Legend

"Please wait here. I'll call Master Puri right away."

Guided to what appears to be the living room, Elaine lowers her back to the nearby couch and exhales small.

"Cu?"

I guess I cared about Elaine like that. A yellow, stopping on his left shoulder, leans his little neck and squeals.

"Huh, don't worry about it. The last house that is ruling Exil. I was just wondering what kind of person he was.... I would have liked to have participated in the material stripping with Ray if I could."

When I received the invitation from the Marchelle family, I was quite lost in honesty. However, he is the head of the Marchelle family, who is said to have little or no access to the public. The desire to see him once was won if I could meet him on this occasion, and thus alone... No, he was coming to the Marchelle family alone and one with the Yellow.

(Schaffner hasn't been caught missing. Of course, there is no way the Levisole family can crush it, and their successors succeed them. But the Levisole family will be close to the Silva family puppet if you think about what it's going to be.... the only salvation is that Bosc doesn't seem to be going to do this to the Levisole family with his private personal greed, no matter what)

I met with Bosque a few times, and I understood that person, if not completely. What I felt at that time was that I was certainly a problematic person of sorts - something that would be a good example of what happened when it first happened with Elaine - but still the feeling I think about a city called Eggzil is real.

I guess that's why we're jumping to the elucidation of the existence of an anomalous species, using the private property of the Silva family until we gather and get information on the bodies of anomalous species.

Of course, that is in the interest of the Silva family… although it is only because they have decided that it would be in the interest of the labyrinth city of Exil to extend it.

"Cu, cu!

As Elaine thinks about it, she reaches out from her left shoulder to the cookie where the yellow moving on the table is placed on the plate, with a small mouth.

Feeling something heartwarming about the look, I reach for the cup of tea that was also placed on the table.

"Huh, eat clean, huh?

"Cu!"

Answer Elaine's words, whining over a cup of tea, with yellows honking even as she eats cookies, shaking her tail.

Stay put for a few minutes and relax in a way that you don't think you're in the mansion of those who are seen as enemies… Hear the knocking noise of the door and gaze towards you.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Dear Elaine Kelevel. My name is Pri Marchelle and I am the Marchelle family owner. Thank you for having responded to my invitation today."

That's what a middle-aged woman in her 40s showed up saying. I adorn my body with clothes like rings, bracelets, collars, foot rings, earrings, hair decorations, and it hurts my eyes just to watch.

However, Elaine, who is also educated as a courtier of the Duke of Kelevel family, nods small without putting her inner thoughts to her face.

"Even for me, I was hoping to meet with the Marchelle family. In that sense, it was just the right time."

"Oh, well, it was worth the invitation even to me to say so."

A prick who tells that with a full smile on his face, but one can also feel Elaine that the grin is not a grin in the words sense.

(Most of all, they rule this labyrinth city. Naturally even if you have something to think about)

"According to what I've heard, your lord rarely goes out in public? Is that for any reason?

"I don't have any particular reason for this, because I don't really like being out in public originally. If you're going to do that, you'll find it more meaningful to study magic."

Elaine grins and nods as impressed by the word research, opening her mouth.

"... Hmm? Speaking of which, do you think the Marstells will have a wizard in their ancestors among the parties that found the dungeon on this land? Can you tell me what kind of research you're doing, if that's all right?

As I asked, it was naturally about abnormal species that passed Elaine's brain.

The matter of the Levisole family became taboo, and all the researchers already in that laboratory had been killed when the Silva family made their way to the laboratory. Looking at this point alone, it is clear that the matter of the anomalous species was not done solely by the Levisole family, but as Elaine was the prix, the head of the Marchelle family with the most prominent candidate for the mastermind in front of her.

"I don't really want to be out-of-the-box...... you can tell me if you're from the Duke of Kelevel family. Actually, I was doing a study on encapsulating magic in gems."

"Magic on gems?

"Yes, Master Elaine, for example, is famous for being a user of the magic of the wind, but I hope that the effect can be instantly activated when the user uses something created in such a way as to enclose windarrow-like magic in the gem… in such a way. I was wondering if my research would be a great force for adventurers with fewer wizards in absolute numbers if it came to fruition."

It was a prick returning the word like saying no other, but Elaine leans her neck.

"But would a magic item have a similar effect? If you pass the magic, you'll have a magical effect."

Past Elaine's brain was Ray's dagger of running water and Tsu's spear.

When it comes to running water daggers, I only use them for about drinking water because of Ray's magic problems, but if they are compatible, they are magic items that have very powerful effects on winds like water whips and water swords.

As for Tsu's spear, it has the effect of creating a tsu from its body and intertwining its movements when pierced by the enemy, which in some ways can also be taken as outrageous.

That is not all, of course. The Slapenil shoes worn by Elaine have the effect of walking in the air, and the jointed sword can be freely manipulated by magic.

Isn't that such an effect in terms of gems, too? To Elaine, who asks like that, Prix shakes her head.

"No, they do have magical effects, as Lady Elaine said. But it's basically a very expensive product, and the truth is that if you're a highly-ranked adventurer, you can't help a lower-ranked adventurer. But in my research, it's a big deal that we're going to be able to use it somewhat freely for those low-ranking adventurers."

"Well, if that's true, it's a great study."

It was a snort Elaine, but in the next moment, I sharpen my gaze and look at Prix.

"By the way, that's a different story...... I've recently found a monster in the dungeon called an anomalous species, you know about that?

Prix sighs unfortunately and then nods at Elaine, who just asks if she doesn't forgive falsehood.

"Yeah, of course. I am still the head of the Marchelle family. Because the information from the guild is also coming in properly. … Schaffner also suffers from understanding why he did this… honestly"

"That Schaffner, but he's still missing. Do you have any idea where he's hiding?

"Unfortunately. As the ruler of Eggzil, I want him to be caught soon and atone for his sins."

"... well. If you don't know, why not?"

Elaine snorts at Prix's words, but there was something abominable in its heart.

There's nothing suspicious about it as far as we're talking about it this way. But Elaine's own reckoning undoubtedly says that the person in front of her is in some way involved in the uproar going on in Exil right now.

But there was no reason to do anything without any evidence, and all I could do was talk verbal restraint.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry. Schaffner was a respectable man who had already worked as the head of the Levisole family when I became head of the Marchelle family."

Softly stretch your fingers to the necklace tipped gem while making the look that it's really a shame on the surface, even if it's less prickly.

Love the jewels while floating a mockery at the poor old man who fed for his own desires in his heart.

"The gem......?

Elaine, who was watching such a prick, turns her gaze to the jewel at the tip of the necklace.

It's definitely more of a magic item than it feels magical. It's pretty powerful, too.

"Oh? That's Elaine, you have expensive eyes. This gem is something I just recently got, isn't it beautiful? Deep green to attract this gaze."

"Maybe that jewel is the result of the research you were just saying?

Elaine asks as she sees the yellow gaze that she should have been eating cookies beside herself, somehow directed towards the jewels of Prix.

"Yeah. That said, I'm still in the research stage, so I can only magic into jewels with pure, magical elements."

"Maybe that jewel..."

Say it and stop the words.

I was familiar with the size and shape of the gem, but the colors were decidedly different. That jewel that Elaine knew was embedded in Jewel Sniper's back, because it was red, not green.

(Is that a mistake?... No, but that's just the kind of thing that missees a gem that size... or just a coincidence?

Thinking of it that way, Prix grins at her mouth and strokes her jewels to love her.

The grin is not just in its earlier form. Definitely a grin from the bottom of my heart.

"No, think of it as a great gem. If you don't mind, could you show me a little something?

As for Elaine, it was just a word in her mouth somehow.

If you love gems as much as you love them, I was wondering if you would let your mouth slip along with your own jewelry pride.

... but.

"What the hell!? Are you going to take the jewels from me!?

The reaction caused by Elaine's words was something that could even be described as dramatic.

There is no longer a grin that has floated until earlier, and even the enemies of his parents are turned to Elaine with a murderous gaze.

The ring-shaped magic items embedded in that finger are magical enough to be activated at any time, to the point where Elaine is sure that the battle will undoubtedly begin if she moves one step closer to Prix.

"Calm down. Nothing. I'm not trying to take your jewels. I just wanted you to look good."

"Cucum! Cum!

Tell him to calm down the prick, whose half-eye is running blood, and next to him, the yellow also rings out that Elaine is right again.

Keep staring at each other silently for roughly a minute. You finally decide that Elaine isn't trying to take away the jewels she has, and the peril falls out of Prix's face.

And bow your head as small as if you noticed something.

"I'm sorry, Master Elaine. This is what happens to me when it comes to jewelry."

"... can you serve as the head of the Marchelle family in that state?

"Yeah, I can handle that.... embarrassing story, I currently have very few relatives in my house. Just a few children of relatives who draw blood far away, and perhaps one of them will eventually succeed the Marstells. So now I have to do my best."

It's definitely sadness that's floating in that face of whining.

The grief was such a heartfelt pain when the normal person saw it, but from Elaine's point of view, it makes her feel somewhere thin, similar to the grin she was floating earlier.

(In that sense, I guess the anger I floated when I said I wanted you to show me the gem is the real look... na)

I nod without putting it on my face, even though I think that way in my heart.

"Right. I'm sorry to hear that.... ill or something?

"No, it was an accident."

It was a prick who returned that word without getting into Elaine's words for a while, but if you try Elaine, who is already suspicious of the word itself, you even feel suspicious about the word accident.

(But from what I've seen, it's not that I'm applying it to my desire for power. If that were the case, there would be a lot more going out in public. Then there is some reason.... Is that more natural to think about)

Keep talking for about half an hour and hang a lot of shaking things up, Elaine, but Prix never rode it.

And...

"Oh, Master Elaine. I'm sorry, but it looks like it's time, so let's keep it open around here today. Because I still have my job as head of the Marchelle family."

"Hmm, well. With that being said, I'm only getting in the way of being here any more, too.... Yellow, it's time to go home"

"Cu!"

To Elaine's words, the yellow rings briefly and stops to her left shoulder.

After a few words as it were, the maid leaves the room with Elaine.

It was a prick who smiled and dropped Elaine off, but her expression changes the moment the door closes.

No, it's the same thing with laughter, but it gave me a deep grin, as if it represented more sincerity than that.

"I knew you were sharp.... Hey, what do you think? As the head of the Levisole family, who has supported Exil for many years"

Whimpering, gently stroking the necklace jewel thanks to love, continue the words.

"Yeah, I guess so. But this is how I met him in person. Okay. That kid will definitely be superb material. That's for materials like hundreds, thousands of years."

He grinned and stroked the jewel like he could even say he was crazy.
