Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Episode Three: Long time no see.

It's been three months since the school I built started.

If I had worked for the master's invented shield and mass production of armor, time would have passed in no time.

Mass production of shields began, and the mass production system of armor is said to be ready in three months.

Do I need six months to remember the process? I thought something like that, but the magic factory employees were better and more helpful than I thought.

And the school that started last month is doing well so far.

Mr Camilla told me that they were all enthusiastic and very helpful.

Well, it's only been three months. If something were to go wrong, it would be a little further.

Safe, thank God they're all graduating.

"Leo! You're not ready yet? It's time to go now or I won't finish cleaning up my dorm by the end of the day!

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm leaving now!

That's right. My dorm life started again today.

It's been almost two years, but the school will finally be reopened from tomorrow's opening ceremony after the repair of the bombed school.

Little goes by, we're already in sixth grade, the highest grade.

By the way, the seniors seem to have become a breakthrough in taking the magic school on their own without going to school.

The seniors wouldn't have gotten a recommendation, and it would have been tough ~.

With that guess, I left the room.

"It's too late. Are you ready?

No, I don't have anything in particular to prepare for...

I couldn't possibly tell Shelley that I was upset when she waited for me to do that, and I duly misled her.

"Ugh, yeah. Are you two done?

"Yes, I kept it in here"

That said, Leena has shown me a bag of magic items that I can put a lot of things in.

This is the reward I gave you when I attacked the dungeon.

Other magical items, such as Wana Terrace II, are rewarded for each attack on the hierarchy.

By the way, my dungeons are currently coming up to the eighth floor for the Sherries and the fifth floor for the Knights.

Since my sister left, the pace seems to have dropped a little, and the knights are recovering a little bit.

Perhaps the knights will overtake the Shelleys while they go to school?

They keep increasing their strength every month, and I hope it's time for them to win.

"Leo?"

"Oops. So, do you want to go? Grab all three of them."

You shouldn't. I thought about it. I made Shelley and the others upset, but I don't think we should upset them any more.

I moved in a hurry.

"Come on. We're here. I'll see you in class tomorrow."

"What is it... is it because we lived together for over a year...? I kind of feel lonely just not seeing you till tomorrow."

Yeah. I was just feeling a little lonely myself, too.

I'm supposed to see you again tomorrow, but don't feel that long.

"Right...... Hey, when you're done cleaning up, why don't you go to Leo's room at night?

"Isn't that nice? Nobody's going to be mad at us. But maybe he's in Frank's room, so just tell him when you're done cleaning up."

Normally, it wouldn't be a good idea for a girl to be in a men's dorm, because my relationship with Shelley is famous, and nobody can be mad at Shelley, who's a princess in any way.

Well, with my metastasis, I can travel without finding it, so I'm not worried about anything.

"Okay. It's okay. Leena, hurry up and finish cleaning up!

"Yes! Leo, please wait!

Having regained a little energy, the two hurried to their room.

"Belle, shall we go to the room too?"

"Yes. I don't know, it's been a long time since we've been alone"

"Sure. Ever since you went to the Devil's Forest?

We didn't have time to be alone for another year.

Until the time of dorm life, we always lived alone.

"Right. Honestly, I missed you."

I know it's bad, but Shelly and Leena are the only two of us on the boulder...

Besides, Belle wasn't at home trying out a dungeon with the Shelleys.

"More than that, I was just wondering... Belle, you're still a maid of honor, aren't you?

Before this, when my mother got mad at me, I was wondering, what kind of treatment is Bell now?

"Yes, I'm still a maid."

"Can I ask why? Wasn't the maid supposed to quit?

"It's easy. Because if you're not an exclusive maid, you can't take care of Leo in the dorm. If I quit my maid, I'd lose my only privilege, wouldn't I? I'm not willing to give this role to anyone else."

Isn't that obvious? Don't look at me like that......

"I see... Well, I'd appreciate it if Bell didn't wake me up, too. So, you're quitting your maid of honor after your dorm life?

Bell is surprisingly true to his greed, isn't he?

The collection in Bell's room... Oops, it's more dangerous than that.

"Right. Even so, we'll continue to take care of Master Leo, won't we?

"Ugh, yeah. Forever, please."

I felt stunned and I rushed off the bell.

Speaking of which, my clothes are still... so no.

"Shh, forever..."

Apparently, Belle's not the other way around.

Don't be shy with those words while I keep saying it myself.

True, you're adorable.

"All right. Finish cleaning up and take your time."

"... but I'm just refilling my new clothes, especially since I haven't taken them out of this room."

It's been a long time since I've been back in my room and early, I was taking my clothes out of my backpack on my desk.

About a week's worth of clothes.

I can easily get to and from the castle, so you haven't brought that much luggage...

"I'll clean up my clothes. Lady Leo rest."

"Me too... no, you do. I'm sorry, but if I do it, it's gonna get in the way, and I'm begging you."

I don't know where the storage is or what the details are, so it would be quicker if I left this place to the bell I'm used to.

"Don't worry, it'll all be over soon."

Ping-pong!

"Oh? Who? I'm coming out. Belle would like some clothes."

"Okay. Please."

Who the hell is here?

"Oh, my God. Frank and Hellman."

When I opened the door, there was a line of familiar faces.

Speaking of which, Frank is in the next room, do you realize I'm back?

"Long time no see."

"It's been a long time!

"Frank hasn't been around for a long time. It's been a long time since Hellman's been here? You've been working on my territory for a long time, haven't you? So, you could really run and come to school?

Hellman, actually. Even though he could come to school in an instant if he moved with me, he said he was going to run for training and he jumped out of the castle a few days ago.

Absolutely, Stoick will have enough.

"Yes, we arrived at noon yesterday"

"It is. How was Frank?

Let go of Hellman, who has plenty of energy, and listen to Frank for the first time in a long time.

What was Frank doing during this long break?

"Fair enough..."

Sort of? You're not feeling that well?

"Is something wrong?

"Kind of..."

What's that cheerful reply... I don't know if you want me to talk to you about it.

"Okay. That's what we're gonna talk about here, and we're gonna talk in my room."

He's going to be seriously worried, and I'm going to have to talk to him here as my best friend.

I pulled Frank into the room.

"Is that okay? Master, you've just returned, haven't you?

"That's right. I just came to meet you and asked you to come to my room later."

Don't be shy anymore. We attacked the dungeon together, right?

"Nothing. It's okay. Because I don't do anything in particular, and I'm free. I was just about to go to Frank's, too. Look, I'm in. I'm in."

"Well, then..."

"Excuse me!

"So, what? Why isn't Frank well?

You were home this holiday, weren't you?

Something pissed off about my parents?

Oh, did you get mad at me for not going to a dangerous place with a dungeon?

Then you did something wrong...

"Hey. How do you feel about liking it?

...... hmm?

"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you, can you say it again?

"So how does it feel to like it?

Apparently... it's not my mistake.

"What's the sudden matter? Did someone, even someone you like, do it?

Finally spring is here for Frank too!?

"No... that's not what I mean"

Oh, my God. That's too bad.

I was wondering if I could see Frank the Cool Character in a rare way.

"So, what's going on?

"For the past few months... I've been back in the realm"

"It is. So, you went home and something happened?

After all, did your parents say anything to you?

"I... you know I'm the next winner, right?

"Yeah......"

Frank is my second son, but you couldn't be very dominant because of your brother's bad behavior.

"If you're the next winner, he says it's weird if you don't have about one fiancée anymore. My father told me."

Your fiancée...

"Heh. Really? Well, if you're the next winner, are you? My brother Alex was engaged to Fiona at about our age..."

That couple seems to have been friends since elementary school.

We can go all the way to each other when we're little.

Oh, it's the same because I'm still in elementary school. No, not when they say it's all the way.

"No, I don't think my father would be in a hurry until we have someone for him, too, in normal circumstances... I don't think Dad wants his brother to inherit it."

Get someone ready? No, more than that.

"A problem child so much that his parents don't like him...... is it that bad?

Isn't it usually because parents are sweet that stupid aristocratic sons?

If you're such a conceivable father, why did you leave him alone until he was a problem child?

Isn't it something you shouldn't have at the Duke's house that your oldest son in the house is a problem child?

"I've been banned from seeing each other for years now, so I don't know. Originally... I was a hater because of my bad behavior amongst the nobles. Still, it seemed like my father had forgiven me for being my eldest son at first. But when I was in elementary school, he did something that made my father very angry."

After all, were you spoiling it?

But Frank's brother did something over the top, and he said he couldn't take it personally...

"What did you do with something?

"Come on? I'm scared to ask. Even though the house is tingling because of which one of us is going to be in charge."

Huh? Is that the situation with the Boardrail family?

Even though it was our Lord's decision, do we still have them pushing our brother?

So Frank will have a hard time staying home......

"In that situation, you certainly can't ask. Okay. Well, I'll ask my brothers. You were close to Frank's brother, weren't you?

"Sure...... yeah. Probably the same age as Leo's oldest brother."

"Brother Ivan? All right. Brother Ivan's gonna have a lot of chances to see you. No."

Brother Ivan often comes to the realm at meetings for war or something, so why don't you ask him at the next meeting?

"Nice to meet you... Because I'm the only one at home who doesn't know what's going on..."

Something. Looking at Frank's serious face made me feel bad.

My brothers were kind, excellent and good.

"All right, for now, after you listen to Brother Ivan... hmm? Speaking of which, it was about your liking, wasn't it?

Speaking of which, how did you end up talking about Frank's brother?

"That's right. I went from talking about my fiancée to talking about Frank's house."

Hellman immediately dispelled my doubts.

"Yes. Yes, I did. How do you feel about liking... Hellman, answer me instead"

"Me!? How so? Master has a lot more experience..."

Don't talk about experience or anything.

"Nothing. Tell me about love all the way. See?"

I'm not all the way here.

"Hmm? Could... Hellman have an opponent...?

"Duh, why? Does my master know about my relationship with Alma?

"Oh, I knew it was"

From what Balth said, you thought it was suspicious.

Were you dating already after all?

"Sickled..."

"What Alma... became that knight of Leo?

"Yes, I remember you very well."

Frank just took a look at it during his entrance exam, didn't he?

"Bye. Anyone who sees that entrance exam will be impressed."

"Well, surely that's true, too. Well, Hellman, let me know more about what happened with Alma."

I need to know this information as an employer.

Never, like, intrigued or something, huh?

"Ugh... no big deal, huh?

"Never mind."

Don't be shy. Me and you, right?

Look, come on.

"I get it... You know you fought Alma every day, right?

"Yeah. That's a hell of a lot of draws, isn't it?

I don't know what number of draws I've had in the last two years or so.

"Yes. Well... after the battle... the two of us used to call it a reflection and talk for a long time. It was fun and... I was liking it when I realized it"

Huh? That's all? No, shouldn't I say that?

"Oh well... didn't you two get over the difficulties or something? Like, you know, trying out the dungeons I built alone."

You know, like Brother Ivan and Mr. Eunice, you like it in the suspension bridge effect, and there's about one episode of something, right?

"No. I grew up on a boulder, too, so I wouldn't do that reckless thing to try my master's dungeon alone, would I?

If you ask me, I am... After all, did I miss the difficulty setting?

"Oh yeah...... sorry"

Yeah, I thought there was something a little more dramatic.

I didn't expect to be interrupted by a dungeon I built.

"Oh, don't apologize! Oh, well! You wanted me and Alma to step through the dungeon alone, didn't you? I didn't even realize that..."

"Yes, no..."

That's not what I'm trying to say.

"Okay. As soon as I get home, I challenge Alma and the dungeon. It may take a while, but I'm sure we'll try to break through. Leave it to me!

"Ugh, yeah... I'll look forward to it"

Well, if you're going to try, something might happen to you, okay?

"I just want to hear more about Leo building the dungeon...... can you tell me a little more about Hellman than that? Oh, well... how did you communicate your favorite thoughts? Confess... you did, didn't you?

What is this beginner boy?

You, weren't you a little cooler character?

You're creeping me out on a boulder, asking me in bright red on my face.

"Uh... in the middle of the conversation... the teacher told me he had a lot of wives... and I was telling Alma all the episodes with his wives."

"Ma'am (...) Chi (...)... that was going to be a long story."

I'm not your wife yet, and I don't have to bother highlighting the 'guys'...... sure, it's going to be a long time.

"Yes. Well, that day was the first time I had finished practice for the Knights in a long time in the morning, so I could talk for a long time."

Truth is, you've been with me a long time.

Well, Balls tells me it's a snail.

"Really? So, what happened after all the excitement about Leo and his wife?

"Alma... I wish I could marry someone strong like my master too..."

"Oh, okay. So, you confessed in a hurry because you thought Leo would take it?

Huh? Me, they thought I'd do that?

Sure, there may be a lot of daughters-in-law... but you're not a dude enough to get your hands on people's women, are you?

"Now that I think about it, maybe I did..."

Huh? Seriously? I didn't trust you like that?

That's some shock......

"Also, of course. It's not like my master is terrible or anything. Because it is true that my master is stronger than me... I can't help being taken by my master."

If you want to say it's not terrible, don't tell me it's gonna be taken!

Something's damaged my heart so much.

"Oh, I don't think love has anything to do with physical strength or anything. Yeah."

Yes, I knew I had to compete over how much I liked that person.

"Is it? It helps."

Ho, are you really going to reference that?

Your eyes are full of hostility!

"So, listen to Alma, what happened to Herman?

"I... certainly won't be able to beat my master for the rest of my life no matter how hard I try. So...... I said this to Alma. Now, Alma and I have each other... but one day if I can beat you three times in a row, you'll marry me."

"Hugh ~ ~"

Kakaya!!! Boulder, my disciple!

"So, what did they reply to?

"I was surprised at first...... leave it for a little while and then try it if you can"

"What the hell is that...... too well dressed for a reply"

Totally, you two look great.

But three wins in a row...... well, I guess Hellman would let me try.

(Leo? Will you pick me up? Finished cleaning up.)

Hmm? Shelley.

(Are you done yet? Roger. Coming now)

"Sorry. We're both going to pick you up for a minute"

It was a good point because of it, but I had no choice because I promised.

I apologized to both of them and picked up Shelley and the others.
