Magi’s Grandson

Visiting the Workshop

The appearance of a devil was why I needed to go there.

That incident caused a major event that shook the Kingdoms upper management. Even so, it was just recently that a devil appeared and was subjugated. Right now, the upper management was worried that publicizing the appearance of a new devil would cause utter chaos.

Even after the search party was mobilized, they werent able to find Schtrom in the end, despite the Security Office and the Military Affairs having gone full force.

As a result, they judged that Schtrom had already left the Kingdom, and the announcement was temporarily put off.

Because this announcement was not made public, the problem was considered resolved for a short period of time. However, it was not determined how long they could withheld this information before its publicly announced. There were many dangers a.s.sociated with the unknown.

And as for the House of Ritzburg, since Schtrom had confessed that he had used Cart as a guinea pig, they were not charged of any crimes, and were treated as victims instead. However, because it was the truth that his son did cause an uproar, the head of the Ritzburg house had decided to resign from his post as the Vice Minister of the Finance Bureau.

Since the real reason could not be published, they announced that because of the death of his son, his wife was suffering from anxiety disorder, and they would be returning to their territory in order to recover.

Although some people, who didnt know the real circ.u.mstances, condemned him for being irresponsible, the upper management who knew the real reason were sympathetic. Fortunately, the House of Ritzburg still had two remaining sons, and since they were yet of the age as an adult, they were spared from the sufferings.

In the end, Schtrom was the cause of all the uproar, and the Kingdom branded him as a wanted criminal.

Hey, Gus.

What is it?

What do you think Schtroms real purpose is?

Because of the riot that happened in the Security Office, the academy was closed for today.

In the end, we couldnt go to Beans Workshop yesterday. By the time the interview conducted by the Military Affairs had ended, the day had already fallen. And so before we separated yesterday, we decided that we would visit the next day.

However, because of some circ.u.mstances, Tony was unable to make it today. In the end, it was the usual people who ended up heading towards the workshop. And, of course, Gus had naturally arrived at my house early in the morning. Does a Prince really have that much free time?

Who knows? However, what we do know is that he has been experimenting to artificially create devils. Although were not exactly sure, we can consider it might have something to do with that. Its too difficult to narrow it down.

Youre right

Although we dont know what his real purpose is, there are too many factors to consider.

Was he ordered by the Empire to increase the amount of devils? World domination? Or did he wish the destruction of the human race?

Well, since I dont know about it, it cant be helped.

In that case, its fine to leave it to the adults to figure out. After all, we have professional and talented investigators such as Orth.

Yeah, Orth-san was really cool. Wasnt yesterdays event the result of Orth-sans investigation?

Well, hes a particularly special existence. Every year, in terms of arrest rate and criminal investigation, hes always been number one.

Then, we should leave such investigations to adults and behave like students of the academy like we are.

However, as long as were directly involved, its normal for us to worry about the incident. It might even get to the point where we would start our own investigation. It was unlikely for the professional investigators to seek cooperation from a student of the academy even if he was the one who had subdued the devil.

Although we are aware of the situation and were at the scene when it all began, they are not allowed to tell us the current progress of the investigation.

Or rather, when I got home yesterday, grandma got angry at me and said, You got into trouble again! You really need to stop it! Even though it wasnt my fault But if I were to get involved with the investigation, I cannot image how angry shell be. Although I want to find out about Schtroms whereabouts and his purpose, I wont do something so scary!

s.h.i.+n, isnt it about time we get going?

Ah, its already that time?

Once we gathered at Sicilys house, we would head towards Beans Workshop. Since we got together in the morning, were going to go to Olivias house for lunch.

Then, well be going now. I dont need any lunch.

Please have a nice day. [Said by the people in s.h.i.+ns house.]

After waving at the servants, I went through the Gate with Gus and the others. When we arrived at the room prepared in Sicilys house, Thor started talking.

Not matter how I look at it, the servants in s.h.i.+n-donos house are all very talented.

Haaa~ Those people, were gathered through public advertis.e.m.e.nt, and since the number of applicants were way too many, it seems that they had a selection battle. And those who fought through it successfully, were the ones who were selected

I see. So its a dream team of servants.

Dream team, you say

What happened?

Our voices could probably be heard from the other side of the door, and before we stepped outside, Sicily had already knocked on the door.

No, I was just saying that the servants in s.h.i.+n-donos house are amazing

Ah, they certainly are. Before you know it, they will be right by your side and casually follow you.

It seems those servants were selected through a servants battle, a dream team of servants.

So thats why theyre called dream team

A lot of n.o.bles have high praises for our servants. It would be best if I didnt regard it as normal Recently, Ive been getting used to it.

That is a matter of course. The Head Maid in s.h.i.+ns house, Marika, used to be a maid at the Royal Palace, and when I was younger, I was taken care of her. The Butler, Steve, used to be part of Hauge Chamber of Commerce, a man who used to be the right-hand man of Tom Hauge. As for Alex, the gatekeeper, he is the best pupil of Dominic, the Director of Military Affairs. Even though I knew of those guys, I was still really surprised when I saw that they had all gathered in one house.

Eh? Is that how it is? To actually have those amazing people gather at our house one can really see how popular grandpa and grandma are.

And also, the head chef, Correll, used to be the Master chef at a famous restaurant.

Correll-sans cooking is really delicious.

I wonder if youll be alright after eating all of those foods. Today well be going to Olivias house, which is also a famous restaurant. Make sure you dont say anything strange, okay?

Theres no way Ill say anything strange!

Maria suddenly said impolite words to me.

Im really concerned at how everyone really looks at me!

I heard youre going to Beans Workshop and Stone Kiln Pavilion today?

Ah, its a good place.

Its Cecil-san and Irene-san. Probably because its a holiday today, the clothes Im wearing looks a little rough. However, Cecil-san looks as cool as always. And also, Irene-san, she doesnt look like shes given birth to Sicily and her two older sisters and older brother.

Everything in Stone Kiln Pavilion is delicious, but since youre going during lunch time, a sandwich is the best choice. Lightly toasted, and the fragrant of the cheese on top of the fatty tuna the taste is unrivaled.

Sicily, since youre going to Beans Workshop, can you take this order for me? There are a lot of things I want to ask. And as for lunch in Stone Kiln Pavilion, pasta is also good.

Its the sandwich.

It has to be pasta.

Ah, a spark has ignited between the husband and wife! Do something, Sicily!

Well then everyone, lets be off.

Dont tell me, emergency escape!?

O-okay. Sicily, is it okay if we leave them alone?

Its all good. Since theyll reconcile before I know it, and theyll have this really sweet atmosphere.

So thats how it so. Im so jealous. Although they already have four children, theyre still lovey-dovey.

Then, lets get going.

And so, we left Sicilys house and headed towards Beans Workshop. While on the way, Gus started speaking.

For now, even though Father has declared that you will not be used for either political or Military Affairs, s.h.i.+n, Schtrom will still most likely aim for you. And so, when you said you wanted new equipment, I was relieved.

However, I already said I wont have enough money for it.

I made a proposal to Father regarding the funds.

Hey, is that really okay?

s.h.i.+n, although Im most sorry about this, but this time, its not just about the Kingdom anymore. It might even involve the fate of mankind. As of now, the only person who can fight with Schtrom on equal grounds is you. Although theres a possibility that Merlin-dono can as well, that is just a possibility. In case of emergency we might only be able to rely on you.

The fate of mankind

Certainly, it might exactly be like that. I was also thinking of the possibility earlier. Although we dont know Schtroms real purpose, he admitted that Cart was just an experiment. That also means he conducted an experiment that transformed humans into devils.

And that experiment had been a success.

Which means its not strange if theres a sudden increase of devils. In fact, that might actually be his objective. The problem is what hell do afterwards.

Really Theres no end to the trouble he could cause.

Indeed.

The fate of mankind, how annoying

I guess the threat we feel is completely different from what you consider as a threat degozaru

Well, it is a fact that the ma.s.s production of artificial devils isnt much of a threat. Rather than worrying about myself, Im more concerned with Schtrom targeting other people.

Regarding that, weve already taken some precautions.

Are you talking about the wanted poster?

Right, and the reason for it is because of National Treason. But its not like its a false accusation.

Indeed, the ma.s.s production of devils is a threat to the entire world, it certainly isnt false accusation.

In addition, we can easily recognize that guys appearance, he has to wear eye-patches in order to hide his red eyes.

I see, with this, it is unlikely for Schtrom to be active while hes still in the Kingdom.

Although I said that, hes still a devil after all. We cant be careless

Well, he has been fought off just recently, so in the meantime, he might not take any actions. During that time, we should make various preparations.

This is a good chance to level up the research society!

Did you manage to think of something?

Just a moment ago, I got some chills

s.h.i.+n-kun was making a kind of evil-looking face?

This is

I have a bad feeling about this degozaru.

What the h.e.l.l. The world is approaching a crisis, its fine to have everyone level up just a little. However, this is a secret for now.

Hmm? Im not really plotting anything strange?

I guess that means you are plotting something

How did they know!?

N-no way, Im really not plotting anything?
