“Could you please explain?”
The next-generation sword saint, Lian Parslov, was looking at me with a bewildered expression.
“As I recall, I was supposed to meet the Princess of Lindell today. “I’m a little confused, maybe my memory is wrong.”
“Oh, it’s not wrong. “I was just being a little pushy.”
Lian’s expression hardened.
“… … What do you mean by being unreasonable?”
“I was playing around a bit.”
“… … under.”
Lian’s eyes shone sharply.
At that moment, an explosive force burst out of him. Power worthy of the title of next-generation swordsman.
“You look at me so disrespectfully.”
“It’s not.”
“No, you pulled a prank like this? That’s something no dog can hear… … !”
The feeling that was only a little tingling became sharper.
Of course, just scattering is enough.
No matter how much he is called the next generation sword saint, the current Lian is not yet complete.
“Well, okay.”
I rotated my mana and easily drove away Lian’s momentum.
“hmm… … ?”
“Calm down first.”
Lian, who noticed that his momentum was blocked, widened his eyes.
“Let’s cool down and talk. “It’s never too late to get angry after listening to each other’s stories, right?”
“Wait, what did you just do?”
But Ryan asked me without answering what I said.
“I just shook it off.”
“Aren’t you Mikhail Walpurgis? From what I heard, Walpurgis’ successor is… … .”
“Yeah, idiot. know.”
It wasn’t a complete lie, so I had no intention of denying it.
Anyway, what’s important is the present, not the past. And the coming invasion of demons… … .
As a bonus, that bastard.
I can’t forgive the bastard who rose to the position of hero before returning.
“Uh, um… … ?!”
“… … hmm? “Did I make a strange expression?”
“It felt like someone was going to stab me with a knife at any moment.”
“Oh, that’s because there’s someone I really want to stab.”
“… … .”
What should I do if my expression is crumpled because there is someone I want to stab?
“Anyway, I’ll tell you the reason now. “Listen first and then judge.”
“… … “Tell me.”
Having a private meeting with Lian was one of the things I agreed to with Duke Lindell earlier.
So then, what was the reason why I wanted to talk to him alone?
“You, become my colleague.”
At those words, Lian looked at me.
“What, I’m not a nerd… … .”
Then he tilted his head slightly and continued speaking.
“… … “He was just crazy?”
“… … .”
Ah, this guy is speaking informally now.
* * *
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Eilen was pacing around the room, unable to hide his nervousness.
At first I thought no.
Mikhail seemed to have something, but as usual, I just thought it was a bluff.
Still, I thought I would listen to the story just in case.
But no way… … .
‘I never thought you would really notice… … !’
It was an engagement not with another family, but with the Walpurgis family.
As soon as Walpurgis noticed that there was a problem with the contract, he would be thoroughly punished.
Moreover, the family’s reputation will also suffer a serious blow.
“Ah, father, what on earth should I do with this…” … !”
“Calm down, Eilen.”
Duke Lindell didn’t look embarrassed at all. No, he was actually smiling as if he was having fun.
“… … father?”
“That’s fun. fun. “I only thought of him as a naked thunderbolt who didn’t know anything about the world, but maybe I was wrong.”
With his back turned, Duke Lindel turned his head in the direction of Mikhail, who was in the midst of a conversation with Lian.
“… … Hehe, you never know. “I thought I had a good eye for people, but it seems that’s not really the case.”
“Father, if necessary, I will take responsibility in any way possible.”
Eilen spoke to Duke Lindell with a determined expression.

“Everything was caused by my carelessness, so if I take responsibility for everything… … .”
“It won’t be of any use.”
Duke Lindell answered firmly.
“This is a family versus family issue. “It means that even if you come forward, nothing will change.”
“B-but… … !”
“Besides, I was the one who gave permission. If I had realized sooner that you had become an Auror, this wouldn’t have happened. In the end, as a parent, I cannot say that I have no responsibility.”
Eilen’s expression darkened.
How could anyone in the world have predicted this? That Eilen would awaken Aurors on her own without anyone’s guidance.
A sword genius.
Duke Lindell, who realized that fact, had to make a choice.
Once an aura has been awakened, it is impossible to make it disappear.
Even if it’s subtle, an aura is an auror.
It was like breaking the promise to Walpurgis… … .
After much thought, he decided to hide it.
She hid her daughter’s condition by inquiring about ancient magic tools, and used Mikhail’s qualities as a reason to break off the engagement.
It was good up to that point.
… … okay.
Until Mikhail himself came and revealed the whole truth.
“The Walpurgis bloodline demands what it deserves. “Rather, we are the ones who violated chivalry.”
“Ah, father… … .”
It’s all your fault.
If I hadn’t trained as an Auror on my own, this wouldn’t have happened.
But that was then.
“One, it’s okay.”
“… … yes?”
“The Walpurgis bloodline will not make such unreasonable demands. “It seems that what that child wants is not the destruction of our family.”
“that is… … “What do you mean?”
“I’m telling you, I’m not as clueless as you think.”
She couldn’t understand exactly what that meant. She definitely looked different this time than before.
But is it really big enough for my father to react like this?
“If you don’t know, you can check now. “Just watch.”
Duke Lindell said so and stroked Eilen’s head.
“There will be something to learn.”
* * *
“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Walpurgis or something.”
Lian stood up with the momentum as if he would pull out his sword at any moment.
But I smiled and waved my hand. At that moment, Lian’s movements stopped.
“you you… … .”
He tried to straighten up, but ended up falling down in a chair helplessly. He looked up at me, his eyes wide, in disbelief.
“What on earth did you just do?”
“First, calm down and listen. “Because I’m not finished talking yet.”
Lian nodded quietly, perhaps having finally cooled off.
Although he may appear to be hot-tempered due to his light-hearted manner of speaking and acting, Rihanna is surprisingly quite cool-headed.
I have a sharp distinction between when to be angry and when not to be angry.
– I am… … This is so-called selective anger control disorder!
I opened my mouth, recalling what Rian had said to me before I returned.
“You came here to become engaged to Eilen. Of course, unless something major happened, it would have happened that way.”
“So you broke in because you were so angry that your engagement was broken off?”
“Haha, that can’t be possible.”
I looked at him sarcastically and smiled coldly.
“Ailen has no value to me anymore.”
“… … .”
“The person I’m interested in is not her, if I may say so… … Yes, it’s yours.”
“What bullshit.”
Looking at me with a disgusted expression, Lian slowly widened the distance.
“Just in case, I like women.”
“What kind of bullshit is this all of a sudden?”
Seeing him saying something that didn’t make any sense, I let out a small sigh.
“It’s nothing special, but there’s a rumor that’s been spreading in the Holy Church recently. “I think it may have trickled down to the Count Parslov family as well.”
“… … Holy Church?”
Lian, who looked like he was thinking for a moment with his arms crossed, frowned and said.
“Well, no way. Are you talking about the hero of the prophecy? I think it was said to have some role in preventing a planned disaster… … .”
“Yeah, that one.”
The threat of the demon god has not yet been fully revealed.
But before the omen was fully revealed, there was a prophecy.
<Cassandra’s Prophecy>.
But at the time, no one cared about the content of the prophecy.
Of course, even I did the same.
The prophecy was brought to light only after the demon god began to move in earnest.
“Ha, it’s not the first time that the church has been digging in, and what’s with the useless prophecy… … .”
“But it was known, right?”
What is unique about Cassandra’s prophecy is that, unlike other forgotten prophecies, it ‘spread’ throughout the world.
No one believed, but most heard the prophecy.
Yes, strangely enough, everyone listened… … .
“Is it known? Haha, yes! It’s known! What a demon god these days. “Walpurgis, and no one else, truly believes that bullshit?”
… … I don’t believe in this way.
It will be no different this time too. If nothing happens, everyone will just ignore the prophecy after hearing it.
Yeah, except me.
“It doesn’t matter whether I believe or not. “The important thing is that you want to come with me.”
“Stop talking bullshit.”
said Rian, growling.
“Because I have no intention of going along with your delusions. After all, it’s useless bullshit… … .”
“Mullière Auror Training Method.”
At that moment, his fingertips trembled for just a moment.
“… … what?”
“No matter how much you are a genius who is expected to be the next generation of swordsman, you cannot always grow.”
It’s just about this time.
It is a time when Rian’s swordsmanship comes to a standstill.
This is information I heard directly from Rihanna herself, so it is certain.
“Skilled sword, Mulrière. “He is a pioneer who is several steps ahead in Auror training, and is one of the top five skilled swordsmen in the history of swordsmanship.”
“… … “What does that mean?”
“If you accept my offer, I will teach you the complete Auror training method left behind by Mulrière.”
“dog sound!”
At that moment, Lian urgently stood up as if screaming.
“Mullière left behind nothing except one record! Even that… … .”
“It’s not perfect. I know.”
Yes, it will.
I know.
Why was Rihanna’s growth so sluggish during this period, and why is she overreacting so much now?
“I have half of Mulrière’s Auror training method.”
“… … ?!”
Yes. Ryan Parsloff.
He was learning the ‘incomplete’ Mulrière Auror training method.
And I remember the rest exactly.
“Uh, how… … ?!”
His eyes were trembling like crazy. He clearly knows how desperate he is for ‘complete’ Auror training.
“I’m not asking for anything that big. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you’re engaged or not. “There is only one thing I want.”
“… … “Is that a prophecy?”
“Yes, Cassandra’s prophecy.”
This is the first step.
“I need your help in confirming the prophecy.”
* * *
“So, what do you want to do?”
… … prophecy.
Lian couldn’t understand why this damned bastard was obsessed with such nonsense.
but.
‘Mullière Auror Training Method.’
I just couldn’t ignore that.
If he had the same temperament, he wanted to grab him by the collar and ask if it was true, but he knew well that the Walpurgis were not an easy family.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
I just can’t figure it out.
According to rumors, he must have been such a flawed idiot that the Lindell family first demanded an end to the engagement.
But what is in front of him now… … .
“It doesn’t matter whether I am betrothed to the Lindell family or not?”
“doesn’t care. “That’s not important to me right now.”
“You may not be important, but your family probably isn’t.”
“Does ‘Walpurgis’ seem like a family that would stumble that much?”
There was confidence in Mikhail’s voice as he said that. It seems like other people’s evaluations don’t matter.
‘Not bad?’
At that moment, Lian started laughing without even realizing it. Her first impression was the worst, but such grounded confidence isn’t a bad thing.
Moreover, the momentum that had been suppressed earlier.
It was definitely Mikhail’s.
To confirm one more time, he decided to ask Mikhail.
“… … Mulrière Auror training method. “Can you prove that you have it?”
“proof?”
Mikhail chuckled.
“listen carefully. “From now on, I’m going to tell you a crazy story.”
