The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

20. roo. (One)

Bunny Suin.

Ciela rarely remembered having a good thought about being a prisoner in her entire life.

It would have been nice if it was an ordinary prisoner.

Because she was not a beast-person in animal form, but a beast-person in human form.

Human with rabbit ears.

It looked like he was being discriminated against even by the same prisoner, saying that he was disgusting.

Of course, there was no way it would look good to the human eye.

That’s why I’ve been hiding my whole life.

There have been occasions when it has been useful.

for example.

Instinctively, something like catching the atmosphere.

It was like that even now.

“… … hmm.”

At the Mage’s Tower, Ciella has just returned to Duke Reinhardt’s family.

Originally, he intended to stay there for a few more days and attend to Mage Lucia as Master Cale had requested.

I came back because she said it was okay and told me to go back.

It’s a bit like going back with bare hands.

From the nearby town, even with the latest issue of the newspaper.

Stepping into the mansion like that, she felt a chilly atmosphere for some reason.

Whether it’s a butler or a maid, it’s quiet, no. Should I say that I seem to be sparing my words while looking at someone’s notice?

A cold feeling for some reason.

It was an atmosphere that was not like the usual Duke Reinhardt.

Even when Prince Cale was acting foolishly. There had never been a few times when the whole duke family had been hardened like this.

In the midst of moving to Cale’s room to report the fact that Ciela has returned first.

widely.

Someone grabbed her wrist.

“that… … , Ciella. I wonder if it would be better not to go to Gongja-nim now.”

Fischer, who is Ciela’s fellow maid and one of the few people her age in the mansion.

Ciela tilted her head at her worried tone and asked.

“… … huh? as well as the atmosphere. Did something happen?”

Although the atmosphere of the mansion seems to be quite subdued.

You, the Bocchan’s dedicated handmaid, are you telling me not to go to the Bocchan?

Let’s tilt our heads in doubt about that fact.

Phew… … . Fischer sighed, looked around, and then quietly spoke about what had happened at the mansion.

The reason Cale had to return to the mansion in a hurry.

The former fiancée, the daughter of Countess Leyholton, came to visit the Duke.

After sending her back in a very cheap atmosphere, he noticed Cale, even the atmosphere of the mansion was cheap.

‘If it’s Lady Ray Holton… … .’

There was something I heard from Master Cale.

‘… … I had a reason to break off my current engagement.’

The reason Master Kayle lied about liking Mage Lucia.

… … Because I had to break off my current engagement.

Among the nobles, it was common for political engagements or to be concluded without seeing each other’s faces.

That’s why I understood to some extent that Master Cale was against it and wanted to quit.

… … Looking back, Master Cale’s expression when he said that seemed never bright.

like.

It’s simply a strategic engagement. I feel like I’m not trying to file for a breakup with someone I don’t like.

Ciela nodded in agreement with Fisher’s words and smiled shyly.

“huh. I know you have to be careful. however… … Still, I’m the master’s dedicated maid.”

saying so

Ciela, who held up the newspaper she was holding and showed it to Fisher, added her words.

“what. Delivering newspapers like this to Master Cale is also my job.”

from which day.

It was Master Cale who collected the latest news, regardless of whether it was a newspaper or any other form.

As if trying to infer what will happen later.

I bought it on the way to the mansion, so I’m not sure if it’s reliable.

At least if you bring it, you won’t hate it.

When he said that, Fischer let out a low moan.

“surely… … Looking at what you’re doing these days, it seems like you’ve changed. Be careful though, Ciella. Because you never know when it will change again.”

“Ah, it’s okay.”

It would be a lie if Ciela herself hadn’t been worried about that.

At least in Cale’s appearance she had seen recently, there was no sign of that at all.

What I’ve seen for decades.

The kindness you’ve shown in recent weeks.

Most people will say that it is just smoke. At least Ciela could see that its essence was not a mask or smoke.

“Then let’s go!”

“Wait a minute, are you trying to find out where Prince Cale is?”

“… … Uh, would you like to stay in your room?”

Phew.

Seeing Ciela’s innocence, Fisher sighed and said,

“Since my fiancé went home, he has been training at the training ground except when eating. He’s probably still there, so it’ll be quicker to go there.”

“Aha, thank you!”

After expressing her gratitude, Ciella moved her legs with a gun.

The training ground is located behind the mansion.

It wasn’t too far, so I was able to get there soon.

It wasn’t early in the morning, it was an afternoon when the sun was up in the middle of the sky, so there were quite a few knights in the training ground.

However, they were unable to swing their swords willingly as if they were paying attention to someone.

Could this be an atmosphere issue?

the following article.

If the aristocrat Confucius was swinging his sword in a bloody atmosphere, he wouldn’t even dare to use the same training ground.

Ciela, who approached with that thought, soon realized that it was her own illusion.

Their gaze was clearly on Master Cale.

Those eyes weren’t nervous or paying attention——.

It was purely an admiration that came from awe of swordsmanship.

Ciela, who approached without much thought, stopped and froze when she saw the sword dance.

… … Unlike usual, he restrained his emotions while swinging his sword, so no one seemed to notice.

Recently, whenever he swung his sword, he could tell because it was Ciela who had been by his side.

That his sword had changed something.

It wasn’t that the swordsmanship and the sword path had changed.

It just feels like something more heartbreaking.

It was a subtle change, not much different, but the difference was felt by Ciela.

I could tell because the magical energy around Cale was stronger than it was a few days ago.

I don’t know why, but since the old days, Ciella was sensitive to the flow of magic.

‘If it’s because of the mood… … I have nothing to say.’

Somehow I felt that way.

And it was not difficult to guess why his sword changed.

no. It would be strange in itself to have difficulty guessing.

Because there was only one thing that could change his sword a little bit.

‘… … Ex-fiancé.’

It must be because of that person that the young master is having such a hard time.

A face I’ve never seen before.

For some reason, Ciella’s fists seemed to be clenched tightly.

“… … therefore. Are you the country of the future?”

-okay. I’m sorry about yesterday. I was so excited, I didn’t pay attention to the consumption of mana. But I got the hang of it, so it won’t happen in the future.

The same voice that speaks to me in my head.

that it came from the future.

A voice that should be dismissed as nonsensical bluffing.

But Lucia couldn’t deny that.

to deny it.

A magic circle created by her words was drawn in front of Lucia.

──It is.

Undoubtedly, the magic of the 9th circle, Meteor.

‘If you just put in your magic like this… … It will activate.’

It eats away mana terribly, and even Lucia boasted of a difficult spell that would make her head explode.

Perhaps, compared to the original power, it was clear that it was a somewhat limited meteorite.

… … More important than that is whether or not it is a ‘possibility’.

The circle is a reference point that divides the ranks of wizards.

At the same time, it was like a law that no wizard could break.

It’s easy for a high-circle magician to use low-circle magic.

It is said that it is absolutely impossible for a low circle wizard to use high circle magic.

The long history of magic that has been going on for thousands of years was like that, and the fact that all wizards knew it was like that.

A low circle magician cannot use high circle magic.

… … It had to be.

However, what about the magic circle that has just spread out in front of Lucia?

If you infuse magic power and finish the calculations as written in it, the magic will be activated.

Even though she had partially recovered her circle, she was only able to recover the fourth circle.

No matter how confident you are at the 8th circle level, no. Even if you have more understanding than that.

Being able to use 9 circle magic in a limited way is a completely different story.

It is the essence of a wizard to always question things that are incomprehensible.

Rather, because of that, he was able to quickly perceive in front of an overwhelming level of understanding of magic that could convince him of time travel.

That this unknown human who happened to share a body is the future me.

“note… … . yes, even so then what should i call it Lucia?”

– ‘Lou’ is enough. It was a kind of nickname he used to call me from time to time in the future.

“… … okay. roo. I’d like you to give me a little more detailed explanation. How did you come to my body, and even the reason why I told Ciela that I would stay in the Magic Tower.”

– Mmm. It’s a bit long to explain everything. First of all, I’ll tell you roughly how I came to the past.

At least 9 circles.

No, I even did something theoretically possible that would reverse time, but maybe more.

What is the reason such a wizard came to visit him while reversing the past?

As Lucia was swallowing dry saliva in nervousness, Lu spoke in a serious voice.

– The near future. Humanity faces its end at the hands of ‘catastrophe’. And the first button… … It was the end of the ‘Empire’.

“… … what?”

Kaisha Empire.

A literal millennium empire with a long history.

The largest country of mankind, where each period is called a period of revival and a period of heyday.

Such an empire… … . Furthermore, the human race will perish.

If the Kaisha Empire is destroyed, how strong are the ‘catastrophes’?

If what he was dealing with in the past was a disaster that he couldn’t even recover properly.

It seemed like a story about at least two or three of those disasters waking up and going wild.

… … Following the time shift.

Lu, who is an excellent magician who can draw even such a meteor magic circle, can’t handle it.

Lucia, shocked by the scale that was difficult to even measure, asked.

“Then you came back to prevent the fall of the empire?”

If the fall of the empire is the first step to the end of mankind.

Lucia’s return, of course, was to prevent it.

I thought about it, but I asked the question. The answer from Lu was beyond Lucia’s expectations.

-huh? no? Rather, did you come to overthrow the empire more quickly?

“… … They said that the empire was destroyed and mankind was at an end?”

-ah. I didn’t tell you this. I was the one who destroyed the empire in the first place.

Hey.

Saying so, to Lou who gave a cute choo-im-sae.

Lucia didn’t even know what words to accept.
