Chapter 178 - Let's Admire Muscles

They had witnessed a bigger event than expected with the prisoner escape that occurred before they reached the university, but Kazane and the others' arrival at the university wasn't delayed very much by it . The coachman soldier understood that Kazane's group was an ordinary third party, and after showing their guild cards to confirm their ident.i.ties, Kazane and the others were released without any particular questioning .

Following Ijika's scent would have been possible with Kazane's nose, but she didn't pursue . Based on the lingering scent, she could infer the opponent was a considerably strong person, and she thought she should refrain from putting herself in danger solely based on her sense of justice .

There was also the affair with the Rainbow Heart and Outer . She felt she had gotten carried away too much recently, so that made her judge even more readily that it would be better for her not to b.u.t.t in . Whether that choice would lead to good or bad fortune might become clear on another occasion, but in any case, they were now at Wells University .

Kazane surveyed the university in front of her . It was small compared to the Archduke's castle, but it was a carefully crafted light brown stone building, and she saw between 20 to 40 people who seemed to be students walking around the building .

◎ Capital City Deer South, Wells University, Entrance

「There are a lot of older people . They aren't professors, right? I thought there would normally be young people . 」

『Well, some of them may be professors or faculty members, but most should be students . 』

Kazane was surveying the university grounds as she and Mefirus talked .

This world; rather, this continent; or perhaps it should be said of this region? Basically, there were a few schools in each city that were equivalent to elementary schools, and Kazane had heard that children from n.o.ble or reasonably wealthy families went there .

And there was no obligation for less well-off children, but they could receive education in the form of Sunday school .

This university was a place to further extend the budding knowledge that had emerged through such education, and as long as an individual had a certain amount of education, enrollment was possible . Attending was considered the ticket to finding a job at a research inst.i.tute or workshop, and since research was also conducted within the university, it was almost like already becoming part of a research inst.i.tute .

Furthermore, in Hyvern it was apparently possible for the less wealthy to attend with the help of subsidies from the country . But unlike the universities that Kazane knew of, there was no such thing as credits, and there no was specified term of study . If someone could find a job while attending school, that was the end, and there was also the path of becoming a researcher, professor, or faculty member .

Mefirus' acquaintance, Maberit Monohoris, was a professor at the university, a well-known court architect, and the foremost researcher of the relatively new type of weapon, the magic bow . And that distinguished person was standing at the entrance to the university .

「You're late!!」

Those were her first words . There was sudden quivering .

(Dark skin and pointed ears . She's a Dark Elf-san, right?)

Furthermore, she was a macho woman with huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s . She looked like a black female bodybuilder . Elves were supposed to be slender, but first Louise, and now Maberit; why did Kazane only meet elves with such good volume?

『Sorry . There was trouble on the way . 』

Mefirus said, and Kazane and Emily also bowed their heads . The troublesome matter was them being witnesses of Ijika's escape . They were certainly released almost immediately, but it still took some time, so they were late for their appointment .

「That's a cliche phrase . Anyway, that's just like you . You've probably always liked to keep young girls waiting . 」

Mefirus grinned after Maberit's words .

『It's good if I can, but now I completely lack the energy . 』

「That's the perfect excuse for you, right?」

Marberit laughed scornfully after Mefirus spoke .

(Being able to talk to Gramps like that while knowing his true ident.i.ty is incredible . )

Kazane thought while watching the two people's exchange . He was a former king . And that behavior probably wasn't because of the former added to that t.i.tle . Their relations.h.i.+p had probably been like that for a long time .

Also, possibly because the two had already met since their arrival at Deer South, Maberit didn't add any retorts about Mefirus becoming a summoned beast .

「Master . A situation occurring that made us late is true . A criminal being transferred escaped on the way, and we came across the scene . 」

Emily spoke from the side, and Maberit was very intrigued and asked .

「Ho . Then, did you catch the criminal?」

「No . They had already escaped by the time we arrived . 」

Emily seemed apologetic as she answered her master's question .

「I see . 」

Maberit looked at Emily, Kazane, and then Mefirus as if she was appraising them .

「Well, that's fine . It's been a long time since I've seen you . I'll have you tell me your travel stories later . Especially about that extremely splendid bow . 」

Emily could only give a short groan as her throat tightened . A cold sweat had appeared after her master's words, since she was self-aware that her skills didn't match her equipment . Then with Maberit's guidance, Kazane and the others entered Wells University .

◎ Capital City Deer South, Wells University, Fifth Experiment Lot

「I already heard about you entering the White Party from Mefirus, but the Blue Rifon Fort recapture? You did well to come back alive . 」

Maberit said while checking out the Dragon Wing Bow . Emily understood from Maberit's atmosphere that she wasn't being praised and could only nod . It seemed Emily wasn't a match for Maberit at all .

「This Dragon Wing Bow isn't artisan work, but it's st.u.r.dily built . The craftsmans.h.i.+p is quite good . 」

So saying, she took out an arrow and nocked it, then shot with a whoosh . It pierced the stone Kazane had previously prepared with Golem Maker, which was immediately pulverized .

「Ohーー」

Kazane exclaimed in admiration . It was a needless thing, but she was clinging to Maberit's waist, and that dreadful power above her hadn't used Magic Power or Dragon Spirit .

「This uses the same principle as the spear technique『Shake』 . If you had been able to use this, you could have damaged the Stone Minotaurs . 」

「Uu, I'm sorry . 」

The disciple hung her head . Maberit only looked at her with disappointment, but then she looked at the person clinging to her own waist and sighed .

「So then, Kazane . You still won't separate?」

「I like . I like touching . 」

Kazane's character had collapsed . She sloppily laughed dehehehe while clinging to Maberit's waist and rubbing against her like a cat . There were muscles next to her . She was completely in Dere mode .

「Besides, blueprint alsoーhave to explainーit's better to be close, right?」

Kazane was gazing at the blueprint for the『building in front of their eyes』 .

The Wells University Fifth Experiment Lot was a wide outdoor area for spell experimenting purposes at the corner of the premises, and Kazane had erected a Cottage there . Maberit had been advising, or more like lecturing, her disciple just now, but she had also been struck dumb by Kazane's Cottage, which had been built in less than a minute .

That Cottage gave the impression of a palace as previously suggested by Yuuko-nee, with Childstone power, Water Orb water source, Indestructible Crystal Lamps, and windows built with Crystallization installed; it was like a culmination of Kazane's techniques .

Maberit's court architect pupils were currently checking the contents of the building with blueprints in hand, but the repeating commentary from her pupils since some time ago had been「Incredible, incredible . 」It seemed the evaluation of the『water flies out to clean the b.u.t.tocks』toilet was particularly high . Kazane was especially satisfied with its workmans.h.i.+p .

Maberit had also examined the real thing some time ago and had briefly checked the blueprint, and although there were certainly many inadequate places as seen by a court architect, beyond that was the sensation of dizziness born from the shock caused by the high standard of the living environment .

(Pipes prepared to circulate water in the building like blood vessels? With magic to create hot and cold water and regulate the indoor temperature . It's uselessly luxurious . )

Maberit was able to mostly read through the contents from the blueprint, but she both admired the luxury that even royalty didn't have access to and shocked by its inclusion .

Although as a matter of fact, everything using water was added after they left the fort . Kazane had spent the last two days remodeling everything with the Water Orb in mind .  

(But preparing this to only be used during camping times . . . . . . that's so stupid I can't come up with the right words . )

Maberit had a headache . It greatly relied on the abilities of the items on hand, which made it a one-off specification, but she felt wonder at the structure built in pursuit of easy living . But the producer was the idiot girl clinging to Maberit . What in the world was this gap?

「Ka, Kazane . Will you separate soon?」

Emily was worried that her master's scolding was soon going to be unleashed and spoke to Kazane .

「But I used up all of my Magic Power, so I have to concentrate on recovery . 」

「Does this help with recovery?」

「It does . 」

Kazane vigorously nodded after Maberit's astonished voice . It seemed it did .
