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

"The Third Prince of the Kingdom of Israel (...), Algoat Reheim!

"Chiu!

That seems to be the real name, hidden in the rat's "Chiu Tai".

"Mr. Grey, was Chuta a prince?

"Probably, I think so"

"It's like a fairy tale. You're going back to where you were with the kiss?

Hemperoza says something quite sharp.

"Ha, I wouldn't struggle if it was that simple."

"... I've chucked it for you before, but it hasn't changed -"

"Whoa. That's what you were doing?

"Thank you for saving me from the haunting of my eyeballs in the desert country."

"Hey, that's what happened."

I laugh when Pram and Hemperoza dull.

"From today on, I'll give you lots of delicious cheese."

Plum gently lifts the 'Chiu Tai' on his desk with his palm.

A little life turns itself in comfort.

"Chiu"

"Oh... right. You'll be tired today, and you should give him some good food to rest."

"I'll leave it to Plum -!

I'll leave this place to Plum, my best friend.

Just because the contents are prince (...) suddenly you can't even treat them special, but for now you'd better feed them something delicious, not the usual "leftover cusp of bread".

"Come to Pram, come to Rana! Chuta is a prince, and get ready for a good bed!

"I see, Dace."

"Ooh! Then, lay a clean straw (Walla) well dried in an empty box of oranges and make" Prince Chiu Tai Uzu "!

"Chiu!?

The three of them and one of them rushed downstairs in noisy footsteps with Dodo.

"Phew...... Oh, boy, but you got something."

"That's right, sage Grecas"

A fairy named Methius sits on a magic book (Grimoire) obtained in Kanyan.

In a quieter study, I sat deep in my chair, too.

"... the detailed history is unknown, but Prince Algort was cursed for touching the sword of the treasure trove, making him look like a rat... I have no doubt about that."

"... pathetically. We have to break the curse quickly, sage Grecas."

Fairy Metius shows sympathy. And it also seems to be burning with a sense of purpose.

"Right. I found my real name, so I can see the way to the curse. Complex and mysterious magic, but it doesn't mean it can't be parsed."

"Then we'll just have to do it! We'll serve you all night."

The fairy Metius arranges pieces of the "ancient magic" technique that he has collected in the Tactics display.

An obvious fragment of 'ancient magic' was seen in the curse hung by the husband of Chutai and the burglar (...).

Magically speaking, the magical effect of a curse inspired by an unknown magic formula - magic toxins (...) are scattered in each body.

Those magic toxins change their appearance into something else and secure them like keys (...). All you have to do is disarm them, reconfigure and restore them to their original state.

Regardless, it's not that easy to talk about, and a simple curse (dispel) won't solve it.

"No...... I can't do it all by myself this time. With the help of Lentomia, Alberina, the president of the Magic Society, everyone."

"Well!?

Metius is surprised and reflects the light of a swinging lamp in his blue eyes.

"Don't be so surprised."

"... instead of knowing everything and wanting to be alone?

Fairy Metius whispers quietly. That sounds as if it's true hiding in the depths of one's heart and thrills me.

"It's too big to carry."

It's not just a magical technical thing. Perhaps we should inform Ergonote of his presence. Prince Algort's presence could be a bit of a fuss, involving King Metanostadt's government if he does poorly.

- Now, is it wise to lay low the presence of the Third Prince (Algoat)?

"It must be good to be able to honestly rely on someone, sage Grecas"

…… I guess that's what it is. "

"Yep."

I lift my tiny eyebrows to Methius and respond, watching the light of the perfumed oil lamp. The information obtained thus far is then collated.

The treasure sword that had been sealed in the treasure trove of the Kingdom of Israel, "The Dawn of Thunder God (Sandagart) (Holresort)", was hung with a terrible curse that, for some reason, rattled what it touched.

Why did Prince Algort have to be cursed?

Why did Ergonote get the 'Sword' without activating the curse?

In the first place, the ancient relics called treasure swords (...) and treasure tools (...) were unleashed on the world four years ago. It was all triggered by the invasion of the Demon King's Army (...) against the Kingdom of Israel.

When I think about it, I notice a strange point. Something moya moya similar to chest noise. Something hidden across the deep mist, though there is no certainty yet.

If 'ancient magic' was planted on the treasure sword, the wizard would be involved.

So what I associate with you is the disturbance of the other day.

The Demon King's Castle (...) was activated by a great deal of magic karakuri that lasted hundreds of years, called the 'Mao System'.

It was the existence that was manipulating it and giving birth to the Demon King that was the 'Zordaxzaian', a secret society that emanated from the edge to the western country of Stralia.

- Was' Zoldakuszaian 'also involved in the invasion of Israel?

Points and dots are gradually connected, and the elements that solve the mystery are coming together. But the lines connecting them are weak. Because it's all just speculation and speculation.

Where I used search magic (Ggol), I wouldn't solve all this mystery.

If we can go back in time four years before Israel's doom, all the details of what the hell happened at the time will be more detailed. But unfortunately now the truth is that there is only fragmentary information and circumstantial evidence.

What we know for sure now is that Chutai - Prince Algoat Reheim is looking for help to break the curse.

"Pick him up and take him home."

I wanted to borrow your wisdom.

It is Lentomia who can count on Sir Apras A. Jill, president of the Magic Society of the Kingdom. Finally, I would like to ask the witch Alberina for her opinion as well.

But unfortunately, they are still in the process of examining the remains of the Demon King's Castle in Dickamaran. Apparently, it will be over tomorrow, but then it will take a few more days to cross the desert and return to the King's Capital.

If I fly out to pick you up tomorrow morning on the Sky Turtle, I'll be back in a day round trip.

"... it's the second round trip, but it's the only thing I can do."

I got up with my heavy hips up. It was dark outside the window of the study, but the light of the royal castle shined like a lighthouse.
