"Expedition to the Western Region?
Luke told me when he heard back.
"Yes, the prince has nominated you again."
"Hmm...."
For the second time, I still have no sense of reality at all.
I was supposed to be the one who got fired from the local Magician's Guild and didn't have anywhere to work.
Why is this happening?
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that it is a thankful story.
The rank has also risen, and it is also used as a royal magician in magical battles in my field of expertise.
I want to be myself.
To be me who can compete with Luke equally.
We can't stop yet.
"But why the expedition?
"The details are down.However, they were summoned to participate in the Goblin King Crusade in the Forest of Thin Mist.I'm guessing there's something close. "
Are you saying that there will be another Disaster designated monster?
"I think you should be prepared for that."
In Luke's words, I hold my fist in hiding.
Having such a strong monster is also my chance to achieve results.
If we work hard and get promoted quickly, we might be able to update Luke's shortest record this time.
Update and brag as much as you can!
I secretly made up my mind, but there was only one thing that bothered me.
"I'd love to take part in an expedition, but I need two days off before that."
"What do you got?
"My mom's going out to a local reunion, but she's worried about me, so she wants me to come."
A town on the western border where I used to live as a magician.
To get from King's Landing, we need to arrange a carriage and teach you the way.
My mother, who grew up in the countryside and is not good at this kind of procedure, seems to want my help.
"I'm sorry, it's an urban legend to have a holiday, and I know it's impossible to ask..."
You told me to drop it.
"No, it's not impossible at all."
Luke sighed and smiled.
"Take your time and be filial."
To my surprise, I really got a light holiday.
It exists systematically, but in reality, I thought it could only be used when there is illness or misfortune in my family.
Don't be afraid, the white working environment...!
So I went with my mother to the western border town.
"Hey, Noel.How have you been with him lately?
That's not why I'm talking to Luke.
I was shook by a carriage while listening to my mother's "Marry Me" attack.
In the countryside where she arrived, her mother smiled and said.
"Thank you. I'm coming."
"Yeah, go ahead."
Waving her hand to see her off to the reunion meeting point.
The town hasn't changed at all.
It's a bit unpleasant to be reminded.
"Absolutely. After three years of service, I can only make crystal balls for anyone.I want you to be who you hired me to be. "
I can't work and treat it uselessly.
Workplace where you were fired.
I wanted to do a magical job.
But you can't hire me anywhere.
I'm sorry, but I'd like to stop hiring you this time.
I was depressed because I wasn't needed.
Somehow, I don't want to go near my previous workplace.
Walk in the opposite direction to escape.
What I heard unexpectedly was a voice from behind.
"Noel...!?Noel!
Somewhere a strange bouncing voice.
Turning around, I couldn't hold back my high chest when I turned into a fine adult.
"Eh, Nina!?No, it's been a long time!
Nina Lawrence.
There was a friend who was playing like he did every day before he joined the sorcery academy.
Nina and I met at the dawn of tree climbing and bug hunting.
Nina, who had been bullied by a bad kid, was the one who helped her.
The Ultimate Wizard Noel is here!If you want to bully this kid, you'll have to defeat me!
At the time, I was in a shithole.
Anyway, I wanted to dissipate the energy in my body outside, and I had no choice but to defeat the bullies around me who could beat me without guilt. I was afraid by the bad kids as the "most beautiful woman in the west".
Screw it! Ultra Super Final Goddamn Punch!
I couldn't help but get close to the Wizard I yearned for.
But I don't know how to do it, so I did something with my fist for now.
Shit! Remember!
Fufu! Justice wins!
I was proud of being defeated in 400 fights like that, but when I realized I could be liked by the children who helped me.
Nina was a girl who particularly admired me.
Nina, the daughter of a wealthy house, has just moved into the countryside.
I don't get used to it.
Bullies keep an eye on me.
It seems that I was able to help you where you were worried.
Noel is amazing!It's cool!
I'm glad you praise me.
Nina started following me when she went to talk a lot.
Nina brightens her eyes and tells her how to climb a tree or punch a bully.
From Nina, who grew up as a young lady, it seems that my daily routine of running around the wilderness without being able to buy toys was fresh anyway.
I want to be like Noel.
One day, Nina told me.
"Go to a boy older than yourself and help a kid who's being bullied.I may not be able to, but I want to get a little closer. "
I've never been told that, and I'm so happy.
But at the same time, I admired Nina.
Unlike me, who was eating grass instead of snacks, Nina was elegant at every single one of them.
I can play the violin and dance well.
I know a lot of things, I'm grown up, I know things.
Above all, Nina had a lot of books in her house.
There were many magical books that I could not read no matter how much I wanted to.
I'm really flattered.
Nina said to me with a sigh.
If you're Noel, you can borrow as much as you want.It's my grandfather's book, so nobody's reading it anymore. "
How grateful the words were to me.
I read the faded magic books obsessively.
I think it was probably because of this experience that I started reading old magic books.
I was able to pass the Magic Academy in King's Landing thanks to the environment in which Nina was able to study.
So I really appreciate Nina.
Since I started going to the magic academy in King's Landing, I've been looking forward to playing with you again.
But on the first day of my homecoming,
I stood all the way down the usual path.
Nina's mansion was empty.
Mr. Lawrence? Oh, you moved in.Because your daughter's respiratory condition has improved. "
Because I'm Nina, the daughter of a wealthy house.
It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized what it was because I was a child.
I thought I'd never see you again, so I'm really happy for a sudden reunion.
I have a lot to talk about.
However, Nina smiled and said to me that she didn't know where to start.
You've become a royal magician.
"Do you know!?
"Yeah, I knew as soon as I heard your name.I wasn't surprised to hear that it was very useful.Because it's Noel. "
An expression of trust in me that is not different from the old days.
"No, it was pretty tough being rubbed by the rough waves of society.I had nowhere to work for a while. "
"It's hard to be a magician when you're a girl.I know. I had a hard time too. "
"And Nina?
"But I knew I'd see you again if I worked hard."
Nina narrowed her eyes with a smile.
"Do you have time today?I'm fine. "
