Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

The announcement of the magic meter was officially decided.

Since the due date is still being adjusted, I don't know the exact date, but it is almost certain that it will be unveiled soon.

It was Polk Nadar's war that made the royal announcement final.

After all, that battle did not leave the realm of rebellion and civil strife caused by the nobles in the country, and the audience is not good.The royal family decided to use this announcement to dispel the scandal of a "rebellious country" and to impress strongly that the matter was "an imperial plot and a runaway of nobility" and that the kingdom is still one of the mighty.

The invention of the magic meter is innovative.The story of the little rebellion of the nobility will make Su-ku disappear.After all, the magical magician of the Kingdom of Rhinol promised to become even stronger.This announcement will make the foreign countries aware of it, and the other countries that were trying to get into the machine should be forced to change their policies.

Enemies can feed the magicians of the kingdom if they succeed.

Even in friendly countries, buying the kingdom's rebellion will frustrate negotiations for the introduction of a magic meter.

We will have to fundamentally change our diplomatic strategy towards the Kingdom of Rhinol, and for the time being, we will be hesitant to make a bad mess of the Kingdom anywhere and everywhere.

This announcement also contributes to domestic cohesion.

Against the backdrop of strong military power, nobles will not leave the kingdom so easily, nor will they be willing to rebel.

It is something that strongly plants on them to be the second dance of the Polk Nadar.

This announcement also includes such intentions.

Even here, I didn't think the timing was bad.

I've already moved out, so it's a good time, and I can prepare for it.

However, it seems that the producer's announcement will be postponed, and the brand of incompetence cannot be removed yet.This is because there is a temptation that the fame of the producer will increase after the benefits of the magic meter have spread.

Therefore, the producer's announcement will be one year, two years in advance.

I was wondering if the royal family would try a lot, but there can't be such a sweet story.

There was one request from Seiran.

"--Are you making magic?

"That's right. I expect you to create something powerful and magical.It wouldn't be so hard if it were you. "

Seiran called me to the royal castle and offered me that.

"You are the maker of the Magic Meter.It has already been decided to leave that name in the kingdom.Then you will also need Hua as a magic teacher.Create magic that everyone can watch and become a magician. "

"I understand."

"That's a good answer. I expect more from you."

... In that way, although I agreed to Seiran's instructions, there was no such plan.

Powerful magic can't be made that easily.

That's why it's hard not to say "I can't" on the spot.

That's the situation. If your superiors tell you, you have to understand.

The problem in making it is still the amount of magic.Since I have only the magic of the magician of Ichii, I cannot first create magic that consumes a large amount of magic, and even if I try to make it, I will run out of magic quickly, so it will take time to make magic.

First, I thought it was a prerequisite to explore a technique to eliminate this, but I didn't think I'd be able to find magic on a larger scale sooner.

"... it's getting late."

After hearing about Seiran and leaving the royal castle, the day had already fallen by visiting the Mage's Guild to coordinate the announcement.

Wang Dynasty is basically bright thanks to the popularity of brilliant glass, but it is still not as bright as the "brightness of the city" that I know.In the man's world, most places are bright with lots of lights and lights leaking from the windows of the house, but once you step into the alley, you quickly hit a dim spot.

Lanterns are still indispensable on the night streets.

It was when I turned the corner, thinking like that.

A shadow was seen in the darkness behind the alley.

Standing in the middle of the road, standing in the way of those who pass through the alley.

There are no lights in this place, just standing there is nothing but chaos.

You stay away from danger.I hate to make contact and bypass, but since it is my home soon, it was difficult to go that far.

Raise the lantern as you walk and gaze.

Someone standing in the alley is wearing a hood and doesn't know his face.

The back length is roughly between 160 and 170.

What is characteristic of this is its launch.The clothes that can be seen from under the jacket remind me of elegant kimonos with the use of colors that make me feel Japanese rather than Japanese.

You're the one chased after the city.I think he looks pretty prominent to a suspicious person.

A man or a woman... can't tell from the appearance because of clothing that doesn't clearly undulate.

Weird or suspicious.

If we try to stray to the edge of the road with vigilance, the other side will look as if they are closing the distance.

Then is it harmful?

... but this is the noble quarter of King's City.It's not normal to think of harming a nobleman in a place like that, but there are exceptions to that.

Assuming the worst case scenario, be aware of the sword placed on your hips so as not to become unnatural.I will pick up all the magic that is appropriate for this occasion.Don't forget to pay attention to the surroundings, considering that it is a pigeon.

Then,

"Master."

Someone with a hood in his eyes called out like that.

--Master, again.I do remember that strange name being said to Chain one day.

I was a little surprised that Chain used the same name that he mentioned, but anyway.

The voice sounded as cool as a silver bell.

First of all, you must be a woman.

If we don't respond to the call, the Hood woman will call again.

"Master."

"... is that what you're telling me?

Saying so openly, the Hood woman lowered her tone of voice step by step, as if she had made a mistake.

"... I'm sorry.Looks like there was still a little excitement to find the mentor.I beg your indulgence. "

The hoodie quietly knelt on the spot.

We cannot hide our confusion at the sudden act.

Such a thing is as complimentary as being in front of your master.No matter how aristocratic this is, I am still only a child.I don't remember doing such a thing, but rather, the suspicion is only getting worse.

Pull out your sword and poke it at the hoodie.

That's a mess.

"I understand there's nothing I can do about it.But first, I want you to listen to me. "

…………

Normally, you don't have to listen to people who do this kind of ambush.

But, Master... if you say that word to Chain, it's a different story.

There is a possibility that she has something to do with the Spirit, and if not, there is no denying that she knows something she does not know.

"May I ask you something?

"Very well. First, get away from me.Then we'll talk. "

That said, the Hood woman obeys orders with great care.

Stand up and step back.

I can't see my legs carrying them because I wear a long kimono.I can't hear you stepping on the cobblestones in the alley or scratching.However, the upper body is firm without shaking, so the trunk is definitely solid.

Keep your gaze off the woman and focus while we distance ourselves.

One step. It's still dangerous.

One more step. The sense of crisis is still not far off.

One more step. I can still see the vision of being slashed with a step.

(... what, the time is so wide)

From the movement, measure the time between the hoodie.Recently, I have come to realize that such ambiguity is somehow due to my dealings with Crave and Noah, as well as my experience with Nadar.

If you want to get out of the woman's time, you will probably have to be far enough away to need a proper volume to talk.

Is this because of a woman's skill or because of her physical abilities?

Soon the woman will ask for confirmation.

"Is this okay?

"Not yet. Use your magic."

As soon as I say so, I use magic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used magic that temporarily improves my physical abilities.

If you combine [focus] on this, you won't be able to do most of it.

When you take a quick step on the spot to check the movement of your body, the hoodie's mouth feels as if she sees something smiling.

"You must be very vigilant."

"Of course. You're a suspicious person to me.You don't know what you're going to do, so it's only natural that you stay on your feet. "

"No, I'm not going to hurt you at all."

When the hoodie said so, she named herself.

"First of all, I would like to say hello.My name is Ashra of the Hyoga tribe. "

"Hyoga? I'm sure the Hyoga tribe..."

Did you know about the clan?

With a puzzling expression on her unexpected words, the woman takes a hood that hides her face.

What appeared there was a breathtaking beauty.

Small nose on a neat nose, thin lips.Under the eyes of the chisel, there is one crying beauty that is common to all worlds.The age is uncertain, but it is in the range of strange ages.The fineness of the skin seems to be unrelated to that of the product.Long black hair has a shiny hair clasp, and black hair emits a glossy color that is also called winning color.

She's an incredible beauty. I've never seen anything so beautiful.Absolute. Inclination. Such words are very similar to beauty.There was such a miraculous shape that could only be created by painting and other creations.

--Hyoga. It is said to live in the highlands stretching from the northeast of the Kingdom to the edge of the Northern Union.

Those who live in the Neutral Zone, without belonging to any country, have exchanges with the kingdom, and the textiles and goods they make are distributed to the King's City.

Their physical features are the presence of small horns growing at the top of the forehead and around the hairline.In general, the Hyoga are said to have horn-like projections from their foreheads.

Raise the lantern high. Her hair didn't stand out, but this woman named Ashla also had a protrusion like a small horn about 1cm long.

... even in the male world, there are cases where things made and exfoliations hardened and turned into horn-like things.They appear basically in one or an asymmetric form, so it can be described as sudden changes, but this was also different from that because something like bone was growing in contrast.

Whatever its beauty, it raises questions.

"What the hell is that Hioga Ashra doing to me, my noble child?

"This time, as soon as I ask the master to say hello,"

"I don't know, but how many times does the priest have to come all the way to the King's City to say hello?

"You're right."

"It's a mistake. Goodbye."

I put my sword in my sheath and tried to leave the scene.

I still can't decide what her intentions are.

In the first place, it is questionable how you identified yourself as the mentor.

I need to see it first.

If you show me how to leave, there will be some kind of approach.

"Please wait. I have proof."

"Where are you?

Probably on your left arm.

"Ha...?

Follow me and I'll raise the devil's lost voice.Why are you talking about your left arm there?

My left arm is now wrapped around a bandage.Are you saying that you are wearing a bandage as evidence?If the person injured in the left arm is the mentor, the reason is that it is not too bad.

But Ashra seems to be taking it very seriously.

That calm down, you don't look like you're messing with us at all.

When I asked you what it was like,

"Before we talk about it, there's one thing I'd like to ask you.Are you familiar with the Clay Prophecy?

"I know. And stop being a mentor.Don't assume that you don't understand. "

"Well, may I call you Arch-sama?"

"You know my name too...."

That means you can assume that our identity has already been broken.

After that, it seems that contact with the customer has come after preparing quite a bit.

"Yes, Arks is identical to the characteristic of the leader of our Hyoga people, written in the prophecy of Kraki."

"Who leads the Hyoga?

"This is what the prophecy says.The teacher was a young man with silver hair and red eyes. "

"It's a characteristic of the Rayseft family.And if you're looking for someone with silver hair and red eyes, you'll find someone in other countries. "

"You're right.In doing so, I would like to show you my left arm.If you are a priest, it is also marked with a phoenix pattern. "

"Feng..."

For a moment, when I heard Ashra's words, my heart jumped big.

There is no pattern on my left arm like she says.

I don't have such a thing, but I have a mole similar to it.The other day, when Sue treated me, I finally realized it.

What is this strange match?

"He has a Phoenix pattern on his left arm.It will give peace to the clan. "

…………

Certainly, this mole doesn't even look that way.

I can't even see it, but are you going to believe such an uncertain thing?

... apparently he was unconsciously looking at the part with the mole.

"You're still right about the prophecy."

"... it's just similar."

When she dresses and shows Arshra, she shows an emotional expression that makes her happy that the prophecy has hit her.

"Ahh... sure."

"Anything is a coincidence.Besides, it's like.... "

--Are you really the one who comes out in fairy tales?

But Arshra shook her head so loudly that she could dispel our denial.

"But not many people have the same characteristics.Perhaps there is a mistake.Besides, does Master Arcs have any idea what he might call a master?Otherwise, you won't have to listen to me. "

"... there may be no mistake in matching the characteristics.But how can you be so sure?Ordinary prophecy is uncertain, right?

"No, everything in Kraki's prophecy is relevant to what happens in the future."

"That's what they say....."

"In fact, it has been told that it has been true until now."

"...?

"We, the Hyogas, have survived all the hardships of the 42 clans under the guidance of our former master."

"So you're expecting that from me, too, that matches the story?

"... is. I know it's brazen to suddenly appear in front of you and tell you to guide and help, but this is also in the prophecy."

She seems to be aware of being generous.

In other words, it would have been necessary to make contact after saying that.

In the first place, I don't often believe such things unconditionally - but the prophecy is absolute to those who believe in it.In fact, as she says, the sentences that are said to be written in Clarky's prophecy for humans in this world are recognized as events that will certainly happen in the future.

This is one of the reasons why the magicians are trying to decipher it.

The spiritual chain of Kuriku also suggested that when standing on his dream pillow, the contents would become real.

Let's assume this story is true.

Still, it is.

"Suddenly even if they ask me to lead them, I don't have the power to do anything."

"I wonder if we'll be able to do that from now on."

"So, if you're in a position to do that, why don't you help me?Is that what you need in the first place?

"Yes. We, the Hyogas, have travelled to various places as landless people at milestones in history.A safe haven is a grief for us. "

"Do you live in a part of the Ramacan Plateau and the Cross Mountains in the northeast?"

"We moved a dozen years ago and started living where we are today, but there are many things that don't fit.The climate and the terrain are fine. "

And then, it's hard to live on the land, so the first thing to do is go up.

"Does the water not suit you?

"Yes, that's right."

Changes in drinking water are one of the causes of ill health that occurs when land changes.

Because it doesn't suit my constitution, I develop hives.Skin gets rough. I get hungry.

"... I don't think you need to rely on me.If you care about that, do you think you can easily get one or two of the big territories?

"Ha, Arks, you're right."

Although the Hyoga do not have territory, they have a high combat capability, and even though they are a small nation, their strength is comparable to that of a small country.

Therefore, it is said that countries are constantly working to welcome chiefs as dukes and to bring them into combat.

Of course, that is no exception to the Kingdom of Rhinol.

When she talked to Ashra like that, she said,

"But this is not the case if the territory or the title given to you by those sentiments leads to a secure settlement.In that case, it is the general idea of the family that we should wait for the prophecy to appear. "

"Which one is better, or should I call you?Well, it's a cheap pie. "

"I'm really sorry for your rudeness."

Just don't try to hide that you're going to use us, okay?

Instead, we don't have to touch a kid like this unless he's tied up in a prophecy.

Perhaps it bothers their minds how to deal with this matter.

"I understand that it is too thick.But, please.Of course, I don't think it's a good idea for us to just rely on...If a mentor asks, the Hyoga promise to help the mentor with all the forces of the clan.I don't want to make an oath of obedience to that evidence..... "

Ashra suddenly said such a thing.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

It is troublesome for me to do such a thing suddenly.

If we make a deal like that, we'll have to cooperate in the end.

This is like carrying an incredible bomb.It doesn't matter if it explodes in a place you don't know, but if you try to explode with it in your arms, you won't be spared a lot of damage.The blame is on us too.You can't afford it.

"I told you, it's too soon."

"Can you believe it?"

"Of course. In the first place, it's not clear whether or not the statement actually exists just by listening to it unilaterally.In fact, you don't know where that statement is, do you?

"That's...."

Ashra shuts up.

After all, it's just been dictated that it's written, and it doesn't actually seem to have been read and found by [Clark's Prophecy].

That's what I said.

Chain talked to me about how to call me a teacher, and the bruises on my arm are consistent with the contents of the prophecy.

Perhaps Ashra is right.

But I ask myself if I can believe it unconditionally, being cautious at the bottom of my heart.Is it really right to believe unconditionally in the uncertainty of prophecy?

In other words, it is proof that it is influenced by that man's life.

Besides,

"... why did you just show up in front of me?

"The first time I saw Arks was at a discussion ceremony.We thought it would be difficult if contact was delayed. "

"Why did you think that?

"The more you go up, the easier it will be to get in touch."

"That's what I'm gonna do?

"If you were given the Silver Cross at this age, it would be easy to imagine what would happen in the future."

"... is there only one way to speak up now?"

Certainly, I want a firm position as a wizard.If that were possible, she would not be able to come into contact with the taste.

It's not as stuck as it is now, but I understand why I came to the conclusion that contact should be made sooner.

Anyway, what should I do?

First of all, it would be strictly forbidden to engage in secrecy.As I just thought, you could have a bomb.

That said, it would be a mistake to refuse without a head.The fact that it has the same name as the spiritual chain of the Kuriku cannot deny the possibility of having an important relationship in the future.

The central point of this story is still the existence of the prophecy.Whether it is chaotic in that man's world or not, it is a book that writes the truth and the facts in this world.It's better not to have bad preconceptions.

Well, then.

"... unless you believe me or not, I'll remember you."

"Ha-ha. That's enough for now.Thank you for your flexibility. "

That said, Ashra approaches the edge of the road.As if he were a minister kneeling before the king's path.Does that teacher mean that much to you?

(Master...?If that's true, it might be like that.)

Thinking like that, for a while after passing the road.

Looking over your shoulders.

Ashra remained on her knees.Don't move like a plaster statue.

Arcs turned his gaze back and went straight home.

●

After Arcs left the alley.

Arshra, who was kneeling at the edge of the alley, stood up and stared at where Arks had disappeared for a while.

Located in the valley of the building, the alley is already darkened and only the moonlight stands out.

Anywhere she is, she will be wrapped in darkness.

Ashla took out Cantella and set fire to the lamp core.

The alley walls are illuminated by the blurry flame color, and a big shadow emerges.

While the photographer stood up, the darkness, which was not covered by the light of the light, became even darker.

After that, Ashra looked up at someone and called out to them.

"- Yahanni, are you there?

The person called reacts to her assertions.

A corner of an alley where there is no light from the lights.From the darkness, someone wearing a hood appeared lukewarm.

He was shorter than Ashra, but, like her, stood up wearing a windshield coat over an elegant kimono.Respond to Ashla with the hood under her eyes.

"Is that the master?It's called a bruise on the arm, and the appearance is as legendary as it says. "

"Yes, it seems to have occurred to me, and I'm sure of it."

"He denied it to the best of his ability?

Yahanni's flirtatious remarks have nothing to do with Arshra's complexion.

"As it stands, you'll have to do it.It's a lot easier when you think about your age. "

"I guess so.I wasn't talking about having a kid my age. "

The same goes for vigilance.From Arshra's eyes, and from Yahanni's, Arks' standing and behavior did not seem appropriate for his age.

Ashla says to Yahanni, shrugging her shoulders.

"Study Arks carefully.To the extent that you are not disrespectful, there is a condition. "

"Are you sure?Aren't you more alert if you sneak too far behind?

"First of all, we must familiarize ourselves with the Master.Otherwise, I don't even know what would be disrespectful. "

"In order not to disturb the mood of the master, I checked the surroundings.So, to the extent that it's not disrespectful, is that okay?

"Yes, it is."

It's hard.

That said, I am confident that I can do it without saying "I can't."

"I wonder if such a child really is such a monk... who is a monk in the Chronicle?

"Yahanni, you doubt the legend?

Yahanni answered Arshra's sharp gaze with a shrill tone.

"I've been told the prophecy since I was a kid that there was a hole in my ear, but when I saw the actual thing, I wondered what it was like."

"Didn't you see that?

"I can't see.Does Miss Ashra look that way?

…………

To Yahanni's question, but the answer is not answered.

Ashra is a faithful woman among the Hyogas.Yahanni knew very well that he believed in the legend.

"Are you sure you want to follow the legend?As the minister said, it's not hard to steal a country if you care. "

"Doing so would violate the prohibitions set by our ancestors."

"I think it's strange that you're going to destroy your family according to the code."

…………

Yahanni is right, the Hyoga are on the decline.

This is also because there are no settlements, but one of the reasons is that the state adjacent to the current settlement is under pressure and has recently developed into a skirmish.

Sit down and wait according to the legend for the survival of the clan, and if it is to be destroyed on the contrary, it will fall.

Like Yahanni, there were many who were worried about the status quo.

"Certainly, many people think the code is as old as you.That means we're being hunted down. "

"This time, it has been reinforced.Anyway, it was pretty cute or something. "

Yahanni smelled something that seemed unworthy of relying darkly, and Arshra shook her head to deny it.

Well, you disagree with me.

"Well, what did Ashra see?

"The appearance was certainly cute, but the contents are authentic.Looking at my slight work, it seems I saw the time. "

"Ah, after all, that's what it was like.I see. The Silver Cross Award is not Date. "

However, even with all that credit, Yahanni did not think that Arc was worthy of a mentor.

It's probably because the original image and the impression of Arcs are very different.

As Yahanni stays silent, Arshra opens her mouth.

"Lift. And contact him as scheduled."

"Do you really want him to do this?

"Yes, I'm sure you're qualified.Keep that in mind. "

"I understand."

After that exchange, they disappeared into the darkness of King's Landing.
