Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

That's how we came back to school.

It was just half a month away, but it was surprising to me that I hadn't felt for a long time.

They went so far in class, too. It can be hard to catch up. Mostly, for Amu.

Whatever it is, it's best to be peaceful.

****

It was the day after I got back that I went to see the school director.

"Well done, both of you"

Me and Mabel entered the room, and the school director said so with a full grin.

"I didn't expect the winner of the first general martial arts tournament to be remembered to leave our school. My nose is high, too. Well, I don't know if there's a second time... anyway, you did a great job with the Ramprog's. And Mabel. The semi-finals are a big fight. It was a shame school students hit each other. If the blocks were different, we could have been after the semi-finals."

After winding up in a breath, the school director puts it down a little and adds:

"Except you're just students. What's the real deal with the students? Yes, I'm studying. This one will foil your background somewhat, but that's all. If you get confused, they'll leave you around in no time. Especially Mabel"

Mabel, who was called by name, asks back, bewildered.

"... me?

"At the convenience of Atashi and the others, I left school for half a month early in school. It's hard to catch up. Especially in your case, the notes... hey. Lady Lamplog and her squire did well there, so you should tell me."

Mabel blinked a few times as bewildered, then nodded in a crease.

The school director smiles and rings his hand.

"Well. I'm sorry you came home early. You should rest today in case you start tomorrow. Oh, Ramprog's. Will you stay a little while?

I lay my eyes silent. [M]

Mabel seemed a little lost, but eventually one, left the dean's office.

……

……

Even after the door closed, me and the school director remained silent.

Eventually.

By the time Mabel walked away from the front of the room, the school director finally opened his mouth.

"Well, don't you have something to ask Atashi?

"... right"

I exhaled one thing.

I see.

If it's coming from that way, why don't we stop imitating the roundabout?

Tell him with a smile.

"Is this satisfying? Dean of the School"

"Hmm. What do you mean?

"Mabel's failure to make it to the final broke the muscle that makes the brave man look dead. I mean, I'm glad."

The school director looks at me with a narrower eye.

"If you know that much, the question of whether you're satisfied is odd. The prospect of Atashi and the others has fallen off."

I thought it was strange.

I keep walking around the room.

"For muscle writing, I don't need two school recommendation frames. I shouldn't have had to compete. Well, if that's all it is, it's also to delude the unnaturalness that only one freshman is chosen for. Caution is important. It's just... a lot of caution, though."

…… What's going on?

"Since I heard Crain's family name, I've been wondering and asking my parents. I wonder what kind of house it is. Naturally, I didn't get much information. The fact that he is a magic researcher and has many people from the school faction. That it's actually an old household pattern. And then... was it about how much I adored Mabel, who I recently adopted? Buy a bunch of dresses, take them out to the social world, hire a painter to make them portrait...... the disguise would be important, but I needed to get this far to my daughter who wasn't far away from dying, did I? It's like we're really going to be adopted."

The school director blurs with his head.

"Absolutely. They're... they're too floating. I stabbed so many nails..."

"From the beginning the school and beyond, I wasn't willing to go along as muscled. Putting Mabel in my hand was the purpose."

I go on.

"Though we made the condition that we would not be responsible for the outcome of the match...... the Luglok Chamber of Commerce would not have allowed Mabel to lose outside the final. Because I needed to finish Kyle's exam. So naturally, he also put his mouth out on the tournament table. I checked the contestant's background and placed him on Kyle's side where dangerous candidates like Reynas would surely win. Mabel made it to the finals in due course, where she lost and was supposed to die. But they wouldn't have expected it... I can't believe my client, the school, would bump into me enough ghost bills to knock me down to Kyle"

……

"So if you say what the school gets, Mabel is the only one. Perhaps the Lugloke Chamber of Commerce did not lend Mabel like a mercenary, but sold the school heh? It's also weird to tell people who are going to die in the finals to return them later. I would have put about a clause to dispose of when they escaped...... I didn't envisage losing and surviving etc. Then he poked there and tried to get her by letting me defeat Mabel. Is this the place?

After much silence, the school director sighed and said.

"He was licked."

……

"'I'm not responsible for Mabel's game results'. If you don't do what Atashi and the others think, you won't get your money back. Then they put their own mercenaries on the field, and if they were willing to win and sell their names, Mabel would raise the commission because there was a chance they would win. Brave men are an important factor in determining the trend in this country... and they know how sweet the empire is today. That's why I used you to break their nose columns, right? They take Mabel away, they lose confidence, and they'll be scattered over there. It feels good."

"... you didn't think I'd lose to Mabel or Kyle?

"Atashi is still alive for a long time."

The school director distorts the edge of his mouth.

"As much as the power of that person is, it is quite clear. Your talent... will be comparable to that of a brave man. Besides, I already have quite a bit of power in my hands. It's horrible. If you're bad, you're more than brave... No, I don't think so. There's no way in this world there's a talent beyond the brave."

"... well, I don't care about that. There's only one question I'd like to ask."

I say quietly.

"What are you going to let Mabel do?

……

"You didn't plan this just to make Lugloke blow a bubble, did you? Getting Mabel, that should have made sense in itself. What's that?

The dean says, laughing all the time.

"What are you going to do when you ask?

"Nothing. For pathetic reasons, I just think it's pathetic. I just have some in-laws... so if there's anything I can do for you, I might."

"Ha ha, that's horrible. So what reason would you imagine?

I frown and answer.

"To consolidate protection from within the school, is it? Hiring a guard soldier doesn't even grasp the inside of the school. Weren't we going to need someone to protect Amu in the student's shoes more than an intermediate could possibly be sent as an enrolled student?

"I see, that's good. It's just that in the future, the Demon Clan's attention is going to be off campus, right? The thickness of the school's talent could be hustled by your victory, which obviously does not match the contents of the Manifesto. The fact that one assassin and another disappeared last year somehow would no longer be the work of the brave."

"... if you say no, what the hell"

The school director, after a lot of silence.

I lay down my eyes and told him to whine.

"He was pitiful."

……

"You don't believe me. But it's true. There's nothing left to shake any more."

The school director starts talking.

"At first, the officials were about to drop this plan. Although we have finally found the brave Shadow Man candidate, we can't help but let him win. Kick the terms of the chamber of commerce with a licking attitude and try to put this proposal back on the blank. Atashi agreed with that, too. But Mabel and I changed our minds."

……

"A gifted child. But he looked as if he had tasted every misfortune in the world. I can't help it because the brother of the fruit I admired is going to kill me. It's just that she told Atashi to try to win. I want to make it easier for my brother, who has changed. I use my privileged talents to kill flesh and blood, so you tell me to use myself. With dead eyes. That's when Atashi thought," This is wrong. "

……

"So I convinced the officials, attached a contract with the Chamber of Commerce, and figured out a way to use a ghost tag named Seika Lamplog for that kid who would never abstain. That's one of the things that put my squire's lady on the list. Didn't you wonder how anxious she might be if she resigned? It's one of the techniques used by merchants."

The school director continues.

"If you live long, you lose obsession from all sorts of things. to gold, honor and power, and also to raw itself. But I can hardly let go of my obsession with doing something for others. Maybe that's why you're in this position. You don't know that yet."

"No......"

I cut the word.

I picked up an orphan and made him a disciple in my previous life, probably similar to this guy.

An obsession with the power I once had.

By reincarnation, no, I lost it by losing to my beloved apprentice.

I exhale and ask.

"Mabel was worried that an assassin would be sent from Lugloke. It would be angry to lose Kyle over there, and you wouldn't abandon Mabel, who knows the inside line?

"You can't possibly not have hit your hands as hard as that. Crain is a baroness, but he has a roomy family and a thick connection to the court, plus his wife is the Duke's three daughters. Speaking of adopted children, it is ruin to wait for Luglok if you have their son in your hands. That's why I seem to have piled up the money and asked for it to be handed over... but they said they put the money in front of the door. Well, you won't have to worry."

Plus, the school director adds.

"It was in the last few years that Luglok began to gain strength. If those who were motivated accidentally fell to their feet, they would be cowardly. You're going to be making a big deal out of this for a while."

"Really? Then... it doesn't look like I have anything to do."

"What are you talking about?"

The school director tells me like I'm stunned.

"It's natural that you don't have to be frightened of assassinations. What matters is how you live in time. She's going to start a school life she's not used to. A lot of help and snacks. As a senior."

"That's all I know."

That's what I said, I turned my heel back.

I'll be done talking about it now.

Sigh inside.

Now that I think about it, I still shouldn't have gone in deep.

Decline to appear and spend nothing to do with Mabel's death or the school director's thoughts. That should have been the best result for me.

You can say that losing unwanted curiosity is a failure.

I just... didn't regret it.

Huh.

One small question came to mind. I look back at the school director.

"By the way... you said you lived a long time, but how many teachers are you actually?

"Ask a woman how old she is. You're a wild hungry ghost. As much as you want me to tell you about the year of Atashi."

The school director told me to throw up.

"I'm not counting from 300."
