of their goals.

“Why are they doing that?”

“Well. Even though bicorn horns are expensive, they are not a material that you can’t buy, so if you’re hoping for a material you just caught like that, doesn’t that mean you’re hoping for the outcome of subjugating bicorns, not the horn?”

” Right? I was thinking that too.”

I erased the disdainful gaze I had been giving while fighting with the man named Harv just now, and looked at his back as he walked away curiously.

*

“Harv, you went too far just now. No matter how urgent it is, you shouldn’t have done that to the people who helped you… “

“Noisy.”

“Harv is too cold to me these days. By any chance, you hate me now… ?”

“Damn, that can’t be possible.”

The two people who returned to the capital were heading back to the Imperial Academy with the setting sun on their backs.

And when the girl’s voice trembled as if she was anxious about her fiancé’s continued cold attitude towards her, he scratched his head in annoyance, then reached out his other hand and held the hand of the girl who was two heads smaller than himself, firmly but without pain.

“Sorry… “

“Ugh, it’s okay. Harv acted for me, I know for sure.”

“… That too, I’m sorry for putting you in danger. You didn’t do anything wrong, but you just screamed for no reason… “

Unlike before, Loretta smiled slightly when she saw him saying that he was sincerely sorry for putting him in danger in front of Bicorn, and his voice was dispirited.

Originally, my fiancé was not a person like before who had no sense of grace and had the personality to yell at others.

It’s just that he’s a little cornered right now and his emotions are taking precedence over reason. She was the one who understood him properly.

Just like that, the two arrived at the entrance of the academy in a slightly softer mood than before.

“… Damn.”

“… … “

He looked at the school gate with a life-like expression, as if showing that he was a nobleman as he had a fierce fight with Rudis in front of Bicorn’s horn.

“Ha! Ugly little brother. What are you doing? Why are you holding the hand of the woman who will become this brother’s fiancé? By any chance, have you subdued Bicorn?”

“”… … “”

The two people were unable to give any answer.
