The sight was also shocking to Leticia Risetta Stone.

It unilaterally smashes the Esther Blue Forest, which was winning with overwhelming strength.

What was most frightening was that it was established by a force other than magic.

Thorough opponent analysis and behavioral tracing.

I stand around looking forward to seeing the future.

(That girl, how much...)

Thinking about the amount of research behind it, Letitia was a little too busy.

He was a top-notch worker in the Royal Magic Division.

Leticia has been struggling to get him off the job of stealing our eyes.

There shouldn't be much time left.

Research and repetition that has reached madness.

He devotes all his life to it.

(Because it's all about being close to someone you're passionate about, it's pure or stupid)

But that's why we can't leave them alone.

At least I want to be rewarded a little.

Even if it was an unfulfilled love that disappeared.

I want the curtain to be as unharmed as possible.

I even think of such meddling.

Do I look like a fool to you?

He looks sideways at the thoughts of the man sitting next to him.

What is she thinking?

"Luke..."

Swaying eyes.

A look that contains something that doesn't take shape.

The look on her face looked like a girl she was only in love with a little bit.

(Huh? Could this be?)

A bouncing heartbeat.

I waited for her words to follow with a hint of anticipation.

"Damn it, I'll go first again... forgive me, I'll definitely eat you up, look...!"

…………

How did that happen?

I held my head to the diagonal reaction and then smiled.

Two beloved Moga juniors.

I hope that their lives will be abundant in Moga, which is no less unbeatable.

"I'm sorry." I lost. "

In the drawing room after the match.

In response to Esther's words, Evangeline said:

"It's okay, the battle is lucky. It wasn't your day, that's all."

Shake the cup of tea before mouthing.

"That said, it must have been a learning battle for you." The years facing the magic power were definitely not the same. When it comes to that match, your millennium was no match for the amount of research you could do in one of his matches. "

“That's right, I never dreamed I'd be there looking up and doing something about it.”

"It's a splendid thing. Perhaps you've been preparing to dedicate all of your life to it. If I can throw myself this far, I'll change my story. Maybe he can get to me, too.”

Is the other one that little one?

Yeah, but...

Evangeline nods in anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Lady Evangeline." I don't think she has that much power. There is no doubt that he is a talented wizard. It is understandable that it is a gemstone that could make a name in the history of the human world. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to reach the domain of Lord Evangelin. "

"I know what you mean." There are many people who share the same opinion. But the important thing is invisible. I expect a monster to sleep in her back. "

Monster?

“Yes, she still has something incalculable.”

Then he narrowed his eyes like a child on the eve of his birthday, and Evangeline said.

"I want to drag it out." I can't help but look forward to it anymore. "

◇◇◇

Country by country.

Overwhelming the semi-winner of the last tournament, Luke, who had made it to the quarter-finals, stood out as a potential winner of the tournament.

"Oh, my God..."

"I'll be left behind..."

It goes without saying that I was driven by impatience when I saw such a figure.

I don't want to lose to anybody else, but--no, I don't want to lose to Luke anyway.

I can no longer afford to choose my means.

No matter what kind of hand you use, you have to hold on to Luke...!

With the magic punch (physics) and the magic head poke (physics), I managed to make it to the quarter-finals.

My battle style is very different from other wizards. I was very popular as a "Woman with a Stone Head for One Strike Special", and recently I told the children of Sealed City, "My head is amazing!” I often get a voice.

Although there are some unwillingness, I decided to warmly accept it as a graceful and lazy adult girl full of grace.

Practice hard to meet everyone's expectations!

What I'm trying to do now is stop the magic that the Secretary-General showed me.

Beautiful golden magic ceremony.

I also wanted to draw such a magic ceremony.

Goodbye, I'll try, but it's not going to work.

Hmmm, I think it was a kind of mechanical structure.

While staring at the magic formula and inspecting it,

"Yeah, I think it's well done." I don't think there are that many wizards who can reproduce this in just a moment. "

Swaying vine-colored hair. Sleeping lotus fragrance.

I'm surprised that the general secretary is right next door.

Hey, hello!

"Don't be so hard on me. Feel free to call me Kronos oniisan."

"No, no, that's true."

"No one calls me oniisan. I miss you."

The Secretary-General says after a sad look on his face.

"That magic ceremony won't start because it's not your magic ceremony." Because the formula structure there is optimized for my use. Physical constitution, habits, magic power, magic manipulation accuracy, arm length, magic drawing speed, skeleton, muscle attachment - all of these things are taken into consideration. That's why even if you use it, it won't start well. "

Continue in a calm voice.

"The important thing is to draw your magic ceremony." Draw your own magic ceremony, like painting on a pure white canvas. Love fills the details, and you give shape to yourself with prayers. After many attempts, you will fail a lot. "

"Leave it to me! I'm good at that kind of muddy stuff."

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

After a gentle nod, the Secretary-General says:

"I came here today because I wanted to ask you to do me a favor." I had a lot of options, but I was wondering if it was best to ask you. "

"Please? What?"

"Your partner (Buddy) and best friend." About Luke-kun. "

"Ahh, he's in shape with a potential winner, right?" Ok, I'll keep it tight. ”

"No, it's not."

It seems to be different.

Well, what the hell is that?

While pretending to wonder like that, I noticed somewhere.

What does the general secretary care about?

And why is Leticia carefully staring at Luke's practice?

If he wants to hide it, let's pretend he didn't notice.

That's how I kept my eyes off it.

Could it be that he's injured?

"I was aware of that."

"I've known you for a long time, so that's about it."

"Yeah. Probably in the back where the healing magic doesn't reach." I think it's a spine injury. "

Even if I was not familiar with magic medicine, I sensibly knew that it was an injury that should not be easily thought of.

"It's not a serious symptom at the moment. As you can see, if you rest for a month, you should be cured without any problems. But if you make it worse in battle, the story will change."

Secretary General Kronos says.

“There's a chance you might not be able to walk. In some cases, magic may not work as it does now. You may not be able to work as a magician in the Royal Palace."

Luke can no longer continue to be a Royal Palace Magician.

The words shook me hard.

Take it easy.

Tell yourself to calm down.

Don't let your emotions take you by mistake and make important choices.

As a best friend, I have to make the best choice for him.

“Okay, I'll talk to you.”

A dormitory after dinner.

I slammed the door of Luke's room.

"I wanted to talk to you."

Luke was a little confused.

But it seems that I felt something when I said, "Because it's an important story."

They let me through the room.

Elegant and slightly sweet soapy scent.

The smell of him.

"Luke, you're hiding your injuries."

Luke pushed for a moment and then nodded, "Yeah."

"I was pretending not to notice. I think Leticia had the same problem. I knew I had to stop, but I couldn't. I was aware that Luke was hanging out in this tournament. I've seen you work harder than anyone.”

I say.

"This tournament has a special meaning for Luke, right? That's only one thing more important than what I said a while ago. To fulfill a wish that I really want to fulfill."

Continue with your choice of words.

"I can't decide the answer." I don't want Luke to force me. I am afraid that my injury will get worse and that it will be irreversible. I hate that Luke won't be able to walk, or that he won't be able to continue as a Royal Palace Magician. But if the wish you want to fulfill is really important, Like magic to me in the magician era, if you want to give up and you can't stay on your own anymore. It's my duty as a best friend to support you. I don't think so. "

Luke answered nothing.

"That's why I want you to tell me." To give you an answer. To make a choice without regrets "

I said.

“What's the only thing Luke really cares about?”
