You Know
Again, they entered the building in the shaded back alley.
“Hey, Rick. How are you doing?”
Parin.
The bartender expressed his astonishment by slipping his hands and breaking a glass a third time.
“The, the one beside you is……?”
“Nice to meet you. I am Lioar＝Sergey”
At that courteous greeting, Rick can’t help trembling.
Lioar＝Sergey. Using Holy Dark Magic skillfully to a high level, that omnipotent ability is highly evaluated between every country. Above all else, the spectacle of the young prodigy who made that Hazen say is his『Best Disciple』, and Asch who made him say is his 『Worst Disciple』(worst personality) lining side by side appeared strange in his eyes.
Both of them sat at the bar counter and ordered some random cocktail, and Mira, who sat beside Asch, ordered hot milk.
“Now then, Lioar, there are tons of things I want to ask. Of course, I promise a corresponding return”
The Dark Magician, he was well aware, that the youngster before his eyes is no saint. He may be collected, but he’s not a good person. He’s an individual with the personality that, if need be, won’t hesitate to make a deal with a person of darkness like Asch either.
“No need for return. How about we make a trade?”
“A trade?”
“Eeh. When I answer one question, I will have you guys answer one question as well. How about that?”
“……you……guys?”
Instantly, Asch’s face warped, Mira’s face turned into a smile, and Lioar made a mischevious-looking smile.
“Eeh. Mira-san over there and Asch-san. You just have to answer my question. Of course, I am not saying that it definitely has to be both of you that answer. Either one is fine”
The ill-natured Magician makes a tremendously unwilling look at that suggestion.
“This butler is――”Okay oka―y! Got it”
“Y, you! Why are you deciding on your own……I am the master so――”It’s fine, isn’t it. It’s just a question”
The happy-go-lucky beautiful young girl, who answers without a care in the world.
“Kuu……well, I guess it’s fine. Let me just say beforehand; even if this lass answered your question, it’d not be the answer you hope for”
“Now then, I wonder how it will be?”
Lioar starts drinking the cocktail delightedly.
“……well, whatever. First, I want to ask about Hazen-sensei’s movements”
“Now, Sensei is in Lazistelia Castle. At the moment, he is obsessed with the Holy King Raizer＝Bardyst”
“Hmm……a name I’ve never heard before. What kind of person is it?”
“One question at a time. Next, it is me. How did you two meet?”
“……coincidentally at the Taboo Mansion――”Well you know, this is a surprise. After I went to the church in the afternoon, bandits showed up, so, I ran away. I ran with all my strength, running absorbedly, and when I realised, there was a weird mansion. I was really, really absorbed. And, although I searched for somebody, going, is there anybodyー, is there anybodyー, there was nobody at all, there was nothing but books. I thought ‘Darn ii―t’, but after I went around searching if there’s anything nevertheless, Asch-san was there in a certain room. And, he was chained up and extremely dodgy and suspicious initially, but when I try talking to him, as I thought, he’s suspicious. Although he was extremely dodgy, in the end, one thing and another, after removing his chains, he threw money at the bandits and told them to buy women. I thought he’s really despicable, but it seems the bandits are despicable as well, and after Asch talked bad about them, they suddenly got angry and attacked us, so the both of us ran away together, but suddenly the bandits couldn’t move, and I thought, ‘thank goodness’. And, in the end, the two of us made dinner――”
After that, Mira’s story, continued for 15 minutes.
