The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

The next day, the morning of the second day of the martial arts tournament. I headed to Morgenrote Castle, the heart of the king's capital.

Impersonate magic into the castle. A majestic interior reminiscent of churches and dioceses. In a room with a red carpet, its ceiling is high and the columns are also thick.

Unlike many soldiers and bartenders, my goal is to bring Olivia, captain of the Kingsguard with Early.

Always with a Rin look, Olivia, a sturdy lady knight, but she looked a lot tired. Probably barely asleep. I guess it's because of the suspicious group investigation we caught yesterday.

"Good morning, Olivia"

"Wow!? Ji, Lord Jin, I was surprised. What are you doing here?

You seem to have surprised me. Half intentionally, though. If you thought you were a castle soldier, it was me, so be it.

"Thank you for your work and hard work. I'm here to give you a little something."

"Giving stuff......?

"So, what did you find out about yesterday's guys?

"… this is a classified case between Kingsguard and the military."

Olivia's words are truly robust. I said it without being particularly offensive.

"Don't I trust you?

"... I don't trust you or anything like that. … We are always grateful to Lord Jin for his help"

He was a serious Kingsguard captain. The red-haired Kingsguard, who sighed small, said as he gave up.

"Yesterday's vendor, but I'm not sure how. There are no records of the Kingdom requesting repairs to the arena. And they also say they don't know why they were there and tried to install explosives."

"You confess you don't know?

"I think someone told me, some testimony. It's possible that it's shiny, and I asked them roughly, but they seem to be telling the truth."

"I mean, someone was manipulating me," he said?

"Yes, I thought it was likely. Recovered explosives are also a substitute that won't explode if the sorcerer can't magic them, so perhaps."

I had a prediction that the wizard was behind it, but if he could also use the hypnotic magic of manipulating people, I'd have to say it's pretty nasty.

"The bomb rig was disarmed here. If the wizard knew that fact, he'd be next."

"Next,"

"There are those who plan to assassinate His Majesty the King. I don't think I'm gonna give up as much as I failed once."

I don't know if it was the assassins of the Great Empire who tried to set up the bomb, or not, but I'm pretty sure the former is after them.

Olivia nodded.

"Vigilance intensifies. If it's true, I should ask you to weigh your actions at a time when Your Majesty is being targeted."

"The fact that the royal family doesn't show up at the event is bad. You wouldn't be able to say that either."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Captain Olivia, the enemy is a hypnotic magic user. Alert soldiers and Kingsguards can also be targets. Anyone approaching the royalty could be manipulated, even on his side. Don't make me put things like luggage or gift boxes in the royal gallery."

"Upon entering the room, security will confirm…"

"Can you see through, even if there was a disguised magic?

Olivia pushes silence.

"Think about it. It shouldn't be what you really need to bring into the royal gallery."

"Sure...... right. I get it. Let them all be thorough!

"Yeah, mm-hmm?"

That's where I fit in. Olivia tilted her neck.

"What's wrong?

"No, I kind of said it like I was your superior officer,"

I mock myself. I'm just an adventurer and a wizard. Olivia is the captain of the Kingsguard. I'm older at my real age, but she must think I'm twenty years old.

"No, I also looked at Lord Ginn naturally like a superior officer"

Olivia smiled bitterly.

"Thank you, Lord Jin doesn't seem younger. Sometimes I think that if I were my superior officer, I would look at my ability to deal with crises."

"Responsibilities of the Kingsguard Captain, I guess"

If the way she sees me is true, I have to say she has good eyes. Because you can't fool me by the looks and feel my real age. Maybe it's because I behave like an older person.

"So I had something for you."

I take the rings and earrings I made yesterday out of my pocket.

"Is this -?"

"The signal ring I used to want, in its simplified version, is a magic tool that flies magic and communicates"

"Whoa!"

Olivia rounds her eyes.

"Can I have it?

"Oh. It won't get very far, but you should be able to make a call if it's about Wang Du. Especially in a situation like this."

"Thank you!

It is Olivia who breaks up with each other. When I explained to him how to use the rings and earrings, respectively, I said I would like more than one for a call in the unit if possible. I thought you'd say that.

Many spectators packed the arena this day as well.

The top sixteen are in order, fewer games than yesterday, but everyone expects a more incandescent battle between those who have won.

Marcus, who lost World War III, said today it was backup. From the Actis school to the arena, as yesterday, travel on foot. Marcus, no longer without a match, was a sword and simple outfit in his uniform.

"Well, good luck."

"Try to keep up with expectations"

The entrance is different between me, the athlete, and Marcus, the general customer, so we split up there.

Well, it's my gear for the day, but it's no different than yesterday. But there was a change in appearance. More precisely, iron coated protective equipment is white.

This was polished last night by my maid Croha to remove dirt from my armor, my helmet, etc., and she said the paint had fallen off so lightly that the white primary color of the White Orihalcon became dewy.

I was a mediocre knight who seemed to be everywhere yesterday, but I just got white and it looks like I got one rank up. It stands out from its surroundings a bit, combined with its activity up to World War III. Sakilis and Kroja said that the white is definitely cooler now than before, etc.... Well, it's already been noticed so far, I hope I don't have to deceive my surroundings anymore.

As the audience's voltage rises and the sense of urgency increases, I'm going straight up to the dueling ground in the middle of the arena today.

Opponents are Shirahara (Kashihara), a fighter of the Inomata Stream and a different world. If it's a simple punch force, it's probably the strongest confrontation I've ever had with her.

Honestly, I'm the one with the headache... erm...

I'm a visor, hiding my face, and I can't see my expression around me, but I was confused in my helmet.

The audience, including the referee, goes out of their way and has a different temper than the earlier excitement.

There was no such thing as that other world high school girl on the dueling field. At the start time, there was no Shinohara, and then I waited fifteen minutes to show up.
