42 - New Member (provisional)
Tiarerietta is hugging herself and wishing she could do something about this cold weather. I wanted to finish the story before I froze.
So, what do I have to do to survive?
"I do."
"Quick."
Charlotte's surprise at the White Mask made Tiarerietta smile without realizing it.
"I see, <
"Hmm. Does this have something to do with the
"Well, of course. Confidentiality, of course, and no prying into your identities for the time being.
"Unfortunately, I am not a person worthy of 'trust'. I am aware of that. But you can trust me."
Charlotte is puzzled, and Riza adds.
"It is dangerous to trust her as a human being. But she insists that if our interests are aligned, she will not betray us.
"That's right. There is no benefit to me in exposing the inner workings of your demon tribe. In fact, it would only be a disadvantage.
"Some demons have special attributes and therefore have magic that only they can handle. Riza, you may or may not be one of them, but you should definitely avoid the situation where you are captured. It would be a disaster if you were killed. Demons may be incompatible with humans, but I believe that we should let them live.
"...... Let's correct this now, because discrepancies in perception can lead to later feuds. I am a ruthless person. The reason why I think the demon tribe should be kept alive is because I want to study their unique magic. They have a strong connection with ancient magic.
There is little awareness of <
Therefore, the study of magic peculiar to the demon tribe was extremely difficult on the side of those who were hostile to them.
<<< Well,......,sorry,I don't understand it well. I think he is a good person in the sense that he is friendly to the oppressed demon tribe. >>
Tiarerietta felt that the White Mask had a very young way of thinking.
"I don't try to be friendly with others. I will put up a front if I have to, but I am not very good at it. When it comes to life and death, for example, if I find someone's corpse, whether it's a parent or a sibling or a stranger, I feel the same way about it <
"There's only so much information you can get from <
"Not exactly. Every living thing in the world is an object of study for me. Including myself.
Charlotte nods her head.
Riza adds again.
"Her way of thinking is similar to that of the demon tribe. We put our own interests first. That is why we do not hesitate to take the lives of others if necessary.
"I don't approve of killing, but I think it's generally true. And
"Sometimes we put our fellow man and our Lord first. That's what I am now. I'm not compatible with you.
"It's not that I don't understand. It's just that I don't."
Tiarerietta passes the cool-headed glare with aloofness.
Charlotte was still puzzling over the exchange between the two.
"I don't think you need to understand. You have a purity and innocence that is rare these days. That innocence is a necessary element for a researcher. It's the opposite of me, but yes, that's fine."
Being so pure, there are no limits to your curiosity.
A girl who seems to be in her early teens from what I can tell. A genius who has already surpassed herself, and if she continues to grow, she will become a person who will shake the world.
（I'm so mad. I'm a bit of a clunker as an educator, but I'd like to watch her grow up).
More than that, I strongly wished to be in a position to study with him.
"Well, I'm a rational thinker who puts only myself first, but I wonder if I'm good enough for you.
Charlotte shifted her gaze to Riza.
>
"......If you make any suspicious moves, we'll deal with it right away. I'm willing to do it under those conditions."
<<
"Ha-ha-ha, you're really cute. Riza, don't embarrass your friends, okay?
"Familiar."
"Well, the interests are not reversed. You can rest assured of that. After all..."
Tiareetta giggles as she shivers in the cold.
"You guys are connected to <
<
Oh," says Riza, her head in her hands.
Tiarerietta is also worried that <
"It's half a trick, but well, it's the communication magic that brought us to the point just before the confirmation.
Tiahrietta has read through all of Weiss Ohl's papers, but there is nothing on communication magic.
The magic that originally required a large scale magic formula could be realized in a simplified form. But why is it not mentioned at all?
Probably because there is no one (・・・・・・・) in "Weiss Ohl" who can use this magic (...).
"As far as I know, I can only think of one person who could pull off such a feat. But he doesn't seem to belong to Vice Owl.
Shiva is in a position to provide technology to them, but not so much as to be a <
Hence, I thought that they were only <
"What do you think?"
<
"I don't feel bad about the compliment, but it does raise a question. I don't feel bad about the compliment, but it does raise the question: what is your real purpose, as well as his?"
Charlotte pauses for a moment and then tells him.
Where do I start?
He's mumbling something.
"Oh, I see. ......"
I felt there was no point in going into this area.
"So, I'm not a member of the Round Table, but I'm a provisional member of Weiss Ohl, is that right?
"Oh, oh. That's what you have to do. ......"
At any rate, they have been recognized as friends, albeit temporarily.
"So, what do you guys expect from me? What kind of information do you need?"
Charlotte straightens her posture and tells him gravely (but without hiding her charm).
"Huh?"
<<
"Uh, ...... yeah, there is. I don't know about a backstage student council, but I heard that a strange religious group is active not only in the academy but also in the kingdom.
<
"No, but it's out of my interest, I've only heard the level of gossip about the teachers from Mr. Porcos, you know?"
<<
"Hmm, it's a real pain in the ass--or maybe it's the kind of work that ends up benefiting me. Let's do it. So, Riza, don't stare at me so much."
Tiareetta shivers as the temperature begins to drop again. It's almost freezing.
"Tia is fine. Well, first of all, about the religious group..."
Information sharing takes place in the midst of a chilly bottom.
Here's the whole story...
☆☆☆☆☆
Shiva and I were watching!
During class, the alarm from the monitoring wards that had been put in place to keep the members of the Round Table from running amok rang out loudly (in my ears only).
I was so surprised that I couldn't jump up and down, but I didn't expect it to be from Riza, who I thought would be the most unlikely to go out of control.
Well, if it had been Frey, Professor Tia would have been reduced to ashes by now. You are lucky to be alive.
But still....
"The backstage student council... ......"
He mumbles something so that no one can hear him.
I heard that there are some shady characters working in the academy, though it is not exactly true.
The teachers don't seem to have a clear picture of what's going on yet, but won't this be a troublesome story?
Anyway, I'll leave the gathering of information to Professor Tia and the others, and if anything happens, I'll take care of it behind the scenes. I'll keep an eye on Riza and the others.
But I don't know...
Shiva Watching over Shiva(me)...... which one of you is watching over Shiva(me)?
