Reincarnated into an Otome Game? Who Cares! I'm Too Busy Mastering Magic!

Abel prompted me to look at it, and I could see the shore in the fog.

Before long, the skeleton head wearing the robe entered the movement to stop the ship, and the ship was laid horizontally on the pier.

"... you've arrived."

Yeah.

Nervous me and Mr. Abel.

The ship's head slowly turned back to see if it should get off for the time being.

Then he bowed── deeply and pointed at the pier with one hand.

It was just like Alphonse, the Marquis's butler.

It wasn't like that the first time I picked you up.

Probably, it was recognized as an opponent to serve because it exceeded the trials of dreams.

Passing beside the bow in surprise.

There was a rock wall deep into the shore where the artificial stone staircase opened its mouth.

Looking back somehow, the skeleton head was like a statue in a standby position with its body facing here and its hands on its chest.

After all, I can see a respectful attitude somewhere.

As I went up the stairs alongside Mr. Abel, a straight passage appeared after a while.

Along with that, the sound of water suddenly turned around... the stairs were gone.

It was a wall that was completely broken off.

I touched the wall, but I couldn't get through. It didn't seem to be a trick.

”... it feels like I can't get out of here when I get back?”

"Wait a minute."

Mr. Abel pounds the wall with his ears.

After repeating it for a while, he shook his head to the side.

“I don't think there's a cavity out there. It must have been transferred in the same way as when you entered."

"Transfers...! Hmm, I'm worried about the principle...!"

I want you to tell me if you have such an event. When I entered the labyrinth, it felt like I had noticed, and I could not observe any precious ancient magic.

If I got a hint, maybe there were signs of water flowing twice.

I checked for a while to see if there was a way to get in, but unlike in the labyrinth, there were just white walls without any clues. Maybe there were spells and magic circles in the Imperial family.

In that case, we'd better think of a different route to escape.

Well, we've arrived here… Is it the waterway again?

Yeah, but it's pretty well-equipped.

While saying that, I proceeded with caution.

Unlike the cavernous aqueduct when I arrived, it was a beautiful aqueduct carefully made of white stone.

If you go towards the direction where you can see the light slightly, you will know where it is.

I thought about the possibility of people and interacted in a whisper.

"Wells... wells in the castle"

“Yeah, from the decorations on the top, it might be for the royal family.”

Yes, apparently, it was in the castle... it looked like the bottom of a well reserved for nobles.

When I read about the castle, I remember reading something like that.

Apart from the domestic water drawn from the river, the castle is often equipped with a well that secures drinking water when the castle is attacked, known as the lifeline.

Water magic can also produce water, but even though humans live... there are few magicians who can produce the amount of water a group needs to live every day.

It wouldn't be strange if there were a well in the castle.

The round well is made of white marble and is spotless. If you look up, the golden ornaments are on the edge.

There's no sign of anyone, but I'm sure it's in the castle because I can see the ceiling.

I reactivated the concealed collar and summoned the flying gear quietly with Zayn.

It's going up slowly.

Yes.

Flutteringly, it levitates without a sound.

I gently raised my head from the edge of the well and saw two guards standing at the entrance.

There is no door, just a luxurious arched entrance.

Confirm that it can be slipped through with a flying gear, and quickly walk through the line with Mr. Abel.

Perhaps the guards reacted to the sound of the slightly standing wind, but they stopped in a restored position because they thought it was their imagination.

With a sigh of relief, she went straight to the corner of the corridor, and went out into an unoccupied place.

"You did it...!"

Abel also nodded as he whispered his guts.

Get off the flying gear and check the surroundings.

It was a luxuriously decorated hallway, but I didn't see much use for this well section.

We'll start exploring to see which sector we're in.

... but.

"Hey, you're not showing it to me!?"

Suddenly, I heard a golden scream that seemed to belong to the girl, and my shoulder jumped.

She hurriedly leaned over to the wall and peered into the corridor where she could hear her voice.

The voice belonged to a young lady in a sumptuous purple dress.

I have an adult knight with me, and I'm stuck with the well guard we came out of.

"Ah, Amaliah, but do not let anyone approach this well."

So what?

"Huh!? No, that's why."

"I'm saying I want to see it." If you don't listen to me, I'll tell Gabriela-sama!? "

I'm surprised by the name that popped up.

That girl Amalia, who looks my age, seems to be one of Gabriela's surroundings. The name sounds familiar to me when I'm told.

I feel like I was also at a tea party that was held to bully me... In other words, I feel that people once seemed to be having fun.

But what the hell are you doing here?

I thought so, but Amarya herself cried out to me.

"Am I a friend of Lord Gabriela's?" In other words, you're a friend of the next Empress! And yet you don't want me to hide Gabriela from you... I don't think so! Move as fast as you can! "

"Ah, um, but... I'm not here."

I'll check it out!

Apparently, Amalia was close to Gabriela.

Nowadays, Gabriela's living base is nominally this castle. He must have come there to play.

But... we probably didn't see each other. That's why I'm rushing around with my knight.

There is only one reason why I should try to get to Gabriela.

Isn't that daughter Amalia behind all this?

Mr. Abel frowned and whispered. I agree.

I entered the castle on my own, probably because I was the daughter of the top house in the Edmund faction.

Besides, if Gabriela likes it, Diamanteclass is a rock.

"But..."

If Gabriela were to hide, she would be quite wobbly about her position at school.

I guess I was in a hurry when my selfish behavior started.

And Amaliah was driven away by the guard, and he was angry, and departed, that he might be carried away by the knight of his servants.

After Amariya-sama was completely out of sight, the guard sighed heavily, "Hah..."

Speak to the other guard with a dazed look on his face.

Damn, this is the third case. I don't understand.

Apparently, the gardeners are also being asked to take a tour.

"Really? You licked me... well, I usually get permission to visit, but I can't right now." In the first place, you can't get that close to the imperial well. "

"If I get a scratch, my neck will really fly."

Haa, and the guard sighed synchronously.

Looks like the children of Gabriela's Faction are frequenting the castle.

The Edmund faction should be able to climb the castle relatively easily using connections.

But it was strange.

Gabriela is rumored to be the next Empress, so why are the faction atmospheres so rattled so quickly?

Besides, why did the parents allow her to wander around like this, no matter how close she was to Gabriela?

Abel opened his mouth, thinking that he was tilting his neck.

"Isn't my parents deliberately sending me to the castle?" We need to find Gabriela. "

"Ah... I see. Some in the Edmund faction are questioning Gabriela's cover."

However, from the perspective of wanting to go undercover... this situation is quite delicious, isn't it?

I looked up at Mr. Abel with a smile.

Abel-san, let's unlock the hiding place and disguise ourselves.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

“Even if there is a young nobleman's daughter wandering around the castle now, it seems that if she pretends to be a member of the Edmund faction, she will be told, 'Again'. Now that there's one more...... right?"

"...... That's right, but you just want to try a magic tool that inhibits recognition."

"Giggle"

The contents of the shaver are about the point of grunting in my mouth.

Anyway, Abel and I decided to change our appearance and listen.
