    ◈ Episode 106 Operation Plan (2)

    “Owner. What kind of method are you talking about?”

    Violetta who had been listening quietly could not contain her curiosity and asked.

    Instead of giving a direct answer Ludger called Hans by name.

    “Hans.”

    “Yes brother.”

    “Is it possible to confirm the structure of the underground storage room that can be observed in real time through this artifact?”

    “Are the drawings here not enough?”

    “Things that are not shown on the drawings. I’m asking about the arrangement of internal items and the detailed structure. Is it possible?”

    “It is possible.”

    Hans pointed to the drawing of the Kunst auction house.

    “The only way to go to the basement storage room of the Kunst Auction House is through this elevator but that only applies to the way ‘people’ can go.”

    On one side of the drawing Hans pointed to there was a small passage connecting the above ground and the underground.

    However it was so small that it did not appear to be a space where people could pass.

    Ceridan said after realizing what kind of structure it was.

    “It’s a vent.”

    “That’s right. The basement storage room must store valuable items so temperature humidity and cleanliness must be maintained. Magic has its limits. As a result the air has to be circulated periodically and there are bound to be vents for air to pass through in several places.”

    “But how are you going to cover this? Are you going to go in yourself?”

    “I’m not going there myself. “Are you crazy enough to think I’m going to rub myself into that narrow hole?”

    “It wasn’t?”

    “I said no. “I have a friend who can go in instead of me.”

    “friend?”

    Sheridan glanced around.

    No matter how I looked at it none of the members gathered here could fit through that narrow hole.

    Hans sighed and whistled at Sheridan’s immature appearance.

    Take a picture.

    At that moment a small crying sound came from a corner of the room.

    Where everyone’s eyes turned there was a small mouse.

    In an instant the guy crawled over and stood in front of Hans.

    When Hans bent down and held out his hand it came up and settled on his shoulder.

    “This friend will check for you.”

    “…mouse? Did you just call a rat your friend? I’m sorry Hans. “I’ve been bothering you a lot lately right?”

    “I’m sorry Mr. Hans. “I didn’t know you were under so much stress…”

    “Why are you looking at me like that!”

    Hans frowned at Sheridan and Bella Luna’s attitude.

    “It’s not like that so don’t worry. “As you know my constitution is a bit unusual right?”

    “Not much right?”

    “…anyway! I gain strength by borrowing the kindness of beasts but in fact I mainly use my abilities in a different way. “It’s about communicating with these kids.”

    “Communication? With animals?”

    Hans thought it would be easier to show instead of tell so he carefully placed the mouse on his shoulder on the table.

    Then he raised his finger and pointed at the mouse.

    “Turn around.”

    Then the mouse spun around in its seat.

    “Stop.”

    When I told him to stop he stopped immediately.

    “earth.”

    When he made the shape of a gun with his finger and pretended to shoot it the rat fell to the side.

    He pretended to be dead.

    “That’s fascinating.”

    Pantos who had been silent until now let out a low exclamation.

    As a beastman the mere fact that there were humans who could communicate with animals felt like seeing another world.

    “Oh. Pantos can’t you talk to animals? “You are a prisoner.”

    “Just because you’re a beast doesn’t mean you can communicate with animals. “This is something that can only be done by a tribal shaman who has been trained within the tribe and who properly handles the spirit of Mother Nature.”

    Even then only simple communication is possible.

    There was never a case in his memory where he gave instructions in such detail and had them carried out.

    In fact Hans was embarrassed when the prisoner Pantos said that.

    “Is that so? “I just did it.”

    In fact ordering rats to relay news played a bigger role in Hans’s ability to gather information that others did not know rather than carrying out espionage activities himself.

    People think that other animals are unintelligent and stupid but they are actually quite clever even though they cannot communicate with humans.

    Above all the senses of animals were often much better than those of humans.

    “Hmm. Anyway if we send a few more along with this friend we will be able to check the internal structure in detail. But what are you going to do with it?”

    “I’m trying to open up possibilities.”

    Ludgar stroked his chin and turned his gaze to Sheridan.

    “Sheridan.”

    “What did you think while looking at this artifact that transmits video in real time?”

    “Uhm. It’s definitely an interesting item right? Another crystal ball shows the surrounding scenery as it transmits sound through magic waves. The person who first created this put in quite a bit of thought. “But why?”

    “If the conditions are sufficient can something similar be made?”

    “What if it’s similar?”

    “For example applying the same surrounding scenery to this display.”

    “display?”

    ah.

    Ludger realized that there was no such proper noun in this world yet and immediately added an additional explanation.

    “It refers to this thin and wide plate. “I thought it would be appropriate to print the video I shot somewhere else here.”

    “Hey. It’s a display. That sounds pretty good. Anyway what Nari is saying is that you asked me if I could make something that transmits video to this other side than this display right?”

    “okay.”

    “It is possible. Because there is actually something called a projector. You could probably make something similar to that in a similar way. However the quality cannot be guaranteed. “Continuity may be reduced due to lack of time.”

    “It doesn’t matter. “I won’t be using it for a long time anyway.”

    “But what if I make this? Looking at this shape it looks like the crystal sphere that is taking pictures and the display are one artifact. Can we not make a display?”

    “There’s no need to make that.”

    “uh? Why?”

    When Sheridan asked while tilting his head Ludger replied that it was no big deal.

    “Because there is something that has already been created.”

    “Already made? …ah.”

    Sheridan and the other members who were quietly listening also noticed what Ludger was saying.

    Why did Ludger want to check the internal structure of the storage room in detail?

    Why are you trying to create a camera to transmit video to the display?

    “Alex.”

    “Oh yeah. leader.”

    “You um. “I need to do some acting in the middle.”

    “performance? “Which one?”

    “It would be good to have a son from a noble family from the Southern Kingdom. He doesn’t know much about the world but he has a lot of money and acts like he’s going to spend it extravagantly. I need to wear a matching outfit as well. “Violetta.”

    “yes. “Owner.”

    “Can you make Alex some clothes worn by southern nobles? “It has a design that looks luxurious at first glance.”

    “Anything is possible.”

    “good night. “Bella Luna.”

    “yes yes. “What should I do?”

    Ludger threw an ampoule filled with red liquid to Bella Luna.

    Wow!

    Bella Luna hurriedly accepted it with both hands.

    “What about this?”

    “It is a drug created by some warlocks while experimenting. Analyze it.”

    “yes yes!”

    “And just in case you don’t know… is it possible to make a chemical that is harmless to the human body but irritating if it comes in contact with the skin? “It is possible to spread widely.”

    “I think it’s possible.”

    “Let’s order that too.”

    “All right.”

    Ludger’s gaze turned to Arpa.

    He seemed to be already excited to see what orders Ludger would give him.

    “Arpa.”

    “yes!”

    “You just wait.”

    “Eh. “Am I not doing anything?”

    “Because there’s no need to do it right now. You will invest at the right moment. Until then stay still.”

    “Tch.”

    “Pantos. “You too.”

    “i get it.”

    Unlike Arpa Pantos immediately nodded and agreed to Ludger’s words.

    “One week left. Until then let each of you do your best.”

    * * *

    Meow~.

    Line stopped eating and stared into space with unfocused eyes.

    Erendir who was watching the scene from the side called out to Rine.

    “Rine’s junior?”

    “….”

    “Line junior!”

    “Hot! Yes yes?!”

    Erendir who had been eating with her on a mat looked at Linne who was startled and had barely come to her senses and looked at her with worried eyes.

    “What’s going on these days? “Are you in any pain?”

    “Oh no. It’s not like that…”

    “Now that I think about it I heard you went to work part-time recently and got caught up in a terrorist attack? “Did you get seriously hurt back then?”

    “no. There is no particular injury. Even back then Professor Ludger…”

    “Mr. Ludger?”

    When that name came out Erendir reacted curiously.

    However Line who actually brought up Ludger’s name was once again immersed in her own world.

    Erendir sighed and grabbed Lyne’s shoulder and shook her lightly.

    “huh. Hot?! oh! I’m sorry. “I ended up dazed again.”

    “What happened with Mr. Ludger?”

    “yes yes? “My me?”

    “I heard that Teacher Ludger said something earlier. Could it be… that teacher touched you or something?”

    As Erendir’s expression gradually turned cold Lyne desperately waved her hands.

    “It’s not like that!”

    “Isn’t it like that?”

    “It’s just that you saved me when I was in danger…”

    “ah. Was it something like that? What else can I say? “But why are you so blank?”

    “It’s just that a strange memory suddenly came to mind.”

    “A strange memory?”

    “I think I’ve met Mr. Ludger before…”

    Erendir seemed to have cooled off after hearing Linne’s words.

    “Didn’t you just feel that way because Teacher Ludger saved you in a moment of crisis?”

    “Is that so?”

    “You may feel that way because the opposite sex directly saved you in a moment of crisis. I saw it in a recent paper. Did you say the swing bridge effect? “Aren’t you falling for that teacher Lee’s junior?”

    “yes?!”

    Line’s face turned red.

    “It’s not like that! Don’t make fun of me! senior!”

    “I’m glad you said no. “If it really was like that…”

    “…What if that were the case?”

    “Because I would have done anything to stop it.”

    “yes?”

    Linne found it completely unexpected that Erendir would say such a thing.

    “Senior do you hate Mr. Ludger?”

    “Rather than saying I don’t like it… um. It’s a bit ambiguous. It is true that I was annoyed at first because the new teacher changed the class conditions arbitrarily but it is not something to say because I have proven my ability.”

    “So?”

    “But I can tell. “Mr. Ludger Chelisi smells like something dangerous!”

    “Dangerous… smell?”

    What kind of smell is that?

    “How should I express this? hmm. “You may know my junior but I am the princess right?”

    “Yes I did… I did.”

    “It was like that right?”

    “Oh no! It was! yes!”

    Rine hastily answers Erendir who narrows his eyes and asks.

    When I thought about it it was like that.

    These days Erendir often shows unexpected appearances which has diminished her dignity as a princess so much so that Rine has forgotten about her.

    “Hmm. Anyway I’m a bit sensitive to other people. Should I say I’m sensitive? Because of my status I have no choice but to meet a lot of people. As a result my senses developed in this way. “It means that we can roughly distinguish between dangerous categories.”

    “ah. I see.”

    “But the biggest problem is… I guess it’s my sister’s presence.”

    “Sister?”

    There was only one person who came to mind: the older sister of the princess Erendir.

    Erendir has one older sister and older brother. And down below there is one younger sister and one younger brother.

    Basically the royal family members fight or compete with each other for the right to succeed to the throne.

    But surprisingly the Exilion Empire had nothing like that.

    This is because there was an unshakable successor that no one could refute.

    Surprisingly it was the 1st princess not the 2nd prince.

    The 2nd prince was also capable and well-respected but even he could not show his business card to the 1st princess.

    The first princess was a being of a different class.

    So much so that it can be said as a joke that he has escaped humanity.

    Even Rine who was ignorant of these things had vaguely heard of the 1st princess so it was possible to guess how high her status was.

    “But why First Princess?”

    “It is entirely because of my sister that I am able to tell whether a person is dangerous or not. “Because you are that kind of person to me.”

    “Aren’t you family?”

    As an orphan Linne had no brothers or sisters so there was nothing that really resonated with her about the existence of her sister that Erendir spoke of.

    However looking at Erendir’s expression it seemed like she did not like her sister very much.

    no. Rather there was even a subtle fear in her eyes.

    “anyway. “I realized one thing while watching Mr. Ludger.”

    “If you realized it…?”

    “That teacher.”

    Erendir von Exilion.

    As the third princess of the Empire she recalled the moment when Ludger Cellisi first appeared in the classroom for class.

    The dangerous and cool vibe he gives off.

    “She’s similar to my sister.”
