"... well. Welcome back again. Duchess of Farrence."

The Tower Master's office... in other words, in the Tower of Magic, which stands at the center of this Tower of Magic, in the room on the top floor, Candella Rio said.

He and I are sitting on a fine sofa with tea placed on the table in front of us.

I drank it, wet my mouth slightly, and then answered Candella Rio's words.

Elaine, master of the tower.

"I don't mind Candella Rio, Lord Elaine."

Well, that's sweet of you to say, Mr. Candelario.

"Honestly, I don't need the Lord... because you're the Duchess, but you're just a civilian in your capacity."

"There can't be anyone who treats the Lord of the Tower like a civilian."

"... isn't that right? Recently, a nobleman came, but he was nothing but a civilian. I don't care about that... but I don't even have a minimum of courtesy when visiting someone else's base. I was in trouble."

"... there are many kinds of nobles."

I replied nothing, but the meaning of Candella Rio's words was a little nail stabbing that you wouldn't be such a nobleman.

Of course, I'm not going to ruin Candela Rio's manners, but in the first place...

"Speaking of which, it's late, but I apologize for the gate. I'm really sorry... but I was hoping that the Duke of Farrence would pay for it."

It is the entrance where you were told that you can go through any way.

However, it is true that you destroyed someone else's belongings, and it would be polite to apologize.

I could say I shouldn't have broken it in the first place, but that didn't relieve my stress.

The people of this Tower don't know anything about what happened before, but they still do.

In addition, I thought I could grasp his character to some extent by how Candella Rio would respond to this.

Human nature comes out when you're angry.

If you get so angry, Candella Rio is a relatively easy person to give to me.

On the contrary, if you don't seem to mind at all... I'll remember the opposite.

... I'm sure it's probably the latter.

In fact, Candella Rio laughed loudly at my apology,

"... fufufufu! This is this. I didn't expect you to apologize. Our tradition of making such an entrance is bad in the first place. First of all, with the method of straightforward attack... that is, solving the mystery of the Poetry, using wisdom as a force and opening the door is basically the idea of the Magic Tower... but there is also a way to show enough power to destroy it. Therefore, no compensation is required at all. Besides, rebuilding the main gate will also be a good practice for those below."

"Are the junior magicians rebuilding it?

Many of the magic hanging at that main gate is not such a structure that a junior magician can create.

I really need the power of a high-ranking magician.

And yet...

Candella Rio answers my question in that sense.

"Most of the parts... bricks and so on. However, it is still the high-ranking magicians who actually assemble it. I'm sure Tobias will be the main player this time. You are the man who beat him to pieces, but you are still quite talented in this Tower. I'm hoping to give him the Lord's seat in this Tower. And yet you... For the record, what kind of magic has blocked the magic of the magicians?

"By blocking the nerves of the Magic Organ with magic arrows, the production of magic is temporarily stopped. It's a very difficult way to aim when your strength is reversed, so I can't use it....."

Magic organ means an organ that produces magic, but it is not that such an organ actually exists in the body.

In the human body, that's what we call the center of the place where magic is created, and that's what we call the flow of nerves.

And this is skewed by people.

It's not the same in most places, like the heart.

But I have a way of seeing and feeling them.

On the contrary, it was a way of doing things that could not have been done without the technology.

It seems that Candella Rio soon understood that.

"I see... Elaine sees the Magic Organ and the flow of its nerves clearly... and Elaine can afford to block them if they're against those who were there."

"I can't afford it."

"I know you're not humbled. Those who were there were certainly mid-level magicians except Tobias... but I really appreciate you disabling them without taking their lives. It would have been easier for you to kill with the same effort. You also knew that you could not complain about the Magic Tower. Nevertheless, I dared to disable it....."

"No, the main gate was destroyed, but I didn't mean to take anybody's life..."

Candela Rio does this because the existence of the "Magic Tower" is basically a group with the philosophy that "power is everything".

Since Candela Rio is the Tower Master, the magicians who belong to the Tower seem quite moderate, but the Tower of Magic in other countries is even more inhumane, and it is even a place of grand grabbing.

And that's more common.

That is why it is difficult to complain even if such groups are ravaged by force.

Of course, the attacker will complain from the Magic Tower, but from the point of view of ordinary people, the Magic Tower has a feeling like some kind of rogue nest.

The Tower Lord's status has also been replete with a history of bloody rivalry.

It was truly an exception that a type like Candela Rio was the Lord of the Tower.

"Thank you very much for saying that. I don't have a long way to go. I don't want to see young people scatter their lives as much as possible....."
