A quasi-B magician is quite high in the Magic Guild.

It seems that the "Wise Man" candidate who supports the future Alliance will be given that much strength.

One of them is Eazetta-Memen.

He is the eldest daughter of the Marquis and is said to be the same "Cainese" as Professor Demetel.

"I don't mind meeting you, but I'm curious that it says' confidential '."

"I agree."

Odette and I were talking in front of the brief.

"If I was a quasi-B in the Magic Guild, I'd know I was Iris' Guard Knight and Odette was close to Iris. And" confidentially "─ ─ doesn't mean you shouldn't share information with Iris?

"Or maybe you can tell Iris."

"Speaking of which, do you think Prince Cain's sister Iris is Cain?"

"That's right. I have heard that Ezetta-Memen is an admirer of His Highness Cain. I'm sure Iris, Lord Cain's sister, thinks it's okay to divulge the information."

"It's presumed that Iris will know what we're talking about."

"Maybe they're trying to get Iris on our side through us."

Odette put his arms together to think.

"In any case, there's too much information."

"I don't think it's a good idea not to meet."

"It's a call from a superior magician. If you refuse, you may face many disadvantages in the future. Being with people is more important than being in the organization. Yuuki"

"I know, but... I'd like to know a little bit more about the other guy."

They're the top sorcerers, so they can get information on me and Odette.

But we barely know each other.

If you want to meet and talk, I want to know about someone named Ezetta-Memen.

It would be troublesome to misread the other person's intentions or to be taken for word.

"Well, even in the semi-B class, the opponent is a magician."

I opened the window and called Dick the Wizard.

"I know what a sorcerer does. So let's check."

Yes. Goshun?

"Dick, you were on the roof."

There it is. It's Dick's job to protect the house. "

Then I ask, is there anyone around the house who seems to be a magician?

There it is!

Bat Dick nodded lightly.

There was a pigeon that looked like a wizard. But I'm not getting close to home. "

"A wizard!? Really, Mr. Dick!?

Odette shouted.

Well, someday you'll be able to talk to Dick normally. Odette.

Yes. Beginning this morning, there was a pigeon who was trying to get close to the house many times. But this house is protected by Dick and the Bat Army, so they won't get near it. "

I knew it.

"A pigeon... is a common wizard. Cain people must have liked to use it."

Odette nodded.

"If that wizard belongs to Ezetta-Memen, he would have been watching us. I see... that's why my name was written on the letter to Yuki."

I mean, Odette was being followed.

Bat legions protect me and the area around this house. I can't get near the wizard.

But Odette's wizard is a snake.

It's for investigation, not for escort. You can't find another sorcerer's wizard.

"It's so noble to let go of a wizard and follow a low-ranking sorcerer..."

"Really?

"I love" superior aristocracy ". The inscription of my name and Yuki's name in the letter would mean, 'I know you are in his house.' You must be demonstrating that you have an information advantage."

"That's annoying, nobleman."

"Isn't Yuki a child of the Earl?"

Yes, it is.

But I can't imagine Brother Zeros or Rumia behaving like that.

The Glossaries are country nobles, but I like that kind of place.

"If you refuse to see Ezetta-Memen, the devil will follow you."

"... I see."

"In that case, let's get it done early. I'll get back to them. Odette, can you check the script? Because I don't have confidence in noble texts."

"Yes, sir."

"And before we meet, I'd like to get some information about Ezetta-Memen. Dick, go to Roderia and tell her I'll see her tomorrow. The Grail Chamber of Commerce is also familiar with the situation of nobility. They may have information about the Marquis of Menmen."

It's me ~

"Don't let the devil follow you."

Of course! The Bat Corps will follow you with all their might!

Dick jumped out the window.

At Roderia's place, I'll also replenish the cane and the bottle for the floating magic bullet.

Then let's take a look at the wreckage of the Lord of the Paladins. Analyzing it should also help Roderia.

"May I accompany you to the Grail Chamber of Commerce?

Surprisingly, Odette said.

"I want to hear about the Marquis of Menmen with Yuki. Because there are things about nobility that Yuki doesn't understand."

"Of course. But the question is, how do we follow him?"

"It's not necessarily just one magician. If you get rid of me and Yuki's wizard at the same time... you'll realize they're trying to do something together..."

Certainly.

Ask Dick and the others to get rid of their wizards.

But getting rid of the wizard is also a message to the opponent.

I can easily follow him by myself, but Odette can't.

... I don't know what to do.

"Does Remy follow you?

I noticed Remy's face coming out of the kitchen.

She was staring at me with her fingers closed.

"Remy, I want to help you and Odette."

"No, Remy. Yuki and Odette are having an important conversation."

Martha hurried over to pick Remy up.

"I'm so happy. Remy, but I'm not asking for your help."

"Really?

"Can I have tea instead? Cute maid."

"Got it!

Remy, dressed as a maid, raised her hands and ran to the other side.

When I saw him, I came up with an idea.

"Is there a maid in Odette's quarters?

"Why suddenly?

"No, I was wondering if the maid could help me."

"Yes, but... you've been thinking weird again. Yuuki"

Armed, Odette has an unbelievable smile.

"Let me hear it. Is this a plan for me and you to go to the Grail Chamber of Commerce together?

"Oh, Martha's gonna help you, okay?

The opponent prefers noble means.

If you use that habit, it may work.

I told Odette and Martha about the operation.

The next day.

"... chitchat"

The wizard overlooked Odette Sleigh's quarters.

Staying on the roof, waiting for the target to move.

The wizard, the blue dove, received an order from his master to "follow the sorcerer's girl."

Initially, it was "Follow the Dark-haired Boy Magician," but it failed brilliantly.

I couldn't keep up with the Dark-haired Boy Magician and the mysterious bats interrupted me.

That's why my husband switched to the "Blonde Girl Magician."

The blue pigeon is supposed to monitor the girl and then tell her husband what she saw.

"" Well, I'm going shopping. ""

And then there was a noise, and the door of Odette Sleigh's quarters opened.

From the inside, three maids appear.

Everyone has a large basket. I think we're going to the market.

The wizard pigeon stared at the three.

Then look at Odette Sleigh's room. The curtains remain closed. There is no sign of going out.

Then there is no problem.

The Pigeon of the Devil is told to do what he is commanded to do.

Nothing in the order says, "Follow the blonde maid." It has nothing to do with her lying ashamed in unfamiliar clothes, her strange eyes being seen by other maids, or her thumbs pointing out, "It looks good".

It is not the common sense of the nobles that the Duchess lady should wear a maid's clothes in the first place.

That's why the Mirage decided to wait for the target to move on the roof.

"─ ─ I was so embarrassed!!

Odette said at the entrance to the "Grail Chamber of Commerce."

Of course, she is wearing a maid's clothes.

It's Duke Slay's, and it's more decorative than what we use at home.

It would not be embarrassing to have a sense of luxury even for the superior aristocracy.

It's a pretty good design. Could you give one to Martha?

"I don't mean to follow you around... but the Duchess usually doesn't wear maid's clothes. It's sturdy and easy to move... I feel safe wearing it... fu, I don't wear it normally."

"That's why they wore it."

"... uu"

"Thanks to you, I can't follow you. I checked with Dick and the others, I'm sure of it."

It seems that the Lord of the Servants prefers noble manners.

So I decided to confront it in a non-aristocratic way.

Odette put on his maid's clothes, and he left the quarters with the other maids.

Generally, ladies of higher nobility do not wear servants' clothes.

I may wear it as a hobby, but I don't go out in it.

In other words, if Odette wears his maid's clothes and goes out, he will poke his opponent's head. Now Odette is changing her hair, and she is trying to walk on her face. If she hadn't known, she wouldn't have noticed.

And Odette left the house to hide from the other maids.

I went to the market, broke up with the maids in the crowd, and went straight to the Grail Chamber of Commerce.

There was an army of bats around the Chamber of Commerce, but naturally there was no magician approaching.

With Odette's efforts, the operation seems to have succeeded.

"... did you have Martha's guidance?"

"Wow, Odette. You'll learn to walk like a maid in a day."

Yesterday, Martha taught me how to wear maid clothes and how to dress like a maid.

As a result, Odette arrived here as a maid without being caught by a magician.

"... I want something worthy of your hard work."

"It's okay. Roderia said she'd look into it at the Grey Chamber of Commerce."

Odette, dressed in maid's clothes, walks slightly facedown.

This is under Martha's guidance. In this way, it looks like a maid following my husband. When I raise my face, I see a strong expression.

We are still at the reception of the Grail Chamber of Commerce.

The receptionist took me and Odette to the manager's office. However, their names were "Yuki-Grossalia and Martha, a servant of the Glossary family."

"... lately, I feel like I'm dying too much of the way I do yuki."

Sitting on a sofa in the manager's office, Odette held his head.

"I'm the Duke's daughter... and now I'm a quasi-C mage. But why are you so calm in your maid clothes...?

"Even if they say so."

"If I can no longer return to my usual nobility, take responsibility. Yuuki"

"Responsibility."

That's right. If you are the guardian god of the village, you will need witches and priests to support it. How about taking the job? Normally, I am a witch and a priest only when you return to the Guardian God. "

Odette smiled and pinched the maid's skirt.

"If you take care of the Guardian, it's like Martha's colleagues. Isn't it strange to wear a maid's clothes?

"I don't want to have any more future dependants...."

If you're a former Guardian, do something about it.

Say so, Odette drinks tea silently.

Odette has a point.

If I hadn't met him, Odette would have been an ordinary duchess.

I didn't get "Magic Blood."

He never finished riding the Spirit King.

As a natural good magician, he must have worked in the Magic Guild.

Of course, I would never have worn a maid's clothes. It suits me.

I owe Odette.

So I'm trying to do what I can for her.

Before I grow up and leave the human world.

Speaking of what I can do to Odette...

"Thank you for your patience. My Lord, Mr. Odette Slay."

When I thought about it, Roderia showed up.

She put the parchment in her hand on the table.

"Dear Ezetta-Memen... I didn't have much information about the individual, but I do know a few things about the Marquis de Menmen."

"I'm sorry. Roderia, take your time."

I told you.

"I became involved with a senior magician I didn't know, so I was curious to find out. I might be too vigilant, but ─ ─"

"No, I think it's wise. As for the Marquis of Menmen, there have been rumours among commercial officials."

"... to rumors?

"Yes, I'm quite in debt. Buying precious metals with the money. They often have parties to gather the nobles."

Roderia said that with a serious look.

"However, since this is an underwater movement, you may not be familiar with the Magic Guild."

"So you're trying to deepen your relationship with other nobles....."

I don't know why I'm doing that.

The Baron of Glossary was a country nobleman, and his relationship with the nobles was weak.

"The fact that the Marquis Marquis lady has been trying to contact my Lord... I think I should be on my guard."

"Are you trying to capture the Glossaries and the Duke of Slay?

"That's also true. But... there's another rumor."

Roderia hid her voice.

"As you may know, Tauro, the First Prince, is already a prince in the Kingdom of Liestia."

"I know. You must be one year older than His Highness Cain."

"I want to be a solid personality. However, the aristocracy close to the Marquis of Menmen said this.

"Now that the neighboring Gaul Empire is gaining ground, the Magic Guild should be under the king's command. The King should be the leader of the Alliance and bring all the sorcerers under his control. Otherwise, you won't be able to confront the mighty."

─ ─ Don't do that. "

Will the King be the leader of the Magic Guild?

On the contrary, you can receive that the top of the Magic Alliance should be king of this country.

"But... His Royal Highness Prince Tauro is no magician."

"That's what I hear."

"The prince who can use magic, the most powerful successor to the throne is His Highness Cain....."

"And the eldest daughter of House Menmen is also a keen caine....."

Odette and I looked at each other.

I felt like I was getting caught up in a really troublesome story.

"Of course, this is a rumor (no rumor) of merchants with deep ties to the nobility. It seems that the aristocrats involved in the Marquis are talking about the organizational reform of the Magic Guild. The Magic Guild should have the power and power to confront the Gaul Empire."

"The Magic Guild belongs to a noble child. Maybe that's what the Magic Guild thinks when it gets stronger, they'll be left in that spill..."

Odette shook his head in astonishment.

"Well, there are nobles like that all the time. I'm curious that the Menmen are gathering people around me..."

"In the first place, making a magician report to the King is backwards of the times."

I told you.

"Didn't you create the Magic Guild to separate politics from magic? When I gave them power in the Sanctuary Church, they ran wild. That's why ancient magic and ancient objects should be managed by the Magic Guild...."

"I'm in trouble..."

"Because the kingdom is peaceful, we can do business with peace of mind...."

Me, Odette and Roderia sighed.

Anyway, I found out that Eazetta-Memen's parents' house was a pain in the ass.

"So, what are you going to do, Yuki?

"I'll just see you. However, after taking measures."

What are you doing?

"I don't want to get involved in royal situations or anything like that. But if you leave it, it's going to keep getting tangled up, so let's talk about it and finish it off."

I've come to a conclusion.

As a human being, I go out and talk when I'm called.

But I'm not involved in a power struggle.

I'm human now.

One day you will leave the world, but the time is up to you.

I don't want to get into trouble and break up with my father and brother Zeros and Rumia.

Our goal is to explore the fifth basement level of "Elysion."

That's where you learn the secrets of the "Sanctuary Church" and, if possible, get a clue to the ancient magic of immortality.

That's all.

"As planned, let's meet with Eazetta-Memen this evening. But I'm the only one. I want you to decide that Odette can't go because of an emergency. I'm not feeling well, am I?

"Are you not feeling well?

"Isn't it good that I got tired when I fought on the Spirit King Ride? That's what Odette said when he defeated the Knight of the Holy King. I don't doubt it."

"... it must have been Yuki who defeated the Knight of the Holy King."

"No details. Anyway, I want Odette out there and ready to move. I'm relieved to have a trusted ally to help me when something happens."

Well, if that's the case, there's nothing you can do.

Odette nodded repeatedly.

"That's fine with me... Yuki, be careful"

"I'm going to take measures and listen to you. For example ─ ─"

I told Odette and Roderia about the operation.

This is a safety measure just in case. If you don't want to use it, that's fine.

But I knew it was annoying. Human aristocracy.

I don't mind reforming the guild, but I want you and Odette out of this.

For now, I just want to live a normal human life.
