146 CHAPTER XI -- I've been happy since morning.





 SIDE: Bell.
Good night.

Good night.
 A cute sleeping face.
 Maybe he was really tired, but he fell asleep so quickly that I couldn't help but smile to myself.
 I think I'd be turned away if Reo-sama saw me with this face.

 By the way, Reo-sama was unusually pampered today: .......
 I didn't expect Reo-sama to cuddle with her: .......
 I'm sure he must have gotten lonely because he's been playing dungeons by himself for a while now.
 I was a little embarrassed, but then Leo fell asleep right away so I wasn't as embarrassed as I thought I would be.
 It was more like a blessing to watch Leo-sama's face as he slept: .......

 And the fact that I can smell Leo's scent so close to me.
 Don't let lust drive you to sleep. I put my nose to Leo's body and sniffed and sniffed, hoping that...
 Ahhhh, it calms me down. Smelling Leo-sama's scent really calms me down.
 I want to keep smelling Leo-sama...... forever.


 ''The next day.''

Hmm. Huh?
 When I woke up, I saw Leo's smiling face in front of me.
 Was I dreaming? So I rubbed my eyes, and when I opened them again, it was still Leo.

Did I fall asleep in that ......?
 You know, I can't remember ever getting out of bed.

Yeah.

'Oh my God, I'm an idiot!'
 I'm already in trouble if they find out about this!

I don't think it's a big deal. I'm just happy to see Belle sleep in the morning.

'Master Leo may be good, but ...... or rather, why do you only get up early at times like this! You don't always wake up like that. ......
 I usually fall asleep no matter how many times I wake you up, so how can you get up this early in the morning today? .......

I'm sorry. You looked so pretty in your sleep.

Already .......
 If you said that in front of me: .......
 I crawled under the covers to hide my reddened face .

 SIDE: Leons.

 I've been feeling happy in the morning thanks to Belle, but also because I haven't slept well in a long time.

Good morning Frank!

Oh, good morning ......, you're feeling much better today.
 As I say that, Frank is full of energy in the morning, is he okay with me? They look at me like.
 Well, he's usually so much quieter.

Well, I slept pretty good.

Oh, I get it. Then I guess I won't have to worry about falling asleep in class today.

Yeah. I'm fine.
 I mean, I've only slept in class for the last week or so so so far!
 And with that exchange, we headed to class.


Good morning.
 I walked into the classroom and went to say good morning to Sherry and Leena as usual.

'Oh, Leo! Bell told me you were in a dungeon. You were in a dungeon. Why didn't you tell me?!

Because it was a last-minute decision. It was a last-minute decision, okay?
 The truth is, if I told you, you'd think I'd tell you to take me with you or something, but I couldn't say that, so I decided to use Frank to cover it up.

"Well, yeah, I guess so.
 At my swing, Frank nodded, understanding my intentions.
 After all, it's friends you should have.

"The charade is a waste of time. I know you've been preparing for a week.
 Well, seriously: ....... How do you know this.

Bell told me. How could we not be worried about Leo sleeping in class?

'Ta, sure: ......'
 If you think about it, you could have been questioned when you were asleep in class, couldn't you?
 Well, I guess Bell even explained to me about the war, so he was convinced, right?

So, tell me the story of your two dungeons.

'Okay, but it's a long story, so can we come back later? Oh, and the only thing I've trudged through is the mountain dungeon.
 I can't talk about the dungeon here with my classmates eavesdropping on me.

'Later? Well, I'll see you after school today.

'Hey, I was thinking of going to the territory today: ......

Okay. You can take us with you.


 Well, you will: ...... and

Yes. We want to see Miss Elsie and Lou, too.

"Wow, okay. ......

So what skills did you three get?

Yeah, do we have to do that here?
 You still haven't given up on me.

'It's good. Leo was unusually early to class today, so there's still time before class starts. Can you at least explain your skills to him?
 I'm up early and feeling like I'm missing out.

Wow, okay. ......
 d*mn it ......, how do you fudge my ability to do that?
 Me, think!

Well, first of all, we've got this skill called the magic eye.

The magic eye sounds like an amazing ability. And what can it do?

'Um, ....... Frank and Hermann, try focusing your magic on your eyes.

'Magic in my eyes? I understand.
 The two of them did as I told them, using magic manipulation to focus the magic into their eyes.

''How's that? Did you change anything?

It's just, I don't know what this ...... is, but it's something else. I get it. Magic is a visible ability.
 Apparently, Frank was able to grasp the identity of his magical eye while looking around.

"Oh, that's great. That's something to use. Did Herman see something? What's the matter with you? Are you okay?
 When I turned to look at Hermann, delighted by Frank's ability to ...... Hermann's hands on the desk, he was pale and looked very unwell.

It's a good idea to get away from the ...... hurry up and get away from there. Ba, it will explode ......
 As I got closer, Hermann looked at me unfocused and said something like that.
 Man, this is serious shit.

Hey, snap out of it. Just stop using your magic eye for once.
 I had to stop Frank from using his magic eye in a hurry.
 It's definitely because of the magic eye.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha.
 Hermann, who had stopped using his magic eye, was breathing painfully.

'What's the matter with you? What did you see?
 I asked Hellman a question, understanding that it was hard to talk about it because I couldn't deal with not knowing the cause of it.

I'm not sure ....... Suddenly, ...... my vision began to move at a tremendous speed. But I only knew the moment when ...... then the classroom exploded. Watching it, ...... I suddenly felt sick.

Okay, ...... and get some rest.
 Yeah, we got it all figured out.

What do you mean?

Maybe Hermann's ability to see the future is what gave him the ability to see the future. So I guess Hermann got drunk on that sudden change in vision.
 I guess it's also because of the sudden decrease in magic power.
 It seems that your seers use a lot of magic.

That's what ...... is all about! Does that mean the classroom is going to blow up sooner or later?

Maybe. . but I don't know how long in the future.
 Well, maybe it's just a misunderstanding of what's going on.

Heh. So, what do you see, Leo?
 Huh? Is this where we talk about my abilities?
 Aren't you a little more worried about the future?

Well, uh, ...... the ability to see things from great distances. From here, I can see all the way into the castle.
 Can this be deceptive: ......?

I see. I'll ask Bell for details later.

Yeah.

Wait a minute!
 Just don't ask Bell!
 I did that yesterday: .......

'What? Is that an ability you don't like to hear anything about?

What? Well, it's not possible! Hahaha.


 No, I'm fully capable of not being heard.

Well, that's not a problem.

And this one is ......, what's up with that, Frank?
 As I managed to stop Belle from hearing me, I noticed that Frank was left looking at a point .

''No, it looks like there's some kind of ...... magic buildup just over there . Plus, it's solidified into a square, and it looks obviously artificial.
 And as he said this, Frank pointed to the bottom of my chair.

What do you mean? So then, what's under the floor?
 There was something spooky about it, so I activated my magic eye and looked across the floor.
 There was a large bomb hidden there .......
 It's like a time-delayed bomb and the timer was set at five seconds.

Wow! Everybody look out!

 Boom!


 SIDE: Philibert.

Hey, what are we doing here? What's going on?
 I'm going to urge the man in charge of this project to take the consequences.
 If this doesn't work, there's no doubt in my mind that I'm going to hell...... and I'm so worried about that.
 That's why I haven't slept a wink since yesterday.
 I can't wait to hear the news of your success and sleep in a state of peace.

I haven't received any news of a success yet. But I have received word that the time bomb is set. And I also heard that Leons went to school on time.
 Focusing on my anxiety, the person in charge calmly repeated the explanation I had just heard.

Are you sure you're okay? Even he got the bomb to die, didn't he?
 I have to ask the same question as before.
 That man has never died no matter what he did in his life.
 You're gonna die from a bomb? 

"Yes, sir. Don't worry about it. After all, it's a magic bomb with a lot of ancient magic tools? If we get caught in that bomb, even the Demon King won't be able to hold back.

Yeah, you don't have to worry about that. Hey, you don't need that guy to kill you.
 Hahaha. You didn't have to be a dick to work for the guy all this time.
 You're right. I'm strong enough on my own.

Yes. As long as I have the Lord's power, I'm not afraid.

Okay, if this works, put the same, or more powerful, bomb in the castle.
 Kukku. The country's mine now.

Yes, sir.

Still, it was a good thing I pulled you out of there. Your father and uncle betrayed me, though.
 I didn't know that a man who had no money to study at the magic school was this capable.

That's thanks to the master's help. Also, the magical power source the master gave me worked very well.
 Ah, that man who was about to die.
 Well, it was worth it to bring him through a burglar's debt.

All right. Well, report back to me as soon as you know what happened.

I understand.

'Kukuku. I was in a hurry to plan it all in one night, but it works out better than I thought.
