Renewal
The Board Chairman Office in the afternoon. Placed inside were just a worn-out sofa and a chessboard that’s placed on top of a long table. For the room of the individual with the most authority in Hogner Magic Academy, it has an extremely simple layout. And then, because Lioar, the room owner, is absent, the manic Magician is comfortably enjoying his tea・time in his place.
“I’m going to renew the uniform”
With an ultimately serious look, Asch sips his black tea.
“……what are you saying, I wonder?”
Mira asks indifferently. It was utterly incomprehensible.
“Fuu, as expected of a doll. You’re slow at comprehending”
“……my deepest apologies”
‘I wonder if the issue is because I am a doll’, is the competent butler’s thought.
“Well, your shortcoming is the responsibility of me, your creator. It’s okay”
“……Asch-sama, may I confirm the flow of things up until just now?”
“Of course”
“Asch-sama was appointed the Deputy Board Chairman⇒Board Chairman Lioar might have some kind of scheme⇒Maybe he wanted Asch-sama to do something as the Deputy Board Chairman? is there any mistake thus far”
“Aah. It’s a brilliant summary”
“Well, the idea itself is absurd. And then, I think it is a speculation that is full of loopholes and is completely without evidence, but I, a doll, managed to comprehend it up until this point. I am not unable to comprehend the thought process that arrived at that thinking either”
“Thanks”
The Dark Magician bows displeasedly.
The competent butler continues her question despite thinking, ‘You should just die‘.
“However, I do not really understand the reason you arrived at the idea of『 renew the uniform』from there. No matter how far-fetched your theory is, I do not think you will get there”
“Why?”
“……”
‘No, even if you ask me so genuinely’, Mira, she thinks.
“I was thinking that what Lioar wanted me to do might be to,『renew the uniform』. Well, a uniform reformation huh. In other words”
“……why, do you think the Board Chairman entrusted something like that to Asch-sama by this flow of things?”
‘Like heーll he would, you iーdiot’, are the words that came up until the competent butler’s throat.
“Fuu……I wonder, why you don’t get it. It’s precisely it’s this flow of things. He had no choice but to disappear for some kind of reason. And then, he appointed me the Deputy Board Chairman. Why?『That’s right, I shall take this opportunity to have Asch-sensei do the uniform reformation I couldn’t normally do, he thought”
“I wonder if that is so? Please, think about it carefully. Is that really so?”
‘Who’s that manic Board Chairman? That’s, not Lioar Chairman, it’s you, it’s completely your scummy thinking, iーsn’t it’, Mira, she thinks.
“There’s no mistake”
The pervert Magician who nods confidently.
“……understood. May I confirm it one last time?”
“Suーre”
“The current situation is one where, for the sake of befalling this Hogner Magic Academy, the highest Advisory Body of Narsha Kingdom are sending assassins over again and again. They are waiting for an opportunity and planning for an attack, especially your former protege, Delta-sama, and a strong opponent like the Klose Chivalric Order’s Captain, Raynes-sama, and Board Chairman Lioar is also missing for some kind of reason. The situation is a complete mess. In the middle of all that, you are going to spend all your energy on something such as renewing the Hogner Magic Academy’s uniform?”
“Uh-huh”
“……understood”
‘Aah, I aiーn’t getting through to this guy’, Mira, she gives up.
The doll learned, that what lies beyond disappointment, is even more disappointment.
