61 Red Demon Stone

The room through which Ain and the others were put seemed to be the personal space of the chief professor, with a soft couch of good quality.

However, a number of preservation cases are available, some of which also contain demonic stones, which attract Ain's interest.

He prepares the coffee and hands it to Ain and the others.

"Well...... even introduce yourself first. My name is Oz, and I am the chief professor of Ist Grand Magic here. The main area of major is Demon Stone Energy. We study the energy of demonic stones."

The chief professor named Oz was a famous man among researchers. He has been blessed with research talent since he was younger, and he is so talented that even Ishtarika can't replace him.

"Eh. I..."

Ein was thinking of his pseudonym. Its name is Ike...... it's called the Katima thing, Ein has discovered anew that he doesn't have the sense to think about his name. The only thing I could think of was the degree to which I messed with the name below a bit.

"Oh, excuse me. Could you please remove the magic props that have to do with that pseudo first? As I looked into it, in my letter of introduction from Professor Emeritus Majorica, I had the information" His Royal Highness Prince Ain "… I understand the approximate situation"

"Hey, hey, Mr. Chris. Mr. Majolica, I thought you said that..."

"You didn't say.... at all"

I wanted you to be the first to say it if you could. You felt a little bad for your heart.

"... then I'll take it off"

Ein removed a special magic prop from Majorica, imitating it and Chris and Dill removed it as well. The magic prop is in the form of a ring, so you won't have a hard time removing it.

"Then I'll change it. Welcome, His Royal Highness Prince Ain. I apologize for what I just said to you as an 'important customer'. There were others besides me, so I took that kind of action."

"I think that was the right thing to do. I appreciate your concern."

That's above all, Oz laughed small.

"Then introduce yourself... because I don't seem to need you, all three of you?

"Then from me. Christina Wernstein...... I am in the Marshal's seat at the Knights of Istarica. See you later."

"I'm Dill Grayshire. He was the son of Lloyd, a former Marshal, and is now assigned to serve as a dedicated escort apprentice for Master Ein at the Knights of Ishtarika."

Somehow Katima didn't open her mouth, so Ein urged two of the escorts to introduce herself. After the two of them are finished, Katima finally opens her mouth.

"... I am Katima von Ishtarika. It is a great honor to meet the distinguished Professor Oz."

——

Katima greeted her gracefully as a lady, as if she were a princess of one country. For the first time Ain't seen not only the trick, but the way he talks about it that doesn't stick to the end of the story, he lost the word.

But that's not just Ain. Chris and Dill were equally surprised and seemed speechless.

"Eh... you're like a princess... eh"

"Dear Ein... In fact, I am a princess because I am the first princess...!

"As it is, well, I know how Ein feels..."

I don't think I care that they interrupted my greeting, and I think a blue muscle floated in Katima's face. But of course not.

Did you have something to think about as a researcher, too? Is that why you took such a special victory attitude?

"Oh! I didn't know you could meet Her Royal Highness the First Princess, known as the brainchild of the King's capital... I'm honored"

"(Hey, Mr. Chris. What is the brainchild of the king's capital...)"

"(aka Katima-sama or something...... Anything, Katima, also famous here in Ist, is called the brainchild of the King's capital by the researchers of Ist...)"

Without intentionally going through the two of them speaking in a small voice, Katima proceeds with a conversation with Oz.

"This time, as a help to Ain, I was forced to ask permission from His Majesty. This is a valuable opportunity to come to Ist, so I would definitely like to absorb a number of things and go home."

"Welcome. I would definitely like to talk to you about research, I never thought I would meet someone called the brainchild of the Wang capital today.... Oops. I beg your pardon, Your Royal Highness Prince Wang, as someone who makes research a business..."

"No, make sure you talk to him slowly later"

"Ha ha. Well... then, Your Highness. What the hell are you looking into if you need our help?

"Eh. Mr. Katima, can I ask you to explain something to me?

Katima nodded honestly.

I know Katima better than I do, so I thought I'd ask Katima to explain.

When you're as smart as Katima, you're still good at telling them while you sort things out. The information was communicated to Oz as concisely as possible, even where necessary. And we want to find out for ourselves, about the Red Fox.

The way Oz was listening had changed his expression many times to express his surprise.

What Katima is talking about now is something no one has ever known before, and as a researcher there is no reason to be intrigued.

And finally, when Ein tells him that he can absorb the Demon Stone, that voltage jumps to its climax.

"Eh... Your Highness. Is everything we're talking about true now? I didn't know you could absorb demon stones too..."

"Yep. Yes, it is."

Katima also explained that he absorbed Durahan's demonic stones and Elderlich's demonic stones. Oz listening to that and coming up with a few thoughts.

"... I see why the Professor Emeritus introduced me. I guess I'm the best person to talk about demon stones..."

Oz is a leader in demon stone research. Perhaps no one as familiar with Demon Stone as he is, even exists here in Ishtarika.

"Please wait a moment. Then I'll bring it."

"Bring it, is it...?

It was Oz how I was thinking about it, but how I changed that look and decided something. He then, in large part, rises up and begins to walk towards the case installed in the room.

I found it when Ain and the others walked into the room, and it's a case of demon stones and stuff.

"Professor Oz. What the hell?

"Rest assured, Dear Christina. There is also a seal made here by Professor Emeritus Majorica, because it does not mean that it will somehow run wild... Yikes"

When I opened the case, Oz took out a box with the carvings that were in there. Return to Ain and the others with it.

"... what is this? Professor Oz."

Ain't asked a question before Oz answered.

"This is what His Highness is looking for."

"Things I'm looking for...?

When Ain was wondering, Oz let the case go. Then it was one demonic stone, a purple flaming pattern that appeared, that felt something poisonous.

"It's a precious item. Other than this, I've only seen one more."

In that word, Chris perceived it earlier than anyone else.

That's why he suddenly took Ain's hands in both hands and held them tight. I wondered if I could help him so that he would never be transformed.

"... Mr. Chris?

"I'm sorry, Dear Ein. But please keep it this way for a little while...... Professor Oz, continue."

"Oh, yeah... actually"

Not only was Ain surprised, but Oz was equally surprised. The escort suddenly began to hold your master's hand, so it's only natural to wonder what it is.

"This is the Red Fox's... Demon Stone"

'Oh I see,' I could understand why Chris took his own hand.

Her nervousness comes from Chris's hand, which has a fever somewhat. But listening to Oz was fine now.

If she... is Elderlich suppressing her own husband Durahan? That makes even a little laugh zero.

In my own body, I prayed that the couple would stop fighting.

"It's a precious item."

"Yep. Even so, all the research I can already do has been completed. We've analyzed it, and we've squeezed all the information we can squeeze out of this demon stone."

"Have you been doing research for a long time?

"... studying red foxes has been a laugh for a long time."

It was Oz laughing like a soldier, but I can hear from the look on his face that he has struggled somewhat.

"Will you definitely tell us about it, too? Of course, thank you."

"That's not absurd, thank you is fine...... rather because mine is the kind of story I have to pay for. Don't you think so as a researcher, Your Highness the First Princess?

"Yeah, I thought you were right. If we researchers can discover the undiscovered facts, there will be no further rewards."

Katima, still looking "ridiculous," agreed with Oz.

"... but royal humans do it unpaid. Hey, Mr. Chris?

"You're right, Ain't you? Because some people may think they have illegally exercised authority."

"Hmm... Here's what I'll do. Let me ask you a few questions about Ain's constitution. How about that as a reward? Of course, I won't teach that to anyone else."

"... If you're going to keep a secret, I think I could go into some more detail. But then, can't you announce the professor's research results?

"Something to question, something to wonder, is on the way to solving some of it. You don't need to make an announcement."

Oz was a raw researcher. I don't have a self-evident appetite, and I don't use my research results for money.

He purely wants to solve what he cares about. That's just what I think. So if you think about it, it's better to get information than to get money, and above all, it shines.

I've thought a little bit about it, but maybe the information useful to me will come from Oz. That's not a bad story to talk about.

"... ok. Then I'll tell you what I think I can answer."

"I appreciate that! Thank you so much!

He seemed really happy, and Oz grinned like a boy.

As for Ain, I'd rather say thank you is here. I have to think so.

Today, let's first sort out the information we have for each other. And I decided to explore new information, that's the policy.

We were all looking for threads that day as we passed the information on to everyone until the evening.

"Huh... Huh. Ha..."

"Master Grint! Too much will break your body!

A new Round Heart residence in the capital of King Heim. There was even the figure of Grint continuing his training, around him he fell tired, the figure of the knight of the king's capital.

"Revine. I have to be strong, I have to be... such an unusual imitation!

My father, Logus, was taking care of him, the son of Viscount Ricardo Lance, Revine.

He often refrains by his side, like Grint's entourage. When Grint turned to Tiggle and Euro, he wasn't too public, so the Revin was left behind.

"Grint! Again you... you're telling me not to push too hard!

It's not just my boyfriend's Revin. My father Logus is equally worried about Grint. I've been training a lot since I got back from Euro, both on the day I come and the day I come, and I'm worried about Logus, too, that there are parts of me that have gone too far.

"Father... are you here"

"He was there, wasn't he? You don't have an ex or a kid to break your body, do you?

"So, suddenly!

"Ha... it's time for you to tell me. You're fucked, about the Knight of Ishtarika."

After more than six months, I couldn't even tell Logus about him. I was so humiliated, I just didn't want to talk about being rolled like a bug.

"If you can't tell me, I'll offer caution to my room for a while!

"Become... Father!

It's true that I'm worried. The way my son is trying seems beautiful, but as things stand, we can't forgive him.

I wanted to know about Grint's opponent, even though it would be somewhat forceful.

"Tell me, isn't there prudence?

"I won't force you much after that. I won't be prudent, I promise. So why don't you tell me about that other guy, too?

Logus sits on a chair that was nearby and brings grint and gaze closer. Seeing what this place looks like makes him seem like he can behave as a good father. It's just that if it's not about Ain, it's about.

"... probably only. I think you're about seven years older than me."

"Hmm? Well, I'm still about the age of an apprentice knight."

"That's what I'm saying! My brother...... he seemed to be serving as Ain's escort, but he's still a teenage man, just like me!

The word shocks Logus and Revin too much. Anyway, Grint is already an excellent knight at this age. It has continued to grow greatly not only by the skills of the Holy Knight, but also by genius taste and talent.

The fact that the grint was treated like a bug by the same teenage knight opponent.

Although Logus didn't put it to words, he wants to fight that knight once and for all.

"I see. Grint... I know exactly why you're so obsessed with that knight"

"I will definitely knock you down next time...... Treat him the same way, like a bug!

Seeing my son burning in ambition makes me want to support him. I know myself, Grint hates losing as much as Logus. That's why I'll beat him for anything! I can understand the thought of saying so.

"Next up is a real duel. So I take him down... a knight named Dill"

Grint grips his fist hard and decides. Is there going to be an opportunity to have such a real duel with the Knight of Ishtarika? Probably won't come...... I just think so, Logus. But six months ago, I don't know what would happen if I thought Grint had suddenly met Ain.

When Grint was so determined, there was news of one visitor on the spot.

"Grint? I know you're working hard on your training. But you have a customer."

"Mother? Who the hell?"

The training station where the Grints were gathered, where my mother Alma appeared. I have a visitor in Grint, and I'm here to announce it.

"Your fiancée is here. Go to your room."

"Oh Anon!? Okay, I'll be right there!

The visitor is Anon. Anon Bruno...... she is Grint's fiancée, one year older than Grint. He was an insider as a pardon, but now Grint also strongly likes Anon and is always looking forward to the day he meets her.

I thought I was helped by her coming. Revine to Logus. It's superimposed that makes Grint feel honest about resting.

"Father! Now if you'll excuse me!... Revine, I'll see you tomorrow!

"Oh, come on, Grint. You're gonna do your best, aren't you?

"Yes, welcome, Master Grint. I'll see you tomorrow."

When he sees Grint run away fine, Logus relieves himself of his year-to-year appearance.

"... sorry Revin. Take care of him."

"There is no such thing.... I hope one day, Master Grint will be able to fulfill that thought"

I know Revine. That's a difficult thing, it's hard to just think about the opportunity to meet and fight again besides coincidence with the Knight of Ishtarika, whose national traffic is cut off at all.

But still, I won't stop praying that Grint's thoughts will be fulfilled.

"Anon!"

"Well, Master Grint. Hello, may I have rushed you?"

"That's not true! I'm sorry I kept you waiting!

Grint, who has been in good hands after cleansing his body after training. Anon was waiting in Grint's room.

Lightly applied makeup and brightly colored dresses catch my eye.

"Come on over here. Good luck today."

"Ugh, um... sorry!

Leaning by her side, she strokes Grint's head a little before holding Grint against her own chest.

I'm not yet heavily developed, but still my head clashes at the softness specific to women and the aroma of anon.

"Don't you have to be so lit, Master Grint?... Come on, shall we talk?

Grint was found by clams and anons without hiding the illuminating appearance. I think I've shown embarrassment as a man, but Anon doesn't look like he cares at all.

I sat down on the bed and slapped my neighbor in the face. Grint sat there and blossomed in chatter with no other love.

When I'm with her, I feel at ease for some reason and somehow I can work hard.

The figure of Grint, which can never be shown to Logus or his mother Alma, only to Anon.

"I heard you were still working hard on your training today. Master Grint looks so cool working hard and I fall in love with him too...... but it's forbidden to overdo it after all, isn't it? 'Cause I'm worried you'll get hurt."

"... ok. Let's just be a little bit careful."

Her words were often heard honestly. I don't want my favorite anon to hate me, that way I can put up with a lot of things. I thought so much of her.

"Heh heh... you're a good boy. Master Grint, one day you will also show me the opportunity for Master Grint to fulfill his snowflake, won't you?

"Ahhh... ahh! Of course! I'm inviting Anon to the privileged seat!

Anon unintentionally zeroed his grin when he saw how energetic Grint looked.

Grint thinks. Anon is an adorable fiancée with beautiful, well-connected redheads, who also has a reputation in the King's Capital. The time spent with Anon like that was happier than anything else.
