How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

- Gaiden Episode 89

Gaiden Episode 89

“Can I call a monster like that…?” …

Apparently, if the grave robbers defeat more than a certain number of spirits, it might be the last entity called out.

Destroy them all before taking on the thief.

the intent is visible.

Searching and avoiding anything is the priority.

When everyone was desperately trying to run away. Only Ilya and her father are staring out the window.

“What are you doing!”

“Before he sees us… …

“No, there is no need for that.??…

A tone that stretches the tail as if something is futile. The end of Illia's gaze, which seemed to be drained of energy, turned to the other side of the huge artificial spirit.

As if to fight against that monster, a huge ember swayed and a fire giant appeared.

Overwhelming energy and presence that are different from ordinary spirits... … .

“… … The King of Spirits.”

I've even heard rumors. It has also appeared in the past battle against the Zelnian Holy Kingdom.

How did the Spirit King appear? You don't even have to listen.

“It was Pena-sama who summoned that… …

Apparently, Pena, who was watching from the outside, summoned the spirit king as soon as that giant artificial spirit appeared.

Could it be that this was also assumed?

As the eyes of astonishment gathered, the fire giant rushed toward the giant artificial spirit.

As he swung his huge arm and raised his fist, a frenzy raged through the area as if it would evaporate.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

“… … It's amazing.”

“Is that true spirit magic?”

Even those watching can feel the heat. What would an artificial spirit be like to be hit head-on?

The artificial spirit, hit by a storm of flames, soared toward the sky with about a third of its head shattered.

It was blown up on purpose.

I have to destroy it clumsily to restore it anyway, so to be sure of erasing it.

[It's over.]

The fire giant solemnly declared and opened his mouth, and a compressed red flash shot from inside, swallowing the artificial spirits and erasing them.

It's overwhelming.

Behind Ilya, who shuddered at the difference in power, her father muttered this.

“… … There is a distant stomach above.”

“You should know too. … … And I must be determined. that you pursue your dreams What to compete for.”

To jump towards a world where there are people like that.

Even Ilya, who previously would have thought it was just a quibble, agreed silently.

“Can you still do it?”

“… … I will try.”

But I have no heart to break. She said firmly, and he, too, closed his eyes as if thinking about something, and said nothing more.

“Then let’s talk when we get back. father.”

“okay. Let's go.”

After the giant artificial spirits, the gatekeepers guarding the tower no longer appeared, but this is just in case.

After a search, Ilia found a device supposed to be an artifact that manages access to this place and handed it over to Pena to confirm.

“How are you?”

“Hmm? Maybe it's right?”

A somewhat irresponsible answer.

But I don't mean to say it casually.

In the first place, since even she doesn't know much about magic, the only thing left to do is to determine it based on the information she obtained in advance.

Instead, she immediately contacted the outside world through communication channels and had Dia collate the information.

“how is it?”

[Judging by the pattern of the released mana, that would be certain.]

After that, after confirming a few more things as Dia instructed, they manipulated while listening to additional explanations, and they were able to return to the academy right away.

Even so, I wouldn't be able to let go of this for an hour.

Putting aside the suspended academic festival, there will be no time to rest for the time being since I have to testify about events such as the discovery of the workshop of the first Mage Master, which was abandoned.

After the commotion was sorted out.

Pena visited the academy again.

However, this time it was not to see Ilia.

She was alone with Chelford Ranfelst.

“The universalization of spiritism… … When I first heard the idea from Ilya, I was surprised too.”

The fact that Pena was astonished was not a metaphor, but the true intention.

“what do you think?”

“… … Are you saying that it is an achievement that the child would not have discovered if he had given up on his goal?”

This time, it is necessary to talk with those who have a parental position.

“Didn't you hear from Ilya?”

“is it so. I heard that Ilia allowed me to focus on spiritism.”

Ilya was given permission to do as he wished.

Then there would be no reason to worry anymore, but the reason Pena wanted to be alone was because she wanted to ask something personally.

“By the way, Ilya will be working for us from now on.”

Not right away, but in a few years. And it's a fact that Ilya herself doesn't even know yet.

“… … Did you really take it for that purpose?”

“It looks like you misunderstood a little, but it wasn’t necessarily like that. It just means that what he found was valuable.”

Having made a discovery this far, isn't letting other nobles sponsor it be like cooking everything and giving it to someone else?

Rather, Arel said he would actively support it.

But Chelford has a complicated expression.

“I honestly don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know?”

Pena asked a little displeased. Is it that you don't want to admit it that much?

“Certainly, what that child showed me was something I couldn’t even dream of when I was only that child.”

I know his frustration. I didn't hear from Ilya. In fact, after that, Arel investigated and told me.

At first, Pena thought of him as just a father who couldn't take care of his children's future.

At least, that was the image Pena was thinking of. Because I've been through a similar situation.

“That's why I'm worried.”

but. Is it really so?

“Did you really achieve this only with that child’s strength?”

What he asked was an unexpected question for Pena.

“… … Excuse me?”

“Isn't that child's feat something that could have been accomplished by another elementalist as well?”

Turned around, but that's it.

Right now, even if he suggests a way to Ilya, he might not be able to throw it away after that.

Even Pena had heard it from time to time.

Sometimes in the world of skilled artisans, something similar seems to happen.

He cited it as an example.

Above all, it was by chance that Ilya caught Pena's eyes and got a chance.

I'm not sure whether to call it a skill or not.

No, I'm asking blatantly.

Are you using it?

“I'm not saying Pena-sama is a bad person. But it's something we can't help but worry about.”

“I understand because I am also the mother of a child. but… … To be sure, you are mistaken.”

” mistaken?”

“he is… … Arell said this often.”

Pena decided to give an example of a truth that Arell muttered from time to time.

“What are you saying?”

“They say luck is also skill.”

Even if you get a chance to catch Pena's eyes and use it as an opportunity to succeed, isn't it still your skill?

“Above all, I don’t think the world is easy enough to get something with just luck.”

“… … Is it like that?”

Seeing his words and actions as he was worried about something, Pena was convinced.

Perhaps Lee Jae-ja was not simply trying to limit the future of his children for his own sake.

It's not what she thought.

If that's the case, I'll have to change direction and give you some advice.

“Sometimes, trusting is one of the things you will do as a parent.”

Could the meaning of those words be conveyed? He was silent for a moment, then answered in a trembling voice.

“I will remember it.”

Teaching someone is really hard work.

While tutoring Ilia, Pena must have realized that fact.

“Ugh… … How the hell does Arel do this over and over again?”

Such complaints are heard quietly.

It looks like Ilya is still thinking about teaching that kid.

I, who had been watching him quietly, quietly approached from behind, wondering if I would play a light joke.

“Arel. Do you know everything there is?”

“

It was a prank.

I shrugged my shoulders and quietly went to sit next to Pena.

“great job.”

“ha… … I won't do this a second time. Isn’t it Arel who couldn’t take care of things more than that?”

“I am reflecting.”

Investigation revealed that the rampant of the artifact was close to an accident.

The signal from Ilya's tool coincided with the artifact's activation signal, so it worked without permission.

Wasn't terribly lucky.

It was my order to raid the warehouse while expanding the academy. Should I have paid more attention?

“So it was Ilya? What about that kid?”

“… … It looks like you got permission safely.”

“Well, since I provoked the nobles that much, I have no choice but to admit it.”

“Although I think I may have exaggerated a bit.”

It received attention, including the presentation of a new theory and its play in the accident.

From what I've heard, Ilya himself seems to be a father right now, but he's dignified.

It will be good for you too.

“… … Hmm? And are you going to leave this to that child later?”

What Pena is looking at are documents related to the Academy Faculty.

A plan to attract Ilya to work for us in the future.

“School of Elementalism… … I told you, but you really did it.”

“I'll set a time later so Illia can pass it on when she does her part properly.”

Are you thinking of creating a school of spirit magic and passing it on at a time when you have more dignity?

The idea is evil once.

“Wouldn’t Pena do it for you?”

“Whoops. I want to decline twice.”

The hardships of teaching will not be common.

Well, since the trigger was made, it seems that it is enough.

When Pena sighed lightly and tried to say something.

Hearing the sound of small footsteps, Arna walked in.

” mom… …

“Arna. What's happen? Can't you sleep?”

“Please call the spirit… …

Arna, who was a little sleepy and whining, Pena smiled and called Sele to take her away.

Spirit is suffering today.

“mom. I'm also a spirit later... … Can't you teach me?”

As if surprised, she was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly and patted Arna's head.

“Whoops. Yes, Arna will teach you when she is a bit older, so go and sleep now.”

Arna, who was half asleep with Sele hugging her softly, went back to her bed in the arms of her nanny.

And after a while, Pena was about to say something she couldn't say before.

“Hey? Arel? Later, to the empire... … I'd like to talk to my father who is recovering. Bring Arna with you if possible.”

don't know what that means

Having had complicated emotions since she was a child and has hardly been involved in it until now, the reason she said it first was probably because she had thought about it a little.

“why?”

“I wanted to ask. Maybe he was angry with me the first time I called the spirit. Or maybe you were worried.”

Clearly his methods were wrong.

But do you want to know if your intentions are wrong?

Unexpectedly, a trivial occasion can be the cause of a person's change of heart.

“Okay, let’s set up a date sometime soon.”

No need for long words.

I just lean on my shoulder and cheer.

That, too, is sometimes necessary.

After a while, I secretly infiltrated the workshop of the first Mage Master, where Pena was involved.

If I intervene a little, there will be no big deal.

The investigation team will come soon.

So, I wanted to take a quick look first.

‘… … Inviting Mage Lord.'

However, it is rarely mentioned in history. I don't know if it's because it's simply closed.

‘What I'm curious about is what the heck did they hide.'

It was unexpected for me that the first Mage Master cultivated artificial spirits.

Why on earth did a wizard bother to study the theory of spiritism?

‘It's strange.'

Suspicious. It's so suspicious.

‘ there is??????

And finally found

An old dusty journal.

Let's check it out. There is a fairly detailed record of what research was being done at the time.

“hmm… … hmm… … After all, is it curiosity that you studied spiritism? … … A mysterious substance that produces spirits? What is it?”

Apparently, there must have been something in the workshop that got the idea.

After digging around, I finally found it, tightly kept.

“???? This.”

A specimen that appears to be part of a pure white creature. Seeing this, I felt quite suspicious.

The identity was immediately identified.

“The corpse of the divine beast? Where the hell?”

I frowned and smuggled it right into my secret house.

I cannot show this to others.

It's my personal opinion, but this is definitely the most annoying thing in the world.

“It would be nice if it ended in the past… …

I sighed and shook my head. How

a former pro

sucks honey
