Contrary to my head that was about to explode, I was silent outside.
“How far are you going? I don’t think you know the way.”
Eustave came after me. I answered back without turning my head.
“Anywhere.”
I really went into any room and closed the door before he came in.
“Vianne!”
Eustave shouted over the door. I walked and locked the door.
“Don’t open it.”
“You can’t do that!”
“I told you not to open it.”
“You’re crazy!”
I didn’t respond more.
I turned around and buried my face on both hands. I ran all the way here because I couldn’t do it in front of Idris.
I cried like a person who took on something that I couldn’t handle.
Even though Eustave got rid of all the blood, the smell of blood is still on my nose.
It was a false sense of smell originating from my previous experience.
If Michael hadn’t been snooping around us just in time, he would have died.
Healing magic can also be used only when conscious.
He almost lost consciousness because of me.
I kept thinking of the blood that was on me.
It was shocking.
The sight of him lying on the green lawn made me shocked.
I remembered the terrible disharmony between the clear weather and the red pool of blood.
It remained on my head.
Whether Idris is the villain in the novel or not, now I don’t want him to get hurt.
I hated dying so much but it was incomparable to it.
10 years ago. Two months ago. And today.
Idris was injured because of me.
It was the first time today that he was about to die in front of my eyes.
Idris would have been forced to endure the other two times alone in a place that was not reachable by me.
Nevertheless, he never expresses any emotions. It was like that every time.
If this continues, he will keep protecting me like that.
What should I do?
***
Eustave saw the signal in front of him.
It was a communication spell. It was from Idris.
“……She went into the room alone.”
Eustave had to explain the situation.
However, he didn’t know how far he should explain it.
A mage’s sense is sensitive.
Eustave could easily see that Vianne was crying in the room now.
Should he report this to the master too?
If he reported it, the master may run right here.
Then, Vianne won’t be happy.
[Did she tell you why?].
Idris asked him. But Eustave remained silent.
[Answer me.]
Eustav frowned.
“I don’t know either. Maybe she wants to have some time alone.”
He made a random guess. And Vianne’s condition was not reported to the end.
[…Stay nearby.]
“Yes.”
The communication magic was cut off.
Eustave breathed a sigh.
He could hear the crying clearly.
***
At that time.
Idris was with Michael and Camellia.
“Master, what’s wrong with her?”
Michael crossed his arms and asked.
“You said she was an ordinary person who didn’t know anything. How can she be an ordinary person?
“I intentionally hid it. There’s nothing good about knowing that Vianne is a mage.”
Idris didn’t want to tell him the details. It was better to say it like that.
“No, no. Not only that.”
But Michael also pointed out other parts.
“That lady was so brave. It’s been a while since I met someone who doesn’t get scared in front of me. I even saved you because of her words….”
Michael shook his head in frustration and continued.
“Normally, humans wouldn’t even have the capability to threaten me.”
“You’re bragging.”
Camellia looked at Michael with contempt. She hated the way people like Michael think.
“It’s the most thrilling when she looked at me with those eyes.”
Camellia sighed and ignored Michael.
“And master. Why did you even use ‘Seko Agonia’? You won’t be able to activate it anyway.”
Michael moved his target and talked to Idris.
“When did I say I couldn’t use it?”
Idris asked back coldly.
“Aha, okay. My cute master.”
Michael sarcastically spoke with his sly voice.
Then,
Crack, crack!
The entire table in one corner of the room was split. It’s clean enough as if someone used a saw.
Idris belatedly recited the starting word.
“Seko Agonia”.
It was the magic on the first page of the top magic spell list.
It was very tricky, and it was also a magic that was almost impossible to start without any help.
It was the magic that had been used by the mages who threatened Vianne.
“…….”
Michael saw a pile of sawdust with absurd eyes.
“Magic should be activated after you say the spell. But that was just decoration, right? Anyway, you’re so good at magic, master.”
“If you’re done, get out.”
“Both of you are fierce. But master, do you have any thoughts of teaching me magic later?”
Bang!
Another spell was shot at Michael. Michael covered himself with a shield.
“Wow, your temper.”
If he stay longer, he would be killed.
Michael laughed and left quickly.
After confirming that Michael was far enough, Idris covered his mouth with his hands and bowed his head.
“Master.”
Camellia used the healing magic one more time.
“You went too far.”
In return for the use of ‘Seko Agonis’, one of the three punishments will be randomly received.
The price of magic just now was inner wounds.
Idris neatly wiped away his blood.
“Michael deliberately does that to induce unreasonable behavior.”
“If I don’t respond to that, he’ll act more unreasonable.”
“That’s true…”
They knew Michael’s tendencies well.
Camellia too could not stop him.
“What are you going to do with Vianne?”
Camellia changed the subject without a choice.
“Vianne is not someone I can do anything about.”
Idris recalled Vianne’s frown. He became anxious.
He kept telling her not to stay on the mage’s island, but it was good to have Vianne by his side.
So when Vianne was like that, he was nervous.
“Is she angry?”
Idris asked quietly.
“Did you do something wrong?”
“That magic, I rushed in and got hit instead.”
“Why did you do that?”
“It’s just Vianne is weak. If she was hit, she could have stopped breathing.”
It was painful for him to see Vianne hurt somewhere.
Camellia shut her mouth for a while and opened it again.
“… I think Astahilt must have been very surprised.”
“I bet. Even if I try to calm her down, I can’t go because she refuses me.”
“From what I’ve seen a few times, she pretended to be strong but is a soft person. There are cases where rejection comes from fear. I think you’d better go after you give her a little time.”
“What is she afraid of?”
What in the world is Vianne afraid of?
“Why don’t you go and ask?”
Camellia carefully recommended.
Idris looked at the sun through the window.
“… I’m not confident.”
He was afraid of her answer.
Contrary to my head that was about to explode, I was silent outside.
“How far are you going? I don’t think you know the way.”
Eustave came after me. I answered back without turning my head.
