Chapter 12: Volume 1 - CH 12

CHAPTER 12 「THE ELVES’ INTENTIONS, AND –」

TL note: this is a regular chapter for today!

An Elf woman wearing glasses lowers her head deeply with teary eyes.

It may sound grandiose, but the room is fairly spacious. Apart from the red carpet on the floor and the office desk, there is only a bookcase and a table and sofa prepared for guests.

A loud voice rang through the room.

「I-i deeply apologize!」

An elf woman wearing glasses bows deeply with teary eyes. as if she might get beheaded if she looked up at him.

Ludio Lambert, a half-elf man sitting at his desk watching with a smile.

「Maa, please apologize to him. So why did you tell such a lie? 」

After finishing his day’s duties, Ludio called in an elf who was a recipient at the military school. This is because Theodore misunderstood the conditions that will put him in scholarship.

She said that he would not be eligible for the scholarship unless he was first in every examination. That’s a big mistake.

Originally, the scholarship student quota was intended to welcome applicants who had excellent results in the entrance examination. You just have to be on the top list, but that doesn’t mean you have to be at the top of all three.

Under the system, applicants who achieved excellent results in one examination or who had something special were selected at the discretion of the examiner, and if the highest military commander in the city admitted them, they would be included in the scholarship. This is a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years, and the system has not changed.

But when he went around asking about the receptionists, the said Elf came forward shaking.

「A-ano…. He didn’t have a letter of introduction from a noble or a military officer, and didn’t even understand the military school system, so I thought it was something suspicious ……!」

「So you tried to get rid of him by making unreasonable demands?」

「Ye-yes. Most of the people who say things like that are pranksters. So I thought it would be better if I put them in their place…… I-i’m really sorry that this happened!」

「Maa, you’re right, and I’m not going to punish you. However, Don’t let this happen again. ……Please rest assured, Second Lieutenant Lattice Meldia」

「Your tolerance is greatly obliged!! Uh, what should I do if I am told to retire from the army ……! 」

She cries from her eyes, and even though she looks like this, she still from this military school. She was a daughter of an aristocrat and had just entered the school without difficulty, graduated without difficulty, and became a second lieutenant this year.

Although she was a second lieutenant, it was customary for for to do such chores on the day of entrance examinations and so on. As she says, there are some nasty students who makes fun of the exam or or pranksters, so a person with a suitable ability is placed as a receptionist.

By the way, she is just 18 years old. Her lack of experience may have backfired on her. However, it was just one of the trivial things for Ludio

「Then, please apologize to him in person later. You can go back now. 」

「Yes!　Thank you very much!!」

She bowed several times and left the room. A laughter echoed while he was watching it.

「Second Lt. Lattice? She’s cute and innocent〜. She usually have a clear attitude, but she’s now so much embarrassed….. Hamu, crispy …… this cookie is pretty good. 」

It was Liz, an Elf girl who is sitting on the couch and casually picking cookies.

「I hope we don’t have to increase unnecessary work」

「Well. Isn’t it a big achievement if you think that she lied and triggered Theo to take 3 kinds of exams? she could get a promotion.」

Liz, who said such thing now gobbled up the tea she poured into the teacup, she seemed quite unconcerned that this is the military commander-in-chief’s office. It’s as if she’s staying at home.

「It was a record that no one could achieve until 500 years ago. There were some people who were the top in the two exams, but …… by the way Lizeme.」

「I told you not to call me by that name. My current name is 『Liz』desuー」

「…… excuse me. So, how was it. That Theodore.」

「Yes, he was a handsome boy who looked cute and dignified, yet had an irresistible gentle face!! It is rare to have beautiful blue hair, and I fell in love with him even though he is not an aristocrat but his gesture are elegant I wonderー if I’m going to have a date next time~」

When Luz spoke in good spirits, Ludio loosened his eyebrows as if he had a headache.

「I didn’t asked about your taste. You came in contact with him, so how was it」

「He’s not a person from the empire〜」

Instead of enjoying the aroma of the tea, she empties the contents and spoke as if it was nothing.

「You think that too」

「Un. No matter how ordinary people are, or how poor they are, if they are so great, they will catch someone’s eyes. As Lt. Lattice said, it’s unthinkable that you didn’t even know the admission guidelines …… Well, this is just a generalization, so it doesn’t matter. 」

Liz continues.

「I wonder if Theo-kun is really a human in the first place.」

「Is it a metaphor of being too capable? Or?」

「Isn’t it possible that you can’t judge that yet〜?　The level of the empire is so low〜」

「…I don’t have an 『Eye』 that can see the true nature of things, unlike you. Please continue.」

「Theo-kun is human, no matter how you look at it …… but I feel as if he was something that was copy-pasted. It is like putting a bunch of information on someone that makes him 『Something』like a normal person?」

Ludio nods. It was because he had the similar impression.

He had no idea what magic is inside the body of a boy named Theodore.

After all, as she says, he looks just an ordinary boy from every angle. That’s why it’s abnormal. There is no way an ordinary boy could accomplish such a feat.

「But there’s a little bit of distortion that are hidden and visible under the information of that human.」

「What do you mean by that?」

「If you are an ordinary person, that information is all you need. That『bottom』is impossible. That Julian? He’s like a complete dragon, but I can see that there’s information about dragons under his human guise. The truth is at the bottom.」

「So there’s something different under that human information, so Theodore isn’t a human being」

「Yes. If you understand it quickly, it will be helpful〜. It’s difficult to explain this kind of thing」

Liz reaches out to for the cookie as she mutters. The sound of chewing the whole thing echoes.

「But that’s all I know. To be honest, it is my first time to see that kind of thing, so it maybe just a false accusation. Well, take it with a grain of salt. 」

「I’ll keep that in mind. You don’t have good academic performance, but when it comes to intuition and eyesight, only few can beat you. “

「I’m quite slow. Ah, but you’re going to give me a scholarship, aren’t you? 」

「It was amazing that the barrier prevented the aftermath of Julian’s serious attack. It couldn’t have been possible without your strong magical power. I have to admit …… If you didn’t do it, I would have done it.」

「Ryu-kun was looking at today’s exam from the beginning. . Couldn’t you do something before Julian killed the test site? 」

「I knew somehow that he is a dragon race, so I was looking forward to it. It was more than I expected. It’s excellent.」

Ludio is happy like a child.

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

It was last night that Liz was asked to do something like a spy investigation on Theodore.

She was told to see him because he is an interesting person who won the top prize in swordsmanship and martial arts.

So she went to see it without taking it seriously today and saw something ridiculous.

「Speaking of which, we couldn’t do the entrance examination for the remaining magic category, right? What are you gonna do?」

「Aah. In the near future, it will be held at another military field. 」

「Fu-un. Are you going to see it? 」

「No, I don’t need to because I’ve got a rough idea of the examinee’s ability today」

It is totally different from his happy appearance just now, it’s as if they doesn’t matter. In fact, He’s not really interested.

He has always been like this. Blindly absorbed in what they is interested in, but if it ain’t interesting, they erase it from their memory.

It’s often the case with geniuses, but he is too extreme.

Liz doesn’t like that part of him. For he is interested in her because of her 『eyes』, but without them he would have been completely indifferent.

「Now Liz, keep an eye on Theodore. I don’t see any harm in him, but just in caseー.」

「Yep yep」

「And one more thing. I’d like you to stop calling me that」

「Why? Lyu-kun is Lyu-kun. I’ve called you that ever since I was little. 」

「It’s not the same as when I was in Tsefte Aria. In the first place, there is no one who knows my position and talks to me like you do, so if you continue to behave like that, They’ll naturally doubt your background.

「Mouー it’s troublesome. Okay, okay. Well then, can I go home now? Ludio-sensei.」

「Sure, go ahead.」

Liz threw the remaining cookies into her mouth and stopped when she reached for the door.

「Oh, by the way, the number of elf disappearances these days isn’t it pretty laughable, isn’t it?」

「….. I told you not to get involved with that matter, right?」

「The army is incompetent, so it can’t be helped. Every elf is scared. All the elves have to worry about the criminals who attacked with some magic in the army it’s like somebody with a powerful position are the perpetrators.」

「It’s very dangerous. Don’t thrust your neck any further. Depending on the situation …… The alliance between the human and the elves that was formed 100 years ago would be broken. 」

「so I ought to work with you to prevent it?」

「No need」

Liz frowned when she was told off.

「Aah, yes yes, that’sー how is it. Then, I hope you will do your best to solve the case, Lieutenant General Lambertー」

Ludio sighed after seeing Liz leave the room.

「The army is incompetent huh……. Really, I can only say that. including myself, the Commander in Chief. 」

☆

Midnight. The city of Mildiana is dead silent, almost as if the noise of the day had been a lie.

At that hour, Lt. Lattice Meldia came out of an old bar with shaky steps.

「Hey Lattice, you’re drinking too much」

「Shut upー……. Damn this, why am I…… I was humiliated because of that sassy student.」

Theodore isn’t it? Even in the military, they talk about him. After all, he has the strength that might be as strong as someone from 500 years ago, right? I saw it from a distance, but he is cute.」

「What’s so good about that slick guy …… I want one that’s Tall, handsome, low-pitched, and fantastic!」

「Aah, yes yes. Understood understood. 」

After leaving Ludio Lambert’s room, Lattice just rushed to the bar to pour wine.

She’s been serious about until now. Just as she persevered and finally graduated and became a second lieutenant, she received a severe baptism from Theodore.

Instead of showing a little respect to me, who was a noble, even though he is a commoner, he would look at me like a monstrous creature. Lattice thought about it in her heart. Her parents’ house is a viscount’s, and since her name was fairly well known, she was always loved by everyone.

She hardly ever spoken to the commoners. Although there were some commoners among her classmates, there were more nobles. And since nobles flock among themselves, naturally the commoners are driven away. That’s the environment she grew up in.

She knew that commoners would speak ill of nobles behind their backs. She laughed at the because those people didn’t even know the elves’ has good ears and were whispering like they wouldn’t be heard, and when she asked them if they had any complaints, they would immediately shrink and sneak away. And she graduated just like that.

I was humiliated because I was appointed as a receptionist for the entrance examination, I was scolded by Lieutenant General Ludio Lambert, who was the object of my admiration and envy. What a shame. The mere recollection of it made my bowels boil. That’s why I was drowning in liquor.

「Miriam. Let’s go for a drink next time.」

「You can say that when you’re not drunk. How could any shop be still open at this hour? If you’re not familiar with the bar, you’ll be quickly kicked out. Put yourself in my place, and I’m tired of it. 」

「Damn……damn」

This Elf named Miriam, who was lending me her shoulders, is also a Second Lieutenant. She comes from a noble family and has been a friend of mine since the military school. We often hang out in bars together like this.

Miriam suddenly stopped. Lattice, who has lost her footing, is almost falling down because of Miriam, who has stood up. She managed to straighten herself up and give her best friend a reproachful look.

「Hey, it’s a little dangerous ~」

「……」

Miriam doesn’t say anything.

She felt something was wrong, she thought inside of her drunken head.

「Miriam? Hey, what’s …… what? This ……」

It was already dark in the city, where there was no light except the moonlight, but aside from that, she felt as if there are eyes that were suddenly overcast. She can’t even see her close friend’s face.

「……Mist? Why is this…..」

While wondering for a while. Miriam, who had been upright and immobile, suddenly began to walk.

「Miriam? Hey, where are you going? Are you leaving?」

Her steps were unstable. The way she walked was so unsteady that it made her remind herself earlier.

Lattice, who was completely sober, grabbed her colleague by the shoulder.

「Hey, are you okay?」

「There are not enough drops」

Miriam begins to talk in a voice that she has never heard before.

The sound was not the usual beautiful one, but rather a harsh and unpleasant one as if the voices of a man and a woman were mixed.

「This isn’t right. I can’t face my beloved goddess.」

「Hey, Mi-miriam? What are you doing? Are you drunk ……? A-ahaha, you drank too much. 」

「The end of the demon that echoes in the dark ground. Scarlet red tears, White wings dedicated to the Supreme Oneー」

She was expressionless as she muttered something that she couldn’t understand. She’s looking for a place that isn’t there, while muttering.

It’s not a normal way to get drunk. So is this mist is also Hallucinogenic? I can feel a little magic.

Lattice trembled in confusion, but as a result of her military upbringing, she managed not to give up thinking

「Miriam, sorry. It will hurt a little, but hold on! 」

I put magical power in my hand and grabbed Miriam’s head. At the moment, a purple light rose from my palm.

It is a simple offensive spell. If it’s a technique that causes mild hallucinations or brainwashing, it should be able to destroy it ――.

But Miriam’s hand suddenly stretched out and smashed Lattice’s chest. She flew backward and hit herself against the wall of the building.

「Gawa……..!」

Excruciating pain and the confusing situation eroded Lattice’s head. … as if she was dreaming something bad.

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

「The white wings purify the the filthy earth. to make a suitable place for the goddess to descend. But it’s not enough. There are not enough drops.」

Miriam grumbled as she approached Lattice and grabbed her hair and raised her face, which she could hardly move because she had hit her head.

「I need a drop」

「Hiu……」

Lieutenant Lattice’s consciousness fades awayー.
