Once again the silence and stillness created by Kunon was broken by the ârationalâ representative Lulomet.
I was invited by many women.
I didnât want to embarrass them, so I didnât turn any of them down.
As a gentleman or not, I understood Kunonâs intentions.
There was something I wanted to say, but not now.
At any rate, Kunonâs reply to the women was neither contradictory nor false.
I think I can appreciate that much.
Aside from the issue of dishonesty.
âCrossing factions is not without precedent. I doubt there will be that much resistance on that point.â
Bail from âCompetenceâ, Shiroto from âHarmonyâ, and the others nodded in agreement.
Yes, itâs not uncommon to hear about factions holding hands.
For example, the precious three-star and four-star sorcerers.
Those who possess the attributes of light, dark, and evil, which are rare even in places where many sorcerers gather.
There are times when a rare sorcerer is desperately needed for experimentation, research, and verification.
Thatâs why the factions sometimes will ask for crossoverâŚ
Itâs a bit awkward to say, but itâs a way to share research subjects.
The saint Reyes Centrance, who enrolled in the school this year, will also be asked to take part in the research.
The only problem now is that,
âHowever, it is very rare for a student to request it.â
Kunon Gurion is a two-star water sorcerer.
Itâs no secret that heâs an excellent one.
Even in this strained situation, the representatives of the three factions hold him in such high regard that they have no intention of giving up on him.
But even so.
When I was asked if I really wanted to be allowed to have multiple jobs, I was unsure.
As long as you are involved with each faction, you will have the opportunity to learn about things that each faction wants to keep secret.
There must be many opportunities to come into contact with experiments and research data.
If you are told that you are going to be visiting other places with those things, you may want to say, âWait a minuteâ.
Simply put, it would be like letting in a spy authorized by each faction.
Of course, thatâs a possibility.
I donât know if Kunon is the kind of kid who would spill their secrets.
But a possibility is a possibility.
And this possibility, even if it is only a possibility, is hard to overlook.
The faction is willing to allow it to happen because they want it to happen.
Otherwise, it would be unacceptable.
â Normally.
âKunon, Iâd like to ask you if youâre worthy of being allowed to cross over.â
âWell? Isnât it someone else who appreciates me?â
As soon as he thought that his reply was somewhat curt, Lulomet whispered to Shiroto, âCan you ask me the same question?â
âAre you worthy enough to be allowed to cross factions?â
âI donât know. But Iâll do everything in my power to be exactly what you want me to be.â
This is a blatant temperature difference.
Iâve been with you for a short time now, and itâs a very Kunon style answer.
âIf itâs for the sake of Mistress Shiroto, Iâll even go beyond the four-point barrier forbidden to maidservants.â
Donât go over that.
If you stay up all night for more than three days, your life will be in danger.
âWell, whatever. Iâm sure youâll agree that itâs our domain to talk about.â
Lulomet and Shiroto nodded to Bail, who opened his mouth to interrupt.
Right.
In the end, it is the strength of the sorcerer that counts.
âSo, what do you think? Kunon.
We want you, but we donât want to hang around. We want to have you all to ourselves. But when you ask me if I want you enough to have unnecessary worries and put in unnecessary effort, Iâm not sure Iâm willing to accept that.â
âI donât like it when men say they want me.â
âI donât want a man to want me. Put that aside for now.
Magic is a world of ability. There are sorcerers who succeed at a young age, and there are sorcerers who do not succeed at an old age.
In other words, we want you to show us that youâre good enough even if you have to work two jobs.â
I donât need this level of skill.
If you can do this well, we want you.
They want to measure the boundary between the two.
âI see.â
Kunon nodded, understanding what was being said.
âIn other words, you want to test whether or not Iâm allowed to work with you?â
âThatâs what I meant.â
Kunon was convinced.
He was invited to join, but it was Kunonâs decision to join.
Iâm not going to argue with you that I donât belong because you donât allow me to hang around or give me preferential treatment.
And if they were not allowed to hang out, I would be lying to the women I promised to âbelongâ to.
In other words, they would be humiliated.
The gentlemen Kunon will not allow them to go back on the promises he made to the women.
âBut if a man says he wants itâŚâ
The only thing that bothers me is that I donât have any motivation to do anything if Bail wants me to.
âShiroto, please! He really reacts too differently to men and women!â
He was quickly establishing how to handle Kunon.
âKunon, what happened since then?â
It was almost evening when Leeya returned to the saintâs classroom after practicing and recording the âflightâ experiment.
The âflightâ experiment was almost at its end.
Tomorrow or the day after, the report would be completed to the satisfaction of both Leeya and Kunon.
But thatâs not the point now.
Leeya finds Kunon back in the classroom and asks him what happened to him after lunch.
What happened to Kunon after the angry fairies took him away?
From the outside, it looks like heâs not doing so well.
What actually happened to him?
Leeya was curious about the faction to which Kunon belonged.
He vaguely wished that they were the same faction âRationalityâ.
âOh, wait a minute.â
The herb Shi Shirura will soon be fully grown.
From there, it will be formulated into a magicalâŚâŚ medical product, and I was just discussing this with the saint.
Kunon hurriedly hid the note so that Leeya wouldnât see it, as this was indeed a matter of public record.
âI told you to lock the door.â
âIâm not allowed to be alone with a woman in a locked room. You should be more careful with this kind of thing. Itâs always the woman who gets hurt by such misunderstandings.â
Youâre absolutely right.
Thatâs true, butâŚ
But when Kunon says something decent to a woman, it no longer feels backwards.
âOh, Iâm sorry. Were you in the middle of something?â
âDonât worry about it, I was just checking on future work. So? What was that?â
âI was wondering what happened after lunch.â
âSince then? Nothingâs happened. I just talked to the representatives of the factions.â
Youâre lying.
How could there be nothing after being taken by those angry fairies?
No, I mean, to begin with.
âWhat faction did you end up belonging to, Kunon?â
âItâs â Leeya decided to be âRationalityâ?â
âHuh? Yeah. Maybe.â
While replying, Leeya remembered the dainty Cassis, who was too dazzling for a country girl and had a delicate feeling.
According to Kunon, âThatâs a man.â
I still canât believe it, but I also canât believe that Kunon would lie to me for no reason.
And I donât think heâs going to be wrong.
If youâre a member of the Faction of Rationality, youâre going to be more or less involved with me â Iâm not sure how I feel about Cassis, but Iâm afraid of the city anyway.
âWell, you can ask your older colleagues after you join. Itâs not for me to say.â
âWhatâs that?â
âThatâs it.â
âThatâs it?â
Iâm not sure, but Kunon doesnât seem to want to say.
âIâm sure it has something to do with a woman.â
âYes indeed.â
I completely agree with the saint.
Iâm sure there was something related to women that happened.
The only thing that could make Kunon feel uncomfortable is if it was related to women.
â In fact, it wasnât until the next day that I found out that it was more than just something that happened.
