Chapter [NaN]
Had some time before my break so here’s a chapter. Next release is 25th or 26th Jan!ission 1 Daily Life of Senior Magicians
Editor: Tseirp
The Kingdom Magic Research Institute, also known as the Ilarion residence.
“Hey Ilarion, I’m coming in.”
The man who entered with these words was Arthur Verasis, a magician and advisor to the Court Magician Order, sporting an impressive long white beard, a magician’s gray robe, and a large staff, looking like a typical magician.
“Oh, it’s you, Arthur. Hope you at least brought me a souvenir.”
Ilarion Baraha, the owner of the room, looked up from the letter he was reading to see Arthur.
“A souvenir? What is that?”
“What do you think? It’s a term by Ryo. I so much enjoy discussing magic with him.”
“...Oh Ryo, you’ve gone and gotten yourself involved with such a difficult fellow... poor lad.”
Arthur responded to Ilarion’s words, shaking his head.
Then, he suddenly looked at the letter Ilarion was reading.
“Hm? A letter?”
“Mm-hmm. It’s a letter from Roberto Pirlo.”
Ilarion said and put away the letter he had finished reading.
“Roberto Pirlo? You mean the Roberto Pirlo of the Union? Now, that’s unusual!”
“Do you know any other Roberto Pirlo? Him too...would have been a fairly decent magician if he had just given up his burdensome position to his successor and devoted himself to magic...”
Ilarion shook his head and said with a look of deep regret on his face.
Seeing this, Arthur chuckled.
Reason being that, he’s aware of Roberto Pirlo’s status, and the fact that it’s not an easy position to give up.
“I agree that he’s an excellent magician, but...you do realize that if he were stronger, we wouldn’t be here alive, right? Well, I guess the matter of his position can’t be helped.”
With that, they both moved toward the reception area.
But Ilarion Baraha could do it.
He recited three chants in rapid succession....
“Your ridiculous chanting speed is as fast as always.”
Arthur was stunned next to him.
All three chants were chanted in about three seconds.
It was far beyond the level of ‘fast-talking’.
“Hmph. It is my only redeeming feature after all. I wish to be able to use no chant as well, like Ryo.”
Ilarion replied.
“Come to think of it, I saw Ryo outside the city walls this morning.”
Arthur said, remembering.
“Outside the city walls? What was he doing there?”
“Beats me.... I only caught a glimpse of him.”
“Speaking of no chant, I just remembered something. Schwarzkopf’s daughter used magic without chanting.”
Advisor Arthur said, recalling the scene from the withdrawal battle on Desborough Plains.
“When you say Schwarzkopf’s daughter...are you talking about Natalie? She was to take over the Schwarzkopf family for her achievements in the liberation war, wasn’t she? It’s a good thing to be young, the possibilities are endless.”
“Yeah. But now that she has taken over the family, Natalie might leave the Magician Order. It’s not easy losing a capable colleague.”
Arthur lamented, shaking his head.
“But Arthur. You followed me, and yet didn’t do anything.”
“Well, it’s because I’m a fire magician.”
“Fire-attributes are indeed unsuitable for hunting. It burns everything, that even the materials from the defeated monster become unusable.”
“I won’t deny it, but...Ilarion, your wind blades also pierced the entire body of the Greater Bear, so we can’t use the bearskin, can we?”
“Ah...”
At least, the Greater Bear’s magic stone was successfully recovered.
