So……
Hogner Magic Academy. Board Chairman Office.
“Now then, let’s have you let me hear what’s going on, shall we?”
Asch leans back into the sofa and crosses his legs. Just right, Estelise is directly opposite, and the inside of her miniskirt is skirting the line of visible and invisible.
In other words,『That ‘almost’, is romantic』.
“……now then, what shall we start with?”
Lioar also sits on the sofa on the other side and crosses his arms.
“Yeah……first thing first, Estelise. Regarding the secret of your beauty”
・・・
“My apologies. I think it is quite difficult to understand, but it is Asch-sama’s joke”
Mira bows deeply.
“……hoho, my apologies. I did not realise”
The Board Chairman, smiles awkwardly. And then, Estelise can’t be any more disdainful she already is.
“Well……”
Asch who makes a terribly sad-looking face and answers.
An odd atmosphere, enveloped the vicinity.
“S-, so what is it that you want to ask?”
“Lioar, regarding your relationship with Estelise”
・・・
“My apologies. I think it is quite difficult to understand, but this is serious”
Mira bows deeply again.
“Err……it is……the relationship of a former protégé and mentor”
The old man and Estelise look at each other’s faces in bewilderment.
“……really? Not the relationship of lovers or whatnot?”
“Wha-! Please do not make sure a sleazy assumption!”
Estelise gets angry with a bright red face.
“Hoho……that is right, Asch-sensei. Being with an old man like me. That is, rude to her”
“Age matters not in love. It is precisely so, that people call love, love……『Xiracarsa＝Noze』”
The narcissistic Magician, while staring afar, sighs.
‘He’s for real…..this man is crazy for real’, is the comprehension Mira has towards him.
“Asch-sama is bad with such question and answer. My apologies as it seems I am overstepping my position, but may I ask the questions in his stead?”
The competent butler who cuts her manic master loose and tries to advance the conversation somehow.
“It would be a great help if we could have you do just that”
Estelise is already, completely untrusting of the sleazy Magician, who misspoke just now.
“First thing first……Estelise-sama. What were you so afraid of? As far as from what I confirmed, there was no sign of us being watched by people”
“No……we were being watched”
“By whom?”
“Fuu……it seemed you had noticed……my hot gaze”
“Estelise-sama, by whom?”
Ignore. Ignoring the Dark Magician’s deluded words, the capable butler asks her.
“By the country……by this Narsha Country”
“……what do you mean?”
Mira doesn’t get it.
“In the first place, did you not find it strange? At the Sirisasa Mountain that Asch-sensei suddenly planned, the enemies managed to get close to the students quicker than us”
Lioar asks softly.
“Indeed, that was on Asch-sama’s discretion, and it is impossible to plan beforehand”
“The enemy……is able to see it. Everything that is happening in this country”
“However, is something like that possible at the end of the day?”
“It’s possible”
Asch declares confidently. A lonely Magician who tries to get into the conversation somehow.
“As expected……do you already, get it?”
Lioar asks while stretching his white beard.
“Aah. The enemy is, utilising the Selzina Sorcery Theory huh”
“……no”
・・・
“Asch-sama……may I please have you keep quiet?”
“……”
Like this, the conversation slowly advanced.
