Chapter 31 Escape King
「Alfried!, show begin! 」
『Ooh! Alfried-sama said it!』
『Are you going to do sothing interesting again!?』
『Greatー! Here we goー!』
The villagers are excited by my words. Everyone’s face are slightly red, it seems that everyone is ready. Maybe suspicious with the n who raise their voice and tension uselessly, Celia-san and Carla-san ca out from the kitchen. scelusceleris.blogspot
「Alfried! show begin!」
Isn’t it fine to make noise. Today is a harvest festival. No one can stop us. Let’s vent out our daily accumulated unhappiness!
I have the villagers open up so space.
「I’ll take so soil first okay.」
『Soil? What? What is he doing?』
『Don’t know. He’s that kind of person.』
The villagers are talking in hubbub.
Imdiately, using soil around I use earth magic on it and make six block from the soil that will beco the base of a dice.
For now I’m making a box, there’s no problem if it can enclose on all side. So that it can show a nice appearance and toughness I should be able to make about two ters box. scelusceleris.blogspot
I manipulate the earth-block, then enter the restaurant as it is.
「Sorry for the long waitー」
『What’s that?』
『Earth Wall?』
『Did you make it with Earth magic?』
『No way. Even if I try my hardest I can only make two of them.』
The villagers look at the earth-block made with earth magic an start asking question. To stir their doubt and expectation even more, I freely move the earth-block and show it to them.
「Attention!」
Hearing my voice, the villagers quietened down.
Nice. I don’t dislike those who can switch their attitude quickly. The n of Coryatt village often do sothing stupid, but they change their attitude quickly. To take charge of the important position and the kitchen will give one favorable impression. When it’s ti to play then go play, then it’s ti to work then work. scelusceleris.blogspot
That’s good. When it’s ti to play, I just need to rest.
「From now on, I will show you magic (マジック/majikku). And now, I will make a box using this wall created with Earth magic.Then within ten seconds, I will escape from the box without using magic (maho)!」
『Magic? Not magic?』
『Anyway, you’re saying that you can escape from that box without breaking it?』
『Is such thing possible?』
While everyone is discussing about their doubts, like creating dice I make a big box by connecting the blocks.
『『Oooohh!』』
『The box is being made!』
「Well then everyone, I will enter this box. After I enter the box, please count from ten.」
Waving my hand to the villagers while entering the box, I close the side that is opened as the entrance.
The box connected with *pishiri* sound, no light enter the box, I can only hear the faint countdown of the villagers’ voice in this dark and narrow space.
I wonder if people with claustrophobia would be truly afraid of this.
『7……6……5』
I heard the villagers’ countdown.
Each ti the number decreases, their voice got louder, it seems to represent the villagers’ expectation.
『3……2……』
Whether or not I can answer those expectation, this is a real magic with no trick or artifice!
At the sa ti when I heard their shout, I move toward the kitchen in the back where there is no one with Space magic.
Then in accordance to the villagers’ countdown, I disconnect the box made of Earth magic and made them crumble.
『It’s broken!』
『Is Alfried-sama okay?』
『Don’t make my restaurant dirty with soil!』
The villagers look at the suddenly-crumbling box that is now a re soil.
There’s a commotion, and they approach the soil.
Roland and Westa are touching the soil while saying.
「There’s nothing.」
「Where is he?」
As everyone’s gazes are gathered to the soil, I calmly ca out of the kitchen, and for the performance sake I use fire magic montarily in front of .
The fla roar for awhile then disappear into thin air.
『Uoh! Behind us!』
『Behind?』
『Hmm?』
『It’s true! How did he escape from the box?』
The villagers notice , then one by one they raise voices of astonishnt. Then soone applaud, the astonishnt turn to admiration as it spreads.
「Thank you very much.」
To hide my embarrassnt from being happy, I bow politely.
Later the villagers ask to do it once more, and asking of 『how do you get out?』so I avoid the question by returning to the table with lna and Yurina. scelusceleris.blogspot
To disclose the simple trick is taboo you know.
Once I reveal the magic trick, then I won’t be able to surprise and gave the guest an impression again.
If you reveal the secret then they will go 『Hee, so it’s like that.』
Magic show is sothing like, perfectly deceiving the guest till the last minute so that the impression would be 『Amazing』 『How!?』such is born as a result.
I think what I did just now is not pure magic show, but it would be great if people enjoy it.
Calling to the perforr 『Do it again!』, while waving their hand and nodding
Sohow I feel that by just doing this I could earn enough pocket money. The sensational Escape King Alfried. How was that.
The villagers at the other table are excitedly discussing about my escape.
「How the heck did you do that?」
「I also can’t think about how you got out of the box.」
lna and Yurina crossed their arm while groaning.
「Here you go, fruit water. My treat.」
Celia-san put a glass of fruit water on the table with a *don*.
「Thanks Celia-san」
「I would be happy if you tell how you get out of the box of as thanks.」
「Hahaha,I won’t tell you that.」
「Ara, how unfortunate.」
Celia-san gave up faster than I thought. When I take a sip of the fruit water, as expected it’s sowhat lacking if it’s not cold. Unless you’re not magician who can use ice magic, then food, drink, every place is at the room temperature. scelusceleris.blogspot
Because I kinda want to drink cold drink in one gulp, I put so ice in the cup using ice magic.
「This is surprising. You can use ice magic?」
「Did you know, that there is soone called the Kingdom’s Ice Princess.」
「The Princess of Ice?」
Who is it? I feel like Rumba told the sa thing. Because that person is said to be called the Princess of Ice, is she a cold-blooded person that use ice magic?
A woman wearing fancy dress living in an icy castle. Slender and long legs visible from the long skirt. Shiny black hair with abundant and well-proportioned chest. Might be good. Ice Princess. I want to see her once.
「Mmm, that’s what’s been going around publicly anyway.」
With lna’s words, the beautiful imagination in my head collapses. Maybe she’s not very beautiful?
「Publicly an?」
「Since the Ice Princess is actually the Third Princess of Misfrit Kingdom, so it can’t be helped that the commoners gave her good nickna.」
「Then what’s she’s called privately ?」
「She’s called 『The Ice Doll』.」
lna frowns hearing Yurina’s words.
「Doesn’t look like a true doll actually…」
「Why the heck is that?」
「The『Ice Doll』, Third Princess Layla-sama (レイラ) was born with disabled leg. The Royal Family was disappointed at Layla-sama’s circumstance. So the Third Princess can’t walk, but as she grow up, apparently she can use ice magic, so her Royal Family and the people around her that initially gave her the cold shoulder beca warm and they tried to beco close to her. Seeing their undisguised and quick change in attitude, Layla-sama beca unable to trust even her family. She beca disgusted toward the creature called human.」 scelusceleris.blogspot
Well, so it’s a story about human nature completely laid bare.
「Anyway, Yurina-san aren’t you well-inford? Is this story famous enough to be widely known by commoners?」
「Aah, that’s because I’m not a commoners.」
「 too.」
「Huh? If what you are saying is the truth,then why are you in this sort of place?」
「There’s no need for you to change your manner suddenly. You can act like you used to.」
Looking at my state, as if seeing sothing funny, Yurina-san laugh.
「I am Earl lna and Yurina is a Viscount. I got along well with Nord. And I ca here today to see the present condition of Coryatt village. Didn’t you hear it from Nord? That there will be guest coming from outside.」
Listening to Earl lna’s last words, then I rember. Speaking of which, it’s feels like they said sothing like that. I was certain that it was absolutely not important, I casually paid no attention of it.
「Co to think of it, it feels like people were saying sothing along those lines.」
So that ans, because of the arrival of this people, Bartolo and the maids were busy since morning and going around in a hectic state.
I see. Alfried convinced.
「I heard that you did so interesting magic show, you are Nord’s son aren’t you.」
「Um…I an, yes… I’m the second son Alfried Slowlett」
「As one would expected from Nord and Elna-san’s son. A well-mannered child. I’m not that smart, but sohow I like your style you know?」
Earl lna leave the restaurant while laughing loudly.
「Now then, shall we go?」
「Where to?」
「Your mansion of course. My wife has already arrived, she will sulk if she had to wait too long.」
Such adorable wife. scelusceleris.blogspot
Yurina-san stood up shortly after he put as much as four silver coins on the table as paynt.
