"By the way, didn't you say you weren't going to be using your students like this?" Realizing something, I also turned to him. "You guys." Giving the deepest sigh since he had arrived at this place, my brother covered his face with one hand.
"M-my apologies! It was the first time in a while I have been within 20 meters of Gray, so I kind of lost control!"
".r-right!" At my brother's cold voice, Svin suddenly snapped to attention. "Oh, Gray, Gray, Gray! So sweet, and grey, and sharp, like a smell that will tear me up inside!"Īs if he couldn't hear Gray's resistance, another voice called out to distract him as he attempted to get his fill of her scent. but of course, that only lasted a few moments before the situation collapsed again.Įarning a jump from the trembling Gray, Svin immediately leapt to her side, sniffing at her like a dog. Paired with Flat Escardos, they were peerless as students.

A delicate wildness peaked out from his sharp eyes, and his bow of greeting was done with professional elegance. Similarly blonde haired and blue eyed, the new arrivals more masculine, rugged features made a good contrast. "Don't call me that! Sorry for keeping you waiting, Professor!" "I told you to hurry on ahead and tell them I was going to be late!" The new arrival, another young man with pleasant features, ran up already in the process of chastising the first. "-Flat!" An angry voice called out from the road. I didn't know where he had picked it up, but his ability to see and reproduce magecraft from a number of different disciplines spoke to his considerable skill. Using shadows to hide one's own body was a popular style in Germany, if I recalled correctly. Most likely, what we had just seen was Illusion magecraft. With a simple-minded innocence, the blonde boy spoke vigorously. "I did it, professor! In Japanese it's like, how do you do? Japan's greetings are pretty deep, kind of gives off a Buddhist feel don't you think?" Desperately trying to extinguish the flame on the seat of his pants, he continued his crying as he turned to us. Leaping up from the darkness was a golden haired, blue eyed boy. Laying that flame near the grass, he placed it in the unnatural shadow. Whispering a small spell, the flame at the tip of the cigar grew. Silently, my brother removed the cigar from his mouth. On top of that, though the shadows stretched across the gently swaying grasses, they were motionless on top of them. While it was certainly nearing evening, the direction the shadows were cast was entirely different than that of the Tower of the Sun, even discounting their unnatural length. The reason for that was immediately apparent.įrom the trees a short distance away, the shadows began to grow. Suddenly, I felt a faint pain in my eyes. However, as his gaze wandered across the damp ground, his expression slightly wrinkled. It was the kind of voice he used when grappling with a very personal problem.
His voice seemed to hold a terrible melancholy. Perhaps as far as this is concerned, we'd be better off waiting." Getting tripped up at this stage was not helping. That was why Lord Byron had only allowed us to move within a certain time limit. In order to clear the doubt around me, and release the captured Trimmau, a much more powerful move would be necessary. "Hey hey, are you getting stuck on that again? Are you going to finish within Lord Byron's time limit if you keep going around in circles like this?"įrom the start, clearing up the mystery and solving the incident was only a single card in the game. To think that this pathetic expression came from the same man who had so gallantly intervened, facing down the head of one of the Three Great Familiesm, was a strain on the imagination. "No.the Sun and Moon aren't part of it after all.is that treasure really not part of this?" The Towers are too large of a factor, leaving them as just a superficial cover doesn't make any sense." On the other hand, using Selena or Nanna in place of the Moon and utilizing the attributes of the Sacred Beast strays too far from the starting point. "Thinking of the Sun as a stand-in for Helios in the formula is no good. All we had managed to accomplish was filling my brother's notebook with theories and hypotheses, and then crossing them all out as unacceptable. Unfortunately, it was hard to say that we had come to a satisfactory conclusion. The sun had set considerably, and the Tower of the Sun's shadow had stretched out to match it.
