First time in two weeks in the territorial capital. I had lunch, and there's still time after school. Maybe even a tailor should take a peek around.
Uh-huh, it's not like he's smart or anything because he's opening in the territorial capital. When I asked him if he could tailor his shirt in Caida Scotton, he said, "What's the kid talking about?" "Take your mother with you," "Come back when you grow up and save money," and so on. I honestly left the store without any particular objection. I wish I could honestly say I can't buy it.
Thoughtfully I went into the most upscale looking store as well.
"Welcome.
"Hello, I would like you to make four Caida Scotton shirts with this voucher. Is it possible?
"I see you're using a tailoring ticket.
"Materials are not brought in. This is what the design looks like. I would like to ask from the purchase. We have all the magic stones.
"It's an unusual design, but it would be possible. When it comes to wearing four clothes, I was wondering if you could look at them for a month and a half. However, if it's convenient to purchase, I'll take 300 pieces of gold for the top gold. Are you sure?
"Fine. Card payment, please.
"I did have it. Then we will take the size.
Shit. I forgot about that.
"Four is me and the other one, two at a time. I'll bring them next time, so I'm the only one for today.
"Was I? I would need another forty gold coins if I were to, but that's fine because it's a range of tailoring tickets. We look forward to seeing you again.
"I'm late for my application. I am Cars de Martin, the third and fifth of the Lords' District.
Normally nobles don't give addresses and don't use them. Because we all know it by name alone. But I said I bought a home two years ago, and I'm not dating a neighbor, and I'm not making a face for the gathering of noble relationships. You wouldn't exactly be considered an empty house, but you shouldn't even be actively trying to get involved because of the previous inhabitants. It can be very comfortable.
It's in that condition, so when I make a big purchase like this one, I can't get it delivered without saying my address and name. Most of all, I named him this time for credit. Having a tailoring ticket would be enough, but it could be just in case. I look forward to completing it.
Okay, wait for Alec in front of the school gate. It's going to be out in a dozen minutes, as usual. Some students seem to have paid attention to me, but were they even here at this previous party?
"Were you at the Count Damanev party two weeks ago? You were with Alex, weren't you?
A handsome blonde with several surroundings called out from among them.
"Yeah, I was there.
"I am Anaclair de Alexandre. It hits Alex's home muscle.
"It's Curse de Martin.
"So what are you going to do?
What are you talking about, this guy?
"What do you mean?
"I'm following Alex around at the junior aristocrat's minute and asking him what he's after.
"At some point when I thought I was in love, I just liked it, too. You can complain to yourself and your parents.
"You slap your big mouth to the point where you can use a little magic. That's the savage Kutanutsu. I hear the aftermath was great, but are you going to be strong to that extent?
Don't get involved. He's a pain in the ass. He sounds older, but he's not my brother, is he? Alexandre, did you say this is a family muscle? If you're not even your own sister, leave her alone.
"Come on? Doesn't it matter if you're strong or weak?
"Oh? Are you saying that the Kutanuts are not bound by strength? That surprised me. But you can't leave Alex to such a weak-hearted person.
I knew you weren't going to beat the man in this hand with your mouth. How can you round it up with your mouth?
"Then you should report that to yourself and your parents. Or do you want Alec?
Don't bother targeting relatives' girls. Well, if it's Alec's cuteness, I can't help it.
"No! I just can't allow my insides to associate with lower aristocracy as one gate to the same Alexandre. If you're a man, prove it with your strength!
Whoa, that's quick. A chance you don't even wish for.
"What shall we do? If it's not a duel, fine.
"Huh, you're still just a coward. I don't know what Alex would want with a kid like that. Follow me. Let me show you the strength of the magic school. Then it's not too late to run.
That's what I'm telling you. Isn't that what you're here for, to separate yourself from Alec? But it doesn't.
"Curse, you kept me waiting.
Alec also appears with a few surroundings. Some faces like the one I saw last time.
"Hey, that was surprisingly quick. I'm not waiting.
Because I used the magic of 'outgoing' to rush it. I usually just notify them of arrival, but I have a few variations in mind in case it's like this one.
"Brother Anaclail, it's been a long time. What's wrong with my curse?
"You, too, would know if you were to put yourself at the gates of Alexandre. It is not good to have such a junior aristocrat with you even for a temporary visit. Give me a break.
"That has nothing to do with my brother. No matter how close your brother is to the main house.
"I can't leave you to cowards like him in the first place. I'm just about to get you to prove your strength.
It's already confirmed! Well, I will. You're in trouble with each other. In my capacity, my brother seems to be better, but even Alec isn't that different. I guess the real deal is that you don't want me involved.
"Alec, why don't you all go home first? Because it's a bad idea to waste your after-school time like this. It's a waste of youth.
"Right. See you next week, guys. I might show my face for tomorrow's party.
Alec's neighbors are gone, but your brother doesn't seem to be. Instead, he said he was glad he was out of the way.
"Shall we go to the training ground then? Let's get you inside the magic school, I hope you're honored.
Is this the first time you've ever fought a wizard like this, if you think about it? I wish I could study.
It's a big garden inside. A human-shaped target on a circular target. Isn't there something interesting about it, such as a large, hard metal cube?
"Well, you see two circles over there? Stand in that circle and shoot magic alternately. You win by putting your opponent out of the circle.
"Fine. So, what do you bet?
"It's about never getting close to Alex again if you lose.
"You should stop with that condition. Because even ten pieces of white gold coins are not enough to match that. If I win, I demand 100 pieces of white gold, right? Can I pay?
"Don't be silly! You think you're gonna take down your bet if you say so!
"Then why don't you make it a different condition? You think I'll never come to the capital again, or take up the capital's house?
"You're the only master of mouth. Fine. I don't know what kind of flat it is, but it's forbidden to confiscate the house and enter the territorial capital.
"Then I can have a piece of white gold too. Who are you dealing with?
"Of course it's me. I will teach the prestigious aristocrats a soul that will be handed down with cotton. Per position.
"It's a promise before that. If I lose, I will confiscate my house without access to the territorial capital. I'll get a piece of white gold from you when I win. Is that good?
"Of course, wow... contract magic... you imitate the flavor. Don't make excuses for wasting your magic before the battle, okay?
Hmm. It's always a long way to go!
"Come on, let's give way. Shoot as hard as you can at best.
If we do everything we can, this school will disappear, okay?
I chant to this behold and make a water polo in front of me. A homing-style ball strikes him from behind without waiting for its completion. Dare to fall forward and finish. You're too cautious.
"Then pay me a piece of white gold. We accept rematches.
"Damn, cowardly! That's the Kutanutsu way!
"I don't know. It's no use running, so pay fast. You don't have it? Are you poor?
"There can't be a single piece of white gold on hand! I'll pay next time!"
"You're poor. Then it's a debt of one white gold coin to me. Can I promise you I'll pay you next time?
"Oh, shit."
"Again, then, I'm a gold-lending curse, and interest is Toichi's compound interest. If you don't repay me at all every ten days, my joints will solidify one after another for every day I delay. Kill me, by the way, and you'll solve the contract magic.
"You said you'd accept rematches, didn't you? Shall I ask you to come back here tomorrow? You don't think I want to?
"You can bet on the same terms. It's up to you to talk to them on the spot tomorrow about changing your opponents and how they compete.
"Pfft, it's 12: 00 tomorrow. If you don't come, I'll make arrangements.
Oh, boy. You made money, but you were a hassle. Why would a senior nobleman doubt his victory if he's weak? At the time of the battle, I naturally looked at myself as if I had won. Oh, boy.
Let Alec heal you at home. Ko will be with you tonight. He's an inspiring kid who always grows up in his bag.
