CH 53

Nagi-chan is dead. . .

That woman Lucifer’s subordinate killed her.

— 1 week ago.

I was conducting magic training for the third years. When director Firu ran into the room with a terrible expression.

“Director Firu! What the heck is wrong?!”

It was evident that something serious happened. So i hurried to the director to hear what happened.

“Ha, Ha . . . . . Ruina-san, Listen carefully. Mure sensei just contacted me and told me, Nagi and Lucis just got attacked.”

“Hah?”

What is the director saying? I don’t understand.

“Attacked. . . . i-is Nagi-chan alright? Also Lucis?”

When I asked that question, the director . . . . . Shook her head.

“Th, that. . . . “

I crumbled from the shock.

Firu propped me up.

“Please be firm, Ruina. We don’t know if the worst happened or not.”

“Eh?”

“According to Mure-sensei, the attacker teleported away and brang Nagi and Lucis with her. So there maybe still be time.”

“If so then let’s hurry! Is there a trace of that magic?”

If they use teleportation magic.

There should be magical debris, which we can follow .

“It seems to be quite a strong user,Because unfortunately I could not find the destination. So i contacted the adventurer guild and magical association to search as well. But I have no found it yet.”

“Is that so . . .”

I was about to crumble again.

No, Now is not the time.  I need to gather information.

“What did the attacker look like?”

“It seems to be a girl that looks exactly like Lucis,but with pink hair.”

Could it be a relative of Lucis? Then why would Nagi-chan and Lucis-chan be targeted. . . .

No, I’ll put off that for later.

“Is there anything that could be used as a clue for their location.”

“Oh yea, Mure-sensei said that. Before the girl teleported them, she said something about changing the place to a more fitting location to fight.”

With what Firu director said, something came to mind.

“If they said a place suitable for battle,perhaps its there.”

“Ruina-san do you know where they went?”

“I don’t know for sure, but it’s worth a shot.”

What came to mind was that plain I first met Nagi.

It’s a perfect fighting ground, because there is nothing around there.

“If you decide so, you can come as well Firu.”

“I understand. There is no time to argue, I will believe in you Ruina.”

If the attacker really is that skilled, It may be dangerous for me to go along, So I decided to bring director Firu as well.

Thus Firu and I went to where I believed the attacker to go.- – – –

“That’s a lie. . . . “

Reality was ruthless.

What I saw at the location was Lucis-chan clinging to Nagi-chan while crying loudly.

Both of them seemed almost unscathed, but Nagi seemed to be in a dead like sleep.

No, From Lucis-chan’s reaction, it doesn’t seemed to be like dead. But actually dead . . .

The moment my brain came to understand that- – – – I fainted.

☆☆☆

I woke up on a bed inside of Akade academy’s infirmary .

I woke up and looked around me, I noticed Lucis, who was looking at me.

Both of her eyes were swollen red from crying. No light in her eyes.

“Ruina-sama, Did i wake you.”

“. . . . . .  Lucis-chan. Can you tell me what happened?”

“Okay.”

Then Lucis told me what happened.

The attacker is her sister. Who came to Akade academy to kill Nagi.

Nagi and Lucis fought together as hard as they can but could not stand up to her. Resulting in Nagi’s death.

“Why did Lucis’s older siste- – – Lacis wanted Nagi dead?”

“That. . .”

Lucis thinking about it gradually started to wither down.

“oof. . . . .!”

When I noticed that I grabbed her neck.

“Lucis are you that woman’s subordinate? Did you come to this academy to see if Nagi was good enough for that woman? Don’t joke about this. In short, Nagi is dead because of you. If you just did not come. . . “

If I think about it, it really stems from a grudge against me.

Even if Lucis did not come to the academy, Lacis still would have come to this kill Nagi.

To kill the Nagi that robbed her loving master Lucifer’s heart.

Well I can not deny that the existence of Lucis became the deciding faster though.

“Hey Lucis, why don’t you resist?”

I looked at Lucis, who didn’t resist my, so I released my hands from her neck.

She fell on her butt.

“Ge ho*, Ge ho*. . . . Because it is my fault Nagi-sama died. To allow my master to die, I am disqualified as a maid. I don’t deserve to be alive.”

“So, if that’s the case. Die.”

I made a barrier surrounding us- – – To protect the academy from damage and disturbance. For the sake of killing Lucis, I began chanting the  ( Inferno) spell.

However- – –

“(Interruption)”

“Huh?”

My magic did not activate due to Lucis’ disturbance.

“Certainly I do not deserve to live. But. . .”

She cut off her sentence. And looked at me with powerful eyes, no longer dead ones.

“Nagi-sama said she wanted me to live. Before she left us , she asked this of me. She was worried about me and Ruina.”

And the Lucis told me Nagi’s will.

“. . . . . So I can not die yet. At least until Ruina and them got over Nagi’s death.”

“Ahaha. Nagi-chan is truly an idiot. We cannot just simply forget about Nagi. . . “

Tears started to spill from my eyes.

Even though Lucis’ face was still had dried tears, she began to cry as well.

I dropped my staff- – – I sank into the sea of tears in the nurse’s room.
