The Magician Wants Normality Vol 1 Chapter 6

“I would like for you to come to the castle at once…”

A handsome, light blonde, green eyed guy said to me and Sensei.

This isn’t the time to ignore the mood, but this would normally be the scene where a young lady who wants to achieve a love flag, in her heart, pumps her fist triumphantly into the air.

“I don’t want to ♪~”

If I’m being honest with myself, I would rather just break the flag.

So I said that with a smile ♪

…….It’s too troublesome to go to such places.

We were forced to delay for a few more days due to the surprise attack on Genoa village.

This situation was reported to the castle by one of Sensei’s good friends, because there isn’t a transition portal located near the outlying village.

A letter from the other side came through.

‘We have sent a person to meet with you to check the situation. Until then, hang in there ♪~’ (paraphrased)

It was written like delaying us here was not an inconvenience, but instead a relaxing stay. Certainly, it was cruel for them to force us to be in charge of the village.

…Contradictory with my feelings of not wanting to stay, the villagers were crying. What’s with them saying good luck?

Oh, the explanation for the transition portal.

The transition portal is limited in the amount of people it can let through. The entire portal is protected and maintained by a team of magicians in a special ‘transition team method formation’. Power stones are also very important for transition portals. If there is no power stone, and the ‘transition team method formation suddenly fails and the designation isn’t reached’ then I’d be trouble. If I’m being honest, it is the reason that power stones are very precious.

Of course, the country manages the portal and sends out security so the portal won’t be exploited. But it is not open to the public. The country gives special permission to use the portal, for the most part, to the aristocracy, or to the hired merchants employed by the castle. Still, it is troublesome to do the procedure, so the defense is often very thorough.

Well, this letter that was sent to us has a strange 30 cm square on the other side? It seems to be the simplified version of the transition method (on Sensei’s letter).

This simple letter, ‘I’m sending this transition method for only support’ since there’s a ‘capacity restrictions’, it was only meant to exchange it to one another.

Even though Sensei said this way of exchange was quite expensive, why does the village doctor have a personal letter sent through this troublesome way?

Eh? I don’t really care about it. Yep, absolutely do not.

The love flag is the enemy, I mustn’t show interest carelessly!

That will be the start of it all.

The one that came through was a knight, clothed in white. Oh, someone else is in a blue uniform, is it a novice subordinate?

“Gordon-Sensei, long time no see.”

“Well, you came.”

“Yes, it is the Imperial Highness’s direct order.”

He said with a smile, bowing ever so gracefully.

Wow, including the appearance, this is the ideal knight, ladies!

I would rather have a good-looking face with confidence, picking up the guys, than the cowards I have right now that beg ‘help me!’.

And you, the ladies of this village, I see you blus.h.i.+ng and preparing to capture him!

If the love flag raises somewhere, please send it to these ladies.

“By the way, is this the mage?”

“Um. Mizuki, this is Argento, an acquaintance of mine….and the person in charge.”

I did a slight bow and smiled lightly to him.

What the heck, Mr. Mage.

Were there various reports done on me…..?

And,

….Sensei’s introduction of this guy seems to be suspiciously short.

An aristocrat? Is this a special situation? Should I be wary?

This is no ordinary acquaintance of a village doctor, nor is this knight just an ordinary knight.

“I’m Argento, but please call me Al. Mr. Gordon here has taken care of me during my stage as a newcomer.”

“As a newcomer? Under his care??”

“Mr. Gordon served at the castle and was a famous skilled physician.”

“…Wow.”

Ah, Sensei was a court physician, huh. This is an arranged development, isn’t it!

It is but of course……..

“I’m sorry to trouble you, but I would like for you to come to the castle at once…..”

But, you know what Oniisan*.

“I don’t want to ♪~”

I bid you, there’s no need for my introduction or a reason for me to thank you, so would you get the hint?

Do you think that I would do such a suicidal act like jumping into a den full of flags, all of them waiting to spring by a handsome guy?

So.

“Please don’t be so reluctant!”

“I. Will. Not. Go.”

“Is this service no good?”

“I’m satisfied with the village life, and having peace is the best.”

“Even if a n.o.ble and knight is by your side…even if I am by your side?”

“Please don’t give me such a fake lie, with such a desperate invitation.”

This has become a battle.

Aren’t we smiling to each other? On the surface, we smile as if we were having tea but.

HOHO…hehehehehehe…!

The man was quickly dismissed.

Really, did you finally give up on your goal?

Sensei, me, the knights and the enemies were in the room, but the white knight…shows no sign of stopping anyone.

White knight, your captain, did he selfishly negotiate for you, the knight n.o.bles, to be free from punishment?

Sensei, please don’t turn the other direction with a blind eye and an expression of ‘I give up’.

Knights…why is it that your frightened expressions look the most fitting here?

This is annoying and just a waste of time.

If I mouthed it and they don’t understand, I have to use force, don’t I.

Is it done? Is it done?

If it’s decided, I will use immediate action! Because time is limited!!

“Whatever it is, I refuse….excuse me.”

“….! Wait a moment, Mizuki….”

Sensei, who guess the movement of my magic, tried to stop me, but it was too late.

Because the preparation of the motion was already done.

I can hear Sensei’s voice, but I don’t care ♪~

It is the ability to eliminate what is a failure, Sensei. The ability to destroy the entire black squadrons….!

(And the target, the white knight, for him, an air compression shock wave….)

Targets confirmed, Snap! I snapped my fingers.

‘Gu….’

‘….!?’

‘What…what the…’

The white knight writhed in agony, panting painfully. I was utterly amazed when I saw him clench his abdomen.

Ah, don’t lose consciousness now. It is magic, but aren’t you an elite!

His handsome expression, even became painful which was amusing…..because I caused it.

I don’t have the time to be gentle, so do leave quickly. It’s your just dessert, okay Mr. Knight?

Gordon heaved a deep sigh while looking at the door where Mizuki sashayed out.

There was a totally different reason why Gordon wanted to stop Mizuki.

Immediately, Gordon turned his attention to the knights still crouching.

It indeed was good that they didn’t lose consciousness due to their prestigious statuses, but the damage is still big.

They won’t be able to stand for a while.

On the other hand.

“…This is her ability…..”

Gordon turns his attention to where the mumble was heard.

“This is splendid…The best….!”

Argento, the white knight, looked quite happy; his cheeks flushed slightly.

If not considering what had just happened, Gordon would have a.s.sumed that this was a young man in love.

But knowing the situation, that thought would be the last to come to mind.

To tell you the truth, this young man has a special tendency.

‘Feeling the joy of wanting to fight a person stronger than oneself’ wouldn’t be unusual, but he’s the guy who ‘feels the joy of being harmed while fighting a person stronger than oneself’.

Rather, it’s a guaranteed turnoff.

It was normal for an influential person (= eccentric person) to be born from the royalty and the n.o.bles in a country named Irufena.

Living a long life, in spite of being in a small country, Gordon, by a hairsbreadth, proved to be a genius.

It was for that fact Gordon could do work in the castle and thus knew, but a regular citizen who doesn’t have many acquaintances, wouldn’t have known.

Only achievements were told, so these great men who are eccentric, don’t have the fact that they are weird, widely known.

And the white knight who is an influential guy is no exception, with everyone presuming that he is a normal person just like you.

There were various other weirdos elsewhere….Gordon, with such a distant eye, suddenly came back to reality.

Argento, who seemed to have revived, grasped Gordon’s hand. His sparkling eyes were quite scary.

“Let me have a relations.h.i.+p with her, Gordon-dono*!”

“I think that…that’s a problem for the person herself.”

“Thank you so much! I’ll make an effort from now on.”

It isn’t permitted, is it?!

Gordon ignored the problem, and tried to call Mizuki…. but then stopped.

How possible is it for a lady to defeat Argento, who’s an elite?

Frankly speaking, the answer to defeat Argento is ‘absence’. A woman is easily forgotten in a crowd full of other women. A man will not remember.

And if Argento continues to pursue Mizuki, she still had her magic and time to spare.

And even if she doesn’t have magic, her confidence in her strength would get her through.

At last, an ideal woman (= sacrifice), Argento can now easily give up, can’t he?

…..It would be impossible, he’ll rejoice even when getting rejected.

(I’m sorry. You should’ve been told from the beginning…..)

Gordon apologized to Mizuki quietly. It is quite unfortunate to be liked by such an odd person.

It would be nothing but an annoyance for her even if her admirer was acting decent.

Meanwhile, the knights that were forgotten had fainted due to shock.

Unexpectedly, these were knights who had grown up in respectable homes (= ordinary people).
