Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 38: Dinner

"Mr. Makina?

"I told Mia to come get me when you got back."

Mia, who refrains from obliquely backing Mr. Makina, bows her head with a pepper.

"Sorry for not informing you in advance"

"Oh, Mia won't apologize. I tried to surprise Crohiko, so I told Mia to keep her quiet."

Mr. Makina recommends taking a seat.

"Sit down, Crohiko."

I sat in her opposite seat.

In front of you is a line of appetizing dishes, such as boned meat and marinade-style fish dishes.

"You'll be hungry, so you can eat.... Well."

The next thing Mr. Makina came to mind was the look of labor.

"First of all, thank you for revealing the curse in the art class"

"Are you sure it was that one?

One breath down, answered Mr. Makina.

"There were several reasons why I tried to hide the existence of the curse. There were times when I considered your safety, and there were times when I wanted to keep it as a hidden ball to achieve my purpose. And then..."

Slightly self-derisive, Mr. Makina broke his mouth.

"I thought it would be easier to plunder other spell documents that are known to be located from their owners."

"Other curses......"

I was wondering if there would be any other curses as opposed to the "Ninth" curse.

…………

At least, there are eight others.

"There are four things we know now at the location of the other curse documents for the curse. By the way, I tried to gather information again yesterday and today, but I didn't have any new information."

Mr. Makina made me stand four fingers.

"One is owned by the military god, Louvel Argan"

First, my index finger was closed.

"Then, two for the Guntarios Empire"

Next, the middle and drug fingers were closed simultaneously.

"One of them... doesn't seem to be managed by the Empire though"

With that said, my pinky finger closes at the end.

"And the other one seems to be owned by one of the top three organizations in the end-of-life town."

When I finished saying it, the school director gently put his little fist on the table.

"To try to get it, well, they're all the people who do the tricks."

Northeast of the continent - Located north of the Renounced Thread, the military god country of Louvel Argan.

The Guntarios Empire, a Western power with half the continent on its territory.

Both are the names of the countries that came out of their upbringing classes.

So, that's where you end up...

"Besides... even if the presence of the curse man is not in the bright light, if you put in some information that I am collecting curse documents for the curse, both the Empire and Louvel Argan will see that there is something."

If you intend to collect in secret, you will still see that difficulty jump when you are outside the country.

Mr. Makina flaunts his shoulder.

"Above all, in order to hide that there is a curse inhibitor, you carry out a holy ruin attack with restrictions on the use of the curse, because... At a time when the sacrament could not be handled in the first place, the lines of the original" Unusual Spells "became impossible, too."

The school director puts his arms together on the table.

"Though, by the way, its sacred ruins"

The look is a little harsh.

"You've already gone on offense?

Grr.

"... Yes"

"I thought I was going to Clarice's... that was my misreading."

I'll shrink and give it back.

"To Mr. Clarice... I thought I'd go tomorrow"

Feelingly, I don't know because Mr. Currier was a priority in everything......

There are many things to reflect on about your actions.

"I ask you for once... any gear or tools?

As I weaved my self-restraint, Mr. Makina dropped her shoulder with a shuddering face.

"Totally...... well, I seem to be reflecting, so I'll just spare you the death penalty"

"If you hadn't reflected, would it have been the death penalty!?

"Yep... as a man"

"Be a man!?

"Better than that"

Flushed my doubts with a light 'more than that' and Mr. Makina continued.

"You refused to invite Miss Cecily to the offensive squad?

"You know what?

Sighing, Ms. Makina stuck her forehead over her assembled hand.

"... you know what, this story is already pretty widespread in school, right? By noon tomorrow, the humans in the school will know, won't they? Honestly, I think I'm about to get rid of the" curse injunction. "

"Oh, really?

"I can't believe there's a person who refuses to accept an invitation from Cecily Arklite even though she deserves to be stunned... she's not surprised."

From beyond the hand you put together, only the top half of Mr. Makina's face appears sneaky.

Half-eyed, staring at me.

"I'll ask you frankly. Why, did you say no?

…………

Let's be clear here.

"... there was someone else I wanted to put together."

"Can I have one?

"Yes."

"Shouldn't you have asked Miss Cecily to join her offensive squad?

"No...... I think that was difficult"

For once, I didn't think about it.

However, the fact that Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily are going to form a friendly offensive squad right now... after all, I find it difficult.

When I think of that after-school exchange, I really do.

"Yes... so the student is more attractive than Miss Cecily?

"Attractive......? Um, well, how do I answer..."

"... that student, may I ask your name?

"Currier Verstein, a student called

Mr. Makina's eyebrows moved.

"... women?

"Huh? Yes..."

"Hmm...... the child, the beauty?

Is it important if you're beautiful or not?

and the school director woke up in an unsatisfactory condition and deposited his weight on his back.

"Okay... so can I see it as a pretty good arm to do with that Currier Verstein? Oh, my God, is that enough to make you refuse an invitation from Miss Cecily?

"Maybe he's strong."

"That's a very vague expression."

I don't know exactly how powerful Mr. Currier is.

Maybe stronger than Mr. Cecily.

But...

"But I'm a very dependable person"

"... yes"

Incidentally, Mr. Currier's "Statement from the Sixth House" does not seem to have been passed on to the school director.

Or maybe no one seriously thinks Currier Verstein is from the Sixth House.

I don't have any evidence of this.

But I... I'm wondering if it's real.

Somehow, though.

Mr. Makina said, staring at the table.

"I was planning on hitting your hands on your safety, including on the Holy Ruins Attack Squad... but apparently the Attack Squad doesn't need me to move"

The school director said he was going to hit me with something.

There's nothing wrong with everything...... the school director has such a sense of security.

Most importantly, it was a pleasure to distract you that way.

Even if the reason for doing so was for the "curse man" instead of "me".

And that's where Mr. Makina noticed something.

"Oh, I'm sorry...... you've focused a little too much on the story. Here you go. Eat it."

Speaking of which, as soon as I held the fork, I didn't have my hands on the dish.

"So, I'll have it"

I carry the food to my mouth, as I am advised.

... delicious.

Mr. Machina also begins to get his hands on the dish, with a small amount.

The way I ate it, I knew it had elegance.

And when the dish was about 80% cleared (which I almost tucked in my stomach), Machina, who finished wiping her mouth with cloth napkins, cut it out.

"So, how did it feel to finish my first day again?

Ha, and I laugh bitterly.

"It felt like getting to know the school and trying to get used to it..."

"Yes."

…………

Somehow, I was silent.

Something, something to talk about...!

Oh, yeah.

"Um, Mr. Makina. By the way, what?"

"Oh, can I help you?

"Weren't there any vacant men's quarters?

"I couldn't do anything about it... but in the men's quarters, I wouldn't be able to get to the night like this, would I? Besides... if the school director were to visit the curse he found himself, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable with me going here."

"Huh."

"Then again, don't worry, I have measures in place for your safety.... Mia"

Mia, who had refrained, replies by being called by name.

"Yes."

"You can lower the food now. Please clean up after me. When you're done, you can take the rest of the day off."

I lifted my hips.

"Oh, I'll help you with anything."

"I haven't finished talking to you yet. Leave it to Mia."

Mr. Machina told me to get back to my seat.

"Yes......"

And Mia grinned at me and gently interpreted.

The expression was' Go ahead, I won't take care of it later '.
