As soon as Oz finished speaking, he left. And Ula looked at his back as he left with a stiff expression and muttered timidly.

“We are not an errand center, really… … .”

They are not all-round businessmen who arrange information-gathering spy offices or magic tool makers, but Oz seemed to think so.

Ula frowned at Alexios, who was just nodding his head stupidly at Oz’s nagging.

“Why were you still? As usual, you should have grabbed him by the collar and had a big fight!”

“Are you arguing with me now?”

“Eh, ah, that’s not it~ But I was wondering if you could tell me why it happened between us.”

Ulla is an agent specializing in surveillance even among ＜Tenebris＞.

That is why I have approached the main characters of ＜Skientia＞. And she caught them all. It was something to hurt my pride, but I didn’t want to do it because the opponent was my opponent.

“… … I thought about it before, but you seem to have a swollen liver.”

“No, can I just take care of you? You are one of the most human beings I have ever seen.”

And as Ula, who had experienced all of them, she came to the conclusion that Alexios was the most comfortable, and soon became Alexios’s charge.

In the case of Arietta, she offered tea in a gentle manner. Ulla spent a warm afternoon tea with Arietta and returned to her mission.

To be honest, I wanted to be in her charge, but the uprising soon decided to stop watching her.

And in the case of Marie, the undead were sent to track down Ulla. She later said she thought they were playing tag.

And Oz… … .

‘Ugh, even thinking about it now is horrible.’

I put them all in the palm of my hand and played with them. Ulla thought of the look in Oz’s eyes that night through the scope.

I still regretted pulling the trigger after being frightened by the all-seeing eyes.

It was my biggest mistake as a sniper.

It wasn’t until much later that I realized that I had been induced.

On the other hand, what about Alexios?

He threatened to destroy the whole area if he didn’t come out, but at least there was room for conversation.

‘Yes, compared to the previous two, he’s at least human.’

At least the head is not at all four-dimensional, or the inside is not as black as if there are several serpents growing inside.

Yes, Alexios is a straightforward man. That’s why Ulla was also able to show such a flirtatious attitude in front of him.

Ula, who recalled the events of that time one by one, shook her head and spoke to Alexios again in a carefree manner.

“therefore? Why?”

“… … I am also aware that I have poor social skills.”

“What?”

A bastard who recognizes that usually acts like that?

Ula tilted her head to see if she had heard something wrong.

“I know I need money too. But I know you don’t know how to do it other than punching… … .”

“Ahahahahaha.”

“… … .”

“No, no, that’s it. Why did someone you know do that? Ahahahaha.”

Alexios glared annoyed at the laughing Ulla.

When I left it alone, it slowly climbed up and fell down.

“Do you really want to turn your head when you ask me?”

“… … I was kidding.”

“Tsk… … . It’s okay, I don’t have a hobby of bullying the weak.”

“Oh oh? Call me weak… … .”

Before Ula could finish her words, she found Alexios’ arm across her cheek and shut her mouth.

“… … I’m an underdog Well, yes, I am a huge underdog.”

“Okay, tell me. What is the magic tool Oz said?”

“Well? Oh, come to think of it, even if you saw it, wouldn’t you know?”

Ulla smiled mischievously at the materials in Alexios’ arms.

“Have you ever been on a Magical Injury Train?”

Madou Injury Train.

In simple terms, it was a means of transportation across continents equivalent to a magnetic levitation train using magic.

“doesn’t exist.”

“I was a country boy after all… … .”

“Because I run faster and get better fuel economy.”

“Hmm, hmm… … .”

Ula stiffened as she smiled. I knew Alexios was great, but he had absurd stamina.

“Well, anyway, these are the key ingredients. Don’t you know where you got these?”

Looking at the materials Oz gathered from the daily dungeon, Ulla exclaimed. They are different in size, but all are of high purity.

“If it’s metal, can’t it be a material for something else?”

“right. But what do you think you need most?”

“strength.”

“… … I guess that’s enough. Well, anyway, I think we thought it was about the ability to fly.”

Alexios wanted to frown at Ulla’s words, but then spoke in a harsh voice.

“Is it necessary?”

“You won’t be able to move your body in the sky either?”

“You can kick the sky.”

“… … I thought you were human, but are you also a monster?”

“Do you want to get behind?”

“No, not like that… … .”

Ula had to give a detailed explanation from the beginning to Alexios, who was on the verge of exploding in the end.

The time when the final exams for ＜Skientia＞ are approaching.

[Golden Hero] Justitia Heros had arrived in front of the Devil Castle.

“Um, are you there? It really looks like a castle where the demon king would live!”

“Then, warrior. Please be careful.”

Justitia thanked the demon for guiding her.

“Yeah! Thanks for guiding me. Oh, by the way.”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you a demon?”

“how… … ?”

“Hee hee hee, since I’m a hero, can you tell the difference between a demon and a human?”

“… … .”

Justitia noticed from the beginning the opponent who pretended to have met her by chance.

And even for what purpose the opponent approached him.

Justitia looked foolish, but was a fairly skilled warrior.

“The report is good, but could you be a little late this time?”

“You knew who I was all this time, but you let me go?”

“I don’t know who exactly. I know, though, that I was secretly reporting my every move.”

“What were you thinking if I were the devil’s spy?”

[Hero], Justitia replied with a playful smile.

“I have to endure it.”

“… … .”

“I’m not sure what I’m doing is right. Because it depends on different standards. Even if you are on the side of the demon king, wouldn’t that show that the demon king has that kind of justice?”

“then… … . If there are demons who claim that the demon king is right, what will you do? If you’re thinking of quitting… … .”

“Nope.”

Justitia said firmly.

“I’m on the side of the person who thinks the devil is not right.”

Justitia considered herself to be on the side of the weak.

However, he did not think of himself as absolute goodness or justice.

Because anything could be for a reason.

So she knew

“War isn’t just about right and wrong, right?”

No matter how individual it may be, what she is about to do from now on is tantamount to a declaration of war.

“All right. Hero, Justitia.”

The man disguised as a demon showed understanding of Justitia’s actions with a slight nod of the head.

“Come to think of it, now that I’ve been caught, I guess I should introduce myself properly. I am the intelligence department of the Helios Empire. An informant belonging to Tenebris. My name is Carmella.”

“Something like a feminine name!”

“I hear it often. More than that, the hero, Justitia? I would like to make one suggestion… … .”

“Come to the Empire after work?”

“Yes, you understand quickly. In our empire, you have many… … .”

“I do not like it.”

Justitia answered with a more determined attitude than before. The man who identified himself as Carmella looked at Justitia with wide eyes.

He must have never thought that he would refuse without listening to any conditions.

“I like freedom.”

In front of that firm will, Carmella eventually nodded, finding no room for negotiation.

“Yes… … . Then I will hope for the overthrow of the Demon King of the Hero.”

“Just trust me!”

[Golden Hero] Justitia stepped toward the castle of the devil.

* * *

A week has passed since I handed over the ingredients to Alexios. I don’t know if that magic tool is complete or not.

I did as much as I could.

He’s also quite skilled, so if I use that magic tool, even if I don’t win ＜Parade＞, I’ll be able to take care of myself.

More importantly, it wasn’t Alexios. The fact that a week has passed is in itself important.

Yes, today is the day to raise the level of [Ruler of Mana].

Final exams starting next week? It’s okay to be swayed like that.

“Whoa… … .”

People have expectations even when they know they won’t.

It cannot be denied as long as hope exists in the first place.

“no way.”

that’s me too

Moreover, as a person who enjoys games such as collectible RPGs, I could say that I have a stronger tendency to rely on such hope than others.

“Can this be?”

But I wouldn’t expect it. It’s honestly impossible.

There are some things you can’t fake even if you keep trying to convince yourself like that.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

Exp : 495/500

What will happen when you reach level 3?

To be honest, if you think about the tails at level 2, you can say that the answer is not to have expectations.

but.

yes, but that’s it

[Space Barrier] was good, right?

Didn’t it create an amazing effect of creating it in the desired location?

So, wouldn’t it be okay to have expectations for [The Ruler of Mana] as well?

“No, no. oh i hope so To be honest, I’m not looking forward to it.”

Wouldn’t the degree of stack reduction be worth looking forward to?

If you think about it, the production crew without mana (M) has an appropriate personality.

Its characteristics are revealed from the usual lack of explanation.

So, rather than the idea of incorporating new elements into Level 3, the idea of using what is there may be more welcome.

＜Prana Fragment ×5＞

So wouldn’t it be okay to have a little hope?

No, after thinking that way, didn’t you worry about the production crew’s mana (M)? I don’t want to worry about anything anymore.

“Okay, let’s clear our minds.”

Deciding to give up expectations, I sublimate the last piece of Prana and put it in my body.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2 → Lv. 3]

“Hmm, hmm…”

don’t expect don’t do it

[Skills are partially changed.]

As last time, while covering my eyes with my palm, check the newly changed [Mana Ruler] between my fingers.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 3]

Exp : 0/1500

No, what is experience? Don’t you have too little conscience? Is 3 times too much?

This is just like telling them not to level up any more.

But if you think that I will stop this nogada just because I am like that, you are mistaken. I’m already used to a lot of bad games, so I don’t blink an eye at that level of hard work.

well, that’s it What matters is how it has changed. Don’t expect too much.

[The amount of mana possessed increases.]

This is Lv. Same as 2nd time

It would be convenient to think that mana also increases according to my growth.

Alright, so that’s the main point now. How did it go?

I checked the following items.

[The power of mana is strengthened.]

“… … ?”

Could it be that this is the end? What do you want me to explain? You have a moderate personality, you bastards?

[Congratulations!]

Oh, fortunately, the explanation continued. Well, I wouldn’t have made an explanation to say something like that.

[Advanced magic restrictions have been lifted!]

“… … .”

what?

Did I see something wrong? Has [Contemplation] been broken by overuse?

Massage your eyes for a moment and check again.

[Advanced magic restrictions have been lifted!]

Nothing has changed.

“her… … .”

To be honest, I can say that it is a very good effect. No, there is no better effect than this.

By the way… … . By the way. Isn’t that the same as saying this at the same time?

“Until now, there were restrictions on advanced magic… … ?”

Why are you telling me that now?

Until now, I’ve been studying and practicing day and night to try advanced magic once, and drawing constructive spells in the air to make my fingers rip, then what will become?

“her. hahahaha.”

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t use high-level magic, so I had been forcibly using [Wizard’s Gear] or [Pinaka] by weaving elementary and intermediate magic.

I just wondered if I was still lacking in power compared to Oz.

When I think of Oz’s talent, I thought it was because of his lack of power!

But what? limit?

What do you mean? No, even if there was a limit, you didn’t tell me something so important until now? are you guys guys?

Looking at my history, there is no such thing as a laugh bell.

I was f*cking f*cking sick to try some advanced magic!

“Heh heh heh.”

Let’s calm down. Didn’t the production crew always know that there was no mana (M)? I made up my mind not to expect it in advance.

Of course, this was hit in the back of the head with a problem before expectations!

“Yes, the production crew is gearing up for mom and then dad… … . No, let’s not talk like this in a bad way.”

Yes, let’s cultivate understanding.

Haven’t you been doing so well so far? There must be a reason I can understand. There must be a reason for making a game.

If I assume that the last time I made a skill was lack of mana (M), what could be the cause of this problem?

From my point of view, I think it may have been that there was a lack of support from the production team’s upperclassmen, that is, a nobleman who was about as game director. So, I made this mistake because I was short on budget.

“Yes, it must be that the available budget for the game was insufficient.”

Available Budget.

We call it AB for short.

I don’t even know what the word is for this.

But I won’t care about that. I don’t care.

Yes, the production team also wanted to make a proper game, but there was no AB. So what?

Not only is there no M, but there is also no AB?

I understand.

yes, i understand

But this time, I have to say just one thing. I really don’t know anything else, but I have to say this.

“Really, these bastards… … .”

You are a real dog.
