“Wiped out…”
I think this is the first time I’ve heard Royce-sama speak in such a low and hateful voice.
So he can speak in non-refreshing tones too.
“What’s wrong, Royce-sama?”
“The soldiers that father sent to apprehend that girl were… wiped out. Moreover, the girl is currently on the run.”
“Even though I said that I would gooo~.”
It seems that the OP heroine is even more OP than expected. Even though there were talented magicians mixed in with the troops, they were still wiped out without a problem.
“Noo goood. Until you can control your magic power, I won’t let you out.”
Pulled back by arms that stretched out from behind me, I obediently settled into Achille’s arms.
Even though I used to get so panicked… because I went through that summer vacation Homework Hell in his arms, I think I’ve got quite an immunity to it now.
“But, Achille…”
“Can you guarantee that you won’t run out of magic power when facing that girl? And moreover, until His Highness gets permission, he can’t make a move either.”
“Uu… You’re right.”
The one that was most vexed right now was the currently pissed-to-the-max Royce-sama.
Using our time in recuperation …which is really just a pretext, at present we’re not even going to class, and are gathered in the castle.
As usual, it’s Royce-sama’s room.
Since we had the time, we took the trip to the castle as a chance to have Achille teach me mana control.
I still haven’t been able to control it much though… I mean, it’s something that takes a lot of details. I’m bad at things that need precision in general.
But in order to face the Heroine, I have no choice but to do it. I don’t feel in the slightest that I can beat her in mana volume, so there’s no other way…
I have faith that piling up these little practices will become something meaningful.
After I died from feeling fed up with it, Achille threw into my mouth one of the pseudo-macarons that was on the plate on the table.
“Mn, sweet ♪”
I munched on it.
While I was in a daze because of the pseudo-macaron, Achille sat down on the sofa, still holding me in his arms.
“Hang on Achille, like this I can’t mov-…”
“Do you want another?”
Achille brought another pseudo-macaron to my mouth…
“I do!”
In the end, I lost to the allure of the macaron.
While I was behaving, the conversation between Royce-sama and Achille progressed.
“Your Highness, regarding the reclamation of the town…”
“According to my father, it’ll be left to me. Ever since they failed to capture that girl the other day, I haven’t really been able to go on the offensive… Don’t you think this is a good chance?”
