Chapter 13: Dance with faries (4)
As I skimmed through the lecture, I heard whispering around me. Next to me, Asti was reviewing the class content with shining eyes. This is an extraordinary level of sincerity.
... So it would have been possible to receive sponsorship under the name Frax Lancel, but honestly, it was a bit awkward.
-Did you hear? At the front gate of the academy this morning...
-Oh, I heard that too. I'm not saying that Frax did well, but I'm saying that Ah Lis did very well.
-Not really. If it had been just a little bit like that, would Frax have done the same? After playing with people's hearts for a long time, I finally settled my karma.
- Anyway, Frax is an attempted rape...
-Of course his actions were very wrong, but I think he had liked Aris so much. But he did this out of anger because that person was playing with people's hearts.
-Isn't Frax just pretending to be nice?
-If he had pretended to be a good person, he would not have supported students with such a large amount of money. How much money did the person spend? It is said that he loved luxury and pleasure from a young age, so he never enjoyed it and poured out all his savings... This is something that other people cannot easily do.
It was as expected. Even though Aris was a victim, she was viewed less favorably than sympathetically.
Of course, Aris is the type of person who doesn't care much about the reactions of people around her, but if she only listens to herself talking all day, her mentality is bound to be shaken whether she knows it or not.
Anyway, the main characters' hostility toward me was progressing well, step by step. In the first place, the Ruslans are united around Aris, so Aris' burning hostility towards me means that it will arouse resentment among the entire Ruslans.
If they don't try, the narrative won't flow. Frax Lancel's role is to serve as a foundation for their growth, and I will gladly serve as a foundation for their growth.
In the process, they go through many difficult paths, but those difficult paths will become the driving force that allows them to endure the middle part of the novel.
So it had to have at least the same level of power as the original. At this point, Ruslan feels quite strong, but he is still just a student.
You need to lay a good foundation from the beginning so that you can easily grow your chapter.
So now, to build a foundation, I was thinking of taking Asti to the Faculty of Magic and finding the secret garden.
If you check the location of the Fairy Fruit in advance and lure Ruslan there, Ruslan will be able to obtain the Fairy Fruit without any problems.
In the original, the Fairy Fruit was obtained around the same time, but there was no problem in moving the time forward a little. Rather, it was more advantageous to advance.
Since the original work is already slightly distorted by the variable 'I', it will be further distorted whether we know it or not. Originally, I hoped the story would proceed according to the original story... but it was this morning that I became convinced that it was close to impossible.
In that case, Ruslan had to be strengthened to a degree similar to the flow of the original as much as possible. No, maybe a little earlier.
The stronger Ruslan becomes, the closer he will get to 'everyone's happy ending.' Of course, that would make my survival a little more difficult... I just didn't want to have fun in the first place.
I also had to rely on Asti's power to become as strong as Ruslan. That way, you can support them after Chapter 3 without being killed by Ruslan.
Capture the appearance of the Department of Magic. A typical space for wizards, like a scene from a movie I saw when I was young.
This is where all the wonders of the Academy sleep, where randomly moving passages are common and there are dozens of secret spaces you may or may not know about.
For your information, Secret Garden is also one of those wonders.
"Why did you suddenly come to the Faculty of Magic?"
"I have something to look for. Asti. Is there a place where you can feel a strong magical reaction?"
"Where do you think this is? The Department of Magic. The magical response can be felt throughout the faculty."
"What is a 'strong' mana response? It's a particularly strong place."
"A particularly strong place?"
"Yes. It also feels like pure magical power."
A fairy is a creature born with an ego containing magical power condensed in the air. Since it shows a purity that is completely different from human-processed magic, Asti, who is more sensitive to pure magic because she is a demon, will be able to find it.
According to me, Asti concentrated her mind and soon began to tremble. Extreme rejection reaction. The sheer magical power of fairies seems distasteful to demons.
"I found it. Tsk tsk."
I suddenly feel annoyed by my always smiling face.
"Is this a rejection of pure magical power?"
"Okay. Oh, I feel dirty."
Asti trembled. It was a huge rejection. You may not know this, but you would probably have a similar reaction when you meet an adult in person.
"What on earth does this place with such magic do?"
"It's a garden of grumpy fairies. And at its center is the essence that created it."
"If it's essence, then it must be...Fairy fruit? How on earth do you know that?"
"well."
"Isn't this too mysterious?"
"I told you earlier...."
"Is it because I'm sloppy?"
"Okay. If you want to listen closely to what I have to say, make sure I trust you."
"Tsk. are you okay. Then why on earth?"
"Besides, I wish I could open the magic mirror."
"Magic mirror? Why?"
"Don't talk nonsense and do as you're told."
Asti's expression was strangely distorted due to her somewhat forceful attitude.
"I'll make you pay someday."
"Do what you want. I don't care what you do to me. You can make me pay it back before I die in the first place?"
"... "
"As long as you don't ruin my plan," he says, "like a chess piece on a floor, if you don't complain and do as you're told, it will work out someday."
Asti heard me and sighed with a strangely helpless expression.
"Okay. All I have to do is open the magic mirror over there, right?"
"But this time I want it a little stronger than last time."
"strongly?"
"Good. So we can fight really hard against the fairies. We have to take away their power."
"Relax? For what reason… Oh, you're not going to tell me anyway, right?"
"You know really well."
"Ha. Okay. And what else should I do?"
"Please tell me the location of the flower garden in detail. Because I have a lot of work to do."
"Location... Okay. Would you like me to draw you a map?"
"Then thank you."
Asti drew a map with a reluctant expression, spreading magical energy into the air. The location is...the 2nd basement level of the Department of Magic. This is a warehouse where all kinds of magic items are stored. And a door hidden in the deepest part of it all.
It was also buried deep. If you think about it, it's natural. Because fairies are vicious beings, they have the potential to confuse people, so they have no choice but to seal them deep in a place where people cannot see them.
Basement 2nd floor...it's okay.
Now all we have to do is get them there. It is not difficult to call them a flower garden. That's why I said harsh words to Aris earlier.
If it's Aris, and our righteous protagonist would do anything for Aris, he's definitely planning to beat me up one way or another.
So what I plan to do is have them approach me when I teach a class at the Faculty of Magic.
I tell Asti that I need to find a certain item on the second basement floor according to the magic professor's instructions, and if Asti guides me to where I am while I'm away...
At that moment, Asti opened the magic mirror, and all I could do was sneak away from where the fairies and demons were fighting.
In order to be safe in the fight between witches and fairies, the power obtained from fairy fruits is essential.
And Diana, a student at the Ministry of Magic, will recognize the power of the fairy fruit with her sensitive magic detection ability and will try to feed it to Ruslan, the strongest among the fairy fruits.
The process of reaching the fruit may be difficult, but when Ruslan eats the fruit with the help of several people, the first hidden piece will fall into the protagonist's hands.
I told Asti about the plan I had made and that we could execute it tomorrow during our magic class.
"Is it really okay to just do that? What more should I do?"
"Nothing."
Asti nodded with a gloomy expression as if she understood. I didn't think it would be good if it continued like this, so I decided to give her a reward that would satisfy her.
"If it's successful, I'll let you eat my emotions."
"ah."
"I think it's time to get hungry."
"... great."
This clause was written at the end of the contract before I changed it. Every month, when Asti asks for an appraisal, give it to her.
In fact, the contents were erased when the contract was written, so there was no need to offer up your emotions, but you could use it as compensation.
"You should work harder because you will get rewarded, right Asti?"
"Ha. Yeah, I'd rather die than get sick."
Asti nodded. But as she sighed, a strange joy appeared on her face. Since it was my feelings that brought her to me in the first place, I thought it would be quite satisfying to just eat it.
Asti's proactiveness would have been secured, but I just hoped that no unnecessary variables would arise this time.
I returned to the mansion with Asti, hoping that Ruslan would be able to eat the fruit. When Aris saw me riding the carriage, her eyes widened from afar, but she tried to pretend not to notice.
