"Wait, don't be so nervous, it's my fault, I shouldn't be fooling around......"

A sentence that debunked the "facts" made Moore and Vina almost regard this middle-aged man who was originally inseparable from friend and foe as enemies, but immediately, the next content of Dondal's mouth and his actions calmed down the mood of the two of them instantly, but it was indeed a little more incomprehensible to the "trickery" of the person in front of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Actually, I prepared the potions that limited the magic power, so I guess that's enough to make sense. ”

"Evidence?"

instantly understood the possible identity of the other party, but for the sake of safety, Moore immediately asked such a sentence. In addition, regardless of whether the man who always made him feel a little "cunning" in front of him was really as he guessed, the warrior could be sure that the other party's character of still refusing to "speak well" in this situation would cause them a lot of trouble in the future.

"Ha, you're really simple, I always feel that doing this kind of thing in front of a keen person like you will definitely be misunderstood as my bad personality. Enjoying the warmth of the teacup in one hand, Dondal lifted his neck slightly so that the few in front of him could not read his eyes, and the index finger of the other hand tapped delicately on the table.

"Okay, done. ”

Compared to the previous tone of voice, which seemed much more straightforward than before, Dondal, who stood up, made an exaggerated turn, but it seemed that he was just taking off his monocle and pinning it into the pocket of his coat on his chest.

"This is the 'mark' of association. ”

"That's right, it's also a means for 'guides' like me to contact you, the 'executors'. You guys, except for the captain, probably haven't seen it yet, so you can take this opportunity to memorize this pattern. ”

The clear voice was like two people, and the feeling of the man who turned around again had changed dramatically, and the feeling of kindness disappeared, and all that was left was the real sense of "coldness" that was different from Christopher.

His man was surprisingly quiet, but Troy read "repressed mania" in his waterless eyes, as if ......

"Alphonse?"

The boy remembered the enemy on the peninsula who had put himself and his companions in a bitter battle, and had fought hard to defeat him.

Dondal had a look similar to that of the man.

“...... Goo, overcome, and ...... And then it happened......"

However, this was not what Troy cared about the most, and once again he thought of the manic gaze of the man, as if he would never "stop", and the continued train of thought made him feel a little headache inexplicably in his muttering.

"Alphonse, ah, the one who killed Lance, right? Maybe we do have similar eyes, but as Lance's best friend before his death, I wouldn't be happy at all to be described like this...... Hmm, boy, your magic?"

The calm narration was broken by the sudden danger of being perceived, and Dondal, who took off his glasses, gave people the feeling of being more like a warrior like Morna, at this moment, the reaction speed of the warrior was even more obvious at this moment, and the next second he noticed the change in magic power, the man who jumped in the air had already appeared behind the boy who looked down as if he was sleeping, and his hands overlapped on his solid back.

However, the warrior's solution is magic.

"Troy?" "Boy?"

Vina and Ralph were also aware of the subtle changes in Troy's magic in the space of seconds, and expressed their concern. In the boy's body, the steady and vast magic of normalcy was covered with a layer of blood and killing without warning, but it was still different from the pure "evil" feeling that everyone felt when they first saw Troy.

Since he had not participated in the battle in the pirate camp, it was probably the "first time" for Ralph to experience this kind of magic.

"No...... It's okay, it's okay. ”

I don't know if it was due to Dondal's magic or his own efforts, but in just a few seconds, Troy's magic fluctuated and returned to normal.

“...... Thanks?"

The boy who said this seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Whew...... Looks like Lance has a troublesome new member, and thanks to you, I can now understand something I couldn't understand. Don't worry, about your magic ...... I'll put you in touch with someone who might have a solution, and that's what 'chief' means. ”

Behind the young man, because of the easing of the situation, and perhaps because of the young man's words of thanks, Dondal, who took off his glasses and judged the two of them, his tense expression also relaxed a little. The middle-aged man walked slowly back into place, but put his glasses back on without anyone noticing.

"You...... You used magic on me?"

Honorific titles are something that teenagers have only learned these days. Unable to hide his curiosity about a spell he had never seen or experienced, sensing his companion's concern, and after casting an apologetic look at the two people beside him, Troy tilted his head and asked his question.

In fact, even he was surprised by this situation, and the boy was even more curious about why Dondal took off his glasses as if he were a different person, and why he took them off, and then it didn't take long for him to take them with him.

"Well, it's 'sealing', which is a type of enchanting magic, and it's something I'm good at. That's why I was able to make that magic potion. Dondal, who put on his glasses again and smiled again, raised his teacup, took a large sip of the long-lasting liquid, and continued, "If you are interested in this, you may want to listen to my 'lesson'." ”

"Lessons are...... What?"

"We'll talk about that later. Waving his hand to stop Troy's question, Moore, who was the first to notice the change in the boy's magic power, but did not make any move, swept his still sharp gaze towards Dondal.

"Oh, what's the problem, Captain Moore, about the order you received this time?"

The middle-aged man with the teacup in his hand was not afraid of the other party's gaze, and took a sip leisurely, but Dondal, who seemed to be careless, calculated all the possible moves of Moore in his mind.

As the "guides" of the association, these people, who often have a considerable "social status", can also be said to be the "decision-makers" of the "association" organization. Building a better world without war is the desire of many people, but the more capable people are, the more they can understand how difficult it is to make this simple statement.

It is absolutely impossible to do it by one person, so since many people have such thoughts, why not let everyone join forces?

This is the original intention of the association. Now, the "executors" of the association are doing their job with this goal in mind, constantly looking for people who are willing to devote themselves to this beautiful but not destined to be so easy to realize "fantasy".
