Chapter 42 – A Genius and a remote encounter between geniuses

Liza, who broke up with Hart, was wandering around without a place. She was told that she could go home, but she didn’t want to go through the mystery space-time by herself.

“What should I do……”

She walked out of the building.

“Liza, is there anyone around at the moment?”

“Hyawa!?”

Suddenly, there was a voice in her ears, and Liza was so surprised that she was about jump up. She looked around but there was no one. 𝒏𝒐𝓥𝓮𝓁𝑛𝚎xt.𝗰𝗈𝓂

“Oh, this is Charlotte-sama?”

“That’s right. It’s not your direct call to your mind, it’s my brother’s communication magic.”

“That would require a massive operation, and I’m pretty sure this is not…..”

Liza is an ancient dragon that has lived for 300 years. She has spent most of her time alone, so her spirit is immature. However, I am knowledgeable and I also experienced a scale of ancient magic.

Ancient magic, which once flourished, had the secret of exchanging sounds and images with distant places. However, it shouldn’t have been magical enough to apply to your ears.

(But, I wonder if there was such a simplified magic in the past…?)

As expected, she did not know the magic of mythology.

“First of all, if there is no one else in the room, please show me my image. The method is—-”

Although, it was explained in advance, Liza listened as to not miss it. There is no problem with the operation, the scare was not enough to wake up the fidgety hands. When she tapped her earlobe somehow, a thin plate-like object appeared in front of her and Charlotte’s face was projected on it.

There is no sign of people nearby. However, “This magic should be kept secret,” said Hart. Liza floated her small body and moved far above the central school building near the cathedral. Nobody can talk to her here.

“Is he in class?”

“Yeah. I can’t enter the classroom, so I was ordered to wait.”

“My older brother has classes until noon, but until then, you should be able to move freely.”

“Do you have anything to do?”

“Yes. You will be asked to collect information about the back student council inside the school.”

Gulping, Liza cleared her throat. It was unexpected that they couldn’t get into the classroom, but perhaps Charlotte had anticipated it. If that was the case, it was obvious what they would use the time for. But, without instructions, she couldn’t do anything on her own. That, too, will be resolved now.

“But, where do I start?”

[It’s a secret organization that works in the shadows. It will be difficult to gather information from the general public. In that case…]

“Wait.”

A horrible feeling of fear ran down Liza’s back.

The reaction to the use of magic from below. Someone who arrived just below Liza at a tremendous speed jumped up for a Lisa who is floating over 200 meters.

Chanting is omitted. Fully rotated the magic power to prepare for the interception. She erased the screen on which Charlotte was shown, even though she was fluttering in the air. Someone was fast and got right in front of Liza.

“Oh! It’s flying magic. What a lovely maid it’s like…”

The figure screamed, and passed through. A woman who looks like a child wearing glasses.

Eventually, she would fall down the same route.

“First of all, let’s introduce myself. I’m Tiarietta Russey who study ancient magic at this school…”

I passed by in the middle of saying her name.

“What should I do?”

She didn’t mean to ask, but Charlotte’s voice returned.

“She’s a professor of the laboratory to which my older brother belongs to. Teachers will be sensitive to disturbing movements. It’s also be good to get in touch and get information.”

“If so, I wonder if Mr. Hart would ask her directly?”

“My older brother will be getting more detailed information without taking careful moves. It’s frustrating, but we have to do it the right way. We will get information from her, and then we will approach the people responsible for the evil as best we can. Yeah, my older brother is a few dozen steps ahead, so I can’t wait.”

‘I see’, Liza nods.

“Then, we’ll contact you”

Don’t be discovered that you are a demon. Liza paid attention and landed on the ground.

A little-glasses girl crawled on all four and breathed on her shoulders.

“…Are you okay?”

“No, I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I’ve been strengthening myself. I’m a little stupid, but I’m stumped…”

Tiarietta, who had been busy for a while, screamed “Resurrection!” and stood up.

“Well, I have a lot of questions to ask. What is your interest? It doesn’t bother me. It’ll take some time. There’s no way we can talk here, so why don’t you come to my laboratory?”

Apparently, she is interested in herself. She thought of that as she is being propped up. However, there are limits to what one can tell. There is plenty of time, but it would be dangerous to enter the opponent’s base. There is also some danger in getting information. If you are known to be a demon, then-

“I will prepare tea and sweets.”

“all right”

She won’t be caught by sweets. Never.

A two-story old building that they finally arrived at after being pulled over a large site. There is a distance from the central school building. They passed through a large room on the second floor. It’s a room with sofas and tables cluttered.

Liza sat on the sofa as prompted. Although it is not visible, she cannot be seated deeply because she has a tail.

”I see. I see. But, he’s generally a delightful guy too. I’m sure you’ll be able to find out more about this as well. I’m not sure I’d like to see such a thing as a maid.”

Tiarietta spoke almost unilaterally while brewing tea. Liza only mentioned her name and as “Hart’s servant”.

“However, it’s strange that you are as anonymous as you are.”

“…I came from the Imperial territory”

“Oh, that’s it. After the death of the demon king, there are serious opponents of the kingdom. You’re in a delicate position.”

She’s not lying. In addition, by telling a story that cannot be professed, it will be a check against further prying.

“It’s strange. If you’re a knight commander class user in the empire, I can find information here. But, I haven’t heard of a girl named Liza. Why?”

However, Tiarietta is approaching with no concern.

(Difficult to do…)

Obviously, if you try to match your opponent, you’ll get tattered. Liza thought that it was a bit forcible, but tried to pull in at this pace.

“I have something to ask you”

“Yeah, the information is basically give-and-take. The information that I can give is only enough to reveal your identity.”

To her who shined the back of her small glasses, Liza-.

“I am going home”

“I wouldn’t tell anyone about it, just because you’re a demon. I just…”

“eh?”

Liza who floats her waist became rigid.

“why……?”

“Hmm. I tried a bit of effort, but it seems to have been hit from the opposite reaction. The sofa on your back is dented unnaturally. I guess there is probably something like a tail.”

When she turned around, the tail she couldn’t see pressed against the back of the sofa, creating a strange dent.

“It’s not “phantom magic (Illusionary Magic)”. It’s theoretically impossible to make part of the body transparent at all times. And you were talking to someone when you were floating in the sky, isn’t it communication magic? It’s magic that people can’t control, but if you’re a demon, that’s what?”

Liza’s shivering didn’t stop.

“Isn’t it somehow cold?”

The breath of Tiarietta who is asking is white.

“You were too intuitional”

Cold air filled the room. The doors and windows are completely closed to ice.

“So, I’m going to kill you”

She knew that it would be troublesome. However, she couldn’t think of anything other than killing the person who knew her identity.

“No, no, this feels a little out of my control. Let’s calm down and talk. We can all understand each other!”

“Rejected”

“Hi!?”

The freshly brewed black tea has already frozen. Tiarietta managed to resist with self-strengthening and protective magic, but her limits were just around the corner.

“Help me!”

It’s when she always spits out and seeks salvation from God for the first time.

“Stio! It’s a stop, Liza. Or stay! “

A deafening cry sounded for Liza. Charlotte stopped her.

“I’m sorry, I was careless.”

“No, it’s not Liza’s responsibility. I was the one who did it inadvertently.”

“Anyway, she can’t be kept alive.”

“No, you don’t have to go public. You don’t have to go that far, do you?”

“Then, break the eyes, ears, and mouth, and immerse the limbs in ice.”

“Don’t push in the direction of slaughter. Let me take care of you here.”

Charlotte gave instructions.

“It seems like you’re having a terrifying conversation for a while, but is it a communication magic?”

In front of Tiarietta, who is trembling but with shining her eyes.

“First time I see you, Professor Tiarietta Russey”

A picture of the Barrier for Communication appeared. It showed the top of the neck of a person wearing a white mask. The voice is vague as if it were a man or a woman, but It felt like a girl.

“Oh! Not only your voice, but your appearance! Communication magic, isn’t it? Amazing! I want to know!”

Forgetting the danger of her life, she got very excited.

“I am… Yes, well “Weiss Owl”. Does it make sense to you?”

“Fuhahahaha! Rumored genius researcher! Well, that makes sense. I have over a thousand questions for you.”

Tiarietta forgot the cold and jumped up.

“Unfortunately, I can’t say much. Let’s have a discussion to have your life remain as it is.”

“Oh, yeah… I know….”

After being pulled back into reality, Tiarietta quivered like a deserted kitten.

(Note: Ooh… A wild Cliffhanger appeared!)
