My task is primarily to supervise and advise. Review the compiled report to see if there are any problems and advise if necessary.
But Yuffi told me not to do much except ask for advice. Let me think in the field first, and if thereâs still nothing I can do about it, Iâll be counted on.
If it were to be resolved with my advice, how could I have made such an idea? From what point of view did you see that advice come out? You think itâs training to develop that kind of imagination?
âBut Iâm inspired, too.â
Now that magic has spread and is settling in. Itâs this country thatâs why the idea is starting to pop up. It would be Halfis walking at the head of it.
Halphisâ attempt to make fundamental improvements in magic and build a new generic technology system brings to mind images like programmers where they say they are in previous life.
Updating and pioneering a technological system called magic. True, Halfis is one of those people who has been taught by me and is running through the cutting edge of the era. I hear sheâs busy every day because of that and sheâs about to turn her eyes.
I think itâs good to have such a full life. I envy you just a little.
Well, I had nothing to do, so I was walking around the royal castle.
The maids and knights in the royal palace laugh at me casually and give me a thank you. My odd eye for me has completely diminished already. I donât think itâs because I havenât been making noisy noises lately either.
I think the influence of working hastily within the Royal Castle to spread magic in the Ministry of Defense remains. It can be a bit unsettling for everyone to favor it.
I was not comfortable with the favorable gaze and correspondence, and came to a lesser spot in the royal castle to avoid the eyes.
âAh.â
â⊠Mmâ
I turned my eyes round to the ancestors who were there. And it got awkward at the same time.
The customer also has my eyes on me and what a subtle look.
â⊠Am I interrupting, son of Count Voltaireâ
âI donât mind Lang. Her Highness Sister Wang.â
Lang Voltaire, a former Ministry of Magic elite who hated each other so much. Although he has now moved to the Ministry of the Spirit, its size had also been forced to shrink due to the division of roles.
At the same time, his influence on politics was greatly reduced, which made him totally grown up. Even now, a short time ago, Lang was on the top of the Buddha, with a mixed grin of hostility.
⊠Itâs also kind of awkward to walk away. We canât say anything to each other, only silence spreads.
â⊠turned into a ministry of spirits, how about it?
Then I asked Lang that, unable to bear the silence.
I donât hear a lot of rumors about the Spirit Ministry. I canât even see the movement. Every day, people say they are busy praying to the Spirit and compiling material from the past, so the topic doesnât come up prominently.
Lang turns the gaze he was deviating from, just to the side. But it was also out of sight in an instant.
âI am surprised that Her Royal Highness Sister Wang is interested in the Ministry of the Spirit.â
âThatâs what I saidâŠ. Iâm just wondering what the air is because Iâm not directly involved.â
âHeâs a generous man. He said he could care about the fate of those of us who once despised youâŠâ
I feel like I havenât seen a mocking, his-like grin in a long time. But it looks more like itâs aimed at me than at me.
âI didnât know you were doing something to be despised⊠now, I thinkâ
To my grunt, Lang came again at the gaze he had deviated from. Now it was my turn to get out of sight.
âBecause I couldnât afford it either. This is how I can calmly talk to you now, but I donât think I was the one with the nose a while ago. Honestly, itâs not like I donât have anywhere to think about it.â
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
âSorry, youâre having trouble reacting.â
â⊠noâ
I could see Lang shaking his neck left or right at the edge of his sight. Only silence passes without being able to leave the scene even though we remain out of sight of each other.
â⊠Did you propose the Ministry of the Spirit out of pity for us?
âNo, I canât say. Because I also found the truth about the Spirit Contract to be a drama drug. And the effect of publishing it. ⊠so I canât say I donât feel sorry for youâ
â⊠Really?â
âBut itâs also true that I want to take care of culture. Itâs not my intention to lose what Iâve been piling up. Because it is definitely prayer and faith that has supported this country in its magic so far. But the only thing that makes me stick to it is⊠I think Iâm scaredâ
What if I wasnât here and the truth about the Spirit covenant wasnât revealed? I wonder what the hell was going on in the Kingdom of Palettia. Maybe he was repeating the tragedy of the first king.
I think itâs important to believe and think. But Iâm afraid to keep moving forward without being sure of anything. There may be a pit ahead.
â⊠I think I was scaredâ
â⊠are you scared?
âI canât really use magic. Itâs something I canât handle for the rest of my life. Still couldnât give up. Thatâs all I was in a hurry for.â
So much so that I think thatâs what I was born for. I canât erase this longing for magic.
So there was no way to admit the fact that I couldnât reach it. Fortunately, I had the knowledge to stay. Thatâs why I kept running.
âIf I had accepted the idea of the Ministry of Magic at the time, my heart would have died. Iâm sure he was apathetic. It doesnât make sense to be alive, it doesnât have the role you were asked for. Then⊠I guess itâs no different than being dead.â
I didnât want to die. I donât want to die pointless. I couldnât stay dead, even though there was an ideal that was going to be within reach.
I didnât want to kill my heart, I turned away from what I tried to break my heart, turned away, and just stuck it in my shell. Only until it becomes a mask that sticks to itself.
â⊠what did I tell you about it? Was it unpleasant?â
â⊠itâs certainly a story that afflicts both understanding and empathy. ButâŠâ
âŠâŠ
âI think I should have understood sooner that you were suffering than I was suffering right now.â
I turned my eyes round to Langâs reply. I canât believe he said that.
âIt would be now. But now you think so. Still, I canât change the past. My fundamental, this idea is unwavering, too. ⊠I still have no doubt about magicâ
â⊠yeahâ
âBut to speak of that question⊠I, too, am still poorly understood. In that sense, we thank you for establishing the Ministry of the Spirit.â
â⊠I canât believe Lang thanked me. I couldnât think about it.â
âThatâs not why I accepted all the ideas of magicâ
Lang looks at me, but I canât feel the enemies I had before in those eyes.
I just donât know how to deal with it, like Iâm lost. I feel such a quiet rejection.
âDonât accept it, I think itâs goodâ
âŠâŠ
âI also have that idea. Yes, I hope you admit it. Thatâs all I need. Neither do I see magic as absolute. Because people are wrong creatures.â
âWrong, is itâŠâ

âYeah. No matter how hard you try, think, and desperately give an answer, you might go in the wrong direction. The world may not accept it. I really donât think thatâs possible.â
I keep giving Lang one hand to ask him to shake his hand.
Lang opens his eyes to gnaw and stares alternately at my hand and face.
âAt that time, I wish someone would stop me, forgive me for my mistakes, and correct me. Thatâs why I want everyone to smile. People can share. I want it to be happier than unhappiness. To Lang, of course.â
People may be able to live alone. But it will be richer for both of us to live alone than to live alone.
Even if we canât understand each other, we can live in the same world. Even if we just donât get involved with each other, I want the world to look happy in each one of us.
Even if thatâs an unfulfilled picture. I donât want to think it was a mistake until I had that wish.
â⊠that was an interesting story. Now, if youâll excuse me for this. Her Highness Sister Wang.â
Lang looked at my hand jiggly but turned his back without taking my hand.
I knew it was rejected. Distance opens with him completely turned his back. As it shows that this is the distance between him and me right now.
I was dropping off Langâs back leaving like that. Until I canât see that back, just all the time.
âYouâre round, too, Langâ
â⊠Miguel? Peeping is a bad hobby.â
It was Miguel who showed himself beside Lang at a distance out of Anisphereâs sight. I have a smile that I donât know what Iâm thinking the same way.
To Miguelâs appearance like that, Lang puts his shoulders up and down in a daze and exhales and shows them. Miguel asks to slap him lightly, grinning deeper at how Lang looks like that.
âHowâd it go? Why donât you talk to your current Royal Highness King Anisphere?
âHi, nothingâŠ. a difficult person to empathize with and understand. Line up your valves like a wise man as you speak your dreams like a child. ⊠so much so that I think Iâm poisoned that Iâm finding profit there.â
âItâs poisoned, hey. Isnât that the proof you walked away from?
â⊠nowâ
âI donât know if thereâs anything better now. If you want to start over.â
âItâs easy for me to sayâŠâ
âItâs another HR!
Lang waves so depressingly that he can pay off Miguel. Miguel avoids it by taking a distance.
Chip, and Langâs tongue hits zero. I snort all the same about saying Iâm an abominable man.
âIâm sorryâŠ. but I mean it? Youâre still young. Youâre not the same parent whoâs gonna make a big deal out of it with no more, are you?
â⊠itâs none of your businessâ
âNot directly. Just because Iâm Her Majestyâs loyal servant? Thought Iâd behave like a loyalist?
â⊠Still donât like magic. I just think that dulls my faith in the Spirit. If you say, for example, that even if the Spirit has no will, it reflects his own heart. Canât say that no one thinks itâs better to just use it by spreading magic?
âIf magic becomes just technology, nobilityâs absoluteness will be lost, eh?
â⊠yesâ
âRight. If magic, which can also be used by the civilian population, would be inevitable. A man withâ good thoughts of men âlike His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere would be good. But His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere is not eternal.â
Anisphere has also defended its dangers because it has shown the most convenience in magic. And you look like Miguel, even as youâre afraid.
That is why drama drugs and anispheres are recognised by everyone. Thatâs all there is to it. Even Uphilia, who is so close to Anisphere, has a verse that is cautious when it comes to its dangers.
Thatâs why now Anisphere is also a step from magic, a distance away. Rapid developments create distortions. Now is the time to incorporate the revolutionary ideas generated by Anisphere.
For those who are inclined to the magic of the Anisphere, and for those who should be alarmed.
â⊠History tells, orâ
âRight. Manage past tragedies and mistakes not to be repeated in the future. Thatâs one of your jobs, isnât it? Lang.â
â⊠Hmm. I always thought I didnât like it.â
I donât even want to be liked.
Lang only tongues Miguel laughing at Kerakera again and goes down the road to the Spirit Ministry.
Miguel loosens his mouth as he drops off his back.
âI wonder what will happen to this country from now on. We do not entrust it to the king alone, we do not merely attach it to faith. Thoughts, worries, each one chooses. Is that the beginning of innovation or just the opening of the chaos lid?â
No one knows that yet. It will be the work of future generations to speak of the merits of those who live today.
I just hope itâs fun. And it would be nice if it was easier to work. Miguel thought so, moving in a different direction from Lang.
