Chapter 191
Chapter 191
Even if I say the prime of life I wasnt sure how old he exactly was. At a glance, he looked both like someone in his later twenties, and in his fifties. You could call him an old man in his prime of life, or even an old, young man.
Now this is a surprise
That man spoke that one line after seeing me. I could understand what he meant painfully well. Not to brag, but I was quite a Mr. nice guy in my past life, so seeing me turn into this adorable girl would surprise just about anyone.
Dont say anymore. Its not like I wanted to turn out like this.
Uh Well, what did you come for this time? And werent you the one who said hed try his best to keep our relations a secret?
He pressed for an answer to me while glaring towards Maxwell. He was blaming me for bringing a third party along despite our promise. For now, I elbowed Maxwell and urged him to introduce himself.
He realized my intention and made an elegant bow.
My apologies. I am called Maxwell. I am the acting board chairman of the Magic Academy of Raum.
The Magic Academy? And your name Are you one of the Six Heroes?
He knew my name, but considering how rare his items were, I thought it was better if I didnt know who he was. At that time, I didnt know when I could get caught and be tortured.
And if I wore my super rare gauntlet at that time, they would obviously be interested in finding out its origins. As such, I asked him not to tell me his name. After all, they couldnt make me say what I didnt know.
Sorry but due to my agreement with that man Or woman? Anyway, I cant name myself now.
I am aware of it, yes.
Then, what is your business today?
It seemed he was in the middle of work, he returned to polishing a silver ring as he spoke. I helped myself to the seat on the other side of his desk.
Maxwell, come sit.
Can I?
Since I received you two, you are my guests now. I wont get angry over something like sitting down.
So he said.
Maxwell finally sat down after getting his permission. It was very rare for him to be acting this nervous. I was curious about his behavior, but I decided to focus on the matter and took out the gauntlets.
Maxwell secretly Apported them to me and I accepted them.
As you can see, Ive become like this. And because of that, I failed to make good use of them.
Hmm
He inspected the broken gauntlets and let out a sigh.
The mechanism inside the right one seems to be lacking maintenance. The damage to the exterior of the left one seems to be from the degradation over time. Even the threads are quite diminished.
I was dead for a while, so I couldnt bring them for repairs.
You were dead? So someone used Reincarnation magic on you? And you became a woman
You get it now?
I bent my head and asked in an intentionally inquisitive way. The man suddenly covered his nose. Dont tell me, was this guy a lolicon?
Oh well. Im lacking some materials for repairs so I cant do it immediately, okay?
That would suck But Im not in any position to complain, huh. Still, my current situation makes it hard to come here so easily.
That man over there can use Teleport, cant he?

True, Maxwells Teleport or Portal Gate would make it easy to come here. But it was not so easy for Maxwell to open up some time to meet me. I was something like his private pupil, but there was no knowing when or who would suddenly visit his mansion.
If we suddenly disappear for a long time after he brings me here, Cortina and Lyell could get worried.
Well, we have some circumstances
Then, how about we go and gather the materials tonight?
Huh, we can do that!?
I also know how to use Portal Gate.
Hearing his proposal, I looked at Maxwell and started considering it.
I had slipped out of the inn. Other students were in deep sleep and there was no worry of them finding out. Cortina and Maria were cutting loose today, so I didnt think theyd be checking on me.
Since I was considered to have fainted, they left all the monitoring to Maxwells familiar. Based on all that, I should have time until morning, right?
Hm, could you give us a minute?
I dont mind. But if we are to go out, we better make it quick.
Understood.
Maxwell and I drew our faces closer and started discussing. We didnt even care that he was right in front of us.
So, what do we do?
I think this is a good opportunity. An opportunity to see how these unknown mechanisms and techniques work in practice. I feel reluctant to give up on it.
But it would be a bit worrying if it drags on until morning.
Let us just use illusion to deceive them in that case.
You can do that?
Fortunately, we left my familiar behind. It should be no problem if I made it appear like you. Its body is hidden under the pillow, so if I just overwrite it with illusion, there would be a low chance of it getting found out.
Well If you say so.
Illusion magic had a set range based on ones field of view. Since Maxwell could see distantly through his familiar, he could cast the illusion with his familiar in the center.
However, with how far from Maleva we were, it shouldve taken quite a lot of magic power
Oh, this much distance is no problem to me.
That was a Six Hero for you. This much distance was trivial for him.
Well, excuse me for a second
Wait. Casting the point designated magic from this cave is restricted. You cant use your Illusion from here.
Oh?
Maxwell tested it by trying to cast magic. A technique to restrict point designated magic activations wasnt such a rare thing. Because if it was left unchecked, there was no knowing how many burglars and assassins would teleport in and out.
As such, it was used even in common households as a means of security.
If I didnt do that, there would be fellows teleporting right in. That entrance you came in from is actually the only way to get inside.
In that case, we will step out briefly. Please make preparations to depart in the meantime.
Got it.
I followed Maxwell who had left his seat and headed outside the cave. The man also stood up from his seat and walked to a room further ahead, making preparations to depart.

He left his silver ring and the tools completely unguarded. How careless could he be?
Maxwell managed to cast his magic without problems after he stepped outside, and now, it looked like I was still sleeping like a log back at the inn.
And thus, the two of us prepared to head out to gather materials along with the blacksmith.
