Final Trial of Mankind

"Hey, be careful that you won't find a wife in the future!"

"Don't worry, I'm not worried about this at all. Even if I can't find it, I still have you, an old woman, to accompany me!"

"I think you're really looking for death!" Celika's face darkened, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would probably use magic to bombard Mu Chen.

"Hehe~~ Celica, you have a good relationship." Alicia covered her mouth and smiled.

Although Alicia is quite old, she still maintains the beauty of being in her 20s. Not only is this action not disgusting, but it is quite cute.

This is probably a matter of mentality. If the mentality is young, the whole person will look young.

"No way, Your Majesty, this guy is just a fool. He can't control his mouth all the time. Although he has gotten better recently, he just keeps the principle of talking more and making more mistakes and not opening his mouth."

"Really? But..." Alicia was noncommittal about Celica's words, but she didn't continue to entangle her. This kind of thing is just a joke, and it's fine to stop. Then, she turned her attention to Lumi Ya's body, "I am very satisfied today. Although I just watched from a distance, at least I saw the spiritual appearance of the child who has been hanging in my heart with these eyes. In the future, maybe there will be no chance to see that child again." ...I'm sure I'll be fine."

"..."

"From now on, the only thing left is to pray for the happiness of that child. I feel like the stone in my heart has fallen. Hehe, so starting tomorrow, I can immerse myself in government affairs without any worries!"

"..."

"Ah, if there is anything else I want, I really want to see how the child looks like when she becomes a bride... But it really can't be done, the queen can't participate in a citizen's wedding ceremony."

"..."

"Ah, and more, speaking of marriage... just now, Glenn stepped forward to interrupt the child's competition. Didn't the child look at Glenn a little strangely? Could it be that she... Whoops!" Alicia continued her monologue almost as if she wanted to accept a fact.

"...Is this really all right? Alice!" Celica threw a straight ball.

"……Eh?"

"Just watch from a distance like this, and don't say anything to her... Is it really good?"

"That's...but, that's not okay..."

"Oh hello (really), who do you think I am?" Celica shrugged, "I'm the famous seventh step in Kitaoji, Celica Alfonia? Omniscient and omnipotent ——It’s not that powerful, but you can do most of the other things? For example, it’s about the same level as deceiving the eyes of the royal guards and creating a chance for you mother and daughter to reunite after a long absence.”

"... Celica!"

"Then? What should I do? Alice, do you want to meet with your daughter? Don't you want to?" With Celica's instigation, Alicia was confused because she didn't know what to do.

"Today, just at this moment, how about being a little more frank with your true thoughts? Your Majesty"

Unexpectedly, it was Eleanor who had stood quietly behind her until now and heard the conversation from beginning to end.

"Elenoia?"

The cautious Eleanor who said she wanted to keep the locket away did not expect to say such a thing, and Alicia showed surprise in an instant because of this.

"It's okay, Master Celika is the leading magician in the mainland, nothing bad will happen!"

"Look, the servants have said that!" Celica smiled mischievously just as I wanted.

Dean Rick looked at Celica's tough guidance and smiled wryly to himself.

Mu Chen, on the other hand, stared at Eleanor and frowned.

He had read the first two volumes of "The Unscrupulous Magic Lecturer and the Forbidden Canon", so he also knew that the head guard named Eleanor was an undercover agent, but he had to say that this guy had a really good hiding ability.

Before that, he didn't feel the malice, until now, Mu Chen finally felt the malice that was almost overflowing (in Mu Chen's view).

It seems that this guy is restrained very well!He is very good at controlling his emotions.

But Mu Chen can't attack her at will, after all, she is still the queen's bodyguard now, if she acts rashly without evidence, she will definitely be targeted by the queen's side, even Celica can't keep him, After all, not everyone knows the plot like Mu Chen.

Moreover, he does not have as high a reputation as Celica in Queen Alicia's heart. Although it can be revealed that the thing on the Queen's neck is a conditionally activated curse-killing prop, it may cause danger. Who knows if the other party has immediate The ability to activate spells.

Even if he can rely on his strength to kill seven in and seven out, he doesn't want to do it. There is a reason for the existence of social order, and now it's not the time to break it, Mu Chen doesn't have the time to make a negative lesson.

What's more, too much power will only instill fear in others.

This is also the reason why Mu Chen has been using swordsmanship in front of others.

In addition, Eleanor's existence reminded Mu Chen that he should not rely too much on malicious perception, otherwise, if he is approached and attacked by someone who can hide his emotions, even he will capsize in the gutter.

Of course, this result must be based on the premise that the sneak attacker can break through his defense with one blow.

Or the other party used indiscriminate means, such as poisoning.

Muchen doesn't have a constitution that is invulnerable to all poisons, so it will be a little troublesome if he gets poisoned.

037 Conspiracy against...

Glenn, recovering from the damage from the spell, started looking for lunch early.

But for him who has no money, it is impossible to buy regular food. For the past few days, the only food that Glenn is allowed to eat is the branches of the tree called Siroti.

Siroti is a deciduous broad-leaved tree with star-shaped leaves. Only the new shoots contain sugar in the sap. As long as you chew, the sugar can be absorbed to a certain extent.

A week ago, Glenn discovered the Syrotti tree near the entrance of the "Forest of Mystery" in the northern part of the academy area, and frequently went to that place to collect the twigs of Syrotti when he wanted to eat, so as to resist hunger.

"Nevertheless..." Glenn leaned exhaustedly on the bench in the atrium of the college with the branch of Siroti in his mouth, "I always feel like this, there is a kind of personality Duang as a human being." !Duang! The feeling of falling...Damn...I will never gamble again...Damn!"

Glenn was tearfully gnawing on the branch of Siroti, and Glenn looked into the distance with dim eyes.

"Hehe... there seems to be some strange garbage in the eyes..."

Glenn, who was wiping his eyes, was beeping loudly at this moment.

"Ah, teacher~"

Rumia, who was looking around from a distance as if she was looking for something, rushed towards Glenn as soon as she spotted Glenn, and she seemed to be holding something very precious in her hand.

"...Rumia, what's wrong?"

"That... a condolence item for the teacher."

"Condolence?"

Facing Glenn who was stunned in surprise, Rumia handed over a cloth bag.

"Here, there is a sandwich in it, because, teacher, it seems that he hasn't eaten much recently, if possible—"

"Thank you so much, Angel! Then I will accept it with a respectful heart—!?"

Glenn took the cloth bag from Rumia's hand in ecstasy, and opened it. There was nothing special inside, just a very ordinary tomato sandwich, but for Glenn now, it was already the most high-end court cuisine .

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ? What a wonderful thing to be alive --!?"

"Really, it's an exaggeration..."

Glenn gnawed on the sandwich as if in a dream. The sour taste of the tender tomatoes, the delicious taste of neither salty nor light, and the rich aroma of thinly sliced ​​cheese, jumped on the tip of the hungry tongue.

The ultimate touch is overflowing with the spiciness of granulated black pepper.

Rumia sat next to Glenn and looked at Glenn sobbing with his mouth full of sandwiches with a wry smile.

"By the way... this, did you do it?"

"Yes, I made it for the teacher... I want to say this, but I'm not the one who did it." Saying this, Rumia smiled mischievously, "Ahaha, I can't do it well because I'm clumsy. Cuisine..."

"Really? Then who made this?"

"It's a secret, because I wanted it that way... It was done by a cute girl in our class. Is that all I can say?"

"Huh~ Hmm. Well, it's fine if you don't know the origin of this bento!"

"Actually... That cute girl, in order to return a gift to a man who cared a lot before and was a little bit concerned, specially got up early to make this bento with all her heart, but because she was not very frank, she accidentally made this lunch. Didn't hand over the bento..."

"Although I don't know who it is, but it's really miserable..."

Glenn sighed sympathetically.

"However, the man's side probably also... It's rare for a girl to make a lunch box for him, but he quickly noticed it... This kind of bastard who can't read the atmosphere and is good at capturing girls is not a serious guy, right? Yeah, it looks like that girl doesn't have a good eye for picking men."

"Ah, ah ha ha..."

For some reason, Rumia was a little ashamed, but Glenn didn't notice it.

There is no way, after all, the person Glenn mentioned is himself, and his evaluation is very accurate.

"Well, well, don't mention that, because she seemed to be about to throw away the bento she made so hard, so I accepted it bluntly and brought it to the teacher."

"Ouch... Think of me as a substitute for the trash can. Well, it's not impossible, it's really helpful." Glenn made a nasal sound resigned to himself, but continued to gnaw on the sandwich even so.

"Hey, teacher, how is it? Is this sandwich delicious?"

Being asked this question, Glenn began to savor the deliciousness spreading in his mouth again.

"Delicious!" Glenn said bluntly, "Although it is not ingenious, it has been well worked out. Although it is very ordinary, it is very delicious."

"Fufu, if that's the case, then she must be happy for making this, right?"

Hearing what Glenn said, Rumia smiled slightly, as if she had been praised for her cooking.

After a while, the sandwich, which was quite a lot, was eaten up.

"Phew~ I'm full, I'm full...Thank you for the hospitality!"

"Hoo hoo, you're welcome...Although this is not what I should say!"

"Now you can extend your lifespan by three days...Okay, I can go all out..."

"...?" Rumia tilted her head at Glenn's incomprehensible muttering.

"Then, I'm relieved, let's go back to the arena!"

"Ok!"

Glenn and Rumia stood up from the bench.

at this time.

"The one over there is Glenn, right? That... just a little bit, can I bother you?"

Inadvertently, a female voice sounded from behind the two who were about to leave.

Glenn who was stopped turned around as if he was troublesome.

"No, no, it's totally inconvenient~ I was interrupted, we, right now, are very busy—— eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh—!?”

When Glenn saw the real figure of the person behind him, he screamed wildly.

"Female, female, female, Your Majesty—!?"
