Knock-Knock ……

“Who is it? You can come in.”

“Excuse me. Headmaster.”

“Oh, Tigre-sensei. I’m surprised to see you here. How is the Holy Knight’s club?”

The headmaster of Oblivion Academy, Libre, welcomed Tigre into the room. On the other hand, Tigre, with a sullen look on his face, lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“Headmaster, I have received this consultation from a student in my class–“

“Hmm ……?”

When Tigre told the headmaster what he had heard from Ryuuze, Libre also frowned with a scowl. He knew about Brao because it was a town with a lord, but he didn’t know much about him except that he was arrogant.

The fact that such a lord had almost killed the son of the previous lord, and had also snatched his property, came as a great shock.

“…… It must be hard for Ryuuze-kun.”

“Yes. I’m afraid he’s going to break down mentally, not just physically.”

“Right …… However, in this academy, there are no barriers between nobles and commoners, but it’s hard to move when the issue is related to family and crime.”

“That’s true. I came here because I was wondering if the headmaster could help me out with something. I’m worried that Lars, the son of the former lord, might do something too.”

Tigre said this to Libre with a serious face, and Libre pondered with a difficult face. Children can be very emotional, so we have to be very careful with them. The problem at hand is the monitoring of Lars, who knows what’s going on, and the care of Ryuuze.

“What did Ryuuze-kun say about his father?”

“He said that he could not tolerate Brao-san’s dishonesty. He was baffled that he will lose his current life, but he was more hurt by the fact that he tried to kill his friend Lars’ brother.”

“I see.”

As Libre put his hand on his chin and began to think, his eyes fell on the calendar in his hand.

“Next month is the harvest festival. The king and the prince will be in town this year for a pep talk.”

“Now that I think about it, that’s right. I bow my head to the king for coming to inspect the town where each of the lords is located every year. Then again, this problem is even heavier ……”

When Tigre crosses his arms, Libre squints at the calendar.

“…… I see …… a dinner will be held …… In there…… collaborators and witnesses …… evidence if possible ……”

“Headmaster?”

“Tigre-sensei, I’ll take care of this case. Will you keep an eye on Lars-kun and Ryuuze-kun for me?”

“Of course, but have you come up with something?”

“It’s a matter of luck, but we may be able to settle this at the harvest festival next month. It’s a matter of family and politics, so originally, the academy can’t really act on it. We need to proceed with caution, though.”

With a stern look on his face and his hands clasped in front of his face, Libre expressed his thoughts to Tigre.

◆   ◇   ◆  

–A few days after the incident at the hospital.

I’ve been trying to figure out where to start while living my life as normal.

It’s hard to stick to the hospital behind my brother and Nora’s back, and I’m also busy with guild work. Also, I’ve narrowed down my goals, but I don’t what I should do. There’s also the possibility that someone else might be working with Brao.

The doctor is suspicious, but even if I use invisible magic to hide and break in, my magic power will only last about an hour ……

Ancient magic, especially invisible takes a lot of magic power. I don’t know if it’s a recoil to the fact that I can do whatever I want with this crazy magic that makes me disappear?

Anyway, I want to check out that house. My intuition tells me that there must be another side to Retzel. Then I remembered a word that came to mind.

“Oh, by the way, didn’t Luciela and Ryuuze mention that Brao was at the hospital? Aiming at that time, If I follow Brao, I might be able to find out something, I guess?”

…… Yeah, this could be a good idea.

If they are in cahoots, even if it is a true medical examination, there is hope that they will reveal something.

But the problem at hand is ……

“What shall I say tomorrow when I’m alone ……?”

I had to escape from my classmates and Tigre-sensei. Makina’s not a problem because she has her club activities, but Kuderica invited me to join her at the guild and my brother and Nora wanted to play with me, so I couldn’t ignore them and I couldn’t leave them alone.

The teacher would often stop me on my way home or follow me to the guild to make small talk. So, I don’t have much time to be alone.

But now that the guideline has been decided, I need to get away from them.

So after school, I picked up my bag and used my magic.

“Invisible.”

“H-Huh!? Lars-kun’s not here!?”

“It’s true. No bag either.”

Despite the time limit, I knew it was the only way to get out of the class, so I used the Invisible to walk along the wall.

“Ow!? Urla, be careful, okay?”

“Eh, what? I’m right here, though.”

“What? I think I just bumped into someone ……”

…… I was walking along watching Nora and the others when I bumped into Jack. Just as I was leaving the class, my brother and Luciela walked in and passed me. I’m sorry, brother.

“What? Where’s Lars? I don’t see Ryuuze either.”

“Hmm. He’s not here when I noticed. Guild, I guess? Let’s find out, Dedite-kun.”

“Yeah, I’m getting interested in the guild too.”

Alright, I ran to the Lord’s mansion, which was in a different direction from the guild, and when I left the academy, I deactivated my magic and went to watch Brao.

“……!?”

On the way, I saw the father-son, Brao and Ryuuze on a carriage passing by me. I’m sure of it, because I made eye contact with Ryuuze.

“Maybe I’m lucky ……!”

Judging from the direction it’s heading, It’s probably the hospital. I started to run after the carriage. It’s not too far from here to the hospital, so I get there quickly and see the carriage parked in front of the hospital with two people getting out.

“…… This is great for the first day …… Well, with the amount of magic I have, I won’t be able to last very long, so–“

I was watching from a corner and was astonished. It was because someone unexpectedly showed up here.

“Oh, what a coincidence, Brao-san.”

“Y-You’re the …… homeroom teacher ……!?”

Yes, Tigre-sensei had called out to Burao just before he entered the hospital.

Will it be a rapid development? Will Lars be able to get rid of Brao?

Thank you for reading!
