Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 171: Seiya's Answer

"I've always liked it"

That's the emotion Serena had. I don't know exactly how long my love for Seyya has awakened. But the fact that Serena likes Seyya is an untrue fact.

"Serena......"

Seyya is baffled by a sudden confession.

Seiya looked into Serena's eyes and found that Serena was serious. Serious confessions, then Seiya must also be seriously answered.

"Bad. I can't get to your thoughts"

"Yeah, I know"

Serena smiled and nodded in response to Seyya's answer.

Because Serena knows.

That Saiya already has a fiancée named Yua. And the fact that my mistress even has a cute lily.

Serena's confession was based on that.

So Seyya is baffled. Because I didn't know what the hell Serena was thinking.

Serena looks at Seyya like that and smiles just a little. And I expressed my thoughts and wishes.

"Seiya has a fiancée, Mr. Youre"

"Oh, yeah. I'm not going to dissolve Yua's engagement."

"Yeah, I know. But Lily's making you mistress, isn't she?

"No way, you..."

Seyya figured out what Serena was thinking at this point.

So Serena asks for the best smile ever.

"Make me your mistress too"

"Become..."

Suddenly, I can't help but lose my words, Seiya.

Seyya is not going to be King Harlem unless she is a woman in the first place. A man who thinks he should love one woman.

Being Lili's mistress means that Lili is the fairy Undine and I can't leave with Saiya in full contract, and if it's true, I don't feel like being a mistress either.

Rather, whenever I make Lily say mistress, it's enough to make me feel sorry for her.

There was no way Saiya could have mistress about Serena like that.

"Bad. I can't do that"

"Why?"

"I don't want to be King Harlem. Plus, if you do that, the Phoenix family name."

"Yeah, be ready."

Suddenly a visiting pinch. Seyya didn't know what to do.

I'm honestly happy to be favored by a beautiful girl like Serena. But Seiya has a fiancée named Yua, and if she makes Serena a mistress or something, it scratches the name of the Phoenix family.

Serena says she's ready, but reality isn't that sweet.

That's why Seyya had to say no.

But naturally, there's no way Serena would admit it, and in the end, the two discussions can't be avoided getting into the mud.

Coverage came in from unexpected sources at that time when Seyya was wondering what to do.

"Um, I'm sorry to bother you, but you're Annone, right?

"Why are you here?

It was Ranya and Luca, former classmates of Seyya, who gave me cover. But his face was full of confusion.

"Whoa. Long time no see. Bad Serena, I'll see you next time."

I think you're the worst response yourself. Seiya, but I can't help it.

This is still a battlefield and we don't know when our enemies will strike. It's better to keep it this way than to be weird and let down.

"Ok......"

Serena is reluctant, too, but accepts Seyya's words. Serena was not a child, either, so much so that she could not understand the thoughts of Seyya.

With such subtle air flowing, Seyya hits the response between the two of us.

"It's been a long time again."

He tells the story of what happened to the eyes of the Rañas against Seyya, who showed a friendly attitude.

"You, why are you alive?

"That's right. Annone got caught up in that case..."

He was supposed to be dead. But now Saiya was alive, and even Tace, the mighty enemy, was buried away in an instant.

The figure is not the Seiya we know anymore.

Seiya sighs and explains the situation.

"Do you know how that case ended?

"Yeah, if it's just a little. One of the thirteen apostles found the enemy Azito and freed him."

"But I couldn't find one place."

"Exactly"

What the Rañas were saying was to such an extent that it was widespread in the public. That's all even the Rañas partly involved in solving that case were taught.

"Me and Zach were captured by the rest of the facility."

"I knew it. So?

"Well, there's a lot going on, and I succeeded in getting out of that facility."

"What about Zach and the others?

When I remembered Zach and the others at that time, Seyya still didn't feel good.

"They abandoned me, so they did something else."

"Yes..."

My former classmates abandoned my people. That was an unacceptable fact, but Raña knows what Seyya was doing with Zach and the others.

And that was easy to imagine.

"Well, don't worry about them. They were in this Leirian magic tournament, too."

"Yes!?

Ranya is stunned by the fact that she was suddenly told. That was the same for Luca.

"What do you mean?

"The three of you aren't representatives of Senavia, are you?

"Oh, I know. They were Camaelina's representatives."

"Kamaelina......"

Hearing the name, the two soon realized that Zach and his men had been used as tools for human experimentation.

Because that's what Frestan with the Camaelina School of Magic was all about.

"Even so, Zach won't be alive anymore."

"Yes..."

I think Ragna saw Seyya speak pale and that he has really changed. I wasn't finished talking about Saiya like that.

"I left the facility, I acted with an Arsenian girl and entered the Aquaristan."

"So you said you lived in Aquaristan?

"That's what I'm talking about"

It's a big mess, but Seiya told Ranya what she's been up to. Why we have spoken so far, it is to skip the explanation in one go.

If it just stood out so far, there might be people prying about Seyya. Especially the students at the Senavian School of Magic who know about Seyya's past.

At that time, if a magician with status in the Senavian School of Magic, like Ranya, gave an explanation, there shouldn't be that much inquiry packing.

This means that Seiya pushed Ranya into trouble.

Naturally unaware of such an act, Ranya had a serious look on her face and thought about Seyya's leopard.

The ability to release an even more intense killing spirit that you are likely to lose your mind just because it was directed at you, and extinguish your paralysis in an instant.

Not only that, but the power to easily extinguish man as well. That power, that Annone couldn't have had.

But more surprising than that was the advent of Seyya. Seiya, who did not feel any signs at all and appeared as if she had made an instant move.

If you've hidden those powers since the time of the Senavian School of Magic, all I can say is that you have a tough spirit.

But it's not, and if you got it after that incident, I'm curious what the hell happened.

Either way, Ranya thought Seyya was unusual.

"Hey, what the hell..."

"Don't."

I tried to ask Ragna who she was, but before that, Seiya stops. Although heat is the only thing in Seyya's eyes that looks at Ranya, compared to earlier, it's cold.

Perhaps that's one step ahead of opening Pandora's box.

I felt a siren rattling, just saying I shouldn't hear any more in Ragna. It's an instinctive crisis detection capability. I can't do this any more.

With that in mind, Ranya cut the conversation.

"Sorry."

From Ranya's voice, the aura I cared about was fully open, but Seiya had no choice but to dare pretend not to notice.
