58 – This is the first time I’ve seen magic like this in my life

Rail took her eyes off Lucas when she heard that she was a saint.

And after looking at Iris for a while, he bowed and bowed politely.

“Sorry for the rudeness. Lady Iris. Please come inside.”

“No. Let’s pretend that the previous incident didn’t happen to each other.”

“Thank you. Holy Maiden.”

Fortunately, seeing Rail recognize her, Iris let out a sigh of relief.

“Have a seat, please. Holy Maiden.”

“Thank you.”

Iris, who was guided by Luna and sat down, looked at the rail in front of her.

The appearance of him sitting silently was quite different from the rumors.

Extremely normal body type, unlike the fat body type. No, to be precise, looking at the strong muscles visible through the clothes, it seems that he takes care of his body quite thoroughly.

“Luna. Please ask for tea.”

“Yes. Master.”

And the way she spoke kindly to Luna, her only attendant, and the way she answered with a smile, it seemed that the relationship between the two was pretty good.

I didn’t see the rumored body shape and crazy personality at all.

“Black tea. Holy Maiden.”

“Thank you.”

I took a sip of the black tea that Luna had brewed.

‘The taste is better than I thought.’

The aroma of deep black tea spread from the mouth.

Smiling contentedly, she set her teacup down and looked at the rails as she sipped her tea.

It tasted like spring even though it was winter, but his expression was still cold.

She knew what had happened to Rail, but Iris couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by how different she was from what she expected.

“Saint. What are you visiting today?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you for a moment.”

Lost in her thoughts, Iris finally remembered the reason she had come to her mansion.

“For generations, the Violand family has given blessings to each new head of the temple.”

“I see.”

Rail had such a setting, she muttered softly.

“I should have visited in person, but I’m sorry for making you come all the way to the mansion.”

“No. It’s been a long time since I came to the South, so it’s good. I also saw a lot of funny scenes.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

At her words out of politeness, Rail gave a small smile.

“Then when can I receive a blessing?”

“It’s midnight on the day of the full moon in two days.”

“You mean two days?”

“Yes. I must have sent you a letter a few days ago, but didn’t you receive it?”

At Iris’s question, Rail turned her head.

She also turned her gaze to where the rails were looking.

There were so many envelopes piled up that I couldn’t read them all in a few days.

“Certainly the Marquis doesn’t seem to have time to read our letter.”

“Sorry. She should have checked the contact of the saintess first.”

“No. You must be busy, but it’s our fault for setting the wrong date.”

Rail raised her head and looked at the ten or so knights standing behind her.

“Thanks to the many vacant rooms, there are rooms for knights to stay, so it should be fine. Of course, the saintess also has her sleeping room.”

“There must be other maids, but seeing as there is even a sleeping space for the drivers, the mansion looks quite spacious unlike the outside, doesn’t it?”

“…… hahahaha. Yes.”

Rail laughed lightly at her question.

But his mouth was smiling, but his eyes weren’t laughing at all.

After seeing Rail’s reaction, Iris belatedly recalled how many empty rooms there were in her mansion.

“I made a mistake. Sorry. Marquis Rail…….”

“It’s okay. The saintess is the same person, but she can make mistakes.”

“… ….”

“… ….”

After those words, there was an awkward silence between the two.

Iris drank black tea in an awkward atmosphere, and before she knew it, her cup of black tea was empty.

Hmm. Hmm. After drinking the tea, she lightly cleared her throat and broke her silence.

“Marquis. Would you like to go to the market together?”

“Are you talking about the mayor?”

“Yes. I heard that there is a fairly large market in the Bioland estate.”

Rail nodded at Iris’ words.

But she didn’t know why she asked to go to her market.

“As you know, I have been in temples for most of my life, so I have not been able to go to a common market. Could you please guide me to the market?”

“Yes. I’m fine but….”

Saying that, Rail lifted her head and looked at Lucas standing behind her.

Lucas, who met Rail’s eyes, opened his mouth immediately as if he thought that his turn had finally come.

“No. Saintess. You never know what will happen there. It’s not enough to stay in an unsafe place for two days, and you’re going to the market.”

“Lucus.”

“Yes. Holy Maiden.”

“Is Lucas saying that the Marquis’ mansion is not safe right now?”

At Iris’s question, Lucas nodded her head without the slightest hesitation.

“I’m sorry, Marquis, but as you can see, there are not enough people in the mansion to protect it. However, if you go out with our knights, your identity may be revealed.”

“I see what Lucas is talking about. But do you really think these people are lacking?”

At Iris’ words, Lucas turned her head and looked at the people in front of her.

The first thing that caught his eye was a white-haired child.

However, there is a person of unknown age inside, and his skill is the only great wizard on the continent.

However, she alone cannot protect her mansion and Iris at the same time. She thought so and looked at the dark blue knight next to her.

“… ….”

If he is a person with a certain level of skill, he can judge the skill of an opponent who is less than himself without having to compete directly with the opponent.

However, he couldn’t judge his skills from Aline, who seemed just a rude person until a little while ago.

That means that she is Aline and that she has skills similar to or better than his.

It was then that he looked at Aline with such disbelief.

“The driver should have a cup of tea too.”

“Thank you.”

Lucus looked at Luna, who passed a cup of black tea in front of him before he knew it.

When did you appear in front of me?

Protecting a saintess is a task that can only be undertaken by a person with excellent senses who can perceive even a thief who sneaks up on her while hiding her presence.

But even if she was lost in her thoughts for a while, it was impossible for a mere maid to approach her while avoiding her eyes.

Lucas looked at Luna in front of her as he was handed the car.

‘Muh, what… The maid’s mana…… !’

And for some reason, Lucas couldn’t devise her skills as a mere maid.

Of course, his level seemed inferior to Phenia and Allin, but he was one of the strongest among the knights of the temple, and it was unbelievable that he could not determine his skills.

He smiled one last time and looked at the golden-haired girl who was peacefully enjoying her tea.

Her luck was that she was able to clearly determine that she was inferior to herself.

“Ellis. I broke the ring I made last time. I would have made it difficult, but I’m sorry.”

“No! If the ring helped Rail, I’m satisfied with that!”

And I looked at Ellis, who was rowing with both hands urgently.

Wait a minute. Are you Alice? Alice Neonbar?

A knight of the temple, one of the people I hear these days is Ellis Neonbar.

Isn’t this a family known for making artifacts of outstanding quality?

If his skill was so good, he would even buy Neon Bar’s artifacts from the temple that didn’t take in outside things.

It’s scary.

With these four, it seemed like they could break through the imperial guard and thrust a knife into the emperor’s throat.

Gulp.

Lucas couldn’t drink even though there was deep black tea in his hand and only swallowed his dry saliva.

“Did you say Lucas? The black tea doesn’t seem to suit your taste.”

And the man the four of them really wanted to protect opened his mouth.

A man who brought himself to his knees with just one chant.

“No! I have loved black tea since I was a child!”

Lucus, who couldn’t even make eye contact with Rail, hurriedly poured black tea into his mouth.

“Oops. It was the first time I knew that Lucas likes black tea.”

“I’m glad you got it right.”

Of course this is a lie.

How can he know the flavor and aroma of tea when he is soaked in alcohol every day and the smell of alcohol cannot be washed away?

But Lucas smiled bitterly as he saw the two smiling.

“Okay. Let’s go to the market.”

“Good idea. Lucas.”

“Instead, you must always wear a disguise so as not to be seen.”

“Okay. Marquis. Do you have any other clothes I can wear? These are the only clothes I have right now.”

Certainly, her white dress and veil were enough to catch the attention of those around her.

Rail turned her head to look at her Fenia.

“Penia. Can you use magic?”

“Anything like that is chewing gum.”

At Rail’s request, Fenia raised a staff larger than herself and aimed it at her Iris.

Lucus reacted instantly to that appearance, but backed away at Iris’ restraint.

Blue magic power rises from Fenia’s staff, and she begins to seep into Iris.

And when Fenia’s magic permeated her Iris, the appearance of her Iris and the design of the clothes she was wearing changed.

“Whoa. This is the first time I’ve seen magic like this. Even with my Holy Spirit power, such a perfect disguise is impossible. The title of Archmage really suits you.”

“With nothing special.”

Fenia said it was nothing, but she doesn’t show her expression when she sees her slightly flushed cheeks, but she seems to be in a pretty good mood.
