This city is one of the top five largest cities in this fairy tale kingdom and has the largest fishing port in the entire country.
But now, unusually, there are no people working or playing near the port of Abisyo, which can carry hundreds of thousands of passengers every year.
The means of causing this phenomenon are not that big of a deal.
It's just that someone used the most commonly used method of "idler dispersion" on the magic side.
The problem lies in the 'why' used.
On a certain street in the port section, three people were standing.
Two women and one man.
If you observe a little bit, you will find that the atmosphere around them is not very good.
Don't let any strange misunderstandings arise. Although the man considers himself to be good-looking and capable, he is the one with the least presence among the three.
Of course, he couldn't be blamed for this, it was mainly because the two women confronting him were too powerful.
One is one of the top ten female magicians in London, and there are no more than twenty "saints" in the world.
The other one is the genius leader of the most powerful organization in the Golden Society, who has reached the pinnacle of magical attainments.
Kanzaki Kaori and Levenia Bardway.
Both of them are figures who stand at the top of the magic side in the UK and even the world.
It doesn't matter if they just have special status. The key is the background relationship between the two people. In terms of incompatibility, there is no problem.
As magic forces also located in the UK, the "Church of Necessary Evil" to which Kanzaki belongs and the "Crimson Sunlight" run by Badway are not to say mortal enemies, at least they are mutually antagonistic.
Needless to say about Kanzaki's own character, the purpose of the "Church of Necessary Evil" is to defeat evil magicians, and the behavior of the leaders of "Scarlet Sunshine" for generations has been to achieve their goals by any means necessary, and friction will increase with the accumulation of grudges.
Upgrading is inevitable.
I don’t know whether it’s because the world is too small or a chance relationship. They bumped into each other for a similar purpose, and the two people with extremely different compatibility are on the verge of breaking out.
"That's enough. What good will it do you to stop me here? Just because you are a member of the "Church of Necessary Evils"? Have you been tamed by that female fox into a house cat that can only be manipulated by others? What's wrong with you?
The stigmata is crying."
Raising her head arrogantly, the genius girl leader, who was around twelve years old, said with an impatient look.
She was completely merciless in her words and provoked her again and again, making even Kanzaki, who had a good temper, couldn't help but get angry.
"Ah, I understand. You just want me to tear your mouth out here, right? I understand."
Putting his hand on his weapon, Kanzaki seemed not to be prepared to endure it any longer.
Originally, she had other missions and was going to a certain city with Steele. Unexpectedly, when the two of them were doing intelligence work separately, she happened to see the leader of her sworn enemy moving in the same direction as her.
Out of distrust due to knowing the other party's details, Kanzaki hesitated and stopped the person. However, her original intention was just to 'inquire', and in the end, her words were not speculative at all.
At this point, she just wanted to let this bratty girl know what it means to have trouble come from her mouth.
"It's too late to admit your mistake now. I'll give you time to prepare. Don't cry and say that I bullied the small."
With a rare indifferent look in his eyes, Kanzaki took a stance to strike.
As soon as the opponent makes a move, she will kill him without hesitation.
"Very good, I like your choice. Mark! Bring me my weapon and see if I don't smash those two lumps of fat on her!"
Badway, who was laughing in anger, turned her head and waved to the subordinate behind her whose full name was 'Mark Speth'.
By the way, the 'dispersal of idlers' just now was also arranged in advance by Mr. Mark, who had a hard time talking about it.
"Boss, do you want to kill me? I can't survive a battle of your level. Even if you really have to fight, please let me find a place to take refuge first."
"And we finally found the clue. Is it really okay to waste precious time here?"
Instead of handing over the weapon immediately, Mark, who had always been the mediator, said it with a pun.
Then, he turned to Kanzaki and continued to work hard to prevent himself from dying.
"The 'saints' of the church, please also restrain yourself. You are not here just to quarrel with us, are you?"
I'm not as naive as she is.
With a snort, Kanzaki reluctantly suppressed the urge to draw his sword.
There might be another big battle in the future, so she needed to conserve her strength.
Good luck to you! You foul-mouthed brat!
You saved your life! Big old lady!
They glared at each other. Fortunately, they didn't know each other's thoughts, otherwise a new war would definitely be impossible.
Although the atmosphere at the scene was still very bad, it was finally no longer as tense as it was just now.
Unfortunately, the boss is still angry.
Enduring the pain of his instep being stepped on constantly and letting his leader vent his dissatisfaction, Mark's face was filled with pain and happiness.

**********
The effect of ‘Idle Dispersion’ is removed.
"...So, you are also here for that 'saint'?"
Staring at the Magic Queen and her servants waiting for the contact ship at the port, the worried Kanzaki stayed for the time being.
"Originally it was just a drop-in."
After bullying her follower, Badway clapped her hands happily and entered work mode.
Just like what she said, they were all fighting against a magician named Orenzi. After completing the mission, they thought, "Ah, since we are all here, we might as well come and take a look," and ran over here.
This outing-like mentality was maintained until the "angel" appeared a few days ago.
"Hey, let me ask you a question, do you know what our research field of 'Golden Magic' is?"
After kicking Mark twice, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Badway boringly found a topic to discuss.
Kanzaki frowned and remained silent.
Not wanting to answer such a rude question, she was also mobilizing information about 'gold' in her mind.
‘Golden Magic’ is just a general term, and its composition is very diverse. It is the product of the collapse and split of the world’s largest magic society, the ‘Golden Dawn’, which appeared in England in the late 19th century.
Although they have always claimed that their magic is modern Western magic, the prototype actually uses the methods of the Christian religion.
if that is the case.
Not paying attention to Kanzaki's silence, Badwig continued.
"It's not wrong to call it the 'Thelema System', but the key point is that before using the golden spells, you need a set of related steps, such as the corresponding rules for the concreteization of magic, the way of energy conversion, and the specific details of the elements.
The application and so on are complicated and cumbersome."
"Even if we reach our level, we can still only simplify the process. The reason..."
Clapping her fingers, Badway paused.
It's like saying something after emphasis.
"It's because we are 'human', isn't it?"
Kanzaki's eyes widened slightly.
She seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to say.
"That--"
Looking at the approaching ship, the voice of the Magic Queen overlapped with the sound of the whistle.
"What do you think would happen if someone became 'above human' without affecting the 'world of Kabbalah' and succeeded?"
