258 – I’ll take care of it, someone will take care of it

When ‘magic’ first appeared in this land.

Where did people try to use that magic?

In real life? No way. How can humans be so pure?

The beginning may have been to pursue simple convenience.

The reason why it reached its peak was that it could eventually be used as a ‘weapon’.

The first to develop magic was large-scale attack magic.

Next, movement magic represented by the space movement magic circle.

How, how, and what kind of weapons can I use anything?

Everything that appears in the world receives such troubles once in a while.

And most of them will be used as weapons at least once.

Even if it stays only for a short time and then disappears.

If you don’t prepare for the first time, you can’t stand it because you’re anxious.

So, next to research that can be used for offense, research that can be used for defense purposes.

The newly fashionable witchcraft was the same.

It is true that people’s beliefs can lead to positive results.

But the first thing the empire ordered was when magic was used as a ‘weapon’.

It was a composition of barrier magic that could perfectly defend at that moment.

“Difficult, difficult….”

Today as well, Tisha was struggling with her witchcraft research.

Her research, which she had done so far, was only for new spells.

A way to reach a more useful place, in an easier way.

A way for people to treat witchcraft as friendly as magic.

‘But it’s different now. Now….’

The imperial family is supporting witchcraft itself, and the Grand Duchess of Bayen is funding it.

The first thing they needed to solve was a countermeasure against the weaponization of witchcraft.

It was sad. I haven’t even started yet, I haven’t even gotten my feet off the ground.

Aren’t they worried about the most disastrous and sad things?

However, their concerns cannot be called groundless.

Right now, Tisha herself vaguely acknowledged it.

If magic were to be used as a weapon, it would be very embarrassing.

It is not something that can be dealt with as counter-magic like magic.

The sorcery has already been completed and spreads slowly at the right time.

In a good way, it is like incense, and in a bad way, it is like poison.

The moment you recognize it, it is already too late. It is said that it is already after entering the body.

“Haaa….”

For almost five hours, I was holding on to magic without moving.

I also think that Kyle would be very sorry if he found out about this.

I couldn’t increase my exercise time because I couldn’t find time.

‘It’s a miracle that I can maintain my current routine at least.’

I am grateful to Kyle once again. She currently lives a life she wouldn’t have been able to make if it wasn’t for her stamina.

Perhaps the daily life of falling asleep on the bed would have continued.

“Wow!”

Rising her stubby body, Tisha went outside to get some fresh air.

It seems like it was afternoon just a moment ago, but it’s already dinner time.

The sun had already set, and only the moon and stars twinkled in the darkened sky.

‘Did I like it too much? I didn’t know it would be this hard.’

When the grand dukes and the imperial family formally accepted witchcraft.

Tisha was really happy. She seemed to have finally gotten her own hard work recognized.

But after some time, I realized that this wasn’t just about joy.

To officially go out into the world means to experience good and evil intentions at the same time.

How much damage can be expected if this sorcery is done purely out of malice?

What are the countermeasures to prevent such a thing from happening, etc.

There were all sorts of problems that Tisha hadn’t even thought of.

“Is something difficult?”

Then, all of a sudden, Tisha turned her body around at the very welcome voice.

“Kyle?!”

As soon as she saw Kyle, Tisha ran straight to him.

She then rubbed her face against her chest as she lay in her arms.

“Kyle, Kyle. I’m having a hard time. So much to do….”

“I heard the news. Listen to all the lectures, and study witchcraft there.”

“And I also work out so that Kyle doesn’t disappoint.”

It’s a murderous schedule even just listening to it. Oh, and a sigh comes out of nowhere.

I think it would be very tiring just to study witchcraft.

The academy is still before vacation. I even have to take final exams sooner or later.

In other words, Tisha is researching witchcraft that would frighten ordinary people.

She was there and she was also studying to listen to lectures at the academy.

‘Really, I must be very tired.’

Fortunately, Tisha has developed a lot of her stamina.

A person with weak stamina is simply ruined by sitting down.

Nevertheless, being tired is being tired, and being tired is being tired.

So Kyle held Tisha in her arms and waited patiently for her.

So that she can fully heal and recover in my arms.

“Did you come to see me?”

After a while, as if she had finished healing, Tisha smiled and lifted her head.

She looks a bit tired, but she still looks beautiful.

“Of course. If not you, why would I come here?”

She caresses her cheek and responds in a soft tone.

Now I don’t have to think about other women, and it doesn’t matter if I approach them.

Thanks to that, Kyle was much more comfortable expressing her feelings than before.

“More than that, it’s surprising.”

“Yes?”

“I thought Tisha would be very happy to hear about witchcraft research.”

“Ah, ah.”

Tisha nods her head in understanding.

She then smiled bitterly and explained what she had done.

If it was a pure study of witchcraft, it might have been.

However, the research I am currently in charge of is preparing for the weaponization of witchcraft.

It’s not that I don’t understand. Rather, when I heard it, I realized it desperately.

Humans, after all, consider wielding them as weapons in any way.

This is a necessary step to prevent a catastrophe.

“… I understand that. The need is also desperate. However, it’s so different from what I’ve been doing before, so I can’t help but feel a little tired.”

“I understand. Tisha must be having a hard time. Because you always worked hard, thinking only of the good side and the goodwill of people.”

I hug Tisha again and pat her on the back lightly.

What we need right now is not advice, not suggestions, just simple support.

You don’t have to do anything other than that. Just doing it right is enough.

“Stop talking about work. We talk differently.”

“Is that so?”

“I heard the news. Father… Oh that. The baron.”

“Call me father. The saintess has already called me that.”

“Ah….”

In an instant, Tisha’s face began to turn red.

Kyle’s words that she can call her father must have sounded like this to Tisha.

We’re about to get married anyway, so that’s how it’s called! Called.

“Kuhm! That then! My father went to the south.”

“Did you hear people from other continents appeared?”

“Yes. I know that the people over there are fascinated by the magic and sorcery here.”

Kyle nodded and told me in detail what had happened.

In addition to magic, the world across the sea has made great progress in terms of technology.

There, Baron John Nassen saw the possibility of a new overload exercise equipment.

That’s why he asked those who returned to their hometowns to do so.

“… Ah, me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Kyle? Then, to see the exercise equipment, my father….”

“You say you want to go there yourself. Nothing to worry about. It takes less than a month to come and go.”

“No, that’s not the point.”

“So what?”

It’s not even within reach of your nose if you fall over.

Didn’t the people of that world with such tremendous technology say it took several months?

By the way, it took less than a month to make a round trip, not one way.

Again, who is he dating, and who is he trying to marry?

And it was the moment when I realized what kind of people I was marrying into.

“Did all the people there go back then?”

“Not all of them. More than half of them decided to stay here.”

“How? I heard everyone was anxious to go back.”

“Because the saintess persuaded me. It’s too dangerous.”

“Aha!”

To be precise, the misunderstanding caused by the baron overlapped with the saintess’ persuasion.

He was Kyle, who thought it was unnecessary to mention that part.

“Rather than that, Tisha. There will be final exams soon.”

“Ugh… She doesn’t have to stress that much.”

“I don’t mean that. Im not tired? I want you to take it easy.”

“Ah… But I have a lot of work. It’s not something you do bare-mouthed, but you have to be diligent.”

The imperial family and the Grand Duchess of Bayen are pushing the spell properly.

Wouldn’t it be right to live up to those expectations?

But Kyle was the one who thought she couldn’t do enough for now.

“It’s okay, so do it in moderation. No, let’s quit today and go see the night view with me.”

“Yes? Uh, but I need to finish this week….”

“Who asked you?”

“This is what His Excellency Archduke Baien asked for.”

“Wait a minute.”

After saying that, it was Kyle who suddenly pulled out the magic communication tool.

Could it be Tisha? While looking at her with a kind gaze, she has already reached the point of contact.

[ Prince Kyle? ]

“It’s been a while, Your Excellency Archduke Bayen. This is our first contact since the last imperial banquet.”

[ I see. What happened all of a sudden ]

“Tisha is not working overtime today. And let me rest tomorrow.”

[ … Uh? ]

“Do you like it?”

A very rude conversation in front of only three grand dukes.

But the problem was, Kyle was the only youngest of John Nassen.

[ Oh, that. Do as you please. ]

“You mean it’s okay?”

[ Don’t be. ]

“There is no profit or loss later.”

[ … Let me fill this out on my own. ]

I don’t know anything else, but Archduke Bayen is thorough even to the emperor when it comes to calculating profit and loss.

But this time, even the Archduke of Bayen took a step back.
