- Ciel point of view

The letter received from Warewolf contained a message addressed to a certain person from Dear Solciere. He wants me to visit his place of residence for once because I want to talk about a lot of things. There is no such thing as just the content, it was a common letter everywhere, but the problem was with the person. I want you to give it to a girl of human secluded strength and beauty, who lives in the city of Suphore - because that's what the letter said. There is only one such person in that city. Treat the fierce men who said they were adventurers and knights in line as children, and even Rich, known as the King of the Necromancer, was as if he had no teeth - that is, Lapis.

Her beauty doesn't even extend to an elf, and I've never seen a cuter kid than that girl, even if it's not just the city of Suphore. So the recipient of this letter could not think of anything other than Lapis.

"Hey, Ciel! It applies to this condition."

"I can't think of anything but Lapis. Do you know anything else about Rabruska and Vitis?

"No, I don't. I think Dr. Lapis is the only one who falls under this condition."

"Me too. Strong people, beautiful people, when they're separated, there's no one but the teacher."

Good. Looks like I'm not the only one who thought it was Lapis. When we returned to the village, we gave the materials deposited from Wearwolf to the village chief to accomplish the request, using flying magic to return to the city of Suphore at full speed. I couldn't possibly be able to travel at high speeds all at once to Lapis on the boulder, so I was pinching a few breaks along the way, but I was still able to get back to the city far faster than I was able to travel on foot. Thanks to our return to the city in practically a day or so, our strength and magic seemed about to exceed our limits, but we whip on our tired bodies and we go for our guild.

"Is that it? Are you home yet? That's pretty fast."

When I opened the door that made a noisy noise and entered the guild, I got eyes on Lapis, who was just putting out his finesse in reception work. Fortunately, it doesn't even seem crowded at this time of year, and the adventurer is only rare in appearance. I silently approached her side and softly offered her the parchment that had been folded.

"What's this? Letters? Should I read them?

Lapis with a cute neck. Seems like he's suddenly being pressed into a letter and confused.

"Yeah. I haven't decided on a clear sender, but I think it's probably about Lapis"

"Really? Then I'll let you read it."

As her eyes slipped over the letter, the look gradually changed. It's not anger, it's not joy. Pure surprised look. She made her shapely lips shake fine, and her hand with the letter seemed to be powerful or strong.

"... Ciel, who is this letter from?

I smack my ear in Lapis, who asks me that question to hide the upset.

"Wearwolf. I got it from the demon."

There is no way I can say publicly that I received something from a demon. Because if you suspect you're going through with demons, you might get jailed, and if you suspect you're related to demon kings, you don't know what you're going to do. Until he reaches this city, Karin, of course, has sporadically mentioned the area to both Labruska and Vitis. Never say anything else for your own safety or that of the people around you.

Lapis looked away from the letter and groaned potpourrily looking somewhere that wasn't here.

"Oh well... He's alive..."

He's... he's probably talking about Master Solciere. Dear Solciere, the Great Wizard, who partied with the ancient brave. Genius who created the guild chick shape, popularized the adventurer registration system, and created numerous great magic. From a wizard like me, someone I respect more than a brave man. Calling someone like that... has Lapis ever met him? No, this way of putting it, it's not facial familiarity. Probably a pretty close relationship.

"Lapis..."

"Thanks, guys. Deliver it to me. I'm gonna take a break from work for a while and I'm gonna go see him."

"Wait a minute! Then I'll go, too!

"Me too!

"Me too!

"I want to go too!

"Yes!?

Lapis puzzles us when he declares that he will follow us as a matter of course. There's no way I can get involved and make a face like this. If you don't follow me in the wild and ask me what relationship Lapis and Master Solciere have, I'll moan and I won't be able to sleep at night. Besides, I'm interested in Solciere himself. I need to see with this eye what the legendary Great Wizard looks like.

"Hmmm...... Well, okay. I'm not even telling you not to come except me. So we're leaving tomorrow. I'll take you there. I think the food's good for a day or so."

Lapis' flying magic is in danger for once, so I wanted to avoid it as much as possible. Can you say that at this time? I feel like my experience, Karin and I, had a slight pull on our faces, but we were able to attach a promise to follow.

§ § §

The next day, before the sun rose, we followed the city of Suphore. When Lapis pulls one of us to fly, our arms and strength behind us are going to reach their immediate limits, so this time we are putting a lot of hands on it. The tow stays with Lapis. Then, after using the magic of gravity control to get everyone to lighten up, I decided to keep putting up a line that prevented the wind. This way you won't have to suffocate and die like you did when you came back from the king's capital, or pull your arms and endure the pain. Looks like Lapis used to use this method, but it's been too long since I've forgotten. Who the hell were you partying with?

"Lapis, over there"

In the place I pointed out was the figure of a work shed that I did with Wearwolf yesterday. Because it's still early in the morning, or there's no such thing as wood dust or any other human figure in the village. Instead, Wearwolf, who told me to hide, greeted me as I sat down.

"Madeida. Ningen"

"... why are you grounded?

"I don't know why, but it's been since yesterday. It might be a special greeting from Warewolf."

I tried to tell Lapis about my guess, but she didn't seem very comfortable.

"Unnaizle. Twidecoi"

"Ah! Hey!

With that said, Warewolf rushed to the back of the woods without waiting for this reply either. Lapis can afford that, and Karin and the others are doing everything in their power to avoid being left behind in desperate shape. There are so many obstacles in the woods anyway, just running straight is a struggle. Being significantly inferior in health to them, I had given up running from the start and tracked them out of the sky. At a time like this, I can really feel good about Lapis teaching me flying magic. After running for about thirty minutes, Wearwolf stopped abruptly and began to sniff the smell of the spot with cum.

"Huh... what...? You got it?

"It doesn't seem to be in anything..."

"Around... there are only trees..."

Unlike the Karins, who also constantly look around her breath, Lapis didn't stare at a certain point and make it slight. That's just the front where Warewolf is smelling, and it looks like a space where the trees stand with nothing. But the next moment, I wondered if the space in front of me was distorted, and we were standing in the streets of strange cities.

"Nah! What is this!?

"You're lying!

"What do you mean? I don't know why you're in the city... where are you!?

I was in a hurry to look around, forgetting to say a word. A city I've never seen before. It's a bit of a blur, but it's lined up with buildings large enough to call it a city. Whether the general house is combined with the store or the home is on two floors, indoors visible through the windows are visible furniture to be used for life. There's a crowd there on the street and it's lively. But there was no shadow or shape in a city like this until just now. What the hell is going on? Suddenly I was surprised to be in the city, but what surprised me the most was the figure of a resident walking down the street.

"Demons...?

"No, that's not all. There are beasts, Lizardmans, people like us."

Speaking of demonic tribes, under the command of the Demon King, it should be a race that is always hostile to humans. They just smile gently when they see us like that, and they don't make us feel any shards of hostility. The same goes for the other residents. There seemed to be no rubbing at all when it came to having a mixed race in one city.

"Wow... something... like heaven"

Potty and squeaky Karin. I felt the same way. Hostile and non-interactive races are gathered to form the same city without dispute. Calling it heaven felt the firmest. Wearwolf, who sees us like that in chills, thinks he doesn't need to run anymore, starts walking slowly.

"Kochda. Twidecoi"

Lapis is alert, and we startle to follow. Even if there was no animosity towards the demons around us, the feeling that the demons = enemies plunged in for years could not be so easily dispelled, and frightened we were like countrymen who came out of the countryside and bewildered the city.

"A blinding hallucination to the kingdom of man. That's how he's gonna do it."

"Lapis, what's that guy?

"Of course it's Solciere. I think I should follow you now."

After all, Lapis has a smaller mouth count than usual. Even though she's usually a little easier to figure out what she's thinking, she was just staring at Wearwolf's back going forward to see if she dared not put it on her face right now.

"Kogoda"

Wearwolf, who has guided us to the back of the city, close to the border with the woods, opened the door of a house uncrafted and went inside. I hear there's a Master Solciere in here. Gokuri - and naturally my throat rings. A legendary wizard who only existed in books. A lonely being who invented numerous magics and disappeared neglectfully. The wizard, the one everyone admires, is right there.

"Let's just get in"

"Yeah..."

"You're nervous."

Lapis walks inside with Zukazuka as if she were her own house. Wow. I want you to split that nerve thickness a little bit too.

The house was scattered with all sorts of things, so scattered that there was no foot trail. I wonder if a bunch of parchment paper written in some unclear language is piled up, something like dry animal or demonic material can be dusty on the cupboard. It was very unlikely to be a decent human dwelling house, such as a glass of liquid that emitted strange light or shards of bread with mold. Dirty - I shouldn't be the only one who put that in his mouth. But neither me nor Karin could say anything because they were afraid of damaging Master Solciere's mood. But there was someone in front of me who didn't care. It's Lapis. When she pinches the moldy bread with her fingers and smells it, she flaunts her face in abundance.

"That's a dirty house. Are you still incapable of living? Why don't we clean up a little bit?

"Take extra care of me. I like to eat when I want to and sleep when I want to."

The person who emerged from the back showed up saying so with his head on. About my age. The brilliant silver hair, reflecting the moon's light, is stretched to the waist, and the eyes of the same color cut length are open to the attention of whether drowsiness is still present. Not as beautiful as Lapis, but pretty. He has a brilliant proposition with no waste of meat for living a barren life. I'm very interested in how the hell you keep that shape. This man is the Great Wizard, Master Solciere. I was excited to have a legend within reach, and my body and nature were trembling with excitement.

"Nevertheless...... she got cute and well...... You totally have your life as a girl on the board!

"Don't laugh! Whose fault do you think it is!

Lapis yells at Lapis with a bright red face as he suddenly starts laughing off holding his stomach. But she stood up wiping the tears in her eyes after a glimpse of laughter without the wind that cared. Lapis stared at her like that with a bitter look.

"Uh... that was interesting. I haven't laughed like this in decades. You're welcome. Um... what's your name now?

"It's Lapis. Don't say the wrong name."

"I know. Unlike old times, I think we've found some people to get along with. Don't worry, I won't imitate you like that."

Dear Solciere, who sees us as chills in a meaningful way. I wondered what kind of past was between Lapis and her, but now it's up to me to ask why she was called here.
