"Are you serious?

In front of me is curaine main, director of magic.

Curraine is a woman who does not fit the position, but only looks in the second half of the twenties, her waist is elegant, and her beauty is not so great as to be inclined.

However, the power of magic hardly existed to the right in this country, and alongside the lord of the Tower of Magic, Candella Rio, he was one of the owners of magic in the Istward Kingdom.

However, the actual age is not exactly what it looks like.

Anyone can readily understand that ear, but she is an ancient species… that is, one of a special species called Elves, whose life is longer than normal humans, and therefore Curraine is said to be well over a hundred years old.

However, I do not know the details of the exact age because she was never asked or answered, and because she returned to her hometown, the Forest of the Holy Purity, the last time.

In the first place, I wonder why ancient noble species like her belong to a popular nation such as Istward, even though it is a big country there.

Ancient noble species are usually not limited to the Popular people, but they quite underestimate other species. Therefore, it is impossible to say that they are proud, or worse, because their pride is higher than mountains, so it is impossible to say that they belong to the president of magic science in the Popular people's country.

And yet...

However, I was just asking questions about my appointment to the Junior Department of the Magic Academy, which was not close to her and was a problem for the time being.

Curaine answered me with a smile.

"Seriously, what? Master Elaine, given your track record, no one would be surprised if you targeted the chair of the Dean of Magic rather than the director of the junior department of the Magic Academy. At the very least, I have no idea that we are making a disproportionate request."

"But... in Istward, there is a general principle that noble wives have the primary duty to support their husbands and devote the rest of their time to protecting their homes. From that point of view, my appointment as director of Magic Academy Elementary School is to set up a chair for the owner of other houses who are good at magic."

To be honest, this was convenient.

Indeed, if it is an old-fashioned value, there is a value in the Istward Kingdom that men should go to work and women should protect their homes.

However, since there is a power that can be exerted by both men and women, such as magic, and the proportion of those who complete high grades in magic academies is almost equal to that of men and women, it can be said that it is almost a shape-shaped idea.

Because the cold-blooded encounter with a woman with a powerful magical ability who believes in the extreme value that it is a man who comes forward to fight is linked to the decline of the state.

Therefore, it is a slightly painful way to say it, but at first, it was a judgment to say this kind of obvious rejection and see how it goes.

It's only a matter of fact that Curraine laughed at Karakara.

"One of the most active actresses in Istoward in recent years, what does it say about the less grandiose one? Lined up with Elaine... that's Celine, the witch of the Prophecy... yes, just like me. Rather, if that old idea is spreading to this country, we should jump it all out. Don't you think so?

Kick it lightly.

I think I named Celine because I know that I'm her best friend.

And by arranging their names there, they claim to be friends.

I think it's quite suspicious that you're really a companion so far...

Well, it wouldn't have been good if I had said no too far in the first place.

Turn the direction, and let's be clear this time.

"... I'm so sorry about that. Even women are now more active than men. That's why I say weak things... it wasn't good for women who want to go out into society right now. However... I am still the director of the junior department..."

"I read all your papers."

What?

"The demonstration and classification of special magic and the outlook for the future have been discussed in great detail, and all were supported by a solid basis and comparison of experimental results. I have also been studying special magic for many years. But... I couldn't finally build a theory with results like yours. No, it could have taken a hundred years from now. But... before that, you completed it."

"Oh, no... that's a cover."

"I am more familiar with special magic than anyone else, and I will not buy it. You are now more familiar with special magic than anyone. I also sensorially understood what that meant... that special magic is indeed in this world, and that its number rises to quite a few. And by being looked at, it also prevents the birth of talented magicians. But your research will break the tide. I would really like to cooperate to that end. Elaine... I respect you. For the ancient noble species, the feeling that the Popular people are not a very capable species is common, but thanks to meeting you, the preconceptions have disappeared. Would you please do me a favor?"

Curaine lowers her head deeply.

I wonder if there are people who can refuse to be so ancient and noble.

Their pride is higher than the mountain.

The result of my refusal was too frightening, and I was finally nodded by the wish.
