Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru! - Chapter 144

The victory parade in Imperial City a few days after the Mizumins left for the city of Kranto ended without any problems.

The teatania that Fermenia dresses up in witchcraft is perfect, and without the rampage of the most concerned Io Kuzami. If I were to be strong and mention the problem, it would be about that because I kept waving with a smile for a long time, all the participants had strange muscles on their faces and all in all, their arms were severely tired feathers.

No way. Refill almost shrunk, and Liliana wandered over and over again. I can see the difficulty.

The big event ended well, and Trinity, the leader of the backup group, was remembering a conversation with Shuiming in a carriage bound for the city of Kranto.

"Magic... no, magic..."

Looking out the window of the carriage, what comes to mind is that I was talking to him in the north position. Ever since he found out he was a magician, he talked about a lot of things, but I still wonder if he remembers them now. Where in the peaceful world where the instruments of that civilization developed, there was uncertainty about such things as witchcraft?

But the more it seemed, the matter of mystery would have meant that it had been carefully and meticulously hidden. In the valley of the building, in the shadow of the neon gleam, secretly lest it be found.

After we talked about that, when I laughed and said I still couldn't believe there was magic in the other world, Mizumi replied:

- Most people in our world grow up in science. That's what I think. The truth is... no one really knows which is the legitimate law, right? Law is nothing but a deemed (...) thing that in the end just fits into a phenomenon that humans can think of on their own. I don't know much about witchcraft, but if you fail, it's because it's unscientific, but when you fail to ask for results under the laws of physics, you fail, right? We can all be asked why science fails, but magicians only know why magic fails. So in the end, I don't think it's possible. The point is, there's a difference in consciousness. I grew up with the laws of physics, so that's all I can believe. Because I have no knowledge of science or physics, and that's the only way I've ever produced success. So...

That's why he thinks so.

That, in the end, is something you don't know unless you can deliberately succeed in witchcraft and make it routine. Even now that I can use magic, I still wonder. I would say that in the other world no longer, even the foundations on which magic can be believed have already been removed.

Outside the window of the carriage, gazing at the flowing scenery, I think. In the meantime, I was curious about my friend who told me that.

"Um, is Shuiming strong?

If you noticed, yes, I was asking Refill to sit next to me.

When asked, Refille gently lifted the big hat with her index finger to reveal her face.

"Suimei is strong. I'm too much of a swordsman to explain exactly how strong I am, but assuming Swimei is weak, most people in the world will be cluttered fish."

Listening to Refill's words and turning their gaze to Fermenia and Liliana, they snort as if they were in agreement. And now, when you turn your gaze to Io Kuzami, who seems to have been putting your thoughts outside the window,

"Hmm? Oh, my rivals are strong, huh? What, you don't get it?

"Hmmm. I found out you're a magician, and then you're just like always..."

Even after he confessed to being a magician, Shuiming turned out to be nothing more than Shuiming. It stinks like usual, basically fluffy. He started telling me a lot of things, but I'm still not sure about strength.

"Damn, my fiancée's eye is still there."

"Little by little, I think it's getting stronger."

"I guess that's just to say that the protection of the goddess is tame, isn't it?

"I wonder if I am..."

I have a feeling that I'm getting stronger. But it's the same thing again, that it's an improvement at an unnatural rate. So sometimes I don't even know if I'm really getting stronger.

"Raj, what is it like to be protected by a goddess?

Answer Liliana's question with her hands gently wriggling like a baby.

"I'm not sure for sure either, but it feels like I'm getting stronger even though I didn't do anything...?

"That's not because of your mind... is it?

"Could it be the power of example Sacramento, that means?

"Hmmm...... I feel different from that. When I draw on the power of Sacramento, it feels like my abilities have been strengthened, but I don't think I can fight forever. You mean you can't see the limits anymore? I feel like I have a lot of magic and strength."

Having Sacramento will raise the bottom of your magic and strength, but it won't last forever. Therefore, this feeling is uncomfortable for Trinity.

"I feel stronger than before."

"About that? Lord Fermenia."

"Perhaps it is the patronage of the goddess accompanied by the rite of summoning Yingjie. It's a story of gradually becoming stronger, so I was wondering if the current increase in Lord Reggie's power is also that."

"The protection of the goddess is amazing."

"It's sloppy,"

Raise your hand as if Fermenia had something to talk about as Refill and Liliana seem to be jealous.

"Um, Lord Reggie. I'm just curious."

"Is that a concern?

When asked back, Fermenia turns a blind eye to Lefir. Then she creases. Hi. I hear you two have the same question. Eventually, Refill opened his mouth.

"Well, to be frank, I thought Reggie wasn't mad at Suimei."

"Am I angry with Mizumi...?

"That, because Lord Swimey told Lord Reggie that he kept quiet about being a magician. I was wondering if I still had something to think about."

"Oh......"

I guess that's what I'm asking. They both wonder if there's a crack between them and Mizumi, or if they're afraid of me.

Looking to them like that, I remember things in the modern world,

"... when I was in the other world, I stuck my neck in some pretty dangerous stuff and I was just being impotent. When someone is in trouble, something becomes unbearable and I want to help them... so I always bother with Mizumi and Mizuki who are with me a lot... at that time, there was quite a bit of wonder that happened and helped me.... now that I think about it again, Mizumi said she was helping me behind it."

I can't deny that the story is irreplaceable because I remember the time. But on second thought, all I could think was that magic was involved. When surrounded by defects, that's the only thing that doesn't kick in if you name it: that somehow the opponent collapsed bumpy on his own, that the bullets off the pistols that the liberal people had, and that the fraudulent killer turned himself in. So...

"I've been kept secret, I do have some things to do, but if there are rules like that over there, I can't help it, and one way or the other, I'm more sorry I didn't say thank you... I don't think I've ever been able to tell you about me after all that"

"But when it comes to breaking up at the royal castle, doesn't that mean that Suimei-kun has limited it?

"Fighting the Demons is a decision I made on my own without consulting the two of you. Isn't it usually something that's not weird to look at as far as it goes there? I don't want to lend a hand to people who start doing unscrupulous things on their own, and I don't think I'm going to teach them how to get back to the other world."

"That would be extreme."

"I think so."

The point is, I moved too far without thinking. I made the mistake of climbing up to the word "chosen" and being able to do anything. Is it possible to say that Shuiming has moved on his own? Even he has something to do. I don't have the right to limit it, etc.

Besides,

"Even Mizumi didn't do anything. Shuiming was moving according to her beliefs in Shuiming. And when we came to Empire City, you welcomed me with pleasure. So that's enough of this story."

"... you're a good friend"

"It's a waste of time."

Refile smiles, but Liliana is relentless. But I guess that's all we're cracking. It seems that Mizumi cares not to discourage her.

"Speaking of which, I heard Mr. Refill came running away from Astel with Mizuming, but that, after all?

"Oh, no. I didn't run away, I got help from Suimei."

After hearing Lefir's answer, he also turned his gaze to those of Fufu and Fermenia,

"I was a little special... and Lord Suimei sold me a fight to pay me back."

"Heh? or payback!? So you fought Shuiming!?

"Yes, was it about a week or two after Lord Reggie and his men came to the royal castle? Well, I was suspicious of Lord Swimey's behavior, so when I tailed after Lord Swimey at night, I was actually lured."

"Oh, did that happen..."

"Are you that surprised?

"... well, I don't have an image of a teacher setting it up from me."

"I was growing, you know, embarrassed. I think Lord Reggie saw it too..."

"Oh, speaking of..."

Hear what Fermenia has to say and remember. that when she was supposed to teach herself magic, she was treating her colleague, the court magician, pretty high pressure. At that time, the language was not as polite as it is now, so if I were told that I would have thought of it, I do think it might be so.

"Well, after that encounter, I'm going to ask Lord Swimey to teach me sorcery"

"Wow, I defeated the Demon General with Swimei too!?

"Why are you trying to hang out there, Refile?"

For some reason, watching Refile with a rival heart brings a laugh to the pretense. Fermenia and Refill, who found such a smile, began to tilt their little necks.

"Shui Ming is as hot as ever."

"What?"

"Huh?"

Two people were poking each other in the face, turning to each other at the same time. And have you noticed what this word means,

"In Lord Reggie's mouth, there was a woman in the other world who was after Lord Swimey."

"What the hell is that all about, Reggie?"

"Everything and nothing, over there, because girls used to come to Mizumi's. I'm familiar with childhood... I think I know about Mr. Decaying Leaf, but besides that, foreign girls and foreign girls..."

Liliana, who heard the story, narrowed her sleepy eyes even more frigid, one word or two.

"... Sumei is Park Min-Jen."

"Totally agree. That man should be stabbed by someone once. Hmm."

As I agree with that, even Io Kuzami speaks spicy words. It would be terrible to say, but I am certain that I cannot sympathize, so I stayed to defend myself.

Meanwhile, Lefir, who had heard that,

I'll have to ask you more about that later.

The beginning and end of saying that. That, whatever,

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the city of Kranto,"

Attracted by Liliana's voice, she looks ahead through the carriage window and sees a line of castle gates in the city of Krant and people waiting to enter the city. Arrival is already around the corner.

"Sure, we went straight into the city, didn't we?

"Yes. After you've crept through the gate, look at the fold and join the soothsayers."

After everyone confirmed their plans for the future, the carriage eventually arrived at the castle gate and got off the carriage as soon as they circled through the castle gate as per the meeting. I visited once about entering the city, so the process went smoother than I thought.

Stretch gently in the square in front of the castle gate. The sky is clear. Sometimes freed from the narrow areas inside the car, it's crisp.

"Mizuminos, I wonder where you are..."

When he said that and showed a bare gesture that casually looked around him, Refile turned to a grin that seemed mean.

"Oh? Doesn't Reggie care about Her Highness Titania?

"Huh? Yes, no, I'm also concerned about Tia!

"Hmm, I want you to not only care about that old lady princess, but also about me"

"No, um..."

It involves even Io Kuzami in the meanness of Refill. Speak up a little louder to somehow deviate from that uncomfortable topic,

"Sh, the same goes for the Mizumins, but will it be okay to stay in contact with them like this!?

"About that, it's okay. Me and Fermenia are here."

"Then Lord Reggie, over there"

That said, the place Fermenia pointed out was the gap between the near-field building and the building.

"Is that... alley?

"Reggie. There is no surveillance at the end of the alley. It's good to get in there once you break your gaze."

"I see."

I nodded that I was good at what Refile said and ran into the alley on a small run with them. In the meantime, two signs of coming after me behind my back. Perhaps Hadrias' surveillance, to spy on the trends of the brave, who thought they were what they were already (...).

While impressed by their lack of afterthought, Liliana turned around and cast a spell when she entered the alley, which at some point was creeping - eventually returning.

"This is it, all right,"

"Did you do something?

Asked Liliana, who makes the buoy sign and makes the doya face, gently turning back, Fermenia replied to that.

"It's a hidden sorcery. Now even if they find us on surveillance, they won't care about us. Lord Swimey did say it would be a roadside stone. Even if... I'm not too sure."

"Oh......"

Hearing her unravel reminds me of a certain famous animated secret item. If you wear it, it will be unrecognized by others. Honestly, it's a hell of a stealth weapon, and I think I've got a glimpse of the unusual side of witchcraft that can do something similar.

"All we have to do is look for the Mizuminos. I wonder where he is."

When I said that, I turned my heel back to get out of the alley, and Liliana...

"Nah."

and start imitating the cat's squeal. Nah, nah, that's like playing with a bunch of kids, sounding and imitating to find a cat. And it went on uninterrupted,

"Nah, nah, nah, nah"

"Oh, you know, Liliana?

"Nah, nah, nah"

"Huh? Huh...?

Trinity can't hide her confusion when Liliana suddenly says goodbye. I also know that she likes cats, but are you interested in playing in situations like this, or is it some sort of ritual? I don't know which one it is, but I asked Refile, who was next door.

"Uh, Mr. Refile. That's..."

"Isn't she cute?

Asking Liliana with a glance, Refill answers with a smile, his hands circled like an inviting cat. Yet it sees the childish appearance of the child, as if he is smiling.

Then, and Io Kuzami got on, too.

"Mm-hmm. That's cute. That's my apprentice. It's a good combination of adorability."

Yeah, yeah. Io Kuzami snorts and says satisfactorily. So is that really playing? Confusion still only deepens over what I don't think at all is Liliana, who has acted without, no, more around than that.

As he distorts his expression into a strange form, he smiles uncontrollably as Refile says the mild prank was a success.

"I'm kidding, Reggie. Probably decided to keep in touch with him."

"Is that it?

What the hell do you do by calling cats after you? I don't know the situation yet. But speaking of which, it is sometimes recalled that that there were many cats around the Eight Keys Mansion of the Empire.

In the meantime, a black cat appeared from the back of the alley.

Liliana stops ringing and imitating and approaches the black cat. That black cat, who also looks like a stray cat, turns her vertically cracked golden eyes still on Liliana, and Liliana also returns her gaze still on the cat.

And then, a few times again. Ah, nya. After we talked, she looked back,

"This way, they say."

"Nyah."

As if to match Liliana's words, the cat flips herself into the back of the alley and gently raises one forefoot. It is as if I were to give guidance. Fermenia and Refile also follow her as she walks out following such a cat.

I rushed after it and asked Liliana.

"Can you talk to a cat?

"It's closer to synchronizing thoughts than talking,"

Liliana is with you. say, Io Kuzami scissors his face,

"Rather than nuances, in this case, it's a good idea"

"... Um, is that what you're going to say, even if you're good?

Io Kuzami laughs delightfully when he points out to the Doya face of Kaishin. Strange, of course, from the usual Rui Tree, to an attitude I can't imagine from her when she was developing, either.

As we followed Liliana after the cat, we eventually reached the inn facing the boulevard.

The Inn has a large sign and a very noticeable appearance. There are a lot of people in and out, and when it comes to inns, it's such a popularity to be mentioned first.

"Uh... Could this be it?

"Looks like it."

"I can't believe you're lurking in such an easy place..."

I don't believe it. After all, the image of the lurking place is cheap accommodation. I may have seen too many spy movies and such novels, but it is there that reminds me the most, and 'the inn that seems to be famous, even if not lavish' as it is now in front of me seems the most legal.

"That's why there is."

"Because nobody thinks I'm here, or what?

"Yes, but it doesn't really matter."

Is that a tribute to Shuiming's strength? If you have magic that manipulates people, like wizards who often appear in novels and such, it certainly doesn't matter much. If you turn to the enemy, it won't be as terrible as this.

While Liliana is about to thank and stroke the cat, she asks earlier for the figure of the Mizumins and enters the inn. I didn't have to look for the room where they were, and I found that figure. The three of them gracefully had tea at a table set in the hall upstairs, in a place well visible from the entrance.

"Yes."

As I ascend the stairs and approach them, Shuiming, who holds this figure in her eyes, raises her hand at ease and calls upon me. Were you resting or even discussing it in your future plans? I was drinking rosewater with Titania and Hatsumi.

He replies while slightly seeping in the appearance that he had nothing to do with the word "hide".

Sounds more graceful than I thought.

"Well, it doesn't make sense that I should definitely follow you while you're lurking. If it's perfect to hide yourself, I don't care what you did."

"Can you tell me you're hiding it?

"Technically, you feel blended in. The point is, they don't have to know."

Did you refresh your sarcastic, bitter mouth by including a bite of rosewater with that said? The breath of a rose, Mizumi. Following him like that, Hatsumi turns an outward smile.

"Good luck. Looks like things are going well over there."

"Yeah. Dear Mr. Decaying Leaves, Good luck with the Amulet of Mizumi"

"Really."

"... me, I'm going to be serious all the time, why should they say that?"

To the first beauty of a smile, Mizumi turns a sinister face. A man who doesn't understand a joke as a joke. Meanwhile, Titania said it out harshly.

"Such things will depend on what you do every day. Your reputation is so corrupt to the ground that you can't get it back already, right?

"Hey, you still have it in your roots, you? That's when I took a leak."

"I didn't! Don't screw around on your own!

Make your face bright red, and Titania yells at Shui Ming. Shortly after, she told Trinity, "What Swimey said is a lie!" or "It's a ploy to discredit me!" and so on, "Teatania, who seemed so disturbed for Trinity, was fresh on the other hand - but Hatsumi, who had been watching it all along, sighed.

Trinity asks her in anticipation of Titania's sedation.

"So, Tia, what are we going to do?

"... I'm sorry I just got here, but the decision is tonight. I'll explain the details to you."

Titania opened her mouth to explain the operation.
