Episode 44
It’s still too early for class to start.
The classroom is not even half full yet, but a girl with dark brown hair and stern facial features is studying with a serious expression.
As can be inferred from the fact that she wears a castle-shaped hairpin, a symbol of the Warden family, her name is Christa Warden.
The silence of the early morning didn’t seem to last long, when suddenly the classroom door opened and Lane Ludwig, the top cadet in the midterm exam, appeared.
“Oh, Christa. “What are you doing this morning?”
“Can you please stop talking to me? Since when were we friends? “Aren’t you and I enemies?”
I spoke calmly without even looking at my rival who appeared while yawning and was about to concentrate on my studies again when I felt something warm and turned my head to see something strange.
“Eh… … ?”
Feathers refreshingly wet with the light of the sun… … A crown that unfolds in the shape of a sunflower. Christa couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Sun parrot?!”
“Oh, I recognized it right away.”
Speaking of the sun parrot, it has been a creature that has become an ‘item’ in the vulgar language of female wizards since it appeared as Friede’s companion bird in the story of Archmage Rin.
Christa also tried to use the family’s wealth to acquire sun parrots, but gave up because there were no ones for sale anywhere on the continent.
But then he suddenly appeared with a sun parrot as a companion bird? Where on earth do you find such ridiculously envious stories?
‘I want to touch it…’ … .’
I want to see if I can imitate real people’s speech. I really want to hug you just once. But, ugh, but… … .
“Can you please stop talking to me?! Since when were we friends?! “Aren’t you and I enemies?!”
“Why is the line the same as before? “It got a little more intense, though.”
“Shut up! “Anyway, I told you not to talk to me!”
I thought I had managed to overcome the devil’s temptation with my iron will, but the ordeal began in earnest when everyone’s attention was focused on me.
“Wow, so cute!”
“Wow, you can all dance too?!”
“You really speak really well!”
This is because the cadets gathered around Lane and the sun parrot’s banquet began.
I miss you too.
I really want to see you… … If I turn my head here, it feels like I’m going to lose… … I can’t hold on, I can’t hold on… … .
‘No, Christa! You can’t give up! This is the decisive moment, so don’t fall for Lane’s tricks!’
Huh, huh, huh huh huh.
won
I carried out my will without turning my head. I overcame every desire! It was a time when I was about to be so happy.
“… … ?!”
Something with the warmth of the morning sunlight landed on my shoulder. What is this warmth like a mother’s touch… … .
“Oh, I see you liked Peach?”
pitch?
What else is pitch… … .
I turned my head and for a moment my heart almost stopped. Isn’t the sun parrot tilting its head right in front of her?!
“They like it when you gently touch them from the forehead area to the right coronal area. “Because it’s a part you can’t touch directly.”
Do not be ridiculous.
I think I’ll fall for that trick, I, Christa Warden, fall for that trick… … .
But contrary to what I thought, my body was honest. She had already reached out her hand and was carefully stroking his hair, as if she were possessed.
‘What is this feeling… … .’
This comfort is like caressing a blanket that has been perfectly dried in the sun… … My body is shaking so dizzyingly.
“Ah, but what should I do with this? “If you become enemies with me, you have to become enemies with Peach, right?”
When I opened my closed eyes in surprise, I saw my obnoxious rival laughing heartily. Christa’s face turned red as if it were about to explode.
“This, this, this isn’t it! “Don’t you know that a shrimp fight breaks out on a whale’s back, man?!”
“?”
I guess you meant to say that a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight, right? I really enjoyed Pifi’s charm. I guess I’ll leave the teasing at this point.
“You have an owl, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then do you know where to buy bird cages and other equipment?”
“Hmph, what do you make of this Christa Warden? “There is a route to purchasing everything from the best stores.”
Christa looked like she was going to answer Lane with an arrogant expression, but then she stroked Fifi’s head and her face turned into a fool’s face that seemed to melt.
“Wow, is this really true? Then take Peach out this weekend and buy me some equipment.”
I had no intention of taking Fifi to the black market. It’s probably a place where all the people in the country with a bizarre obsession for collecting gather, so there’s no need to make enemies.
“what? I? why?!”
“I’m too busy with the student council. And I have to ask someone I know well. Well, unless you want to be with Peach. “Why don’t you ask someone else?”
As soon as she tried to take Fifi away, Christa immediately jerked her shoulder and raised both hands defensively.
“?”
“for a moment! When does someone say they don’t like it? “I was just asking why I had to do that?”
“So you’ll do it?”
“Remember, Lane Ludwig. I’m not doing this for you. “It’s just because our family’s prestige is also damaged when the Madose family’s children use cheap equipment.”
“all! “I will only trust you.”
Gertrude Panton, who was sitting in front, covered her face with both hands and sighed heavily.
‘Why are you so reckless…? … .’
If you’re that thin, no matter how much you style yourself, you won’t look good… … .

As a huge creature landed in the front yard of Prince Ludwig’s mansion, Bellewin, dust flew radially across the Tulip Garden.

It was a griffin, a fantastic species with the fierce body of a lion and the wings of an eagle.
A man wearing winter clothing slid from the saddle on the griffin’s back to the ground.
Swan, the guardian knight who guarded the main gate of the mansion, approached the rider who was massaging his cold, hard thighs from the long flight.
“This is the castle of Prince Ludwig, the powerful ruler of Richland. What business have you come here for?”
The griffin rider pointed to the bag on his belt as if this was the answer. It was full of letters sealed with wax.
Griffin was used as humanity’s air force in wartime, but was often used for mail delivery during peacetime.
Of course, the price was so high that only those of high rank could use it… … The rider took a letter out of his bag and handed it to Swan.
“It came straight from
“At magic university?”
“The client was so enthusiastic that we flew non-stop until our wiru was exhausted. So, can I get some food? “I will pay the price.”
Food… … You will have to ask the head of the family about this. Thinking that, I was about to turn around when I heard a voice.
“Everyone who enters our territory is our guest. There is nothing to pay for. “Of course I should treat you well.”
Immediately Swann knelt down, and the guards holding spears followed suit.
Black hair identical to the black coat that deeply absorbs the sun’s rays with a noble appearance, and red eyes that shine beautifully beneath it.
The current head of the family was Kavan Ludwig. After that, the young girl Seri Ludwig and Bran Ludwig, who turned four this year, toddled out.
“Bran, that’s a griffin!”
“Ooh, ooh-ah!”
“What if Ludwig’s man is afraid of that! “Try to be more like Brother Lane!”
As his daughter and son cautiously approached Griffin, Kavan grinned.
“Can young children touch it?”
“of course. “The stomach is really gentle.”
While the rider was answering, Swann lowered his stance and presented a letter to Cavan. Kavan raised his eyebrows in pleasure when he saw the sender’s name written on the letter.
“It was sent by Elin. “Is this good news?”
The rider shrugged his shoulders in response.
“I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I can tell you that it’s news that’s causing an uproar in the Demon Lord.”

The secretary of the student council liked the word secretary, but no matter how I looked at it, I thought the title of miscellaneous would be more appropriate.
Paper, paper, paper.
Because I had to play with my hands and eyes non-stop while buried in an endless mountain of paper.
– Issues raised by students. All you have to do is select the good ones and put them on the agenda.
Senior choreographer Triwis gave some advice. He is a second-year student with a smaller body than Seri, gray hair, and inorganic eyes.
At first, she was so emotionless about everything that I thought she was a doll.
– Are there always this many agenda items?
– no. It’s because I got pushed back during the exam period. Because it’s before the holidays, it’s crowded.
– Is that why you rushed to pick up your replacement just to take care of it?
– That’s right. I got hit too. It’s customary.
– … … .
– Just hang on until the next chief becomes an executive.
He was a really difficult person to deal with.
With a soft sigh, Lane looked up at the clear spring sky.
“Ah… … It’s annoying, really.”
I was currently on the campus of
I sat down deeply, tilted my neck back, and looked at the sky, when a head suddenly popped out into my field of vision.
“What are you doing here?”
Logan.
Now the name is completely familiar. There was a volleyball in his hand, as if he was going to play magic volleyball.
“I came out to cool off for a while.”
“Isn’t it student council time?”
“It’s a minor chore anyway, so it’s no problem if I’m missing one. you?”
“Let’s go do club activities now.”
Hmm, I heard Magic Volleyball is a royal club… … Of course, Logan, a later exponent of the Eight Great Schools, was also included.
Christa also went to the magic volleyball club with Gertrude as soon as she finished school.
“Is that fun?”
Then Logan chuckled as if asking such strange questions.
“Is there anything about moving your body and sweating that isn’t fun?”
“I was wrong in asking you.”
As I smiled helplessly, I heard the sound of food duck wings flapping, and then a warm object landed on my forehead. I laughed out of joy.
“Pippy, did you sleep well?”
“I slept, I slept, I slept.”
Fifi twirled her head and showed off her feathers that brilliantly reflected the sunlight. Then Logan narrowed his frown.
“Phi Phi?”
Oops, you shouldn’t call me by that name. Logan was squinting his eyes and looking his skin up and down suspiciously.
I was about to make an excuse, saying it was Peach, not Fifi, but Logan whistled and his eyes lit up.
“That body that looks like its body fat percentage is less than 1%… … Even though it’s an animal, what kind of training is this?!”
Then he solemnly extended his hand as if to shake hands. Fifi held out one of her wings and accepted the handshake. Lane blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
‘The wizards of Chaihak… … .’
It’s simple enough to communicate with animals. I don’t think they even know it’s a sun parrot. Is this a friendship that blooms within muscles?
“Then I’ll go when it’s time. Confucius, you too must be strong.”
“Oh, have fun.”
I waved at Logan as he walked away, and then I weakly picked up the folders piled up next to the bench.
It’s really ridiculous, but I have to check all of this within today. These are agenda items that students bring to the student council… … There were a lot, but most of them were meaningless.
[I feel ashamed that the number of couples on campus has increased so much these days. Please ask the student council to stop it.]
What law prevents this?
Please tell me too. How to prevent solo self-destruction?
[Please tell me what type of girl the student council president likes.]
Hey, man.
Ask about that directly.
[What type of man does the student council president like?]
Who is this guy?
Still, there were some normal things occasionally. I didn’t know why I contacted the student council.
[Cleaning the campus seems too difficult.]
Is it okay to run a campaign to throw away trash in designated areas? But I don’t know why I care about this.
Most of the work would be done by butlers or maids hired by the Page family… … . At that time, the paper was pulled out of my grasp by an external force.
“I see a good agenda.”
When I turned around in surprise, I saw the student council president, Valencidis, looking at the document with his characteristic cynicism.
It’s still bloody magic.
Fifi, too, must have felt the magic, as if on guard, he moved from Lane’s head down to his shoulder and shrank.
“Are you here to check if I’m smoking?”
“no.”
“But what good is that? “It’s not a proposal for the cadets to solve, and the employees will be able to handle it on their own.”
“That’s it. “I’m here to correct that old-fashioned, aristocratic way of thinking.”
“?”
“It’s a matter for the employers anyway, so there’s no need for the cadets’ help… … “Then why on earth does magic exist?”
I hesitated for a moment.
Talking to this guy makes me feel like I’m a huge villain. As someone from Goa, I have never been caught up in an aristocratic mentality.
“So, let’s assign a cadet to help with magic every time we clean, something like this? “It’s so unrealistic.”
“that’s right. But you can at least think about it. “A magic that ordinary people who don’t know magic can use lightly when cleaning.”
that… … .
This is what Rista said to me.
“Of course, it’s true that that’s impossible with modern magic. “Mathematics and runes are extremely complicated.”
“… … .”
“But if it happens someday… … Don’t you think that the true golden age begins when ‘miracles’ are given equally to everyone?”
As Valencidis said that, an extremely pure smile appeared on his lips. Of course, it disappeared right away.
“Please forward this agenda to the ‘Local Development Magic Club.’ “Even if it is weak, it may produce meaningful results.”
Lane’s mind was confused as he watched Valencidis leave after returning the paper. She was truly an even more unknown person.
Who the hell is that guy?
What kind of picture are you drawing? What kind of wizard are you trying to become? And why did you turn to black magic?
‘I became more curious.’
About Tureina’s actions… … With the holidays starting in two days, I will definitely have to get that book from the black market.
