I Became a Different World Gravity Wizard

69 – Pack of Wolves

Unlike a year ago, the number of people in the carriage to the ball has increased.

The Archmage Penia.

At last year’s prom, because I liked Alyn and me, she became our teacher from that day on.

And the saintess Iris sitting next to me.

A few days ago, as her new head of household, she visited the house to give her blessing, and even though her work was over, she did not return to the temple.

I wanted to ask why she didn’t go back to the temple, but I still haven’t heard the reason because she changes her seat every time I try to ask.

I didn’t pay much attention to it even if it was there, so I didn’t think about forcibly sending it to the temple.

In addition, just because they pay for their meals together every day, they get up early every morning and help with the kitchen work or clean up with Luna.

Seeing her help her with the house work without paying, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay with her in her house.

I slightly turned her head to look at Lucas, who was sitting next to Iris.

Even after sending all the other knights back to the temple, Lucas stays with Iris in the mansion to protect her.

At first, she didn’t like us because she wasn’t polite to Iris, but after she stayed at the mansion for a few days, she didn’t point out that she got used to it.

No. To be precise, Lucas seems quite satisfied with the mansion.

His protruding beard and rough skin were neatly tidied before he knew it, and his skin also became elastic and shiny.

The first look of Lucas, who appeared to be in his mid-30s, has changed to a look of someone in his late 20s, befitting his current age.

While I was immersed in thought while watching the number of people on the wagon that had grown so much,

Iris, who had been looking out of her window, broke her silence and opened her mouth.

“It snows more than I thought.”

At Iris’s words, everyone turned their heads and looked at the windows.

As she said, nothing could be seen outside because of the fierce snowstorm.

“With a snowstorm like this, I wonder if the horse will be able to make it to the ballroom.”

“It would be better to control the speed so that the horse does not collapse in the middle.”

I nodded at Iris’s words.

Then she turned her head and told the driver to slow down so the horse wouldn’t get tired.

“I used to walk around like this in a blizzard like this.”

“That’s because you, Penny, can do it. Other people can’t?”

When I said a word to Fenia, who spoke like an old man despite her young appearance, Allin, who was sitting across from her, suddenly opened her mouth.

“No. Lord. I can walk around without a coat in a blizzard like this.”

“Yes. Both of you are great.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

As if he liked my compliment, Aline gave a small smile.

And Fenia, who was watching the two of us like that, sighed briefly and raised her staff.

“Still, if we go at this speed, we will arrive later than last time.”

“Are you going to use teleport magic?”

Looking at Fenia, who is about to use her magic, I asked and Fenia shook her head.

“That’s not a bad way, but it’s still quite a distance from the prom, so that’s not okay.”

Then, as she swung her staff lightly, green magical energy rose from her staff.

The green magic reminiscent of a forest pierced the wagon and moved to the coachman’s place.

Iris, who was watching from her side, asked Fenia.

“What magic did you use?”

“I put a protective spell on the horses so they don’t get cold. Even if you speed up, you won’t fall over.”

“Wow. Can you use such magic?”

“Well, this level of magic is nothing.”

Iris admired Fenia for using her magic without changing her expression.

Then she carefully looks at her and asks her for one thing.

“Then can you make the inside of the wagon warmer as well?”

“Of course not. What do you see me as?”

Saying that, Fenia lightly swung her staff.

Then this time, red magic power rose up and began to permeate the inside of the wagon.

And after a while.

“Wow! The inside of the wagon is warm! As expected, Archmage Fenia’s magic is of a different level.”

“Praise for something insignificant.”

Fenia shook her head at Iris’ excessive praise, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised as if she liked Iris’s candid praise.

So I told the coachman that I could speed up without worry, and from then on the carriage moved toward the ballroom faster than before.

“Thanks to the heavy snow, we won’t have to meet bandits this time.”

“A bandit? Have you ever encountered a bandit?”

“Yes. I met a group of bandits on my way to the ballroom last year.”

“It must have been dangerous. Still, I think the Marquis would have been greatly relieved.”

“Even without me, Aline and Rayman took care of everything, so there was no damage.”

At my words, Iris looked at Aline with a small admiration.

Aline seems to be quite satisfied with that gaze, “mmm.” She coughed lightly and straightened her back.

“Still, monsters may appear in the middle, so don’t be too nervous.”

“Do monsters appear this winter too?”

“Because there are monsters that are active only in winter.”

I nodded slightly at Fenia’s words.

It was because I had caught monsters with Gilbert when I went to Chloe’s mansion in the north.

Remembering the situation in which monsters could appear, I made some preparations so that I could use magic at any time.

It was a time when everyone was a little nervous at Fenia’s words.

Heyying.

With the sound of horses neighing, the carriage on its way to the ballroom stopped for a moment.

“What happened?”

“A carriage is stopped in front. I think there was an accident, but let me check it out.”

I nodded, and the driver got out of the carriage and walked over to check the carriage in front.

And the coachman returned to the carriage after talking for a while to see if there was anyone in the carriage.

“The horse seems to have collapsed due to the snowstorm. The directions are the same, but what should I do?”

At the coachman’s words, I turned my head to see the reaction of the party.

“You can’t have them in the mountains in the middle of winter. I think it would be better to move to the center together.”

“I follow the lord’s choice.”

“I don’t care either. If you see something strange, you can subdue it right away.”

At the words of the three, I nodded and allowed them to accompany me.

After a while, the passenger in the carriage returned with the coachman.

Drreuk.

The door opened and the woman bowed her head and thanked us.

“My horse collapsed and I didn’t know what to do, but thank you for the ride.”

A woman with bobbed red hair, who looked pretty at first glance, entered the carriage.

“It’s okay. It must be cold, so come inside.”

“Thank you.”

The woman smiled awkwardly as she entered the carriage.

She was sitting right next to Penny.

While greeting each of the people sitting next to her, she met Fenia’s eyes and opened her mouth with a small admiration.

“Aren’t you, Archmage Fenia?”

“… That’s right.”

“Wow. I never dreamed that I would meet the Archmage in a place like this.”

“…… Okay.”

Is it uncomfortable to recognize yourself?

Fenia answered awkwardly to the woman she recognized herself.

The woman must also have sensed that Fenia was awkward with her, so she turned her head away from her Fenia and introduced herself.

“My name is Helena. I was moving to the center because I had a separate job, but it snowed more than I expected. Thanks again for your help.”

Everyone nodded her head at Helena’s introduction and she introduced herself by name.

“My name is Iris. She is the saint of Grace Temple.”

“This is Aline.”

“It’s a rail.”

I didn’t bother to give her last name because I thought it would make her uncomfortable if I told her that I was an aristocrat.

However,

“If it’s a rail, aren’t you the Marquis of the Violand family?”

“… Yes. You’re right.”

“Wow. Rumors abounded that he was kind to commoners, but the rumors were true. It’s an honor to meet you. Marquis Rail.”

I laughed bitterly.

She didn’t want to tell me that I was an aristocrat, but she immediately recognized who I was by my first name.

And she seemed to understand a little why Fenia was a little reluctant to react more than she expected.

“Besides, the person next to me is a saintess. Today is the first time I see the saintess up close like this.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a beautiful person.”

I looked at Helena, who was casually conversing with Iris.

She is a woman who looks like an ordinary commoner from her clothes.

But how many commoners can have a conversation like this naturally in front of the archmage, the saintess, and the marquis?

Besides, a woman alone and without an escort moved to the center.

She didn’t particularly feel her hostility towards her, but she didn’t let go of her tension in case she didn’t know.

It was at that time that I was watching Lucas, who was talking to Helena and her face was red.

“Everyone get ready. Something is coming this way.”

The wagon, which had been noisy at Fenia’s words, instantly became quiet.

And then, for a moment, I hear something coming down from the top of the mountain.

Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung.

I turned my head to look out the window, but it was still hard to see because of the blizzard.

Knock. Knock.

And then, when I heard a knock on the door outside the carriage and opened it, Rayman drew his sword and briefly explained the situation to me.

“Currently, a group of wolf monsters are running towards the carriage.”
