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…

Chapter 147 The first thing to catch the eye was her jet-black hair. “Ugh, the one who looked exactly like me has gone and turned just like Leviathan…” How indignant I was the first time I saw it! “What is this! Get out of my way! I’m going to dye my hair too! I took a certain pride in having the same color as my youngest one!” “Waaah, Grandpa, you have white hair! I have silver!” “What’s the difference?” “It’s different! It’s definitely…

146 “Ouch.” “What are you doing all of a sudden?” Khalid scowled and grabbed my wrist. Limp and thin strands of black hair dangled in my hand. “Just watch.” Gripping the hair, I fueled it with magic. The air around us trembled for a moment. Would it work? “Here goes.” A blue magic circle floated up, and I felt my internal mana and the surrounding magic flow into the intricate formula. The limp strands of hair stood on end. And then… ‘The inscription on…

145 With all the high-ranking mages off at the Delkan Ruins, the sluggish “second” left alone in the royal palace must have finally decided to make a move. “They probably crossed the border with magic restrainers, at the very least.” In that case, it didn’t seem like they planned to act in the same blatant, disruptive way as the “fourth.” “What should I do…?” Tomorrow was both the exhibition and visitation day. In other words, the awkward pretense of hiding my identity…

Episode 144 “Your Excellency?” “Tie him up for now. The mages are on the move.” In the distance, mages were burning the corpses of Dark Beasts. “They might have sensed something. We should withdraw for now.” The blue-haired knight spoke calmly, but Leviathan did not budge. At that moment, a chill dashed down Allen’s spine. The duke’s previously languid and careless expression had vanished; the face glimpsed from the side was as fearsome as a demon. “…Your…

Episode 143 “Wow! The old library is amazing!” I stretched out both arms and exclaimed excitedly. To be honest, I was quite used to this place by now, so there was nothing particularly surprising about it… Let’s do well, Rubian! “Ahem, ahem. The bookshelves are a bit chaotic, aren’t they?” Euliope replied in a subtly excited voice while uncorking a fatigue recovery potion. She seemed quite pleased with my enthusiastic reaction. “Yes! It’s like a maze!” “Be…

Episode 142Ch. 14 The capital, in an alley of Bamiless. The Second was staggering as she walked. ‘I’m reaching my limit…’ Living in a land without magic was growing unbearable. But she couldn’t leave empty-handed. ‘With Father absent, this is my chance.’ Opportunities to pursue the Seventh alone did not come often. Having secretly come to the capital to find the Seventh without the Mage King’s knowledge, she leaned against a wall, exhaling a slow breath. She had…

Episode 141As I thought. I broke into a broad grin and clapped my hands. “That’s wonderful!” “It’s all thanks to the hint you gave me, Miss Rubian.” Yuliope spoke softly. “I’m truly grateful for all the times you’ve listened to me and lent your help.” “Oh, I didn’t do anything worth mentioning!” In truth, I’d done quite a lot! Regardless, I demurred, hiding my contributions with a modest wave of my hand. Then, a sudden thought struck me, and I lifted…

Episode 140 Come to think of it, the camp was already entering its final days. ‘A few more days and I’ll see him!’ Dad, away on business… Being apart somehow made me miss him even more. To the mightiest father—please, not a hair harmed, come back safe and sound so I can squeeze you tight. ‘And please teach me how to jump rope…’ “……” Leviathan sniffed the air for no reason. ‘What is this? Feels like my daughter is desperately calling me.’ He…

Episode 139 The water of Lake Reim was, in truth, nothing more than ordinary lake water. Yet… ‘Given that it's an inexplicable and mysterious phenomenon, it’s not so odd for it to be solved in a mysterious way.’ Moreover, by instilling a suitable amount of fear, I was able to keep Yuliope quiet. “Miss Ru-Rubian! You, you didn’t hear anything just now, right?” “What did you say?” “If you didn’t hear, then that’s fine! I, I, I’ve something to do for a…

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 137 Khalid sat cross-legged, intently observing a small, squat stone stele. I crouched down beside him. “But there’s a crack in it.” “Yeah, I see that.” The top part of the stone was split, and its surface was covered with countless shapes carved in relief. And within those shapes, lines of writing in an indecipherable language filled every inch. “This… no matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like a magic sigil?” The young mage squinted one eye as he…

With a crash, the books stacked in Liam’s arms slid to the floor. “You little rascal!” He darted over and scooped Rubian right up. “Ah! The books! The books!” “What’s going on here? And how did you get in? Aren’t we supposed to be pretending not to know each other?” “That’s right! We are! This is a secret rendezvous just between you and me…!” “I love secret meetings, just us two.” Liam hugged Rubian tightly. As he looked over his little sister for the…

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…

134“Very well. Let’s go into my office! And about our special curriculum going forward…” “Pardon? No, I just wanted to look at the books in the archive.” “Sorry to break it to you just when destiny seems to be calling, but the archive is off-limits for a while. Luckily, I’ve made a few copies of some texts, so we can start with those…” “……” “Miss Rubian?” Rubian’s lips moved as if to speak. “Huh, this wasn’t what I meant to do…” “What was…

Episode 133 Ah, of course, my father is wealthy too. But isn’t it always better to have more connections among the rich? Smiling again, I began stacking my books neatly. “But… it doesn’t look like this is the first time they’ve bothered you. Why don’t you talk to the professor about it?” I spoke sincerely, but Zerdin shook his head gently. “If… if a noble retaliates because of that… I-I’ll be fine. I can put up with it a little longer.” “Oh dear.” He must…

132Havan gave the order. I hid behind my picture book and swept a glance around. “What are you waiting for? I told you to bring the pen!” “All right…” Resigned, I answered quietly and stood up. Then, moving slowly, I picked up the pen and turned around. Heading straight to Havan’s desk, I dumped out his pencil case with a crash. “What do you think you’re doing?! You crazy? Touching other people’s things?!” What a splendid self-introduction. “You said to bring you…

Chapter 131 “…Looks like something’s in there. I’ll go check it out first.” The squirrel perched on top of Khalid’s head leapt down with a flick and scampered away. It, too, darted quickly through the labyrinthine shelves. I held my lamp up and peered at a book wedged right beside me. “…This is…” At that moment, the lower part of the previously intact spine began to peel away. Rustle. Fragile, old fragments of paper scattered. Surely it wasn’t my gaze that made…

130Licht pretended not to hear and stepped closer to look down at Khalid. He seemed to have grown into an even more infuriatingly smug face over the summer. “Hello?” “Does this look like a time for pleasantries to you?” “Well, close enough. More importantly… Rubian is at the Academy, right?” “I don't see any reason I should answer—” “There is.” The elegantly curved eyes of the prince were thoroughly annoying. Khalid gave a short, derisive laugh and turned his…

Episode 129 “Huh? Rubian?” Sortier grabbed hold of me. The ferryman, who had been rowing, also looked at me in puzzlement. “What’s wrong? Shall I turn the boat around?” “Ah, n-no. It’s just that my stomach…” I stammered, clutching my abdomen. A burning pain flared along my back, then quickly subsided. ‘Damn it… Why now, of all times?’ I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut. The pain vanished as quickly as it appeared, gone almost before I even registered…
