Mr. Bodley, huh?

His Majesty's Birthday was the first time I met him as court magician.

I was very excited about the chiffon cake I made in Refining.

Looks like he was away from King's Landing for business here, but he's back.

He invited me to the magic bureau and was told in a letter that he wanted to hear about "refining" and all kinds of magic.

"What do you want to do, Leticia?

Lucien asked bewittingly.

"It might be a little troublesome to see Leticia's magic skills directly. Should I decline the invitation to the magic bureau for a good reason?

"You don't have to. Even if I refuse once, I don't think they'll give up either...."

I have a tea party between Natalie and Kate.

Because I wanted to do what I could for this country while living at ease.

The relationship between the bodres and the court sorcerer could not be avoided.

"That's why I'm accepting this invitation."

"I understand. Now, I'll get ready for weapons and stuff."

"Armed weapons... No, I don't think that's necessary this time."

I laugh bitterly.

The most impressive magicians for Lucian are my brothers.

The two older oniisama often taught me magic lessons.

You put it on me...

It was quite a sparta, a whip of love.

Beginning with the basic theory of magic, we moved to practical training.

The second oniisama was practicing swordsmanship, so she made full use of magic and swordsmanship to stop.

I was working with the third oniisama and Lucian to get through the strokes of the first two oniisama.

Thanks to that, Lucien, your weapons and dark weapon skills have increased dramatically...

"Not all magicians are like oniisama."

"... yes. I understand that many times, but here... Do you feel anxious if you don't have a weapon?"

"... I know how you feel..."

Lucien and I are going to be far away.

Until then, Oniisama's magic training was scratchy and left a nail trail.

"Ah, Leticia, are you going out now?

Leaving the entrance to the Away Palace, the Shibaido Knight... came to Keith.

"Yeah. I was invited to the magic bureau. Is Keith in charge of my security today?

"Yes! If you're heading to the Magic Bureau, I'd like to make it even more exciting!

Keith declared his tail straight.

He was holding his spear tightly, as if he had enough temper.

With Keith in his seat, he began to shake by the carriage.

The magic bureau was in the royal castle, but it was quite a distance away.

Like my separation, the magic bureau is right at the edge of the castle.

"It's easy to understand....."

The location of the magic bureau remains unchanged, reflecting the position of the bureau in this country.

Compared to the kingdom of Eltoria, where I was born and raised, there were fewer magicians in this country.

The sense of presence in national politics is also small, and it seems likely to be driven to the corner.

That's the magic bureau building.

A brick building that followed the forest behind it.

There's still time until the invited time, so get off the carriage a little in front of you and walk around.

The building is surrounded by empty space.

To experiment with or practice magic?

A table is installed to place a magic catalyst.

Imagine what kind of experiment you're doing.

"Hey, you."

I can talk from behind.

Turning around, there was a young man.

Same age as Lucian, maybe a little older?

The costume looks like a magician, wearing a dark blue cape over a collar.

A slightly longer black forehair was dropping a shadow to the eyes.

"What are you doing here?

"I was visiting the magic lab. As a magician, I wondered what kind of experiments I was doing."

"You're the one who set up the experiment...?

It looks like the young man is frowning and squirming.

My green eyes are pointing towards Keith behind me.

"Are you really a magician? You're bringing a beast with you like that?

"... what is it?"

Keith opened his mouth as he groaned.

Young people are also pointing their fingers at the belligerent Keith.

"What's wrong with me?

I just have a question.

"Do you doubt Leticia's words?

"... Master Leticia...?

Young people are increasingly wrinkling between their eyebrows.

"I don't think so. I hear that Leticia is from the kingdom of Eltoria. There's no way she could have put a beast next to her. What is the purpose of deceiving Lady Leticia?

If you don't use magic, the young man lifts his arm.

Keith holds the spear in his hand accordingly.

It was in an instant condition.

"Both of you, please calm down. I am certainly Leticia."

Looking around the laboratory while pausing the two of them.

Spacious and empty.

Yeah, I don't think that's a problem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standing tongue tip, burning heat here now!!

I practiced my magic and chanted a spell.

The flame was born, and the tip of the tongue was stretched, and it rose about ten meters high, and burned red and vigorously.

"... without a catalyst for advanced magic, shorten the chant...?

The young man was hit on the cheek by the hot air and his eyes were open.

"Now did you recognize me as a magician and a Reticcia?

"... ahh"

The young man nodded to my question.
