People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"This is not a problem. And Mr. Sigurd himself is also a part of my plan. In fact, if he exists, then the overall plan can omit steps from 560 to 110. "

"But you're not sure you can completely control him, are you? I mean, he doesn't have a weakness. Even if you threaten him with Aiyu or Yuri Qianye, if you get it, it's just a reckless counterattack, right?"

"Extreme defense and distorted unity. In a sense, I don't hate such a guy. In fact, with Sigurd at present, I don't have the confidence to deal with him alone."

"Too conservative? Shouldn't it be the same as adding my 'aaa'?"

There's no denying the Golden Retriever, or Kihara Naostem's claims.

Seeing that Aleister silently acquiesced to his statement, Kihara Naogen took a deep breath of his cigar and continued to speak.

"So? Is the reason for doing this about the 'leadership qualities' you mentioned last time? (gasps)"

"Sigurd is said to dominate others, exert influence, and put his 'pieces' into just the right circumstances to play his own value. If there is a profession as a metaphor, it is like conducting a symphony orchestra conductor Home."

Kihara Naogen didn't answer, and silently smoked his cigar.

"What do you think the so-called 'leadership qualities' refer to?"

"I usually default to 'hero', 'righteous partner' or 'ruler', how?"

"That's a failing answer. In fact, there are three elements to 'leadership'."

After the space was silent for a while, it was still Aleister who continued to speak.

But for Kihara Naogen, Aleister's words today seem to be a little too much.

"The 'heroic qualities' you mentioned are just one of them. Sigurd-kun also has the ability to interpret space and control things that make him feel particularly comfortable or at ease with him. He can also control everything. Judgment, and analyze to the greatest extent the smallest wit in it. Of course..."

"..."

"There is also an absolute self-centeredness who is in control of everything, as if he is the center of everything. It is not full of arrogance, but absolute self-confidence based on strength."

"I see. If this is your 'romance', then you've grown a lot."

"Then should I say thank you?"

Demonstration

It was originally scheduled to be held in July every year, an event to showcase the research results of Academy City ability users to the outside world.

But this year it was unexpectedly early.

On the Academy City supersonic airliner flying from Tokyo to Paris, there were only two people, excluding the crew.

Some nervously recited the lines and the process of the "ability demonstration" over and over again.

Hasekura Lengri paced back and forth inside the cabin nervously.

However, this is mostly due to the excellent performance of Academy City's aircraft, otherwise it would be lucky not to fall into the mud at this speed.

"Well, I'm so nervous..."

"So what are you nervous about? It's fine as usual?"

Sigurd, who was leaning on the sofa and watching the comics, said casually, and casually took out a grape from the fruit plate beside him and threw it into his mouth.

Feeling the sweet and slightly floral grapes burst in his mouth, Sigurd continued to turn the manga to the next page.

"It's not a day or two since you've been to 'Great Abilities (level.4)'. You just need to come here as usual. You don't need to perform any difficult moves."

"But this is a demonstration of the ability to participate on behalf of Academy City, if you make a mistake!"

"Don't worry, what you are going to do is like being changed by a show that has never been in the kitchen. People who don't understand the shit will just sigh 'Wow, that's amazing', even if you beat it wrong, no one will care. .”

Although Sigurd said so, Hasekura Rengri continued to silently recite the lines to be said and the actions to be done.

The black short stick that matches the costume in his hand is also constantly gesticulating, as if he is very concerned about the movements during the ability display.

By the way, Renri Hasekura's costumes are not evening gowns, but women's suits that are sometimes in the middle of a magician and a deaconess.

In fact, for Lengli Hasekura, although he represented Academy City to Paris, France to demonstrate his ability, but generally speaking, when people hear about such things, they will only sigh "that's amazing".

A large part of the students in Academy City are not very interested in this kind of thing.

And if I am the only one who has been given a mission, and the other students have to go to class as usual, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread about this privilege.

In particular, Hasekura Lengli is the leader of one of Tokiwadai's three major factions, and it is not surprising that it is rumored to be a privilege given by Academy City.

In fact, such things are usually not something to be happy about.

Although you are an "excellent ability" selected by Academy City, it also means that you represent Academy City.

To put it bluntly, not free.

First of all, the first point is that things like school activities have a clear purpose.

Moreover, this will not take into account the personal characteristics of the participants, it is only for the convenience of the school, for this purpose.

At this time, not only is freedom deprived, but there is no partner who can share weal and woe in school activities.

It is impossible for people to enjoy it under such circumstances.

At the very least, a school event with a large number of people, or a solo trip with complete freedom.

Obviously, no matter which one it is, there is a way to enjoy it.

Although Lengri Hasekura was very excited and nervous, it was also because of his uncharacteristic performance. Lengri Hasekura himself also "doesn't find it interesting at all", but one of the manifestations of "stressful".

The leader of the Shikura faction, who is usually a bit strong but very calm and responsible for stability, is gone.

Instead, the Tokiwadai girl, Hakura Lengri, who is now stumbling around in the cabin, stammering nervously.

"Hey......"

Sigurd also knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he did not intend to use some extraordinary means to calm Hasekura Lengri down.

After all, it’s okay to be a little nervous. After all, this trip to France is not a peaceful thing in terms of the ability to show itself or the "civil strife" that France is currently encountering.

This event is part of a plan to strengthen cooperation between Chemical Park City and cooperative organizations.

That is to say, if the failure is negligent, various rifts may arise. Hasekura Rengri is an important figure in charge of the diplomatic situation between France and Academy City.

And the background, it seems, is the technical intelligence gap.

There is a gap of 30 to [-] years in science and technology between the "inside" and "outside" of Academy City.

Although the cooperating organizations enjoyed a certain degree of favor, Academy City did not fully disclose their information.

The information leakage prevention policy and so on, the cooperation agency will definitely not find it interesting, will it?

And the purpose of the ability demonstration is to tell the fellows of the cooperative agencies:

We have not hidden anything from you, we have even sent our proud ability users to exchange and study with you, you have to trust us

Although both parties know that such statements are nonsense, they have to greet each other with a smile because of their faces.

And secondly, that is the reason why this ability demonstration was advanced, it will also be called the "civil strife" in France.

Now, according to all the documents Sigurd has received, it is not a single association that disturbed France this time, and it cannot even be said that it was a commotion completely caused by magicians.

Almost all of the 20.00% of the French Christian system that does not belong to the Roman Orthodox system rebelled.

There are even some magic associations and personal magicians that do not belong to France, but are involved because of various joint relationships.

This incident can be said to have completely paralyzed the magic system within France, and even some official systems of general events have undergone changes to varying degrees.

As a result, France had to ask for help from the Roman Orthodox Church and the English Puritan Church.

You know, let the French lady do this, if France is really doomed, she will never take the initiative to bow to the Roman Orthodox Church. serious.

(France itself is a very subtle country on the magic side. After the baptism of the French Revolution, French magicians formed two completely separated systems.)

Sigurd squinted his eyes and looked out the window at the clouds quickly passing below the plane, thinking so.

(Descendants of Charles Henri Sanson and Charlotte Corday. They are all set in "declining nobles".)

Rarely, Sigurd felt troublesome.After all, the whole incident now affects more than just France.

For the target, the girl who was rescued by Sigurd ten years ago is the core of the whole incident.

"The oracle of Jeanne..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although it is not exactly in time for summer or winter tourist season, there are still quite a lot of people coming and going near the entrance and exit of the airport.

Moreover, Paris, France, also has a good tourism industry. After all, the tertiary industry in a country with a developed economy is the most important economic pillar. If there are no people here, it is not an exaggeration to understand that the French tourism system has collapsed. .

Although tourists, businessmen, and transport operators are completely separated from the planes that Sigurd and Hasekura Ryori took, Sigurd can still see the crowded travelers in the airport building from a distance.

And it was when Sigurd was observing the structure and surrounding environment of the airport that he also noticed someone approaching.

"Let the two wait for a long time, and meet for the first time."

It was a middle-aged man in a custom-made suit. Although his hair was thinning, he still took care of it carefully. He seemed to be the type of person who cared about his appearance very much.

"My name is Pete Virgo, and I am the person in charge of the French cooperation agency under Academy City. I am also the person in charge of this capability demonstration."

Pete Virgo intentionally used Japanese to talk to the two. It seems that considering that Sigurd and Hasekura Ryori are from Japan Academy City, it is natural to arrange a person who can communicate in Japanese as a guide. .

However, this kind of Japanese with a strong French flavor made Sigurd feel uncomfortable listening.

"Ah, meeting for the first time, my name is Hasakura Ryori, please give me your advice!"

"Sigurd."

One of the two is a famous young lady of Tokiwadai, and a large part of the relatively commonly used languages ​​such as French and German in Tokiwadai's daily courses are also proficient.

As for Sigurd, he is a mercenary running all over the world. It would be strange if he couldn't speak French.

Seeing that both of them can speak French, and both are quite fluent, the man also smiled awkwardly.

But he doesn't feel that he can't get off the stage, and it's a great thing for him that the other party can speak French.

After all, if there is something inappropriate for him to communicate in Japanese, if it causes diplomatic problems between France and Academy City, then ten lives are not enough for him to pay.

Academy City's plane was parked in the warehouse of Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport. Since Sigurd and Hasekura Lengri belonged to special personnel, it was naturally impossible for them to appear directly inside the airport.

This is on the tarmac one kilometer away from the airport building, and what is waiting here at this time is a rather luxurious car.

"Both of you, please get in the car. Because of their special identities, we must ensure their safety throughout the journey."
