Episode 369: Towers and colleges, skirmishes

"What? Is something wrong?

Lorraine said that and looked back in the direction where she heard a loud voice, so me and Lina would gaze at you too.

Then there was a boy dressed in an expensive robe and a middle-aged man who thought he was a pedestrian.

"... are you a child?

When I whine like that, Lorraine snorts,

"Sounds like it. Around ten? Seems like a lot of dignity for that... whoa, you've seen that robe before. There 'll be Lina too, won't there?

That's what I said. I saw Lina.

Lina shook her head vertically at it,

"... it's the College uniform. Probably came in the carriage earlier."

I answered that.

Is that a subtle expression because it reminds me of the students of the College who don't like it?

But I see, a college uniform...

I've never seen this before.

It is natural to say so because it is not something that rural people have the opportunity to see that way.

Well, maybe I caught your eye the other day when you went to King's Capital, but you don't really remember.

Though I may say that others didn't care because I was dressed weird.

But nevertheless...

"Nice uniform, huh?

Of course it is a very good tailoring that seems simply expensive, but more than that, I thought so as an adventurer.

Lorraine seems to agree with this,

"Right. The material is... Alchemy reinforced demon sheep cloth with some rainbow silkworm thread. To see the magic flow...... Hmm, something like simple strength enhancement and increased magical defense. It seems simple but easy to use. If you are a student of the College, you may fail to practice witchcraft or handle drugs in alchemy, and oh, it would be best to handle a wide range of processes. A good magician's job."

That's what I say.

I think it's something that you can see that far away from me a lot, but alchemy is Lorraine's specialty.

By the way, I just feel kind of magical.

It's not like Lorraine can see the flow of magic or see the composition of the magic formation.

but there's still quite a few things I can tell.

For example, releasing magic seems hard to get through, or, you know, weapons won't stab you like just a cloth.

So that's a good uniform, I said.

But......

"... how much do you do?

"Hmm? Right...... well, if that's about it, with fifty gold coins, you can handle it? If you want the same amount of defense, it's usually cheaper to buy armor."

"Gold coin rumai......"

Lina opens her mouth to the price Lorraine lightly said.

Naturally.

Anyway, it's a lot of money.

It looks like I could stay at Affordable Lodging for about two years.

I can even pay for it now, but I still don't feel like telling you to buy it...

Well, sometimes I say I know I don't need to buy a robe simply because it's coming up extremely high performance.

I might buy it if I didn't have this.

It's also a hassle to put on and take off one piece of armor to walk around the city... the robe is fine for that matter. It's light.

If there was a problem, would it mean that if I bought that one, I would be the undelivered one who cheated on the college students?

Going to the tavern is pretty much a young woman dressed as a knight even though she's not a knight or a sister, but it's going to be close to it.

Incidentally, both can be more exposed. Well, it's a game.

In some cases real knights and sisters come and pick it off, so it's up to the owner of the tavern to add or subtract that point...

I missed the point.

"So if you're making a scene..."

Again, if you look at the boy and the pedestrian-style man,

"You, what will you do with your robe!?

A boy said that to a middle-aged man.

The man looks troubled, or with a slightly dazed look.

"... Whatever you can do, I just kind of bumped into it. I apologized for that too...... you think I should pay for it because it got a little dirty?

"Because it's dirty, it's not. I'm telling you to make amends because it's broken. You don't know this, but this is the College uniform! It is a delicacy with advanced magical workmanship. That's what you..."

"Advanced magical processing? Such a thing, though, can't possibly break as much as a little bump. Isn't it a defective product?

"This......!!

It's time for the two of us to heat up more and more, and the contention is starting to gather galleries.

Although the city of Multo is a relatively peaceful city, skirmishes between residents are everyday tea meals.

The adventurers are better behaved (...) than any other city, but if they do, their roots are the rough ones.

Every day somewhere in Malt, quarrels and fights developed from there are usually happening.

And in that case, the audience surrounds them and starts stirring up and betting......

Exactly now, the dispute between the boy and the middle-aged man was beginning to present such a spectacle.

But.

"Hey! Here, let me through!

With such a voice, the audience that began to gather, pushed them away, and one girl appeared at its center.

She, like the boy, wears a robe of fifty gold coins (Lorraine stands out) and is found to be a student of the College.

I mean, did you come to take the boy's side...?

College students are commonplace, but many of them can use witchcraft.

You can enroll even if you can't use it, but it's still easier to get in if you can use it, and a child in a house who can just pay for expensive tuition is because it's easy to have a child with family magic qualities.

Therefore, the situation where there are two "college" students is quite dangerous.

That is, for the other man, is.

The dangers of magicians are beyond words.

If you cast a little spell, you're the one who can keep your opponent on fire.

It might not be a good idea if someone doesn't intervene......

Yes, I began to think about my surroundings.

But the girl who showed up,

"Hey Noel...... Noel Kruge! You, stop selling fights to ordinary people! You're undermining the Academy's character!?

Towards the boy, I began to say so.
