    224 – Discovery #4


    ng, giiik.


    The sound of the lock being released and the door opening echoed through. As I opened the door and stepped inside, I frowned upon seeing the researchb filled with balloons and dolls.


    Had herb always been a party venue? As I was adjusting to thepletely different atmosphere from what I knew, Professor Bn appeared in front of me in a straw hat and a pure white dress.


    I spoke first.


    “Were you nning to go out?”


    “It, it’s the festival…”


    ‘I see.’It seemed that Professor Bn was also enjoying the festival in her own way. Now that I thought about it, most of the balloons and marumaru dolls decorating theb were event giveaways.


    I was forced to correct my own narrow-mindedness, having assumed that Professor Bn would be locked away in herb, conducting dark, inhumane experiments.


    “So, what brings you to see this Bn on such a bustling festival day?”


    “Nothing too big. I think I might have found another host of Solomon’s great magic.”


    “Indeed-!”


    Professor Bn trembled at my words.


    “You are truly amazing. In the face of such remarkable insight, this Bn Sabrnak can do nothing but tremble and worship.”


    … Wasn’t that a bit too much exaggeration?


    It almost sounded like I was dragging her to work while she was trying to enjoy the festival. Of course, Bn might not see it that way…


    Anyway, I’d be away for a short while.


    So, I decided to briefly inform Bn of the matter.


    “There’s a high probability that Queen Aira has Solomon’s great magic, Ars Nova.”


    “… I see! It all makes sense now. Why Theo, the illustrious descendant of the great Demon King, is obediently listening to the Spider Queen’s words.”


    Nodding, nod.


    Bn continued to exin, nodding her head as if she understood.


    “You were trying to contain the Spider Queen, and at the same time, recover the great magic that she stole, right? I, Bn Sabrnak, is deeply moved by your foresight.”


    Bn seemed to be greatly overestimating me. I only found out that Aira possesed a great magic just now…


    However, exining that would take quite a bit of time and energy, so I decided to brush it off vaguely.


    “Now, it’s fair to say that we’ve located the four great magics. First, you, Bn and Gamigin.”


    Gamigin, the 4th great magic, was created first.


    It assimted with Bn and became my henchman. And I was using it to my liking.


    “Second, the second rank Agares, sealed in the eyes of Saintess Priga.”


    Saintess Priga sealed a powerful demon in her eyes after experiencing some kind of incident. ording to the council’s old mages, it was named Agares.


    “And thirdly, Queen Aira. But I don’t know which one is nesting inside. And the fourth one is the Guide whom I asked Professor Bn to monitor.”


    That was the four.


    The ultimate magics created by Demon King Solomon.


    I was not sure what he intended to do with them, but if I could retrieve them all, I’d be able to wield formidable power and rule the world.


    The problem was, how could I get them out of a person so I would be able to absorb them?


    Bn’s case was easily resolved, but the others were entangled inplex causal rtionships, making it difficult to see any opportunity to absorb them.


    Then Professor Bn chuckled ominously.


    “For now, leave Agares and the Saintess to me, Bn De Sabrnak. And if all goes well, I can even get the Guide.”


    “Really?”


    “This Bn, wa, wasn’t just enjoying the festival. I got some very good information from the errand imps.”


    ‘I see.’


    Bn seemed to be doing quite well on her own.


    “Theo-nim, you can devote yourself to taking vengeance on the Spider Queen and the four families that betrayed Angmar, as you have done so far.”


    “Got it.”


    “Especially, I think it would be good to try this to Queen Aira. When she is asleep, use this….”


    Seuk-.


    Bn presented me with an object and exined how to use it and the effect it had.


    “If used properly, it will help with skin whitening, making blemishes and freckles disappear. Hehe… And it will also soften a woman’s heart.”


    “Sounds good.”


    “It will stir the emotions and bring the deep-seated great magic to the surface. For example, sexual temptation or stimtion. Hehehe-.”


    Sexual temptation or stimtion!?


    If I could bring the magic within Aira to the surface, it was well worth the challenge for me. It was hitting two birds with one stone, as I’d be attacking her anyway.


    If I were alone, I would never have figured out all this.


    It felt reassuring to have apetent subordinate. While I used to be suspicious, Bn was now an indispensable and capable follower of mine.


    Then Bn stuttered.


    “A-and, if it’s not too much to ask….”


    “Ask? Are you asking me for a favor?”


    “I-if this is over, please give me a one year vacation….”


    Vacation? For a year?


    My forehead furrowed. Just as she was doing a good job, she suddenly wanted a year off?


    “Of-of course, you don’t have to grant it. It’s just a small wish….”


    B waved her hands as if she had made a slip of the tongue. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but recall my own request for vacation in front of Aira.


    It was only natural for a subordinate to feel this way when requesting some time off. I think I could understand Aira’s feelings a little better now.


    “Very well, I’ll give you a vacation after this is over. But you’ll need to show good results in return, Professor Bn.”


    “T-thank you!”


    Leaving the bowing Bn behind me, I slipped away into the festival.
