It was already completely dark. Normally, Melissa, who should have been preparing to go to bed, had to get ready to go out.
Before leaving, Baron Vermeer kept telling him: "My daughter, remember, it is an honor for our family and for your talent to be favored by the earl. You must work hard for your Majesty, do you understand?"
?”
"I understand everything, Father."
"That's good."
"So, Father, if necessary, I think I should...leave this home. Can I get the corresponding funds? Maybe, I shouldn't stay here." Melissa asked.
"My daughter, could it be that," Baron Vermeer started to pace, "you were just slightly favored by the Earl, and then you forgot who provided you with the opportunity to learn magic, and here you are today?"
"No, Father, you misunderstood. It's just... thinking that living here may bring inconvenience to work..."
"Is it a dangerous job?"
"perhaps."
"Then let's talk about this matter tomorrow."
"Understood, then I'll take my leave."
When Melphis went out, she had already put off her bright college uniform and changed into a black dress of a similar style that had been prepared in advance. After leaving the courtyard, she took out a dark cloak and put it on her body.
"[Floating]." She cast magic on herself, making her body light and airy, and started jumping between the roofs of houses, because she didn't want others to see her becoming suspicious.
Perhaps the invisibility effect is better, but she hasn't learned the relevant magic yet.
[Floating] is the first-level magic. It cannot lift multiple objects. It was originally a magic used to facilitate the organization of objects. However, as long as the magic power is sufficient, it can also make things fly high, but the flexibility is quite low.
It can make the body light and easy to perform various difficult movements. Meliface is able to do this thanks to the multiple times of magic comprehension speed correction in her natural ability.
"What has happened to my life since I met her? Can't you just let me find a good man to marry in peace and quiet?"
Melifis was a little sad. Part of her original purpose of seeking out Crownpis - to gain strength for the family - had been achieved, because she was associated with the monster, and the nobles who supported the monster also gave her.
My father had a casual job with a high salary, and in a few years he could be promoted to a higher position. It was basically inevitable that he would be able to move to a wealthy area where ordinary people would be afraid of high officials.
The price you pay is that your life can no longer be called life.
Her father and mother have always been very concerned about her, but that is because she has powerful natural abilities that can bring benefits to the family. She overheard this when she was supposed to be sleeping, and her parents were afraid of her.
When does it go from initial unexplained worry to real fear?
At first, I naively pointed at some people and asked why those people had strange blue things (blue grooves) floating on their bodies. At that time, they were confused and worried. The parents thought that there was something wrong with their daughter's eyes.
Later, I looked at the magic refrigerator that I bought at home for a lot of money and found it very interesting. I secretly tinkered with it every day. After tinkering for a while, I was able to release the air conditioner with my bare hands. The fear must have arisen at this time.
In fact, the price of a magic tutor is surprisingly expensive. Before the establishment of the Magic Academy, the study of magic was very unsystematic and difficult, but my father still gritted his teeth and hired it, because——
It would be best to raise such a daughter well and then package her natural abilities and marry them off to a wealthy noble who is interested in magic. Even then, it would not be too late to start learning magic, and the parents would not have to pay for it.
However, parents are afraid. If they can learn the magic of refrigeration by themselves, can they also learn the magic of fire by learning the magic of fire? The life of a family is in the hands of their children.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment, so initially Melphis wanted to gain some benefits for her family in exchange for her own freedom. As for just rubbing oil on her soles and running away - after all, her parents still have the kindness to raise her, and she felt guilty in her heart for doing so.
make life difficult for.
However, he was completely sold now. His parents asked him what he was doing, but they couldn't tell him. Then the earl gave him an extra sum of money and kept silent.
Even though he knew that his daughter was doing dangerous things, he didn't show any concern. Instead, he agreed to discuss moving out for himself, so he must have sold it.
"Coming."
Meryphis dodged a wave of guards patrolling the cemetery, landed on the land dotted with tombstones, and casually smashed a newborn skeleton.
"Did I just steal a guard's reward for his work? ... Well, this place always feels scary. It took two months to build the place. The magic of civil engineering cannot be underestimated."
There is nominally a large tomb built here by the descendants of a nobleman who died half a year ago and spent a lot of money to build it. The rich and powerful people built this tomb, but this tomb also has other functions.
Merriface found the hidden mechanism and activated it. The place where the tombstone was supposed to be turned around half a circle, revealing a road leading underground.
"[Continual light]." Melphis created a piece of light in her hand, held the light and walked down, closing the tombstone door from the inside.
I walked to a small basement, which didn't seem to be soundproof at all. I could vaguely hear the sound of a group of high-ranking people from the empire having a meeting inside. I thought that I didn't need to go in. My task was to wait for those people inside to be ready to welcome them.
Afterwards, they took what they had prepared to go to Clawnpis and asked her to come over.
And a once-in-a-lifetime event that has nothing to do with humans after that.
Well, there's no need to listen to those people's meetings.
But, does it really matter? My relationship is not that easy to use.
In the past year at the academy, she had almost become Crounpisi's follower. She helped solve many of the troublesome things in the aristocratic interactions. However, the goblin, who was as powerful as a monster, was unusually lacking in magic knowledge. This made Mei
Liffis began to regain a sense of superiority to some extent, but even though she was faced with a structure that had no knowledge at all, she just had to break the casserole and go through it to the lowest level and it was no problem. What the hell?
It took a lot of effort for me to keep up with the monster's learning progress. So I am really a monster too? Is there nothing I can do if my parents are afraid?
"Merriface, what are you doing here in a daze?"
"Drink!" The sudden voice that shouldn't have appeared here frightened Melivis and took a few steps back towards the place where that person shouldn't have appeared.
"President Sophia? Why are you here?"
Even if she is not familiar with the student council president of the same class as Merriface, she certainly knows him.
In response, Star, who teleported directly from the edge of the magic tree, smiled.
