Black Iron Magician

Chapter 120 A Sand Building

Leaving the principal’s office, we walked out to the corridor. In the hands of Nell and I, there are letters of promise with the content that’s allowing participation in the graduation festival using the principal’s recommendation, which is the main purpose of our visit.

「Haha. My~, he nodded so easily that it was funny. I thought he would be a little reluctant.」

「Principal Hao was really scared, wasn’t he? Just what was he scared of?」

We were whispering in front of the principal’s office. Well, since Nell is here, it would be unnatural if we keep the girl with us for a long time. Now that we’ve done our business, let’s ask her to return. Okay, is there anyone else around? Let’s say it in a loud voice so that Hao can hear it in the principal’s office.

「Now, you don’t have to worry. As long as the principal keeps his promise, I promise that I will do my best to cooperate with the investigation and find the culprit. And of course, this Knight Leader Nell too. I swear on this letter. I know it’s hard for you to talk about this, so as soon as we can confirm the facts, we’ll inform your parents with courtesy. That’s why just live your life as usual and try not to let anyone find out about this, okay?」

「Y-Yes…!」

「Then, you should go. If you leave your seat too long, your friends will get worried.」

After such an exchange, the girl half ran through the corridor and left beyond the corner. A few moments later, Lily appeared there in a maid’s outfit.

「Goshujin-sama, it seems that the girl you brought with you has returned safely to her classroom. Are things going as planned?」

「Yeah, at this rate, the real culprit will be found right away. Especially if he shows some sincerity.」

In the principal’s office, there was a sound of someone fell on his back. Yeah, things look okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We moved to the roof of a building in the academy and are looking for the whereabouts of Haru and others from there. I thought I could find them quickly if I looked for their signs, but everywhere there are students, students, students―― the population density is amazing. It would have been easier to find them if they use strong magic somewhere, but not right now. It’s lunchtime after all, so they’re probably having lunch ahead of us.

「So, Principal Hao actually hasn’t put his hands on the girl, right?」

As we split up to look for the three of them, Nell suddenly asked me about the previous conversation. Even though it was a preparation for the negotiations, it’s necessary for Nell to confirm the facts as a knight leader.

「Yeah, Hao actually didn’t do anything. That quiet-looking schoolgirl does exist and I’m sure he wanted to do that, but he actually didn’t do anything.」

「That’s right, everything is thanks to me!」

「…Tch.」

「Why did you click your tongue!?」

Lily made a smug face and Nell frankly clicked her tongue. Well, it can be said that most of this case is thanks to Lily.

First of all, the schoolgirl from before was Lily using 『Mutation』, the highest-rank of 『Disguise』 skill that Lily has.

Lily, who used her Mutation, can imitate not only the figure but also the clothes for disguise even without preparing it. Even the voice becomes indistinguishable, so it is almost impossible for a third party to determine whether she is the real person or not from her appearance.

In addition, Lily, whose job is 『Debauchee』, has many niche skills. One of them is 『Acting』, so she can act perfectly like the person she is playing. She even claims that she can deceive even the blood relatives. In fact, no one has ever been able to see through Lily using these skills.

「A succubus of my caliber can detect a person’s tastes and preferences just by looking at them. The old man just now seemed to like a diligent honor student. All I had to do was to devise the situation a bit and he was mine inside the dream! No matter what kind of great person I’m dealing with, the reason in a dream is nothing more than a sand building!」

The next power Lily has that I’m going to introduce is this observing eye, which is the characteristic of a succubus. Maybe you can say they can do this because they have evolved in that direction as a race. The essence of the succubus is to grasp the preferences of the target and to appear in the dream where they can exert their absolute power over the opposite sex.

Lily was able to get into Hao’s dream, who was drunk after being made to drink, and set up that kind of situation. The higher the rank of this succubus technique, the more realistic it becomes. At worst, you can’t tell whether it’s a dream or a reality. Hao, on the other hand, was drunk. If he woke up and found empty liquor bottles scattered and a piece of something that looked like a woman’s thing in his room, he would be convinced that it was real. He will continue to be haunted by the sin even though he actually didn’t do anything. Well, even if he wasn’t guilty of this, there was another case where he did something about the graduation festival behind the scenes. I just simply added another crime.

By the way, not only Hao, but Lily replenishes her magic power from other places as if she is playing a doll. This is why she doesn’t need me to give her magic power, even though I’m calling her out with summoning magic. However, it would be a waste to let her play randomly, so I have ordered her to play with the big shots of each country. As a result, Lily has her magic power and I have the weaknesses of the big shots in my pocket. It’s really delicious.

However, there is only one drawback to this. The only drawback to this is that it doesn’t satisfy Lily herself since she’s only operating a doll in the dream to deal with them. Therefore, I am always under the threat of being attacked by Lily.

「Hah, why can’t you see Deris’s preferences even though you have such a uselessly high-performance ability…?」

「Talk about being tactless. I want the person I love to see me for who I am, so there’s no need for a play there. Besides, I can’t use this power on the person I love… Ah, no~ ♪. Please don’t imagine something weird~」

「Die.」

「Why!? Uwah, the fire grazed me!」

While a little violent comedy act is unfolding behind me, I concentrate my consciousness and search for Haru. I’m looking for her, so I don’t have the time to mediate these two. I’m going to find Haru and the others!

「Ah, I finally found them. That’s… a cafeteria? In addition to Chinatsu and Therese, a blue-haired girl is with Haru, huh. Who is she?」

「Cafeteria? Hmm, due to my position, I don’t want to go to the place where students gather… I will go hiding, so you go, Deris.」

「I’ve done my job today so I’ll go with you!」

The dignified Nell and smiling Lily said so while gripping each other hands. What are these women saying while having a contest of strength…
