Chapter 43: The Man, the Woman, the Wizard and

The Sword Kurara.

This is a Magician who is unable to use any spells.

Kurara: I.took a real interest...in you

Igni: Me?

Kurara: Yes...because..you..you can only use {Fireball}.....right?

Igni: Oh, yes. Well, thats true that I can only use {Fireball}.

Kurara: So you see.youre the same...as me.

Igni: Same?

Igni repeated Kuraras words.

Popularity Rule No. 11Find commonality with women.

Igni: (Requirement Cleared..!!)

Igni celebrated inside his mind.

Kurara: Thats right...so...thats why.I like you

Igni: Thank.you?

Kurara: hehe

Kurara quietly smiles and chuckles.

..its here.

My spring is finally..here!!

Kurara: Okay..Lura. Lets go. Were almost at Lyheria.....right?

Lura: .....! YYes! Igni, please get down from the carriage.

Kurara: Oh..he cant...ride with me.?

Lilly: NNo, Lady Kurara!

But it was Lilly who answered Kurara.

Kurara: I see...what a..shame.

And with that Kurara <looks at Ignis face>.

She shouldnt be able to see.

But she looked straight at Ignis face.

Kurara: Ill..see you.again

And ended the meeting with that.

Lura quickly hurries Igni off the carriage as he reluctantly follows her orders.

Iris: SSir Igni! Are you okay?!

Edward: Yyeah! Igni! Did she cut you anywhere??

Igni: Im fine. She was a nice person.

His two friends approach him with concerns, but Igni laughs off the incident.

She did emit an abnormal amount of blood lust, but talking with her, she was just a regular girl.

Igni: (Just because shes an [Extreme] doesnt mean I should treat her differently. Yeah, it was a good reminder.)

Igni repeats the lesson he learned inside his head.

Popularity Etiquette Rule No. 1 Treat all women as special.

To Igni, EVERYONE is the ONLY ONE!! (applying to females only)

And Igni was in an especially great mood right now because he got see something special in the carriage.

Edward: Bbut I cant believe the weapon we were transporting was an [Extreme]...

Before reaching the city walls, Edward mentions this quietly.

Iris: Its not that unusual. The Kingdom and the Empire both use people as weapons.

Igni was a little surprised to hear this from Iris.

And that also reminded him that a few weeks ago, he learned about Alicia being used as a weapon.

Edward: I guess thats true

Edward nods with Iris' words.

Edward: With something as crazy as an [Extreme] around, I guess thats how it will be naturally

And came to his own conclusions.

Edward: I guess its the Ultimate Light Lucas whos the only [Extreme] not associated with any country and lives freely.

Igni raised a brow at the mention of his grandfathers name and thought about saying, I know! Thats my grandpa for ya!, but reconsidered it immediately since it wasnt something a popular person would brag about.

These things have more impact when its revealed more subtly like the bikini armor.

As Igni was considering and contemplating these theories(?), Lura turned around to smile right at him.

Lura: Just a reminder to make sure to keep this a secret.

She places her pointer finger over her mouth.

Igni: Of course. I understand.

Lura: Thank you, Igni. I knew you would.

Igni: Yes, you cant reveal something of that magnitude or it would cause mass panic. Lura: Thank you. Im so glad that you understand.

Igni smiles at Luras words.

If Alicia was here, she would have immediately realized that Igni and Lura were not talking on the same wavelength.

But shes not, and there was no one else to point this out.

Iris: But in that case, why are we doing the transport this carefully and slowly, Miss Lura?

Lura: Well, thats just to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Iris: Like how? Lura: Well, so if we guard the carriage too tightly, it would be like telling everyone around us 'Were carrying something really important!' and bandits and the Kingdom-side people would all realize this. Then <we may have a problem> at that point. So weve limited the number of guards, but that also means that <something might happen> to Lady Kurara while were not keeping our eyes on her either.

<Something might happen>.

It is just a possibility, but it is simply not a possibility that can be ignored.

Especially since it involves an [Extreme].

But.is this really true?

There was something primal and instinctive inside Igni that made him doubt Luras words.

Lura: Especially because Lady Kurara cannot use any spells.

But with these words, Igni forced himself to agree with Lura.

The one year that Igni couldnt use spells

Until he was rescued by Lucas, every day was just another day in Hell.

Lura: Alright, lets enter town.

Edward: Our duties were to help guard the Elves weapon to the Lyheria. Doesnt that mean that our mission ends here?

Lura: It does but it doesnt at the same time. Edward: ....what do you mean?

Lura: Technically, we are escorting Lady Kurara to the Grand Duke. Your duty is not over until she reaches him.

Edward: I see.

Edward understands and nods to Luras words.

Lura: But even so, we are just guards in the end. We will be standing before the Grand Duke, but you dont have to be nervous.

Lura laughs cheerfully.

Lura: Okay, lets go in.

And with that, she shows the guards at the gate her official documents.

<<<<>>>>

Hhey, Miss Alicia. Do I really have to.dress like this?

Alicia: Yes.

Inside the horse carriage, a white-haired girl and a girl wearing a large hat are sitting next to one another.

Bbut...these are girls clothes.

Alicia: I know that. Thats why youre wearing them.

IIm a..boy though

Correction. Its a white-haired <boy> sitting next to her.

Alicia: You dont get it, Yoori. Who would give us a discount for the carriage and at the inn if a man and a woman were traveling together?

Alicia didn't understand Yooris reservations and tilted her head at him.

Alicia: Do you understand now? Because <two girls> are traveling together, were getting treated better with better discounts. Thats why you have to wear those clothes.

Bbut.

Alicia is simply keeping down their travel costs.

With everything thats happened, Alicia did receive permission to attend the Wizards Academy, but that is more in the form of a confidential acknowledgement.

Alicia will receive no support from her family, and she will have to find ways to pay for her own travel fees to the Principality.

She will receive something from her sister as soon as they arrive, but her sister will only be able to give Alicia money from what she has on hand.

And so.this is how it ended up.

Its not that Alicia really, REALLY wanted to see Yoori in girls clothes!

And Yoori was also brought to help Alicia camouflage and go undercover better. If Alicia heads to the Principality on her own, the other countries intelligence groups will make a move to get in her way. But if shes with Yoori, then she can pass for doing something related to the Wizards Academy.

Yoori: AAre you sure? I still get discounts even while wearing my normal clothes though

Alicia: .....................ohhhhh

Alicia let out a deep sigh of grief at Yooris words.

Alicia: .......thats right. I forgot, Yoori. Youre that kind of person

Yoori: Huh? Whwhats wrong..?

Alicia: You can get changed in the next town.

Alicia got too used to being around Yoori.

Yoori is the type where people would question why hes wearing boys clothes in the first place.

Yoori: RReally?! YES!!

No matter how hard she tried, Alicia could not see a hint of masculinity in the boy celebrating next to her right now.
