Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Episode XII: The Arms of Merchant Elsie

"Okay. Then I'll take care of what you asked for! It'll take some time, but I'll make it to show you."

When I finished explaining it, my master made me try to make a force kobu while saying that out loud.

"Thank you. Perhaps only the master can do it, so thank you."

A master would definitely make me what I asked for.

True, I'm glad my master is my master.

"The development of an underground city would also be fine. The Holland Chamber of Commerce has enormous connections and funding."

"Thank you"

"Oh, but you need someone to direct you in the field. Plus, this time a hell of a lot of money moves. If you fail something, the Chamber of Commerce is in big trouble...... That's how responsible it is to direct this. What to do...... yes! Wouldn't it be nice if Elsie gave you direct instructions at the crime scene?

"Hmm?"

Something... I thought Mr. Colt started talking by himself, and eventually he was in such a terrible play tone.

This, in summary, says, "Elsie, go to Leo's," right?

I don't care, do we need to do this so much deliberately?

"Oh, that's a good idea! This, starting today...... can't be done because the boulders are ready, so start working at Leo's tomorrow!

Wow, even my master...

"Huh? Am I at Leo's...?

"Nothing's wrong. Don't worry about the store if you leave it to Moran. Besides, if anything happens, I'll go help."

As always, Mr. Moran looks like a tough guy.

"Oh, thank you. So, but..."

"Go. If this works, the Holland Chamber of Commerce will be even bigger, won't it? It is the role of the Chairman to enlarge the Chamber of Commerce. Go on."

I'm saying something like that.

If they tell you this far, you're definitely gonna have to go.

"Yes..."

"I mean. Leo, start planning with Elsie tomorrow."

"Wow, I get it"

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

Nothing wrong......

"In the meantime, you won't be able to get Elsie ready suddenly, so pick him up tomorrow morning."

"Ri, got it. Mr. Elsie, will you be all right around noon tomorrow?

"Yes, I'm fine"

"Okay. Well, good luck tomorrow."

The Next Day

I visited Mr. Elsie's mansion at lunchtime, as promised.

Ringing the bell, Mr. Elsie, with a large package, immediately popped up.

"Thank you for waiting. Now, let's go."

Nico Elsie was very upset.

I was reluctant yesterday, but he's still happy.

"Yes, I'll hold the package."

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Fine."

I persuaded Mr. Elsie to shy away and received a large bag.

"Well, let's go"

With that said, I held Mr. Elsie's hand with the opposite hand in my bag and made the metastasis.

"Huh? What is this place?

Mr. Elsie, who thought he would be transferred inside the house, looked bewildered when he was suddenly transferred to a place with blue skies.

"This is the roof of a house outside the city, isn't it? I want Mr. Elsie to see that."

That's what I said, I pointed to my house.

"Is that it? Wow! That's a big castle. You may not even beat the castle of the Empire."

Sure, more than the castle of the Empire if you ask me...

"Well, that's with no comment. Uh... that's the house I live in right now."

"Huh? Leo, do you live there? It's a boulder..."

"Thank you. I wanted Mr. Elsie to take a look at the castle, and I moved it here once."

From inside, I don't know how awesome it is to live in a castle.

"Was it? Thanks to you, I saw good things."

"That was good. Shall we then move to the castle?"

"Yes."

I made sure Mr. Elsie snorted and I used the metastasis again.

I'm home.

"Welcome back. Is that better, Mr. Elsie?

As I moved into the house, Leena, who had just waited, asked me a question as she looked at Mr. Elsie.

"That's right. As I explained yesterday, he's the president of the Empire's best Holland Chamber of Commerce."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Elsie. Best regards,"

Introduced Mr. Elsie bowed politely toward the three of them.

"Here we go. I'm Liana Abelard. Call me Leena."

"Nice to meet you, Shelia Vector."

Leena grinned and Shelley greeted with a slight muscle.

…… Shelley, you were convinced yesterday that we were discussing this. "

……

Even when Leena noticed, Shelley remained unchanged and her expression remained stiff.

Yeah...... I knew we wouldn't get along soon......

"Uh... excuse me. Leo, can I just talk to you two, Mr. Bell and my four for a moment?

"Huh? Oh, yes. No problem."

Yeah? What are you doing?

Please, just stop fighting, okay? Well, Mr. Elsie wouldn't do that.

"Okay. Well, why don't we talk in my room?

"Yes. Oh, Leo, can I have your stuff?

Hmm? Luggage?

"Ah, yes. Go ahead."

Maybe there's some kind of secret inside.

That's not necessarily the secret to getting along...

I gave Mr. Elsie the package, feeling a little nervous.

"Thank you. I'll be done in a minute, please wait."

That's what I said. I dropped Mr. Elsie off to follow the Leenas.

Hope we get along a little bit and come home...

SIDE: Elsie

Since when did you like Leo......

Is it really since I taught you creative magic?

But I did when I asked Leo to tell me... I should have asked Leo for a favor, so did you already like it then?

Yeah... I don't really remember.

The reason I like it...... is that I can count on it anyway.

It's so solid that you don't even think you're five years younger than me, and it really doesn't make you feel any different about your age. Instead, I might feel younger.

Well...... for that matter, it's flawed in the balls to get your hands on a woman so much that you don't think she's a child.

Even when I was there, even though it was the first time we met, I went out of my way to use creative magic to cool flowers.

That's still unforgettable, and I've kept those flowers dear ever since.

I can't pay my debts and I'm a slave, and I guess I'm going to have a terrible life ahead of me... so if they do that to me where I'm anxious, anyone will like it.

Ah!! Me, I've loved Leo since then!

It was... from the beginning...

Besides, if we move on, I like Leo.

But Leo has two fiancées.

The Crown Princess of this country and the grandson of the Virgin...... very, I do not match.

Besides, I don't want to interfere with Leo's happiness.

Yes, that's what I told myself then to suppress.

But... if Leo suddenly stopped coming, that suppression wouldn't work either.

I miss you so much already...

I thought it was bad, but I couldn't stand it any longer, and I ordered my men to keep an eye on Leo and report back.

From then on, I escalated more and more.

I asked Mr. Holland to invent a magic apparatus that would clearly record Leo's appearance, let his men record a lot of how Leo was doing, and let him bring it to me.

Because you escalated for a good reason, right?

Leo, I was getting along well with someone other than my two fiancées.

That opponent is... an exclusive maid girl.

When my men gave me a piece of paper recording where I was sleeping with them... I smiled unexpectedly.

Aren't you angry? Or something like that?

Is that usually the case?

But you didn't, did you?

Because! That maid Belle is so cute I can't hate her.

Because I already wanted to love you with Leo.

Those ears and tails are against the rules! Thanks to you, there's a line of dolls in my doll collection other than Leo-kun.

Well, like that, I wonder if there's any jealousy or anything about the other girls...

You two fiancées should be punished the other way around because I like them at will later on.

But I want to be as close as possible to Leo-kun's lady, including Mr. Bell.

So I've packed a good souvenir for the three of us in a bag!

If you three love Leo, you'll love it!

"Again, nice to meet you. My name is Elsie. Regards,

When I was led to Mr. Leena's room, I immediately said so and bowed my head.

"Oh, keep your head up. You don't have to."

That said, it was Mr. Leena who grabbed my shoulder.

I've been looking into it for a long time and I knew...... Mr. Leena, you're really too kind.

I can't seem to get my head up on this guy for the rest of my life.

However, the other Mr. Shelley had his mushy face turned.

Jealousy has been investigated beforehand and you shouldn't be upset about this much.

Anyway, be aware of what you're planning.

"Thank you. That's right. I have something I want to give the three of you, okay?

"Huh? Is it something you want to give me?

"Yes. First, this is it"

With that said, I created your doll on the spot and handed it out to the three of us.

There was also the result of the practice, and now you don't have to look at Leo to reproduce it perfectly.

This time I created it, I could accidentally record it when I was defeating Goblin, when Leo-kun was waving his sword.

So far, this is my best work.

The three of us reacted...

"Ko, what's this? Leo?"

"Ugh, you're lying, aren't you? That's the way it is."

"You're the perfect Leo..."

I was very surprised at my perfect reproduction.

"Glad you like it."

"Still, you can really use creative magic"

"Yes, but I can only make dolls."

Like Leo, you can't create magical or cheating items.

"Still awesome. Leo said before that creative magic is magic that can make what you imagine. So it's very difficult to create fine things. And it's really amazing how you can reproduce this in detail without looking at anything."

Ku, I know more...... More than that, I didn't expect Mr. Shelley to compliment me.

Could this be a smooth slip out?

"Oh, thank you. Oh, or one more thing, I have a souvenir I'd like to give you."

With that said, I took three bundles of paper out of my bag and gave them to three of them each.

"Is this... Huh?

"It's a painting of me and Leo together. Plus, a lot."

"Is this a painting? One way or another, I feel close to the footage of that monitor that Leo created."

"Sure. And... this is all a very familiar scene."

"If you ask me, you are. Even what happened inside the school...... What does Bell's look like?

"Huh? Oh, yes. There were a lot of paintings of Leo and me at the Mansion. Yes, the hell, what way are you drawing it?

Mr. Bell, who was about to be peeked at by Mr. Leena, rushed to hide it and try to change the subject somehow.

That too, because there are a lot of special (...) records in there that you two wouldn't want to see.

Hehe. But I'm sure you'll like it.

"This is a magic device that records memories. Also, I'll give it to the three of you when I can record something nice."

"Oh, thank you"

"Oh, thanks......"

"Instead, would you get along with me?

I stared into Mr. Shelley's eyes with a smile.

"Ugh, yeah...... Fine. I told him you really liked Leo."

"Thank you!

Good...... Somehow, it's a success.

"Hehe. Shelly's grown up, too. It would have been harder to convince you before. Well, maybe Mr. Elsie was good at negotiating..."

"Right. Boulder, the best merchant in the empire."

"No, I'm a decoration, so it's no big deal"

Imperial One. Because I'm still no match for Mr Colt or Mr Moran.

"What are you talking about? I guess...... each of these pieces of paper depicts something that no one else wants to see, right? Besides, I can't get mad because it's not just something I don't want to be seen, it's something I'm a little embarrassed but happy to see for myself... that's the kind of operation, right?

Oh, have you noticed?

After all, I can't be alone yet.

"Huh? Was there such a thing in it?

In the meantime, I put it away with a smile.

"I knew he was the best merchant in the empire."

So this isn't the best merchant in the empire, is it?

"Right...... Even Bell looks like this..."

With Leena smiling bitterly, I turned my attention to Bell.

Mr. Bell was leaning down with his face bright red.

Yeah...... a little too much?

But forgive me. Because I, too, like Mr. Bell.
