Because I've Been Reincarnated as the Piggy Duke, This Time I Will Say I Like You Chapter 31 - The mercenary is an enemy!? Or is she a friend?

Chapter 31: The rcenary is an enemy!? Or is she a friend?

I watch her long hair wave as I sll an especially sweet scent.

I wonder… Ah, that’s it.

This sll is the leaf of Barakiku. (バラキク it has a few anings because the author write it in katakana. バラ is a rose, キク is chrysanthemums, or it might be a whole new specin in this this story called barakiku)

I’m sure that Aruru-sensei’s cos from a place that makes perfu.

[Aruru-sensei? Why are you here?] (pig)

Aruru-sensei is actually not good at handling magic.

That’s why she is working as a researcher to study about the origin of magic in this academy, or so the ani said.

In reality she has an aptitude in using fire magic according to the six elent magic classification, but she has always failed in controlling her magic no matter how many tis she tried to cast it.

[Right now I am doing a new the for my research; I was currently examining the relation between spirits and commoners. Then I thought ‘Let’s watch when the commoners practicing magic in class directly’ that is why I’m here] (Aruru-sensei)

She smiled brightly at , and while she watched the commoner’s students struggling with their practice, she continues.

[Even though they are already a second year now they still take magic practice as their class, I’m honestly surprised] (Aruru-sensei)

Basically, a class will only be held with students of the sa year.

That is why this magic exercise is centered on the second year’s students.

But, it is quite surprising for that Aruru-sensei who is a noble to be interested on commoner students. This kind of act never showed up even on the ani.

[If we are talking about the relation between the commoners and the spirits, their chance to use magic is really low, to the point that so of the teachers here have said it was useless for them to join the magic exercise class. And I think even Aruru-sensei also think that, right?] (pig)

[Yes, I think so too… And I think there are a lot of teachers that think like that in this academy. But there are already so commoners that can even nicely control their magic, but if it’s those guys I believe they can use magic. That is why I want to think of a way for them so the possibility is not closed] (Aruru)

[It’s the sa for . My friend, even though he is a commoner, he could use earth magic] (pig)

[Aah, so you are talking about that first year student that uses earth magic. Umm, if I rember correctly his na is… Kubba?]

[It’s Deppa. How co it turns into such a brutal monster-like na, sensei?]

This is just my own thinking, but…

How co Aruru-sensei knew about the information about Kubba being just able to use magic?

It was only a few months since the beginning of the year, but in that anti there is a commoner student that can already use simple magic at his disposal. I believe it is true that he beca a hot topic among the commoners because he could use magic on his own, but I can’t believe those kind of talks even reached Aruru-sensei.

Ah, my bad, it’s Deppa.

…And then I saw Aruru-sensei.

When our eyes t she gave a smile.

That worry free smile of her really suits her as a wise magic teacher in this school.

You can even say that she is the very personification of a good grown lady.

[Buhi?]

But I notice sothing different.

As Aruru-sensei ca close to I noticed that the spirits around here beca sowhat displeased.

What I saw now was that there was a lot of spirits with different attributes surrounding her, and that is odd rembering what is sensei’s speciality.

It’s quite different than the Aruru-sensei I know.

[Aruru-sensei’s best magic is fire magic right?]

[Yes, you’re right. Isn’t that weird, because I believe I don’t have such a hot blooded character like that]

Even though Aruru-sensei was saying her best magic was fire attribute, but the spirits that were surrounding her mostly were spirits with water attribute. And there are also a lot of darkness spirits surrounding her.

It’s strange, even she said it herself that her best magic was fire attribute.

There is a possibility that she mistook her attribute when it was checked, but that is even weirder because she is one of the specialists in this academy.

Is that kind of thing normal here?

I motionlessly saw sensei.

Hmmm, the outer appearance and even the behavior are really perfectly fit of Aruru-sensei.

No matter how I see it, she looks just like sensei.

She is even looking at the students that are still trying to invoke their magic with Aruru-sensei’s usual kind look.

I really can’t believe it that the inside of this person is the rcenary I was looking for.

[You are right. Perhaps if I should say you are quite liked…———]

In the ani, it was said most of the rcenary have allied themselves with the southern empire.

If I think about the southern empire, I thought I can’t forgive those guys but…

[——–by the water spirit sensei]

Lately, I was thinking about sothing.

It is true that in the ani there a lot of enemies, but right now both Shuya and , we are still second year students in this academy. There is no line connecting us with the war that is about to happen, and while it is still on this stage shouldn’t I change the future in a big scale with everything I know while I buhi-buhiing?

For example for a certain rcenary that has been creeping inside this academy.

If it’s now she haven’t sold her soul to the southern empire.

[Water magic…? Why did Dening-san think that I like using water magic?]

The clash between the southern empire, the demon king, and the alliance of the four countries is an old story here, so I should change the future, just kidding~.

…

…yeah, let’s do it.

I am quite strong, and also I have that knowledge from the ani. Buhibuhi.

[How should I said this, the water spirit loves nice people, so a rare teacher like Aruru-sensei whom think it is worth to teach magic to the commoner students, to be liked by the water spirit is no surprise for ]

But there is a big possibility that Aruru-sensei’s true identity is actually a certain legendary rcenary.

Only after I see this person with my own eyes I can finally feel the possibility that this person is the one I’m searching for.

So it was like that–.

This one was quite a fraud I said. If soone only sees her outer appearance there is no way they can see through it.

Those people on the southern empire sure have so money on their pocket seeing they were able to hire such an expensive person.

[There is a possibility that the spirits will begin lending their power to them. If the commoners could use magic on their own, the future would change greatly. Even if there is only a truly small possibility for them, they will try to fight for it, and for myself right now I knew it quite well]

Sensei beca surprised after hearing that and looked at myself.

And while I can still sll the fragrance of barakiku, my eyes t with sensei’s eye.

[…I see.]

A sharp look like looking through inside , right now sensei is looking at like an adult with such an eye.

I rember seen that stare sowhere else.

That is an eye that looks for sothing.

It’s the sa eye I saw on the grownups which were seeking the cause of why did I turned into the piggy duke.

[Ara, pardon . It is because the researcher inside of wants to know more. If I may say why is Dening-sama supporting those commoners…]

[——Slow-sama-. I brought the sword with ——-]

Hmm? Aah, that was Vision’s voice I hear.

I can see him coming here from behind Aruru-sensei while holding a sword with him.

I wonder how he was able to get permission from Rokomoko-sensei, I need to ask him about it at the dorm.

[It seems your friend has returned. Well then, I will leave this place. Thank you for your interesting opinion, Dening-san]

And then she walked into the corner of the training field to the place where all those commoner students keep training their magic.

In her place, Vision is coming with sword in hand walking towards .

It seems he was in a hurry here that he didn’t realize that his bangs are sticking on his forehead.

[Are? Slow-sama? Why are you smiling by yourself?]

[Buhi!?]

Ha, Haa!? You are too noisy for soone who just arrived here! The rcenary is still there so don’t spouting strange things like that!

No, I’m wrong! It hasn’t been decided she is the rcenary! Nonono, there is the probability she is the phantasmagoric-san! You will expose !

She will make a move towards if she is found out!

[Buhii, buhii, buhii]

[Slow-sama. Is there any reason why you can’t hold your laugh now?]

I told you to shut up!

Aruru-sensei is looking at here with a curious face now!

The next ti you talk I won’t hesitate to blow you out with magic!!!

[Slow-sama, why are you laugh–]

[Ooh wind, whirl up and blow him away! Huricane!!]

[Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
