4. The others stories (4)

#6 Their story: No.1000s story.

Unlike No.1 and No.17, No.1000 didnt have a place to return to.

Meaning, she had to go back to the life where she couldnt eat every day.Diiscover new stories at

Once she realised that, No.1000 despaired.

Kukuung!

Theres no need to make sound effects with your mouth.

Its bad.

Re, really?

When No.1000 started thinking with a dead serious expression, No.17 was going to ask whether shed be interested in coming back to her house with her, but the one who stopped No.17 was Iris whose face was still sheet-white from shock.

Hey, you. The princess said shed be taking you. She refuses your refusals.

Huh?

The other kids might have their own families, but she told me to bring you back especially. Here.

She brought out a small box specifically ordered from the imperial palace, and when she opened the box there was a fresh, steaming steak inside.

Ca, can I eat it?

Of course.

No.1000 gulped, and the moment when she put a bite-sized steak into her mouth.

!!!!!!!!!!

In that instant, No.1000s face turned bright red, and her eyes opened widely.

Her hands were flailing around in their air as if she didnt know what to do with them.

If you come with us, then this quality of meals will be your everyday

Ill come! Ill come! Ill come!

And that was how No.1000 became the princesss right-hand woman.

#7 Their story: No.17s story.

You did it!

Welcome back.

At the warm gazes my family sent me, my heart felt it should feel warm. How should I put it.

Why does it feel like Im about to break out in goosebumps?

-Give up owner. Owners already, become accustomed to that place.

-No, no! It cant be!

-Owner. Dont deny it. Owner is already, one that this archdevil Surtr has acknowledged, a soul that is eviler and cruller than a devil.

-No! Im a pure

I suddenly shut up. That something, inside me is blocking it. No. it cant be.

But!

-Now, owner. Pure so. What?

-Im still pu krrrgghh it, it cant be. But, but!

What is this, the worlds will? Or is it the remnants of my conscience! Something is blocking from saying what I want to say.

-Urgh I am not pure.

I was dirtied.

I was dirtied!

Only before I went to Howling there was a time where I simply enjoyed learning magic!

This is all the evil organizations fault!

I believed in you. Because among all my daughters you had the most talent to adjust to Howling.

Unni believed in you too. If it was you who lived less like a noble girls life than a boor I mean free-spirited life youd act like a scumb I mean adjust and survive there.

-Owner. I think your family knew owners talents very well.

-No! Tha, thats just unni lying! Shes just jealous that Ive come back after completing a big job!

-Her eyes are way too pure for that.

-It, it cant be lies

But the more I heard my familys compliments the more I heard that they believed that Id adapt well to an evil organization.

Moreover, Mother, the only one who didnt say something along those lines.

Now all you need to do now is get married.

Went and said something like that!

What was the reason I went to Howling in the first place?! It was to get out of an arranged marriage!

But to be married off as soon as I got back!

Mother, I am still lacking in knowledge.

Its alright. Bridal lessons are something I can teach you quickly.

N, not that kind of knowledge, but I want to learn more magic.

Eh? Where?

If, its together with Rein Im not scared

Muh, Milady? Scuse me, Milady? Calm down. Right now Milady is thinking something very radical and very dangerous!

Yep. Its radical. But I did all sorts of things while telling Her Highness Id catch him but I failed. I cant. Im done for.

Ah, shes out. Her eyes are spinning. Am, am I going to die here?

-Crackle.

It was then. That the large crystal ball in the corner of the room began to make noise.

-krrck, krrrckrr, rkrkcrrrrk. Ah, crkckkk, ah, ah ckrkcrrrk ah, ah. Hm. Is it working?

Y, Your Highness?!

In the crystal ball was a beautiful, brightly smiling, silver-haired, red eyed woman that reminded me of Sia.

-Ah, Iris. Vice-captain of my most trusted Third Knight Order.

Ye, yes!

Unlike the princess who was smiling as if she was very pleased, Lady Iris was stiff like shed been affected by a witchs petrification spell that you only heard of in folk tales.

-Yes, Iris. My most trusted Iris. And my trusted Iris went and cut my foot?

Hiiik!

The princess was smiling even more brightly, but that laugh was, yes, the savagery of that smile made me think that was the sort of smile that the king of hell, King Yumra(1) would make when he sentenced sinners to hell.

-Our Iris got the person named Rein that she wanted, but I didnt get my Ast that I waited ten years for? Well, it doesnt matter. Ive failed before when I tried to catch Ast previously.

The princess smiled even more brightly as she looked at the quivering noble lady like a lion staring down a rabbit. But unlike that smile the chill that spread throughout my body only increased.

-So, if its the Iris I know, I thought you would die together with that kid Rein for a peaceful death. Surely thats just my imagination, right?

Shake shake shake shake.

That moment my leash started shaking like it had a vibrating function added to it. Of course, that was the ladys shakes that were being transmitted through the leash in her hand!

N, n No

-Indeed. Thats right. Surely. To think youd die comfortably after losing him. Theres. No. Way. I. Would. Allow. That. Right?

Shakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshake.

My body started to shake along with my collar.

Ah, of course its also because the noble ladys shivers had reached fever pitch, but I started to shake myself! Seriously what, it feels like shed revive us with black magic even if we killed ourselves!

-You guys are mine. It is also my right to allow you to die. You do not have that choice.

Yeyeyeyeyeyes maam!

-Very good. Now since we need to start the meeting. Bring that boy Rein and get over here.

Un, understood!

The place where the noble lady hurriedly dragged me by the leash was a place where hundreds, no, thousands of people were waiting. Since all of their gazes are focused on me it feels uncomfortable as hell.

Im not going to get publicly executed, right?

Th, thats?!

It cant be!

And on the way to the ladys seat, everyones eyes turned to me. More accurately, the thing on my belt

That bat Did you get it from Ast, no Naruan!

Yes, to the bat.

Hm. But it seems like that bat is quite famous. To think even the empires army would know of it.

Indeed I did?

The moment I said that scores of people in my vicinity immediately took a knee, bowed their heads and shouted.

Greetings to the successor of the bat!

And

-Greetings to the successor of the bat!

Aside from the lady and a few others, everyone on the wide plain, thousands of people immediately took a knee and shouted.

Rein? Whats a bat?

To the lady who had a face that couldnt believe what she was seeing, I couldnt reply either.

I thought I knew it well but I now I dont know Instructor, just what the hell did you do with the bat in the empire?

#10 Their story: a certain academys story.

Is this person really coming into our academy?

But the conditions are just as shocking.

At one point, it used to compete for the number 1, 2 position among the empires Four Great Academies, but currently it was the lowest, no there were even calls to remove Yugrasia from the four academies altogether and call it the Three Great Academies instead, that was how low the summoners school Yugrasia had fallen.

And the old man that was that Yugrasias current principal looked over a sheet of paper and nodded.

Well take him in.

Understood.

But the dilemma didnt last long.

That was how bad Yugrasias current situation was, and this persons fame was significant enough to be able to chart a path through these troubled times.

The legendary summoner, Nicerwin. We will put our trust in him.

And thus was the beginning of a new age in Yugrasias history.
