Oh, it's Lord Alfried, isn't it?

Leaving the bedroom and walking through the third floor of the mansion, I immediately ran into Shugel.

The heart bounces in a strange way because of an unexpected encounter from the previous event.

Good morning, Shugel-sama.

“The water show yesterday was great. It's so exciting to see the light fountain flutter along with the music, and my own heart is uplifting.”

Pretending to be calm, Shugel looked very excited and shared his thoughts on the water show last night.

The sound is very hot, and the tone is a little uncomfortable.

I wonder if only magic aristocrats have a sympathy for those who have magic technology. More than when I first met her, I felt that her tone and voice were mixed with respect.

I'm glad someone as great as Schoogel feels that way, but I'm so uncomfortable now that I know his unbelievable secrets.

However, I couldn't let it out in front of Ra-chan, so I had to endure it.

“The spectacular presentation of water and light captivates people by creating fantastic spaces. In order to further develop the magic culture, I would really like to incorporate it in my magic school. Would you mind?"

Listening with a thoughtful smile, I was caught up in an unbelievable interrogation.

... um, it's been a bit of a hassle, but it seems to be a good trigger to calm down and talk to Shugel.

“It's about the water show, but can we talk to you slowly because it's a little complicated?”

"Hmm, that's right. Lana, I need to borrow Lord Alfried for a little bit.”

"Huh! I was playing with Al first!?"

It must have seemed like Lar-chan had shoogel coming in sideways.

I'm sorry I was playing with Ra-chan earlier, but there was some noise in the secret room, so I need to prioritize this one.

“I'm sorry, I'll be right back after the discussion.”

"... come back soon, okay?"

Yeah, I'll be right back.

Ra-chan backed down when I felt sorry for her.

"...... You and Rana are very close, aren't you?"

Giroli and Shoogel gaze suspiciously.

Lana-sama is very kind, so she will be nice to people like me.

"Yes, Lana is an angel!" You know Lord Alfried very well! "

I don't think you're mistakenly liked by Ra-chan. Shugel laughed contentedly.

I knew you loved Ra-chan in your letter, but it was better than I expected.

My eyes sucked when I was suspected. That's not a gaze for a seven-year-old.

In a different way, but in order to have a discussion with me, Shugel moved along the corridor to the conversation room on the third floor.

This one was a little more private than the conversation rooms on the first and second floors. Personally, I think it is easier to spend time here.

"Call me."

"Excuse me."

When Shugel prompted me, I sat down on the sofa in the center.

"So what are the complicated circumstances related to the water show...?"

As Shogel sat down opposite him, he quickly asked.

“As for the water show, I'm going to use it as part of my business with Viscount Doll, so I can't just grant permission.”

"I see. Viscount Doll was in the business of chewing too..."

Shogel nodded as he convinced himself of the situation.

All right, let's get Viscount Doll out of trouble for the water show before he's built up.

If I heard that other nobles were already involved, Shugel would give up.

"All right, let's call Viscount Doll."

“How's it going?

Shugel rings the bell on the table as I raise my stupid voice.

However, the strange sound does not resonate at all.

Instead, I perceived that a slight wave of magic power was being transmitted.

Is this also a magic tool?

"Ah, a magic tool called the silent bell." The magic vibration makes the servant tremble and understand. "

Wow, that's great. You don't have to whistle the bell in vain.

You can feel free to hire servants even in your own private space where everyone is quiet and in the middle of the night when you are sleeping. It's very convenient.

I'm not impressed. Did he tell you to call Gregor?

That's not good.

I was just making a proper effort to ruin the water show. If you're really called, you'll have to prepare a real reason.

While I was in a hurry to turn my face pale, the door was knocked on and the butler came in.

"Viscount Doll's Trends"

“If you're Viscount Doll, you've been in the capital for about three days to attend Count Barnard's party.”

I was wondering how Gregor could have known immediately... but I wonder if the magic soldiers stationed at each gate are losing their information just like us.

So, why are you only in the capital at a time like this?

I thought you were making a lot of preparations in your territory to get ready for the puppet show.

"Get me here right now."

Got it.

The butler nodded at Shugel's order and quickly withdrew.

The decision is too quick to stop. But we should still be able to make it.

Ah, you really want to call Viscount Doll?

"That's right, if you want to hear it, you can summon them." Easy. I'm close to Count Barnard. Even if the party is going to be absent, I'll just have to put in a word. ”

Asked, Schoogel told her clearly.

There was no irresponsibility or circumstance. There is only absolute upper class common sense.

Maybe if Gregor wasn't in the King's City, Shugel would have summoned him out of the realm and called him in.

Father Nord, who was always desperate to write, seemed a bit pathetic.

So this is what it means to hit with power.

Master Alfried, are you okay with the blue face?

“I'm sorry, I think I'm getting a little chilled.”

I'm not feeling very well, so I'll discuss it again today...

Well, let's get him a hot drink.

Before continuing his words, Shugel rang the bell of the magic tool and called the servant.

Why are the people around me so imposing and full of action?

I can't think of a way to escape first.

I'm not expecting you to call Gregor if you try to turn him down before he gets here.

I was just trying to wrap myself in smoke because it was too much trouble for the duke. There is no business.

There's no way I can say that.

As soon as this happens, I have to think about a project that involves Gregor's puppet show and the water show...

As I drank the warm tea that the maid brought me, I kept spinning my head desperately.
