Chapter 150: Unexpected Bet (3)

Meow-!

Inside Kreto’s robe, the cat lifted its head. Kreto grinned at the little creature.

“This is the cat Her Majesty asked for. He’s a cute guy who sometimes disappears on his own. But he’ll always come back if you wait.”

“…I see.”

I quietly leaned back in the seat. The scenery outside the window was that of Haylech. Fortunately, we had already left the Imperial Palace.

“Anyway, just keep it a secret from Her Majesty. I think she misunderstood your loyalty as love. Hmmmm.”

“Yes. Fine.”

It was pretty bizarre, but it was a good change. It was proof that Sophien was feeling human emotions.

“Professor Deculein, your theory is a good read. They said you were invited to the Round Table these days?”

“Yes. It’s a little bothersome.”

The Round Table was one of the five pillars of the magic world, next to Bercht, the Magic Tower, Volcano, and the Floating Island. Of course, officially, it was four pillars since Volcano (the Ashes) were excluded.

“Haha… but, if you have time, can I ask you a question?”

I nodded.

“Yes. It’s fine.”

“Oh~, if that’s the case.”

A book appeared from Kreto’s broad robe. As if he had been waiting, he flipped it open and pointed at a paragraph.

“This part, I don’t quite understand this. The magic output isn’t satisfying. I think I set the circuit of this amplifier wrong.”

“Could you draw the formula?”

“Oh, here.”

I explained the magic to Kreto while Munchkin’s eyes twinkled.

… …

“Moron.”

Bang-!
