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

"My daughter, Snoovel, has gone missing"

In the unexpected words of His Majesty King Courtilt Avines, the heavy towns that surrounded the round table in the conference room could not hide their surprises and confusion.

"Hey, what no!?

"Stupid......!

"Is that possible?

Turning his gaze toward his son-in-law Prince Ergonote, he is silent with a rugged look. Deepening the wrinkles between the eyebrows with a sinking look is Sir Apras A. Jill, president of the Wizards Association.

"I'm afraid, my king! What the hell is that supposed to mean? Would you elaborate, and... Sir Apras-A-Jill! Damn...... you know something!?

It was Sir Balikerius, the leader of the Magic Corps, who embarked on himself with a fierce sword screen.

"It wasn't until I got certainty (...)..."

Sir Apras-A-Jill answers powerless as he moves his white beard.

"I got confirmation, what do you mean?

"I think I should rephrase that I was able to grasp things."

"Then you don't know, Your Highness! More details...... I would like an explanation!

The head of the Magic Corps, who realizes it is Sir Apras who is grasping the situation, asks questions. His Majesty the King and the President of the Magic Society Apras, as well as Magic Corps Commander Barricellius, hear about the spiritual patterns of old dating.

But at least the information that the princess was missing was a fact that only a very limited number of people knew: His Majesty the King and Ergonote, as well as the President of the Magic Society.

Knights chief Vilstein, who was close to grandeur, has his lips firmly tied as he listens to the exchange between the two. Wear knight armor and try to be the Knights Commander who at all times risked his life to protect kings and princesses, and you won't be ashamed of yourself, such as the Princess disappeared. He seeps remorse and shivers his fists on the round table.

"Sage Grecas, has the princess really disappeared?

Metius, the fairy lurking inside the cloak of the wise, looks around worried with his face.

"I don't know. Are you all right, Meti?"

"Yes, but I don't know why... I miss you so much. Where the hell is the princess..."

Metius was the sister of Princess Snuvel during her life. Magical blood sisters may have deep connections when they change their appearance.

His Majesty the King, who is in front of him, is a born samurai who cannot use any magic.

In contrast, I hear that Princess Snoovel's magical powers, which show her talent with her future foresight (...) and star chanting fortune, were inherited from a queen who usually doesn't look very good.

I don't even see the queen, but she may be down in shock.

"Greg, can't you magically detect where you are?

Lentomia sees the exchange and sues me like she doesn't know how to do it.

"The magic of searching for people will be done by the head of the Magic Society and court magicians (...) before I do it"

But I still can't find it.

I try to quickly verify the situation in order to calm my upset feelings.

I was in the castle, but I disappeared. For 24 hours, the castle has a good eye for surveillance, and I can't help but go out to the castle town alone. That's why Ergonote can't walk freely.

The next thing I can think of is abductions and accidents on outings. However, it is customary for elite knights and top wizards comparable to the top to be escorted in bundles. In the first place, I haven't heard anything about going out of the country.

Or if you're impatient...... except.

Behind the ergonote, gaze at the wizard Leistoria standing on the wall.

But I don't see another top wizard, Magellna with sharp blue hair, who always follows me.

Doesn't that mean she's with the princess now?

And the "Walking Demon King's Castle" and the "Next Generation Magic Technology Presentation" caught on a bit.

You can't even think that these have nothing to do with the Princess's disappearance.

That meeting should have been a place for civilian magic workshops (marsenals), magic societies in the kingdom, or magic soldiers in the Royal Army to introduce their magic techniques, share their opinions with each other, and explore the direction of future magic technology developments.

However, the flow changed from the story of Demon King's Castle, which began to move, to talk about making magic technology as immediate practical as possible and heading to Demon King's Castle and destroying it as soon as possible.

If you correct the original, "The Next Generation Magic Technology Presentation" was what Princess Snoovel's immediate work force, the Central Ready to Respond Group (Metanomilia), wanted. It began by recommending technological development for the transport of supplies to the world tree and for future development.

However, Princess Snoovel, who was present at the meeting whenever possible and who was also keen on magical matters, was not present at today's presentation.

If you think about it now, the story of the destruction of Demon King's Castle is too steep. It also makes me think of something as "trying" those who were there.

Wasn't it... to explore those involved in the disappearance of the princess?

"... in fear. Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel was absent at least a few days ago...... no, maybe longer?

The person questioned is the President of the Magic Society and His Majesty the King. To my words, His Majesty turned his gaze to Ergonote as if he had made up his mind.

No less than His Majesty the King, the wonderful ergonote of the body opens its mouth.

"Grekas, Princess Snoovel did mouth sealing on many sides... and took only a very small number of escorts to the land of Dicamaran. About... five days ago."

"Nah!?

"What!? Who allowed such a dangerous journey!?

At the same time as I was surprised, the captain of the Magic Corps hoisted his eyes and screamed, slapping his desk on his back.

"We have not received any reports of escorts from our Holy Knights. Perhaps... he was taken from the" Central Immediate Group "of his belly."

"Thanks for your patience and the solace of Demon King's Castle...!? That's not much of a compliment."

The Commander of the Knights reports. Ergonote, to the secret revealed, Magic Corps Commander Barricellius is a complex state of mind with a mixture of worry and anger.

"Dickamaran... it's still a dangerous place. Why would you do that?

I asked quietly. Too reckless for Princess Snoovel. You should at least be accompanied by Ergonote.

"I said I was going, too, but they didn't listen to me. I just offer my condolences prayers to the dead nearby..."

Ergonote seeped remorse.

"By the strong wishes of Princess Snoovel, you accompanied a trusted wizard gathered by me in secret. Five people accompany us. Plus about ten knights from Militia. We rode three magical carriages of royalty traveling fast across the desert."

Sir Apras A. Jill, president of the Demon King's Society, continues his words with a deep sigh.

"I was contacted that I had arrived in just about three days on a journey that would have taken me as long as ten days, but I lost contact shortly afterwards... Three days ago."

"And the Demon King's Castle moved out...... and?

"You're right, sage Lord Grecas. Perhaps... the princess is at Demon King's Castle (...)"

You mean it has something to do with the moved Demon King Castle and Princess Snoovel......!

"Nah......!

"No!?

A voice of surprise echoes in the conference room.

I was dazzled by the boulder. What the hell, for what reason, and what's going on?

"Actually... all of us wizards were suspected. I was wondering if there was anything that snatched Princess Snoovel... So today's" Next Generation Magic Technology Presentation "let me set up a little bit to clear my suspicions."

"... what do you mean?

"It's a precious place for wizards who live in the Magic Society and court wizards to meet together. So... Leistoria used a spell called The Hundred Eyes Lost Act to look for someone who might know something about Princess Snoovel's disappearance. No matter what kind of wizard you are, if you know something... even if you are unconscious, your eyeballs will move and shine a unique light..."

The president of the Magic Society pointed a sharp glance at me from the back of my white brow.

"Were you looking for someone who was lying, hiding, or betraying you..."

"Master Left, I'm sorry. I was going to detain him on the spot and interrogate him... but no one is suspicious."

"Great......! So there was no wizard associated with the Princess's disappearance."

Lentomia howls her chest down. The spell must have begun around Leistoria's footage of the Demon King's Castle. The fact that my tactical information display (tactics) cannot be detected is probably passive magic.

Were you showing 'Demon King's Castle' on that occasion, exchanging keywords such as' destroy 'the purpose, and exploring the reaction?

If I had read the information about the princess in advance with search magic (Ggol)... I might have been suspected.

Cold sweat seeps through.

"But earlier, we found something definitive. I found Snoovel's autographed suicide note in my bedroom. No, not exactly... like a plan."

Ergonote took the paper out of his nostalgia.

"Nah......!

"I mean, this was planned and executed by Princess Snoovel herself"
