Chapter 522 – 42. Dezac Empire – General Escalor Destrov (5)
Thought Natalie.
He said that it was the first time since he became the owner of the Mage Tower that the Mage Tower had been filled with such bloody air.
No, maybe it was the first time since the mage tower was built.
That’s why it seemed as if the current imperial mage tower was standing on a blade.
On top of the sharp blade of the Emperor, the true master of the Mage Tower and the top of the Empire.
‘Damn it.’
It was difficult for me to spit out swear words, so I kept it inside.
But a realistic word escaped my lips.
“It’s the worst.”
Worst.
That was the situation of the current Imperial Magic Tower.
The prestige of the mage tower was not the only problem.
Morale, too, has plummeted so much that I can’t even think of coming out of the ground.
It is also true that the name ‘Great Mage Robert Ulrich’ had a profound influence on the Mage Tower beyond what the world thinks, and it continues to do so. It was because the emperor was a little too heroic and at the same time he was a great wizard.
I don’t know what it might have been like in reality, but a traitor who dreamed of overthrowing the empire, the previous Mage Master who was respected by everyone.
“How do you accept this…”
Natalie muttered in a melancholy voice and buried herself in her chair.
The soft feeling of the chair is too unfamiliar, probably because I have always been floating in the air with magic.
I would be able to float in any situation, but right now I can’t seem to keep up with the floating magic.
“Master…”
I thought Robert would be alive.
No, I believed so.
No matter how old he had reached the highest level of being a great mage, he died in an accident during a magic experiment without leaving a body. Isn’t that too absurd to say?
I just haven’t been able to find the right evidence, so I’ve been investigating separately so far. Lately, it seemed to be working on its own. But to get a clue to his survival in this way is heartbreaking.
“… Huh. I still don’t know.”
She also participated in the study of the Chimera Monster.
I thought I could feel some familiar technique and style, but I couldn’t believe it was really a trace of Master.
“…”
Natalie, who had been sitting blankly, rose from her seat.
There are two more people in the Mage Tower who are as tough as themselves.
Robert’s two grandchildren, Adele and Adolf.
Actually, I’m not sure about the latter.
Adolf might be disturbed because he is so self-centered and not so close to his grandfather. But Adele will definitely be confused. The reason he became a wizard was because he liked Robert as much as he did.
‘Come to think of it…. It hasn’t been posted since that day.’
It hasn’t been long since I found the lab and the owner of the place was revealed, but I don’t remember seeing Adele.
Natalie left the room to comfort her pupil her, both as a teacher and as a family member with whom Robert was particularly close.
The elder’s disciples use the same floor as the master, but the mage’s disciples use one floor below. It is divided into four rooms that can accommodate up to four people, but so far none of the rooms have been fully occupied.
“… Whoa.”
Natalie trudged toward Adele with weak steps.
As she stood at the door, she hesitated for some reason, but she soon knocked and found Adele.
Smart.
“Is Adele there?”
“…”
There was no answer, but she waited.
She knows Adele is inside.
The previous question was only formal.
Because of the soundproofing magic, even if there is something inside, you can’t hear it.
‘… It’s late.’
Anxiety that suddenly bloomed in her chest.
Natalie quickly unlocked her door with magic.
“Adele, come in…?”
But what caught her eye was a completely different sight than she had imagined.
“Uh, what? Shu, Shu-shun-sama?”
“…”
Her face is covered with tears and runny nose, and how she had been crying just now. Adele, a cute disciple who is not able to speak well, rests her throat. Although her messed up face her is still cute and lovely in Natalie’s eyes, it’s a pity.
So far, I still understand.
“Ahaha, hello.”
“… That, yes.”
But why is she with Valdes?
No, if you think about it, she had only one reason for coming here.
“You’ve come to comfort me.”
At Natalie’s words her, Valdez nodded her head.
“Yes. I was going to go upstairs after going to Adele, but somehow…”
Saying she was going to go to Natalie as well, Valdez sneakily showed her her own breasts her.
Adele’s red face became even more blushing at the fact that she was tainted with filth of unknown origin.
It could be said to be a kind of force majeure, but it is normal for her to be ashamed of herself as a young woman in her twenties. Although she is a teacher, the fact that she was caught by someone other than Valdes also contributed to her shame her.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Natalie shook her head in relief.
It was fortunate.
It was not relief for her worry that her disciple her Adele, who had fallen into confusion, would do something strange.
It was her relief and relief her that Adele had someone to show her crying, except for herself and her Theresia her, and she let go of her throat. One disciple with her scars is already this big.
“…”
But at the same time, a strange feeling tickled her heart.
Jealousy.
This feeling is definitely jealous.
But who or what this jealousy was, Natalie herself couldn’t figure out.
She and she didn’t even want to think about it.
“Thank you, Valdes. For thinking of Adele like this.”
To his gratitude as a teacher, Valdez smiled and replied.
“Thank you. Adele and Natalie are precious people to me.”
“…Okay.”
She barely holds back the itching in her mouth.
Why did Valdes bother to add an afterword?
Come to think of it, since she visited Adele earlier, she said that she was going to come to him too.
At first I thought it was unique.
To her her, her her Valdes her is a good friend of her two pupils her, a polite and likeable young man, and a boy she wants to take care of. It’s partly because of her age her, but she also partly blames Natalie for not being interested in the younger opposite sex.
But she’s not blind.
Her strange eyes, words, and actions sometimes shown by her Valdez her make her feel complicated.
A meaningful feeling that contains a meaning that I know or don’t know.
“Well, then I’ll be back. I’ll take care of our Adele.”
“Yes I will.”
Natalie turned her body around, flustered by the strange sensation that was quickly filling her chest with her.
“Uh, are you going to earn money?”
“Puhyuk. Yes. I was going to comfort you, but it seems like there’s already someone in the seat next to you.”
“Ah…”
Adele’s face turned red at the teacher’s joke.
Turning her head slightly, Natalie let out a laugh.
“This is a gift.”
She gently stirred her hand and Adele felt her throat clear.
She tried to thank her teacher, but Natalie did better and shut the door.
Adele’s room is left alone again.
Adele, who had been still for a while, made a strange noise and buried her face in Valdez’s chest again. She was embarrassed for a while, but thanks to her her, her depression her was somewhat gone. Instead, resentment remained.
“Hehe, I was really surprised.”
“Me too…”
Adele smiled at the wet feeling in his chest her.
I am so grateful to my friend Theresia, who was called after staying with me all day, and my teacher Natalie, who came to visit me with a worried face. And Valdes too. I never thought the day would come when I would bury my face in someone’s chest and cry like this.
‘I was surprised when he came to me while I was crying, but…. Hee hee.’
Since last night, Princess Theresia 4 had been guarding her side of her.
Even though I can’t say anything comforting because I’m not good with words, just being with me was a big help.
Then she was called to her imperial affairs and left alone.
The silence was similar, but the silence was unbearable.
The tear duct finally burst.
I was crying out loud for my throat to be hoarse, and the door suddenly opened.
It turns out that when Theresia left, she left the door slightly open.
It was a friend’s consideration not to confine herself to her room her when someone came to comfort her.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah… I think so.”
“I’m glad.”
“…Thank you.”
“It’s okay. I heard that from Natalie-sama earlier.”
“…… Are you going up?”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you going to comfort me and also comfort Master?”
“Well, can’t we go slowly? Natalie-sama seems to be finer than I thought.”
“…”
Then the short conversation stopped.
Valdez still held her head to his chest.
I don’t know if she has a childish personality by nature, but Adele never thinks of leaving.
Her hoarse throat her magically returned, but she thought that her clothes and face her would be covered with tears and runny nose, but she was still in good spirits. If she were like herself, she would have removed her face her and cleaned it up with magic.
“Hey, Valdes.”
“Yes.”
“Come to think of it, I… I think I still have a complicated mind.”
“I guess so.”
I found out the truth of the grandfather and wizard I respected, but it was shocking.
More than half of this was true, so Valdez felt little guilt.
I just feel sorry for Adele and Natalie for taking advantage of this.
“So, to comfort me… Help me a little more.”
“I’ll help you with anything I can. Aren’t you helping me more than that?”
“Hehe. That’s right. But I want help with other things too.”
“Something else. For example?”
“… That, so….”
Adele stuttered her words and raised her head sluggishly.
Tension is young, yet there is a strange expectation in the eyes.
“…?”
Her face her drew closer before Valdez could even question it.
“Adele?”
Side.
“…”
“… Hehe. It’s a bit salty.”
“That’s right, your tears and nose…”
“Aaaaa! That, that’s it! I’m not talking about anything other than tears!”
Valdez burst out laughing.
I hope you get a preemptive strike.
I was thinking of trying to improve her progress by comforting her her, who was heartbroken today, but this is a really unexpected result.
“Where else did you learn this?”
“Where do you learn, because I’m an adult too?”
“And that’s what I do.”
“Then hey, would you like to check it?”
“…What?”
This is also an odd question.
Seeing that her face her, which had calmed down a little, is turning red again, it seems that it is not a simple joke.
“Yo, lately… Tessa has become interested in weird things. So, he, me too… I’m watching with you.”
“…”
“So… I was curious. Indeed, like something out of a book… Is it good for forgetting something?”
Adele’s words brought a smile to Valdez’s lips.
She felt as though the arrow she had accidentally shot caught the rabbit as well as the deer.
