(EP-224.2) #4
224 – Discovery #4
Clang, giiik.
The sound of the lock being released and the door opening echoed through. As I opened the door and stepped inside, I frowned upon seeing the research lab filled with balloons and dolls.
Had her lab always been a party venue? As I was adjusting to the completely different atmosphere from what I knew, Professor Balan appeared in front of me in a straw hat # Nоvеlight # and a pure white dress.
I spoke first.
“Were you planning to go out?”
“It, it’s the festival...”
‘I see.’
It seemed that Professor Balan was also enjoying the festival in her own way. Now that I thought about it, most of the balloons and marumaru dolls decorating the lab were event giveaways.
I was forced to correct my own narrow-mindedness, having assumed that Professor Balan would be locked away in her lab, conducting dark, inhumane experiments.
“So, what brings you to see this Balan on such a bustling festival day?”
“Nothing too big. I think I might have found another host of Solomon’s great magic.”
“Indeed-!”
Professor Balan trembled at my words.
“You are truly amazing. In the face of such remarkable insight, this Balan Sabrnak can do nothing but tremble and worship.”
... Wasn’t that a bit too much exaggeration?
It almost sounded like I was dragging her to work while she was trying to enjoy the festival. Of course, Balan might not see it that way...
Anyway, I’d be away for a short while.
So, I decided to briefly inform Balan of the matter.
“There’s a high probability that Queen Aira has Solomon’s great magic, Ars Nova.”
“... I see! It all makes sense now. Why Theo, the illustrious descendant of the great Demon King, is obediently listening to the Spider Queen’s words.”
Nodding, nod.
Balan continued to explain, nodding her head as if she understood.
“You were trying to contain the Spider Queen, and at the same time, recover the great magic that she stole, right? I, Balan Sabrnak, is deeply moved by your foresight.”
Balan seemed to be greatly overestimating me. I only found out that Aira possesed a great magic just now...
However, explaining that would take quite a bit of time and energy, so I decided to brush it off vaguely.
“Now, it’s fair to say that we’ve located the four great magics. First, you, Balan and Gamigin.”
Gamigin, the 4th great magic, was created first.
It assimilated with Balan and became my henchman. And I was using it to my liking.
“Second, the second rank Agares, sealed in the eyes of Saintess Priga.”
Saintess Priga sealed a powerful demon in her eyes after experiencing some kind of incident. According to the council’s old mages, it was named Agares.
“And thirdly, Queen Aira. But I don’t know which one is nesting inside. And the fourth one is the Guide whom I asked Professor Balan to monitor.”
That was the four.
“Sounds good.” ƒreewebɳovel.com
