'Nonsense!'

　It was Ravench who shouted.
　He ran up to us.
　He was red to the back of his balding head.

　I turn my back on Sheila and face Ravench.

''Your [brainwashing] has been released, Ravench.

　It was surprisingly little.
　I was wary that they were setting up a trap, but that wasn't the case.
　They probably don't have the skills to disguise or trap with magic.

　If this was the case, I should have forced him to break the brainwashing when I met him.

''Lie to me!　There's no way you, [villager], could break my brainwashing skills!　Come on, come on... Sheila. Come to me.

　Ravench holds out his hand towards Sheila.

　Seeing the oddly excited man, my sister quietly hides behind my back.

'Mr. Ravench, you rescued me from the darkness. That's a fact.'

Oh...?　Oh!　Then--

'But you've tainted my memory!

W--!

'I cannot forgive you for destroying the beautiful memories of your brother and your father!

　He said it clearly.

　Ravench's face turned bright red.
　I'd like to call it an angry impulse, but there's already no hair on its head.

'Seven years!　I spent 7 years on you. With my magic and medication, you became strong both mentally and physically.......and as a [Mage (Wizard)]. Even in military school, you surpassed that 'strategist' and got the top position at the age of 11. Who do you think that's thanks to!

'No!　I don't want to!　That's just you taking advantage of me.

Huh? Kuh-oh!

　Ravench's exclamation rang out.
　Then the guards appeared around him.
　They point their spears at him.

　Ravench did not react.
　He did not rage or cry out.

''Marquis Ravench Shuha Rodnir, my lord. We received testimony from you a moment ago that is against the law. Brainwashing with magic and drugs is against the laws of the kingdom. I would like to hear your situation. Would you please accompany me?

　One of the guards steps forward.
　He grabs the arm of the researcher, who doesn't move slightly.

　Ravench shakes it off.
　With a sharp crack, a spear surrounds the bald-headed man.
　If he took one step, he would be skewered.

'This is the king's presence. "You are in the presence of the king and we don't want any bloodshed. Please, God willing...

'The king...?　Hahaha..... Come to think of it, that's right. There was a Johain here.

'This is rude!　You are a nobleman of the kingdom. You call His Majesty by your title and not by your title...!

　The guard shouted.

　Yaya Ravench looked up.
　He looked at the king sitting on his throne.
　His eyes were vacant.
　But the mouth under his eyes was smiling.

'I'm done anyway...'

What are you...?

Then, Yohain. At least I can take you with me on the road.

　Ravench held up his hand.
　He activated the magic.

　[Remote control]

　It is a spell to manipulate humans or beasts.
　It can't issue complex commands, but it can be controlled even when the target is far away.
　It was a magic that ranked high among [Scholars (Professors)].

''Confirm the suspect's resistance. Neutralize them!

　At the command, the guards pierced Ravench's shoulders and then his legs with their spears.
　With his hands hanging slack, he broke his knees and Ravench fell.
　But the smile did not disappear.
　Rather, it was filled with a sense of contentment.

　What's funny........

　What in the world did he manipulate?

　I looked around.
　Then I hear a voice that I wasn't expecting.

"My brother...

　It was Sheila.
　When I turned around, light was pouring out of my body.
　It's magic.
　It's increasing all the time.

Fufufufufu.....

　Ravench laughed.
　His shoulders and legs continued to bleed with throbbing blood.
　He still laughed like a madman.

''Did you think it was just brainwashing, [villager]? It's a shame. I have been feeding that daughter a magical gemstone filled with My magical power every day for seven years. The inside of the girl has already been invaded by my magical power. Do you know what this means?

..........

That girl is a bomb now. A huge magic bomb that I can control at will!　It wouldn't take much to make this whole area disappear.

　I tried to use [Magic Destruction] on Sheila.
　But on the verge, I realize that it won't make things better.
　Ravench laughed again.

''It's useless. 【Magic Destruction】 destroys the magic activation formula. It's impossible to stop the magic itself from running amok. It's too late to destroy the [Remote Control] activation now!''

You....

'Hahahahaha!　Get angry!　Fierce!　But your anger is insignificant. Compared to the hatred that fills this Galveer!

"The hatred that fills Galveer...?

'Well......... I have already lit the fuse. This will be the light of the oppressed!

　Ravench continued to laugh loudly.
　His voice was like a broken bell, echoing through the match hall.
　No matter what he asked, he didn't get a decent answer.
　Already, the man named Ravench's consciousness had flown away.

　Meanwhile, the hall was in an uproar.
　A big bomb.
　The whole area is obliterated.
　If we hear this much, what in the world is going to happen?
　There would be no one who could not understand.

　It's a big commotion from the top to the bottom.

[Cleric] deploy your magic!　[Warriors (Warrior)] will take their shields and protect their people from the explosion!

　King Amst stands up and orders.
　He is going to use magic to suppress the explosion.
　The knights of the kingdom jump into the match field.
　Using magic and deploying the [Glow-in-the-Dark Formation], the [Warrior (Warrior)] used [Muscle Amount Strengthening] and set up his shield.

　It's hard to call it the best.
　However, looking at the situation, that's the only way to deal with it.

　The magic power (Zooh) that Ravench poured in for 7 years.
　It wasn't so easy to suppress it easily.

''Brother........

　Sheila is in tears.

'It was nice to see you one last time. I have nothing to regret.'

Sheila...

Sheila's fine. Just get... Just get as far away from here as you can.

You can't do that.

My brother!

　I hug my sister, glowing red.
　Sheila pushed at my chest, trying to get away from me.
　But I hugged my sister even tighter.

"I've met my sister. It's a shame to say goodbye so soon.

But...

'We haven't been able to be together for eight years. It's not hard to understand why Sheila wouldn't believe it. But it's okay. I want you to believe me.


　Your brother's strength....


Huh?

　I knead my magic power.
　The vast amount of magical power shone as brightly as Sheila's.
　Its color is blue.
　The color like the clear sky swallowed Sheila's magic power as a counterpart.

　Then they melted together like a fellowship.

''Beautiful........''

　It was Sarasa who muttered.
　She didn't even retreat, but stared at her siblings on the game field with Cecil and Rowan.

　My companions weren't the only ones who squinted at the blinding light.
　The crowd that had been fussing over the event also stopped and gasped.
　King Amst also stood and stared at the light on the match field.
　His eyes and mouth remained open in surprise.

'Let's go, Sheila,'

　Drawing the magic to the maximum.
　Then I slam into Sheila.
　The blue light shines even brighter.
　It completely engulfed Sheila's magic power.
　The surroundings turned blue.

　The impact shakes Sheila's beautiful blonde hair.
　But that was the extent of the damage she suffered.

　Eventually, the light stopped.
　Sheila, who had closed her eyes, opened them thinly.

'Are you alive?'

　Sheila looked at her hands.
　The runaway of magical power that she couldn't help herself with was gone.
　A feeling of exhaustion surged through me.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　I can barely even stand up.

　It would be so.

　It's because in an instant, the magic power was extinguished.

　A magical power that could blow away the entire area.
　My brother drove it out of his own body in an instant.

''Silly......... No way.......... How to disarm it.........''

　Ravench's eyes widened in astonishment.
　The researcher, who had fallen and was still bleeding, moaned while being restrained by the guards.

''The [villager]!　What have you done?

Don't you get it?　I used my magic to erase the magic inside my sister with my own.

"What--!　How could that be?

'It's not difficult. It seems you tried to make a human bomb by letting your sister's magic power run amok........ If that's the case, then you can erase the magic power itself.

　Perhaps it was the Ravench's magic that leaked from Sheila's body.
　I blew them all away.
　Now my sister won't go out of control.

'So, bullshit!　You think I'm just going to magically wipe out their magic?　If there wasn't a difference in magic power output, it shouldn't be possible. Even if it's an ordinary person, that girl's magic power is one of the best in the kingdom. It could even rival a high-ranking adventurer!　That's for a [villager]...

I don't need to think about the answers. The results are already in.

　My magical power output was far more than my sister's magical power output.

　That's all.

　The place was buzzing with that fact.
　Everyone opened their mouths.

''More than the magic power of the top-ranked military school...''
The villagers' magic is greater.
Oh my god...
Haha..... Are we dreaming?
No, we're alive and well.
'[Villager].... No, I was rescued by Lacelle Singh Stark.



　The crowd cheered angrily.

　Soon the crowd was calling out my name.

　Lasell!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!　Lacelle!

　Oh come on.....
　What's going on here?

　I was just trying to help my sister.
　I didn't do anything special........

　Then someone put a hand on my head.
　I ruffled my hair until it was crumpled up as it was.
　I turned around and saw Rowan standing there.

'You did it!　Lacelle!

Hey!　Rowan, stop it!

"Lacelle.

　It was Sarasa who stood in front of me.
　There were tears in her eyes behind her glasses.
　She wiped them away and took my hand.

I'm glad you're alive. I'm glad you're alive.

Oh, well...

　I lightly stroked my bangs.
　Then, this time, Cecil spanked my ass.

'Look, look. Don't just stand there, respond to them.

"-tsh!　You.

　I look up.
　I stared once at the audience.
　Many people were waving their hands and praising me.

　Me, the [villager]........

　Good grief.........
　It's not very much of a pattern, but........

　I lightly raise my hand.

　Then, the volume of cheers rose even higher.
　For a while, they were praising the hero of the country's salvation.
