41 – #41. Red District Dordom (1)

I packed my luggage into the travel bag I had when I first moved into the dormitory.

Emil provides food, so it’s just extra clothes and daily necessities.

After she had earned a certain amount of money, she wore the real sword she brought from her family and used Stitch on Hedy.

‘The academy will be empty for the next four days….’

She had to tell him in advance that she would not be able to spar during the evening, so she would leave the room empty.

After roughly preparing, I opened the dormitory door and came out.

“Huh?”

“… ….”

Then I ran into Lloyd by chance.

His gaze falls on the large backpack on my back.

“Where are you going to play? Why are we suddenly preparing for evacuation?”

“… Leave your seat for a while. Until then, you guys have lunch together.”

“A few days?”

“Four days.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Just what….”

I was cautious because I was worried that people would worry if I said I was going to rescue the princess.

But Lloyd, who was quick-witted, told me.

“Are you going to meet a girl?”

It seemed a bit strange.

“Why do you only associate with women? “Is that all you have in your mind?”

“Isn’t it?”

“That’s true, but….”

“Then why the f*ck? “You idiot.”

“… ….”

I had nothing to say.

“Anyway, be careful. I’m strangely worried because your behavior has been a little strange since the first day of school….”

“… I?”

I flinched.

Sian, who is the real owner of the body, and I will have different little habits and habits.

I am not the owner of my original body, so small things are unavoidable.

There is no way the fact of possession would be discovered… You might need to be a little careful.

As I was thinking that, Lloyd walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

“He doesn’t pay attention to his surroundings, like he’s about to leave. But, I feel relieved because I’m going to meet a girl. “Do well.”

“… ….”

Is it something like that?

He is leaving soon… It was a sentence that made me think about it.

‘… ‘It’s not wrong.’

In the first place, the academy was a means to develop my strength and qualifications, not a place to build human relationships.

Before the possession, I couldn’t anticipate how tired I would be if Xian’s identity was revealed, so I kept myself hidden all this time.

I wonder if Lloyd, who was usually quick-witted, felt that, too.

I burst into laughter.

I felt once again that he always cared about me.

Lloyd and I are friends… Is it?

He was originally a friend that Xian dated before being possessed….

Can I, who is currently possessing Xian’s body, also be said to be his friend?

“Hey, Lloyd.”

“Why?”

“… No.”

“What? “This guy?”

Out of curiosity, I was about to ask for an example, but I quickly held back.

There is no need to make them even the slightest bit suspicious by giving them information that will make them question their tails.

“I’m coming back.”

“Okay. “Please come back.”

With a bitter smile, I exchanged greetings and left the men’s dormitory.

I headed to the back door of the alchemy lecture building where I was supposed to meet Lucy.

Finally, today was the second day that I was supposed to have the magic tools made.

.

.

.

“How did you sleep?”

When I arrived, Lucy, with her back to the lecture building, came out from under the shadows to greet me.

The sunlight was strong today, so this place was shaded appropriately, which was perfect.

“Yes. Lucy, did you sleep well too?”

“I stayed up all night crafting magic stones.”

“… ….”

“I’m kidding. Did you sleep well.”

She laughs.

Was he originally such a mischievous character?

I was a little discouraged by her prank.

“Have you finished everything you asked for?”

“Of course. “I had to put off my assignment to make this and it was really hard.”

Lucy took out something wrapped in wrapping paper from her backpack, and then handed it to me.

“This is it.”

“This is…” .”

I immediately peeled off the wrapping paper made of silver foil or something.

– Fighting. Tuk.

The thing that was peeled off and revealed like that.

‘… The hilt of the sword?’

It was a sword hilt that glowed blue using my magic stone as raw material.

“Originally, I was going to make it as an accessory, but it was so hard that careful workmanship was impossible even with Xian’s magic power, so I made it like this. “Even though it looks like this, it contains groundbreaking features!”

“What function is it?”

“hehehe… do not be surprised.”

To me, who was holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and looking puzzled, Lucy put on a triumphant expression and spoke with her back to me.

“By maximizing magic compatibility, we were able to shape Sian’s magic power!”

“Formatization?”

“Yes. “Mr. Sian can make the blade longer or shorter as he wishes.”

Lucy continued.

“Now, this can not only be used to interfere with and manipulate Sian’s magical power, but can also be used as a weapon itself!”

“…… !”

As soon as he belatedly understood Lucy’s words, he was surprised.

If that is true….

Are you saying that my Auror itself can be used as a sword?

Originally, aurors were used around a sword.

The reason is that if there is no medium to surround it, the auror only spins around inside the body.

The aura flows through the hilt, which is the handle of the sword, and eventually surrounds the blade, which is the blade of the sword. That’s the basic usage of an auror.

But… According to Lucy’s words.

Even if I don’t have a sword, can I make auras appear in a straight line out of thin air at my will?

Can I use the magic stone’s function, which is highly compatible with my magic power, to manipulate magic power?

This is the principle of a lightsaber!

“This is truly a groundbreaking magic tool… ! Then there is no need to think about the durability of the sword… ?!”

“That’s right. Unless Mr. Xian’s magic powers are all gone. And, since the raw material is the magic stone brought by Mr. Xian, no one else can use it.”

“Is it possible to change the shape precisely?”

“That’s impossible. No matter how much I tried, all I had to do was shape it into a straight line like a sword. Ah! And… The drawback is that it absorbs so much magical power….”

“But it’s okay!”

If you consume a large amount of magical energy, you should use it sparingly and only when it is important.

The harvest exceeded expectations.

… The magic stone that was meant to be used by simply embedding it in a weapon was turned into a weapon itself.

“Thank you so much. Mr. Lucy.”

“hehehe. No. “You didn’t forget to buy me dinner, right?”

“Of course I didn’t forget.”

“Yes. I will expect.”

After the meeting with Lucy, I headed to the academy entrance for the last time.

An ordinary carriage prepared by Emil was parked at the entrance.

When going to the red light district at the end of the empire, if you were to ride in a carriage with the imperial family emblem or a flashy carriage, you could naturally be suspected of being tracked by hostile forces.

Also, if it attracted unnecessary attention, the rumor would not be good. A carriage belonging to the imperial family could be seen in the red light district, which could spread bad rumors.

As we approached the carriage, Emil, who had prepared in advance, was waiting.

Her attire was civilian clothes, not the iron armor she usually wore.

Her long white hair went well with the light blue dress.

Looking at her pious yet gorgeous appearance, she seemed to be a girl from a wealthy commoner family.

“Are you ready?”

Emil spoke to me with a serious expression.

“Yes. “It’s been a long time since I finished it.”

“… What is that sword on your waist? “It has two sheaths.”

“This is for emergency use.”

“I see….”

When the driver said that everything was ready, we entered the carriage.

If the knights were used and the group went around openly, the Dark Demon Church that kidnapped the princess would definitely run away.

That is why they first infiltrated the red light district with knights disguised as commoners. They say they will join us later if we are in danger.

“Let’s go!”

As soon as the coachman mounted the horses, she started whipping the three horses and the coachman moved the carriage.

So we headed to Dordom.

*

As we approached the outskirts of the empire, several bandits stopped the carriage and blocked us.

But they could not stop the carriage carrying Emil, who was a sword expert or higher.

Whenever bandits approached Emil, she got off the carriage and cut down dozens of bandits in an instant. As if she was in a hurry, she immediately demanded the coachman to keep going straight.

There was no time for me to step forward.

Because we took a route that did not take a detour, the demonic beasts attacked once, but even that was enough for Emil and I.

The strongest demon that had attacked up to this point was the Hobgoblin, a reinforced version of the Goblin.

Even if it was close to the border, the security around the empire was at a high level.

Soon it became night.

The scarlet lights of the red light district were visible from afar.

We are almost there.

“Aren’t you sleepy?”

I asked Emil implicitly.

She was the one who constantly dealt with bandits and demonic beasts.

I thought this would have caused a lot of fatigue.

“Not at all. “I don’t feel sleepy just thinking about the princess’s body being in danger.”

“That’s amazing.”

“Because that is the knight’s mission. “Sian, you will realize this when you graduate and become older.”

The carriage gradually enters the red light district.

A street lined with many bars.

For promotional purposes, each store had round red lanterns hanging on the walls.

On the streets, old men and men were often seen walking with young women, stumbling while drunk.

At a glance, I could feel that it was a middle city for entertainment.

-Tak! Widely!

“Hey, you’re riding a nice carriage! Hiccup, hiccup!”

“Oppa! “Let’s just go!”

At that time. A man with a sword struck our carriage as it was moving down the street.

When a woman who appeared to be his lover stopped him, the man once again shouted at our carriage in a bravado tone.

“Hey you guys! “Are you ignoring what people say?”

“… ….”

When Emil saw him like that, his expression turned rotten, as if he had seen a bug.

This is a street she would never have set foot on before, so she must be unfamiliar with this kind of scene.

I was okay with it because I had seen a lot of drunk citizens walking around the streets of similar bars before I was possessed.

However, the coachman who was driving the carriage also seemed to be watching the surroundings as if he was scared.

“… It feels like I’m seeing some truly savage animals. “I just don’t feel like a person.”

Emil said to me.

I nodded silently.

And I looked around intently.

The important thing is not to appreciate the distance, but to find the destination.

The destination building looks like a bar with a red roof and wooden interior with rooms.

Although the sign says it is a bar, inside it is said to be a place where illegal activities such as prostitution are mainly carried out.

Rosaria is there.

I don’t know why Rosaria was kidnapped there, but it wasn’t a very nice place.

I had to find it as quickly as possible.

It was a time when I looked around so intently.

-Squeak, thump.

Suddenly the carriage stopped.

” Coachman! Why did it stop?! Keep following the path!”

Emil got angry as if he was in a hurry, but the coachman kept the carriage parked with an embarrassed expression.

“Ah, in front….”

“…… ?”

The coachman said to us, pointing ahead.

We were puzzled and looked straight ahead at the same time as the coachman pointed.

Then there.

“Hey, let’s stop for a moment.”

A rough-looking man with a thick beard and a group of people who appeared to be part of a gang were unexpectedly blocking the carriage.
