What!　Gilgas is down?

Huh!

　Oops, I'm too upset to release my magic power or I need to calm down.

''So........so, is that story true?''

Yes, sir. The messenger has just confirmed it from the sky. Master Gilgas has vanished into ashes.

　Turned to ashes? Certainly when we die, we will be ashes. And within a few years, we will be resurrected in the temple here in Tempest.... I didn't think Gilgas was going to be hit. Even though he wasn't yet in his prime, his defense and attack strength were higher than any of us.

''And the one who defeated Gilgas was a saint?　Or was it the Pope?

　When I ask the question, the reporter shakes his head. What do you mean?　There was no one else in the country but the Pope, the most powerful man in the world.

The Pope was facing Master Gilgas's dragon, and the one who fought him was a boy.

　...no way.

"....wasn't that boy with silver hair?

"!　Do you know him?　That's right.

　I knew it. No wonder that boy would defeat Gilgas, even if he wasn't in his element. But why would he be in the Pope's country?　...to meet the saint. This looks like Goddess Astell has done something to you.

Lady Azell?

Oops, thanks for the update. You can come back.

Ha, excuse me!

　I think about this as I look at the soldier who is going out. I can't afford to be disturbed by him any longer. The others are still sleeping, though. I must do something about it.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　The Earl of Lanwalker

Phew, I've finally learned to do it. Dr. Merlin!　It's too difficult!

　I stare at my magic teacher, Dr. Merlin. Seeing me like that, Merlin-sensei gives me a bitter smile. Mu~!

'I'm sorry. It's a good idea to have a good time with them, because the more you teach them, the more they learn about magic. I've heard of Fee-chan's title of 'Magic King', but I've never seen it before, so I just can't help it.

　Dr. Merlin teasingly closes his left eye and winks at me. Dr. Merlin has taken off his hood in the mansion. I didn't know why he was hiding such a beautiful face in the first place, but apparently he is abused because of the different color of his eyes.

　I didn't think anything of it, so I told my beautiful eyes and Dr. Merlin and he hugged me as hard as he could.

　Since I left my brother, I have been taught magic every day for the past four years by Mr. Merlin and studying by my fathers. For some reason, I've been able to learn all the magic that he taught me. I remember telling my parents about this and they looked at me in amazement.

　But then I told my fathers that I was a genius!　I also have good memories of the praise I received.

　By the way, your fathers are very lovey-dovey. Even in front of the kids, they are very lovey-dovey. It's embarrassing for me to watch.

　When I remember the old days like that.

Fee-chan?

　And Dr. Merlin calls me. 'You were thinking too much.

'I've been thinking a lot.

Hmm, that's all for today.

　With that, Dr. Merlin walks out of the room. What should we do after this? Chloe is training to become your brother's personal maid, and your mother has to stay with Chrissia. She's only one year old, so it's not a problem.

　And your father is at work, so he can't bother you. ........Right!　Let's go to town!　Let's go meet everyone!

　When you decide, we act immediately!　I'm going to take the purse and shoulder pouch that my mother made for me and sling it over my shoulder. The first obstacle is the guards. Their job is to keep suspicious people inside, but one of their jobs is to keep me out of it.

　I asked the guards to let me out before, and I told your mother about it!　That's why I couldn't go out there alone.

　But I found it!　A secret passage through which one person can escape!

　I go to the planting fence, which is located a short distance from the gate. This hedge is planted along the wall that surrounds the house.

　And on the other side of this planting fence, there was a hole in the wall!　From the outside it is hard to see, and from the inside it is hard to see because it is hidden by the planting fence.

　I poke my head into the planting fence and continue on. And when I continue on...

I'm out!

　Now I can leave without the guards noticing. Hmmm, this is the first time I've used this place, but this sense of freedom is indescribable!　When you think about it.

"Don't worry your parents too much, Fee.

　And my best friend, Fasi, speaks to me. He is a spirit that is always with me.

'You won't even notice I'm not there. I can't take my eyes off of Chrysia, you know.

　My mothers are very loving to me. I know they care for me very much. But nowadays everyone is very busy and doesn't pay much attention to me.

　Your father goes to the army and neighboring territories, and your mother takes care of Chrysia. So these days, except for training with the teacher, I'm alone. No, I'm not alone because Fasi is there.

''Well, if it's good for you, that's fine.

　And as it is, Fasi is silent. Since no one but me can see her, she'll be suspicious if we're talking outside. Fasy knows that, so she doesn't talk to me outside too much.

　Okay!　Let's get back on track and get to the guys!　What shall we play with today!
