Episode 150
Sometimes, there are rather anxious days because nothing happens.
In the case of Viscount Nostra, that was the case today.
“…hmm.”
Why?
Through the window, he admired the scenery of the estate as usual.
It’s obviously nothing different from usual, but why?
this subtle ominousness.
‘It’s okay.’
Viscount Nostra repeated it several times while breaking out in a cold sweat.
‘After that day, I was born anew! He too… …I didn’t do anything to trouble Master Su… …!’
Viscount Nostra recalled the memories so far.
It was truly a time of tears.
Falling into the 5th circle in an instant, he struggled to raise his level somehow.
The circle has stabilized, but it is also true that the realm has been lowered that much.
As long as he became a 5th Circle wizard, he couldn’t even hope for the same kind of treatment as in the past.
I really did my best to die.
Even so, the lack of talent was not filled or the level suddenly rose… ….
It was fun nonetheless.
As a result, I couldn’t reach the goal of circle 7, but I was able to reach a stable circle 6.
2 years.
No matter what anyone says, it was a very precious time for him.
Even if not as much as the target.
In any case, he reached the level of the 6th circle through the right path.
It was confirmed that the 7th circle was not an impossible stage.
Everything would have been impossible without the help of that ‘teacher’.
It’s definitely something to be thankful for.
It’s something I’m very grateful for… ….
‘Why do I get goosebumps before thinking of being grateful?’
Just as a rabbit at the bottom of the food chain thinks of a predator, he still couldn’t escape the cold sensation.
And I always wished for it every morning.
‘please…Please don’t come back!’
From what I hear, it seems that he has become a hero and is busy traveling around to perform a lot of activities.
Perhaps that is why he is not returning to his family.
I was very fortunate.
Being grateful is being grateful.
The fear deeply imprinted on the body is another matter.
I really didn’t expect to be beaten like that at my age.
“Oh God. Please give me a peaceful day today… …Viscount Nostra stood up while repeating the prayer he had been praying for recently
.
done.
It seemed odd for a wizard to pray to God, but it didn’t matter.
According to the routine up until now, after praying like this, a peaceful day always continued.
‘First of all, finish the overdue research and then go to the search for the magic book related to the 7th circle… …’
Viscount Nostra thought so and headed to the lab where the research materials were piled up.
As I walked down the long hallway, I enjoyed the cool breeze and the chirping of birds beyond the window.
Ah, the best of peace.
and….
“It’s been a while, disciple!”
“….”
Oh, what hallucinations do you hear again?
On his way to the lab, he stopped and dug his ears.
It seems that his mind has been weakened by the impatience of wanting to climb to the 7th circle recently.
‘Eh, I should take a restorative medicine or something.’
After all, isn’t it the age to start worrying about your health?
The original health is how to take care of it before it’s too late.
Tonight, I moved with the thought of looking for medicine.
but.
“Hey disciple! Are you avoiding me now?”
I hear this damn hallucination again.
He unconsciously crossed himself in a cold sweat.
‘Hekau Almighty, protect me with eternal light. Almighty Hekaus, into eternal light… …’
“Give up.”
“ah.”
But there seems to be no light.
Looking at the hand holding his shoulder, he slowly prepared his mind.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
Mikhail Walpurgis.
A young master and a hero of the family he belongs to… ….
“Master Su…?”
“OK.”
I struggled to hold on to my spirit, which seemed like I was about to fall asleep, and finally smiled.
“W What are you doing here…“
Hmm, is this four?”
“…yes?”
Mikhail said with a meaningful smile without answering Viscount Nostra’s words.
four with this.
What the hell does that mean?
Looking behind Mikhail, the butler and Princess Lindel, the next-generation swordsman, were standing there with crumpled faces.
‘what.’
Why is my heart so anxious?
Viscount Nostra asked cautiously, feeling a cold sweat flowing on his own.
“What are you here for?”
“What are you doing?”
Mikhail laughed.
Surprisingly, the smile resembled the one he had when the bet was offered to him that day.
“I was thinking of doing some light rebellion against my father after a long time.”
“Ah ah…”
At that moment, he had a hunch.
Oh you’re tired
* * *
Mikhail got his fourth Meat Shield (Viscount Nostra)!
My father is the Great Mage of the 8th Circle.
It’s not just the 8th circle, it’s an existence with the title of ‘strongest’.
What if you deal with such a father?
‘Even now, it’s hard to guarantee a match.’
It’s different from when you’re dealing with the devil.
In the case of the devil, as a ‘hero’, he clearly has the power of the opposite, so it is possible for me to overwhelm him.
However, the story is different if the opponent is a pure human without even 1% of demonic ingredients.
If my father is determined and rushes in to beat me, it will certainly not be easy to defend.
but.
‘It’s different if I push through the pages.’
That’s what it’s like when I’m dealing with my father alone, and if about four more cling to it, the story changes.
Of course, it would mean nothing if there were four young people, but it would be different if there were four people at this level.
“Hey, walking like this reminds me of the old days, disciple.”
“Yeah, what an old idea…”
It’s a memory of doing a trick that didn’t even come to mind and then hitting it backwards.
But saying this outright is a sewage thing to do.
I quietly looked at Viscount Nostra.
“You should remember.”
“…reminds me of a bird yes.”
“Aren’t you doing some tricks these days? Doing politics that is not even funny for no reason… …”
“Oh no!”
Viscount Nostra waved his hand and denied my words desperately.
“Politics! It’s been a while since I’ve said goodbye to such petty acts! I am a new born!”
“I don’t think so.”
“No, it’s real! If you ask the apprentice wizards working under me, they will know right away!”
Viscount Nostra proudly shouted.
“…An apprentice wizard?”
“Yes, there are a lot of research topics being prepared lately, so I almost live in the lab…“
I think I overheard it.
In some land, such apprentice wizards are called graduate students and carry a tragic bond.
It is a tragedy brought about by the times.
‘Let’s pay our respects.’
My condolences to the apprentices who are going out today for the future of magic… ….
whatever
Actually, although he said this, he was well aware of the fact that Viscount Nostra did not do anything useless.
‘Among the reports and received, there was nothing particularly special.’
In order to trust people, you need more evidence than you think.
Especially in the case of Viscount Nostra, more grounds are needed.
There was nothing particularly problematic about the information delivered to Hados.
As he said, it is true that he was only concentrating on research.
“Have you given up your greed now?”
“I don’t know.”
Viscount Nostra smiled bitterly.
“I still want to be in the 7th circle. If that’s greed, it’s greed. However, as before, if there is a greed for power… …”
“Isn’t that another?”
“When I try to think of this, like a ghost, Master’s fist comes to mind first… …Even as Nostra
said that, she trembled as if she recalled the memory.
“Hmm, a desirable change.”
“…Ah yes.”
‘Two years. It’s not short.’
Two years is enough time to change if you have the will.
The atrocities committed by Viscount Nostra before returning are still vivid in my mind.
Clearly, they were unforgivable betrayals.
I shouldn’t have been obsessed with that memory.
Then, it is no different from a small man caught in a delusion.
Viscount Nostra before the return and the current Viscount Nostra cannot be regarded as the same. That’s not even possible.
then.
“Viscount Nostra.”
“You say yes.”
Viscount Nostra straightened up and prepared to listen to my answer.
“Talk to your father.”
“…yes?”
“He seems to be helping the family with his family’s work and focusing on research, but haven’t you ever had a proper conversation with your father?”
“that…”
Viscount Nostra was speechless.
Because it’s true.
It is not simply because he is uncomfortable with his father.
If Viscount Nostra really wanted to rehabilitate, he would have been embarrassed.
The times when he was hostile to his father must have made it difficult for him to approach him.
“My father is radical, but he is quite complex. It’s not like I’m going to make a mess like in the past.”
“….”
“There must have been a time when you were with your father without calculation. I want you to remember that time.”
At my words, Nostra looked at me with a tingling expression as if she had been hit somewhere.
“…To be honest, I didn’t expect you to say that.”
“It’s important to me.”
Strictly speaking, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Viscount Nostra’s inferiority complex all started there.
“Of course, that is only possible if we finish this job first.”
“Looking at it for a second, what did you say you were doing? …?”
“You said it earlier. Do some light rebellion.”
“So what the heck is that light rebellion…”
“Lemegeton.”
At that moment, Viscount Nostra’s face turned blue.
“Uh oh oh boy…Oh no Master? Les Lemegeton?”
“Oh right.”
“Are you saying that knowing how the Marquis would react? Lemegeton is… …!”
“Yeah, it’s the opposite.”
aka seizure button.
I had explained that to the other three before, until they got tired of it.
Viscount Nostra shook his head and said.
“Stop it. There’s no way His Excellency would allow it anyway. If you wait anyway, it will naturally become Master’s.”
“That’s right.”
Because the owner of Walpurgis has the right to read Remegeton.
Even if you stay still, if you inherit the family, you will also receive the right to read Remegeton.
but.
“But don’t you have time?”
“No, it’s not that kind of problem, it’s just a matter of viewing rights! In the first place, you wouldn’t forcefully break the barrier protecting Remegeton… …ah.”
At that moment, Viscount Nostra’s expression turned white.
He had a rough idea of what I was trying to do.
“You can’t stand…!”
“Oh, that’s what you think. I will forcibly break through the barrier and read it.”
I know my father well.
As long as there is even a 1 chance that I will be eaten by Remegeton, my father will never allow me to read Remegeton.
But when was I a good son who only acted according to his father’s thoughts?
Of course, if necessary, you should read Lemegeton even after forcibly breaking the barrier.
“Until then, who’s stopping you!”
“You guys who have followed me now.”
I pointed to each of the four people who had followed me and said.
“Because my father will feel the moment I tear the barrier and read Remegeton, right? Then what are you guys going to do?”
“Hey, wait a minute! Youngster!”
“Until then, you guys block my father instead.”
I smiled at the embarrassingly distorted faces of the four.
“okay?”
“Fuck it.”
Ryan raised his middle finger.
yes this is a colleague
Great mage who transcends by regression
