The next thing I knew, I found myself pulled into a quagmire.

I, Fabio Visconti, got caught up by my pupil.

I’m being made to work as a handyman in the name of advising on territory development.

 

In other words …… they put me in troublesome or difficult places.

 

But it was only after the battle with the tiger people was over that I learned the true meaning of being the advisor.

The young man who controlled the letter brought it to me.

 

“Professor Visconti, your letter.”

 

I took the letter quietly.

 

But …… that kiddo is so unfathomable.

As if he can see the whole picture, he is creating an administrative agency that no one has ever created before.

 

Speaking of unfathomable beings, there are the apostles.

I know what the apostles have said, done, and achieved so far from my apostolic studies.

 

 

It’s usually all about flashy achievements.

A child with great power that is innocently tinkering with the world.

I’m sure they’re thinking about the future.

But, a child’s thinking about the future is limited to assumptions that are almost always convenient.

They assume a reality that they don’t want to see, and they make firm assumptions.

There was none of that.

 

I’m also wondering if that kiddo’s knowledge …… is from an apostle.

But he wants to do more than be an apostle.

The kiddo, who is an apostle but not an apostle.

I was curious, so I decided to keep quiet and watch him.

 

I’m sure that kid doesn’t care what I think. 

He’s really treating me as a handyman.

I’ve never heard of anyone using magic for civil engineering work, except the apostles.

If an apostle did it, it would be over in an instant.

If we ordinary people do it, it will take time.

We would be forced to improve our procedures through trial and error.

In fact, I think that’s what they’re aiming for.

 

 

An apostle without the power of an apostle.

It’s really interesting, such a show is rare.

It makes ordinary people go through trial and error.

The kiddo says something outlandish, but in retrospect, it’s not that great.

We can do it too.

We just haven’t gotten there yet.

Once we see it, it’s possible to trace it.

 

But it wasn’t until I saw the letter that I was truly terrified of that kiddo.

The letter was from the church.

 

It asks for a report on the current status of the development site.

Why did they ask for a report?

What right does the church have to do that?

It’s because I’m a professor of apostolic studies, a church-approved advisor to the lord.

In other words, Ravenna itself is indirectly recognized by the church.

Independently.

 

 

If we are disconnected from the church, they will send people to visit us.

If we’re not careful, they might interfere or meddle in things we don’t need them for.

But I’m the advisor.

They only get information through me.

 

The Church is a huge bureaucratic organization.

I’ll do my best to avoid infringing on their authority.

If I don’t report anything too strange, they’ll just leave it at that.

And they’re expecting me to make a safe report.

 

After all, I don’t get along with the Church.

He knows that I’m working as a professor in order to feed myself.

There’s no way I’d want the Church’s help here.

 

Even if the Church sends someone later…

If the church is going to send people in later, it will be after the organization is almost complete.

 

What the kiddo is doing is out of the ordinary.

I’m sure he doesn’t want the church to interfere in the early stages.

He’ll pretend to be on our side.

It’s not the kind of idea a 16-year-old brat should have.

He’s not like the previous apostles.

I’m scared, but I’m also excited.

I’m sure he knows exactly what I’m thinking.

 

There’s something even creepier.

Even when people tease him, he doesn’t act uncomfortable, he basically does as he is told.

 

If you think about it, the kiddo is creepy and you don’t want to be around him.

I can’t decide if he is camouflaging it or if he really means it, but he seems to be indifferent to his own authority.

 

The apostles have been foolish enough to say that they don’t need authority, but…

In reality, they want to be respected by everyone.

They’re like a child who wanted attention.

 

It’s not so far off the mark to say he’s 160 years old.

If anything, he is the reincarnation of an angel who was punished by God for bringing fire to mankind.

He may be such an existence.
