Chapter 284 Useless Person ③
Part 1
Outside, a large group of Magi was gathering the ashes that had fallen to the ground. I immediately tugged on Sytry’s arm to stop her as she was about to *furafura* wander off in that direction.
Apparently, there are still some parts that were damaged by the magic circle. No, you can’t. Even if you look at me with those upturned eyes, you can’t do what you can’t do.
While walking, I ask Lucia about the situation. Lucia gave me new information with a look as if it was natural that I already knew about it.
“Seriously, I never thought something this big would happen――Nii-san, the Imperial Capital is not your toy box, you know!? They asked me so many questions――” (Lucia)
“W-Well, all end’s well, so isn’t it fine……” (Cry)
“Mooooh!” (Lucia)
After all this time, I could not stop sweating. Apparently, the source of that Black World Tree was the staff that I received from the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》. They said that it became like that because it had absorbed the Magic power of its surroundings despite no one activating it.
In other words, you can say Professor Sage was right.
…… But this isn’t my fault? The one at fault is the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》. Really, that man, I always felt sorry for the troubles Luke caused him, but for him to take revenge this way――He looks like someone decent, but there is more to meet the eye.
Sytry, who should not have understood the situation as much as I do, *pon* hit her hands and nodded with a knowing look.
“I see…… That was why Professor Sage withdrew…… Even if they are the Magic Academy, they would want to avoid conflict with the 《Sword Saint’s (Kensei)》 faction……” (Sytry)
“I see. So you can conquer poison with poison.” (Cry)
“………… Moh! Why are you talking about it like it doesn’t concern you?” (Lucia)
It is too unrealistic. I mean, now I think back on it, the whole process was very strange.
I was planning to stay still and quietly in the Imperial Capital for a while, but when I gave the sword I got from Eliza, it was in fact a Magic Sword? Then the staff that was given to me in exchange was in fact a dangerous creature? And on top of that, for some reason, I now have a dangerous Magic Potion on hand.
“Come to think of it, did something happen that made that tree persistently attack that tower?” (Sytry)
“…… No. That tree was attracted by a strong Magic power, so I checked it out after extinguishing the fire to see if there was something wrong with it, but I didn’t find anything special. There were signs that something had been taken away, but the laboratory of a Magi is full of secrets――But I think it is something considerable as it was hidden even to the people inside.” (Lucia)
“………… I see. Strange things do happen, right Cry-san?” (Sytry)
“Eh!? …………………… Nii-san?” (Lucia)
Sytry says with a big smile. You are trying to imply something, you know. Lucia is not smiling, but she is also trying to imply something by saying that.
I have nothing to say, okay. The only thing I learned today was that Lucia is very popular.
At that moment, the Symphonic Stone began to vibrate again. Stop ringing every time at a bad time.
Does Franz-san know that this uproar is my fault? No, it is not my fault, but rather, the main culprit is the 《Sword Saint (Kensei)》――.
But everything ends up well. There will be no more curse uproar. Even I would never step on a mine I could see! What the hell is a subordination drug!
I let out a small sigh and activate the Symphony Stone. And Franz-san directly yells at me.
『《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》…… I heard what happened.』 (Franz)
“Aaaah. I know, it is about that matter, right? It’s okay, that’s the end of the fuss about curses.” (Cry)
『!? Ha, hey――』 (Franz)
“I am busy, so I will hang up. See you.” (Cry)
I look down at the Symphonic Stone. I waited for a while, but it didn’t vibrate again. It seems like he gave up.
I’m sorry Franz-san. I am a little tired right now………… It’s okay, I will show you that I can prevent any further uproar.
“Sytry, I see that you are in a very good mood……” (Cry)
“Well of course, because now it’s my turn!” (Sytry)
Sytry was in such a good mood that you could tell from the sidelines. She was skipping and *kurukuru* twirling around. I am sorry, but your turn won’t come.
She is my best friend, I owe her money, and I don’t want to put her in a bad mood, but I can’t get away without making sacrifices. Let’s just say I accidentally threw it away.

“I will have you go apologize with me next time!” (Lucia)
“Yeah, I get it. She seems to be taking care of you a lot, so I have to be firm as well as I am your brother. Your big brother!” (Cry)
“………… That’s right.” (Lucia)
After all, it is thanks to my relationship as your brother that saved me. But now, I have to deal with Sytry.
If I don’t handle the next event properly, just doing a dogeza won’t save me. Me trying to do something about it but then forgetting it is the worst pattern possible.
We enter the Clan Master’s office. Hunters are forbidden to enter, but both Lucia and Sytry followed me calmly.
Sytry didn’t say anything, but she was appealing to me with her whole body to give her the Potion as soon as possible. The reason why Lucia followed us with an unsatisfied expression was probably because she felt something due to Sytry’s state.
Today’s Sytry intends to follow me until she gets the Potion. Normally, I would have given in and handed her the Potion, thinking that it would be fine if it is Sytry-chan.
But I will definitely not forget how she clung to me while *gugu* snoring.
