Episode 370: Towers and Colleges, Sea Country

The girl who disputed the boy said he seemed to be quite patient compared to a respectable boy, or the serious atmosphere was felt from the whole.

Still something I wear besides a robe...... I also feel like a pretty young lady when I look at earrings that shake in my ears and skinny bracelets that fit in my wrist that glimpse.

"No, I hope you're financially rich. You can wear it. Magic amplification earrings, a bracelet that increases your magic defense… and a brilliant craftsmanship that isn't just effective. Is it noble?

That's what Lorraine said after just a glimpse.

If you're an adventurer, it's a trick. It's a piece of equipment that turns it into something nice for money, but there's no reason for nobility to do that.

It's normal to wear good things from the start.

That said, there are many things that require some strength just to acquire, so many of them are hard-working with decorations.

I can't help but let a powerless swordsman have a heavy and powerful sword, and even if I let an awkward magician apprentice of witchcraft have an item with a powerful magic amplification effect, I'll just let him run wild and die.

From there, I guess the girl has the strength there.

When you wear a lot of things that affect a lot of magic, it's rare that gear interferes with each other and can be terrible.

Three or so robes, earrings, bracelets, have enough power not to wake them up.

Lorraine?

Lorraine used to wear a magic ring on every finger on both hands and feet, about five earrings in one ear, about ten robes on top of each other, and a hat on her head about five steps.

You were using magic as it was to make a huge explosion...

The point is, it's a huge failure, but it's also true that it was dozens of seconds but controlled.

It's a bit of an inconceivable control in common sense, but it's a bit of a control if it can be used in action.

At a very limited time, it is inconceivable.

Well, comparing such an asshole to a girl is pathetic in many ways.

"A lot of guys who can go to The College are noble, and, well, it's not weird to have all that stuff... but... Hmm? Lina. What's wrong with you?

While the audience is talking to Lorraine, I look to the side feeling uncomfortable that Lina, who I was talking to earlier, will not utter a word.

Then there was Lina staring at the boy and the girl with the same expression taken lightly.

Pretty rare.

Anyway, Lina was a boner, and even if you saw me, you'd get used to it right away, and you'd have the nerve to work out a plan to break into the city with me.

It doesn't surprise me that easily.

Well, originally the reactions are more intense than mine or Lorraine's, so I haven't seen much of it, even though I'm not always under the impression that I'm surprised from the bottom of my mind.

Not now.

Now Lina is certainly heartfelt surprised......

I wonder what happened.

Lina looked angry at my words, but opened her mouth without shifting her gaze away from the boy and the girl.

"That girl... the girl! I just told you, he's my friend!

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... Elise Georges? Don't pinch the extra mouth. I'm just talking to this merchant right now. I don't have time to be fooling around with you."

The boy...... from the name called by the girl, Noel would be his name.

Is Elise the girl?

Noel looks at Elise like she's in trouble, and she waves like she said, "Get out of the way."

It looked like a fairly provocative manoeuvre, and Elise seemed to see it that way, making the caught eye even tougher.

"You......!!

From Elise's body, I feel an increase in magic.

Having said that, it is not the pre-magic stage, but a natural phenomenon that occurs with high emotions.

The more I can do this as a magician, the more I train her to stop saying that, because my place, the strength of magic, and the timing of releasing magic, could be perceived, but she is still just a magician apprentice, even though she will probably be good.

It won't help if it does.

But......

"... a friend of Lina's. So it's a bad situation inside, huh?

Lorraine mocks her jaw at Lina's words.

"Really? No matter how much, we won't suddenly have a sorcery fight here, and even if we start fighting, we'll figure it out, right?

Essentially, flying powerful magic all over the city is a rarity.

That is the law in Yarlan.

That is not the case in other countries, not that it is a similar basic decision in the approximate countries. Not that there are any regions that aren't.

So there was an expectation, first of all, that they would not bother to do anything against the law either.

"College" is definitely a sign of wisdom and integrity...

But that being said, there are actually usually skirmishes between adventurers or something, and the fact is that it is mostly left out until it becomes a fuss such as a monkey or a guard comes along.

The actual treatment is not going to be an issue unless it collapses a city building or massively damages a completely unrelated human being.

That's why adventurers skirmish with a cheerful face. Not that I'm completely unwilling to abide by the law, but I don't really care about anything but the very least as a person.

That's why they treat you like a rough guy.

So even if Noel and Elise fly each other's magic here, well, they can handle themselves, there's no such thing.

Also about the audience of the general public around us, it would be dangerous if they were exposed to witchcraft, but around there, Lorraine would do something about it by putting up a fence.

I can confirm that there are other adventurous magicians besides Lorraine, and they should do something about it when they have to.

That's why it was a statement because I didn't think it was such a bad situation, but Lorraine shook her head.

"Not that way. Just look at that merchant's hips thing."

"Hmm?... Oh, you belong to Ariana Free Ocean State. Are you from over there?"

There was a dagger on the merchant's hip.

It was obvious from the construction and size that it was not meant for combat, but I could see a distinctive crest engraved on the sheath area.

There were two crests lined up, but one looks familiar.

It is the seal of the Ariana Free Maritime State.

This is a depiction of the giant sea dragon that swims in the ocean.

By the way, Ariana Free Ocean State, a country with a long coastline on the coast of this continent, is primarily developed in marine trade.

By its very nature, it is a country in which there are so many merchants, but for that reason merchants from several countries show their faces.

So I don't feel comfortable with that per se... but that's what I thought, Lorraine continued.

"The other crest is an indication that you belong to Ariana's Chamber of Commerce. I don't mind if that's all, but the only thing that can give me that dagger is the one that occupies quite a place in the Chamber of Commerce. It's a pain in the ass. Well, still, if you don't even know him, you can leave him alone..."

Ariana's chamber of commerce unions do whatever it takes to make money.

It employs many skilled mercenaries and adventurers, but in addition it is also said that even assassins may be used.

I don't know how far it's true. There's a bunch of rumors creeping up, a dangerous bunch.

Normally, I don't have a problem with sticking to the rules on the front and hanging out, but I'm prepared to set things up.

Lorraine is saying that such an opponent and this situation, even though you probably haven't noticed, that you've already had a rub, is dangerous.

And Lina's friend is also about to get involved, so he also says extraordinarily that he won't be able to leave it.

"... but intervening after rubbing this far... isn't it tough?

You can go into arbitration, but Noel and the merchants aren't going to make it up to you that easily.

Become a snake, it could be any chance in our eyes.

But Lorraine,

"No... probably, I can handle it. When I saw the boy's robe earlier, I noticed. So, this is the key... Lina, should I help you?

That's what I asked Lina.

Lina nodded deeply at the words,

"If you can, can you please..."

That's what I said.
