After checking in and leaving out luggage at our lodgings, we went around the capital’s main facilities and the central marketplace, where we could buy various things. After enjoying sightseeing for a while, we returned to the accommodation and gathered in my room. We were going to share today’s impressions with each other and review tomorrow’s plans.
By the way, Apricot is also staying at the accommodation (as it’s cheaper), probably because of Ash’s recommendation. As for Mr. Burnt and Ms. Amber, they are staying together as siblings in a room near us at the same accommodation.
“You don’t have any alcohol?”
“Yes.”
And Cyan, who was more sullen than usual, asked something you wouldn’t normally hear from a Sister.
Apparently, or should I say as expected, she was subjected to a lot of snide comments and pressure at the church. It caused her to get stressed out. As a result of that, as soon as she came here, she split her normal Sister clothes with her hands so that it ended up with a slit like her usual uniform, took off her headgear and demanded alcohol.
Actually, does she even have spare clothes?
“How did your sightseeing go? Did you enjoy it?”
“Yeah. I’m feel apologetic to you, Ms. Cyan, but we had a pleasant time.”
Lady Violet handed Cyan a (non-alcoholic) drink and told her that we had fun.
She told her that Gray and Apricot had funny reactions each time and we had fun just observing them.
We were able to see different types of seasonings and tea that we don’t see in Shiki and were able to compare the flavors and enjoy the taste.
That our eyes lit up when we saw the street performance. It was also fun to see that Lady Violet watching so intently, perhaps because she had never seen them.
We also went to a diner that I used to go to when I was a student for dinner and everybody was happy to try it.
She talked about what happened just today.
“I’m glad you had fun. I also wanted to come with you instead of having to practice singing and the play. Tell me about that diner later, Clo. I’ve probably never been there before.”
“I’ll tell you the location, but don’t go there dressed like that.”
“Uuu, Cottie, Clo’s saying the same thing as my peers~“
“No, I also think it’s better if you stop dressing like that, Ms. Cyan. It’s fine in Shiki, but people here aren’t used to it, so it’s not a good idea to stir them up unnecessarily.”
“Eh, but your clothes stand out too, Cottie. If your outfit is okay, doesn’t that mean that my outfit is okay too?”
“Is that how you thought of my clothes, Ms. Cyan?!”
Apricot’s witch-like clothes also stand out.
There are some mages who wear clothes that resemble that style, but I rarely see them wear big hats like Apricot or hold canes or flip their coats, so it’s true that she stands out.
“A play… huh?”
While Cyan and Apricot were arguing about their clothes, I heard Lady Violet whisper in a low voice.
A play. In other words, something that His Highness Vermillion and Ms. Mary are starring in.
Lady Violet seems to have moved on to some extent, but she must still have things on her mind. In the end, she even got invited to that play…
“Well, we’ll both have a hard time starting tomorrow, so let’s enjoy what we can enjoy. You have a day off at least, right, Cyan?”
“More or less. The play aside, I’m also busy with confessions and songs, so I don’t have many days off. I’m also thinking about using the day off to participate in the academy’s competition for outsiders.”
“What are you talking about?”
I wanted to change the topic, but Cyan suddenly started saying something stupid.
“Eh, I mean, it’s a good opportunity to go wild legally. Fufu, I can’t believe a day has come when I can unleash the full power of my fists…!”
“Don’t you ‘day has come’ me! Won’t you be scolded by the higher-ups again for turning yourself into a spectacle If you were to participate in something like that?”
“It’s pretty much the same thing as being a part of the play at a school festival and attracting people by creating a place for confessions.”
If you say that, I can’t argue back.
It’s true that combat itself isn’t prohibited by the doctrine because of the need to defend oneself from monsters, but excessive force is still condemned. She’s been doing it a lot in Shiki, so I do feel like it’s a bit too late to call her out on it.
“If I’m going to be scolded no matter what I do, I want to do whatever I want as much as possible.”
“Ms. Cyan, I think that’s probably the same way of thinking as criminals.”
“Do you want to participate too, Io? It looks like we can team up too, so we can snag the win together.”
“No, I’m…”
I can only see the bad ending if Lady Violet competes at the school festival.
She’s still a daughter of a duke, so there won’t be any overt acts of sabotage, but the more she stands out, the more booing she’ll get and somebody might try to obstruct her secretly. I doubt Cyan wouldn’t know that…
“Fuhahahaha! Then I shall participate with my disciple! Time has finally come for me to unveil one of my greatest spells, ‘Tenfold Eradication’!”
“Oh! It’s the one that’s so incomprehensibly powerful that it kills everybody who gets hit by it!
Don’t you ‘the one!’ me! What’s with that vaguely dangerous-sounding magic?
Also, please don’t use any of your greatest magic spells, Apricot. If things go wrong, the entire arena might be blown away.
“Then I will participate with my brother. We will not fight in the arena, but we will fight with the participants elsewhere.”
“Yes, let’s utilize various methods. It’s okay, I have the medicine that Lady Emerald gave me.”
“Wait, Burnt, that’s probably poison, not medicine.”
“Please don’t worry. It’s the kind that’s not detectable.”
“What do you want me to feel at ease about?”
Those siblings are amazing. They openly announced that they would get rid of the participants behind the scenes.
Come to think of it, I wonder how strong they are? I can tell that they’re strong from the way they carry themselves, but I wonder about their magic. I wonder if it’s just my imagination that I feel like Mr. Burnt uses magic that utilizes vibrations.
“That’s why you will join alone, Clo. Don’t worry, if it’s you, you’ll have no problems alone either!”
“Why do I have to go through the trouble of joining a team tournament alone?”
“Eh? Then do you want to invite Ro? You can aim to win with her.”
“… That sounds good.”
“Lord Clo?!”
A tag team with Robot, huh? … Not bad.
Robot’s abilities are definitely top class in the academy and I’d love to trample down everybody while laughing loudly. To be exact, the one doing the tramping would be Robot, but how to say this, it would make me feel like the evil boss and help me relieve stress.
“Alright, then go get participation forms for everybody, Clo!”
“Okay, let’s make Shiki famous, shall we?”
“Nay, it is me and my disciple who shall make our names known.”
“Yes! Let’s trample them down and laugh at them!”
“Brother, I will investigate the delivery route for the drinks given to the players.”
“Then I will look into the information on the staff.”
“H-hey guys, are you serious? Are you really serious?”
“”Of course (Milady)””
“Guys…?”
I wasn’t sure about it at first, but when I was told that I would be participating with Robot, I was convinced.
This is probably just Cyan messing around after seeing how depressed Lady Violet was.
She’s sensitive about stuff like that, and it seems like she got worried.
“Kukuku, I’ll let out all my pent-up frustration on the day of the match… I don’t care about the Archbishop…!”
“Lady Apricot, the time has finally come to show ‘Great Deity Ibuki: Kagura’ to everybody.”
“Yeah, with it, my magic also increases. Since I’ve improved it, it no longer needs the power of the curse. Fufu, I shall annihilate everybody…!”
“Brother, let’s take turns to protect the group and divide the roles in investigation—“
“Then I’ll choose this timeslot to—“
I want to believe that she was worried about Lady Violet.
Eh, or rather, did Apricot master [Great Deity Ibuki] from the outline that I gave her? And she even improved it? Is this kid for real?
