Gray Gray?

After all morning classes were over, I headed to the restaurant.

I seriously thought about buying bread from the kiosk and eating it in the toilet, but I’m confident.

Anyway, I thought it was going to be a meal I had alone today.

Now the princess was sitting in front of me.

I was planning to go to the duel preparation anyway, but it turned out well.

Since the princess side suggested that we get to know each other first, I think I can get some help with this.

Last time, she spoke well, but today she was a princess who only quietly ate rice.

I stared at her, forgetting to eat.

Why the hell does the princess want to be friends with me?

It is by no means a good choice to include the crumbling traitor House Wallenstein into a faction.

Did he even feel my gaze as he stares and ponders?

the princess asks me

“Why aren’t you eating? Are you not hungry?”

“No, it’s embarrassing.”

“ha ha ha. Even if the real woman is a princess, she is only a cadet in this academy, so don’t feel burdened.”

No, it’s not that it’s burdensome, it’s that those gazes are burdensome!

Look, everyone is already glancing at this place and talking.

It’s like this ignorant princess.

“And, it doesn’t seem like you’re too embarrassed to say that in front of the woman you saw in the first place?”

The princess smiles a little.

All right, don’t give up.

It’s a rumor anyway, it’s something I’ve been through so far.

I brought the point out.

“Chairman, do you know magic and alchemy well?”

“Well. It’s not something I’m very proud of, but it can be said that in addition to the swordsmanship that she mainly used, she also has a deep knowledge of magic and alchemy.”

‘No, anyone who hears it is proud of it.’

Anyway, I smiled brightly at her answer.

“Then Chairman, do you know where these ingredients are used together?”

I told her the name of the Swallow Parchment, Mana Ink, and Alchemy Solvent on the letter.

“Hmm… ”

The princess was in trouble.

“Swallow parchment… ”

Her worries took longer than expected.

“I know mana ink on parchment, but… ”

“Me, Chairman? In case you don’t know… ”

“Be quiet! I think it will come to mind soon!”

No, have you finished eating?

“There’s a solvent… Where really… ”

Slowly people are leaving the restaurant.

Finally, a long time passed.

The princess opened her mouth again.

“Hmm. Louis, by nature a true swordsman should not care about magic and focus only on swordsmanship.”

“Yes? Why are you suddenly making outrageous excuses?”

“What an excuse! What an excuse! Shut up and listen!”

The princess suddenly gets hot.

“greatness! Anyway, isn’t the original girl also in charge of the student council? In short, it’s a waste of brains to allocate to such personal things.”

“Ah, is that so?”

“You bastard, didn’t you just look at me with a slightly pitiful look?”

“You misunderstood.”

The princess with a slightly red face continued to speak.

“However, the most important ability for a high-ranking person like the original woman is to manage the people below in the right place.”

The princess gets up from her seat and tells me.

“Follow me. There is someone who knows.”

The place the princess brought me to was the office where I received the party assignments.

At the desk, there was a woman reading a book that I sometimes saw.

As we approach the desk, she opens her mouth.

“Are you taking orders?”

“Sasha, does it look like I’m here for an assignment?”

“If it’s not an assignment, don’t bother and turn it off… Excuse me, I meant to disappear.”

“… … ”

I looked at her with a little bewilderment.

“Louis, this is Sasha Ryu… ”

“This is Sasha.”

Interrupting the princess, she introduces herself.

“Ah, I am Louis Valen… ”

“I know. Come on, tell me something.”

It was difficult to manage facial expressions.

The princess coughed.

“… Sasha. Do you know where to use Swalin Parchment, Mana Ink, and Alchemy Solvent?”

When the princess asked that question, the answer came straight out of her mouth.

“Parchment, mana ink, alchemy solvent, magic quills, mana stone dust. And, the body part of the subject.”

A bit of an ominous sound comes out of her mouth.

body part?

“It is the material that makes the Curse Scroll. I don’t know why I want to make it in scroll form… ”

“ah!”

I let out a small sigh.

When I listened to her, there was a corner to point out.

In order to secretly activate it during a duel, it must also be in the form of a scroll.

“For reference, if you make it in the form of a scroll, the trigger distance will be shorter. Mana stone powder or mana quills are common items in the academy.”

She continues to speak indifferently.

“Swalin parchment, unlike regular parchment, is parchment woven with mana. It’s just too expensive and not useful.”

“The difference from using regular parchment is… ”

“It helps to cast the magic a little. Also, the Swallow Parchment Scroll disappears after use, unlike regular parchment.”

The back is the key.

If the scroll disappears, the part that will be used as evidence is a potion…

Anyway, I didn’t like her at first because of the way she spoke.

It gives quite a bit of detail.

Oh my gosh, such a grateful person.

The princess hardened her face a little and said:

“Cursed body part… Perhaps, is it magic forbidden by imperial law?”

“no. Hair or fingernails are enough for parts of the body, and a scroll made in that way is embarrassing to call it a curse in the first place.”

Only then did the princess put on a relieved expression.

“Louis, why are you asking this?”

“What… There is such a thing. Sasha, thank you very much.”

I skipped over the princess’s words and thanked Sasha.

It is better for the princess to know nothing.

If Leo’s plans were revealed before the duel, Leo would be punished.

The public apology that I will receive from the party members and the treasure sword of the Epsilt family could also be in vain.

I told Sasha.

“If you want something in return… ”

The favor must be repaid.

Sasha says

“I don’t know if your failing family will be able to afford what I want. Oh!”

… It feels like the feelings of gratitude I have just been grateful for are disappearing.

“Even if I get caught for cursing someone, I don’t want my name to appear. All I ask is this. Then, come on.”

She turns her head back to the book.

What’s with all these people?

‘Anyway, you mean part of the body?’

Leo Epsilt summoned the Academy’s swordsmanship professor, Ian Dexter.

It would be absurd for an academy cadet to summon a professor.

If the cadet is the heir of the duke family, and the professor is a human being who has received a lot of money from the duke family, it makes sense.

At the time of the last party expulsion incident, it was this professor that Leo was looking for.

This time it was a little more dangerous.

I needed to keep things secret.

“Professor, this time I have a duel with a member of the Wallenstein family.”

“Well, you know that.”

The professor also checked the duel application that came in this morning.

“I want the professor to be the observer of the duel.”

“I try my best.”

From the perspective of a professor who received money from the Duke of Epsilt, there was nothing good about not listening to Leo.

Last time, I had rejected his request because it was supposed to be related to the president.

So this time, of course, I was going to accept his request, but the problem was Wallenstein.

The last time the president took care of himself was also a matter related to Wallenstein, so it might be possible this time as well.

That’s why he said he’d try his best, but Leo didn’t like that answer.

“Professor, I also want to tell my father only good stories about you… ?”

“Oh, I see! Hmmm… ”

Leo still had one more task left.

He remembered the letter he had sent to the mansion.

I asked for all the materials that were hard to find at the academy.

Magic quills are used in class, so he had them.

Mana stone powder, even if it wasn’t the highest grade, it was common in the academy.

However, there are some items that can only be obtained from this academy.

Leo instinctively looked around.

“Professor, I need something else… ”

He whispers to Professor Ian.

After hearing his words, the professor nodded.

“It’s that easy.”

Leo smiled pleasantly.

Everything was going according to plan.

‘Louis Wallenstein, soon you will color that unlucky face with disgrace.’

The professor leaves, and Leo laughs out loud.

he didn’t know

Among the trees, someone was looking at him with twinkling eyes.

Calling out the professor to avoid the eyes of others made it easier to follow someone wearing a mask.

“welcome… ”

It’s still a haunting voice.

Perhaps the clerk recognized my face, she said in a slightly startled voice.

“uh? Then that ho… You are a guest… ?”

I nodded lightly.

“Where is the magic hair dye?”

“there… It’s over there… ”

She points to a corner of the store with a languid expression.

Eventually, when I come back with a bottle of hair dye, the clerk’s expression changes strangely.

“uh… Guest? This is black dye… ”

“I know.”

“Yeah, the customer has black hair… No, that’s it… ”

she gets paid

“I thought it was a hogu… A bit short… ”

I mumbled something, but I couldn’t hear it.

Whistling, I tossed and picked up the dye bottle with one hand and left the store.

‘Fufu… Are you going to cut my nails, or will you rip off my flesh? It’s obvious, it’s obvious… ‘

Everything is going well…

“oh!”

Clink!

A bottle of magic dye that I accidentally missed broke.

‘… Am I sick?’

In the end, I bought another one.

The clerk’s expression seemed to change bizarrely, but ignore it.
