CH 120

In the evening, I separated from Ursch-kun and waited at the main gate for the students protected by the Knights including Marieta to come back. While waiting, I ruminated on what Ursch-kun said.

“Well, this is just to say that my grandfather thinks so, but I’m not sure, but there’s also such a suspicion. But if possible, I want you to be careful when you come into contact with Walter-niisan and my father when I’m not there. Rather, if possible, don’t meet them when I’m not there.”

“It’s clear now, and I wonder if this is the only thing that seems to be good to tell Isabella. After that, if you know who the ‘Invisible Phantom’ is following, it will be clear.”

“What? Who is the ‘Invisible Phantom’? It’s also the nickname of someone Isabella knows very well. Some people may know it because they’re famous.”

In the end, Ursch-kun laughed and didn’t tell me, ‘Well, I’ll leave this as a problem, so let me know when you know the answer,’ but who is he talking about?

While thinking about such a thing, I somehow looked around. Around the main gate, other students gathered little by little. Some students had sketchbooks with names written on them. Maybe it’s an acquaintance of the students who are coming back. When I was looking at it as if they were a person greeting an acquaintance at the airport, I was tapped on the shoulder from behind. When I turned around, Barbara holding Bella and her older sister Miriana were there.

“Barbara and Miriana! Did you two come to pick up Marieta?”

When I asked, Barbara raised her chin and answered.

“It’s only natural. I’m taking care of her daughter Bella. She should join her mother right away.”

While smiling bitterly at Barbara’s attitude, Miriana came out in front of me.

“It’s been a long time, Isabella. It’s been about five years? At that time of the Bloody Doll incident, both of us sisters were really indebted to you. You and Ursch saved our lives. I’m glad to see you again here. And I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to redo the relationship between us and Marieta, thank you. I’m looking forward to deepening my friendship with you again in my future academy life.”

Saying that, Miriana offered me a hand, so I took it and shook her hand.

By the way, the ‘Bloody Doll Case’ is a bizarre serial murder case of beautiful girls that triggered me and Ursch-kun to reunite with Barbara and Miriana when we escaped to the Kingdom of Diana. Even if I say reunion, these sisters don’t know that we arranged for their mother to divorce and move to the Kingdom of Diana to remarry at the time of the ‘Colors Collector Case’. Anyway, we got to know the girls involved in the Bloody Doll Case, and Ursch-kun and I happened to solve the case.

In addition, in Vr.2 of the game ‘Love Magical’, in the story event of Hunt Senpai’s route, an incident with a similar name called ‘Bloody Maiden Case’ occurred. Well, it’s nothing. It’s just that the culprit of these two cases is the same person. He was causing an incident in the Kingdom of Diana. The criminal comes south and commits the crime in this country. In the game, the heroine Marieta was involved, and Hunt Senpai, who ended up looking into the incident with her by chance, uses his legal shota appearance to become a decoy to develop their love while dressed up as a woman or being trapped together. It will be a development. At that time, Hunt Senpai’s personality also improves and becomes masculine, but it’s a pity. The case has been solved by me and Ursch-kun. There will be no story event. Marieta has a child, so either way, there won’t be any event with Hunt Senpai.

“That’s right, I would be happy if I could deepen my interaction with the two of you. I’m in the same department as Barbara, and I think I’ll have a chance to get in touch with you from now on, so please take care of me. As for the matter with Marieta, I just relied on her because I didn’t have anyone else to entrust Bella with. As an outsider, I can’t say anything about improving the relationship, so the three of you will do something about it from now on.”

When I said that, Miriana smiled with her eyes down while fixing her bangs.

“Ah, I know, this is a problem for us sisters. Still, I’m grateful that you gave us the opportunity to apologize to Marieta. After that, we will work hard to improve our relationship. By the way, did you know that in response to this fire incident and the mysterious ceremonial incident, the students of the Knights’ School were dispatched to the Magic Academy for security and patrol training to deepen the exchange between the two schools?”

“I didn’t know.”

“I see. Unlike the Magic Academy, you can’t enter the Knights’ School unless you have a clear identity. Even though they are students, they were driven to guard the Magic Academy just because they are knight apprentices. The knights of the country are busy subjugating monsters and maintaining security, and they say that they can’t allocate the number of people to the security of the Magic Academy, and the students of the Magic Academy can interact with the students of the Knights’ School who are close to their age, and bond deeply so that they can get along with each other after graduation.”

Yes, the Magic Academy says, ‘People whose magical power meets the country’s requirements are forced to enter the school (however, those who are registered as adventurers are exempted)’, while the Knights School says, ‘Those whose identity is guaranteed, or from influential people or designated institutions. Those who were originally guaranteed and received referrals, and only those who were able to pass the entrance examination set by the knights School can enter.’ Since there is a possibility of becoming a knight or or the king’s guard in the future, it seems that the identity and ability will be confirmed firmly.

Even before I remembered my previous life, it seems that the purpose of Daimon-niisan giving me rigorous training as well as discipline was to be able to break through the ‘entrance examination set by the Knights’ School’ if I didn’t have magic. Apparently, if I didn’t have magic, I would have been thrown into the knight school by Daimon-niisan. According to Marin-neesan, who married Daimon-niisan and became the next Duchess of Rottenstein, Daimon-niisan always said, ‘If it’s my youngest sister, becoming the first female general in our country is not a dream.’

No, I’ve never said that I want to be a female general, and I’m not aiming for it. Don’t decide my future path and train me on your own. Make a plan to enter a noble school or a royal capital girls’ academy. Well, in the end I had magic, so I decided to enter the Magic Academy. Huh? Then I won’t be trained. . . Yeah, well, it’s going to be useless, so let’s stop thinking about it.

The Knights’ School that I might have attended is a neighbor of the Magic Academy. The site is separated by a brick was of about 3 meters and barbed wire. According to Miriana, the students will take turns going to security during the day as well as training. However, without understanding you as a student, you can pass the entrance exam of the Knights’ School in a muscle brain country, so your ability comes with origami. I don’t know the meaning of ‘with origami’.

This is just extra, but there are 10 capture targets in ‘Love Magical’ including the hidden character of all three parts.

Vr.1: Chris-sama (Magic Warrior Department), Geese (Magician Department), Brian (Magic Warrior Department in the game: Knights’ School in reality)

Vr.2: Hunt Senpai (legal shota in the Alchemy Department), one of the international students from the East (a samurai in the Magic Warrior Department. Senpai), a classmate in the Magic Department (a handsome figure with his face hidden by bangs)

Vr.3: Instructor in the Knights’ School, classmate in the Holy Magic Department (Black belly priest), classmate in the Magic Department (serious glasses of the committee)

Do you understand? Yes, there is an instructor who can be captured by a student in Vr.3. It depends on the person whether it is safe because it is a student and instructor from different schools. It’s a chance for the instructor of the knight school and the heroine Marieta to meet. From the time of Vr.3, the students of the Knight School will participate in the security of the Magic Academy, and because of that relationship, they will be involved with the instructor who came to supervise the students. Even though he’s in a position to be a director, he’s in a good mood with female students from other schools. I don’t think so, but that’s not the place to pay attention, but the students of the Knight School will be driven to security.

It seems that this concept has been between the two schools for a long time. It was moved forward by this fire incident.

Speaking of advances, according to Marieta, it seems that the demon king worship group was scheduled to start a fire at the academy a few years after we graduated, but that was also moved forward. The cause should be somewhere, but we don’t know at the moment.

I want to talk to her, and I wonder if Marieta will come back soon. . . While thinking about it, I watched what was going on outside the main gate.

Suddenly, I came up with an idea and asked Miriana, who was looking at the main gate next to me in the same way.

“Hey, Miriana. Do you know about the Invisible Phantom?”

Then Miriana looked back and looked down at me.

“The ‘Invisible Phantom’? It’s a ‘phantom thief’ who made a fuss about 20 years ago, isn’t it?”

“A ‘phantom thief’. . .”

“That’s right. Certainly, there was a rumor that he disappeared after being defeated while aiming for a valuable item or heirloom owned by Ursch’s grandfather’s company. Has Isabella ever heard such a story from Ursch?”

“. . . I don’t think so.”

“I see. Then the rumor may not be true in reality. I wonder if there was such a ‘phantom thief’ in the first place. It’s impossible to give a ‘letter of notice’ to the other party before stealing. It could be someone’s fiction.”

“I agree.”

After hearing my reply, Miriana nodded and looked back at the main gate again.

But I was in a cold sweat inside. I knew that there was a person in the Schneiver Company who had the skills to become a ‘phantom thief’.

I bet the hidden capture target is the mysterious guy from a few chapters ago. It just makes sense. Isabella really needs so start addressing Ursch without the ‘kun’. Even Miriana just calls him Ursch. But then again, knowing him, he may get over excited and die from happiness if Isabella really did that. And what did he mean ‘who the invisible phantom is following’? Like stalking? Or being an underling following a leader? I don’t understand at all. But I have an idea of who it could be. . .

Thanks as always to my commenters. I love you guys!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
