The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat
Episode Twenty: Assassins Apologize
After all, I couldn't apologize to Epona.
I was about to apologize in the classroom the next day, but she was called on another assignment, and she left school.
Now Epona alone.
We are not even called out, even though the school director has ordered us to be friends with the brave, no, the brave, and to give that support.
...... I may have dropped my rating above in the fight against the oak.
Originally not counted as a force of war, it is a chain that binds the brave, but is likely to have been judged too intrusive.
It's a lunch break, eating in the courtyard.
The tea-making tart was playing a nose song.
"Is your body okay now?
"It's just that. I've been healing Master Lug all night."
The tart is making a force kobu.
She's right, I've enhanced my self-healing all night, and my injuries are healing.
Nevertheless, I should have been in a mental shock, and I should still be tired, and I was worried about you.
Tart, however, has been making lunches since morning as usual and is sifting fine.
"I'm relieved. Are you sure you're all right?
"Yes, it's just that. I took an unconsciousness yesterday. I'll work out more so that won't happen again! We need to use the eyes that Master Lug gave us."
Was there magic with the temper, and the light leaked slightly even with every color contact?
"I think I'll have those eyes, too"
Dia looked jealously at Tart's eyes.
"I need to think about it for a second. Though I'm sure the eyes of Tower Harde are handy, before I get used to it, the magic drips away. Dia has more magic, but if it's a fight like this before, she lacks magic. The eyes that consume magic may not fit."
"Ugh, maybe I don't really have the magic to turn to my eyes. But when I work out, I want to keep it because I can only use it when I want to. And Rugg said that even if you can't use magic, you can't compare it to normal eyes."
"That's right"
"Then I still want it. Besides, if we're gonna get that eye anyway, we need to get used to it a little faster.... but it's strange, isn't it? Tart is a lot less magic than I am, but it doesn't fall. If you can't get used to it, it's weirder to stay decent."
That's Dia, have you noticed this unnaturalness?
"Oh, is that it? I was getting a little bit of magic from Master Rugg. Lately, it's finally a lot more controllable, and it's less frequent."
Dia looks at my face and smiles.
It's a scary grin anyway.
... Shit. He had stopped Tart because it was Towahade's secret, but he didn't tell him not to tell Dia in his body.
"Hey, Lug. I haven't heard of a magic supply. If you can do that, why didn't you do it in yesterday's fight? Then I could have been more active."
"It's the secret of Towahade. I can't do it in public."
I'm not lying.
Although I hide what I can't do in public in a different way.
"Yeah...... but how is that possible? Combining the wavelengths of magic is technically difficult but not impossible.... maybe even the accuracy of Lug's magic control will diminish to about 20%. Oh, but wouldn't it bother you if Lug's magic was near infinity? The problem is how to communicate it. Direct contact is mandatory.... If you want to increase conduction efficiency and yet prevent the transformation of magic combined with wavelengths, oh, you have to... I mean, that's what you're saying. It's just a tart."
The only word I had was to give you magic, and you got to the right answer.
This is why Dia is scared.
"Hey, Lug. I want to do a lot of magic exercises that use a lot of magic, but I'm losing my magic right now, and I've been having trouble practicing at all."
"Okay. I'll give you as much magic as you like."
"Yay. Heh. Looking forward to it. You can practice magic all you want, and you can kiss Lug.... Well, if Lug is going to shrug, another way of mucosal contact would be fine."
"That's not until we get married!
Tart broke in with a bright red face.
A lot of things, a tart that's neglectful of these stories, seems to convey this.
... Considering efficiency alone, let's keep quiet that that's the way to go up there.
"Tart will be angry, and I won't let you. I'm a little scared, too, and I'll keep that for some more fun later. So I'm going to ask for a proper magic supply of kisses."
Has the escape been prevented?
It's not like I don't like kissing.
I like Dia, I rather think it's useful. I was just more anxious about reason and avoiding it.
Also, I was afraid if I kissed him, he would lose his teeth.
Kiss my favorite Dia. I can't believe it's over. It's a life kill.
A perfectly young body is hard to handle.
"Dia, I missed the point, but you really want eyes."
"Of course, if I see magic, I think it's easier to do magic control. Absolutely, magic improves. A magical meeting between the guards in action is also advantageous. You're more of a proximity aid to me than a tart."
It's a magician-like idea.
If you see a magical movement, whether it's at a distance where you can't hear the chant, you can preface the magic to be completed.
Even when using magic on your own, you can find the right answers by comparing the movements of magic to the finished magic.
The visualization of information that can only be captured by the senses is of great significance.
The fact that you see magic as much as you do super motion vision is a huge advantage.
"Well, I'll get you two ready for surgery."
Now we've decided on the other eye of the tart, then Dia's eye surgery.
I look forward to further growth for both of you.
◇
A week later, Epona came back.
From then on, I behaved strangely.
Of course I'm trying to distance myself from the Deers.
Just one person, and I'm pretty sure something happened while I was on a mission.
I can avoid even trying to talk to you.
The study group was also non-participating.
I had no choice but to visit Epona's room at night.
As it is, I want to keep missing the timing and avoid things that I can't apologize for.
Finish your training, take a shower, and then head to Epona's room alone.
It was just a few moments later when it was called Epona's room.
I can't wait to hear the siren.
Is this a raid?
Are you saying the Knight's School was attacked?
What the hell kind of people attacked this place? It's insane.
No matter how immature, there are more than a hundred magicians in this school.
"... No, is it possible if it is a demon led by the Demon Clan"
Demons.
The instructors came and told me to gather in the auditorium immediately.
At the same time, a horde of demons is approaching us.
This time, in addition to the oak, as last time, they have a wide variety of demons.
That size is not comparable to the previous one.
"Is this the discomfort of that orc herd"
The last move the orcs showed us was unnatural.
That's why I suspected that was reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.
That turns into half certainty.
Then deduce what information the other side craved.
Most likely is the weakness of the brave Epona. Their purpose is to crush the brave.
And that aim could be achieved. That's why we retreated at that time and raided the school today.
Think of it like that and you'll get stuck.
The weakness of Epona, known to them, is that control of power is immature and involves allies.
If that's all, it won't be Epona's own weakness, but hesitate to get involved, hurt, that's deadly.
If this school is filled with demons, it will be the hardest situation for Epona to fight.
You won't be able to move.
"Suppose this school raid only went to weaken Epona. Much, much licked. If you want to weaken one brave man, they think it's okay to deal with more than a hundred extra magicians."
Demons are only beasts that move around as their instincts are, and the Demons are highly wise and remain in the literature when they govern their ability to produce demons and demons.
But I didn't expect it to move so far.
You shouldn't just attack me from the front. How many tricks are you up to?
"Epona!"
Epona, who hears the siren, jumps out of the room, so she speaks.
Epona says something, swallows the word, and looks for another.
"I'll go first. Fight as far away as you can."
That is a word of rejection.
So I release the words I should say to her.
"It was bad before this.... Also, let's fight together. Try to be strong enough to do that. So don't fight alone."
That's a statement of determination.
I can't keep my feet together anymore.
Epona didn't turn around and ran away.
Words arrived. All you have to do is prove the word.
Maybe that chance will come around.
