The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Episode 37: Secret Room

"... this is the bottom, right?

Step by step, down the spiral stairs, we finally cut off.

Around is pitch black. Though a few lights float, I don't know the interrupted eyes of darkness. Even if it's not as big as the top tier, it seems vast.

Look up. Naturally, I don't see anything.

Still activate wind magic and explore the air.

- No, how deep is it?

If this is, as I expected, the island of the Shi Ying Sea, what kind of construction technology? Even today's magic technology can't make such a substitute.

No, more than that, why did you need to build something like this??

I can imagine it has something to do with the outrageous magic I felt when they first brought me here...

Touch the old wall.

Water containing sticky salt everywhere. A little rubbing.

"... on one side of the wall, an old magic ceremony I've never even seen,"

"Oh, I'm fine, I'm sorry"

A little head peered into me from my back.

Take the dirt and blood of your hands with water magic and stroke your head. Apparently, he liked the oval. If you're safe, I'll even give you a shoulder car if you get out of here.

Lower the toddler, bend her knees, and look at each other and ask.

"Is this where I wanted to bring you?

――――

"Oh well. Will you show me?

The young lady hugged me to my right arm as I strained.

Walk out without hesitation.

Fear there is no fine dust, and I don't see the tears I showed you the first time.

- Aren't you hungry?

Although the water looked delicious along the way.

Whatever this kid is, he's never an evil thing. Then - let's believe it. At least, I've never been wrong in a decision like this before.

Dear Corrupt Margins and 'Brave Men'... caught before judging, so out of bounds.

Still... I thought someone was coming after me from above, so I left sensory magic and simple trap magic all over the cell and spiral stairs...

"No chase. On the contrary, he hasn't even entered the cell..."

"It's okay. Thanks."

The young lady looked at me worried, so she stroked her head a little roughly. He seems happy, meditating his eyes, rocking his ears and tail. Very cute.

- If it was someone from Olgren who grabbed me, there's always a reason I brought him here on purpose.

At the beginning of his captivity, he should have received allowances from "Purple Preparation" led by that old Sir Harclay. Well, the consciousness was hazy, and I can't tell you for sure.

I somehow remember an old knight regarded as a good knight peeking into me and stating in a strong tone to a nearby medical soldier and the knights of his men who were brought here.

"- Okay." Knight "refers to someone who helps weakness, frustrates strength, and… can laugh and put his life on the line for others! Young knights of Harclay, you will never forget that. Let the likes of this Lord Allen be the norm of your life!

I was curious to hear it, and I wanted to go in.

No, I'm not a knight. I'm a tutor.

Without being able to argue, it was tiring to be praised. Next time, let's give Tina and the others a try.

... Based on history, that old knight had no idea what to do with my life. Naturally.

That one, old Sir Harclay. Make it an Olgren's hostess and a stall.

Prisoner abuse is not in the first place in that one's dictionary, the knight of the good old days.

... I guess that's why they follow such a fool.

"The knight obeys the master"?... just a little bit, sad.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm fine. Thank you. You're a really sweet girl. Thank you, Gyu."

♪♪♪

I'll give Karen a hug like I used to.

Toddler girls are as full of joy as their sister. Really, really cute.

I broke my robe and tied it before I came down, both wrists in my eyes.

I don't see the scar, but it hurts.

We need to get you out of here and get you treated with advanced healing magic.

- My stomach rattled. Oops.

A young girl looked up at me and tilted her neck.

"It just sounds like I'm getting a little hungry. Let's eat lots of good food when we get out of here."

"Huh? What's going on??

All of a sudden, a young girl grabbed my hand and ran away.

It doesn't sound like something that hurts my body, and I go on later.

Our rushing sounds echo. Tinnitus. Although the magic formula on the wall is alive, is it somewhat less potent?

- Eventually, the young girl stopped.

but I don't see anything. Even with the lights close, what's there is a void.

"Is this it? Like nothing... Huh!?

Reaching out his right hand, Zowari, ran into his spine.

This feels... worse than when I had sex with a black dragon or a four-wing demon who was ridiculously monstrous. The feeling of being able to hold your heart to fear.

But...

Toddler girl doesn't feel anything. It's more like, 'Not yet?' The expression.

... Here, it's not cool to scream. Unexpectedly bitter.

Determine your intentions and take your hands further. The feeling of something crawling through your arms. Disgusting.

My shoulders were swallowed up in the void - it arrived.

This feeling, tree...? Huh?

Awesome - No. I can't grasp the whole thing, the red magic running.

This... this magic ceremony...!

"Similar to the stuff used for the" Flaming Lin "surgical ceremony!? Well, here it is."

A soft, warm little hand wrapped around your left hand.

The fox-eared toddler smiles. It's like saying 'it's okay'.

- My heart is set.

I've already seen the magic ceremony of "Her." Then we can deal with it.

Number one, if you're afraid here.

"... not qualified to stand next to him, not qualified to be those kids' teachers,"

At once the magic ceremony of 'her' spreads.

Ma, this is as usual again.

Impossible, I am used to being happy or unhappy for difficult questions. Not this time either.

"Let me see what I can do! Pretty kids are rooting for you!!
