[Teacher and Disciple]
Cinzia, whose skin has been stripped off, moves her real body and chase after the younger children, making the yard of the orphanage full of children running around trying to escape a hollow armor.
“Cinzia-sama, are you not being a little childish?” (Noelia)
“No, no, we have to teach those children that there are things that must not be touched in this world. Like the saying curiosity killed the cat.” (Cinzia)
“Is… that the case!?” (Noelia)
“Yeah. Noelia watches out too, okay~. The occurrence of someone being erased for investigating something they shouldn’t have out of curiosity is commonplace in the noble society, after all~.” (Cinzia)
“Ah, yes. I will be careful.” (Noelia)
Cinzia’s bird, which have become bone only bird, perches on Noelia’s shoulder as she moves her real body.
“Cinzia, can you not give our children a strange trauma?” (Danton)
“Yeah. I’m sure that some children won’t be able to go to the bathroom alone in the middle of the night with this.” (Philia)
“It’s their fault for taking off my precious skin.” (Cinzia)
From their conversation, it seems that Cinzia doesn’t intend to stop moving her hollow armor.
“Finn-niichan, save us! Beat that scary armor—!”
“Scaryyyyyyyyyyy—! Ueeeeeeeeeeeee!”
“It’s comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!”
The children, who are running about trying to escape while crying, gather behind me.
It seems that if it’s not stopped soon, the children really won’t be able to go to the bathroom alone at night.
But well, it is Cinzia’s main body, so I can’t treat it very roughly, though…
In front of the approaching full-body armor, I touch the ground and start chanting magic.
“Clad in my mana, take the form of human. Summon Golem.” (Frick)
The soil I touch gets imbued with mana, swells up, and takes the shape of a person.
Controlling the created golem, I have it restrain the approaching body of Cinzia.
“Amaziiiiing! It’s my first-time seeing Finn-niichan’s magic! So cooool!”
“Go get ittt—! Beat that armor monster!”
“Finn-niichan, do your best!”
The kids hiding behind me starts cheering seeing the golem restraining Cinzia’s armor.
“Frick, can I take this as you wanting to have a match against me, your teacher? I’m the one who had my precious skin taken, though?” (Cinzia)
“It’s just the children’s mischief anyway, so I’d like you to stop this childish act. After all, I’d love it if my teacher, Cinzia-sama, were to behave the way a teacher should.” (Frick)
“Hohou, to think you see me in such a light. Frick sure have grown up, isn’t he? Though, I have dozens of times more experience in employment magic than you.” (Cinzia)
My golem and Cinzia’s armor grab each other’s hands and start having a contest of strength.
My golem is being pushed back……?
I have to put more magic power into it.
I attempt to strengthen the golem that seems to be losing in terms of strength by filling it with more magic power.
“Keep at iiit—! Don’t lose!”
“Do your best, Finn-niichan’s golem! Don’t lose to the armor made by the bone deviiil—!”
“Fuhahaha! Take that, Frick! Know that your uselessly vast magic power gives a negative effect on your summoned golem instead!” (Cinzia)
The body of the golem made of soil couldn’t withstand the magic power filling it; one of its arms blows up.
When I poured in more magic power than ever before, its arm blew up!?
Could it be related to the strength of the material that made up the body of the golem?
The golem, whose arm blown up, immediately gets pushed down by Cinzia’s golem, dropped to the ground on one knee.
“Fufufu, the match is now over. Quickly hand over the children behind you. If you do so, I won’t punish you, my disciple.” (Cinzia)
Having leapt up from Noelia’s shoulder, Cinzia flies around before me while urging me to hand over the children.
The children, hearing her words, cling to my waist.
“Nooo, Finn-niichaaaan!”
“Zave uuuz, Finn-niichaaan!”
I pat the heads of the frightened children.
“It’s okay, I won’t lose. If one isn’t enough, then I’ll just make lots——” (Frick)
Touching the ground, I start chanting and create dozens of golems at once.
One after another, the golems created out of soil throw themselves at Cinzia’s armor.
“Hey!? Wait!? You coward! Fight me one-on-one! It’s cowardly to take advantage of your magic power and overwhelm me with numbers!” (Cinzia)
Cinzia’s armor, which is swarmed by dozens of soil golems and pushed down to the ground, becomes immobile.
“Woon! Finn-niichan woon!”
“Woon!”
The children make a relieved expression seeing the immobilized armor.
“But let’s return the skin so that it won’t go wild again, okay? I think it won’t go wild if we do that.” (Frick)
I find the child who have Cinzia’s skin among the children.
“Ye~s, please return it~.”
“Thank you. Cinzia-sama, I’ve got your skin back. Don’t go wild again, alright?” (Frick)
“Can’t be helped. I’ll drop it here today.” (Cinzia)
The flying Cinzia perches on my shoulder and make a gesture as though telling me to put the skin on her.
I put the skin on Cinzia.
Afterward, Director Danton and Philia-sensei take the children to the classroom as it is time for them to study, and we, who are free, decide to take a look around the village.
