Concept Grasping Magic Genius Episode 81
“Franco? You mean the commander-in-chief of Liberta?”
Even though he only saw the pen move from a distance, Adrian immediately knew what Rowan had written.
“yes.”
“Our runners are in good spirits. They’re going to catch Chief Grave.”
“…….”
“I heard the story. You ran away with a piece of your sword stuck in your eye?”
“Yes. I need to find it.”
As Rowan answered in a deep voice, Sienna’s eyes turned to Rowan’s waist.
She said.
“It’s empty right there.”
The normally soft voice sounded unusually bitter.
Unfortunately, the sword that Sienna had given me disappeared.
They are all the same sword pieces and no matter where they go, it makes no difference, but for some reason, Sheville always appears in the same place and returns to the same place.
Rowan’s subconscious may have been able to discern subtle differences.
“Even though the number of sword fragments has increased, why is that spot so empty? It’s a bit disappointing.”
“…….”
The sound was lowered than usual Sienna.
Are you angry? Are you that upset?
Rowan fidgeted and Adrian also looked at Sienna.
Instead, it was Siena who was embarrassed.
“It was…a…joke.”
Rowan had a hard time understanding what he was saying.
Who in the world blurts out a joke in such a flat voice?
Adrian clicked his tongue.
“Siena. That’s how your jokes work.”
“What’s wrong?”
When she asked again in the same tone of voice, Adrian looked very embarrassed.
“Yeah. So much so that I don’t even know where to start.”
“…….”
Rowan thought he should teach Sienna a little bit about funny jokes while she was training with Auror.
I guess it’s because we’ve been friends for a long time, and I’m pretty good at joking.
Suddenly, Sienna became as quiet as a stone, so Adrian took the lead in the conversation with Rowan.
“The page where you wrote your question. The answer will probably come to you there. It’s a piece of writing without substance, but its meaning sinks into your heart.”
“There’s nothing yet.”
Rowan answered, looking down at his notebook.
“That’s right. Since he has no roots, it won’t be easy to track him down.”
“Is there any information that the Union can’t find out?”
“There are many. That’s why we exist. The management office collects information from members scattered around the country and reads the situation.”
“Oh, I see.”
As the vanguard of the union, the Faith Committee must do its utmost to gather information.
As a runner there, Rowan felt ashamed.
The shock of Siena’s surprising joke and his excessive confidence in the place he was in made him like Lucas for a while.
“Anyway, that Franco guy is a guy who’s going to run away. I should’ve caught him then.”
“If so, then one of the four captains who dealt with Franco.”
“There’s a reason for that.”
The captain babbled on about the situation at the time, but it was more about his own heroic deeds than Franco’s escape.
Rowan glanced at his notebook, listening to the story.
Still, the answer to the question was neither visible nor felt.
I thought Adrian’s story would be long, so I changed the subject to a question.
“Then how do I get common information?”
“So I, huh? Uh… turn the notebook over and turn it around.”
Rowan did so, and turned the page at Adrian’s nod.
For a moment, I felt a vast amount of information seeping into my mind.
After that, I realized that one page was filled with tiny letters written in Mana.
It felt like I was reading the text after hearing the synopsis first.
[The Stability Committee is focusing on clearing out the remnants of Liberta in Barcino and identifying the modified facilities of Letel.]
[It is estimated that some of Letel’s core forces are in Versailles. The small town of Vulion on the outskirts of Versailles has been destroyed. Traces of the puppeteer have been discovered.]
[It seems that the Duchy of Ferrara will hold a social gathering to celebrate the Duke’s daughter’s birthday. It seems that they are trying to gather young nobles and consolidate their power to check the Kingdom and Union. The Vice-Chairman of the Belief Committee is currently assessing the situation.]
[Some families in Barcino ask for advice on Roan’s marriage. A similar request is also received from the Torchbearers’ Clan in the Bridge District.]
[It has been confirmed by intelligence from the Freedom Guard that Norfolk is gaining power based in the Teak Mountains, north of Sion.]
A huge amount of information.
Thanks to this, I felt like the world I was in was expanding in an instant, but most of the content was difficult to skip over, except for one thing.
“How reliable is the Jeonseo-gu?”
“There’s no need to worry, since transformation and theft are impossible.”
Since the magic circle written on this pen cannot be destroyed, the information must be considered true.
Suddenly, I felt anxious.
“Are missions given based on this information? Or are there choices?”

A rare, almost urging question.
Adrian pushed up his glasses without knowing it and his eyes sparkled.
“It’s optional. Are you interested in talking about marriage? Isn’t it a little early?”
“No, that’s a bit…”
It was news I wanted to ignore. I didn’t know something like that would be included in such heavy and serious information.
Moreover, I couldn’t figure out why that was information shared by all union members.
Adrian looked at Sienna and smiled as if he found Rowan flustered.
“This is a joke.”
“I don’t know if it’s particularly fun, but…….”
Sienna answered, and Roan agreed with that point.
Adrian shrugged his shoulders with a quizzical expression and asked Rowan back.
“Should I guess correctly? Are you a puppeteer? Information that interests you.”
“…….”
“It’s nothing special. There was a time when I got excited and rushed to the puppet master in Olen. Now that traces have been found, I’m sure you’re interested. Huh? Come to think of it, that puppet master is a woman… Is that why you didn’t notice the story about her marriage?”
“That’s not it.”
“no way.”
Adrian glanced at Sienna again, his face raised into a clown’s brow.
An expression that seemed to say something like this was a joke. Sienna shook her head, as if she really hated the sight of it.
Rowan’s face turned red again for another reason.
When I was asked the question directly, I realized that it was not much different from the marriage proposal story that I had dismissed as useless.
It was the same in that they couldn’t distinguish between public and private matters.
Adrian smiled leisurely.
“Well, we’re humans too, so we can’t be completely free from emotions. But, Rowan, you mustn’t forget that you’re a runner now.”
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Adrian slipped a cookie to Rowan, who looked a bit discouraged.
While Rowan was eating with both hands without giving up.
For once, Sienna joined in the conversation.
“The administration is planning the mission based on the shared information.”
“hmm.”
“…….”
“yes.”
As Rowan swallowed the cookie and answered properly, Sienna continued speaking.
“Missions are assigned based on the unit and members that best fit the purpose, compatibility with the target they will face, compatibility with the unit’s characteristics, and the probability of accomplishment. Of course, plans can be made and agendas submitted at the unit level.”
“Actually, that’s why we were thinking of making our own plan.”
Adrian added quickly.
“yes?”
“It may seem odd to say that the mission was a promotion gift, but I definitely thought you’d be excited.”
I had nothing to say. It was obvious to me that it was like that.
“So, are you going to Versailles?”
“That’s what happened eventually, but the circumstances are different. More urgent information came in that wasn’t shared with everyone.”
“If it’s urgent information….”
Adrian and Sienna exchanged glances as Rowan tilted his head slightly.
Sienna said.
“While we were dealing with Liberta in Barcino, some of the Honor Guard were deployed to other missions along with the Practical Guard.”
In fact, only some of the honor guards, including Magda, came to Barcino to support them.
It’s a common occurrence for unions.
It is not often that the entire force of a unit moves at once.
“Yes. I heard that Sophie also received another mission.”
Rowan, who said that without thinking, frowned slightly.
Sophie didn’t even come to her own promotion ceremony. I just thought she was working hard.
“if…….”
“Yeah. It’s something to do with Sophie.”
For a moment, my heart started pounding loudly.
An ominous thought occurred to me. But I was also confused as I remembered that she had been in my fantasy.
According to the fantasy, anything that goes wrong with Sophie will happen at least five years later.
Adrian continued his explanation.
“It’s something to do with the Pobel family, you know? What kind of family your friend is from.”
“yes.”
Pobel, one of the most renowned swordsmen in the Duchy of Versailles.
Of course, it was questionable whether they could still be called family, since Sophie was an illegitimate child who fell out of favor with the head of the household and had been forced out to the Union for political reasons.
So, if Sophie’s mission was related to the Pobel family, it was natural that there was some kind of intention behind it.
“The Pobel family is a noble family comparable to the Duke of Versailles, the origin of the Duchy of Versailles, but their recent actions have been somewhat suspicious.”
“How do you say that?”
“They are raising three families. It seems they are absorbing the families within the territory by force. As the conflicts break out, ordinary people are suffering.”
“Is there a need to increase your power like that? After all, it’s a family within the territory.”
“It seems that the purpose is the swordsmanship vision that each family possesses.”
There was a name that came to mind as soon as I heard it.
“Similar to Liberta. I heard they also grew up like that in Barcino.”
“that’s right.”
“Are you trying to start a war?”
“Well, for now, the Duke of Versailles will feel threatened.”
“So, was Sophie sent on a mission to find out the family’s true intentions?”
“That’s true, but it was Pobel who called Sophie first. They were calling back not only Sophie, but also the family members scattered throughout the country.”
It certainly looks like they’re focusing on building up their military power.
“It seems like they’re up to something.”
“Yes. But that doesn’t mean that the Duchy of Versail can do anything about it right away. After all, it’s happening in Pobel’s territory, and the Duke of Versail is also complicated by the Letel issue.”
It is said that a small town on the outskirts was destroyed by Letel’s gang, who are believed to be puppeteers.
The sparks of rebellion and war are visible, but we cannot just look in that direction.
Since they can’t solve it internally, they have to come from outside.
Even if it is an autonomous principality’s business, if the people’s livelihood is ruined, we as a Union cannot turn a blind eye.
That’s what this organization was created for.
Rowan nodded briefly and then asked the question he had been trying to suppress.
“So, what is Sophie’s situation now?”
“Contact has been lost. The Honorary Runner and the Practical Runner who followed to look after him are also included.
“…….”
My mouth wouldn’t open.
Ominous thoughts came to my mind again, almost wanting to believe the illusion the human tree had shown me.
“So this is the mission.”
Adrian took a sly breath.
For once, a serious look appeared on his face.
“Go to the Pobel family and check on the life or death of the members who lost contact. I think you’re the right person for the job. What do you think?”
“I’ll do it.”
It’s a matter of saving a friend.
There was no other choice.
