Book 8: Prologue

Heres the chapter, enjoy~

Prologue

Tsukasa Houjou, the president of Ousei Academy, was working and looking over various docunts, when there was a knock at the door.

Co in.

Excuse .

The person who entered the room was Tsukasas secretary, who had several letters in her hands.

These are the letters that arrived today. Theres also a letter from Kasumi-sama.

Oh, thank you.

When Tsukasa looked away from the papers and took the letters, the secretary continued with a raised eyebrow.

And theres one more thing I want to tell you.

Hmm?

Over here.

Hmm! This is

The secretary handed him a sheet of paper with words from a newspaper cut and pasted on it. It was a threatening note to the Houjou family, telling them to prepare money if they didnt want to be in danger.

Again how many have you received today?

More than ten, I think

At first, I thought it was just a malicious prank, but its hard to overlook sothing like this. In addition, there have been so disturbing developnts overseas recently. The other day, the president of an overseas company was arrested for being connected to the underworld. Its also possible that so large organization may be backing the sender of this threatening letter Sorry, but can you call Kaori?

Very well.

The secretary left the room after receiving Tsukasas instructions, and shortly after, there was another knock on the door of the room.

When Tsukasa urged her to enter, Kaori ca in.

Excuse . I was told you wanted to see

I really didnt want to worry you too much, but I wanted to make sure that you were aware of this.

Hmm?

The truth is, weve been receiving threatening letters directed to our family lately. Not just once, but several tis

Thats

Kaoris eyes widened when she heard about the threatening letter for the first ti because Tsukasa had kept it a secret so as not to worry Kaori. No matter how wealthy the Houjou family was, she never thought that there would be soone who would send them a threatening note.

In addition to that, Kaori sensed from Tsukasas words that it was more than just a prank, which made her tighten up.

Um what did that threatening letter say?

Its demanding money. It says if we refuse, they will harm us Honestly, with the lack of information, its hard to predict who these people are or where they plan to target us.

No way So what should I do?

I think its best not to go out, but thats difficult too. For now, I think Ill give you a few more bodyguards to protect you and see how it goes. But even so, be very careful when you go out.

I understand.

Kaori nodded with a serious expression to Tsukasas words while rembering the [Ring of Crisis Avoidance] that Yuuya had given her. If she has it, she will be able to use magic to move to a safe zone that she has set up in advance the mont she feels she is in danger.

Of course, if the power of this ring were to be activated in public, it would cause a huge commotion on Earth, where magic did not exist, but still, it does not compare to a life threat.

The best thing would be for nothing to happen though.

Tsukasa let out a sigh, then softened his tone and opened his mouth again.

Oh, by the way, there was a letter from Kasumi.

Eh? A letter from Kasumi? So that ans

Yeah. Shell be back during this sumr vacation.

I see!

Kaoris eyes sparkled at the cheerful news, which was a complete change from the discussion earlier. Kasumi was the younger sister of Kaori and lived abroad with her mother, so she never had a chance to see her except during long vacations.

Now that we know that Kasumi is coming back, is it going to be difficult for mother?

Yes, I think so. I read in her letter your mother wont be able to co back during this sumr vacation.

Is that so? But Im looking forward to Kasumis return! But Im also worried about her coming back alone

Yes. Im anxious about the possibility of involving Kasumi in this kind of situation but she wont listen to She doesnt want to give in to a threatening letter. Lets find out again who sent the threatening letter so that we can feel a little more secure.

Despite the unsettling atmosphere, the Houjou family was looking forward to their first family reunion in a long ti.

[Sky Mountain].

It was a harsh environnt where powerful monsters competed for survival, although it was not as bad as the [Great Devils Nest], which was designated as a super dangerous area.

However, unlike the [Great Devils Nest], the [Sky Mountain] was ho to a wide variety of dicinal herbs, many of which could only be found here. So of these herbs had the effect of giving a person a trendous amount of magic power or even regenerating a part of their body that they had lost.

That was why there was no end to the number of people who recklessly tried to find these herbs without regard for the danger.

In such a dangerous environnt, two shadows were moving at high speed through the forest, despite the poor foothold.

(Good gracious I never thought this day would co)

Thats right

The rabbit that bears two Holy titles, Kicking Saint and Ear Saint, muttered in a whisper. Iris, the Sword Saint, replied to these words with a hint of nervousness.

(The ending of the conflict with the Evil in our generation not in the hands of a Holy, but in the hands of another When I first t Yuuya, I thought he was just a person with potential, but you never know what will happen in life.)

Yeah

Next to Usagi who was talking sullenly, Iris was obviously focused on sothing else than Usagis story, and kept an eye on every corner of the forest as she moved.

(I believe there is an important ingredient in this forest that can be used to make a love potion, right? Moreover, it can only be found at this ti of year)

[T/n: Iris was talking inwardly.]

Yes, Iris was thinking about a love potion while Usagi was talking seriously.

Why does she think about such a thing? It was, of course, to use on Yuuya.

(Im looking forward to seeing how he grows from now on.)

(Yuuya-kun in order to get him, I cant choose my ans! The last ti I cooked sothing, it didnt win his heart but more importantly, because the Evil was destroyed, he didnt need to train anymore, and that was a good excuse for the massage They were so strong; how could they disappear so easily? Theyre the Evil, right? They ought to have been stronger!)

What a wave of unreasonable anger.

(Even so, this [Sky Mountain] hasnt changed wait, hey, Iris?)

(Well, okay. Thats what the love potion is for. As a last resort in case of ergency, it was worth doing all the research I had done in the past. Potions with side effects and or weak effects are out of the question. For this matter, it seems that the love potion made from the ingredients found in this forest is the ideal love potion!)

In this other world, there were many dicines called love potions. However, most of them were harmful to the human body or had questionable effects, so there was no ideal love potion in existence.

In such a situation, Iris knew that in this forest where she and Usagi were visiting this ti, a herb grows in clusters only once every three years and was used as an ingredient for a love potion that had no risk and maximum effect.

Therefore, when it was decided that she and Usagi would go around informing the other surviving Holy and their disciples that the Evil had been defeated, Iris strongly requested that they go to the report from the Magic Saint who lived around this forest.

Usagi, not knowing anything about the love potion, was skeptical at first, but since they were going to report it anyway, he didnt really mind. He also saw a few adventurers who were confident in their skills and looked for the sa herbs as Iris, which made Iris even more determined in her search.

(Ill find it, no matter what!)
