Volume 1 Chapter 23-2 Mean Villainess, Borrowing A Book About Six Magic Knight
I was super excited too.
"And another person is coming today, right, Mister Bruno?"
Rudger said that.
I wonder who this "another person" is.
"Oh, right. Mister Eliseo is coming."
When it comes to Mister Eliseo, he's that handsome, nice-voiced hidden character in this otome game.
...Wait, why is that teacher coming?
"He's the teacher of Attack magic, right?"
As I tilted my head in confusion, Mister Bruno nodded.
"It seems Mister Eliseo wants to talk to Ellie."
I wondered if it had to be today, but if he's coming, there's nothing I can do about it.
That was what I thought until that moment.
"It seems Mister Eliseo has an ancestor who is the Six Magic Knight."
Hurry up and come, Mister Eliseo.
I wonder how far back that ancestor was.
I hope I can hear some interesting stories.
I can't stop my expectations.
I'm honestly sorry for just thinking of him as a person with a nice face and voice.
However, since Mister Eliseo still hadn't arrived, Mister Bruno decided to chat for a bit.
"What stories did Ellie hear from Rudger?"
"I heard that the spell is a lost magic, that the 6th king lived for a very long time, and that the cause of death of the fifth king is unknown."
"That's what got me interested in spell-ology."
That's true.
"I was drawn in because Mr. Rudger's story was good."
I'd like to leave it at that.
If possible.
After hearing my words, Mister Bruno praised Rudger, saying, "Well done, Rudger."
I'm curious about what happened during the reign of the 6th king. I thought there might be something about it in the Six Magic Knight book I borrowed today."
"It's not mentioned in the Six Magic Knight book. However, those of us involved in Spell-ology are also very interested in the 6th king. There's a lot going on from that era."
Even those who have extensively studied Spell-ology seem to have very little information related to the 6th king.
It appears that there's an astonishing lack of surviving literature.
It's at a level where I want to suspect it was intentionally erased.
"Is there something they want to hide? There must be some reason they can't leave behind the literature..."
When I murmured that, Mister Bruno looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"I'm so glad you're thinking about it together with me...!"
He seems to be incredibly happy.
That's good to hear.
As I wore a light smile, I heard a knock on the door.
It seems Mister Eliseo has arrived.
"Excuse me. I'm sorry for being late."
Mister Eliseo bowed his head to Mister Bruno.
"Oh, it's alright. You must be busy too, Mister Eliseo."
Mister Bruno said that while urging Mister Eliseo to sit next to him.
"I'm sorry for interrupting, especially since Mister Bruno wanted to talk to Elena."
"That's not a problem at all. I can also ask about the Six Magic Knights while we're at it. So, please get straight to the point."
I don't know what the two teachers are being so polite about, but I'm not really concerned; if I'm called, I'll happily go along without thinking too deeply.
"May I ask too?"
Rudger is tilting his head, and hearing Rudger's words, Rolus looks like he's questioning whether he should even be here.
"Can you promise me not to tell anyone?"
In response to Mister Eliseo's question, Rudger nods his head vigorously.
Then Rolus quietly turns his gaze outside, as if to pretend he's not here.
Good luck, Rolus.
Your reward is cake.
"My ancestors were Six Magic Knights. They apparently held the title of Ruby."
Then it turns out that Mister Eliseo, who looks like an incarnation of Ruby, has an ancestor who is actually a Ruby.
"The reason why the teacher looks like Ruby is..."
"Appearance has nothing to do with it, it's just a coincidence."
But what a wonderful coincidence.
My excitement is skyrocketing.
I'm excited.
"If I remember correctly, my great-grandmother, and her great-grandmother was a Six Magic Knight, and I heard stories about magic knights from my great-grandmother."
It's kind of complicated, but let's just think about that later.
"It seems that my ancestor Ruby was chosen not for magical power, but for combat ability and magic skills."
Apparently, it was quite a rare type, someone chosen for their combat ability.
So, if that was her great-great-grandmother, it means that Ruby was a woman skilled in combat.
Strong women are great, aren't they?
"So, I'd like you to keep this story to yourself, but they said my ancestor Ruby was skilled in combat because she inherited the memories of her soul."
Inherited the memories of her soul, huh.
...Does that mean past life memories?
My mother should have past life memories, and I do too.
If Ruby has them as well, it shouldn't be that rare to have past life memories.
"Soul memories, you say. Is it really not that uncommon to inherit such soul memories?"
My muttering causes the room to fall silent for a moment.
"As far as I know, I've only heard about that ancestor's story so far."
"This is the first time I've heard of it too."
"Elena, why do you think it isn't uncommon?"
It was quite a misstep.
"No, I was just thinking, if she was skilled in combat because she inherited soul memories, then do the other Six Magic Knights chosen for their combat ability have the same?"
I hesitated on whether to mention that I also have past life memories, but I didn't want Rudger and Rolus to ask about it.
If Rudger is one thing, but if Rolus asks and finds it strange, it would make me a little sad.
"...I see, so that's how it is. I was under the impression that Elena also inherited soul memories."
"Huh?"
How did he know?
"I asked you the other day, right? 'Are you a first-year student for the second time?'"
I think that's what he asked me.
Oh, when I said that I used a powerful healing magic that I only read about in a textbook.
"It's the first time for a first-year student, unfortunately."
When I answered that, the two teachers started laughing.
"You're right, it's not that easy to have someone like Magic Knight nearby."
Mister Bruno said.
"I see, I also overthought things. I'm sorry for listening to such a silly story."
It seems I wasn't found out.
That's good to hear.
"No, it seems I've acted in a confusing way too, so I'm sorry."
From now on, I really need to be careful.
Until I decide that I should talk to the teacher.
After that, the teachers, having discarded their slight doubts about me, taught me in detail about the stories learned in Spell-ology class and the book I borrowed today.
Since Mister Bruno was a very gentle and kind teacher, I secretly resolved to consult him if anything came up.
