“The thing is, why is he doing so much to conceal his activities and magic?” (King)
“Yes.” (Felmenia)
“Their movement is unrestricted, and since he just came to this world, there should be nothing to hide. Then, why? There’s no reason to…” (King)
That’s right; he is the hero’s friend. The king even ordered the castle to be friendly with them and cooperate.
But…
“The problem is, where Suimei-dono goes…” (Felmenia)
“Where is it?” (King)
“Archive room. He has brought back several books from there.” (Felmenia)
“Hoh? I thought he only holed up in his room, to think that he goes there, since he can’t return, he’s probably trying to search for information.” (King)
When the king hears “archive room”, he is surprised, but then he just nods.
He thinks that Suimei doesn’t want to lose to the absurdity of the summons, and wants to study.
The king admires him a bit.
That’s true, but there’s more.
“No. There’s also evidence of him going to the forbidden room.” (Felmenia)
“Wh-What? But, it’s not easy to go in there…” (King)
It’s where the historically important data is stored. Therefore, it’s forbidden and out of peoples’ reach.
“Furthermore, with ease…” (Felmenia)
“Wha-, then he only goes out and comes back from there?” (King)
Felmenia takes a breath and continues…
“Even to the summoning room.” (Felmenia)
“That’s impossible. The only ones who can enter it are me, the head mage, and you.” (King)
“Yes. But, somehow, Suimei can open it.” (Felmenia)
The atmosphere is heavy. The door is layered with multiple earth magics. Only people who have a great understanding of the earth attribute can open it.
That shows the extent of Suimei’s magic.
“What is he doing there…? Is a stupid question to ask, huh… Is he researching the summoning?” (King)
