Chapter 039 – Magic Stone Princess – Last Part
“Magic Stone Princess” — Meiya, a magician from the Dragon Continent, finally arrived at the magic school in the Fairy Human Continent after a bit more than a month.
She was staying in a certain town close to the magic school.
Naturally, it was at the most expensive inn’s most spacious room.
She was going to go to the magic school from the town by coach.
Due to its nature, magic schools were built on wide open spaces.
There were regulations against building private houses on its periphery.
It was to avoid causing damage to the surrounding area during the training of magic.
This magic school was made of stone like a fortress with student accommodation built around it.
Furthermore, its circumference was enclosed by two-layered walls.
While it was also made to defend from external effects, but its main purpose is to defend against magic attacks from inside.
Meiya’s coach stopped at an established guard station on the outer wall.
The driver of the rented coach got into a fight with the guard.
It seems like since they came without a letter of introduction, they couldn’t go in… so refused the guard.
The driver who was hired on-site pointed toward the coach and asked the guard to talk directly with his employer.
With a troubled expression, the guard knocked on the coach door.
The maid who came along to take care of Meiya was about to deal with the situation, but was stopped by Meiya.
It seems Meiya intended to personally talk with the guard.
The maid respectfully opened the door.
The guard inquired while scratching his head:
“Uhh… I’m sorry, but it’s the rules that unless you’ve made arrangements to meet a family member or otherwise own a permit, I can’t let you in. If it’s acceptable, could you schedule an appointment and come again at a later date?”
The guard spoke in a businesslike manner.
That attitude annoyed Meiya.
Even though it wasn’t on purpose, his speech was inappropriate considering he was talking to this Meiya, the world-famous genius.
She ordered the guard at point blank range.
“Tell the headmaster that Meiya Dragoon has come. He will understand with just that.”
“Me… Meiya Dragoon…!? You are the Magic Stone Princess!?”
It seems he was not a guard for nothing. He even knew her name.
A complete change from his earlier businesslike attitude, he stood at attention and his voice was shaking.
“I, I am terribly sorry. I will set up comms with the headmaster at once, so please wait just a moment.”
“Make it quick.”
“Yes! Right away!”
The guard went back into the station for a short moment, left a message to his colleagues who were on standby, and ran off to the school.
It took about 30 minutes before the guard returned to the coach.
”I, I’m terribly sorry to have kept you waiting! Since the headmaster is currently absent, the principal will be taking his place in receiving you, so please proceed toward the front entrance.”
“Thanks for the trouble.”
After saying those few words, Meiya started moving again on her coach.
Passing through the outer and inner wall, she finally arrived at the front entrance.
There, a teacher was already waiting for her.
It was a balding man who seemed to be very nervous.
He stood at attention as he greeted Meiya’s coach.
When Meiya got off the coach, he bowed with a smile while sweating profusely.
“It is an honor to meet you, Meiya Dragoon-sama. I am the teacher in charge of teaching classes on magic tools here. I am Kahlua of the human race.”
“Nice to meet you, Kahlua-san. I apologize for the sudden visit.”
“Not at all. To be able to meet Meiya-sama, the famed magic tool inventor, is a great honor… Now then, speaking while standing here must be uncomfortable. Please, come in.”
When Meiya and her maid entered the school building, they were shown into a parlour.
Inside the room, there was a leather sofa, a table made of insect carapace, flowers arranged in vases, and the walls were lined with paintings. The view from the window isn’t that magnificent since this was the first floor, though. It was an exceedingly ordinary parlour.
A woman who seemed to be a human race office staff brought some roasted fragrant tea.
When she went out of the room, Kahlua proceeded to talk business while wiping off his sweat with a handkerchief.
“So to what do we owe this honor on this day?”
“I’ve come to meet with a student here, Snow-san, a girl from the Beast race’s White Wolf tribe. Would it be possible to call her over?”
“S.. Snow-san!? What did she do this time!?”
“This time?”
Meiya reflexively inquired in response to Kahlua’s agitation.
While wiping off his even more abundant amount of sweat, he flusteredly explained.
“She is an excellent student… perhaps too excellent. As it is, she’s often gets involved with trouble. Completely overwhelmng 100 soldiers from a freshman’s private army; counterattacking upper class aristocratic men who approached her; single-handedly crushing adventurers who were, for some reason, hired by a merchant… ju, just remembering it all makes my stomach…”
“Oh my… these merchants certainly exist… how rude of them.”
Meiya nonchalantly offered her sympathies
No matter how you slice it, that last merchant was definitely one of the people who acted because of her request.
“I understand what you’re saying. However, there is something that I simply must talk to Snow-san about. So could you please call her over now?”
“I… I understand. Though I think she’s probably in class right now, I’ll call her over right now.”
Kahlua left his seat and left the parlour at a brisk pace.
Meiya and her maid waited for roughly 10 minutes.
The sound of a knock.
After Kahlua, one female student showed up.
Lily-white skin, large pupils, and eyelashes long enough to be a shadow.
Her long silver hair was held up in a ponytail, and similarly colored wolf ears sometimes slightly moved.
She was a charmer who was beautiful like a spirit of the snow, yet also cute at the same time.
A metal bracelet she wore on her left arm reflected the sunlight coming in through the window.
But what was most eye-catching were the huge breasts that this magic school student was showing, which couldn’t be hidden even by a mantle.
A beautiful cute charmer, yet also the owner of huge breasts; this unbalance probably tickles male instincts.
Even the upper class aristocratic male students, who were not want for women, would want to court her.
With her right hand on her chest and left hand just barely lifting her skirt, Snow bowed her head.
A prim and proper salutation.
