Life in the Magic Tower!-4
I always thought to myself.
Can I stay with Arya like before?
Regression At first, I didn’t care so much. Now that she’s back, she should be by her side with better skills and more confidence than before.
But the more she was, the more she felt a sense of alienation.
Not to Ariaspil, but to me.
Aria stayed the same, but I changed too much.
As 70 years have passed, she herself has changed beyond comparison.
Ariasfeel and I can’t do what we thought of in the past.
In the past, I would have applied for sparring without getting tired of it.
In the past, I would have always proudly called her a rival.
They would have been giggling at the same time as they bumped and rolled and gnashed their teeth.
That’s because I came.
She took it for granted.
But it wasn’t.
The position I was in was about to disappear.
I was too ordinary a human being to keep up with her.
And she was a human, though special.
A human being who can die in any accident.
I was scared.
The past years have scared me.
I was afraid of the 70 years I lived without Aria.
I couldn’t have any more trouble, and I shouldn’t have.
So I cut out the inside.
I only paid attention to the exterior.
Only external stimuli were considered in the mind.
I was used to it.
The sense of becoming a machine that only serves its purpose.
It was natural to live like that.
I was satisfied.
Chris, who is like a teacher and a second parent, is bluffing with both eyes open,
Rios, who had been as good a brother as Dean, and sometimes more than that, spread his opinions and nonsense about Soon-ae.
The patriarch Gladio, who always kindly acknowledged himself as Arya’s friend,

Marken, who trained while snorting at her for wanting to beat Aria Spiel with all her heart,
Silica, who always invited a knight to tea time and had a conversation,
Just seeing them was enough.
But it was different when I saw Arias Feel.
I couldn’t be satisfied.
For some reason, I kept getting greedy.
I wanted to see you smile more,
I just wanted to show a better image.
I’m just supposed to be a good rival and a knight.
I wanted something beyond that.
I thought about it every time.
I can’t do that.
But why?
Just eavesdropping on that now.
I was so dizzy that my head hurt.

“…Are you okay? Father?”
Ain in the shape of a wolf looked at Leonardo and said calmly. Although she was an Ajin who had heard the whole conversation from before, for some reason she couldn’t understand Leo’s confusion.
“It’s nothing…”
“Why are you suddenly using honorifics?”
Leonardo, engulfed in confusion, couldn’t even tell whether the person talking to him was Rios or Ajin.
“Ah…Ah! Nothing. I’m just a little tired.”
“…Really…? Or maybe Orb and Aria went out together…”
“No! What a nice boy Oub is! What does she have to worry about!”
When I made a loud noise, everyone looked at Leo with cold eyes. In fact, Leonardo himself was aware of it.
But even so, Leonardo couldn’t help but tremble.
‘…Because he’s a really nice kid…’
I definitely know about orbs.
She has a blunt and dull side, but O’Brien Risert was a gifted and good man that Leo could recognize.
The Lisert family may have been sluggish in modern times as a prestigious magician family, but at the root they were a family with strong bones.
On top of that, O’Brien was an upright and honest person to the point that even Leonardo would get sick of it.
Even before his return, he persistently wanted to kill himself, but there were no personal feelings.
In fact, Leo himself drove him to a half-hearted state, but when he knew there was no reason to fight, he cooperated without retaliation.
This meant that there were no human flaws.
‘…Let’s talk some more…’
Leonardo injected more and more auras into his ears, in case he misunderstood something.
Beok…Beok…
But the only sound that rang in my ears was the footsteps receding. Soon there was no sound of footsteps at all.
“Leonardo.”
“Evil!!”
The sense in his ears was so heightened that even when his name was called lightly, Leonardo felt his eardrum go numb.
“Why but? I was suddenly surprised.”
“…Eileen… Mr….”
It was Eileen Temperius. Eileen, who had to be sullen because she didn’t call her senior, looked at Leonardo who was surprised and asked.
“…Why are you suddenly surprised?”
“Sorry…Sorry. My thoughts were sold elsewhere for a while…”
“…It deserves it.”
Eileen does not sympathize with anyone. For she had no other feeling so unpleasant and consuming to both sides as sympathy.
But I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for that man.

My parents, who were separated decades ago, became a fetish for a vampire and had to kill them with my own hands.
And for the sake of future danger, you have to intuit the dissection.
Beyond her tragedy, if it had been her own business, it would have been a farce that would have let her go.
‘…Aria is… A date…’
Of course, Leonardo seemed to be distracted by other matters as well, but luckily Eileen hadn’t noticed that yet.
“Rather than that, where is the hero? I thought you were always with me…”
However, Eileen didn’t notice, so she dug into Leo’s heart with more questions.
It was obviously strange that she couldn’t see her, who was so anxious to stick around her normally.
“He went out with O.V. Mr. Physis called me.”
“Physis? Strange. I saw her on the way earlier, but I don’t think she called anyone.”
Leonardo’s expression shook as if he had received an electric shock. Cold sweat runs down her face and her hair stands on end.
“…I must have gone to the bathroom.”
She had to.
“Oh, I guess so.”
Aileen also didn’t feel uncomfortable with those words. In fact, contrary to her feelings, Leo was clearly keeping his facial expressions.
“…Whew…”
Leonardo took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.
Isn’t there something to be dealt with ahead of those problems?
You shouldn’t mess with your work because of your personal feelings.
“…How about taking a little break? Or Rios Reinhardt, you…”
If you intuit an anatomy in this state, you might really lose your mind. Leo’s mind was driven by various problems.
“…No.”
Among them, the person who drives Leo’s spirit the most is,
“…I can do it.”
It was Leonardo himself.

Ariaspil thought as he walked behind the orb.
‘…Mr. Physis sang it?’
Arya could tell with her senses.
“Mr. O’Brien.”
“You can call it an orb.”
“No. Are you okay. I don’t like being called short.”
I didn’t like it very much when I suddenly shortened my name. Of course, it was unpleasant for the other person to call herself Aria.
“So, Mr. O’Brien, why did you lie?”
“…Did you know?”
It was as expected. It was a lie to say Physis called.
“If Mr. Physis wants to call, he just needs to ask the spirit. If you’re going to call that separately like this.”
It was more convenient and efficient among elementals. If the spirits don’t materialize, they’re a useful source of information and dispatches.
“Yes, that’s right. I will refer to it next time I lie.”
“…Ah…Yes…”
Aria sincerely suspected that O’Brien had an illness or disease. His way of speaking was too mechanical and rigid to be considered a personal characteristic.
“Then let me be direct.”
Ob brought up the story he had prepared without stopping. At this distance, even Leonardo would not be able to hear it. The thickness of the bulkhead of that door alone is over 40cm, so the soundproofing effect is obvious.
“Many people are aiming for a discord between Ariaspil and Leonardo.”
“…Yes…Yes?”
Aryaspil looked at the orb in dismay. The explanation was surprising, but I was taken aback by the wizard’s eloquence, which spoke as if it were an assembly manual.
“So please. Please accept this. This ticket is a free ticket that can be used at campus festivals, and includes various restaurants as well as magic experiences…”
Important explanations were cut short, but unnecessary explanations were lengthy and lengthy.
After listening to the details of the ticket for more than a minute, Aria cut off her cumbersome speech with a trembling expression.
“Ah… then thank you… I want to write…”
Soon Ariasviel glared at the orb. She still had no doubts about it.
“Please explain in more detail. A lot of people haven’t been told exactly who they are or why the feud is happening.”
That was a really important section.
It was also necessary to find out who the traitors were who wished for things that were neither reprehensible nor reasonable.
“…Ah, that makes it difficult to identify specific people.”
A large number of people was just an idiomatic expression used to encompass an unspecified number of people who did not know exactly.
“In this situation, information must have been given to the executives of the magic tower as well as the executives of the magic executioners.”
“…I guess so.”
It was also reported in the press that it would probably go down in history as the most humiliating accident for Reinhardt.
There was nothing that the high-ranking officials, including spies and informants, did not know about.
“The problem is that you may have heard information about that body as well.”
“…That’s…”
This meant that Ren’s information might have also reached the executives.
“…There is nothing strange about it even if scandals and accusations flow out of it.”
This kind of gossip is the ultimate delicacy loved by reporters and the public. Also, the more famous and honest the opponent is, the more ripe the delicacy tastes.
From the suspicion that Ren is a demon or a warlock, to rumors that Leo may have a connection with him.
Because the visible picture is more important than the truth.
“…That’s… Too much…”
“It is too much. However, in reality, a war of opinion occurred even in the case of Ain-nim’s defense.”
The difference is that Ain himself had no psychological damage, and Leo was just angry at it, but there was no traumatic factor.
“However, this incident is related to the senior’s childhood problems. The psychological toll will be incomparable to what it was then.”
The lack of parents felt in childhood, and an unexpected reunion and murder.
What will happen if malicious public opinion is added to it?
“…Certainly… That’s… Plus now there’s an injury…”
Furthermore, although it was cured, there were aftereffects of the injury. The body’s stamina may have already reached its limit.
“And if you succeeded in shaking the mind, now I will focus on fomenting a feud with Ariasviel.”
“…Why the discord…”
“To completely cut Reinhardt’s kite… Actually, the time is right now because of the Senate crisis.”
Even those who viewed Leonardo favorably could not be trusted. Extreme people who want to subordinate Leo to the Mage Tower may also take advantage of this opportunity.
In fact, judging from the picture alone, this accident occurred shortly after Reinhardt returned, and the speculation that Reinhardt’s elders experimented on Ren didn’t seem too strange.
Of course, it was proven innocent when the magic executioners and heretic inquisitors came to the Reinhard family.
There have always been those who cover up the truth with slander and slander.
“…So I wanted to give you a ticket. If I give it to you, you will definitely refuse. I thought it would be nice to relieve the fatigue accumulated from this and to deepen the relationship between the two of you.”
“…But there’s no reason Mr. O’Brien would do that to me.”
Rather, it could have been good for O’Brien to further aggravate his relationship with Arya, since it was an opportunity for Leo to become subordinate to the Mage Tower.
“That’s right. This is not for Arya Spiel-nim, but for her senior.”
O’Brien recalls.
The one who changed the system of the magic executioner who was ridiculed as the garbage disposal squad.
“…If things go on like this, senpai might really be ruined.”
A senior who saved his life from his line of sight as if it were natural and showed him the future path of magic.
“And I think the only person who can help with this is my lover, Ariaspil.”
“…Yes?”
With that one word, O’Brien’s evaluation that Arya felt rose vertically.
“…Were you not a lover?”
On the contrary, O’Brien asked.
“…Ah…Does it look like that?!”
Aria was completely lost. Her red-hot cheeks gleamed softly like her marshmallows.
“Yes, it seems that way. First of all…”
[Aria!! Of!!]
At that moment, Rios’ telepathy sounded.
[…The autopsy was over, but suddenly Leonardo collapsed…!!]
At that time, the speed of the two people exceeded the speed of sound.
