Master SSS-Class Magic Swordsman

Shadows and Thieves192.

“Hey eh…”

“No, I, over there…”

"Keah eh..."

At the orange-haired girl's whistle, was Eud embarrassed too?

How the hell does this work?

Chasing after stealing a bag, chasing one more time to get a note.

I finally caught it after so much hardship. (Although I'm half-fisherman.)

Hood, who thought he was a thief, was the owner of the notebook.

He doesn't even care that his horn-rimmed glasses are completely messed up.

Tears and runny nose were dripping down his glasses.

Should I say this is not good enough? Or should I be sad?

Wise was also bewildered by the restlessness of the Familiar who was about to confront.

They're the Familiars who didn't even give Eud a chance until before.

Suddenly, the feeling changed.

“-Cherny unnie, I am afraid of owls.”

Then the girl caught by Ewood spoke as if explaining her circumstances.

Is the orange-haired girl's name Czerny?

“Ah, is that so?”

“It’s Kururu.” (noud)

“……You are Familia, aren’t you?”

"Yeah. It's Familia. Sorry for making a fuss.”

“Ah, huh. Whoa…” (nodded)

A girl who is the same as the Familiars of the Mask-

Eud inadvertently admired Familia Kururu's nodding and nodded together.

I've talked to Eud before.

I didn't know that I could really communicate with Familia.

Soon, Eud realizes that he is riding on a Czerny.

He hurriedly fell to the side, holding Kururu.

The Liquid Fang that was pressing on his arm was also gently removed.

If it was just a thief, I would have kept suppressing it. Because there seems to be some misunderstanding and an accident.

Besides, riding on top of a woman is absolutely not manners.

And Czerny, barely freed in one of her arms—

“-!!”

“Cool juk kuk juk...!”

"Ah."

Suddenly she wanted something, and she wiped her tears with both hands.

Then the masked family members approached each other.

Eud was wary of wanting to do something about them too.

In the same way, without doing anything special, he wipes the corners of Czerny's eyes with a handkerchief. Carefully lift up Cherni's upper body as well.

Maybe it's because the clothes aren't the butler & maid atmosphere.

It reminds me of the phoenix maids, and they take good care of them.

“Uh-huh, thank you… Oberon, Titania… ugh.”

“It’s okay over there-”

“Hey…!”

As Eud called carefully, Czerny was startled and avoided his body immensely.

Only then is it the main audience.

Previously, they were pursuers and fugitives.

Now I feel like a perpetrator and a victim.

As soon as Weiss flew to Eud, Czerny's pupils trembled even more.

The masked Familiar swings his arms around as if trying to hide it.

Apparently, Kururu just said that owls are scary.

“I’m sorry, Weiss. Please stay behind my back for a second.”

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Weiss was dissatisfied, but he followed Eud's advice.

It tightly adheres to Eud's back and hides his appearance.

Czerny let out a sigh of relief, as if barely relieved.

“Cerny-senpai… did you say?”

“Yeah uh … a little bit.”

“Did you come to retrieve the notebook by any chance?”

".......Yep."

Did this Satan really arise with a single note?

Eud unconsciously washed his face.

“I was going to report lost and found to the second library early tomorrow. Even if you don’t do this…”

“Ugh, sorry.”

Czerny, who sat on the floor, tightly held the notebook he had taken earlier.

Meanwhile, he continues to be cared for by the Familiars.

He said that he had just wiped his face.

As if the Familiar were comforting a child, the male-type Oberon was stroking his hair.

Feminine-Titania shakes off her remaining dirt.

“So, you could just come and tell me to return it…”

As Eud spoke as cautiously as possible, Cherny had a guilty expression on her face.

That was then.

“Hey, Eud-! Where are you?!” (Anat)

“I heard a sound from this side earlier……” (Françine)

“Tiana, are there any potions that brighten your eyes?” (Selena)

“Camila-sama said that potions like that are being developed... Just in case the hell period is over, I’ll have to send a letter to Camilla too. the youngest-! Where did you go!?” (Tiana)

“I hope that strange ghosts don’t come out again… I’m afraid of the night…” (Drawa)

".......Ah! Those twinkling things from afar, I think it's Wise's eyes! It seems that you have already found Eud!” (Flora)

It must have been that he followed Eud belatedly.

From far away in the direction of the hideout, the voices of the sisters and the Phoenix members could be heard.

Hell, he ran away without looking back.

And as soon as it started, it was a sprint.

I couldn't figure out right away which way it was going.

But, "It looks like you've already found Eud-sama."

"awhile. Wise, did you come here after listening to your sisters?”

“Woohoo!”

“For some reason, this guy was quick.”

Wise proudly spread her wings and nodded her head.

You damn owl child.

Somehow, I thought I was moving more actively than usual.

From the beginning, it seems that he started after receiving orders from his sisters.

It was helpful, so shouldn't Eud complain too?

Afterwards, Eud tried to call his sisters.

Then, on the part of Czerny, he had a very cold expression on his face.

He shudders and shakes his hands.

“……?”

“Well, that’s because we shouldn’t increase our contact with people any more than that…!”

"what?"

“Hey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry……!”

Immediately, he was startled by Wood's eyes and stopped her arm.

Maybe you don't want other people to find out more?

To be honest, Eud was now beyond bewildered and absurd.

Then, another voice came from somewhere.

[“So you said it wouldn’t matter if you just got caught, hahaha, I thought you would get caught in the end~!”]

“No, don’t make fun of me, really……!”

"uh......?"

Seeing Czerny answering in the air, Eud was startled once more.

Soon, Eud noticed a sound coming from the 'pocket watch'.

Did I fall and drop it earlier? A pocket watch was rolling next to Cerny.

It is certainly. It's communication magic.

It was clear that it was a high-level magic item, such as those installed in trains and the Colosseum.

Just like the humanoid Familia, ‘magic of ridiculous difficulty’.

-In other words, this voice right now may be the magician behind the girl with great skills.

[“I’m sorry, Eud. ‘Cherrynia’ is making a fuss this morning. He’s a little stubborn.”]

“Oh, yes.”

[“For now, can’t we just let Chernia go tonight?”]

“Sleep, wait a minute, that name is...!”

"uh? Cherrynia?”

At the same time as I suddenly answered the voice I heard from the pocket watch.

Eud responded to the name 'Chernia', not 'Cherni'.

It must have been when I was called by Gareth in the Phoenix mansion.

It was the name Eud heard at that time.

Exactly-

It was the name of the subject of the request from ‘The Helmet Dwarf’.

(“Eud. When you go back to the academy, won’t you watch over a student?”)

(“Are you a student?”)

(“…Oh, I’m older than you, but if I remember correctly, I was the same age as Selena…..and this is a request my friend asked the dwarf in the helmet. So feel free to refuse It's okay...")

(“If you are a friend of your father, you must listen to it. By the way, who are you going to protect?”)

("That's... Delberg's youngest sister.")

(“……Um? Father, if you say Delberg-”)

(“Yes. The current king of Eugracia.”)

(“!!!”)

(“He has asked the dwarf in helmet for his youngest brother. The contents of the request are-”)

The contents of the request from Gareth are-

Gareth's friend, the current King Delberg Ogist Eugracia. His ‘to watch over my youngest sister.’

At the same time, it was ‘to protect them in case of an unknown threat.’

Including the princess's case, who will be coming to the academy soon.

And the name of the royal girl that Eud heard at that time was-

“Cerrinia Ogist Eugracia?!”

“Hey, hey…!”

Yes. Obviously 'Cherrynia'.

Even Eud didn't know his face.

Still, he certainly remembered his real name.

I've heard that they're using a pseudonym because of the academy's secrecy...

Czerny was even more terrified when his identity was completely revealed.

But was Eud even more confused?

I thought he was a ghost, but he is a thief.

I thought he was a thief, but he was the owner of the note.

Now, the owner of the note is the subject of the request.

what is this

Moreover, this request is an agreement between his father and his son, and he has decided not to inform his sisters.

By the way, my sisters are also coming here now.

If you calculate how loud the sound is, it's sure to arrive within 30 seconds.

In the end, Eud repeated his thoughts for a second or two, then sighed heavily.

“Ah…! For now, see you later! Noonas are coming, so hurry up before you get caught!

“Jin, really?!”

“It’s late, so go back to bed right away! (Slowly!)”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

I'm going to let it go for now

If caught, it becomes complicated for Euddo to explain to his sisters.

Besides, if it's Selena and Tiana's personalities, they'll never go away.

If you make a mistake, your sisters may slap you with a wooden sword.

He's been joking up until now, but he's still a member of the royal family.

Isn't it a situation where he even used a pseudonym to hide his identity?

Eud hurriedly let go of Kururu as well.

Whatever it was, Eud got his bag back. I will not buy any doubts from my sisters.

[“Eud, thank you~ Well then, Oberon, Titania. Please move Cherrynia to the dormitory~ My legs are all relaxed.”]

[““(nod)””]

[“And Kururu is summoned off. Well done~”]

"Yep."

At the command from the pocket watch, the masked Familiar- Obern carried Cerni.

After Titania received her notes from Czerny, she picked up the pocket watch that fell.

Turning around then, she nodded to Ewood both.

You act more politely than you can imagine.

And Kururu, as small as a doll, disappeared with the sound of “Pong!” in an instant.

All that remains is the characteristic reverberation that remains as the magic overheats.

As for this chain of nonsense, Eud couldn't help but stare blankly.

Immediately, Czerny and the masked family members left in an instant.

Perhaps, according to the pocket watch, he would have headed to the dormitory.

Crumbling Bubbling - Pavat!

"-Eud, I found it...!"

“Eud, the thief?! Where did the little things go?!”

A little later, the members arrived one after another, starting with Selena and Tiana.

Eud smiled bitterly as he showed him his bag.

“That’s… sorry, I missed it. I found the bag, but it suddenly popped out in front of my eyes and disappeared.”

“Did you miss it?! Disappear in front of your eyes?!” (Anat)

“After all, with those little shadows earlier, they were all ghosts… hey hey…” (Drawa)

“Um, maybe it was Familia.” (Selena)

“Hey… Ah! It could be!” (Drawa)

“Ah, yes. Maybe that's it.” (Eud, he squirms)

“Uh, maybe it was really a joke from another faction. You have to be careful.” (Francine)(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

At the fact that he wasn't a ghost, Drawa was barely relieved.

Well, aside from saying I missed it, it's not really a lie. Maybe that's not an awkward thing to say?

Except for the fact that ‘one person’ is included, it is actually the correct answer.

In the meantime, Eud exchanged silent glances with Wise.

The intention was to keep a little secret.

Weiss groaned, pretending to be ignorant with Ewood in his arms.

Eud and Weiss.

We grumble at each other every time.

Even so, you can have a conversation with your eyes.

Tiana and Selena rushed up to her, and looked hard at her sister to see if there were any injuries.

And Flora-

“……Ummm?”

As if a little strange, he looked around with Eud.

Before everyone came, Eud erased all traces of the water magic around him.

Were you still worried?

Flora's eyesight is considerable.

“It’s strange……”

Flora tilted her head as she ruffled his blue hair.

Her straight hair, which was different from her usual ponytail, swayed gently.

But with Eud, his heart fluttered.

“-From now on, we will set the security magic to double and triple, and turn it on. It was annoying when I went out, so I just turned it on at 1. I guess we were too lazy.”

Flora, like his advisor, immediately took action.

“But is it going to work?”

“The fire protection magic that prevents Tiana’s runaway is still intact. It's the magic of Gareth-sama's generation, so it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe even Familia can stop it.”

“Oh, hey! Why are you suddenly calling me up!”

“Tiana, just in case, did you leave the lamp lights off?”

“Unbelief is very natural! It's off, it's off! Gyaaaah!”

Tiana was slightly annoyed by her fire protection magic story.

After examining Ewood's body, Selena clenched her wooden sword.

“I don’t know who the mastermind is… next time he shows up again, it’s Jeze immediately. For touching the youngest child, I will make you pay for it by breaking all his legs..."

“Hey.” (Eud)

“So tell me! Dare to aim for the youngest bag! It's a bag that we all worked hard on for the three of us to use as a set... Just show it, I'm going to go for the maximum output of fire magic right now!

“Ah, ah-ha… well, even if you let me be a little gentle-”

""No.""

“Yes…”

Selena and Tiana's fighting spirit burns.

To be precise, Czerny was aiming at the notebook, not the bag.

Now that I see, Tiana's hand even had her own staff, the 'Main Colossus'.

If he found a thief, he must have thought of setting fire to it.

The warmth from the tip of the wand seemed to have accumulated quite a bit of magical power.

Even when I looked closely at Tiana's pocket-

“…Tiana noona, maybe that?”

“Ah, I used this last time to get rid of weeds and tegur flowers in the hideout.”

There is even a poison potion that was used when removing the Tegur flowers last time.

“Tiana, wouldn’t it be lethal if not handled well?”

“It’s a threat, it’s a threat. ...I didn't know if it was human in the first place, so wouldn't it be okay to drink it?"

“Ah, that’s right, if it’s a Familiar, is it okay to pour it in……?”

Eud, Tiana and Flora's bloody words make me cry.

That potion is never drinkable. It is a potion that is spread on the ground full of weeds. You must yield to the land.

Was it a good thing I sent Cerny? After all, it was not only Zeze, but it was almost eliminated.

* * *

And only after returning to the hideout, Eud realizes that he has settled on a way to contact Czerny.
