208 Chapter 14-4 Anomaly Matches

"Speaking of which, why were Master Lyle and Luna being made to do the exam at our mansion?

Finally, to hear this too, I asked the question lightly, but the Caesars looked very sinister.

"A quick story pissed my mother off. Well, we're angry too... and finally, the temper has something to do with it."

When I asked her what it had to do with me, she said that Lyle was thinking nasty things about me, Maria and Luna. However, he said that the accuser was with Luna, so that in itself would put him out.

"From time to time, those two were full of problems. Once we talked about punishing him, we let him clean the Royal Castle's luggage storage... and then we talked about carrying the rubbish from Tenma's mansion. I had Cliff and Aina oversee the two of them, but that's when Luna found gloves from somewhere to use them. Luna said she found two pairs, so she gave them to Lyle too."

I somehow had a bad feeling when I heard about the gloves that were in the mansion. Master Caesar continued,

"Nothing happened at Tenma's Mansion, but then there was a fire at the Royal Castle garbage dump. The cause was the gloves used by Luna and Lyle"

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished immediately, so he said there was little damage except the garbage burned, but he said it was noisy inside the temporarily royal castle.

"Is that my responsibility?

"No, it would be the responsibility of Luna and Lyle, and Cliff and Aina, who were directors. And then, Luna's parents, so it's me and Isabella."

You know... Master Caesar has made his residence right,

"Sorry, the gloves Luna and Lyle used on their own were damaged and impossible to repair for us. And say something unsolicited, but don't transfer those gloves to anyone or release information. That's pretty dangerous, depending on how you use it."

Those gloves activate magic so easily if you shed magic, it's possible to commit acts of terrorism… I don't really want to think about them, but it's also possible to use someone whose target isn't very alert like a child. Besides, even if it's not gloves, even cloths like handkerchiefs can be applied, so it could mean tailoring to terrorist personnel before you know it. And most importantly, wear it unknowingly, like Luna, and you're also likely to have an accident.

"Okay. There must have been three more spares, so I'll dispose of them all."

Master Caesar said that if you don't spread or transfer it, you can have it as it is, but it could be in someone's hands before you know it like this one, so if you don't want to use it, you can be more comfortable disposing of it.

When I said that, I asked why Master Caesar wouldn't use it.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. At least for me."

I used to make gloves in the dungeon of Seigen with half the play, but I haven't used them since then. The reason for this is that it's not user-friendly, and I think people who are probably, but somewhat confident in magic, would feel the same way.

"Anyone can use that if you shed magic, but the magic itself can only be enough to set fire to it. Besides, it would be a procedure of flowing magic into gloves, converting magic into magic with gloves, and releasing magic, but in the normal way, those three steps are two. Besides, when you get used to it, you can unleash magic in almost every step of the way."

If you convert the magic in your body into magic as it is, you will skip the first process. Moreover, if you get used to it, it would be about a step of the glove in time, since it is also possible to proceed almost simultaneously from the conversion of magic to the action of releasing it, or to reduce the time of conversion. Well, even when it comes to time, it doesn't matter how many seconds it is zero comma, but sometimes that time can be life-saving, so you can't fool around. And most importantly,

"Gloves only release predetermined magic, so they're less free."

Because of the use that magic can be used if magic is shed, it can also be activated when attempting to use other magic. If it activates at the same time, it's still fine, but if it's bad, it could be both underdeveloped and failing, or the worst kind of magic would erupt. It may seem convenient, but the truth is, those gloves are a failure.

"So you should dispose of it"

As much as I'm worried about having it, it's neater to dispose of it. All the more so if that's what you don't use.

Dear Caesar told me that this would compensate me for production costs, etc., but I refused to want it because it was a prototype made with half the play and the ingredients are also demonic nuclei such as commercial gloves and goblins. If it were compensation from the royalty, it would not be to the extent that it added a technical fee to the cost of materials. That's how many tens of times that amount should be offered. That's right, me too, I'm hesitant to be given a lot of money for a failure I made with half the play. All the more so if that's what you get to know.

Master Caesar didn't seem convinced, but this story ended in the form of another apology by Master Caesar because Isabella persuaded him to come in between.

We then continued to bicker for a while, but noticed that Maria's sermon was looping, so we decided to dissolve it there.

Before I went back to the mansion, I stabbed my grandfather and Jeanne with a nail telling them not to do 'Marriage Tales with Primera' in the future...

"Brother! You're marrying Primera!

Luna, who was still at the mansion, led to an early splash of stories she wanted to keep secret.

The noise in the mansion after that was amazing. What's amazing is that after the perseverance of Amur and Aura's pursuit (which only took Jeanne because she felt like she was willing to marry Jeanne as well) waiting in the mansion, Uncle Mark and I had heard stories about us returning, so we were supposed to run away from the two Amur Aura and Kukri village groups. Well, the one who escaped in was his room, so it was going to be noisy in front of the door... where he escaped into the dimension bag and left the carriage there for another day or so.

But after a day or so, my expectation that I would be somewhat grown up was betrayed, and I came out and was caught early by Amur, and Aura contacted Uncle Mark and the others and ended up surrounded by everyone to explain. Well, the uncles seemed to have been explained by Grandpa during the day that the story of the marriage was that Maria had set me up to keep an eye on me, only to make fun of me all the way through (though it was still a woe), so I gave him the booze and he left... Amur was pretty persistent. Even if it was just to be careful, it seemed hooked that I couldn't be present on the spot. It's just that it usually takes a long time to fix the mood, but this time it was the salvation that got back to normal as soon as possible because Leni was there.

Two weeks after the disturbance of "Marriage Tales," the school party day came.

From the mansion, Amy's parental deputy and associates, so me and Grandpa will be in. At first, the story came out of part that Amur would also participate in the name of Amy's escort, but that it was strange for the Viscount's warrant to say that she was a civilian escort, and the story went on. Amur seemed very sorry, but sometimes it was Maria-sama who pointed out that it was strange, and she was pulling back very hard. It should be noted that Mr. Leni said he would make it to the critical point, and a few days after the disturbance he returned to the south. There were days when there was light snow in the Wang capital, but even if it started to fall hard, the amount of snow would be fine as we approached the south.

"Well, shall we go? Uncle, please."

"Leave it to me."

I would travel by carriage to school, but this was decided to go in Ryden as usual. However, at first I tried to be your man, but as an adventurer, I followed Eina's advice that I should stop because I would participate as the head of the Ootri family anyway, and suddenly asked Uncle Mark.

This was also initially said that Amur would do it, or that Maria would send someone from the Kingsguard, but Amur would not be good for the same reason as the escort, and even more so that the Kingsguard would not be good for this because there would be criticism from other nobles, so Uncle Mark was chosen because he was an official of the Ootri family and could not complain from anyone.

However, my uncle is also busy working at the Inn (because a large number of officials from the party's participants came to Wang Capital, and that's why my uncle's Inn also had more guests), so Lyden and the carriage are supposed to put them in dimension bags and magic bags after getting them to school, and my uncle is supposed to go back to work.

As we approached the school, there was a considerable increase in the number of carriages that we thought were participants, but we were able to get to the school faster than we thought because the horses of the other participants gave way so many times because they were scared of Ryden.

When I arrived at the school, I was supposed to be first checked for invitations in front of the gate and be escorted straight to the carriage yard, but before that I bagged Ryden, so the destination changed towards the holding room. My uncle and I broke up there and were asked for precautions in the holding room while on the move by the guide who came instead. Apparently, the rooms guided are divided by student grades, and Amy's officials, who had top grades, said they would be the closest rooms to the venue. The room is a place used by students' officials who graded from the top to the tenth, but they haven't come here yet except for us. By the way, the second best performer seems to be Teeda, but in the case of royalty, she often has a dedicated room, and she said she won't be coming to this room this year because Luna is also here.

Waiting in the guided room, Amy came right up. He said that there had never been a civilian and top grades, and that he was sometimes annoyed before the party, but thanks to his friends in the class, starting with Tida in the next seat, there was little direct damage. Also, he said he didn't have voter ideas, so he could take teachers, or the influence of the three fools went in a good direction.

For a while, as I listened to Amy's school and dorm stories, etc., other students' officials continued to come to the room. It was as I thought, but they didn't have any students besides Amy who were civilians and top performers, each wearing fancy clothes. For once, they say students are supposed to wear uniforms, but they honestly don't seem to be going to follow the rules. On the contrary, some students occasionally laugh at Amy in her uniform openly, so maybe she thinks she can compete with her finances for what she can't do with her grades. Well, three of the eight students who came in have those feelings in their eyes. All girls. There's another female student, but the student is bickering in an atmosphere that feels good with the male student he came in with, so maybe he doesn't have to be hostile to Amy. I checked with Amy to make sure she didn't sound like any of the other people involved, but she said the girl student who felt hostile was after Teeda, and she was sticking with Amy every once in a while, and the other one said the boy student who was bickering was her fiancée.

"Speaking of which, I forgot Amy had a present!

When I deliberately told him to sound surrounded, he could see that my gaze had gathered at the same time. It's not a good idea to bring things into these places, but I have the attendant check in advance to get permission.

"This cloak. I think it's the right size, but try it on."

What I had prepared was a hooded black cape, which also has buttons so it can be fastened around the front of the chest.

"Uh... it seems a little big, but I'm fine. Thank you."

"It's a growing season, so you'll be just fine soon. The cloak is made of the dragon's leather with a Wyburn flying film on the back, and the buttons are processed from the ground dragon's brow. The buttons are irrelevant, but thanks to the dragon's leather, they have excellent fire and water resistance and, besides, some magic resistance, so it's convenient. After that, the family crest of the Ootri family was also kept small on the edge."

I have a family crest in the lower left corner on the front side but it is about the size of a cobble, so it may be hard to notice from a glance. Well, I don't know if I can make it in, so if you know it's what I sent you, that's fine.

All the students and officials who heard the material used for the cape were surprised. Whatever, instead of the last few years, all five of the crusaded dragon species have been on official records over the last hundred years. Three dragons, one dragon, and one dragon zombie. Among them, only eighty years old ground dragons had the material sold out decently. The others were crusades between me and my grandfather, and I almost made them my own, except for the ones I sold or gave away to the royal family and to someone I knew. I mean, it's not on the market.

In demons near the dragon breed, Wyburn goes out a few times a year, but only my officials and the House Borderline Bo family recently got the material, and Hydra is crusaded about once every few years, but since it is highly rare as dragon breed, it is often secured by those who crusade.

For this reason, the cape that I gave Amy is not something that I can buy if I give her money, but something that the students in this room and their associates will never get, no matter how much they want.

"Grandpa, someone's coming. Maybe someone from the royal family."

"Like."

Seems like a few students associates are aware of it, but I can hear the sound of armor approaching us from a distance for a few. Probably a close guard. Even the "appraisal" I used just in case, is out with the Kingsguard. However, being protected by that Kingsguard is, as expected, royal... more numerous than I expected. At the head of that royal family is

"Sire!"

He was king. In a story I had heard beforehand, the King and Maria did not attend this party, and the participants were with the schoolchildren Tida and Luna, as well as the two parents Caesar and Isabella, but something may have changed.

"You don't have to kneel. Your costume is dirty."

Parents who noticed the king knelt instantly, followed by the students on their knees, but the king stopped it. By the way, me and Grandpa stayed in the chair. For once, I let my hips float once when I saw everyone try to kneel, but I thought the king would make me stop, so I lowered my hips the moment I nearly opened my mouth.

Amy said that she was trying to get on her knees with the other officials and students, but the moment she stood in the chair I put my hand on Amy's shoulder and let her sit in the chair in the same way... but the moment I put my hand on Amy's shoulder, Tida's eyes sharpened. When I let go of my hand, it went back to normal, so when I was amused and did the same thing a few times, my grandfather and kings found out, and Amy saw me with suspicious eyes.

While I was doing that, the Kings came near me,

"Teeda's funny, so I don't mind making fun of her... Tenma, I need a favor."

"Can I say no to that?

"No, even if you listen as much as you talk..."

Before I asked for every king's favor, I tried to say no because it didn't seem like a lot of things.

"Tenma, it's a serious story. Could you just listen to me?

"Okay. Sit down, please."

At Maria's request, I brought three chairs nearby. For Maria, Caesar and Isabella, respectively. When she gently pulled the chair provided for Maria, Maria sat down with a gentle thank you. Isabella's chair was the same as Caesar's. Tida and Luna are students at school, so I brought myself a nearby chair to sit in, feeling as if I was getting used to it even during the holidays. Teeda was just trying to sit next to Amy subtly, but Luna was breaking in hard to secure next to Amy. And praised Amy for the cape she was wearing as she was, and Amy also started talking about the cape again, so Tida was talking to Amy over Luna in a big way.

"Look, Alex. Why don't you sit down?"

"Ha ha... hmm? Oh, I'm sorry."

The king tried to get himself a chair when Grandpa told him to. I saw it. Amy stood up and tried to pick up the chair, but shortly after Amy stood up, Tida also stood up and let Amy sit in the chair and prepare the chair herself instead. Maria and Caesar looked satisfied with the way things were going... but the moment Tida took a seat and turned her back, Tida, who had returned, had lost sight of her chair because Luna had turned away Tida's chair. Well, Luna was laughing when she saw Tida panicking, so she immediately noticed the mischief and was putting the chair back in position.

Seeing Tida like that, Luna was laughing more and more...... even if she didn't get angry now, she thought so after looking into Tida and Maria's eyes that she would definitely be a big eyeball after returning to the royal castle.

"Luna, we're not the only ones here. Come on."

"Sorry......"

Luna was pretty depressed to see that Master Caesar was seriously angry.

"I'd like to ask... no, I'd better tell you this from Caesar"

"Yes, Mother... Tenma, what we want to ask for is a match with the top graders this year"

"Ha... I don't mind if that's about it, but what do you do with the rules?

Dear Caesar... or a royal favor, and since I take care of you on a daily basis, I don't have a problem with that, but the rules were a little rough.

"Is this a one-on-ten anomaly match......"

"Can't you?

"I can't, but don't you have an injured person? No, not that I can't help it, but that the students are worried about each other?

What scares me about mass warfare is the pulling of legs between those unfamiliar with fighting in multiple ways. I also checked with Amy and Tida, but the school students say they'll play practice matches from one to five of the same rules as the militant tournament, but they've never fought in pairs of ten.

I confirmed to Dear Caesar from those thoughts that this seemed to have been taken as a provocation by several students and officials, and the air in the holding room began to tingle.

"Hmm. Sure, I'd rather worry about Tenma. But the students also have quite a bit of field experience. Besides, with this look, I guess I'm about as ready as I am to get hurt. Well, I just want you to do whatever you can."

"I'll be as careful as I can... but let each be prepared to say that the game or self-responsibility is fundamental"

When she said she would accept the terms, Caesar confirmed them to the students and their associates who were there and gave them a drink of the terms on the spot. Later, he heard that the story of this match originally came from officials of the top graders' students, and several teachers also endorsed it, meaning that a request from the school side led him to speak to the king early in the morning. By the way, he said only some students knew about the game, and more than half of the students in this room felt like they just found out.

"By the way, Dear Maria. It's the reformist nobles and nobles and school associates who don't have any good feelings for me, right?

When asked Maria in a low voice, Maria nodded with a small sigh. If you are an aristocrat who can move a king, and in addition become a aristocrat who seems hostile to me in it, every bit of it and that person will be limited.

"Are you the Duke of Durham?

When she gave her name, Maria nodded again. As the people learned that I was royal, my support for royalty increased, and the reformers decreased. Furthermore, I can also relate to the nobles who are at the core of the neutrals because of their protection of Jeanne, and through me the royalty and neutralism have become friendly relations.

In some of those circumstances, some of the nobles who belonged to the reformists disobeyed and moved to other factions, greatly reducing the reformist's voice and, at the same time, the power of the Duke of Durham, the centre of the reformists.

"So, harass the game...?

"Yeah, no matter how temperamental, you thought it would be hard to deal with the students without getting hurt,"

If I hurt my students, I guess I'm going to use that as an excuse to sharpen the power of the royalty a little bit. If the plan fails, there is no damage to the Duke of Durham's side. Low return but I guess it feels like saying no risk.

"Well, I'll do my best for now. And by saying... Tida, Amy, be gentle with your hands... na"

The other students were thrilled with feelings like willingness, but the two of them who saw my smile looked pale.
