Episode 852
It was Sevius who was most calmly checking space 6 of his backpack.
Even while Zandanni was moved by the miraculous friendship and Lee Han looked at him with a straight face, Sevius calmly checked inside.
“…for a moment.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“It looks like someone opened this once. Look here.”
Sevius cast magic to project space 6 as an illusion. An enlarged image of space appeared before the wizards.
It looked like a retired wizard’s workshop. The difference is that when the wizard retires, instead of taking care of his things, he seems to be saving them for his successor.
Yes.
A birch workbench for inspecting and sorting reagents, a high-quality alchemy cauldron with eight cooking pots, a jewelry drawer for reagents organized by color, a spare wand, and
A bookshelf with grimoires, a box with gold and silver coins…
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“Senior Einrogard may have stockpiled this before closing the space and then closed it.”
“No. That’s…”
“Ah. It’s definitely strange! I’m a student at Einrogard, so it doesn’t make sense for me to accumulate those jewels, gold coins, and silver coins here.”
Lee Han pounded his palm with his fist as if he understood.
Sevius said, glaring at his junior.
“…look next to it too.”
“?”
Lee Han looked away. There were letters written on the wall forming space number 6.
In honor of my friendship with my big Einrogard friend, I save my passion for the Einrogard student who will one day open this backpack for me. Please write well. And please forgive Student Waldrogard if he turns his stomach.
-Ifeldrem
“Sun… senior!”
Zandanni shouted in surprise at the name of the legendary Baldrogard senior.
“That’s your name! I passed on this bag to you!”
“…Why is it written like that over there?”
“Well… didn’t you predict the same situation as now?”
Giandanni, who was embarrassed, came up with a hypothesis.
If the senior had opened the extra-space maze and listened to the message his friend left behind, even if it was belated, he would have been deeply moved by that friendship.
And then he must have thought something like this.
Einrogard and Baldrogard are the two-headed chariots that lead the empire…
“…Ah, this guy is really.”
“Senior! Why are you doing this? Seriously!”
Lee Han was about to hit him, but when Sevius tried to attack him first, he got scared and stopped him.
It’s bound to be even more embarrassing when someone who isn’t normally like that explodes.
Giandanni asked in surprise.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“Go on. Except the two-horse carriage!”
…Anyway, the senior may have thought that the misunderstanding between Einrogard and Baldrogard should be resolved and the two should become closer.
Einrogard students have magic, Baldrogard students have dignity and honor…
“……”
“……”
Zandanni flinched at the two wizards’ murderous gaze.
“Did I say something wrong again?”
“Please continue.”
…It is something that can be exchanged.
But the misunderstanding was not something that could be resolved so easily.
So the senior closed the backpack again and left it for the juniors.
So that someday, when my juniors open this, they can hear for themselves the goodwill left by Einrogard’s friend and be touched.
“Then what do you mean by saving it for those Einrogard students?”
“That’s simple. Baldrogard students won’t be able to open this, so I’ll call Einrogard students, and then we’ll witness this together.”
“…What kind of nonsense… does that make sense?
“But this is how it happened…”
Lee Han was speechless at the sight of Zandani hesitating but still saying what he wanted to say.
…I know?
“Senior, please give me a rebuttal.”
“…hmm.”
“Seniors!”
Despite Lee Han’s cries, Sevius kept his mouth shut.
Now that things had turned out this way, it was difficult to refute it.
Garal said as if he was still surprised.
“So, senior Baldrogard opened this by hand, checked his friend’s message, stuffed a gift inside, and closed it again?”
“yes!”
“There was a wizard with that level of skill in Baldrogard?”
“…What does it mean?”
“Oh, no…”
When his employer glared at him, Garal noticed and averted his gaze.
Meanwhile, Lee Han, who had recovered slightly from the shock, was whispering and talking with Sevius.

“Then, that wizard named Ifeldrem met again with his Einrogard friend, right?”
“Probably so.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“You’re probably not lucky.”
“Yes? Why? By continuing your friendship with the student from Baldrogard?”
“…That’s not it, because if I had gone to see senior Einrogard, I would have been taken to the punishment cell together. The principal’s personality is such that he can do that.”
Although the headmaster was relatively tolerant of outsiders, the situation was slightly different for students at other magic schools.
If he secretly came to Einrogard to meet a student in the punishment room, the skeleton principal would be enough to imprison him.
“Oh, that’s about it. Isn’t everyone going to the punishment room at least once?”
“……”
Sevius was about to say to his junior, ‘Outsiders don’t even spit in Einroguard’s direction after going to the punishment room once.’
“Rather than that, I’m glad it ended without any misunderstanding between you two.”
“That’s true.”
“But seeing as they blocked the space again when they could have just given this backpack to any Einroguard student, it looks like they didn’t learn much from the punishment room.”
‘He’s my junior, but there are times when he’s really scary.’
Sevius was thrilled by Lee Han’s coldness.
How can you look at that and say something like that?
“Hey. Please take this.”
Zandanni held out his backpack.
Looking at the note left by my senior, I was able to understand why he left this backpack to Baldrogard students.
I left this backpack so that someday, if I find an Einrogard student with whom I can share friendship, I will give him this backpack.
‘Seniors. Now I think I understand what you mean.’
“But we took this anyway…”
“Shh. Be quiet.”
Sevius covered his junior’s mouth.
There was no reason to bother the other person if he ended things well and even gave him something.
* * *
Lee Han carried his newly acquired backpack and left the village of <Visitor’s Accommodation> with Sevius.
Sevius surprisingly gave his backpack to his junior. Without receiving anything in return.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Yes. I originally intended to bring this because I thought it was an Ainroguard item. According to the message left by my senior, it is right for you to receive it.”
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“I left it to a friend of Baldrogard, and a friend of Baldrogard left it to a friend of Einrogard in the future.”
It was Wodanaz that Zandanni considered a friend, so it was right for Wodanaz to have this.
Lee Han was astonished.
“We’re not friends???”
In the first place, it was not easy to become friends with Baldrogard, a 4th grade student who thought he was a 6th grader.
Where on earth should I start?
Sevius responded as if he was annoyed.
“Then why don’t you return it?”
“Now that I think about it, I think you can consider us friends.”
Lee Han gave up right away.
Certainly, if a problem arose later, it was better to say ‘I got it from a friend’ rather than ‘I stole it’.
‘okay. I got this artifact, so I can be your friend.’
I didn’t feel like it, but I was able to bear it when I thought about this backpack and the things it contained.
Lee Han checked the items in space 6 again. I was particularly impressed by the various magical items, as well as the reagent gems and gold coin boxes.
‘Are those Baldrogard guys stacking up things like this in their workshop and using magic? ‘I’m going crazy.’
At that point, it was no exaggeration to say that it was not magic, but pleasure and luxury.
Sevius, who was next to him, was silent as if he was deep in thought about something. Lee Han asked, wondering if anything was possible.
“Why are you doing this, senior?”
‘Is there anything you want to take from inside?’
If Sevius asked to share the items inside for his share, Lee Han planned to share them.
As he helped Lee Han as a senior, Sevius took the items from spaces 1 to 5, and Lee Han took space 6 simply.
“I was thinking about it because it was strange that there was a curse on the space maze earlier.”
“Aren’t you prepared just in case?
“If the Principal or Professor Verdus had gotten their hands on it, they would have opened it right away.”
From Senior Einrogard’s perspective, he would have had to prepare for situations other than his friend opening it in a normal way.
Especially since it was made by stealing items from Principal Skull and Professor Verdus.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess I should be careful too.’
As soon as Lee Han returned, he decided to change the appearance of his backpack first.
Although quite a bit of time has passed, aren’t they both among the most persistent people in Einroguard?
“It must have been like that originally. But this was opened by a Baldrogard student and then closed again. If the curse had been cast again, the juniors would have known that it would be dangerous.”
Sevius’ point was reasonable.
Later, when the juniors open their bags to become friends with each other, if they are cursed, their friendship and everything else will jump out, saying, ‘You despicable Baldroguard bastards, it’s a trap!’
Sevius couldn’t understand why something like this wasn’t left behind.
“I think they left advice on how to open it correctly, rather than forcing it like we did… That’s strange.”
“Ah. I think I understand.”
“what?”
“Those guys from Baldrogard never read magic books, so you used the backpack your senior left behind, but you thought the book was a magic book and threw it away?
all. How is it?”
“……”
Sevius was a little worried that his junior might hate Baldrogard too much.
‘But… it seems plausible!’
* * *
“Where did you get this bag?”
“I got it from a Baldrogard student.”
“Indeed. You stole it.”
“No. I said I received it.”
“Yes, I understand. I understand.”
“……”
Lee Han looked shocked at his friends’ reactions.
“Yoner. Does receiving it sound like you stole it?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
“…I really got it.”
“What? How?!”
Yoner was even more surprised than when he opened the artifact.
How on earth did they just get this?
“So… as a token of our friendship because we became friends by chance.”
“……”
Yoner doesn’t trust his friend, but he wondered if he should lie and say that he does as a token of friendship.
Lee Han shook his head bitterly.
“It’s okay. Don’t believe it.”
“Oh, no. I believe it. You believe it?”
Meanwhile, the friends began emptying the spaces inside one by one and filling them with necessary items.
“No. Why are you adding magic potion? You said you don’t need Wodanaz?”
“By that logic, why are you adding food? Most of the food Wodanaz carries is eaten by others!”
“…Let’s add a magic potion.”
“Look!”
The friends took out all the high-quality wine from space 1 and filled it with potion.
In space 2, various toys are removed and food is stored, and in space 3, expensive outdoor clothes are put away and survival items such as sleeping bags, capes, and coats are stored. In space 4, except for the Toberies series…
“Oh, no! Who can do this!?”
Gainando was surprised to see a rare, out-of-print edition.
“Lee Han! Who gave you this?! What kind of person is this?!”
“Gainando. Is that important right now? Quickly pick out a magic book and put it in.”
“Hey! How amazing is this…!”
In space 5, there are various animal equipment and tools, excluding the harnesses. Space 6 was left as is for now. I planned to take it out and use it later whenever I needed it.
“?”
Lee Han opened the backpack door, checked inside space 6, and was about to close it when he was puzzled by an object he had never seen before.
‘what? ‘Didn’t I see you earlier?’
It was a letter.
A letter left by Zandanni in the name of the Aljadq family, requesting to visit Baldrogard sometime.
Lee Han looked at that and sighed softly. Then he took out his quill.
“Lee Han. What are you doing?”
“Write a reply to a letter.”
