Since there is still time until the evening banquet,

"Division Head Hütter, if it is all right, could you show me Division Head Hütter’s magic? In the Marie Kingdom there is no great magician whose name is known to other countries. Compared to that, Division Head Hütter’s name is resounding even in the Marie Kingdom. Could you show that skill to me? If I have been shown Division Head Hütter’s magic, I can boast to other nobles."

when the lord’s wife asked, Division Head Hütter again made a happy face,

"Oh, fine. Shall I show it. But, before that my throat is dry. I want to drink alcohol, give me alcohol."

he said. The lord’s wife recognizes that nobles are not that different between the Marie Kingdom and the Mainz Kingdom. Somehow this Division Head Hütter holds the title of marquis, but she thought he might not be of commoner origin. Bought for his magic skill and raised to nobility, but because he was originally a commoner, rough parts are glimpsed here and there, she thinks. Thinking that, there were things that could be convinced everywhere. A noble, there is no way they can say they want to drink alcohol or something.

When the maid brought alcohol, Division Head Hütter who broke into a smile licked his lips while looking at the alcohol poured into the glass. The High Priest made an even more bitter face. Division Head Hütter’s true self was becoming exposed.

—-

Division Head Hütter who gulped down the served alcohol showed a surprised face and immediately grinned,

"Delicious! Give me one more cup!"

He held out the glass and urged for alcohol. The butler made a troubled face and looked at the lord’s wife, but the lord’s wife nodded and signaled to pour the alcohol. The butler reluctantly poured the alcohol to the brim in the glass Division Head Hütter held out.

Division Head Hütter again gulped down the alcohol.

"Delicious! This is the first time I’ve had such delicious alcohol! Because I haven’t drunk for a long time, it seems to permeate the whole body ahahaha!"

Division Head Hütter visibly became in high spirits. In complete contrast to that, the High Priest had a face as if biting a bitter bug. It also seemed as though he had given up.

"Division Head Hütter, now please show the magic!"

When the lord’s wife urged,

"That’s right. The alcohol was too delicious and I almost forgot. Inside the room is narrow, so shall we go out to the garden. Let’s do it in a wide place!"

Division Head Hütter said while laughing kakaka. Thinking that with this one can tell whether being the division head of the Royal Magic Division is truth or a lie, the lord’s wife guided to the inner garden.

Going out to the garden, Division Head Hütter suddenly,

"Fire"

when he chanted, a flame of about 30 cm size was born at the fingertip pointed upward.

"Hoh, this is amazing!"

Voices rose from all who were watching. The ability to show producing a flame of this size so easily. Everyone was surprised. Seeing that, Division Head Hütter was triumphant,

"Next is a water ball. And this time I’ll show producing it while maintaining this flame! ’Water’"

he chanted and produced a water ball. This one was also about 30 cm, but as expected it seemed difficult to keep it floating in the air, and it immediately fell to the ground and broke. Even so it was sufficient to surprise the people watching. The people watching naturally applauded. Among them there were ones who saw the exercise of magic for the first time. Showing the place of using magic as a spectacle like this is first of all not done. Everyone was applauding and cheering Division Head Hütter who showed it one after another in front of their eyes.

Division Head Hütter who received the applause was happy and got carried away, extinguished the flame and put his hands together. Then when he opened his hands, there a dazzling ball of light appeared.

"Uwaaaaa!"

"Amazing——!!"

Including the ones working at the lord’s mansion, the guests attending the evening banquet, everyone raised cheers. Division Head Hütter thereafter happily demonstrated various magics. The lord’s wife had thought that due to the occupation of division head, he was often praised and extolled, but somehow that recognition seemed to have been different.

And he was glancing at the lord’s wife’s chest. The maids were wearing blouses up to the neck, but the lord’s wife as a high-ranking noblewoman was showing her chest largely. The cleavage seemed to bother him and he was looking. Then she thought of providing a woman, but somehow it seemed he was being stopped by the High Priest. Therefore she decided not to prepare unless requested from the other side.

At the evening banquet as well Division Head Hütter drank alcohol well and made a fuss. He talked about magic the whole time, and at the end it became bragging. Even if no one had interest he talked without caring. The lord’s wife as expected was serving as hostess, so she pretended to have interest, but at the end she was dumbfounded looking at Division Head Hütter who got dead drunk.

"I am sorry. I showed an unsightly state. Please keep tonight’s matter confidential."

The High Priest said that, but from now on in the towns and Royal Capital that receive the High Priest and Division Head Hütter, the record of these two’s behavior in this border count territory will be a reference.

Despite it being late at night, the lord’s wife wrote a letter. Toward the lord of the next town, and toward the Royal Capital. And although it was past midnight, she ran a fast horse.

The High Priests early the next morning departed the territorial capital. She had them watched while hidden, but they did not seem particularly in a hurry. Until lodging in the neighboring town can be said to be the border count territory’s charge. The lord of the next town should be overwhelmed with preparations for tonight.

The High Priest’s carriage was advancing the distance to the Royal Capital smoothly. In the Royal Capital they were preparing to receive the High Priest’s party, but the High Priests did not come to the Royal Capital, and for some reason headed for a northern town and lodged. The lord of that town was flustered at the sudden visit of the High Priest’s party, could not provide sufficient hospitality, and there were cases of rudeness. However the High Priest was surprisingly tolerant, and rather showed a low posture enough to apologize for the sudden visit. He continued actions unthinkable for one who holds the position of High Priest of the Sophia Theocracy.

The High Priests’ actions are reported one by one to the Royal Capital. And they are troubling the leadership. Where are they trying to go, why are they avoiding trouble with such a low posture? Normally they move while causing problems constantly with a high-handed attitude not considering people as people. However this time, they are heading straight for the Empire while causing as few problems as possible.

Because they are a party of the Sophia Theocracy, the Marie Kingdom cannot say anything about their actions. They are a party with extraterritoriality. The High Priests’ actions are contacted one by one to the Mainz Kingdom, but there is still no reaction.

And finally, the High Priest’s party reached the border with the Empire. The Marie Kingdom thought of delaying the progress even a little, and proposed to stop movement when the weather seemed to become bad, but for some reason they departed in the rain.

At the last border checkpoint, even against the rude request of the director suspecting Division Head Hütter’s status and demanding a demonstration of magic, he responded cheerfully.

Entry into the Empire is normally investigated from corner to corner of the luggage, but the High Priest’s party was passed just by confirming documents. From the Marie Kingdom side, it was thought that the Empire had understood in advance that the High Priest’s party was coming and accepted them.

The High Priest’s party disappeared into the Empire.
