The Editor Is the Novel’s Extra

Stabbed doesn't mean you can't make excuses, of course.

"Well, that's... that's hard to say. My brother stopped by the capital just before I got here. I happened to see the investigation documents of the boss that I brought. If this is known, my brother will hate it terribly, so please pretend you don't know."

They usually don't keep in touch with each other, but they are often called as an excuse.

"Well, I'm still a family member, so I'll use it at times like this.’

Lippi admired her hair, fixing her Ivy pins.

"The supervisor's investigation department is amazing.

"It's not all that... I think my father's company is rather unusual.”

Thanks to you, I got valuable information. Thank you."

"Well, now you'really.

Clayo sat back on the bench, tucking his hands back into his pockets to explain. Somehow the appearance was both hateful and pathetic, so Rachel poked Clay.

"It's easy to be scared that there might be a blow, man."

"I'll be looking at the sky. Even shove it."

"Oh, that's a great division of labor."

From then on, the children dug up piles of dirt and pushed them into small and large pits.

It was a tremendous speed.

Rothan wiggled his thick eyebrows.

"You did it in three hours?"

Arthur's slim face, and the vice-chief of the Tristane Knights looked caught off guard as he looked around the children in thin work clothes.

Arthur replied with a plain bright smile.

"As you can see. Do you have anything else to shovel?”

Rotan seemed to want to find fault with it, but all the holes in the vast training ground were filled.

The children's skills were clearly revealed just by looking at the shoveling, and it was clear that they were more active because they could not admit the fact.

The gallant man finally found a breakthrough.

"If you've filled the hole, it's time to pick the right floor. When I'm done with that, I'll have dinner."

After all he had to say, Rothan swung back and walked toward the castle. Clayo's ugly eyes caught up with his bumpy back.

'I know what's going on, but I can't believe you're still angry with the kids when you're an adult. Aren't you being so mean?'

The building on the left side of the training ground must be a restaurant, and the long-stalled stovepipe exuded delicious smell and white steam.

If we can't keep the meal time, we don't know if we can feed the children who don't have any connections here, but how can they be so rude?

It was an unforgivable act because of the Korean's heart-wrenching attitude when he played with rice.

"I'll pick the floor. You've done all the shoveling."

"Are you all right, Clayo?"

"It's not easy. I'll catch up with you in a minute, so you guys go in with Riffy and Leticia."

The two twins, who collected shovels and came to Clayo's side, shouted excitedly and not tired.

"Trying to use magic?”

"Yes."

"Then I'll see you!"

"Why is it so cold? I've seen you use magic once or twice."

"It'll be fun to watch it ten or a hundred times!"

"Me too!"

Clayo did not have the ability to stop the determined twins.

"I understand that you're hung up on the streets since there's no black-and-white silent movie yet, but do you want to do this even in this situation?"

It's already past 4 p.m., and the sun has fallen in the mountains.

No matter how many candidates for flying meat, they consume a lot of ether for [hardening] if they are in this cold weather. Lippi and Leticia, who were relatively small, seemed to have slowed down slightly.

It would be faster to finish it quickly because of the scuffle. After a sigh, Clayo tramped into one corner of the training camp.

Clayo, who pulled out the water-pure wood wand that had been stuck in the coat's arms, measured the amount of ether residue.

The training ground was quite large. Clayo, whose circle is only 20 meters wide, had to use magic repeatedly to get sick of it.

'It's still level four, so the size of the circle is ambiguous. I think the ether bowl is wide enough, but I don't know what's lacking to level it up.’

Fortunately, there was no need to use a high-level combination of magic to melt the land and select it smoothly.

It's hard to pick when the ground is frozen, so I'll put it in and then [disband] the rest, right? If you go over to Decomposition, you'll become dust, not sand.’

Only two magical slots were filled. It was relaxing.

'Well, the rest is true.'

Clayo, who took turns rolling his cold feet and watched "Memories" of "Promise," quickly decided to say the truth.

It was close to making a choice because it was cold and I didn't want to think deeper, but it was foolish to search for more amazing sentences to choose the floor of the training ground.

A farmer comes and tells me it's already spring.

Now I will go out to the western fields and plow the land.]1)

Clayo's magic rose.

Under the shadows cast by buildings of different heights, the training ground, which had been dark before the sunset, brightens like noon.

It was a hot and brilliant light, just like the summer when winter longed for.

The expanded magic melts frozen ground and drains the rough clump of dirt. White steam rose above the magic formula. The heated soil smelled of spring days.

Lippi and Leticia were excitedly running around the magical ceremony.

In fact, the wizard himself was a man of dry emotions, so he was just evaluating the magic of the moment by tapping the water-pure wood-wand on the left hand.

'Is the soil overcooked? Oh, well, it's dirt, so why don't you burn it.'

As soon as the magic ceremony was turned off, the task of selecting a corner of the training ground was completed.

Without a rush, Clayo moved slowly and began to work on the next part of the training ground.

The magic operation became faster and faster as time went by, and the light flashed at the end, and the floor sank into fine sand.

"Wow! Pretty!"

"The semi-cancer sand in the training ground is as shiny as gold sand."

Above the excited voice of Lippi and Leticia, the man's shouts overlapped.

"Are you a wizard?"

It was the shout of Vice President Rotan, who was half-turned, with his jaw pulled out and his mouth open.

It would be strange if no one of the knights could feel such a great flow of ether.

Clayo answered with ease.

"It must have been written on the document you delivered."

Rothan looked like he didn't even open the envelope that Isiel gave him earlier, just doesn't know the English language.

It was funny that he had such a stupid face that he could be two meters tall.

A well-informed northern knight was confused by his common sense or prejudice and inconsistency in the results before his eyes.

"How can I do this at such a young age? This doesn't make sense....”

"Then I'm done with my work, so I'll go eat before it's too late."

Clayo didn't have to wait for a reply. That's because Rothan seemed to have no brains to answer.

In the middle of the training camp, he left a rotan with a haunted look on his face, and headed to the restaurant.

Each of the children was busy covering Clayo's shoulders, pulling his arms, laughing and talking.

"I'm glad you hit the back of that tickling vice-chief."

"Maybe because I have a small heart, I can smell the dinner more fragrant."

"If it's the food you ate at the pub, I'm looking forward to the rice here, too!”

"Because the temperature is low, there seems to be a lot of meat and fat-free dishes."

"That's real, it smells great!"

The wind was cold, but it wasn't that cold because I was close to the children. At one point Clayo was laughing at a lame joke.

***

The same routine as the first day passed for a week. It was a simple labor effort, such as maintaining underground waterways or filling the turret's reservoirs with oil.

Today's mission was to dig deeper moat in front of the gate. Even though the floodgates were blocked, the soil was freezing cold and extremely hard.

Of course, it wasn't a problem for the kids.

He worked with the power of the ether, so he was efficient enough to overdo anything.

I felt that the attitude of the people in the city who looked at the children differently every day because they were doing everything with good faces without any complaints.

"I was wondering how rude children would come because they were the children of the noble in the center."

'You're a good worker. He's so strong with all the knights.’

'Thank you.'

'This is a snack.'

Even now, Clayo was hugging the inside of his coat so that the warm milk tea bottle that the restaurant owner packed tightly would not cool down.

That's enough. The deputy head of the department is throwing his kids away in this weather. I can't wait to see the big game.’

So far, most of the numbers have been small at levels one or two. The punitive force was driving the beast as if it were sweeping down from the south to the north of the territory, catching it as if it were catching a mountain animal. Fortunately, most of the beasts came out of the deep mountains, and the damage to the residents was minimal.

Clayo asked to be put into the punitive force because he wanted to let the children accumulate experience when the number of drinks was still mild, but the deputy head only snorted.

'Children who haven't even been appointed are trying to catch someone!'

It was clear that Rotan had not read the children's documents yet.

'There are only 70 knights at level five in all of Albion, and that prince is a prospective knight far beyond the normal level of level five. He's got that high-quality guy digging up the ground.’

There has been no sign of death around the castle yet. At first, everyone was vigilant, but after a week, the tension was relieved, so the two twins threw snowballs and played jokes.

Arthur, Isiel and Rachel winked at each other and dug out the moat in both directions without saying anything.

"They're so sincere, they're so sincere.’

As soon as he heard the order, Clayo asked if he would just cast a disintegration spell, but Isiel stepped up and said, "You don't know when the beast will strike. Save your ether.'

This time, as Chelsea and Arthur Isiel had the same meaning, Clayo's arms were joined one by one, and he dragged them to put them on the temporary stairs.

In fact, the deputy head of the team did not even show his nose.

'I know you're busy, but that's not the only reason. Your ears are open, so you must have felt people's opinions change. Acknowledge their abilities and feel like they're losing to the central aristocrats.’

Today's workshop was very nice in the background. The scene where the children dug deeper into the moat was in front of the main gate of the castle facing the mountain range.

And the three-story building that came out of the main gate and went up the road was the lodging of the knights. It was also a building with children's rooms.

Clayo, who turned on "Tardiness" and stretched his head, caught some injured people who returned to the castle last night gathering at a restaurant on the first floor. Judging from the lively conversation of the knights, I didn't think they were seriously hurt.

He must have used this building as his lodging so that the drivers could respond first in case of an emergency. Even if Phyton flies, there's not enough people to help or witness. All right.'

The part where the knights admired Arthur and his friends was essential not only for future development but also for improving the current situation.

So Masu Pitton will surely fly into the castle, where the children are.

'Department head, you'll melt into Arthur's skin only on the outside, and stubbornness is beef again. I'm going to be embarrassed in my sleep, and I'm going to kick my blankets."

Whi—

The biting wind in the mountains upset Clayo's hair, which was emptied under his hat.

"Oh, what kind of wind....’

It was then.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

The black mana shot down from the sky with a deafening roar.

1) Your company, Do-yeon-myung.
