Perspective – Grey

"Something always feels wrong, this tower. ”

Looking up at the building that was getting closer and closer to him, the boy said something inexplicable but irrefutable as usual.

- Twin-Maung Taizeruma.

On the east side is the Tower of the Sun, and on the west side is the Tower of the Moon.

Neither the name nor the tower itself has any twisted sense like Stripping City (Adela). But that's why it's impossible to argue – something bad happens. The tower exudes such an aura. But it's just me and the boy who think so, after all, this tower is just a strange building just by looking like it.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Tower of the Moon.

"Please go this way. …… So, I wish you both a great time. ”

The driver nodded to us.

We stepped out of the carriage, and in a few moments the coachman and the carriage [melted into the air].

Like a fairy tale, all we left behind was a small toy soldier and a pony carriage.

"I'm going to fuck...... Ghosts, ghosts?"

Can't you put it mildly? I looked at the boy with some dissatisfaction. Even I, a ghost-fearing person, didn't think to go there, and besides, it was someone who sometimes made it weirder than a ghost.

The boy seemed to notice my gaze, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said:

"Oh, it's the god of mourning who crossed the border. ”

Even I couldn't help but pat him on the back of the head, and if my head was undercapacity, this person's head would be somewhere with a misaligned circuit.

"It is worthy of the orthodox division of the creation department (Baruye), and their skills in this area are their specialty. ”

Miss Rhaenys, who had perfectly ignored us, muttered to herself.

"—It's an honor to have your praise. ”

A deep baritone voice came.

"Welcome. Princess of Ermelo. ”

At the entrance to the tower, a gentleman about forty-five years of age bent down respectfully. He had brown hair, wore a scarlet suit, perhaps because of his impaired legs, and held a cane in one hand.

"I'm Byron Baruyereta Izeluma. It was a great honour for the princess to come all the way here. ”

"Are you the ruler of Izeluma? It was rude not to greet in time. ”

Rhaenys bowed politely. But it feels a little reluctant, is it an illusion?

Uncle Byron smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to signal us to the entrance to the tower.

"Please come in. The banquet has already begun. ”

Perspective – I

Under the ceiling of the banquet hall, it was filled with a solemn light.

The thick velvet blanket under your feet felt as if it was going to submerge your ankles, and the cool air was comfortable. The chattering and smiling figures around make it seem like a fantasy. According to Rhaenys, almost all the people gathered here are magicians, so what's wrong with saying that this is a dream world.

I looked around curiously.

"Trim, act on your own judgment. ”

“Yes，Master.”

Lenys asks the Mercury Maid (actually Mercury, I just saw the Mercury Lennice take out of the suitcase automatically turn into a maid. Listen to Lyenys herself, it seems to be a kind of magic dress) issued a free movement instruction.

Then, Rhaenys' magic dress looked at the lobby and said innocently.

“…… It's like a mountain of dung (I–didn't–know–theysacked–shit–that–high)!"

She spoke with an inexplicable smugness, which made people think that she was serious about saying this.

Leni didn't hesitate to punch her dress, and Grey, who was startled by the sudden remark, leaned over to me, cautiously began to look around.

There was beautiful music coming in.

The melody is reminiscent of the sea in the distance.

In the melodious sound of the trumpet, the piano weaves a delicate melody, and the strong double bass supports the undercurrent. The music is beautiful and light, and it even makes people want to tap dance.

“…… Well, I'll take a look around. ”

Rhaenys on the side whispered to Gray and walked away on her own, although I should have followed immediately as a guard, but no one would do anything to disgrace anyone on an occasion like this. Besides, Grey is also following, so I'll take this opportunity to have a meal, on the premise of not causing trouble.

With this decision in mind, I began to wander cautiously around the corners of the hall.

"Hmm...... No pasta?"

"Pasta is here. ”

It's a gentle voice. Probably a good person, if the "I" in my head doesn't give me a crazy wake-up call.

I looked back vigilantly - and was stunned.

Orange hair, orange eyes, orange dresses, orange shoes, orange earrings – mature women with orange all over were standing behind me with a smile on their faces.

"Heavy-ah-——!!!ah-

I couldn't help but scream, and everyone around me looked at it, but it didn't matter. What's more, after seeing the mature temperament shown by the other party, I felt that I didn't care anymore.

I fell to my knees with a thud.

If you lose, you will completely lose the moment you see the other party. That kind of temperament full of personality is something I can't imitate in my life. Damn, Himejin, is this your pain? When I first heard my brother talk about you, I laughed at you, and I was really stupid.

"That...... Are you alright?"

The woman who exuded her personality asked me with concern.

"First meeting. I'm Aozaki Orange. Although the gestures of both sides are not very suitable for greetings. ”

"Whew, when we first met, although we had the nickname 'Bitter Orange Seed', we didn't actually have a name. And I personally think that this just shows the difference in roles between the two sides. ”

"Ahaha...... Anyway, let's stand up first, it's a little embarrassing for me to be stared at like this by the people around me. ”

"Oh......"

I reluctantly stood up and stood face to face with Aozaki Orange.

“…………………… (What an interesting face.) ）”

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, it seems like there's a quarrel over there. ”

Orange Aozaki pointed with her chin, and I turned my head to look in that direction.

In front of them were two young men speaking sinister words to each other.

"Huh. Are you still delusional about making a name for yourself in the noble history of magic with your shallow bloodline? ”

"Do you still think that you can sustain magic on your own now that magic has declined? When exactly will you wake up from your daydreams? ”

"Ahh ”

Aozaki Orange shook her head, and although she said so, a pleasant smile appeared on her face. Could it be that this person is shaking more than I thought?

The sinister conversation continues.

"If there wasn't a New–Age clock tower, would it survive now?"

"Hahaha. The clock tower was originally built for the nobility (lord). I'm just rewarding you with some leftovers, do you really think you can make it?"

With these two people as the center, the atmosphere around them also became tense.

Although it was not to the point of saber rattling, the air filled with the smell of gunpowder instantly spread in the banquet hall.

Go ahead and stop it. If it doesn't work, run away immediately.

Just when I was thinking that-

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, yes!"

As if trying to squeeze between the two, a stumbling figure interjected.

No one had predicted the intruder, and as the magicians blinked, the drunken young man waved his hands exaggeratedly and spun in circles.

The red wine glass draws a parabola in the air.

With a bang, the young man fell to the ground in a large font.

He burped, and the smell was unbearable. Obviously, the banquet has just begun, how much has this person drunk?

"Yes, yes, yes. As an atonement—"

The slurred young man wriggled on the ground like a caterpillar, then burped again and covered his mouth.

It seems that because of his miserable appearance, the people around him are also completely disinterested. The magicians glanced at each other, sighed deeply, and dispersed. As if he was hiding from the dirtiest filth in the world, only the young man was left clutching his stomach in discomfort.

“…… Oh. ”

Aozaki Orange made a sound of appreciation. I was a little surprised when I noticed something.

"That's pretended?"

"Yes. ”

"But that's really drunk. ”

"He's in a family that's a family that can easily do that kind of thing. Look, isn't there no alcohol at all now?"

I looked at the young man again, and saw him take a pill with red wine, and in less than ten seconds the stench of wine emanating from all his pores had stopped.

"Wow......"

I can't help but exclaim.,Even the school city doesn't have such a significant effect of sobering medicine.。

"Maio Brissan Kleniels of the Legacy Section (Brissan). Although the family does not have as much power as Barsermelo, it is not inferior in history and research achievements, and is a typical neutral. In addition, because of the extraordinary diversity of the magical nature of the inheritance, it is considered to be the most scarcely documented discipline in the clock tower. Aozaki Orange took a sip of red wine: "Okay, it looks like he's entangled with your princess, and I should stop him a little." ”

Confused, I looked in the direction where Orange Aozaki was walking. I saw the young man caressing Lynice's mercury maid with a fanatical expression.

"Ah......h

Perspective – Lenys

"Mai O. ”

It was a gentle voice.

While it's good to be keen on research, it's better to be careful when touching someone else's magic dress. Otherwise, even if you are killed, you can't complain?"

Mai Ao turned his head when he heard this.

She is a woman with glasses.

Judging by her soft atmosphere, she seems to be an Oriental. Is it Japanese, I thought. In that Far East, although there are other organizations and magic tricks, I don't know if it is because they are also island countries, and it seems that they can often be seen in the clock tower.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Miss. Aosaki. ”

"Where? I think you did a good job of mediating the dispute. ”

Then she turned to my side.

"First meeting. I'm Aozaki Orange. ”

The woman has dull red hair.

It's a pretty rare hair color for Orientals, but I don't think it's dyed. Because the color of my eyes is different, it seems very close to the essence of this woman.

However, my gut told me that I had to say something about it.

No.

Before that, [this woman's name already made me shudder].

“…… Aosaki ...... Orange ......?!"

My voice was undecently hoarse.

I'm afraid that my expression now must be one that I don't want to stay in the record.

"You are, seal the designated ......"

"If you were to say that the seal was specified, it would have been broken years ago. ”

The woman smiled softly and whispered.

That's when I was about to scream, and I could only think that this woman could see through the time I went from cognition to shock to action. If this woman had been an assassin, she would have been able to easily decapitate me.

I took a deep breath.

Through this deep breath that shouldn't have been done in front of others, I finally got back to normal.

—Grey. This is the Grand I told you about. ”

The gray girl's shoulders shuddered.

That's right.

She was designated by the seal, the Grand of the Illusion.

I wanted to visit the battlefield at a leisurely pace, but I didn't expect to suddenly reach the final boss wandering in the wild, and this is the current situation. If it were my brother, he would have thrown the controller out while shouting, "Can I play this game?"

"First meeting. I'm Rhaenys Ermelo Archizorti. ”

I restrained my wavering and bowed respectfully, to which Orange smiled slightly.

"I know. Because Ermero's ancestors once entrusted me with a little work. ”

"The ...... of the Ancestors?, Kenis Ermelo Archibald?"

"That's right. ”

Then, the woman put her index finger to her lips, as if to say, we will talk about it later.

At this moment, cheers were heard from the depths of the lobby.

"-Looks like Golden Ji has appeared. ”

Orange turned his head away.

The evening has only just begun.
