25. unexpected offer. (2)

“Wizard. It is a letter.”

“Leave it in the mailbox.”

“… … yes.”

A low-level mage of the Mage Tower.

Delivering letters and messing around with high-ranking wizards was their main job at the Mage Tower.

I wonder if it’s a magician who took the elite route properly.

Because a mage with mediocre talent couldn’t be completely free from the Mage Tower.

Still, mail delivery was one of the less strenuous tasks.

Although I have to go to all the stars, it was extremely rare to see them face to face due to the nature of magicians who confine themselves to their rooms and do research.

A few more copies and today’s delivery work is over.

Thinking so, the low-level wizard frowned when he saw the box containing the letter.

“This letter… … Oh no.”

Lucia Bellatina.

No, Lucia.

Originally, he was one of the most easygoing wizards in the Mage Tower.

In just a few days, the wizard has risen to a position that can’t be easily touched.

He is being protected by Reinhardt.

That Reinhardt’s wretch, Cale, although I don’t know what he did, he said he had the power to artificially destroy the circle.

It is the power that all wizards fear the most.

And, of course, Lucia, who was protected by him, became an object of similar fear.

‘I shouldn’t get entangled as much as possible.’

There is nothing good about being entangled.

Aside from being a symbol of fear, Lucia was already firmly rooted in hatred for the high-ranking mages of the Mage Tower.

The low-ranking wizard thought so and lightly knocked on the door.

“Lucia. A letter has arrived.”

-Leave it.

A reply that comes back as soon as words run out.

It was also a hard voice that was hard to believe was human… … .

It must be some kind of voice recording magic or artifact.

Rumor has it that the Circle has been restored. looks really real.

Soon after, the low-ranking wizard who slipped the letter through the crack in the door stepped away from the room.

Flutter!

And at the same time, a letter rises from the floor.

As it rose into the sky, the doll-shaped artifact moved its body to catch it.

An artifact that a low-level wizard thought was voice recording magic,

No, Lou, who was nestled inside the artifact, opened the letter with an indifferent expression.

– It’s annoying. who sent… … . uh. Reinhardt?

sender

After reading it, Lu’s tone changed noticeably.

Duke Reinhardt. In other words, it was a letter from Cale.

Soon after, Lu reached for the letter with a slightly different attitude from before and slowly read what was written there.

Although it is a letter from Lucia.

Well, it was because she was Lucia herself.

-I decided to participate in the ‘Mutou Festival’, so I left Reinhardt’s mansion anyway. Call me if you need any help later. I’ll help you anytime… … .

Lou, who was reading along with it, lengthened the tail of his horse.

Even if it was just reading a letter.

Kale. I feel like I can hear his voice vividly in my ears.

-Huh. First of all, this will break his concentration when he sees it, so let’s put it in.

After all, Lucia was a car that had been properly restored to the circle a while ago.

After muttering that, Lu opened the subspace with a light gesture and carefully inserted the letter.

-… … okay. By the way, it means no fighting.

martial arts.

It is one of the biggest events in the Empire, and a place where countless knights and people gather to compete.

It wasn’t an event that had much merit for wizards.

I knew it because it was famous.

Because it was a competition where people gathered from all over the country and from all over the world.

At least at the time she remembered, Cale had never participated in it.

-It’s pitiful for the knights who will participate in this martial arts festival.

I wasn’t worried about him though.

Because there is not a single person in the world who has more talent than Cale in the field of ‘combat’.

“nice to see you. My name is Elena de Reyholton.”

Hearing that one word, I realized.

That what you are hearing right now is a dream.

And also that this is a story that did not happen in real life.

Often, there were times when the contents of the novel came out like this in a dream.

therefore. The contents of the novel I read before I became possessed.

When I wake up, even my memory remains hazy and I can’t even think of it properly.

Such shallow dreams.

However, what is unique is that I was Kale in that dream.

One might ask if Moore is unique.

Because it was strange to face myself acting like an idiot like the character in the original novel.

“Aha, are you that Leyhorton’s b*tch?”

But at the same time, it made me convinced that my current dream was in a novel.

I did something I wouldn’t do.

Because I didn’t do what I would have done.

It was definitely surprising that what I had read in writing unfolded in my dream.

Honestly, it’s just ridiculous to be surprised by something like this after being possessed in a novel.

So, as usual, I waited until I woke up from my dream.

no matter how much it’s a dream

Seeing Elena’s face like this was quite tiring.

Even up to that point, it should have been a dream no different than usual.

[…] … It seems to be ready.]

through my mouth.

Until a word I had never heard before was spit out.

Is it echoing through the mouth? Or, I don’t know if it’s just ringing in my head.

First of all, it was an unusual choice of words for Kale to do.

[When you wake up, there will be only a few pieces left in your hand.]

Not just such a simple choice of words.

In the voice that said that, I could feel even a slight vertigo for some reason.

Before I could question it, the world started to crumble.

Between the consciousness that the mind becomes clear and sinks down as if sinking.

In my voice, only a few words remain.

[Please keep in mind. What can solve ──. That there is only perfect——.]

that was the last one

Since then, I haven’t had the dream in the novel ever again.

flash

Even though no one in particular woke me up, I let out a short drool after opening my eyes.

“… … .”

A strangely heavy feeling.

When I opened my eyes, I felt a slight sense of déjà vu.

how to say Feeling like you’re forgetting something.

I unconsciously brought my hand to the bedside, but soon stopped.

Because I didn’t have the sword I always had by my bedside.

no.

‘… … What is he saying now. It’s only natural that there isn’t one.’

I don’t know if this was before the regression.

Because now was not the time to sleep with the sword by the bedside every time you went to sleep.

The first few days were awkward. It’s been a while since I came back, and nothing like this has happened.

It looks like I’m a little sleepy.

Have you ever dreamed while sleeping?

No, I think I did, but… … I do not remember.

As I put my awkwardness aside and got up, I heard a rattle around me.

“… … Oh, Master Cale. Are you awake?”

“Ciella?”

A girl with dark pink hair.

one and only My dedicated lady-in-waiting.

Apparently, he was about to wake me up when he saw that he had brought water.

“… … Hing. I was wondering if I could wake you up today.”

“What else?”

Ciela, unable to hide her gloomy expression, drooped her ears.

Come to think of it, since I returned, I’ve rarely woken up by Ciela.

Because every day I woke up a little earlier and was spinning the mana.

Ciela’s expression was very cute, so I couldn’t help but laugh and shrugged my shoulders.

“hmm. Siela. So, isn’t that what you brought to wake me up?”

“… … oh yes that’s right.”

Upon hearing that, Ciela held out the belated water to me.

If you look at it like this, it’s strangely full of loopholes.

Let’s touch it gently. The water is cool enough to wake you up.

After washing my face lightly with water, I stared blankly at my face reflected in the water for a moment.

Even though it was a face that had already lived for several years, it felt subtly awkward.

… … Apparently, I must have had a strange dream.

Seeing as I can’t remember, I guess it wasn’t particularly important.

“Ah, Master Cale, I heard you decided to go to the Mutou Festival… … ?”

Did the news spread faster than expected?

When I looked up, the pink-haired maid in charge had sparkling eyes.

It seems that the story related to Mutuje, which she talked about with her father yesterday, has already reached Siela’s ears.

no. Is it natural for the news to spread?

It’s not far away, it’s inside a narrow mansion.

It’s not something to hide in the first place, and it’s not something to be hidden.

“okay… … . how come So maybe Ciela, you should go too.”

“… … ! yes!”

Naturally.

Because Ciella is my exclusive maid.

If I go and she doesn’t go, that would be even weirder.

Surprisingly though. Ciella looked happy with her eyes sparkling.

I thought you wouldn’t like going that far.

“Bocchan, when is the departure?”

“depart? … … well?”

I haven’t even talked about him, but I’d guess.

Maybe give it 2 weeks or so.

The fact that registration for the preliminaries was yesterday means that the actual preliminaries are very, very much left.

I don’t know because I haven’t calculated it exactly… … I’m guessing it’s about a month left.

To be honest, I don’t think 2 weeks is too early.

I want to send Aion away before I change my mind as much as possible.

to be honest… … .

The desire to cancel right now was like a chimney.

‘what. But I don’t have the courage to go and talk about it myself.’

From nob le mt l. co m

Just as he was about to tell Ciela that he probably had two weeks left.

A sudden knocking sound broke my thoughts.

──Smart.

It is early morning, not afternoon.

There must have been no one who could come into the room?

Even if you feel the presence, it’s not particularly impressive, so naturally the number is limited.

I don’t know if it was a regression.

I was still not at the level of guessing who the person outside the door was, so I looked beyond the invisible door for a while.

what. It wasn’t like the door was going to break through.

It’s okay to come in if you don’t know who it is——just before saying.

A voice came from the other side of the door.

“Cale, can I come in for a minute?”

And the moment I heard that voice, for some reason, my body strangely stiffened for a moment.

What a difficult to explain.

Even though I only heard your voice, I felt like my body stiffened.

no. It would be natural.

I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t guess who it was when I heard a voice as familiar as this one.

And even if you hold it for that long.

… … A voice I still couldn’t get used to.

“Yes, you may come in. … … mother.”

my. No, ‘Kale’s mother.

Duchess Lyanna Reinhardt.

Sigh.

When I agreed, the door opened and she slowly entered the room.

An example of an aristocrat with elegance.

Dare, I can compare it like that.

“You were with Ciela. Then, excuse me for a moment.”

“You don’t have to say that.”

“… … okay. so.”

It’s a tone that I’m not used to in the previous episodes or even now, as if I’m unfamiliar with this.

Is it because I am not Kayle?

Or, on the contrary, is it because I am Kale?

Somewhere in that tone, my heart was cold.

It’s a strange feeling to be simply guilty.

But what she said next.

It was a word that preceded the feeling of bewilderment, whether it was heartbreaking or sleeping.

“I heard from your father. Today, I heard you decided to leave the mansion in preparation for the Mutu Festival?”

“… … yes?”

me?

… … why?
