S, sorry to keep you waiting.
No, no, we didnt wait even a little bit.
Seeing Luuty seated on the sofa with friendly smile on her face, Nefas and Seira responded with ambiguous smiles while standing at the rooms entrance.
Next to her, Sancreed, who was silent with a sullen face, was sitting there, and seeing that, Seiras eyes secretly sparkled.
She thought, I knew it, theres sothing going on between those two.
However, it was there that Luuty cleared her throat.
The sa goes for earlier, but I do think that sticking ones neck into another persons love circumstances is a bit questionable in character, you know?
Ugh.
After Seira groaned, Luuty put up her index finger.
To begin with. For Sensei, even if it were a hundred or two hundred lovers, I could make that many if I felt like it. Rather, I didnt have any since it would be troubling if it did turn out like that. Having a mistaken idea in that isHey, what is that, that face youre making.
I didnt say anything.
Although Sancreed objected to the sudden false accusation, he was shaken by Luuty and was unable to object any more than that.
No, you made a face that looked like you wanted to say sothing. Rather, you were going to say sothing.
Oi, shes your teacher, right? Please do sothing about her.
Sancreed sought help from Nefas and Seira with a fed up face.
However, neither Nefas nor Seira could do anything about her.
They knew that Luuty would occasionally show a childish side to her, but this was their first ti seeing go full throttle like this.
More importantly, the reason why I ca here today isOi, stop pulling on my hair.
I told you to stay quiet since I would explain it.
After disheveling Sancreeds hair, Luuty, acting as if the place was her own room, prompted Nefas and Seira to take the seats in front of her.
Well, have a seat and lets have a nice leisurely talk.
Haa.
Seira sat down on the sofa without reservation, and no longer having the willpower to make a retort, Nefas sat down next to her.
Nefas, you stay standing.
I refuse.
When Seira reseated herself so that she was away from Nefas, Luuty watched over them with a pleasant look on her face.
And then, she formally started talking.
And so, lets see. This man here is Sancreed. He is a person of the Zadark Kingdom which has ford a treaty of friendship with the Jiol Forest Kingdom.
Then that ans, hes a Mazoku, right?
Yes, that is right.
Luuty replied as if seeming to want to say what about it?.
Seira spoke out Iettas question from earlier.
Erm, about that. Even though hes a Mazoku, he fought against the Goblins who were also Mazoku, right? Um, the one who ca together with ah, my attendant said that she was wondering why that happened.
Receiving that question, Sancreed stared at Seira.
Seeing those eyes, Seira winced for an instant, but imdiately glared back as if to say like hell Ill lose.
Sancreed kept his gaze on her, but he showed a bit of disappointnt in his voice.
What a worthless question.
Eh?
If youre going to say that conflict doesnt break out just because the race is the sa, then mankinds territory wouldnt have turned into the sort of situation its in now. If I were to go even further with that, there shouldnt even be a need to there to be a town patrol. Am I wrong?
B, but. This and that are
Theyre the sa.
Interrupting Seiras words as she was about to say that they were different, Sancreed made an assertion.
If there is a need, even if its a friend, there will be tis where you need to cut them down. If its soone who youve never seen before, and moreover, if they beco an obstacle to your own objective, it becos even easier to cut them down. Am I wrong?
Th, thats wrong!
In this countryno, in this continent
Sancreed, without any rcy at all, threw out those words.
Ive heard that they give the death penalty to bandit groups without a single exception. Even those that were et with bad luck, resisted it, and turned the tables on it, they would also beco reward targets.
Thats right, that was not a story limited just to the four major nations.
In almost all of the nations that existed in the Shutaia Continent, acts of banditry are severely punished.
In particular, bandit gangs that attack things like rchant carriages and even take lives are maximum priority targets of annihilation, and if put into another way, they were treated the sa as monsters.
That is because the way of thinking where they wouldnt acknowledge those that would attack fellow mbers of mankind and make a living out of killing them as fellow mbers of mankind was the basis of it all.
Compared to that
Sancreed.
Luuty stopped Sancreed, who looked like he was going to continue even further.
I understand that her question was unpleasant, but could you please not bully her any more than that?
After confirming that Sancreed had fallen silent, Luuty turned to Seira and gently smiled.
Seira-san. This might be a bit hard to understand butThe Mazoku of this continent, to the Mazoku of the Zadark Kingdom, they seem to be being similar to what would be bandit gangs and enemy nation soldiers in mankinds terms. That, is what he wanted to say.
Yes. I understand, that was quite the foolish question for to make. I am sorry, Sancreed-san.
After confirming that Seira had quietly nodded, Luuty poked Sancreeds head.
And you, what is wrong with you. It would have ended if you just said that you killed them since they were enemies. Was there really a need to make the story complicated?
But
Quiet. To begin with, you ca here to ask sothing to Seira-san, right? What are you doing trying to belligerently win an argunt? Since youre an adult too, you should have just lightly brushed it off. Are you an idiot? You must be an idiot.
Seeing Luuty tug on Sancreeds ear, Nefas covered his mouth, and Seira burst into laughter with a *pu*.
Dont just laugh, do sothing. Shes your teacher, right?
No, the one there certainly is our teacher butkuku, its impossible. I would like you to do sothing yourself.
Pukukuh, th, thats right. I, dont want to jump into that. Ahah.
Suddenly realizing things from the twos teasing words, Luuty once again cleared her throat and took her hand away from Sancreeds ear.
In, in any case. Erm, thats right. Why dont we move onto the main issue at hand.
Main issue, you say?
Fire Charge.
Seeing Seira ask that to Luuty in return, Sancreed suddenly threw those words out.
I heard that thats what you said. I wanted to ask about those words, or rather that technique.
That seems to be the case. In short, he has an interest in your spear techniques
Thats wrong. What I am interested in, is about the Fire Charge itself.
After Seira also went into a serious face from Sancreeds serious inquiry, she beca puzzled over how to answer for a while and fell silent.
If you say that they are just re words, I shall accept it as that. If you say that it is just a re Magic Spear, that is also fine. But, if you say it is sothing different from those
In that case, what would you do?
Sancreed answered Seiras question without any hesitation.
I wont tell you to teach it to . I want you to show it to . But, if you say that you cant do that, then I dont mind that either.
Then, Sancreed-san, what is it that you seek from ?
An answer.
From the start, he had no intention of telling her to teach him in a kind, careful, and thorough way.
Sancreed only wanted an answer to the question that he himself harbored.
I thought that you would know the answer to the thing that I am currently seeking. So, could I have you answer my question?
What would you do if I said that I didnt want to?
Sancreed fell silent for only a bit, but he focus on Seira from the front and*fu*, laughed.
At that ti, it cant be helped. I will give up on hearing it from you.
Hearing that answer that he made much too easily, Seira made a face as if she were attacked in an unguarded mont for an instant.
Hanging her head just like that for a while as if thinking about sothing, Seira then raised her head, looked at Sancreed, and spoke.
I, am bad at explaining with words.
Is that so.
And while Im at it, I really hate honorifics and polite language.
In that case, you dont need to use them. I dont mind.
Watching attentively wondering what Seira would say next, Luuty and Nefas were surprised by the words Seira continued with.
And so, fight with . Since I feel like I could communicate an answer that you could agreee with like that.
Got it. Lets do that.
Wa, wait a second!
Seeing the two nod at each other in agreent and stand up, Luuty panicked and raised her voice.
Dont stop us, Sensei! This is sothing important after all!
Thats right. Besides, it certainly was boorish to try and have her speak of it with words. This is a scene where I should apologize.
Seeing the two grin at each other as they sympathized with each other on a strange part, Luuty shouted with a voice loud enough to shake the room.
Look, Im telling you to wait! Sit down for a bit!
Luuty slowly glared at Sancreed and Seira who were startled by the trembling atmosphere.
I told you to sit down. Did you not hear ?
N, no.
R, right. We heard you, Sensei.
After glaring at the two, who hurriedly sat down on the sofa, with eyes cold enough to freeze them, Luuty slowly spun out her words.
I dont want to believe this, but you arent thinking about exchanging blows with Magic Swords, are you? If that is the case, I also have my own idea.
With Luutys eyes completely set on her, as expected, even Seira was completely frightened.
Wh, what idea
Lets see. Sensei will also practice her magic.
P, practice you say.
Yes, more specifically, for the two silly fools that started exchanging blows with Magic Swords, I was thinking of first starting off with throwing Wyr-bang[1] Magic at them. Yes, I believe that is a good idea if I do say so myself. So, with that, I will ask againWhat were you thinking of doing?
Seeing Luuty who couldnt seem like anything but being completely serious, Seira felt a chill go down her spine.
If she were to receive Wyr-bang Magic, Seira most definitely flutter through the sky even higher than the roof of the Temple of Wind.
W, wait. You misheard us, Luuty.
Oya, Sancreed. What are you saying that I misheard?
Although she said it like that, Luutys eyes werent smiling at all.
Its thatShe didnt want to exchange blows with . She ant that she wanted to accompany her a bit.
Hearing Sancreeds poor excuse, Seira nodded several tis and silently backed him up.
Hou?
Look, theres the Goblins from the highway. You were worried about them too, right?
And so?
H, heres the thing. We are about to go out to crush the Goblin settlent now, and she will show the answer within actual combatsee.
Finally undoing the tension, Luuty lightly pressed on her own brow after making a small exhale.
Well, fine. Ill go along with that passoff of yours. At any rate, that is a matter that urgently needs to be dealt with promptly after all.
Confirming that the anger had vanished from Luuty, Seiras group pressed down on their chests in relief.
It seed that they had sohow escaped danger.
However, what are you saying that youll do? We cant do anything but figure out their general location, you know?
Nn? Ah, yeah. Thats not a problem. Theres soone most suitable for that after all.
