One Day I Beca a Burikko Villainess Noble Girl, . Honto tutorial .

Think of it as throwing money at the author and Alphapolis, and getting a book with squiggles and pretty pictures as a pleasant extra.

Catch that man whos making a racket.

At Achilles instruction, the magicians began to move. Aside from when it cos to his family and I, hes generally a keigo-using faker. Even in this situation hes going all-out with his faking. The Red magicians fired magic towards Galuf. Galuf agilely set up defensive magic, and avoided the magicians attack. As youd expect, being the J of Clovers hes needlessly high spec.

Aahh, geez, I knew he wasnt at school, but to think that Galuf would appear here.

Galuf Sharohm A character who appeared in the oto ga as the J of Clovers. In the ga, he was a delinquent student unsuited for the elite magic academy. Because of his familys business (they do stuff thats socially unacceptable), and because of his bad actions, people only looked on at him from a distance, but the heroine spoke to him without fear so he opened up to her, and eventually he reford because of her. In his friendship end, after they graduated, they ended up having chats in town, just the two of them. But this Galuf is similar to the way he was before the ga Galuf t the heroine. Hes Before-Galuf. And the thing he cast at us earlier, was probably forbidden magic.

For Galuf to be able to use forbidden arts Whats going on?

If you had to say it, he was a character more like Raiga who was bad at magic. Rather than magic, he was better at fighting using magic items. And moreover, his mana volu shouldnt have been that great. The number of boxes on him the magic items have decreased in number, so he might be obtaining magic power from thsoe boxes. And as for the condensed mana stuffed inside the boxes theres a good chance that its the Heroines magic. Enough magic power to cast magic on that many people at once cant be gathered that simply after all. Did Galuf intend on using forbidden magic to turn us into the pawns of the extremists, and then turn the tide of the battle?

If you consider Galufs family business, gathering those children wouldnt have been difficult either. Its unpleasant, but I think theyre children who were kidnapped and sold.

Ill be taking the lead, so be careful of forbidden magic!

My magic tattoos can protect from forbidden magic one more ti. On the other hand, the magic tattoos on the other magicians were used up in the earlier attack. We cant expose them to the risk of forbidden magic. If by chance they ended up falling under the power of a forbidden spell, itd be hard work to dispel it after all. I stepped out in front of the magicians. Suddenly, Galuf looked at .

Mn?

Youre, Camille Rhodolite, huh?

Why does Galuf know my na? Wondering about this, I stared at his face.

Well, cant be helped. As a sorry for losing the town, how bout I give you as a present?

Galuf took out a knife from his pocket. Its a magic item that can attack by weakening the power of things like magical shields.

Geh-

I dont really get why, but it seems that Galuf has as a target. The magicians seethed with killing bloodlust, and fired ice magic at him one after another, but Galuf disintegrating the spells with his knife. As I thought, it looks like hes the type who can show his battle prowess better with magic items, rather than magic. But, hes strong. Just a little unrest spread through the magicians.

Whats with this guy.

Isnt he strong enough that hes like a totally different guy, now?

While disintegrating the ice magic, Galuf held his hand towards the ground and a giant wall appeared. A thick and see-through wall separated from the other magicians. From the other side, my comrades were shouting sothing, but I couldnt hear.

With this, there are no nuisances left, huh?

With a smile, Galuf tried to cast a forbidden spell at again. Judging from the magic circle in the air, its a thought manipulation-type spell. I checked the tattoo on my arm. The number of scales decreased because of the magic from when we first entered the room, but Achille and I can still defend from one more. I cant let myself be controlled like a doll after all!

L-, Like Id let you turn into a huan bombbb!

Mn? What are you misunderstanding?

I should be asking you what you were thinking doing sothing like that to a child. You plan on doing that to too, right?

Aah. So you t that, huh? It had good luck to be saved by you lot, huh. But I have no plans on doing that to you, yanno? Relax.

It seems that Galuf doesnt feel any guilt at all. I quickly went through the steps to the forbidden spell in reverse, and rendered it ineffective.

Shitt, why the fuck did it disappear?

Galuf tried to use forbidden magic a few more tis, but I had them all disappear. As youd expect, Im getting tired though.

The number of magic items hanging from him was now zero. But my mana pool is getting close to dry. It feels like Ill run out of magic power if I counter one more forbidden spelll.

Not knowing when to give up, Galus left behind and tried to escape. Pushing his back to the wall, a hidden passage appeared. It seems that its a large-scale trick based on a magic item.

Ah-, wait!

I went after Galus. At the end of the hidden passage shone a magic circle that seed to be for teleportationg. Itll be bad if he gets on that! I have to catch him before he teleports

Using the remaining magic power I had, I tried to destroy the magic circle. I cant use anything too large scale, but if its just enough to destroy that magic circle, I think I can sohow manage. But I was too focused on the magic circle, and wasnt paying attention to my feet

-click-

Ah-?

-CRUNCH-

By the ti I noticed, it was too late.

Ow-, OWOW! What the heck is this!?

My right ankle was caught in sothing sothing tal like a bear trap. It was painful enough that tears ca out. Blood was running from my ankle. Looking carefully, there were bear-traps type things set up here and there on the ground. Theyre way too prepared!

Oh, lucky. Looks like I caught ya at just the right ti, huh?

Galuf tried to fire binding magic at . I went through the steps in reverse and nullified that magic, and while I was at it, I prepared an attack spell to fire at him. Bastard, using traps on , I wont forgive you! However, the magic that should have been activated didnt co out from my hand.

Nnn-?

I didnt nullify the magic in ti, and unable to move because of the binding spell, I fell to the ground. Uuu I hit my head.

Why?

That tal is a magic nullifying magic item for prisoners, yanno? Even if you try to use magic, its pointless yanno.

W-, What a thing to use Speaking of which, my automatic defence tattoos are nullified too B-, Bad. This is totally bad. In this situation, if he uses forbidden magic Im out!

Galuf approached with a smirk.

N-, No

Oh? Thats a nice expression, isnt it. That look that goes stay awayyy Lets have a closer look.

S-, Stay away, perverttt!

At the sa ti as my shout, a huge explosion happened. I reflexively shut my eyes.

After the smoke and dust thrown up into the air from the explosion settled, I looked around and found leaving the area around entirely unhard, the ground was deeply gouged out. The magic circle along that gouge was splendidly destroyed as well. It seems that Galuf was sent flying against the wall from the shock. Hes flattened against a corner.

That was magic wasnt it?

At so point, Galus binding spell had been undone. Since I could move now, I rose my body to check behind .

U- no good. It really does hurt too much to stand -wah-?

While I was on my knees, I was suddenly hugged from behind. Ummm?

Ah-, Achille?

Of course. Why is that what you asked? Does soone other than do this to you too?

Of course not.

I nervously apologised. It seems that Achilles mood had taken a nose dive. Moreover, its an ultra bad mood that Ive rarely seen in the last few years!

Show your foot?

Not caring about my response, he took a hold of my ankle.

It hurts, it hurts damn it!

Achille disintegrated the bear trap with magic. He looked painfully at my bloody leg. He looks kind of sorry for so reason. Even though theres no reason he had to make a face like that too Because in reality, the one thats hurting enough to cry is , after all. With a serious expression, Achille cast recover magic on my ankle. The wound rapidly healed.

Does it still hurt?

Mm~mn. Its fine. Its healed now Thanks.

Before I knew it, the other magicians were standing nearby. Did they all break through that wall together?

Please look after Camille for a little.

Entrusting , who was on the verge of mana exhaustion, and had moreover taken emotional damage from the bear-trap thing, to the other magicians, Achille headed towards Galuf.

Tsk Doing sothing damned pointless

Achille clicked his tongueeeeeeeeee!

Even though I would have liked to stop you from ever taking another breath, if this werent a job

After giving Galuf a cold and dreadful glance, Achille cast binding magic on him. It was layer upon layer of binding, and it looked like he couldnt even speak anymore. On top of that, he used magic to tear off a chain attached to the bear trap, and harshly bound Galufs arms with it. Its overkill.

Please arrest this piece of shit. Take him to the castle.

Achille?

The other magicians looked at Achille, dumbfounded. Its probably their first ti seeing Achilles true colours. Theyre dreadfully shaken. But even shaken, the fact that they still properly did their job is as expected of the magicians of the castle.

Camille

Achille caught when I stood up totteringly, and roughly kissed .

Nn-

Magic power flowed in from his mouth. It imdiately spread through my body, and I could stand like normal now.

Achi, lle m, oka-

I slowly parted from Achilles lips. If it continues like this, it feels like this ti I wont be able to stand for different reason.

Youre still not standing steadily. Isnt that because you havent had enough?

No, thats diff- Im good, Im good, I said-

Damned Achille Hes saying this even though he knows, isnt he? If its Achille who can perfectly allot magic power, he should know how much mana I need to stand properly.

Geez, Camille. Youre being reserved, arent you? I have plenty of mana left, so you really dont need to hold back, you know

Like I said, thats not- Im not being reser-, nn-

Aahh, I can feel tepid gazes from the other magicians.

Was Achille this kind of guys?

Nah but for so reason that way of speaking suits him too.

The two of them sure get along, huhh.

The magicians all gave their own one-sided opinions, and had their fun. Dammmit, dont just watch and stop him please, sobody.

In the end, my legs gave way, and I was stuck with being carried around by Achille.

tl: Achille speaks to basically everyone politely, but just now he went back to his normal tone and manner of speaking.
