Chapter 67 \n<h1>Asked by the princess</h1>\n
After defeating the Demon King, I was in my room, throbbing with excitement.
Across the table, Noir-san is sitting.
Noir-san, with her usual expression, was just looking through the notebook that Kühl-san had brought back from the ruins.
The words written in that notebook can only be deciphered by Noir-san.
The stone monument in the north had only bad words written on it…… Apparently, the stone monument in the south has more words.
In other words, the 《Emperor of Ice》 may wrote down a clue about magic in addition to her swear words.
「Are you sure all of it are swear words?」
There seemed to be 30,000 characters…
「It was worse than the one from northern ruin.」
Well, if anything, the bird seemed to have a worse personality than the turtle.
I just hope that the remaining Demon King has a good personality.
\nWell…… I can't imagine a Demon King with a good personality.
「Thank you for your help.」
Aside from that, I'm grateful to Noir-san, even though I didn't get anything.
I'd like to thank Kühl-san again and report back on the results, but…… she's gone on a training trip.
After I defeated the Demon King, I had the following conversation with Kühl-san.
「Wasn't the Demon King strong this time? Are you hurt?」
「I'm fine. I sneezed and it stopped moving.」
「You beat it with a sneeze!?」
「Is that so, I didn't think there would be this much of a power gap between us, even though we're both apprentices of the heroes……」
So Kühl-san left, saying she would start his training all over again.
I wondered how strong the talented Kühl-san would become if she trained herself to death.
I have no doubt that she will come back with a crazy improvement.
At that time, I would like to fight Kühl-san as a magician, not a martial artist.
To that end, I have to find clues to acquire magical power in the ruins in the west and east!
「Ummm Noir-san, if you don't mind, would you like to accompany me on a travel to the ruins in the west and east?」
\nSince Kühl-san had departed, we would have to reach the stone monument on our own, just like the ruins in the north.
「I'll accompany you. But will it be cold?」
Noir-san announced her participation, but looked a little uneasy.
Maybe the cold of the north has traumatized her.
「It's fine. It's neither cold nor hot in the west and east.」
「I'm relieved. Will you be leaving at the next long weekend?」
「About that, actually Ai-chan said "I'll count it as an attendance, so please defeat the Demon Kings as soon as possible if possible."」
The reason I'm attending this academy is to obtain magical power.
If I go to the ruins, I might be able to get some magic power.
And the stone monument in the ruins is in danger of being destroyed when the Demon King resurrected.
So as for me, I want to go to the ruins even if I have to take a break from the academy…… But there is no point in going to the ruins alone.
Only Noir-san can decipher the stone monument.
「But I didn't want Noir-san to miss the academy for my reasons, so I said no.」
「I'm not bothered about taking a break. I've only been coming here on Lingrant's orders.」
Noir-san's constitution allows her to absorb magic power from those nearby.
Lingrant-san had sent Noir-san to this academy in order for her to obtain universal magical power.
(T/N: Raw: 万能の魔力, Ban'nō no maryoku?)
\n「So, when do you plan to leave?」
Tomorrow and the next day are holidays.
We'll finish our travel preparations during the holidays and go on an adventure with Noir-san at the end of the week.
「If so, I'll have your travel funds ready in no time.」
「I'm the one who should be thanking you. So, which ruins are you going to first?」
「I think I'll go to the western ruins first.」
I said, and Ai-shan clasped her hands together in front of her chest.
「Well. Then you might be able to meet Uncle Maurice」
I hadn't seen my master since the day I fought the 《Emperor of Light》.
I'm sure Philip-san and Colon-san will be there too, and it will be nice to talk to them for the first time in a long time.
「Uncle Maurice is staying in the westernmost town of Murun. I don't know the details, but I hear it has good soil……」
I wonder what is it? Are they plowing a field?
I don't know, but I'm sure they has something in mind.
I'm going to do what I have to do.
So, after Ai-chan gave me the money for the trip, I left the principal's office.
