Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

"Hey, Ray. I've come to see you!

It was Lydia who said that and came indoors.

His name is Ray. Age is five. That's all I could find out. Even when I heard the family name, it was because if I didn't remember, I would just whine bossly.

I dare not ask for any other information. After all, I was thinking about his mental side. Remember that time, I just feel hard.

It's already been investigated, but all the humans in that village were dead. That means all his relatives are dying, too. I don't know if you already understand that fact, but now it has become a decision that you should leave it at ease.

We are now nearing the end of our assignment to this small country and plan to take him back to the kingdom. After that, we're still in the process of deciding whether to keep it in an orphanage or give it to a house that wants an adopted child.

"Hmm? Carol. What have you been up to?

"Huh! Even Caro Caro, Ray likes you! I was reading pictures today!

"... right"

I smile so tenderly.

It was Carol who personally took care of Ray the most in this unit. Of course the other members are coming and watching him. But now that there won't be too many people, Carol is primarily his opponent.

Of course, that doesn't mean Carol pushed me, it's because she's most apt to offer that.

At first I only reacted to Lydia, but now I'm also starting to react to Carol's voice.

"Right. Ray. My name, can you say it?

And suddenly I ask that. Nico smiles and tries to encourage him to keep his name.

Ray then gave the name in a small voice with a boss.

"... Carol"

"Oh, that ~? Oh, that's crazy ~? You can call me Caro Caro ~, I said ~? Right. Ray. Try calling me Caro Caro ~?

You like that nickname yourself, Carol will try to push Ray that way again. But all Ray had to do was respond the same.

"... Carol"

Seeing it, Lydia starts laughing with her belly in her arms.

"Kukukuku...... Kuhahahahahaha! Ray, you know how to handle Carol!

The laughter echoes through this room. Isn't it funny as Carol, inflating her puffy cheeks?

"Ugh! Lydia's smiling too much. Yikes! Not at all!

He shows off his sleigh like he's angry, but Carol liked this vibe too. And you two find out.

I felt like Ray was smiling.

"Oh, I just laughed!?

"Oh. You looked like that to me, too."

……

But the expression soon returns to the dark, as usual. Opening your mind takes more time. That was something we all shared.

"All right, Ray. Let me tell you about my martial arts today."

Lydia brings a chair and sits at his side.

The last few days. Lydia talks about her martial arts all the time. That's the only funny thing I can talk about, for some reason... Ray has a good reaction when it comes to Lydia.

And again today, Lydia talked about her martial arts.

"Lydia. How'd it go?

As we were eating, it was Abby who approached us. Lydia looks at her face chillingly, grinning as usual.

"Hehe. I think Ray just smiled a little today. Besides, he knows exactly how to handle Carol. Actually..."

Talk about what happened earlier.

Then Abby, who rarely laughs, starts laughing out loud, too.

"Hahaha! That's a masterpiece!

"Right? That was the funniest... Kukukuku"

Lydia laughs in memory and leaks her voice again. And the two discuss the future.

"Lydia, for the future, but I plan to return to the kingdom in two weeks"

"... right"

"So, Ray's treatment."

"Did they find you? The pickup address."

"No, I haven't found it yet. In the first place, the situation is special this time. Besides, in his case, I'm a little concerned."

"Maybe you mean that?

"Ah."

Something to worry about.

That was a ritual that was taking place in that village. Its content was about lowering God, but the more I looked into it, the more mysterious it became.

A boy named Ray is the survivor of that village. And even more, apparently, it possesses a special first material, Prima Materia. Even they know that we should be cautious about our future treatment.

"I'll be talking about possibilities, but maybe I'm getting rituals and doings in that village"

"You think that's who that primary material Prima Materia is?

"Speculation, though. I've discussed it with the Major, but the truth is still unknown."

"This is just what I felt, but Ray's primary material, Prima Materia, is definitely special. Maybe it's close to mine."

"Lydia is like a normal sorcerer"

"Ah. Apparently, in my case, it's highly apt for code."

It is a famous story that the first material, Prima Materia, varies from individual to individual. It manifests itself prominently when used in code theory. In the case of Lydia, it shows code suitability up to abnormal.

Ray, on the other hand, found that he had traits close to Lydia. That's why I was in the middle of thinking about his treatment in the troops.

Can I keep him in the orphanage, or should I take care of him like this?

No, we all knew. The right decision is to keep Ray in an orphanage or something. No matter how capable or strange it may be, it will certainly be an obstacle to the task.

But Lydia looks at Ray and thinks, That he doesn't seem like anyone else. That seems, so to speak, like sympathy...... but the truth is, I feel like sympathy.

We met then.

Lydia didn't think it was a coincidence.

"Ray... I think we should do something. Abby."

"That should be taken back to the kingdom and orphanage or as an adopted child"

"Right..."

I know. I understand.

It's no different that I'm only a sixteen-year-old. Though as a magician you are reaching the realm of completion, you cannot take care of your children.

That's not just an emotion, it's a logical story. On the other hand, her emotions are appealing. We have to keep putting him in someone's hands.

That's a hunch.

The discomfort in Lydia's mind.

"No way, you're thinking of picking it up, aren't you?

"I don't think that much of a boulder..."

That's what I'm saying, but that's not what the expression says. You look like you're worried about something, but Abby had nothing to say.

That's because she felt the same way. Again, I'm sure, it's self-evident that if that happens, Carol will be rough. But it's weirder to be so emotional.

He's just someone else in red. No matter how pathetic you think it is, that's the only fact that can't change.

That's what they tell themselves.

But things went in unexpected directions.
