Tsuihou Sareta Bannou Mahou Kenshi wa, Koujou Denka no Shishou Tonaru

Me and Philia looked back at the entrance in surprise.

Has anyone woken up this late at night?

But what stood there was a completely different person than I expected.

I'm not even a resident of the mansion in the first place.

Claire, the girl in military uniform, was brought to the door and armed.

Claire stared straight at us with her gray eyes.

He hid behind me like Philia was scared and pulled my sleeve.

Claire, on the other hand, smiled with an extra look.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Her Royal Highness Philia."

"Are you... who?

"I am Claire, Ensign of the Imperial Army. Though the streets may be better, such as the sister of the Holy Knight Cleon."

Claire grinned, then moved to the center of the dining room and stood in front of us.

I put my hand on the sheath of the sword.

I'm glad I carried a treasure sword with me when I was an adventurer.

It doesn't matter what you think about Claire sneaking into the mansion without a word this late at night.

"How did Claire get into this mansion?

"If it's about the juncture, let me break it. The reason I came to this mansion yesterday was because I wanted to see Mr. Solon, but the other was to know the structure of the junction from the inside."

"Even if we figure out the structure of the junction, Claire shouldn't be able to break a junction made of witchcraft. Because…"

"Yes. I have no magic, so it would be impossible to break the magic line if I were normal. But I'm not normal right now."

Claire unleashed the sword she had lowered to her waist.

I almost shouted, "Ah."

The sword was made of crystals.

In Necropolis, the capital of death, it was the sword that Saul the Saint had.

The crystal sword was used by Flora after Saul was defeated. I guess Cleon's Salvation Knights recovered it afterwards.

Claire looked at the sword lovingly.

"With this, even I can use magic. And I can help Her Royal Highness and Mr. Solon."

"Claire helps us?

"Yes, I'm on Mr. Solon's side. I was relieved to hear that His Royal Highness Philia and Mr. Solon had no intention of targeting the Emperor. Now you can capture the rebel Lucy without worrying."

Is that what Claire came for?

Perhaps Claire knew in some way what the Free Alliance was planning.

That's why Lucy's trying to use me, what kind of advice did you give me?

Either way, the situation is critical.

Claire is an army person and says that Claire will arrest Lucy as a traitor.

Lucy has already been completely blinded as an enemy of the government.

"I wonder if Claire's purpose is Dr. Lucy's stature. Then I can't just say yes and give it to Dr. Lucy."

"If you're gonna be on Lucy's side, even Mr. Solon's just not sorry, is he?

"But Dr. Lucy is my only master."

I can't do what Claire says.

Because you can't abandon Lucy.

I looked back at Filia.

"What will you do, Master Philia?"

Philia smiled all the time.

"I won't abandon Lucy, either. Because Lucy has always been on my side. Besides, Lucy made Solon my master."

I smiled and nodded.

In order to protect Lucy, we have to do something about Claire in front of us.

At that time, Lucy glanced at the entrance to the dining room for a moment.

Lucy is in a white one-piece sleeping dress, and naturally, she doesn't even have a cane.

Totally defenseless.

"Is anyone awake at this hour?

Lucy said strangely, and he saw us and snapped his neck.

As far as tea and jam on the tabletop is concerned, this place was peace itself.

The only thing heterogeneous is Claire's presence.

Claire smiled.

"Professor Lucy, by order of the Military Intelligence Agency, I have come to arrest you"

"Arrest me? What the hell is your suspicion?

Lucy let him blur, but his expression was stiff.

"Participation in the Free Alliance of Anti-Government Associations. and the conspiracy to abolish His Majesty the Emperor. I won't tell you I don't remember you."

The moment she heard it, Lucy shook her hand without saying anything, claired and unleashed flaming magic.

A fierce whirlpool of flames burns, and eventually it becomes a great circle of fire.

If you're a magician like Lucy, you can use a lot of magic without the help of a wand.

If you were a normal person, you would have been knocked down in an instant without being able to respond to Lucy's attack.

But when Claire waved her basically crystal sword, Lucy's flaming magic easily dissipated.

"Why......!?

Lucy raised her surprise and opened her crimson eyes wide.

"This crystal sword has holy power. I've got enough power over Professor Lucy!

Claire said, flashing a crystal sword.

Then a golden wave of light arises, and it flies with Lucy in mind.

Before Rushy, I ran out and took Claire's attack with a treasure sword.

But the golden light was slightly unstoppable with a treasure sword and touched my skin.

It caused burning pain and I blushed.

"Oh, Solon!

"It's no big deal."

I answered Lucy and took a step forward, wielding a big treasure sword Tetracord.

And pack your time with Claire.

Saul and Flora proved that crystal swords are non-standard weapons.

Then we need to fight early before we can't get our hands on it.

"Glad to hear it. I can't believe there's a day when I can fight Mr. Solon with my magical powers."

"I never wanted to fight Claire."

My treasure sword, Tetracord, captured Claire's crystal sword.

But unlike a pure mage like Flora, Claire is a soldier and accustomed to the treatment of swords.

Claire skillfully deals with my sword strike and bounces back.

When I slaughtered again, Claire covered her crystal sword and stared at me sharply with her gray eyes.
