The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

◇

A large hall illuminated by a magical lamp.

The long three-row table is lined with a variety of dishes, sake, and more.

In the royal palace of the citadel city of Rezarias in the Kingdom of Stralia, even though it was wartime, a modest banquet was held.

A tribute to the victorious warriors who defeated the mages. And it sounds like my welcome.

"The heavens will not abandon us!" From the far east, one thousand great wizards, Lord Guglecus, joined us as reinforcements! "

The voice of the King's Chargé d 'affaires a.i., Noraad Acharno III, resounded high. Are you still a teenager? Maybe you're not used to it, but you're making quite a noise.

Although it is a feast at the royal palace, the floating air is not related to glamour. Even a miserable atmosphere, like a rally for the next battle.

It is probably due to such domestic circumstances to confirm the tightening and loyalty of the powerful nobles.

The gaze of the invited nobles, servants, or royal palace knights naturally focuses on me.

It is mostly a look of interest and suspicion.

However, my royal gestures and abdominal craftsmanship are stained, and I am graciously thankful for the extra smile.

I'm glad that there was a "Sage's Cloak" with a large-scale decoration at this time.

"My name is Guglecas, and I'm here to introduce you." Far east of Straria, the heart of the world, I have come from the Kingdom of Methanostadt as a messenger. "

Half of them are appropriate, but there's no way to prove it.

"Metano...? I've never heard of it..."

"There must be only dark hair, that skin, and an untapped barbarian in the east..."

I heard you were the wizard of the drifter.

"But look at that magical glow..."

Slightly visualize the barrier of the wise man with the "Demonstration Magic (Effects)". The magic light was sparkling in the surroundings and deliberately reflected off. At the same time, Magic Yarn (Magi Wire) was stretched like a spider web, ravaging the nobles' wizards. I disturb their magic as they try to explore.

"... ugh!? The magic is disturbed..."

"W-What magic power...!"

"That man, he's not a fool."

Noble wizards and witches appealed to their masters in a panic.

"Fufufu..."

Lift the glasses' nose with your fingertips and smile unstoppably. It's a clever production, but sometimes this kind of "comprehensibility" is also necessary in the court.

"Lord Gugrecas is strong!" You saved us from our crisis with your overwhelming magical powers! "

Marius, the Commander of the Kingsguard, raised his voice.

"If Lord Gugrecas doesn't come, we'll be wiped out...!" It's not like we're having a feast here, is it? "

The Thousand Captains were in the same team. It looked like I had a good idea, but I was following it.

Just like Faria and like Ergonote. There's a lot of fighting power, but it looks like they don't have a back cover.

"What...!"

Overwhelming the mage of the sky and his family!

"And, Your Highness, that wizard seems to have overwhelming magic power after all..."

The court wizard I know is His Majesty the King (Acting Prince?) is accompanied to the mouth.

The gaze changed from suspicion to expectation and welcome, and a loud applause rushed in like a rumble on the ground.

Even if the world is different, the royal palace and court are similar.

If you don't have a family or money, it's always Mount's reward. We must not spare any effort to make things go smoothly.

"... haa"

I mean, I don't want this crap (...).

I'd like to buy some information here, put my forces together if I can, and go rescue Fairy Metius.

The mage's phantom, who had recovered his family, said, "I have a fairy in my custody."

Metius is safe. This brings out a ray of light.

However, with the magic power supply cut off, is it safe to do so? The cute fairy hasn't done anything strange, or she can't stop worrying about it.

"... Shit."

Magic communication remained interrupted. It was supposed to be connected by strong magic, but it was completely blocked.

I don't feel like I'm dealing with nobles or royals, and I don't have any taste in cooking.

My goal is to return to the original world.

To do that, I...

Gugrecas-sama, are you okay?

"Ah, ahhh... I'm fine, Cherinor."

The girl beside her was looking at her worriedly.

Does it hurt anywhere?

"No, it's all I think about."

It seems that she had a difficult face.

"Great... I'm so nervous right now. Guglecus-sama too?"

"That's right, I don't like places like this. But don't worry, just calm down and concentrate on the food in front of you."

"... for cooking?"

Yeah.

Celinor looks at the food on the table.

I want to hide under the table right now... because I'm not used to the nervousness.

The maids of the royal palace cleaned it and the daughter of a kind nobleman changed her clothes.

"I feel like I was made to die somehow."

His eyes were black and white, and he was puzzled.

"Hahaha, if you're kidding, it's okay."

It's over.

"You just have to stay next to me so you don't get away from me."

"Yes....."

Gently grab your hand and calm down.

The girl who was about to be buried alive in the underground temple was at the royal palace celebration a few days later, so it was no surprise.

Also, in the meantime, you should supplement your diet.

It must be quite impossible to hold a celebration or a rally during the war.

I don't think the king's deputy or the minister close to him is very good at running the country.

― ― Kick off the wicked mage and victory over our country! I wonder if the great wizard came to see me, not because of the gospel of God...! "

The king's substitute prince seemed to be in tune.

Well, I wasn't really kicking (...), but I was able to escape without being able to defeat it.

The prince entrusted with the task of preserving the dignity of the country through the feast, raising morale and strengthening the unity of the nobles.

After the feast, I was allowed to meet with the Third Prince, His Majesty Prince Achard. Therefore, I was asked to serve as a special magic advisor, a so-called eater.

This was recommended by Marius, the Commander of the Kingsguard Knights, and Argusut, the Commander of the Thousand Royal Warriors.

It's an unusual situation, but it's an emergency. It seems that the talent is pressing.

"I'm looking forward to working."

"Hah, thank you. Happy."

― ― But for a limited time.

Now I've got my back. It is a goodbye to life that is difficult to eat and sleep for a while.

Cherinhol will be able to work in a safe castle from tomorrow.

The feast was followed by an emergency operation meeting.

"The situation is not pleasant."

The voice of Kingsguard Knight Commander Marius echoed in the royal palace conference room.

At the center of the huge round table is a map with red markings.

Fifteen kilometers east of the citadel city of Rezarias.

The valley where there was a small village was the place where the magician's stars settled. The impact devastated the village, and Kristania, the Crystal Castle, emerged.

His Majesty King Achard, the Minister, and the Kingsguard sat on the throne.

On the left and right, the Commander of the Kingdom Warrior Corps, Al Ghost, and the Acting Commander of the Remnant of the Magic Corps, Miss Kirill Heath.

Opposite me is Sir Hevette, who seems to be very well-placed, but with a keen eye for intelligence.

Me, a special magic advisor, is also attending the top member's meeting.

According to what Marius, the Commander of the Kingsguard, told me earlier, King Noruard Gaius, who was a Yuu of Takeshi, was killed in battle.

A mage came from the sky, causing enormous damage.

After that, in order to defeat the mage team, he led a large army to the mage's castle, Kristania, and tried to invade it.

But the king died in battle.

In just half an hour, the main force of the National Army, which had a strength of 30,000 troops, was devastated.

It was said that only a few of the Royal Magic Corps were likely to be able to help.

The First Prince, who had served in the army, was also killed, and the Queen was shocked to lie on the floor. So the third prince, Achard, who was seventeen years old, was on the throne.

After that, the invasion of the citadel city of Rezarias was repeated.

The mage's vassals were active at night and returned in the morning.

"I managed to endure the castle battle in the citadel city until now..."

That's where I came in.

They don't like sunlight, do they?

"I don't know any magicians, but monsters usually don't like daylight." They'll be the same. "

The musculoskeletal Al Ghost says nothing, but I don't care. This is important information.

It could be a weakness or a thread of attack.

Hmmm.

The First Crusade took place at dawn.

I couldn't even get close to you, though.

Sir Hevette, an intelligence officer, shrugged his shoulders.

"The Mage's Crystal Castle, Kristania, can't even get close." A three-legged crystal monster was unleashed as it approached, blocking the march. and..... "

Marius's expression clouded.

"The light from Crystal Castle... is sniped by magic like a blade." His Majesty shoots him in the neck with it..... "

It was blown away, "Lord Hebbet added.

It's a hard-fought fortress, isn't it?

"The strength we can gather again is three thousand." Even if you gather the private armies of the nobles and the mercenaries, it's about four thousand. "

Lord Hebbet seems to be a good man.

"That's all..."

Prince Achard, the King's deputy, sheds his shoulders.

It wasn't enough to take down the Mage's Crystal Castle. Last time, it was wiped out with 30,000 troops.

I have a suggestion.

I was listening to a stuck-up operation meeting and I made one suggestion.

Inwardly, I hated it, but I couldn't help it. To get the keys to help Metius get back.

My gaze falls on me.

Kristania, we have no chance of winning the Crystal Castle from the front.

"I know that!"

The blue long-haired witch, the representative of the Magic Corps, called out. My people must be dead and blood on their heads.

"Will you listen to me until the end? In addition to the ground, why don't you take in a small number of elites from underground?”

Point down and look around the meeting room.

"What...!?"

"It's underground..."

I see, then.

But is it even a hole?

"The ground troops stay away from the enemy and take control." Attract the attention of Kristania's ground forces. The magic of sniping, the three-legged monster... It's a dangerous battle that may come out of your family. ”

"I know the dangers!" I'll take care of the front. "

Al Ghost raises his temper.

"But underground..."

"Then you can use the old waterway." There were many caves around, and the area used waterways and underground passages as storage. If I go through the literature..... "

A competent intelligence officer came up with a good idea.

"Excellent. The invasion from underground..."

"Let's go."

The witch, Miss Cyril Heath, slammed the table with a sharp glance.

Twenty wizards with excellent magic detection and engineers to clear the way. So I found the entrance from the basement of Crystal Castle.

But wait, Lord Grecas, there's a chance we won't be able to get in from the basement.

"Yes, if the other person notices you and you are in danger, please retreat immediately."

"What do you mean?"

“My proposed strategy is threefold: above-ground, below-ground, and underground (stealth). In the midst of a noisy above-ground and below-ground turmoil, I will hide and infiltrate into Kristania, the third conquest party.”

"What...!?"

Lord Gugrecas, that's too dangerous.

“Don't worry, I've taken care of my family when I fight them.”

……

What an unknown gentleman

The family members are infiltrated with the surgical technique. Once activated, the green potato phantom sneaked out information at once. We should be able to identify their location and the structure of Kristania.

"Why did you do that to us... without even saving your life?"

The Commander of the Kingsguard stared at me with a trembling face. I thought I should remain silent, but it doesn't make sense if the motive seems opaque.

"I... want to rescue my dear friend." From the mage's hand. "

■■■

Mage... Reticulia Tiau!

We're taking it in right now.

Nefertus blocked the voice of Zekmate, the lion's head.

In a tower full of pale glow. The castle is on the top floor of a complex geometric structure with giant crystals of crystal.

In a bag filled with a liquid like sunflower water, a red and black fetus moved a huge eyeball.

”... the memory of the fairy... is really interesting...”

A head that looks like a giant fig upside down. From there, a fluttering little body floats like a jellyfish's feet. It's just like an accessory.

A semi-transparent bag of sunshine slides through the air as it circles around an immobile fairy sealed by crystals.

"What is memory...?"

The green taro, Lamashtu, is hundreds of times tighter. I turned my gaze to the levitating mage.

There is a new world that is much bigger and richer than this world......

"Wow, can you go to a new world!?"

The lion's head jumped like a boy.

”This fairy... could be a needle...!”
