    Why are you doing this to me? (1)



    Somewhere a bit far from the imperial capital.

    “This is it. A place where there are traces of demons.”

    “Yes.”

    A man who looked to be middle-aged and a man in a suit who looked like an attendant following him were at the place where Rudis had previously fought the demons.

    “I can definitely sense the remnants of high-level black magic.”

    With just a light movement of his fingers, the man was able to understand what other magicians could barely confirm in almost a day, and he lightly spread his magic towards the surrounding scenery.

    “Hmm. Huh.”

    “Tap owner, why are you doing this?”

    Magic tower owner.

    The owner of the Imperial Magic Tower, a man who came there only four days after the incident was reported on the news due to a tight schedule for the year, realized that he had come too late.

    This means that they should have come quickly, even if they had to cancel their previous plans.

    “Tell this to the knights and magicians of the Tower. Stop chasing the demons and black magicians who are currently chasing you.”

    “… Yes?”

    “It has no meaning. Because the work here is ‘already done.’”

    The attendant who had been by his side for a long time stopped for a moment, not understanding what he was saying, but the man who was the owner of the Imperial Magic Tower and the greatest [Wizard] in the world paid no heed to the attendant’s reaction and turned his back to look at the capital. .

    “And, please cancel all plans for the next two days starting tomorrow. Because I feel like I have some personal business to attend to.”

    Clark Theodore, the magic tower lord of the Imperial Magic Tower, was staring straight at an invisible street in the imperial capital.

    Late night.

    A doll invaded the room of a man who was sleeping peacefully and breathing evenly.

    -… …

    It was too small to be called footsteps, and a bit heavy to be called the sound of wind, but it moved very quietly and slowly, making a sound that did not wake the man in black.

    -Pop.

    With a small sound of the blocked air being pulled out, the doll’s hand was gripped with something blunt and sharp and longer than fingers, and it began to move toward the man’s mouth, which was breathing evenly.

    -Sure. Okay.

    The doll, who very gently, quietly, and without excessively applied that sharp, blunt object to the corner of the man’s mouth, put the object in its pocket, its golden eyes shining brilliantly in the darkness, and just like that.

    -Smurf. Sloshing.

    He slowly pulled down the jacket he was wearing and approached his face.

    -Mulkeung, sreuk, mulkeung.

    Something large and soft and elastic gently attaches itself to the man’s face and falls off repeatedly, and the doll with golden eyes slowly falls from his body, and when it sees its exposed body, it shows its pure white fangs and laughs darkly in the dark room. The man disappeared as quietly as he had entered the room where he was sleeping.

    ‘… Mr. Yuria?’

    At first, the man, who had no idea that something was happening due to the perfect presence blocking, was slightly awakened by a pleasant and warm, yet soft and cool sensation, and was finally awakened by the small sound of laughter she let out.

    And when I looked at it too late, as if chasing it, I blinked at the shine of its golden tail, shining brilliantly even at night as it disappeared between the doors, thinking I had no idea what was going on.

    “Sister.”

    “Huh?”

    “… No.”

    “Why~? Do you want your sister to cook for you again?”

    “… I’ll think about it if you bring Miss Loretta too.”

    “Heeing… I practiced.”

    Instead of eating breakfast from the convenience store like usual, we eat sandwiches from the convenience store at the hotel.

    Meanwhile, I was curious about what my sister did when she came to my room yesterday and tried to ask her, but I felt uncomfortable asking so I decided to keep quiet.

    And unlike the protagonists of other romantic comedies, my stomach was not made of vibranium.

    That day, after eating purple-flavored miso soup and gray egg rolls that looked like they were made from volcanic ash, I ended up being stopped by my sister at the Imperial Church.

    -No, who on earth would poison such a faithful brother… ?! Obviously confidentiality… !!

    -No! You passed out after eating the breakfast I made?!

    -… It says you are addicted to light attribute magic?

    -Kyuuuu…

    Food poisoning is also an addiction.

    It’s just that the magician at the healing center, not the hospital, used light attribute magic to check, so no detailed information was displayed.

    In the end, after I collapsed for a day, I apologized to my sister, saying, ‘I have a weak stomach, so I’m sorry.’ After that, my sister said she didn’t know what was wrong and went back to Loretta and asked her for the recipe.

    And, for a while until I was ‘admitted’ to the healing center, Miss Loretta came to visit me with her older sister.

    -Uh, I don’t think you should cook…

    That’s what my sister told me while she was away.

    Shit, a few years ago, Ellis said, ‘Mom, if you eat, you’ll die. really.’ I can’t believe it was true when I said that I would rather have drinks with my senior and my teacher.

    God gave my sister great maternal love, heart, and consideration, but it seems that God took away her cooking talent.

    Really, I thought that was why I was going back to you guys that day?

    Are you listening to my prayers?

    “Woong yum yum, gulp. Oh, Rudis?”

    “Yes.”

    “Sister, I think I’ll go out for a bit today, but you can keep the house by yourself, right?”

    “Of course. By the way, where are you coming from?”

    “What is that? ⎯A woman’s secret‧milk♬”

    But what if you’re not good at cooking? You’re so desirable and beautiful.

    I respond positively to my older sister who raises her index finger and winks.

    In fact, if she had been good at cooking, Yuria would have been called a true beauty of all kinds.

    Phew, I’m glad you can’t cook. The country will not be destroyed!

    After finishing breakfast, Yuria went outside first, dressed in a black suit, and I stayed home alone and opened the newspaper.

    Other people check with their cell phones, but cell phones for use by black magicians are still slow to spread in this country, so this is a bit inconvenient.

    “Huh, it broke like this.”

    -Kingdom Breaking News: Frisian Royal Academy, demons invade outdoor training!

    -… (Omitted) The person who defeated the demon in question was revealed to be Fianna Stone, the lord of the Black Magic Tower, famous in the Kingdom of Frisia. She completely refused any interviews and disappeared into the Magic Tower with her student… (omitted) Some magic experts suggest that she may have known about the invasion of demons because she is a black magician, or that she may have arrived there after learning of the crisis faced by Miss Nora, the pupil of the tower owner…

    -Exclusive report: Frisian Royal Academy. This wasn’t the first time the demons invaded! Whistleblowing by an insider!

    -Subtitle: Is the Academy okay as is?

    -From before… (omitted) According to an insider, the number of demons the students had defeated on their own was already two. And in this incident, if it weren’t for Miss Nora, a second-year student who single-handedly stopped the demons and protected her fellow student, there would have been a lot of casualties, and there was also the story of Crown Prince Albert Dear Freesia… (Omitted) The incident of demon intrusion into the academy that has not been revealed to the outside world until now may still be the tip of the iceberg…

    -Report: Special interview with a student in the Black Magic Department. I watched the fierce battle.

    -It is said that the student remembered what the demon said during the outdoor training of the black magic class. The demons are targeting the demon tower master’s disciples and the crown prince… (omitted) The student was hiding alone and crying in the midst of the chaos for about 15 minutes, but he was a disciple of his senior, the Magic Tower Lord. Miss Nora, a warlock, says that she is being interviewed like this now because she protected them on behalf of the knights and professors who did not come no matter how long they waited, and that thinking about the incident at that time still makes her cry because of severe PTSD…

    -Investigative reporting: Royal Knights, Knights Templar. What were the professors doing?

    -… (Omitted) The Academy will determine the cause of the negligent professors of the class and the Knights who showed up late and responded late to the incident at the time, and will take thorough disciplinary action against the relevant personnel…

    – Report: Royal Academy dropout, transfer student. The best ever.

    – Due to the demon incident that occurred as soon as this semester began, the number of quarterly dropouts exceeded 300% compared to the previous year, and 20 students have already dropped out or applied for transfers, making it the worst…

    “… Nora, you’re safe.”

    Although the article is from three days ago, the fact that the kingdom’s affairs are being featured so prominently in the empire shows just how serious this incident is.

    Did he take what I gave him well, or did he just overcome it on his own?

    But what did the crown prince do to fall down after being seriously injured?

    It should be said that the sub-protagonist stopped the guy here with Nora, but in the student interview here, it was written that the crown prince was the first to run away while running away.

    No, you can’t do that, you bastard. It’s a coupling ring for you and Nora.

    Wow, what kind of man is this who will be my brother-in-law? Tsk tsk tsk.

    Moreover, I wonder why Master came out here again.

    Originally, Nora and the Crown Prince should have held on without winning and the professor and the knights should have rushed in to resolve the matter, but with the Master stepping in, criticism towards the academy increased enormously.

    ‘Besides, if you were a teacher, that demon bastard’s mind magic wouldn’t have worked, no way… Hey, I won’t get caught.’

    That demon is a guy who uses black magic to interfere with people’s minds. He can’t do anything huge, but he can cast light magic on most people that would make them unable to recognize or remember their faces.

    Of course, the same goes for Nora, who is far weaker than the demons.

    Of course, it didn’t work for me, so I got beat up as soon as I saw his face.

    anyway. Honestly, I think everyone agrees that it would be a better ending to have a few people fired and a few drop out than to have more than 70 people become immortal.

    Well, it’s the optimal ending that only I know.

    “… Tsk. It’s hard to be by your side, and if you’re away from me, I worry like children left in the river. This guy feels like he’s going to explode inside.”

    I put down the newspaper and drank the coffee my older sister had left, thinking, “Nora is okay, so let’s have a drink.”

    No, you drink coffee well. Why is cooking like that?!

    Thinking that they had pulled out a large stone with their own strength, I was looking blankly out the window and enjoying the city man atmosphere.

    -smart.

    “Huh?”

    Someone knocked on the door of the dorm.

    My sister would have the key, so she wouldn’t knock on the door. If it were Ms. Harb or Loretta, she would have rang the bell and said her name, but who?

    Feeling uneasy for some reason, I sat down on a chair and used my magic to check on the other person.

    “It’s a fairly refined use of magical power. But, isn’t it just spreading magic rather than detection magic? The efficiency may be quite poor, but you control and use your magic very well.”

    “… … “

    The door was probably closed, but I broke into a cold sweat when I saw the voice that seemed to be right in front of my nose and the man who had been captured by my magic.

    why? Why is that person here? Wait, did I do something?

    Could it be that there was something defective in the previously delivered catalyst?

    If there is a defect, just call me and tell me, and I will refund your money.

    “I think I know what you’re thinking, but there’s no need to be anxious. Dark magician of the kingdom, open this door.”

    You’ll never know what I’m thinking.

    There is no way you could know how I feel about finding out if the catalyst I made that day was defective.

    And don’t worry, have you forgotten who you are?

    The world’s greatest [wizard], the owner of the Empire’s Magic Tower, whose schedule is so packed every year that he has to make an appointment three months in advance to meet even the leading nobles and emperors of Qi, let alone the royal families of other countries.

    “I, Clark Theodore, have something to say to you personally.”

    The only entity in this world that can be said to be stronger than our teacher has invaded the lodgings I am in.
