Chapter 61

Thank you for reporting the typo!

It's encouraging to know that someone is reading it carefully!

I am reflecting on the number of typos.

Good morning.

The weather today is cloudy.

According to Shell, the weather becomes unstable during the change of seasons.

I changed clothes and went to the dining hall.

After finishing my meal, I got on the carriage and headed to the grassland.

Diagry and Yegram still looked a bit tired from yesterday.

Alshain, being of royal blood, doesn't usually show much expression.

Yegram is also expressionless, but his mood is easy to read from his eyes and the atmosphere around him.

Because of what happened yesterday, we hunted monsters while being more vigilant than usual.

We took our lunch break on the scorched earth from yesterday, and in the afternoon, we arrived at the base without any problems.

I was a bit disappointed, but then the cheerful guys' group also arrived.

"That's quick."

"Of course!"

"Because of what happened yesterday, I guess."

"Everyone thinks the same, and with no rain, we moved faster."

"Right."

While chatting casually, all the groups gathered and returned to the academy without any issues.

Before getting on the carriage, I saw Cavendish briefly. He was wearing all white, probably to compete with the student council president, but his clothes were torn to shreds.

He must have fallen a few times, as they were dirty and looked like camouflage, especially his butt!

Back in the room, I headed to the dining hall. It was the usual time, but the hall was unusually empty, which was strange. I overheard a student nearby talking about some problems during today's city training.

Other students were discussing the same topic. Apparently, a large number of monsters appeared during the city training, causing some students to panic and flee back to the academy, resulting in casualties among the townspeople. The city training group was being held back as a result.

That's why there were fewer people, I realized. Just then, the cheerful guy approached me.

"Did you hear about the city training group's rumor?"

"Just now."

"Apparently, one of the girls who fled back to the academy is the same one who always competes for Cavendish's and the student council president's attention."

"Really! Again? Didn't she use other girls as shields and run back during the grassland training last week?"

"I heard the same. And the victims were noble girls who were incognito in the commoner district."

"That's a big problem! But if they're noble girls, aren't they academy students?"

"Maybe from the junior academy?"

At Alshain's suggestion, the cheerful guy nodded with a bitter expression.

"That seems to be the case. Moreover, one of them was a count's daughter. She wasn't seriously injured, but she was in shock and bedridden. The count, visibly angry, stormed into the academy."

"Wow, it's not going to be easy, then. What about her?"

"Apparently, she insists she did nothing wrong, so they put her in the punishment cell."

The cheerful guy left when called by a friend.

Yegram said seriously,

"That's to be expected, considering what happened last time. This time, the punishment will be severe."

"Expulsion? The headmaster will probably hold an emergency meeting to address it."

"No, not that. I mean, what happens after she's expelled. There are suspicions of enchantment magic, too."

"……If that's the case, she might be sent to a church facility?"

"There are several people who wouldn't let that happen quietly?"

"Ah, it's going to be a hassle!"

It really is going to be a hassle, and I'm getting frustrated.

When everyone sighed deeply, the food arrived, but my appetite was gone. Still, I forced myself to eat it.

As soon as we got back to the room, Alshain started writing a letter.

It's probably about the two-timing girl.

It's unclear how Cavendish and the student council president will react, but with what happened last time, expulsion is inevitable. If we hear her reasons, Cavendish and the others might still try to protect her.

Even if she's expelled, she'll probably go to the baron's family she's adopted into. Given the dark rumors surrounding the baron's family, it's uncertain when the enchantment magic will be discovered and misused.

To Alshain, who finished writing the letter,

"Hein, how do you make magic items? (Hein, how do you make magic items?)"

"Magic items? Why suddenly?"

"Can we seal the former saint's magic power? (I was thinking of sealing the former saint's magic power.)"

"Sealing magic power itself, huh? It's possible, but……"

"Why don't you consult Chief Tailsmyth?"

"That's a good idea, but why suddenly?"

"The former saint will be expelled, right? Before that, in the punishment cell, if we check and find she has enchantment, we can seal it so she won't be misused by the baron's family. (The former saint will be expelled, right? Before that, in the punishment cell, if we check and find she has enchantment, we can seal it so she won't be misused by the baron's family.)"

"If it's discovered, it will definitely be misused."

"If she can't use magic, there won't be any worries, right? (If she can't use magic, there won't be any worries, right?)"

"………………There is a magic item that can seal magic power. But it's for those who have committed crimes and been reduced to slaves. It might be too harsh a punishment for her……"

"Hmm, can't you choose which magic power to seal? (Hmm, can't you choose which magic power to seal?)"

"………………True. Shell, can you contact Chief Tailsmyth?"

"Sure."

Shell left the room.

"If she's expelled, it will probably be within a few days. If we can improve the magic item in that time, it would be good."

"Let's see."

Shell returned with Chief Tailsmyth.

After hearing my idea from Shell, Chief Tailsmyth had a serious expression.

"I think it's possible to improve the magic item as you suggest, Kaito-sama."

It's a relief that he agrees.

"However, she hasn't committed a crime, so how can we make her wear it……"

At Chief Tailsmyth's words, Alshain and Shell also started to worry.

"Can we ask the senior clerk? (Can we ask the senior clerk?)"

"Senior clerk?"

Chief Tailsmyth asked, genuinely puzzled.

"Ryder O'Connell, the son of the Royal Guard Captain. He knows about enchantment magic, but how can we make her wear a slave collar?"

"Chief, can magic items only be collars? (Chief, can magic items only be collars?)"

"What do you mean?"

"Can't they be bracelets or rings? (Can't they be bracelets or rings?)"

"Rings are too small, but bracelets and anklets are possible."

"Can they be decorated? (Can they be decorated?)"

"Oh! We can present them as jewelry! (Oh! We can present them as jewelry!)"

Shell understood my intention, and Chief Tailsmyth and Alshain also nodded in agreement.

"Right! If we present them as jewelry, she won't suspect and will wear them. We only need to seal the enchantment magic, and she can use her own magic power to maintain the seal. I understand, I'll make it!"

Chief Tailsmyth agreed to consult about the enchantment magic check in the punishment cell and said he would start immediately, then left the room quickly.

If the enchantment magic is actually found on the two-timing girl, and the magic item is completed and she wears it, we can push her off to the baron's family without any worries.

I prayed to the Gal God for things to go smoothly and went to sleep.

In my dream, the Gal God smiled broadly and gave me a thumbs up.
