Chapter 101: CH 1.12

Chapter 1. [Episode 12]

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

–Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Forces of Mildiana, Southern Territory of the Elberian Empire.

Despite the exaggerated name, the room is quite ordinary in size. Apart from the red carpet on the floor and the office desk, there are only bookcases, a table, and a sofa for visitors.

A loud voice echoed in such a room.

[I am so sorry!]

The bespectacled elf woman bowed deeply with tears in her eyes. It was as if she was afraid that if she looked up even a little she would be decapitated.

Ludio Lambert, a half-elf man sitting at his office desk watching the event, chuckles.

[Well, you can apologize to him. So, why did you tell such a lie?]

After completing his duties for the day, Ludio called the elf, who was a receptionist at the military school. This was because Theodore had misunderstood the conditions under which he could be placed in the special student slot.

She said that he would probably have to be at the top of his class in all exams to get into the special student slots. That is a big mistake.

Essentially, the special student quota is intended to welcome students who have achieved particularly outstanding results in the entrance examinations. It is not simply a matter of being at the top of the class, but that does not mean that you have to be at the top of all three examinations to become a special student.

Under the system, examinees who had achieved excellent results in a single examination or had something special to look out for were selected at the discretion of the examiner, and if the highest military commander in the city approved the selection, they would be admitted to the special student quota. This is a tradition that has continued for hundreds of years, and the system has not changed in any particular way.

However, after asking around among those who were in charge of the reception desk, this elf lady came forward with a trembling voice.

[Oh, I thought he was cold or something, since he didn’t have a letter of introduction from that …… noble or military officer, and he didn’t even seem to understand the military school system. ……!]

[So you think he was just trying to get rid of you by shaking his head at you with some random unreasonable demand?]

[Well, yes. I thought it would be better to just let it go …… since most of the people who say such things are malicious and half pranksters. I am so sorry that it has come to this!]

[I don’t want to punish you in any way. However, please do not do anything like this in the future. …… now rest assured, Second Lieutenant Lattice Maildia.]

[Your generous measures are truly painstaking! Ugh, gosh, I don’t know what I would do if I were to be sentenced to decommissioning for this or something. ……!]

The woman sobbing in front of him is a graduate of this military school, even though she looks like this. She is the daughter of an aristocrat, and just this year became a second lieutenant after entering and graduating without incident.

Even though she was a second lieutenant, it was customary for her to be assigned to this kind of chore on days such as entrance examinations. As she said, there are sometimes students who are not good candidates or are just cold callers, so the receptionists are assigned to the right level of competence.

By the way, she just turned 18. Her inexperience may have backfired. Nevertheless, it was only one of the unimportant jobs for Ludio, although he rebuked her in passing.

[Then apologize directly to him at a later date. You may step back now.]

[Yes! Thank you!]

She left the room, bowing her head repeatedly. As if in anticipation, she chuckled.

[Second lieutenant, right? She’s cute and innocent. Even though with a sharp demeanor, still polite. Humu, crisp…… nn, these cookies are pretty good.]

It was Liz, an elf girl, sitting on the visitor’s couch, idly picking cookies.

[I wish they wouldn’t add so much extra work.]

[Well, well, well. Isn’t it a great accomplishment if you consider that the girl’s lie allowed Theo to take the third-class exam? We should give her a promotion.]

Sipping tea from her teacup, Liz seemed to be completely unconcerned about the fact that she was in the military commander-in-chief’s office. It was as if she was at home.

[It’s a record that no one has matched until 500 years later, although there have been a few people who were at the top of their class on the second kind of test. …… By the way, Lizeme–]

[I told you not to call me by that name. My current name is Liz.]

[Excuse me,……. So, how was it? Theodore.]

[He was a beautiful boy with a face that was cute, dignified, and gentle at the same time. His beautiful blue hair is rare, and even though he is not an aristocrat, I fell in love with him because of the elegance of his gestures. Maybe I’ll ask him out on a date next time.]

Seeing Liz in a good mood, Ludio rubbed his brow as if he had a headache.

[I didn’t ask what you liked. I asked how you liked him.]

[He’s not from the Empire.]

She gulped down the contents of the tea without enjoying its aroma and said it as if it was nothing.

[Do you think so, too?]

[I don’t care if they are commoners or poor people. If you’re that amazing, someone will see it. As the second lieutenant said, it’s impossible that they didn’t even know the admission requirements. …… Well, I’m just speaking in general terms here, so I don’t care.]

Liz continues onward.

[I wonder if Theo is human, to begin with.]

[Is he too competent?]

[By the looks of it, Lieutenant General Lambert is still unable to make a decision, isn’t he? The level of the Empire is so low.]

[…… I don’t have the ‘eyes’ to see the essence of things like you do. Now please continue.]

[Theo-kun, he’s a human being from all angles, but …… there is something strange about him like he’s cut and pasted something on top of something else. It’s as if they’ve just pasted the information that he’s a normal human being on top of ‘something.]

Ludio nodded. He was not surprised, because his impression was similar to that.

He had no idea what kind of magic power was contained in the body of the boy named Theodore.

After all, as she says he looks like just an ordinary boy. That is why it is extraordinary. There is no way that an ordinary boy anywhere could have accomplished such a feat.

[But there are glimpses of distortions beneath the tiny glimmer of information of that human.]

[What do you mean?]

[If you’re a normal person, that’s all the information you’ll get. That ‘below’ is impossible. Julian, right? He is a dragon who is perfectly disguised as a human, but when I look at him, I can see that there is information about the dragon underneath the information about the human. So, the truth is at the bottom.]

[So you are saying that Theodore is not human because there is something different than that underneath the human information?]

[I’m sorry. It helps if you understand quickly. It’s hard to explain these things.]

Muttering, Liz reaches for a cookie. The only sound is that of her taking a bite and chewing it whole.

[But that’s all I know. To be honest, I’ve never seen anything like that before, so it could just be an accusation. Well, just take it half seriously.]

[I’ll keep that in mind. You may not have the best grades, but when it comes to intuition and the sharpness of your eye, few can match you.]

[I’m not very smart anyway. Oh, but you’re going to make me a special student, aren’t you?]

[Julian did an excellent job of blocking the aftermath of his real attack with his barrier. You have to admit, I would have done it if you hadn’t.]

[You were watching today’s test from the beginning, weren’t you, Ryu-kun? Couldn’t you have done something before Julian blew up the test center?]

[I had some idea that it was a dragon tribe, though, so I had high expectations. Well, it was more than I expected. It was wonderful.]

Ludio was like a child when he said this happily.

Liz laughs with a sigh saying he hasn’t changed since the old days.

It was only last night that Liz was asked to do a sort of internal investigation of Theodore.

He asked her to go see an interesting person who had won first place in swordsmanship and martial arts.

He had been undertaking the task of using Liz’s special eyes to investigate a person of interest for some time, so today she went to see him again with a light heart and saw something extraordinary.

[I was just thinking, you didn’t make it to the entrance exam for the rest of the magic department after all, did you? What are you going to do?]

[Oh, yes. Then it will be held soon at the military’s other training site.]

[Hmmm. Are you going to see it?]

[No, I don’t need to, since I have a general idea of the student’s abilities by the end of the day.]

He says it as if it doesn’t matter, which is a complete change from how he seemed to be enjoying himself earlier. He isn’t interested.

He has always been this way. He is blindly enthusiastic about what he is interested in, but if he is not interested in something, he will erase it from his memory.

It is often the case with those with genius skin, it is too extreme.

Liz does not like that part of him. He’s interested in her because of her ‘eye’, but without it, it would have been utterly different.

[Liz, please continue to watch Theodore carefully. He doesn’t appear to mean any harm, but just in case.]

[Ho-ho-ho.]

[And one more thing. I wish you wouldn’t call me that.]

[Why? I’ve been calling you that since I was little.]

[I am not the same as when I was in Tsefte Aria. In the first place, there is no one else who knows my position and speaks to me as openly as you do, and if you continue to behave in this way, they’ll inevitably suspect your true identity.]

[I’m so tired of it. Okay, okay, okay. Can I go home now, too? Ludio-sensei!]

[Yeah, be my guest.]

Liz popped the remaining cookie into her mouth and suddenly stopped as she put her hand on the door.

[I heard that the number of missing elves is getting pretty crazy these days, huh?]

[……I told you to stay out of that one, didn’t I?]

[It’s no wonder the army is so incompetent. All the elves are scared. Not all elves are like some other people who have to worry more about the attacker who is a big shot in the military and has stupid magical powers.]

[It is very dangerous. Please don’t get involved any further. Depending on the circumstances, the very alliance between humans and elves that was formed ……100 years ago will crack.]

[So I should help you avoid that, shouldn’t I?]

[No need.]

Liz frowned when she was told once and for all.

[Oh, yes, yes, I see. Then do your best to solve the case, Lieutenant General Lambert.]

After watching Liz leave the room, Ludio let out a sigh.

[The military is incompetent ……? Not at all, I really can only say that. Including myself, the Commander-in-Chief.]

– – –

Midnight. The town of Mildiana was quiet and still as if the daytime bustle was a lie.

It was at such a time of day that second lieutenant Maildia wandered out of the familiar bar with a wobbly gait.

[Hey, Lattice, you’re drinking too much.]

[Shut up …… damn it, why am I …… ugh, that cocky student made a big embarrassment for me.]

[Theodore-kun, right? He’s the talk of the town in the military. I saw him from a distance, but he was cute.]

[What’s so great about that slender guy…… I want a taller, cooler guy with a nice, low voice~]

[Oh, yes, yes, yes. All right.]

Lattice left Ludio Lambert’s room and immediately went to a bar to drink wine. She was very happy to see the wine.

She’s always been a serious person. Just as she was about to graduate and finally become a second lieutenant, she received a harsh baptism from Theodore.

She was surprised that a commoner with no family name would not show the slightest sign of respect toward her, an aristocrat, and look at her like she was some kind of hideous monster. That was all Lattice could think about. Her family was a family of barons, and since her name was well-known, people always pampered her.

She rarely spoke to commoners. Although there were a few commoners among her classmates, the percentage of aristocrats was higher. And since aristocrats tend to cluster with other aristocrats, commoners are naturally ostracized. She grew up in an environment where this was the norm.

She knew that the commoners would talk behind their backs about the nobles. It was funny to hear them whispering to each other as if they didn’t even know how good the elves’ hearing was, and when she asked them if they had anything to complain about, they would instantly shrug and sneak away. She was able to graduate without any problems.

It was humiliating for her, such a noble person, to be appointed as a receptionist for the entrance examination, only to be scolded by Lieutenant General Ludio Lambert, the object of my admiration and envy. It was a disgrace. Just remembering it made her gut churn. That was why she had indulged in deep drinking.

[Miriam. Next time, we’re going for a drink.]

[How drunk do you have to be to say such a thing? How can any restaurant still be open at this hour? If you weren’t familiar with that bar, they would have kicked you out immediately. And put yourself in my shoes, I’m exhausted.]

[……Damn.]

This elf named Miriam, who is lending her shoulder, was also a second lieutenant by rank. She also comes from a noble family and is one of her friends from military school. They often get together like this and hang out in the bar.

Then Miriam suddenly stopped. Lattice, who was no longer able to stand on her feet, nearly fell because of Miriam who was standing still. She managed to regain her footing and gave her best friend a reproachful look.

[Hey, it’s not safe!]

[……]

Miriam does not answer anything.

Even Lattice’s drunken head felt something was wrong.

[Miriam? Hey, what’s up ……, what? This is ….…]

It was dark in the city with no light source other than moonlight, but she also felt as if her eyes had suddenly clouded over. She could not see her best friend’s face, which was so close to hers.

[…..Why such a ……]

It was not long before she had her doubts. Miriam, who had been standing still until then, suddenly started walking.

[Miriam? Hey, where are you going? Are you leaving?]

Her steps were unsteady, reminiscent of her earlier self.

Lattice, completely sober from the pleasant intoxication, grabbed her colleague by the shoulders.

[Hey, are you okay?]

[There are not enough drops.]

Miriam speaks in a voice that she has never heard in all the years they have been together.

The voice was not the usual beautiful one, but a mixture of a man’s and a woman’s voice that was extremely unpleasant.

[I can’t do this. I can’t face my beloved goddess.]

[Hey, Miriam? What are you? Are you drunk ……? Ha-ha-ha, you’ve had too much to drink.]

[Echoing in the dark depths of the earth, the end of the demon. The tears of the white wings dedicated to the Supreme One.]

She was expressionless as she continued to mumble and mutter incomprehensible things. She was looking in a place and mumbling something strange.

This is not normal drunkenness. Then is there a hallucinogenic effect to this haze? She can feel the slightest hint of magic.

Lattice was shaking with incomprehension, but managed not to give up her thoughts as a result of her training in the military.

[Miriam, I’m sorry. It hurts a little, but bear with me!]

With magic power in her hand, she grabs Miriam’s head in an eagle grip. Instantly, purple electricity gushed from the palm of her hand.

It’s a simple technique of destruction. If it is a mild hallucination or brainwashing technique, it should be able to destroy it – and it will.

However, Miriam’s hand unexpectedly reached out and struck Lattice in the chest. She was blown backward and hit her body against the wall of the building.

[Gahaha ……!]

Intense pain and a situation so puzzling erode Lattice’s head. It is as if she were having some kind of bad dream.

How nice it would be if this was due to drunkenness.

[The land of the dead is purified. The goddess will descend to a place suitable for her. But it is not enough. There are not enough drops.]

Miriam mumbled as she approached Lattice, grabbing her by the hair and forcing her to look up, unable to move because of the blow to her head.

[We need the drops.]

[Hiu……]

Second lieutenant Lattice’s consciousness was interrupted there – and then.
