Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

"I didn't expect you and I to start over here. Christina-Saya"

"That's our line. Mikokabrera-Diskian"

It was Mikokabrera-Diskian, the person in question who recently inherited the name of Asmodeus the Demon King, who appeared before Seyya. It's been since the Leirian Magic Games for the two of them to meet, but each other's names soon came up.

Never thought I'd look good in a city like this, Miko Cabrera. Seiya can't hide her surprise colors. But apparently the same goes for Mikokabrera, who is stunned that Seyya is in Dacrya.

"Why are you in Dacrya… is a stupid question"

"You sound like you know why."

Mouthwatering Mikokabrera as if she knew the circumstances of Seiya. I thought Mikokabrera knew that I was the next Great Demon King Lucifer, the new ruler of Dacrea, but the anxiety ends in worry.

"Yeah, of course I know you've become the thirteenth extraordinary magician."

"You..."

Seyya looks around in a panic. If the people around you would listen to the conversation now, the identity of Seyya would be in the bright light. Seyya stayed in Dacrya as a D-rank adventurer for once, and from his neck was hung a tag made of iron, a testament to the adventurer.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it around. I put up a soundproof wall."

"Looks like it."

Seeing as the people around you don't even look to the Seiya, Seiya is convinced that what Mikokabrera is saying is true. But the look is still harsh.

"You know very well that I've become a super magician."

"I'm still a former Leirian."

"I see, do you still have a pipe in Leiria"

Seyya's becoming a premier magician is a famous story within Leiria. And so much so that I've monopolized the topic at one time. Though I call that a Dacrya person, it's no surprise that Miko Cabrera, who was infiltrating Leiria, knew.

"Well, let me start by saying congratulations"

"Thanks for that."

Mikokabrera says the blessing to Seyya with a patsy hand, but that attitude completely overlooks Seyya. Apparently he thinks he's the only one getting the information. So Seyya throws back the words of blessing just to fight back.

"But that's mutual, isn't it?

"What do you mean?

"You think I don't know you've become Asmodeus the Demon King?

Seiya that she knows one thing about the Dream King all in return. This is also another hot topic that is rumored by the public, so it's no surprise Seiya knows. But Mikokabrera looks surprised that Seiya knows one thing about the Dream King.

"I didn't think you knew that."

"Say what. You're the most talked about person in Daclear right now, aren't you?

"I'm glad to hear that."

Mikokabrera responding with an attitude that she still can afford. But it is Seyya who truly prevails. Because Mikokabrera didn't even think there was fine dust such as the next Great Demon King in front of her.

Seiya, on the other hand, puts in an exploration of what the radicals to whom Mikokabrera belongs are thinking.

"Can such a demon king stay all over the city without even putting on an escort?

No matter how much the Dacrya Empire, it's dangerous for the Demon King to bluff all over the city without even wearing an escort. Not to mention where the two of us are in denial of the Demon King system, right in front of a group of people trying to abolish it. If they realise who Miko Cabrera is, I can't imagine what means they'll use.

However, I answer Seiya's concern with a slight loosening of her cheek.

"Do you worry about your enemies?

"Sort of. It's a lot of trouble when you get killed and Dacrya gets rough."

Seiya, the next Great Demon King, would still have preferred the status quo, where the Rapids were staring at the moderates, rather than the Dedemons slamming because of some trigger. But Miko Cabrera, who doesn't know what Seyya thinks, gets it wrong.

"I see. Are you currently on a Dacrea investigation mission?"

Leirian magician, that too. I can tell as soon as I think about why the premium magician is in Dacrea, etc. Moreover, from the tone of Seyya, it also seemed that the task attached importance to secrecy.

"But if you're worried about people?

"What does that mean?"

"It means the same thing."

At the next moment, Miko Cabrera's expression, which until earlier was like looking down at Seyya, becomes something serious.

I don't know what you're talking about.

"You think you don't understand the true meaning of the mission?

In that tone, apparently, Mikokabrera is aware of the thoughts behind Seyya's mission. The true reason why the Seven Wise Men sent Seyya to Dacrya.

"The Seven Wise Men are trying to kill you by kicking you out of Dacrya."

You seem to know a lot about them.

"Yeah, because I'm a former ecclesiastical employee. And you can easily see what those old men think."

Apparently, Mikokabrera really knows about the Seven Wise Men. But it may well be that a man who originally belonged to the Episcopal Church and yet served as an educator for the Thirteen Apostles would understand their thoughts.

"You are a heretical magician who uses light and dark attributes. And a mutation that came out of nowhere. Before those old men realized and used your usefulness, they tried to erase your existence in fear of the confusion that that power would bring."

Mikokabrera's description is general. If there was only one difference, the special voice of Seyya had the effect of tying the Seven Wise Men, and they were afraid of its power, but it is also impossible for Mikokabrera not to know about it.

"So, who are they?

"Thirteen Apostolic Sequences # 1, Saint Knight Arthur = One"

Mikokabrera, interested in Seyya's assignment, asked for the name of the magician Seyya would be dealing with. He was an unfaithful seiya who answered discipline against his enemy, Mikokabrera, but there he answered honestly.

"That's another tough opponent. I've never heard of it before, but I've heard a lot of rumors."

"Rumors?"

"A monster with a 100 percent rate of mission fulfillment that will never fail. A mysterious big figure who knows how long he has been on the throne of the Holy Knight, on top of barely staying in Leiria. If you're in the Episcopal Church, you'll hear a lot of rumors."

Sure, if that's all you ask, you'll wonder what the hell Arthur is like, but there's no novelty if you take it to Saiya, who knows who he is. What bothered me more than that was Mikokabrera's attitude. Even though I call myself an enemy, I don't know what I'm thinking around giving Arthur information to Seyya.

"You care about me for a long time."

"Of course that is. I'm interested in you."

But I'm from Leiria.

"Was it born? I don't know where you were born, but half of you is definitely Dacrea's blood. Then at the time, he was an enemy, and he was also a compatriot. If such a compatriot is in distress, it would make sense to help."

Seiya is impressed by Mikokabrera's words.

"If you want, let us protect you."

"Protection?

"Yeah, it's protection. Now you are a magician who, if I may say so, was expelled from Leiria. Then why don't you join us in destroying the Seven Wise Men, Leiria?

Seiya eats face to face with unexpected suggestions.

"That means being one of you guys?

"Yes, please lend us your strength."

Mikokabrera's eyes were serious.
