Episode 95The mage clicked his tongue lightly. The Zevert heiress. He’d thought her round eyes and smooth brow resembled that ‘seventh’ somehow. ‘No… Honestly, all kids have round faces and smooth skin.’ The truth was, he’d only seen the ‘seventh’ once, and even that was hazy in his memory. Nonetheless, he volunteered for the tracking mage position. In order to be noticed by the Mage King. And that decision was not mistaken. “I can’t betray expectations…

94"Hello?" "Huh? Is there another checkpoint here? I thought the last one was just back—there…" My voice trailed off awkwardly. The person before me was a brown-haired man. He wore no name tag, and his clothes were ordinary… But no, that's not it. He's not a judge. I faltered and stopped moving. 'Ma… mage.' A chill ran down my spine. "I got lost while out for a walk… Could you perhaps tell me where the exit is?" The man, smiling warmly, spoke utter nonsense. A subtle…

Episode 135 “Well, who knows? Honestly, this is a secret, but I might be changing jobs next year.” “Professor, they say no one who goes around saying they’re quitting ever really does quit…” “Hm hm, you sure know a lot, don’t you?” “I’m telling you not to leave, Professor!” Yuliophe just gave a brief laugh. “Well then, shall we look at the manuscript?” “Yes!” Grinning from ear to ear, I eagerly flipped through the manuscript pages. I asked about…

138Beneath my knee, the lightweight fabric of my indoor dress fluttered. Is he growing not just taller, but more perceptive too? “I just fell on the field today—scraped it a bit, that’s all…” “Can I have a look?” Khalid stepped in, suddenly asking. His eyebrows were raised high—clearly, he wouldn’t back down so easily. With no other choice, I crouched on the floor and started to lift my skirt. Just then, a gentle hand caught my arm and stopped me. “Please,…

Episode 81 ‘And just look at those eyes.’ They were completely different from what he’d seen in the capital. He didn’t know what it was, but the child’s presence was clearly smoothing down whatever sharpness the duke had once possessed. Now he was genuinely curious. The emperor covered his mouth, stifling a laugh. “So, this Rubian…” “Next summer.” Leviathan set his teacup down with a snap. Summer? The emperor turned his head warily. He had a feeling he…

Episode 37 ‘How did this happen…?’ I stared blankly at the training ground, where a dry wind was blowing. ‘How did it come to this…?’ Standing there alone was my mage friend, who also happened to be the second male lead and a little mercenary. “Let’s begin the admission test.” Uncle Oberon, who had returned at some point, spoke in a solemn voice. Standing next to Khalid were two young men, their faces drawn tight with nerves. “Three applicants for…

Episode 47 A space surrounded by a tall fence, with great evergreens bending over as if in watchful guard—a place with a strangely somber atmosphere. “Ah. That’s…” Void wore a look of utter discomfort. “…It’s the garden of the Nameless Zevert.” “What…” I started to ask, then stopped short. The Nameless Zevert. Its meaning was plain. ‘That must be Mister Leviathan’s baby’s grave.’ I rose on tiptoe and peeked between the slats of the fence. A…

“Thank you for inviting me to dinner. See you tomorrow, Ruby.” With that, the boy—brash or polite, it was hard to say—disappeared without a hint of hesitation. Tremble, tremble, tremble. The table shook as if in an earthquake. “Phew… Stop sulking already.” Grandfather muttered, eyeing his tightly clenched, rock-like fist. “I’ll soon release this grudge.” “Grandfather… Please don’t talk to your fists…” “Hmph.” Before we knew it, Mister was leaning…

Chapter 148Ch.15 The day of the presentation! I woke up, thrilled. ‘Finally, I get to see Dad!’ Sortie and I were bursting with excitement as we ate breakfast, stopped by the library to greet Professor Yuliophe, and then headed to the grand banquet hall. The presentation was to be held here, in the form of a party. “There are so many people outside!” “I know! My mom and dad said they’d come as soon as the Academy opened its doors… Ah! Daddy! Mom!” Sortie darted…

150“Grandpaaa…?” I started to run over, tumbling, but stopped dead. “It’s black!” “Wahahahaha! I matched it with my little snot!” Grandfather, who always let his mane fall like a lion’s, now had his hair neatly trimmed and his beard groomed! But… both his hair and beard were pitch black! “Come here, come here!” He reached out to me once more. He looked as if he’d grown ten years younger—funny, yet striking. His presence, already imposing, now felt even…

Clang. The knife spun sharply on the ground. “That was…” –Close! Jeez, what was that?! I calmed my pounding heart. Everyone except Mister Leviathan and the knight was staring in shock, eyes wide like startled rabbits. “It’s all right, little one, it’s all right.” Ah, except for Grandfather too, who was patting me soothingly. “Wh—what—!” Delmon, who had suddenly been grabbed by the scruff of the neck, gaped in terror. “Oh, sorry.” Only then did…

Episode 43 The duke sat askew on the large bed, gently patting and comforting the whimpering child in his arms. "…How." It was a brief question, but Leviathan seemed to understand it well enough. "Whenever she seems oddly listless in the evening, it always ends up like this." A heavy, deep sigh escaped him. In that brief moment, the duke looked as though he had aged several years, utterly fatigued. "Khalid." His voice was cracked with exhaustion. He pulled the quilt tighter around…

Episode 69 ‘Kal!’ Though he tried to keep his voice steady, I could hear it trembling on the verge of breaking. I answered at once. ‘I’m at Ipsen Mountain!’ Fumbling, I touched my earlobe and closed my eyes. I could feel Licht’s gaze on me, but I had no choice. I just hoped it looked like I was only dizzy. ‘Honestly, I’m not sure exactly where. Licht and Lady Titi are hurt, but I caught the bad guys…’ ‘Huh?’ ‘I’m fine.’ A deep, long sigh…

Episode 59Gasp, how embarrassing. “Ruby? It’s dangerous. Come down here.” As Dad reached out his hand, I nervously got up and stepped down the stairs. “It’s been a while.” Licht deliberately came down to the foot of the stairs to offer his hand. One hand was clasped behind his back, a very courteous escort. “Blondie, why are you here…?” I asked blankly, unable to even think of taking his hand. Licht, retracting his arm, smiled, narrowing one eye. “Yeah. My hair is…

Episode 21 "Void!" I barged straight into Void's room. “Wah! You scared me!” Void was sitting at his desk, scribbling something. “H-huh?” Void hastily covered his notebook. A diary… or perhaps— “Do you have a map in here?” “A map?” “Yeah!” “Of course I do, but…” Void rummaged through his shelves and soon produced a map of the territory. It was covered with markings for shops, amenities, lodgings, and more. “Wow, thanks!” “But why do…

Episode 176 Khalid had achieved remarkable feats during this time. He became the vanguard of a large-scale magical beast subjugation force at the border where the Kingdom of Kasalia met the nations of the Western Continent. In truth, he’d set out to find Rubian’s magic stele, but the location happened to be right at the heart of a massive magical beast habitat, so he volunteered to lead the subjugation. The Babylon Empire, acting on moral grounds, provided military support, and soon a…

Episode 149 Even the faces of the other friends who had paid me little mind until now… From afar, Sortie, just entering the ballroom, covered her mouth and laughed, “Oh my. Is the game of hide and seek over?” A little embarrassed, I quietly buried my face in my father’s shoulder. “Ah, a-ah! So that’s how it is! Oh dear, Duke! How do you do! Haben! Come greet him now!” “Huh? No, what? I mean… why… why is she over there…” Haben still seemed utterly dazed. Count…

Episode 25 “Mister?” At some point, Mister was standing behind me. His eyes blazed fiercely. “That damned Leviathan bastard…” All of a sudden? “Rubian, hasn't His Excellency ever given you any allowance?” Even Sir Leon knelt on one knee, pressing for answers. What on earth are they talking about? Unaware that my thoughts had slipped out as a sigh, I stared in bewilderment at the two men, who seemed to have lost their minds. “What is it you want!…

106Will this work? I wasn’t sure. First, how to use this… My mind spun in circles. Use this magic circle like so, and then… Dissolve everything, root to stem… Ah. So it can only be used once per person. After that, resistance builds up, and drinking it again just improves your health… I see. Digging up these new details, I picked up the herb. As I gently infused it with magic, the green leaves trembled with joy. “Sniff sniff. Smells like grass.” A blueish aura…

Episode 107 “How dare you break into a noble’s residence and approach my daughter.” “Gah!” A hand shot out with tremendous force, clamping down on his throat. The mage’s feet thrashed helplessly in the air. “This is so brazen, I could execute you on the spot and no one would protest… What do you think?” A low voice, grating like nails on a chalkboard. The oppressive, chilling aura made the 'Fourth’s' eyes shake uncontrollably. “Answer me, mage.” Leviathan…
