Vol. 4 - Ch. 34 - visit

Till the time I managed to slip out from the banquet, the sky on the west of the mountainside was dyed dark red. It will soon be sunset.

Today is my weekly office day. Sagami Company seems to be working fine even with my absence lately. Hence, I'm lately focusing on the [Tower of deceit] all the time, confiding myself in it except when I have to give classes in magic knight academy.

With that so, my strength is also soaring considerably and that's the result 一一

――――――――――――――

The moment each status surpasses A, it ceases to rise anymore. And as I begin to step into the S rank realm, my pace is becoming more and more like a turtle.

In contrast, my magic power and MP has long since counter stopped. Also, agility remained at a fast growth rate.

I personally think this difference is most likely due to the difference in talent.

Eternal workshop has also finally liberated till 50%, but that's it. I can't go anymore than this no matter what I do. There should be other reasons for this.

Magic also finally developed to the ultimate just the other day. I still haven't experimented with it yet since it's quite difficult to use magic. Even so, in the present situation, that magic may be needed in the distant future. I should give it a try in a short time.

"To survive and to capture the tower, should I get powerful magic...... But isn't it more like the reversal of the purpose and result?"

[Honestly, I also want to lead a quiet life quickly...... ]

Mura, who was finally woke, expressed his feelings of full tragic heroism. I wonder if it's due to overusing him in that hell but his usual sleeping time has increased. For that, he has been continuously screaming in battle.

"Don't fret. We are off for today's exploration. Let's have dinner after completing one more errands

They should have returned back to their dormitory at this time. I put on the mask and transferred to a room in the first dormitory of magic knight academy.

"Look, isn't it Shirabe Sensei from basic magic class?"

"Ahh, really"

"Seriously, where is he, where is he?"

But I was soon surrounded by students.

I heard that Stella is also considerably famous in this academy. If I went to meet her without taking some precaution, it wouldn't be long before strange rumors started to float around.

But then, I will have a busy schedule from tomorrow again and wouldn't have enough time to talk with her slowly like today.

Just when I thought about transferring to Straheim as I looked at the surging crowds of students, someone suddenly grabbed the sleeve of my right arm and pulled me behind.

"Here!"

A twin tailed blonde hair young girl pulled my arm, galloped toward the stairs above and shoved me into a room. It was a feminine room that almost resembled my mother's. This must be her room.

"It's been a while, Grey. You have grown up surprisingly well in a short while I haven't seen you."

Putting her hands on her waist, Aria Bernstein expresses her impression that I have been hearing especially lately.

The professors of Noble lineage aristocratic faction are using heavy hands to keep me away from S class and so I haven't met with the S class at all since my classes are held in a second school building.

Furthermore, Aria can't use transfer either since she's not a title holder. Unable to move away from the academy town, Leith, she naturally isn't able to attend the upper echelon meeting of Sagami Company. I also haven't appeared in the meeting of the Leith branch and like Stella, I haven't met her properly for more than a year as far as it goes.

"Hmm, you have also rank up from that little prick"

Her trademark blond twin tail hair, like a tentacle, was still the same as before but her body was completely transformed into an adult form with a beautiful face.

"But I don't think this expression is something that can come from someone younger"

Well, that's right. Because I'm an old man from inside.

"So, what business do you have with me? I think Jude is much better than me if you come here to talk about the project of Leith's downtown association. For counseling services, Akuido is much better. If it's about a teenager's peculiar peach blossom talk, I can't understand it at all. But umm, I can be a kind elder sister and take care of someone"

Akuido is now a lecturer of S class and Jude should be attending the branch committee of Leith. They are well enough acquainted with her.

"You know. I helped you when you were in a dilemma. But even so, whenever I heard you speaking out elder sister's type line, I feel goosebumps all over my body"

"You're still an rude kid like usual"

"As I'm saying ―― you're the child here!!"

"I wouldn't say that"

"Dammit, talking with you always riles me up"

Looking at Aria who was trying to suppress her anger as her shoulders tremble,

"What about the class?"

I asked about the thing I was interested in for a while.

"Teachers' classes are amazing. We have received a quest from Sieg Sensei recently. It's really interesting"

Sieg's quest huh. Around one year ago, when Sieg come to find me in second school building and the title 『―――― 's colleague teacher』also appeared. At the same time as the title appeared, he also joined in the rank of Awakened.

And then he declares to me that he would resign from all other duties and devote himself solely to his teaching profession.

Several days after that, I was summoned by emperor Georg and cried out to me to somehow persuade him and change his mind but I politely refused. Sieg wasn't only a sage but also the head of imperial wizards. The situation in the empire was in turmoil over the position of head of the court mage.

In the end, it seems that a well known wizard from the aristocratic faction won the fierce power struggle and took the seat of the head of the imperial wizard squad.

It would certainly be a minus for the Country itself. But either way, it was Sieg's decision. And it's not for me to interfere in it. Besides, Sieg himself self proclaimed that the teacher of the Magic Knight's academy is his main job to start with. From his perspective, it was just returning to his main job. I think I should respect his will as a friend.

"Nice for you"

As soon as the title manifests and he becomes an Awakened, Sieg can also handle the title [Legendary teacher]. The children's education seems to be going well.

"So? What's the reason for Grey's visit?"

*That's一一"

"Well, I can guess without hearing though. Stella, right?"

Before I could speak, Aria, with her half closed eyes, speak the name I was still trying to let out.

"Y, yeah, that's right. Is Stella well?"

"That's it. She has currently gone out to do the quest together with Aqua and others"

"I see. I'm glad then"

It's fine as long as she's well. Seems like I missed her, let's come here another day.

Just when I about to turn on my heels,

"Hey Grey"

"Hmm?"

I looked over my shoulder and saw her staring at me with a grim face as if I had stepped into an enemy territory.

"Does Grey like Stella?"

"Of course I love her"

I immediately replied to Aria's question.

She's like a little sister, no, like a daughter whom I've been living with from a young age, I want to give her happiness. That's what I think from the bottom of my heart.

"I see...... "

Aria muttered to my response and didn't speak further with her face looking down.

"See you"

While having some doubts, I once again turned away and transitioned from Aria's room to Straheim.
