Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

87 – Was there such an order?

“Did you receive the gift well? Scarlett.”

Plan asked calmly as always.

Scarlett looked into his red eyes. There was no malice or hostility in it.

Gift.

It’s a gift. I immediately remembered.

“Ha….”

Scarlett closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

A gift that the Faculty of Magic handed over like dog food. Thinking about it made me angry, but for now, it’s better.

My head went cold. Thanks to this, it became possible to escape from the waves of emotions.

It was a tsunami that crossed the waves.

I was swept away without even knowing it. If I had stayed that way, I would have been in a much worse situation.

Scarlett opened her mouth in a low voice.

“… Walk while choosing the time and place of fertilization.”

The gaps between each word were quite long, but she continued clearly.

“Stuck quietly in the room. I’ll call you separately.”

“Scarlett.”

The moment when Plann called her name once again.

Anger—!

She had a great fever rushing towards him.

The flan’s hem fluttered backwards. The bouquet in her hand turned to ashes because it was scorched.

In the blink of an eye, Scarlett radiated heat.

However, Plan was unconcerned. Even the hem of her clothes doesn’t have a trace of being scorched by the fire.

“I won the bet with you.”

He continued.

“… Therefore, no matter what you do, you cannot interfere.”

With those words, Plan flirted with excitement.

The flowers that were far away from her are woven together in Plan’s hand. It soon formed a very beautiful bouquet.

Plan walked slowly. She was towards the tombstone.

The female knight looked at him as he approached the tombstone somewhat puzzled.

I thought Scarlett was looking for her, but she wasn’t.

Plan simply lays her tanned bouquet in front of her tombstone. It was an elegant and understated move.

“….”

Scarlett narrowed her eyebrows and blinked her eyes a few times.

She was momentarily taken aback by Plan’s unexpected behavior.

She looked at him for a while.

“… Tsk.”

Soon after, Scarlett left her seat as if she didn’t like her.

◈

I returned to my room in the mansion.

Although it was in a completely unmanaged state, the internal structure was immediately reversed using magic.

“I think this will be enough for now.”

The interior is as clean as a clean room, and it is arranged so that it feels like an office with a large desk at the center. We also made our own ‘optimizations’ to create a magical environment.

Smart─

“Bocchan, the memorial service has ended safely….”

Katarina, the red-haired maid, looked at her room and froze in surprise.

After she closed the door, she said with a pale face.

“Boss… ! You can’t use magic!”

“I’m fine now. Don’t worry about that part.”

“….”

Katarina looked at me restlessly. But, of course, she couldn’t ask for anything.

She let out a deep sigh before speaking her words.

“Yes. Did you finish the memorial service safely?”

“Yes.”

Curiosity about the owner’s family, courtesy towards the dead. The head maid’s earnest request.

Several elements mixed up to visit the cemetery, and the impressions I felt were few.

[ Hero ]

[ Scorching Knight ]

[ Evelyn Judith ]

How much strength do you need to have the nickname ‘Hero’ in this world?

Also, if she was a knight of scorching heat, why does Scarlett remain only a knight of embers? Once there are only those things.

“When was the last time I made a request?”

“Yes. I will bring it now.”

The maid politely withdraws. Social churches are in full swing outside, but that’s not my purpose right now.

Opened Trivia.

[Becky: Wow what is this?]

[Becky: Kids, can you see me?]

[Lewis: Yes. See.]

[Becky: It’s really amazing. Yes?]

[Trixie: Not really.]

[Becky: Yes.]

Before leaving for the mansion, I tweaked the trivia of the representatives, and the result is this.

From now on, it is possible to check their status even outside the academy.

Of course, the amount of mana consumed increases in proportion to the distance, but it will be offset with the help of Hera.

[*Maiev]

[▶ Currently studying the theory.]

“Um.”

He nodded quietly.

Since the amount is so vast, it would be enough to just arrange the theory for today. It is never too late to apply even if it starts tomorrow.

“But….”

[Becky: Ahh~ It’s difficult.]

[Becky: It’s hard. My body is heavy because I am tired…. ]

[Trixie: The body must have been originally heavy.]

[Becky: Hey.]

Type continues to come up on Trivia, which says that the theory is being learned. The situation was contradictory in many ways.

Immediately put pressure on Maiev.

[▷ It seems everyone is touching Trivia.]

[▶ He let me rest for a while.]

[▶ I’m a bit tired too.]

[▷ Maiev, it seems like you were comfortable inside the frame.]

[▶ I’ll finish it all within today.]

[▶ It’s okay if they don’t sleep.]

After pointing out the important things at a glance, I covered the trivia. Just as the maid came back.

“This is the ledger you requested.”

“It was hard. Let’s just leave.”

“Hey, boy.”

Katarina tilted her head without backing down.

“I was wondering why the boy was suddenly looking for the ledger…. I dare to ask.”

“You will find the right you deserve.”

The answer given to the head maid was short.

However, it is exactly as it was expressed. I will find the right that I deserve.

Since ‘don’t interfere with what I do’ was the condition of the bet, Scarlett has no right to say anything to me about the use of her property.

I opened the cover and examined the contents.

[ Dross ]

[ Knight Family. Donation of 3,000 gold coins. ]

“Hmm.”

As soon as I looked at the ledger, I understood.

Just as I wanted, the donations and other proceeds from Judith’s mansion were neatly organized.

This is the reason why he refused the subsidy for the Faculty of Magic. I just need to be confident and use the gold coins I obtained with my abilities.

In the case of wizards, it is possible to bring from subjugation to intermediate level artifacts. I intend to provide the artifacts of the representatives with this fund.

“The knight’s money is gone.”

First of all, I did my own scissors.

The gold coins that Scarlett had won through her missions and donations from knight families were boldly excluded.

“… ?”

However, in the midst of this, I suddenly tilted my head.

[ Isolet ]

[ Donate 1,000 gold coins to Plan Judith. ]

Isolet. This person supported the original owner of the body, not the Judith family.

About a thousand gold coins donated at a time.

It’s not a huge amount compared to other sponsorships, but we’re constantly donating in the same way almost every month.

However, the information that should have been written was not attached to Isolet. Knights, wizards, nobles, imperial family officials…. All of that.

“Katarina.”

“Yes. Young master.”

“Where is all my money?”

I asked the head maid.

“Yes?”

“The name is Isolet. Sponsored me almost every month.”

Then Katarina shook her shoulders. It was evident that he was somewhat perplexed.

“Yes…. Yes?”

“Is there a reason you are so flustered?”

“Uh….”

“It’s okay, so say it without adding or subtracting.”

“Um…. Well, because Isolet is a witch…. Everyone looks at Miss Scarlett….”

Isolet’s identity is a witch. Her curiosity grew.

In the previous world, being a ‘witch’ was a very professional and systematic job.

It was because he was a wizard who provided magic according to a free contract without being assigned to a specific group. Indeed, what would a witch in this world look like?

I asked further.

“Then, what did you do with the sponsored gold coins?”

“Ah, I’m good at that….”

Katarina slurred her words. She became the answer.

“Okay.”

It’s enough to get the gold coins back anyway. However, it remains a question of what kind of contact the man from the knight family had with the witch.

“Does the auction start at night?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes. Bocchan, but no way….”

Katarina follows her words very carefully.

“Would you like to visit the auction house?”

“There is no reason not to visit.”

The maid was worried and was about to add a few words.

Smart─

“Maid, I think you should come out for a while!”

Someone urgently knocked on the door. Katarina hurriedly went out the door.

I don’t have a hobby for eavesdropping, but thanks to the ‘optimization’ of the room, I could hear whispers reaching the door.

“Has this happened before?”

“It’s been almost ten years. What the hell were you thinking when you visited the mansion… ?”

“What should I do? He said that if he would let me see the young master for a short time, he would return safely.”

“Are you crazy? Bring a witch into the mansion? Miss Scarlett is keeping her eyes open….”

Witch.

It was not difficult to guess who the central character of the story was after hearing just two letters.

I opened the door and stepped out.

“….”

The maids freeze at once.

The next moment, they moved quickly and blocked my way. All of them have pale faces.

“Do, boy?”

“Bocchan!”

Katarina opened her mouth, sweating.

“Brother. We’re almost done. Just stay in your room a little longer.”

“What.”

“The end of social gatherings is coming soon. It is an order to have dinner with the head of the household later.”

“It’s an order. Who.”

“This is an order from Lady Scarlett.”

“Was there a command like that?”

He snorted.

I was only in the room because I had something to do, but the maids seemed to think that I was following orders well.

“… Isolet, where is that woman now?”

I’m curious about that witch.

It’s natural. What on earth does a man born into a knight’s family have to do with a witch?

“….”

No answer came back. If you walk around the social venue, you’ll run into them. Took a step

“Brother! It’s not possible! Young master!”

The maids hurriedly tried to get in my way. I mentally hung their collars in the air.

“Broken!”

Katarina’s cry is urgent. But it just flounders in place like a garment hanging on her hanger.

She left it all behind and entered the social venue.

Colorful lights, lots of people in a wide space.

Maybe it’s because I’ve only seen the characters in the academy recently, but their adorned appearances look particularly glamorous.

“The mansion just got better~”

“Treasurer, I’ll see you all in a place like this.”

“The swordsman festival subjugation begins soon.”

Stories come and go here and there.

However, in the crowd, there was one that stood out.

Scarlett, the Knight of Remnants.

Even at social gatherings, she stuck to her uniform as a police officer. However, her slender and stretched body is more elegant than any other decorations by itself.

“….”

Scarlett hardened her face as soon as she saw me. However, it did not come close to me.

“You’re wearing greaves, but you look so shiny.”

“Judith is, of course, a great knight family.”

It was because many people had already surrounded her like a fence. I didn’t even bother going that way.

Isolet, because it was her goal to find her.

“… !”

Meanwhile, the eyes of each person who finds me widen. I stop talking and freeze.

With each step I took, the social venue grew quieter and quieter. The voice of speech decreases, and the number of eyes directed at me increases.

“I can’t…. Just go back.”

“I will only look at what I need to see. Coke… !”

In that stillness, I finally found Isolet.

The aura of mana that was not captured and splashed in all directions, the pale face color and black long hair that hung down to the waist.

That guy is probably the witch Isolet.

I tried to approach her.

But then.

“Flan.”

A voice so small that only I could hear it, someone suddenly blocked my way.

Short red hair and golden eyes that radiate a strange light. She was a beautiful-looking woman.

“Why don’t you just go back to your room?”

She smiled at me, then turned her head for a moment to check Scarlett’s expression on her face.

I know this woman’s name.

To be exact, I saw it in the academy’s newspaper.

“… Janet.”

Janet Franz.

She was the leader of ‘Tianchuk’.
