”But, calmly, since this is an academy, shouldn’t we rely on teachers?”
Iris, who was as calm as her words, said.
”It’s such a cleverly concealed magic formula. I’m sure that it will take some time to explain and convince them of what it is. I know analysis can’t be brought to light, and we don’t have the time.”
“Do you have time?”
Iris gazed at the string of letters floating in the void.
“It doesn’t seem to be timed, but… hmm? Will it spontaneously disappear this evening?”
“Yes. It is so optimized. That would be an indication of the ‘activate by tonight’ intention. We don’t know the conditions for activation, but it could be activated at this very moment.”
“It says that the culprit will activate it remotely, but I couldn’t read who the person was and what method and timing he was using.”
“The best way to prevent it from being activated is to destroy the technique. It’s not going to be a simple matter, but even if you succeed, other magic formulas will be activated in conjunction with it all at once. It’s tricky.”
While Iris and Lisa looked at each other with difficulty.
“Then, let’s destroy four of them at once.”
Charlotte said matter-of-factly.
However, Iris saw the unwavering faith in the girl’s eyes.
(I know. That’s a confidence that comes from a different nature than either groundless delusion or innocent expectation.)
This is a state of affairs that is reached only by those who consider all the methods derived from their cards and are able to prepare a number of the best moves.
It was the same as the best warrior maiden who once destroyed herself – Princess Senko.
(No, she was more confident than she was at that time when she faced the Demon King. What the hell is this girl…)
The reason is obvious. She has no doubt in the absolute existence of Shiva. As if she believes in the unchanging providence of water flowing from high to low. Is it rather that the result of the trust that will be accomplished even if it is against the providence?
(This girl must be someone who knows him intimately.)
We may even be getting close to his identity.
(I want to know, me too.)
However, I’m not qualified yet. Charlotte had enough potential to make me painfully aware of that.
”Hmm….but I don’t have enough hands.”
Lisa and Frey could handle it by force. Charlotte had a secret plan, too.
But, three women against four places. I can’t rely on Shiva.
”Lisa, is it possible to destroy this place remotely, after making the magic technique here inoperable?”
“I think I can…. But, the veins of the earth are already being used, and it will take a lot for me to get out of here to maintain it.”
“Can I get someone to maintain it for me?”
“I don’t know. You might have to be at a higher level of magic.”
“I’ll ask Professor Tia to help you.”
“Not her. I think she’ll want to see it activated.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
When they were hmmm and troubled, Iris called out to them.
“I have a guess. They should still be on campus. Do you mind if I ask you out?”
Charlotte looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said.
”Of course. Since my brother’s friend recommended you.”
Iris’s cheeks loosened as well.
”Then, take care of this one.”
Self-enhanced, she disappeared into the woods like a gale.
”I’ll explain the situation to Frey. I’ll have her prepare to destroy the magical artifacts in the graveyard.”
“When I’m ready to destroy this place, do you want me to go to the nearest royal palace from here?”
“Yes. Then, I’ll go to the south cathedral.
“Okay. Okay, I’ll start.”
Lisa quietly chanted a spell and let the cold air take over her body – and then she was gone.
Iris returned with two students.
One of the boys saw the scene in the woods and shouted.
”What the hell?!”
It was Rias who was astonished. Next to him was Marianne, also wide-eyed in surprise.
It’s not just a matter of time before you’ll be able to get your hands on a new one.
“Princess Marianne! You must be Princess Marianne. It’s been a long time!”
Charlotte took the puzzled princess’s hand and jumped up and down.
”Could it be… Charlotte-chan? Oh! You’ve grown up.”
“Hn, your ego just got bigger and bigger. I mean, did you do this?”
Charlotte’s eyes rolled up at Rias, who was intimidating her from above with his glare.
“Who are you?”
“It’s Rias! You’re with your sister, I notice that.”
“…advancement? I’m amazed that such magic exists.”
“Hey! I grew up the normal way!”
“That’s not the point, Prince Rias.”
“Damn….he hasn’t changed at all…”
Charlotte said without seeming to be bothered by the goofy Rias.
”I’m relinquishing control of the magic here to you. Is that alright?”
“Oh, yeah. Iris told me about it, but…”
“To be honest, it doesn’t feel real. Even though the country is a messy mess with the rise of the aristocracy, I can’t believe that a plan is going on that will cause chaos… or even mayhem in the royal capital.”
(Well, that bastard Shiva is involved…)
The hero of the kingdom and the Queen mother, Giselotte, is a person to be wary of. I was hesitant to dismiss it as a child’s fantasy.
(And that magic is the ‘ice-breaking stake’, right?)
It’s the equivalent of rank B magic that can be used by magic level 30 and above. To create that many, the sorcerer would be over level 40. It was not something that could be laughed at as a plaything.
”Fine. Just do it.”
As Rias increased his own magical power, cold air tangled around his body. The moment–.
”Nuh-oh!”
The magic power is being sucked out of the end of the concoction. The only thing that matters is the fact that it’s not possible to do this! Rias is blackmailed by a weak voice.
“Keep your nerve, Rias!
As soon as he did, the magic suction weakened.
”I’ll help you too. If it takes two of us, we can manage…”
While saying that, Marianne didn’t have time to wrinkle her brows either.
The back of her outstretched left hand, the royal crest, glowed.
Rias’s back also glowed through his shirt.
(ka, koi. I want one too!)
Charlotte’s eyes are drawn to the royal crest, but she shakes her head in a way that is nowhere near as important.
“Lisa, what do you think?”
“Hmm. Control’s stabilized. I’ll drive the stake in place remotely, so just focus on maintenance.”
“Just get it over with. We won’t last all night.”
Nodding her head, Charlotte stuck her hand into her four-dimensional pouch. What she pulled out was a pink, pretend costume.
”…Hey, what are you doing?”
“I’m going into attack mode. Good…”
”Dee!”
As she suddenly started to take off her clothes, Rias looked away in a hurry.
”I mean, there’s more than the capacity of that pouch out there…?” Iris thought.
“I’ll explain in details later. Lisa, could you help me with that?”
Charlotte has finished dressing with Lisa’s help.
“Righteous Puella Magi Immortal Char-chan, the fate of death is to beat your sorrow and resolve it.”
She paused with something that looked like a magical stick.
“Hurry up, I said!”
“I can’t fly without it.”
(TLNote: Is this sailor moon… bruuh chuunibyo all the way in another world!! Nobody will say a thing or two! I’m deeply envious of you!! GO CHAR!! JUSTICE!!)
Hart has planted various functional wards in the costume.
”I mean, there was a vaguely bleak atmosphere there without saying it, but…?”
Charlotte responded to Marianne’s suspicions with a blunt, “It was my imagination.”
“Here’s one for you all,”
She handed the watch-shaped communication magic tool to Iris and fitted it around to Rias and Marianne.
Both Lisa and I swooped down and floated down.
“Then, we will go on to destroy the other magic artifacts. Good luck!”
She flew off across the woods with a whimper.
“You should at least explain how to use it…”
His arm flashed as he spilled it.
“I’ll explain it to you now.”
“Woah!”
He was truly surprised to see Charlotte’s face appear in front of him.
”Whatever….”
The resolution of all doubts can wait. Rias and the others had no choice but to accept the situation for now – they had to give up.
