Helper teacher of magic girls' school

Episode 397: The Man You Can Count on

Thursday night, Edmond Private Room......

Lew and Edmond were talking in just the two of us, as they once did when we spoke in the king's capital.

We make people pay for each of the five rooms around us just in case, and we take care not to cause extra noise.

Edmond narrows his eyes as he looks nostalgic.

"It's been a long time since I've talked to you like this."

"Yes, I'm out of time"

"It's been a while," Edmond told me, and Lew lowered his head lightly.

It's certainly been quite some time since I talked to Edmond carefully before.

Anyway, it was before Lilya came to the Valentine's Kingdom.

"First, thank you for honoring my promise to register as an Adventurer in this Bertrand"

Edmond's expression gets softer and softer.

Those who usually look at him say, "Unbelievable! You must scream."

Rejoicing in Lou's fortitude is because he is one of the favourites of the atmosphere that his grandchildren are cute and unpleasant.

"Looks like there's been a lot going on since then, and there's been an initial report under Noh. Well, I don't have to talk to you.

Edmond seems to have some idea of what's happened since he talked to Lou.

From His Highness Philip, of course, he would have numerous information networks, such as the Adventurer's Guild.

"I've heard that your great work saved not only this Valentine, but even Rodonia, and you've done a really good job."

"No big deal."

When Edmond labored (was there), Lew shook his neck slowly beside him with a calm expression.

"Don't be modest... you know something you don't know... if you don't mind telling me again, why don't you tell me?"

Edmond seems to know that what he is told is the tip of the iceberg.

To some extent, Lou did not differ at all in telling Edmond the facts, so he explained the history of the incident from its occurrence to its resolution.

Lew cut out what he had to touch on it.

"As you may have heard, this time it was the true cause of the insinuation of all those named Upinians."

"Uppinian? Hmm, does that have anything to do with" Uppin's Red Magic Book "?

"Did you know"

"Ha, I'm not familiar with it. Uppin's Red Enchantment Book was once possessed by the Great Demon King Bael. I hear that at some point it dispersed in pieces and was lost to the absence"

Once named as a superior adventurer, Edmond naturally knows about Uppin's Red Magic Book.

I just didn't seem to know the person collecting the fragment was in the dark.

"You're right. This time, the demons who appeared were forced to manipulate them with Uppin magic."

"Mmm! A raw man who gets Uppin's red guide and acts like he thinks of the devil and satisfies his own desires is an Uppinian..."

After listening to Lu, Edmond also seemed to realize that the Upinians could be dangerous.

"Yes, Uppin's Red Apocalypse bears the true names of the demons. If we know its true name, the devils will have to be good magicians."

"... to the point of being, you're right. You want to get that. But... how did you do that? You could have taken a fragment of Uppin's book from the Uppinians and obeyed it?

No matter how good a wizard Lew is, he is human.

He didn't even think of Edmond as a powerful and vicious demon.

It's just that Luu somehow has a faint expectation that even the devil can fight properly.

But Lew's reply was simple but fearful, overshadowing such Edmond's expectations.

"Grandpa, I... can defeat them and follow them as summoners on top of that, that's all."

"Ha ha, can you knock it down and obey... ok... you mean don't ask me any more?

Edmond suppresses surprises and manages to make it look flat and return the words.

Besides, Edmond is good at reading the flow of the field at times like this.

I didn't pursue it any further because I understood what Lou didn't want to tell me to go far.

Luu thanks Edmond for that.

"Thank you, Grandpa... Actually, I need to talk to you too"

"Well, from you? Talk to me."

Looks like we still need to talk from Lew.

Edmond switched his head and decided to listen.

"Yes! There are two stories...... First I will make Lilya, Princess of Rodonia, my daughter-in-law. It's just me and her hope. I'm going to take King Rodonia's permission, but I've already made up my mind... and I apologize for the ex-post report to Grandpa..."

"Ha ha,... you, you fell in love with the princess, didn't you?

"Yes! Second, Grandpa, I'm sending an escort to you, my squire and demon."

"Wow! Are those two in my arms short?

Edmond's two arms are Clive, the master of the Adventurer Alliance, and Nathan, the Knight Commander.

Both names are of Edmond's prospective Bertrand, no, the kingdom of Valentine.

But Luu said it clearly.

"Yes! They can't beat the devil"

"Let's get this straight... well, it's often that Noon gets his life targeted."

Edmond smiles bitterly and confesses that he is often targeted for his life.

But Lu's serene expression earlier changed and is serious.

"I was fortunate enough to make it when King Rodonia... but now I won't have to let Grandpa die"

"Is this old man short old life that important?

"Yes, the Kingdom of Valentine is still loaded by one young Philip. Besides, this Bertrand is a golden mountain for the Uppinians. Especially if they suppress the Adventurer Alliance, this world will be in crisis."

After solving Edmonds' family and various cases, Lew had come to understand what was going on in this country.

"Wow! You even seem to know the existential value of the Adventurer Alliance. Hmm... Your teacher heard directly about the guild's philosophy from Master Bertcreed."

"Yes!"

"Okay! You're right, let's accept the escort, are you here now?

"Yep... Andras, come on!

"Ha! Master Lew"

When all of a sudden the space in the room cracked, a successful man appeared with a raptor face.

He is nearly 2 m tall and is wrapped in simple leather armor.

The forged flesh is musculoskeletal as can be seen from above the armor.

He is Luu's squire and Andrus, the demon who has become humanized.

Apparently, he was waiting in a different realm that existed right beside this world.

"Grandpa, he's Andras. Usually, in the state of mental body (astral), it serves as your protection in this Bertrand. The unsuccessful man... eliminates demons and demons as well as humans... and by the way, he fought demons in Maple Village a while ago"

"It's Andras... I'll be your escort with Master Lew's life, thank you in the future"

Edmond can't hide his surprise as he listens to Lou.

Because the appearance is too different from that of the devil who hears the story.

"Oh no! Is this the devil? People only see you."

……

Andras, after his name, doesn't look at Edmond.

Look in the direction of the day after tomorrow and don't say a word.

Even before Edmond, the Grand Duke, he is not cowardly at all, and he is faceless.

Edmond smiled bitterly when he saw Andras like that, but originally he doesn't hate oligarchy men like Andras.

Instead, I prefer the silent execution type, which accomplishes what needs to be done even in silence, to the man who speaks eloquently and does nothing.

Edmond nods silently with a satisfied look at Luu.

Rue gave Andras instructions to confirm his escort again.

Andras, please.

"Ha! Excuse me"

Andras disappears like smoke when he says just that.

Again, he returned to the kingdom in which he lived.

"Lew, let's get this straight"

Since Andras left, Edmond has made his residence right.

"Not only for Francisca and Adelaide, but also for His Majesty Richard and Philip, and for this nonsense, you must be a man no more, and I hope you will always be."

Valentine's Kingdom needs... a man who must be.

That's what Edmond said, but he was counting on the out-of-phase youth in his eyes.
