Chapter - 38 (Dinner)
"Makina-san ?"
"I asked Mia to call me when you'd returned home."
Mia-san who standing diagonally from Makina-san's back lowered her head.
"I'm sorry for not telling you beforehand."
"My, it's not like this is your fault, Mia. after all, I'm the one who told you to be silent about it to surprise Kurohiko."
Makina-san then continue,
"Now then, please take a seat Kurohiko."
I then took a seat opposite to her place.
In front of my eye, there are meat with the bone steak and marinade fish dishes, dishes that will stimulate one's appetite are lined up before one's eyes.
"Since I know that you would come with an empty stomach, let's continue talking while eating... now thenー"
Next Makina-san shows an expression of appreciation.
"First, regarding unveiling the forbidden spell during the magic art lesson, thank you for your hard work."
"Regarding that, is it really alright ?"
After a short pause, Makina-san answered.
"There are few reasons as to why I wish to conceal the existence of a forbidden spell user, there are matters regarding your personal safety, and also I want to keep a hidden card to achieve my goal, thenー"
Makina-san then smiled that gives a sense of self-mockery.
"It would also make it easier for me to snatch away the other forbidden spell documents from its owners."
"The other forbidden spell..."
I do think that there were other forbidden spells since mine were the "ninth" forbidden spell.
.....................
At least there are another eight forbidden spells exist somewhere.
"There are four other forbidden spells which the whereabouts of it are known, by the way, this information is gathered yesterday and today, and there is no new information in particular."
Makina-san raises her hand above the table and put up four fingers.
"One is in the possession of the god of war country Luveruarugan."
<TLN : ok here, the "god of war" can also be read as "war hero", in these case, I don't know which one more appropriate... as for the country name, I leave it as is since I don't know how to make it sounds english-ish>
After said that, she closed her forefinger.
"Then Gyntarioz Empire possessed two."
She then closes her middle finger and third finger at the same time.
"Though I'm not quite sure that the empire has a control over one of them."
Then she closes down her little finger after saying,
"And then the remaining one, possessed by one of the three major organization at the country of the end."
After the Headmistress said those words, she put her hand on the table quietly.
"Even if I want to obtain them, well, everything is just trouble."
At the northeast of the continentー at the north of Lunezret kingdom, there is the god of war country, Luveruarugan,
And then a large country situated in the western part of the continent, occupying half of the continent, Gyuntarioz Empire.
Both nations are a country that appeared in the liberal art lesson.
Lastly, the country of the end huh...
"Besides, for example, if the forbidden spells user existence were not come to light, the empire and Luveruarugan will suspect me if they get information that I'm trying gathering the forbidden spell documents."
Even if she want to gather them behind the closed doors, as expected, since it was a foreign territory, the degree of difficulty is too high I guess,
Then Makina-san shrugs her shoulder.
"Above all, if we conceal the forbidden spell, and restrict it use, it will also restrict your performance for the sacred ruin exploration too... in the first place, we can't just explain it to them that you are using a 『unique incantation』 if you can't even use the magic power."
.....................
"Incidentally, regarding the sacred ruin..."
Her expression turns a little bit severe.
"It seems like you had gone there already ?"
Guh...
"... Yes"
"I thought surely you would go to Claris place immediately... I guess, that was my miscalculation."
I shrug my body in regret then answered.
"I'm planning to go to Claris-san place tomorrow."
Since conveying my feeling to Kyurie-san took the first priority after all...
Though I ought to reflect in various ways regarding my own action.
"I would like to ask you something... how about your tool and equipment ?"
Makina-san dropped her shoulder in amazement when I explained to her everything.
"Good grief... well, if you don't reflect on this, I guess, I'll have given you capital punishment."
"I will get capital punishment if I don't reflect !?"
"Indeed... as a man."
"As a man !?"
"You know... that kind of thing..."
<TLN : she meant it as castration here>
Makina-san answered with 『that kind of thing』 lightly and wash away my question, then she continues,
"You, it seems like you'd declined lady Cecil invitation to join her exploration group ?"
"You know it ?"
Makina-san put her hands on her forehead while sighed.
"... It is not about me knowing it or not, this story had spread within the academy you know ? honestly, it is to the point that the story of 『forbidden spell user exist』 vanished."
"I-Is that so ?"
"Getting an invitation from that Cecil Arclight is already a surprise, no one thought that to think there would be someone who declines it. rather than being surprising it, it's crazy."
Makina-san then raises her face.
Then she stares at me with half-opened eyes.
"I want to openly hear it from you, why did you decline it ?"
.............................
Let's say it clearly here.
"... There's someone whom I wish to partner up with."
"May I interrupt ?"
"Sure..."
"Why not ask Cecil-san to invite the person that you wish to pair up with to her group as well ?"
