episode_0088

A command so firm that it feels chilling.

I can’t bring myself to refuse the order.

For a moment, I nodded.

Actually, I wasn’t tired because I was worried about the next house.

Because of the contract, I’m a little weak.

Sometimes I feel dizzy.

My joints hurt here and there.

And also… … .

Oh, I just had nosebleeds and coughed up some blood every day.

If the saint had heard, she would have hit the back of his head and healed him.

Unfortunately, Aurora was dealing with a backlog of schedules in the Holy Land.

Exactly.

Luke snapped his fingers and opened a portal.

The portal that should show the other side is.

Jijik-

It showed a slightly distorted and misaligned dimension.

“Teacher?”

“Positioning was in progress.”

“I just saw the Bucklin Mansion… .”

“Okay.”

The unstable portal is back.

Luke thought, having glossed over his mistake.

I didn’t know it would be so weak that it wouldn’t even be able to maintain a portal.

I guess I should take a break.

hmm.

Once the next family is decided, let’s take a vacation or something and rest well.

I need to maintain that level of health to see Ellen grow up.

Luke, who rarely decides to take a break.

Before any further suspicion could grow, I quickly crossed the portal.

* * * * *

“Is this Berkeley?”

Elin arrived and opened her mouth wide.

It’s a place I’ve visited often.

The dazzlingly decorated Bucklin mansion was unrecognizable.

Its appearance is so splendid that it can be considered comparable to Bertain.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’ve arrived at the right place.”

That’s what I said though.

In fact, Luke was also embarrassed.

If someone saw us, they would think we were getting married today.

I thought I had gotten used to the noble lifestyle.

They are giving this much power to a social gathering that is just announcing the fact of marriage.

“I’m going to Paris.”

Tub.

Lift and close Elin’s jaw, which is still open.

I walked into the mansion.

Let’s go through the gate.

“Huh? You… .”

Someone pretended to know Luke.

He was an old wizard with a white beard that reached down to his waist.

“Isn’t that Luke Bucklin? Why did he study under Aindel… .”

“Ah.”

I remembered.

When I was in the third grade.

An orthodox elemental magician who came as a guest to his advisor.

What was the name… .

When I was going through the names in my head.

The old wizard continued.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Hello. But why aren’t you coming in and are you here? Is there someone waiting for you?”

“Huh? No. I just got here. Let’s go in together, hehe.”

An old wizard walks ahead with a kind smile.

Something was strange.

Before Luke came in, he was looking around as if he was looking for someone.

“… … !”

Suddenly, I got goosebumps.

… Were you waiting for Luke?

It wasn’t an impossible story.

Today’s event is the Bucklin-hosted Magic Society.

And Luke’s family is Bucklin.

If all the wizards who were obsessed with Luke were present today.

You may be plagued by evil hands all day trying to drag you to graduate school and the rooftop.

“Your Majesty.”

“Huh?”

“Can you help me?”

Luke looked at Elin quietly.

Shudder.

Ellen’s stupid hair stood on end.

Because I’ve never seen Luke’s eyes look so earnest in my life.

“Okay.”

Ellen nodded solemnly.

If Luke says something like that, then something big is definitely wrong.

* * * * *

“Ah! What a coincidence. Luke Bucklin. I never thought I’d see him in a place like this!”

“Nice to meet you. But let’s talk later. Princess Bertain is visiting right now and is on her way to see you.”

“Uh, yeah? Okay! But you know my name, right… … .”

As expected, there were hyenas inside the mansion targeting Luke.

Of course, the professor who was in charge of Luke.

Slaves who were caught in graduate school… no, seniors and classmates.

Even the president.

Each time, Luke would go to the office, selling Bertain’s name.

Actually, I wasn’t wrong.

Even though I still don’t have the strength.

It is true that Elin is a member of Bertain.

Because I’ll be the next one soon.

“You arrived here safely. Thank you, Your Highness.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Your mere presence helped me.”

“… … !”

Ellen’s stupid hair stands on end in the shape of an exclamation mark.

What Luke just said sounded like, ‘Just having you around gives me strength.’

It was a really good translator.

Kuk.

Elin tightened her grip on Luke’s hand.

“I’ll be by your side from now on.”

“… Thank you?”

Luke tilted his head.

I don’t know why Elin reacts this way.

Anyway, we reached the safe zone.

Knock knock.

“Brother. I’m here.”

I knocked on the office door.

I thought I had peace of mind now.

Click-

“Oh my, Senior Luke?”

“Who? Luke?”

Two unknown women came out of the office.

“Who are you?”

Luke unknowingly pushed Elin forward.

The intention was to recite Bertain’s name out of habit and defeat the evil wizards.

Blink, blink.

As she had always done, Elin just blinked her large eyes quietly.

If you stay still, Luke will say a few words.

The wizards would let Luke go with regretful faces.

“Don’t you remember us, senior?”

“We also did our group project together.”

But the women continued their conversation as if nothing had happened.

“… … ”

Elin’s stupid hair shook in discontent, feeling somehow ignored.

“… ?”

Luke was also embarrassed.

From what they say, it seems like they are a junior and senior at the academy.

This must have been the first or second time I did a group project.

No matter how good your memory is, you can’t remember all the members of a group that did a group project dozens of times.

“Oh, so that’s what happened.”

Luke, who didn’t think much of it, looked around the office.

“But where did you go, brother?”

Victor was nowhere to be seen.

“We don’t know either, so we’re waiting.”

The junior answered.

“Then I’ll come later… .”

“Hey, why did you come here again and where are you going? Just wait with me.”

The senior tapped Luke on the shoulder.

“It’s nice to see you after such a long time. Huh? What have you been up to?”

Anyone could tell that there was impure intention mixed in with the way he raised the corners of his lips.

A pretentious mask that seems to show that they are trying to somehow connect.

It was no wonder Luke was in a bad mood.

“… … ”

Elin’s mood was also hurt.

It was because he was uncomfortable with a strange woman talking to Luke.

“I’m sorry. The Princess of Berthain is here, so I can’t wait that long. I’ll come back later.”

Luke swallowed his rising irritation and used the Elin Shield once more.

“Huh? Was there another princess besides Lady Clavel in Bertain?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a young princess.”

The junior and senior looked at each other and tilted their heads.

And then they whispered among themselves.

“I’ve never heard of it, so maybe it’s only in the mansion?”

“Why? Is there any family that boasts as much as Bertha?”

“Isn’t it because you don’t have enough skills to brag about it?”

“That could be possible.”

They spoke in as quiet a voice as possible.

Unfortunately, Elin’s hearing was much more sensitive than that of the average person.

In terms of numbers, it means that Luke’s footsteps can be recognized from a radius of 30 meters away.

There were two reasons why I had superhuman hearing.

I had a painful past where I had to run away when I heard my father’s knock.

Lately, my overflowing mana has been enhancing my senses.

“… Teacher.”

Ellen remembers.

It’s clear that Ellin has to show off her skills at this social gathering.

At the time, I didn’t know what he was talking about.

Now I understand.

That the name is unknown.

There was always a high chance of being ignored by others.

Luke nodded, receiving Elin’s gaze.

“Please refrain from using rude language. Even though Princess Elin may look cute and gentle, she might drop a meteorite when she gets angry.”

I tried to convey only the facts as mildly as possible.

In fact, Elin’s spatial magic achievements were that outstanding.

“… Yes?”

“Meteorite?”

But if Luke had known this, there is no way he wouldn’t have known their names.

“Are you kidding?”

“Still having fun?”

The women looked at Elin, giggling as if she found her cute.

“… … ”

There, something snapped in Ellen’s mind.

Only Luke could look at a child in that way.

“Your Majesty.”

“Huh?”

“… Don’t be too harsh.”

Luke, who had read the bubbling emotions, warned her in advance.

“… Ah.”

Thanks to this, the catastrophe of a meteorite hitting the Bucklin mansion was prevented.

Yes, we are a family that will be getting engaged in the future.

It won’t work if you break it.

Elin, who had regained a little bit of her senses, was troubled.

How can I beat up those who tease me and beat up Elin?

The worry didn’t last long.

If you stretch out your mana and shoot down something caught in the sky, it’s a meteorite.

Then wouldn’t it be better to do it the other way around?

Woof-

Elin immediately cast her spell.

Dddd… .

A mansion where you can feel the vibration.

With a loud noise that shook the body.

Ellen’s hair stands out in a mess.

“Huh… ?”

“What is this… .”

Only then did the junior and senior notice something strange.

Unless you use flight magic.

No matter what magic is used, the wizard’s body will never float up.

Just one case.

Unless it’s pouring out mana as overwhelming as the ocean.

“Seo, senior. Outside the window…!”

“Ugh… … .”

Those who looked out the window froze.

A landscape that is gradually descending.

The ground outside isn’t actually collapsing.

The entire mansion was rising.

Yes, that’s right.

Instead of dropping the meteor, Elin used spatial magic to lift the mansion.

When the mansion began to rise, the tops of the trees were gradually visible.

“What the hell is going on??!!!”

Victor ran out from somewhere.

But he was dressed up more stylishly than usual.

There was a look of astonishment on his face that was rare to see.

“Oh, brother, you’re here.”

Luke waved at Victor nonchalantly.

“Luke… .”

Victor looked back and forth between Luke, who had a relaxed expression, and Elin, who was also floating.

It wasn’t a gamble to become the next head of Bucklin.

Victor, who immediately figured out who was the culprit of this situation, approached Luke.

“Can you stop it?”

“Of course.”

It wasn’t a difficult request.

Luke shrugged and stood behind Elin.

And then he put his arms around my waist and hugged me in a flash.

“!”

Elin’s magic was broken when her concentration was broken.

Kuuung-!!!

The mansion that had been floating up and down came back down to its original place.

For a while I couldn’t see outside the window because of the rising dust cloud.

“… … ”

Victor gaped for a long time.

I should probably ask what the hell I have to do to lift the entire mansion.

I was torn between whether I should thank him for not destroying the mansion.

“Haven’t your skills improved a lot, Princess?”

While everyone was lost in thought.

Luke broke the silence with a proud look on his face.

“Who is that kid?”

“I’m sure it was Elin of the Bertain Dukes earlier… .”

“, Elin Bertain?”

“You mean you were hiding such a restraint in Bertain?”

“Did you grow some kind of secret weapon… .”

The rumor quickly spread among the surrounding wizards.

Since she showed up with such a performance, the name Elin Bertain must have been clearly imprinted in everyone’s mind.

“Did I do well?”

“Of course. It was a really great magic.”

Swish swish.

Luke strokes Elin’s head with a happy smile.

Ellin enjoys it again with a satisfied expression like a full cat.

“… … crazy things.”

Victor, who had just almost lost the family line he had protected for generations, let out a curse.

Of course, no one thought it was too much.
