Time flies like an arrow.
There's only one month left until the Magic Match and Demo.
Today, in particular,
"I'm telling you!
These are meaningless accusations!
Are your awake people's minds filled with filth instead of brains?"
The screaming was deafening.
“Ah, it seems that wizards have been going around asking about suspicious things lately, shouldn’t the Duchess explain what this means?”
I was just beginning to get used to the terrifying sight of the Empire's meeting room.
'But the fighting is getting worse.'
Why does it seem worse than last time?
I thought to myf sadly.
Through a surprise mission, I can uncover the truth and stop this fight to unlock the magic.
‘Or I should collect 99 guidance points and unlock the magic directly.’
Even if there was only a month left, I needed time to practice using magic skillfully after obtaining it.
'I'm doing it well, aren't I?'
Every day, my heart would clench with stress.
And there is something else that makes my heart turbulent.
'Caesis, that man!'
Over the past few days, I have been visiting him every night to diligently collect guidance points.
Every time, Kaysis met me with great kindness and compassion.
He asked me my name about 98 times, and held my hand about 120 times.
Due to the stingy system that slowly awards points, I haven't finished collecting points yet, but based on the pace of communication, it looks like I will reach 99 points soon.
'But the Emperor by day...'
He was my arch enemy.
Is he imaginary, or do his looks carry more hatred than usual?
I felt like he was asking me every night about my relationship with the Duchess, as if he had ridiculous doubts, but I was afraid to ask about the details.
I wanted to look away, but I couldn't.
Whenever he looked at me with hateful looks, it always ended in a fight.
“Why does the Duchess keep her mouth shut?”
As it is now!
“My clever and beloved knights asked you, didn't they?”
I can't believe it.
That Emperor who stares cold-bloodedly and harasses Duchess Ariel as if he were catching a mouse, is the same awake person who was clinging to me last night, affectionately asking me to tell him my name.
'What a double personality!'
Just a few hours ago, he was looking at me with kindness, and now he was staring at me angrily.
What a really bad feeling, depressing even.
It would have been better if he didn't remember anything.
'No, I should consider this good luck.'
Since he doesn't know the truth, when the real heroine appears, he will definitely mistake it for me.
Then, I can leave it to her.
'This is good, definitely good.'
I tried to expel the annoying feeling and calm myf down.
So, I must find the original heroine whose traces have disappeared and bring her before this man.
I will definitely do that.
But…
Why do I feel so bad?
I stared with the same angry look that the Emperor had and sneered with all my might.
“Well, Your Majesty.
I don’t know where these clever knights you speak of are.
But I told you for sure.
There are incomprehensible movements behind this rumor.”
I directed my cold gaze towards the right arm of the Emperor, the one who was awake and whose plants I had previously uprooted.
“But it seems that there are those who still do not understand this simple explanation.”
It wasn't funny that the person who was barking like a mad wolf in front of the magicians started rolling his eyes in front of my gaze.
“It is unfortunate that he is called Your Majesty’s right arm.”
Thar is awake.
“Duchess!
What did you say just now?”
I mocked the growing plants and said as if chewing words:
“Strictly speaking.
What is your noble title?
Count, is it?”
“What, what does that have to do with now?”
“I mean I don't want to talk to you, don't you understand?”
"Agh!
His Majesty the Emperor!"
I laughed sarcastically as he shouted for the Emperor as if he were searching for his mother.
“I think you know that Your Majesty intervening now will make the matter even funnier.
I’m sure you won’t.”
The wizards were now looking at me with sparkling eyes.
I bit my tongue internally.
Oh my God, I messed it up.
When did I fall in love with this crazy group and interfere without realizing it?
I even challenged the Emperor.
What a cursed reincarnation life!
But what can I do?
This is my busy life that will never end until I find the Emperor's guide hiding somewhere.
A few more days passed.
By day, meetings of the nobles, and teaching Louis magic formulas that even I don't understand.
At night, directing the person with whom I might be found out at any moment to collect points.
I endured the stifling schedule, and finally today:
“Finally!”
99 routing points.
I reached the first goal.
I felt as if tears would fall.
I stared with my eyes open.
This was a decisive moment.
"I won't repeat the first mistake.
I read the details carefully, not randomly!
Well, all I have to do is click, right?"
With trembling fingers, I opened the magic unlock window.
Mobile magic, offensive magic, defensive magic.
I swallowed.
At this critical moment, the fat cat snoring in her sleep was extremely annoying!
'Honestly, I want to have all kinds of magic here, but that's greed.'
If the opportunity arises again, that would be great, but this may be the only moment to unlock the magic before the show.
So, I have to be careful.
'Of course, offensive magic first, right?'
I can gradually collect points to unlock the Transition Magic or the Defense Magic, or perhaps unlock them by resolving the fight between the Sorcerers and the Awakened in a surprise quest.
Haha, offensive magic.
I will unleash offensive magic as befits a great witch!
Finally, I can be a real teacher who shows something decent to Louis.
With a proud heart, I was about to click on the status window.
“Definitely satirical magic… ahhh!”
The cat's back leg hit my arm.
Then, I slipped.
When I saw what I had pressed, I screamed.
No, this is crazy!
“You crazy fat cat!”
“Meow?”
“Why are you kicking and making a mess...!”
I looked sadly at the sparkling system window.
[Congratulations!]
Don't congratulate me.
[Use 99 points.
Unlocking of the specified enchantment has been completed!
Open Magic: Transmission Magic.
→ The highest level of transference magic used by the greatest great witch in existence.
You can move anywhere you want.
But, be careful.
If you do not use a clear image, you may open wrong coordinates... [View all]]
'Haha, what a shame...'
I felt as if a tear was gathering and rolling down my cheek.
“I failed.”
Less than a month before the magic show,
I accidentally unlocked the teleportation charm.
A great witch keeps escaping with teleportation magic during a match?
A great witch who only demonstrates teleportation magic by running away from the gate in a magic show?
My neck will be cut for sure.
“There's not much left of my life!
Because of you, you crazy fat cat!”
It was fortunate that the magicians of the Magic Tower were all out searching today, so I could scream freely.
Otherwise, I would really lose my mind.
"Hey.
What's wrong with that, Meow?"
“Is it hard to apologize even once?
You're supposed to help me, right?
How can you keep screwing things up since last time?”
My angry look had no effect on her calm face, which made me even more angry.
How could she be so rude?
I looked at her with the same look she looks at an upside-down bowl of water!
"You have to solve the problem then, Meow.
Calm down, Meow.
You have another task, don't you?
And with the guidance points, you can open two more locks, Meow!"
My anger suddenly stopped.
I wiped my tears and regained my will to stay.
I will live.
I will do anything, regardless of the means, to live happily.
“Speak up.
Say anything.”
“First, aim to unlock the specific magic, Miu.”
With blazing red eyes, I recalled the previous task.
Yes, the one I tried to solve many times.
[Sudden mission!
You are the spiritual pillar of all magicians, the source of their faith.
Magicians respect you and love you.
But if you do not resolve their grievances, the roots of their faith may rot!
Discover the source of the rumor spreading among witches and the awakened.
Be a mediator in the fight between the witches and the awakened!
Success: Unlock the specific magic.
Failure: Loss of the magicians' faith.]
“I successfully kept the magicians’ faith.
I moved them to understand the situation.
But...”
Fighting is not something I can do alone.
