The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (WN)

Behind the Scenes 21 Advice from Friends

I'm Valdeck from the Medicinal Plant Lab. Is Lord Hawk here?

"I'm sorry." The leader hasn't come back from the training ground yet.... "

"I see... can I have a moment?"

"Yes. Then...... Ah, Commander!"

Visiting the Third Knights, Johan called out to the knight in front of Alberto's office, the head of the Knights' Corps.

I visited without warning, so I checked to see if Albert was in the room, but unfortunately he was away.

However, it seemed that Albert had not returned after the knight's tone, as his destination was the training ground in the Knights' Palace.

So, when I was checking with the knight to see if Johan could keep me waiting, Albert appeared in good time.

There was still some distance to the office, but Albert, who recognized Johan's appearance, was disfavored.

Raising one hand to say hello to Johan is the same as usual.

(I thought you might be worried about the rumor, but you were sad.)

Johan also raised his hand and responded, smiling bitterly that it might have been overprotective.

What's the matter?

"I need to talk to you."

"I see. Come in."

Albert, who had come to Johan's side, spoke to him with a smile on his face.

When I showed him the paperwork I had in my hand, Alberto thought it was as important as the lab's obsession.

Only Johan went through the office and paid the bill.

"So, what's the story?"

"The story is the truth of the rumors that have spread lately."

Rumor?

"Ah, Lord Sei and Lord Dreves. Don't you want to hear it?"

When I heard the rumor, Albert didn't have any verses to think of, and he had a strange look on his face.

However, when Johan laughed and named Sei and Yuri, it seemed that he had noticed which rumor.

Albert let out a smile and sighed heavily.

Albert's stunned gaze is more against Johan than against rumors.

Sometimes Johan tries to get along with Sae, and this visit must have brought rumors to his attention.

(I was worried about you today.)

Even though he was surprised by Albert's attitude, Johan realized that it was due to his own attitude every day.

Therefore, without saying anything in your heart, you can only give back a bitter smile.

Well, it wasn't a big deal.

Is that so?

“Yeah, I heard a lot from Sae, but there's a lot of rumors going around.”

You don't seem to care more about rumors than you think.

Johan, who had received it from Albert's attitude, became dumbfounded and relaxed his shoulders.

And then I started talking about the opera day I heard from Sae.

"In the end, it seems that you were talking about the" "Lights" "in the play."

I see. Sei is also talking about magic unexpectedly.

"The opponent is Lord Dreves." I must have thought about it and started talking about magic. "

Ah, that's very likely.

From the place where Yuri invited me to watch the play, I inadvertently got excited about the "light" of life magic, and when I returned home, I realized that I had barely remembered the content of the play, so I dented it.

And he spake of the words which he had heard from Sais, in order.

As rumored, the conversation between Sei and Yuri seems to have played out.

From the side, it certainly seemed intimate.

However, Johan said that it was a conversation between researchers.

I don't know about Yuri, but at least Sei isn't aware of it.

Johan said that it was clear from Sei's expression when he was talking about watching the play that love was not intertwined.

Having finished listening to Johan, Albert, who had no concern for the wind, laughed in relief.

However, the next moment, I changed my expression to something bitter.

What's the matter?

"No... I thought Sei was going to the theater."

"I was surprised too." I didn't think you'd like that aristocratic place very much. "

“Me too. If Sae didn't like it, I should have invited her.”

"What? You wanted to invite me first?"

"That's right. Are you sorry?"

Johan spurted out when he saw Gitori and Alberto half-eyed, as if he had reopened his doors without moving.

Then, after laughing all the time, I changed my expression to something serious and made my own guess.

"The Marquis probably thought about this." I think Lord Dreves only followed his instructions. "

“I think so too. You want to bury the moat and hold the Commander of the Dreves in your fiancee's seat.”

"Do you think so, too?"

Ah, I think you're trying to take the position of division commander and Saintess of the court magic division against House Hawk.

"I see. The Marquis is said to have a strong desire for power."

It seems that what Johan was thinking was what Alberto was thinking.

This time, the two thought that it was Marquis Dreves who instructed Yuri to invite Sei to the play.

There's no doubt that the aim is Sei's fiancée.

Albert's motives for the Marquis of Dreves were speculated by Albert's brother, the Minister of the Arms, Joseph.

Johan was convinced when compared to the figure of the marquis who was spoken of in the social world.

And since Sei's engagement went up to the stage, Johan, who thought it was a good opportunity, told him what he had been thinking for a while.

"Hey, I know it's a bit of a bother, but maybe it's time to take action?"

Sei is a [Holy Maiden], and her status in the Srantanian Kingdom was originally high.

They also have a good reputation with regional lords for crushing monsters and developing dishes using local specialties.

The cosmetics sold at the chamber of commerce are very popular not only with nobles, but also with wealthy ordinary ladies, who make a lot of profits.

In the study of medicinal plants, which is the main business of assays, we have created an unbelievable substitute that can cure all condition abnormalities, which is universal medicine.

Recently, it has been said that the interest in the land may be transferred from the royal family in the form of an individual laboratory.

Some are secret, but even with the publicly available information alone, there are many who want to connect with the Seal, and this situation is increasing over time.

There are different ways of connecting fringes, but the strongest is by marriage.

Therefore, despite the fact that the fiancée of [Saintess] has the condition that she comes from a house more than the count's house, many people name her as a candidate for the fiancée of Sei.

There are of course applications from the Marquis family above the Marquis family, which is Albert's home, and some are better than Albert in terms of family ties and property.

Still, Albert's step out now is due to Sei's feelings.

Conversely, if Sei's feelings change, Albert's superiority will suddenly collapse.

There were not many who were aiming for this gap, and Johan was worried about being pushed through it.

And finally, he inspired Albert to act to establish his superiority.

"That's right..."

Both Johann and Albert understand that Sei is very good at romance.

That's why Johan was watching, and Albert was gradually closing the distance.

However, not only Johan but also Albert felt that the time limit was approaching.

At Johann's advice, Albert nodded with a strange look, his eyes drowned.
