Chapter 45.1. Corpses Are So Expensive

-Miu’s POV-

Takano Miu, the most adorable and beautiful girl in the world, was sweating cold sweat. She’s drenched in a cold sweat.

Why? Great magic is too strong. It’s different from ordinary magic. How can you call it all magic and still burn up the dungeon and the outside world? It’s the aftermath of [Prominence].

[Prominence] is an all-magic, and if even one enemy remains, the continuing damage of the flames will follow. Since the queen ants did not die, the flame must have burned through the dungeon’s floor, a space several kilometers wide, during that time.

That’s only a fraction of a second before the queen ants die, right? The magic burning it all up in that little time. It’s magic that is no longer dangerous to use. It might be okay to use magic to counteract the ongoing damage, but I don’t intend to use it anymore unless I have a good reason.

There is some single-target magic, but I’d hesitate to use it. I’m not sure if it only damages single targets. The effects in the game were so flashy.

The dungeon is gone. It’s a crater, a crater. It’s become a mortar-shaped crater. It was like this place was a warehouse. Was it my fault?

I had promised to play with Yamiyo, and I stayed up late and played with Yamiyo who came to my house, trying not to be sleepy. Then, someone from the Teijo family came to call Yamiyo, so I followed along. When I see something that looks like an event, my body moves on its own. It wasn’t because of my curiosity. Nyaa.

I have heard that curiosity kills cats. Ouga is staring at the other old men with some chilly air. Who are these people? And why did they come to this place? I hear that the killer won’t return to the crime scene, but I’m not a killer

Only Queen Antoine’s corpse remains. I’ll leave it as a souvenir trophy for you to do with as you, please. Can I go home now?

Of course not. There is no good reason. Even in the dark of night, they look serious. I mean, everyone is fully equipped. Why? Do they want to fight something?

In the car, we heard the story. It’s a story about a flame dragon that people could see from a place in the slums, heading for the heavens. When I thought I was lucky that queen ant was dead right away. Had it been a little later, the slum would have to get damaged.

So, even though the slum is said to be extraterritorial, I could not ignore it, and some of us went to investigate and found a crater and the ant’s corpse had enormous magical power.

We decided to retrieve it immediately. No matter how dangerous the slum is, if there are 20 magicians, they will not touch it.

So we came in a hurry, but the other nobles had arrived before us.

“Well, well, well. Marquis Teijo. There is no need for you to come out. I will take care of this place. So you can rest assured.”

The middle-aged man in a nervous-looking suit with foxy eyes, who was polite, but gave off an air of non-rebuttal, made a graceful curtsy.

“Idiot. I told you this is my land.”

The old man with fiery red hair, red eyes, and full-body armor that looks like made rubies groaned like a beast and interjected that he was indeed a magician of flames.

I know the old man with red hair. And the child who stands beside him, who looks like he has a bad character. They are from the Duke Aguni. They came to apologize for the stone golem incident. After that, they often sent me apologies, souvenirs from their trips, and gifts at the end of the year. After all, they are very expensive goods. I thought the durian was a form of harassment.

The gift in return has to be just as expensive, you know? It would cut my father’s salary as a government employee. I was eating the most delicious melon I had ever tasted and thinking that the souvenirs from the trip should be at least 500 yen. My father became a viscount and got promoted to section chief, but his allowance only increased by about 50,000 yen. I was amazed. The standards of the rich are truly horrendous.

I wondered who the other guy was, and then I recognized the kid standing next to him and realized who the fox-eyed old man was. This guy is Duke Kanna. The first duke of the Japanese Magic Empire. His hair color is blonde. The old man looks more and more like a fox with blond hair and blond eyes.

That kid is Shin. Kanna Shin. He’s the protagonist of the Night of Magic, the only man with the [Void] attribute. Incidentally, in the game, it is treated as a universal attribute. But I finally met the hero. He has an ordinary face, just like in the anime. In other words, he has a handsome face. His ordinary face means a handsome face, you know. The average face of all the characters is the second face.

He has a serious face, smiling and laughing in a friendly way. He’s intelligent, and his talent is high even without magic. But he’s a man who gets thrown out of the Duke Kanna family, which has multiple attributes, such as not being needed as he did not awaken to mana.

He is only 10 years old now. He’s being carefully raised as a legitimate son because people believe he’ll awaken to mana until he is 12 years old if I’m not wrong. Shin’s very capable. Around his neck are a string and an old ring. I’ve found the second Sacred Artifact. I’ll prepare a fake one.

“Let’s leave this place to us, the security guards.”

“No, this is something the military cannot tolerate.”

“You guys, get out of here. This is my land.”
