Chapter 189 Vampire Maiev
The temporary eting room of the Fritz estate.
“I finally feel relieved…”
Becky sighed with relief.
In front of the girl, there were many newspapers, all of which reported the normalization of the magic departnt.
The week-long gap was quickly redied in various ways.
“I’m glad you’re back. I was worried, you know.”
“That was unnecessary.”
“…It wasn’t unnecessary, okay?”
Becky puffed up her cheeks and grumbled.
“Next ti, at least tell before you disappear.”
“Is that really a necessary procedure?”
“It is for . A lot.”
I nodded vaguely and stopped talking. Becky seed satisfied and turned her head away.
“Fine. That’s done, and now it would be really nice if we could do sothing about Mythril.”
Hearing Becky’s muttering, I looked at the hardened Mythril fragnts.
This world seed to have not comrcialized the technology to lt Mythril, so I explained it by analyzing Mythril in particle units and so on.
“Hey, can you take a look at this?”
Trixie handed sothing.
“I tried various things with the hardened Mythril for a week. I summarized the research results.”
I started to skim through it quickly.
“I did my best. Even though I failed to lt it.”
The words were not false.
It was well summarized what kind of material Mythril was, and what changes it underwent when it hardened. I could feel the sincerity in it.
‘This ans that this level of access is possible.’
Considering Trixie’s ability, other magicians must have approached Mythril to this extent.
Then it was not difficult to think about where they got stuck, and what part to focus on teaching.
An idea ca to like a light bulb turning on.
“lting.”
lting Mythril like ice.
In fact, ‘restoration’ is a rather difficult concept. It is not much different from reversing the ti of a specific object.
But if I only focus on lting Mythril, and put aside things like casting liquid Mythril….
“It will take longer, but the difficulty itself will be lower.”
The procedure will be complicated, but the difficulty will be reduced.
Those who find Mythril difficult will be able to access it more easily than now.
“Huh? What takes longer? What’s easier?”
Trixie asked back.
“I will focus on lting, not restoring. I will divide the procedure and postpone what is not necessary.”
“lting? Is that possible?”
“That’s a very foolish question.”
In the world of magicians, asking about the possibility is quite foolish. I was confident enough to make it happen.
I didn’t unfold the paper or lift the writing utensil with telekinesis. Maybe I could do this work easily in my head.
Bang─!
Then the door opened with a loud noise.
Familiar faces from the magic departnt were standing there.
First, Professor Violet and Sephia, the chief editor of the editing departnt.
There was no greeting or anything like that. Perhaps because of the situation, Sephia went straight to the point without any comnt.
“Flan, what’s the plan from now on?”
It was a question that I liked.
He must have realized that there was no way to stop if I decided, and that nothing would work if he forced .
I answered calmly.
“First, I’m going to lt Mythril.”
“lt?”
“Yeah. That’s the best way to get rid of it quickly.”
This ti, Violet next to him opened his mouth.
“Flan, I’m glad you’re thinking about how to deal with Mythril. But there’s a problem.”
Violet continued with a worried tone.
“How long do you expect it to take? According to the schedule, the magic departnt has to clear everything within three days to ideally recover from the damage…”
“Three days.”
It was too far from my calculation.
“It doesn’t seem to take even a day.”
“Huh?”
Violet tilted his head.
I didn’t have ti to explain the situation in detail, so I gave instructions first.
“I’ll take care of the estate. I’d appreciate it if you all took care of the academy’s business.”
“Okay. Let’s go back if it distracts you.”
But Violet didn’t back away even though he said that. He cautiously reached out one hand.
“Instead… can I see the formula that lts rtil? I really want to check it out after I return to the academy.”
I quietly looked into her eyes.
I didn’t find it hard to understand her. After all, she was also a mage. If there was a technique that could lt rtil, she would want to see it right away.
“…”
But I had to shake my head even though I knew everything.
“That’s a bit difficult.”
“What?”
I told her the truth as it was.
“There is no record. ntal calculation is enough.”
◈
Maiev wandered aimlessly in the void.
She was glad and not glad to visit this place again after regaining her freedom.
It was because nothing had changed at all.
In the space for the officers, in the human world, it would be a very large mansion-like reception room, Maiev was sipping tea.
Soon, two officers appeared and sat nearby.
The masked vampire Dust and the girl Vampire Lillie.
Neither of them had a bright expression. But it wasn’t dark either.
If I had to read the energy on their faces, it seed close to doubt.
Maiev tried not to contact them, but Lillie opened her mouth as if she knew.
“Hey. Maiev.”
“…”
Maiev just looked back at Lillie without saying a word. Lillie spoke in a rough tone.
“You’re back? This ti with both arms intact.”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm.”
The greeting was awkward because they weren’t on good terms.
Lillie was in a state of deep concern in the first place.
“Maiev, you know, right? Dust and I went to Reheln Hill this ti.”
“I know.”
He couldn’t not know. But even so, Maiev pretended not to know.
“So, Maiev, I have sothing I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
It would be another trivial question or a quarrel. Maiev thought so.
“Do you know Flan?”
“Huh? I don’t not know.”
He was flustered inwardly, but he adjusted his expression not to change.
Maiev asked calmly.
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“Well, he’s a human who doesn’t make sense logically.”
“Ah.”
Maiev was relieved.
Fortunately, Lillie didn’t dig into the part she was worried about.
Well, Plan was a person who couldn’t be understood normally.
“Lillie.”
Then Dust called Lillie.
“So why did Flan save us? I think I’ll be frustrated for the rest of my life if I don’t know this.”
“…?”
Maiev’s face was slightly stunned as he listened from the side.
He thought the two vampires had returned on their own. But there was such a background… He was not surprised by Flan’s ability, but he was curious why he saved them.
Lillie scratched her head as if she was annoyed.
“How would I know? I really don’t know at all.”
“There must be a reason…”
“There must be a reason. But, thanks to that, we have one sure benefit.”
Lillie’s eyes sparkled.
“If one of us died later, the princess would have replaced all the officers. But thanks to surviving like this… we avoided that.”
Replacent.
The princess wiped out all the officers and made new ones. Even the arrogant officers always shivered at the word replacent.
“But I want to know.”
Dust put on a serious expression and put on his mask.
“From Flan’s point of view, there is no benefit to letting us go, so what was he thinking…”
“I don’t know! I’ll kill him if I et him again. You just think that way for now. You don’t need anything else.”
Maiev just fiddled with the teacup in her hand.
‘Could it be…?’
Could it be the reason she thought?
◈
There was also Maiev’s residence in the void.
A fortress, a castle… It was not strange to say that in a splendid building, Maiev did her work.
This office was also his.
“…”
She suddenly looked at the amount of work piled up in the room. It was a month to look at roughly. Maybe she had to work all night for more than that to do it.
“Officer.”
Maiev muttered her position.
She had escaped from slavery and returned to the officer’s seat, but she felt like she had beco more of a slave.
“Slave.”
That’s what they called when I was with Flan, but I never really felt like one.
The only hard part was dealing with Flan himself.
Nothing else was too difficult.
But I soon shook my head and dismissed the thought.
I must have gone crazy from all the strange things I experienced in the human world. This was my fate, and I had a clear reason to do it.
“Sis.”
That reason called out to .
It was none other than my little sister, who had co to my office.
“Sis. Sissy.”
“…”
“Sis, sissy, sissy-boo.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Uh, I miss you.”
Her innocent voice made think for a mont.
The growth of vampires and humans was different.
Humans grew naturally as ti passed, but vampires only aged when they reached a certain level of dark magic.
As a result, my sister, Maibi, was still only six years old. She had a rare disease that prevented her life force from increasing.
I saved her from being discarded. Or rather, I postponed it, to be more accurate.
I traded information about the human world for her life.
I was the only vampire who could roam the human world so well, so it was a possible deal.
“What do you miss? Go to bed.”
“I’m alive because of you, sis.”
Maibi blinked her eyes and said.
“I’m sick, and you work hard to keep alive. That’s why I miss you, sis.”
“What are you sick of? Don’t talk nonsense…”
“I know everything. There’s nothing I don’t know.”
But then, my face hardened.
I felt an imnse aura in an instant.
When I ca to my senses, I saw the secretary standing in the corner of the office.
The secretary opened his mouth and a cold voice ca out.
“Maiev. The princess summons you.”
“…”
I nodded quietly.
As I followed the secretary, I felt my sister’s gaze from behind.
