“Heyyy, I don’t understand all of it, but I am glad we were able to resolve everything, nice, nice, nice. After all, when it comes to the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》, he is quite a man of character.” (Cry)

“Moh, seriously…… Stop stirring things up every time something happens!” (Lucia)

Lucia, who was walking next to me, let out a deep sigh as if her soul was escaping from it.

I am not trying to stir things up…… I don’t know how it is possible to stir things up by just praising, being modest, or being honest with someone.

“However, I never thought that I would receive something for making such a big mess.” (Cry)

I said sincerely as I swung the ridiculously light staff that Thawne-san gave me.

Wand Relics are particularly expensive among all weapon Relics. And when it comes to wands with an ability to highly amplify your Magic or with a special ability, the price of it will be sky-high. Wand Relics like the bracelet-shaped wand used by Term or Kryhi’s staff are something akin to a dream for a Magi.

It was the precious possession of the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》. Whether I like it or not, expectations are high. Well, no matter what kind of staff it is, I would probably be unable to use it…… All because wand-type Relics are quite selective about their wielder.

If this is a Relic that selects its wielder, it would take an extremely long time to investigate its effects.  This is because the only thing that can be done is to check if there are any legends of similar items in books. I wonder if Martis-san will understand if I ask him……

Lucia grumbled to me while I was twirling the staff in a good mood.

“Every time Leader makes a big mess, I am being teased by my teachers and colleagues, you know? They tell me…… Your brother did it again, huh!” (Lucia)

“Heeeeeh………… Why don’t you punch them?” (Cry)

“…… Please clarify whether you are serious or joking.” (Lucia)

It is not like I did anything…… It is the troubling situation that comes to me. This world is too dangerous anyway. And earlier, Thawne-san said something about a curse or something.

If I don’t have Lucia next to me like this, I can’t even walk outside with peace of mind.

When I clear my throat to change my mind, Lucia stares at me and says.

“So, when are we going to visit “Teacher (Sensei)” together?” (Lucia)

“Eh? …… Why?” (Cry)

“Didn’t I say it earlier in the Clan House! “Teacher (Sensei)” is furious for canceling my examination at the last minute because of the Supreme Martial Arts Festival――”Teacher (Sensei)” told me to bring Nii-san with me.” (Lucia)

Aaah so that was true. Your “Teacher (Sensei)” really can’t judge character.

Unlike Luke, Lucia is serious. Because she is so serious, her “Teacher (Sensei)” doesn’t think well of me for dragging the brilliant Lucia around. Whether it is with Luke or Lucia, either way, the one who complains to me comes from someone with the highest authority.

I even get complaints from the Rodin family, Ark’s parent house, you know! If I gather all the complaints, I would have almost all the big names of the Imperial Capital, I am one of the best complaint collectors in the Imperial Capital. If I could sell those complaints I would be a millionaire.

Squinting my eyes, I tried my best to smile gently and tell Lucia in a gentle voice.

“Lucia…… It would be rude towards them to take me with you.” (Cry)

“………… I am starting to feel like that too. But they said to bring you even if I have to drag you there!” (Lucia)

Lucia quickly grabbed my sleeve with a straight look. She really intends to drag me there.

Weeell, I am her brother, it is because I am her brother. Recently, my dignity has started to disappear, but I still consider myself to be Lucia’s guardian. Although, probably no one thinks so.

If something were to happen, I would fly there as a Level 8 respectable brother, but if it is for a complaint it will be pitiful.

Lucia’s “Teacher (Sensei)” is the head Magi and a professor at the most prestigious Magic Academy in the Imperial Capital. That academy is an institution in which 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 once belonged, and it is a veritable mix of people working on a different path than Magi Hunters who specialize in practical Magic, and they are all working day after day in pursuit of Magic.

Although not as well known as an individual as the one and only 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》, as an organization its scale is incomparable to a mere dojo. When I am in front of her “Teacher (Sensei)”, there is an unpleasant tension that is different from being in front of the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》.
