The Prodigy Sefiria’s Overpowering Program

It's been about three days since I lost my voice.

There have been desperate searches since then, but unfortunately the Black Girl (Lil 'l) has not been able to be found.

Have you already fled the capital, or are you hiding yourself with some kind of magic again...

Even assuming you're no longer in Imperial Capital, now that I've been greatly weakened, it's going to be a big deal if Lille is going to take a powerful demon tribe and raid Imperial Capital.

In other words, what is required of me is an early resurrection as a magician.

No matter how weak I remain, if anything happens to my village, I can't go help you right away. Because the magic of long distance travel cannot be used, it takes three days each way to travel by carriage.

How many magic traps and dozens of beasts are constantly eyeing each other, there is no peace of mind.

I can't sleep at night because I'm anxious about this......!

That's why I decided to embark on a journey to the 'Republic of Easberg', the manufacturer of the magic clay (Shikoku) nestled in my neck, in order to regain my voice.

... If you just destroy the collar, it's easy for me right now. But even if you think about it, what if you were to manufacture a collar to restrain the sorcerer so that the sorcerer could do something about it himself?

If I were you, I would incorporate a mechanism that would be enough to "extinguish a space with a few meters radius when the collar mass is below a certain level".

In other words, while the detailed program of the collar is unclear, the current situation is that you can't get your hands on it without darkness.

If possible, ask the person involved in the production of this collar to explain the situation and remove it. Even if that's not possible, the purpose of this journey is to get information about the collar and find a solution.

The truth is, I thought I'd wait for one of the Magic Instructors to return to the Empire before leaving, but apparently all three of you were on the front lines of the battlefield and I hadn't heard from them.

Even if I could get in touch with them, it seems that it will be a week to two before they arrive in the capital, so in the end I decided not to wait for them, but to leave.

If I'm just gone and the defense of the Empire is going to be devastated, I don't think I can help but perish. Well, with His Majesty here, that won't happen.

I'll leave the Empire to you, and I'll concentrate on my journey.

Initially, I intended to take only one person, Mr Nervia, to the Republic.

If I was in perfect condition, I'm sure Reggie might have thought about taking me too.

However, due to my current significant weakening, I also have a suspicious situation as to whether I can beat Reggie. Maybe not only Reggie, but also losing to the mighty enemies we encounter in the Republic.

That's when Reggie, the mighty absolutist beast, thought he was afraid to turn the flag against me, obeying his opponent.

I told Reggie to be honest without covering up. Then,

"... why not... you're the only one my husband is! I wouldn't betray your husband if he got weak! Believe me...!

My surprise at being told that with a face that was about to cry was considerable.

Reggie and I have been dating for a little over a month, but I thought he had nothing to like but “strength”.

I mean, maybe he was deciding on his own that there's nothing like an animal man being attracted to others in terms other than strength.

So when I told him, "Go to Alhi, go home with your friends," he was quite confused that Reggie was following me.

And surprisingly, the other one.

Kaylis Paltritt-kun, a servant who serves my "reverse scale mansion," has said he will accompany me on my journey.

To be honest, I wanted him to come with me.

That's also why the three of us, other than Kaylis, are devastating in chores in general... apart from that, he had an unexpected ability.

It's called lip reading.

It's the technique of watching your lips move and reading what your opponent is saying.

As it stands, I only have the means to communicate with others by gesturing (body language).

For that reason, when he found out he could use lip reading, he thought only a little bit, "Wonder if you could follow me on the journey" etc.

At the same time, though, I knew that Kaylis had no interest in anyone else, and I was convinced that he didn't have as much interest in me as a hair.

So when I said he would accompany me on a journey, etc., I seriously thought I would be wrong to hear.

I told him he wouldn't have to live in the mansion while I was gone or he'd pay me even while I was gone, but he still said he'd follow.

... What the hell happened to him? Did you hit your head somewhere or something...?

Mr. Nelvia seemed surprised by his unexpected offer, too.

And that Mr. Nervia, speaking, no longer tries to leave me more than ever.

Because while I was intentionally keeping her away, I discovered that I was being persecuted by the people of the Imperial capital, that I was in danger of my life by surprise raids by demons lurking in the Imperial capital, and that I was in a lot of terrible sights.

As far as I'm concerned, it was meant to be kind of her not to have problems with the people of the Empire.

Besides, she won't have very good memories of the Knightly Monastery, so it was also a concern to keep her out of contact with the Knightly Monastery people...

Anyway, that's the first time I've been hit with anger emotions by Mr. Nelvia.

Then, Mr. Nervia began to ignore all the orders I made to prioritize or care for others….

By the way, what an Emperor Verhazard was the earliest person to rush to me when I was told via the Knights that I had been raided.

As soon as His Majesty heard the news, he flew out of the castle, and with the momentum just shaking off the Kingsguards rushing after him, he came out to the monastery where I lay.

And confirming that I was unexpectedly well, His Majesty leaked his relieved breath and said in a gentle voice, "Well done, I was safe".

And then he lifted me up and said, "I'm sorry," and so on, and he carried me to the hospital.

Still, I don't think there's anything like your majesty worrying or apologizing for me being only one magician...

And I'm Bishop Kalkizar...

He was quite catching up with himself, and from what he heard, he pleaded with His Majesty, "I want you to condemn me to death and redeem me for my sins".

I don't know how far my testimony that he was only used and that his philosophy of action was always for the imperial people and my plea for forgiveness affected him, but it seems that death penalty was avoided somehow.

I visited him once in prison worried, but he hadn't eaten anything since he was imprisoned, and his whole body was lean and thin like a dead tree.

To him that whoever said anything did not listen and kept praying indifferently, when I magically destroyed the keys to the hut, I tried to hold his head and hug him, as I did to Mr. Nelvia whenever.

And he handed him the letter that Mr. Nelvia asked him to represent, and he left the prison behind.

... somehow now, I hope you get back on your feet...

The absence of Bishop Kalkizar seems to have given the Kudist monks and knights a form of absorption by the celebrities led by Bishop Crucea.

There has been one convent that has been divided into two factions so far, and what is going to happen... well, I'm talking about that Bishop of Crucea, so it will bring them together for what is good.

Looks like the Kudist monks are taking the lead day and night in the service. Exactly, because if we all go to jail like Bishop Kalkizar, we're in a lot of trouble.

Ms Nervia says that one of the doctrines of the valiant faith is the phrase "prohibition of suicide". Well, it's common in religion.

And Ms Nelvia ran out of words that if suicide had not been forbidden, the monks and knights of the Kurumi, including the bishop, must have committed suicide.

No, no, it's such a big deal...... and I don't have a shard of faith in me. Something makes me think that looking at Mr. Nelvia's serious obsession made my spine cold, wondering if that might have been possible.

And apparently, the people of Imperial Capital have been told the truth about this incident by His Majesty. Mmm, something extra...

What the hell did they think when they knew they were being used for good by their enemies?

I'm sure it would be awkward to face me, so since the incident, I've left Empire City behind without ever having to face them.

Yes, no, you didn't freak out that I'd still be accused of letting the Demons get away with it after I weakened you, did you? There's no dust at all!

... Well, look, the Magic Instructor washing machine stays running, so you won't have anything to complain about without me.

One day when I come back, I'd be glad to be greeted with a little favor.

By the way, if I told you that I had weakened, the people of the Empire might be anxious, so I decided that I had left the Empire to fight on the front lines.

Well, from what I hear, the Easberg Republic takes more than a month by carriage from the Imperial capital Beorant.

... Did Black Girl (Lil 'l) go back and forth this distance for one of these collars? What, is that kid so free?

A month in a carriage seems like a hell of a distance if you normally think about it...... if I am in full condition, it will be a calculation that I can run in about five hours.... Thinking about it, you're some kind of sucky human being, me.

But now, I can only use seven weak magic for self-defense. This trip will be shaken by a carriage for a quiet month.

By the way, on that long journey His Majesty was desperately stopped by Chancellor Cellard by saying that he was obsessed with "Let's follow the rest" and so on, or even more so when he found out it wouldn't come true, it was hard this time to try to escort a large army.

Even though I'm gone and the protection of the Imperial Capital is weaker, you can't cut any more power. Naturally, I politely declined.

There's Mr. Nelvia and Reggie, and it won't be rare, will it?

That's why the three of you who come about my journey were living in the Reverse Scale Mansion.

By the way, I asked Nelvia and Reggie and Kaylis if I could see the carriage, and here was the answer to each one.

"Eh, you can ride horses. Maybe it feels the same, doesn't it? It's okay!"

It's not okay at all.

"Two horses? You can eat for a week."

Go home.

"Well, that's how normal you can do it"

... I think I'll just take Kaylis with me now.

Now, if my traveling magic can't be athe and this much further, then naturally there will be a serious problem.

Yes, I can't go back to the village......!!

This was, at first, a rather troubling issue.

I have never been able to return to the village since that day because the long-distance travel magic was no longer available at the time I was fitted with a collar in the first place.

For once, the contact pigeon flies and explains the situation, so I don't think we're all worried.

But not being able to see your mother's or brother's face every day was quite a shock.

So much so that I seriously thought about taking the two of you on a journey.

That's how I finally made my decision after worrying through my troubles.

… to "leave my family”.

Like the enemies that have attacked us this time, it is not necessarily the case that those who use cunning means will not appear in the future.

If I had taken care of my family openly then my mother and brother would undoubtedly be targeted.

Until now, near Imperial Capital, I had bracketed the height that so few enemies would come, but I was saddened that when and where the enemies did not always strike from.

Besides, I was thinking that there wouldn't be any likes of things that would come after me personally, even if there were people who would go after the Empire... I can't say that from now on, more than I've been treated as a brave man.

That's why in the future, you can't be perfect for a mother or brother who can't always be near me.

It was something that reason had always known, but I kept sending it forward without being able to make any decisions... but this time, I finally decided with a firm will!

... But if I went to see him even once, my decision would surely shake, so I went directly from the Empire to the Republic, not to the village.

Thus the four of us embarked on a journey to regain my “voice”.
