C106: Plan (2)
âOwner, what are you talking about?â
Violetta, who had been listening in silence, couldnât resist her curiosity and asked.
Instead of giving a direct answer, Rudger called Hansâ name.
âHans.â
âYes, brother.â
âIs it possible to check the structure of the underground storage room that can be watched in real time through this artifact?â
âWhatâs lacking in this drawing?â
âThe detailed structure of internal items is not shown in the drawing. Is it possible?â
âItâs possible.â
Hans pointed his finger to the drawing of the Kunst auction house.
âThereâs only one way to and from the underground vault of Kunst, but itâs only the way for âpeopleâ to go.â
Hans pointed to one side of the drawing, there was a small passage connecting the ground and the underground. However, the size was so small that people couldnât go through it.
Seridan, who noticed what the structure was, said.
âItâs a vent.â
âRight. The cellar has to store valuable items, so it basically has to maintain temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. Thereâs a limit to magic. Thatâs why the air has to circulate periodically, and there are many vents through which it passes.â
âBut how are you going to get there? Are you going to go in yourself?â
âIâm not going there myself. You think Iâm going to rub myself in that narrow hole?â
âYou werenât?â
âNo, I wasnât. I have a friend to go in for me.â
âFriend?â
Seridan looked around. No matter how hard she looked at the members gathered here, there was no one that could go through that narrow hole.
Hans sighed at Seridanâs immature appearance.
At that moment there was a small cry in one corner of the room. There was a small mouse there, facing everyoneâs eyes.
In an instant he crawled up and stood before Hans. As Hans leaned down and reached out his hand, he climbed up and settled on his shoulder.
âThis friend will do it.â
ââ¦â¦Did you just call the mouse your friend? Hans, Iâm sorry. Iâve been bothering you a lot lately, havenât I?â
âIâm sorry, Mr. Hans. You must have been under so much stressâ¦â¦â
âWhy do you look at me like that?â
Hans frowned at Sheridan and Belaruna attitudes.
âItâs not like that, so donât worry about it. You know, my constitution is a little unique.â
âItâs not good, is it?â
ââ¦â¦Anyway! I borrow the beastâs characteristics to increase my strength, but in fact I have a separate way of using my powers and thatâs communicating with these kids.â
âCommunication? With animals?â
Hans thought it would be more convenient to show in person instead of talking, so he carefully placed the mouse on his shoulder on the table. Then he lifted his finger and pointed at his mouse.
âTurn around.â
Then the mouse spun around.
âStop.â
When he told him to stop, he stopped right away.
âLand.â
When his fingers took the shape of a gun and he pretended to shoot, the rat flopped to the side. He was pretending to be dead.
âItâs amazing.â
Pantos, who had been silent until now, exclaimed softly. The fact that there are humans who can communicate with animals made him feel like seeing a different world.
âOh, canât Mr. Pantos talk to animals? Youâre a Suin.â
âBeing a beast doesnât mean you can communicate with animals. It is something that only tribal shamans who have been trained within the tribe and who can properly handle the spirit of Mother Nature.â
Even so, only simple communication was possible. There was no case in his memory where someone gave such detailed instructions and the animal executed them.
In fact, Hans was rather embarrassed when Pantos, the Suin, said so.
âWell, is that so? I just did it.â
In fact, the reason Hans was able to gather information that others did not know was because he had the mice rather than doing it alone.
People think that animals have low-intelligence, but they just donât communicate with humans, and in reality they are quite clever. Above all, the senses of animals were often far superior to those of humans.
âWell, anyway, if you send a few more with this friend, youâll be able to check the inside structure in detail. But how are you going to do that?â
âIâm trying to open up the possibility.â
Rudger stroked his chin and looked at Seridan.
âSeridan.â
âWhat came into your mind when you saw this artifact broadcasting images in real time?â
âWell, itâs definitely an interesting thing? The other crystal balls deliver sound through the wavelength of mana but this shows the surrounding scenery. The person who made this first was pretty clever. But why are you asking?â
âIf the conditions are good enough, can you make something similar?â
âWhat if itâs similar?â
âFor example, applying the same surrounding scenery to this display.â
âDisplay?â
Realizing that there is no such proper noun in this world yet, Rudger immediately added an additional explanation.
âThis is the term used to refer to this thin, wide plate. I thought it would be good if you could make an object that sends a video over here instead of this display, right?â
âOh, my. Display. That sounds pretty good. Anyway, what Nari is saying is that you asked me if I could make an object that sends a video over here instead of this display, right?â
âYes.â
âIt is possible. Because there is actually a thing called a projector. I could make something similar to it but the quality cannot be guaranteed. The lack of time can make it less durable.â
âI donât care. I wonât use it for a long time anyway.â
âBut what if I made this? Looking at this shape, I think the crystal ball and the display are filming the artifacts, so I donât have to make a display?â
âYou donât have to make it.â
âHuh? Why?â
When Sheridan asked with his head tilted, Rudger replied in a tone that it was nothing.
âBecause something has already been made.â
âIs it already made?â¦â¦Ah.â
Sheridan and other members who were listening quietly noticed what Rudger was saying. Why Rudger wanted to check the details of the interior structure of the storage room and why he wanted to create a projector to transmit images to the display.
âAlex.â âUh, yes leader.â
âYou should, um, act in the middle.â
âAct? Like what?â
âIt would be nice to be a child of a noble family from the Southern Kingdom. He doesnât know the world, but has a lot of money and will be going on a spree. Youâll also need an outfit. Violetta.â
âYes, sir.â
âCan you make Alex a garment for the Southern aristocracy? It has to be a very luxurious design.â
âAnything you want is possible.â
âGood. Belaruna.â
âYes, yes. What should I do?â
Rudger threw an ampoule filled with red liquid at Belaruna.
Belaruna took it with her hands in a hurry.
âWhat about this?â
Itâs a drug made by a black wizard. Analyze it.â
âYes, yes!â
âAnd just in caseâ¦â¦It is harmless to the human body but itâll make the skin very itchy if it comes in contact with it. I think it can be widely distributed.â
âA, I think itâs possible.â
âThen you should mass produce it.â
âAll right.â
Rudgerâs eyes turned to Arpa. He seemed to be already excited about what orders Rudger would give him.
âArpa.â
âYes!â
âYou stand by for now.â
âEh. Am I not doing anything?â
âBecause you donât have to do it right now. Until you have to act, stay still.â
âShit.â
âPantos, you too.â
âGot it.â
Unlike Arpa, Pantos immediately nodded his head in agreement at Rudgerâs words.
âOne week left. Until then, letâs do our best.â

Mmm~.
While eating, Rene stared into the air with an unfocused gaze. Erendir, who was watching the scene from the side, called her.
âJunior Rene?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âJunior Rene!â
âWhat? Yes?â
Looking at Rene, who barely came to her senses in surprise, Erendir, who was eating together with her on a mat, stared at Rene with a worried gaze.
âWhatâs going on these days? Does your body hurt anywhere?â
âOh, no, itâs not like that.â¦.â
âCome to think of it, I heard you were caught up in a terrorist attack while working part-time. Did you get hurt badly then?â
âNo, I didnât get hurt. Even then, Mr. Rudgerâ¦â¦.â
âMr. Rudger?â
When the name came out, Erendir reacted with wonder. However, Rene, who actually brought up Rudgerâs name, was once again immersed in her own world. Erendir sighed, grabbed Rene by the shoulder and shook her lightly.
âYeah. Oh! Sorry. I ended up blanking out again.â
âWhat happened to Mr. Rudger?â
âWhat?â
âYou said something about Mr. Rudger earlier. Donât tell me⦠did the teacher touch you?â
As Erendirâs expression gradually turned cold, Rene shook her hands desperately.
âItâs not like that!â
âWhat is it then?â
âHe saved me when I was in dangerâ¦â¦.â
âOh, was that so? Then why are you spacing out so much?â
âItâs just, I suddenly have a strange memory.â
âWhat do you mean, strange memory?â
âI think Iâve met Mr. Rudger beforeâ¦â¦.â
Erendir had a solemn expression at Reneâs words.
âDidnât you feel that way because he saved you in a time of crisis?â
âOh, is that so?â
âI saw it in a recent paper. Was it called the swing bridge effect? Is it possible that you have fallen for teacher, junior Rene?â
âWhat?â
Reneâs face flushed.
âItâs not like that! Donât make fun of me, senior!â
âIâm glad you said no. If you really didâ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦What if?â
âI would have stopped you at all costs.â
âWhat?â
Erendir words were completely unexpected to Rene.
âSenior, do you dislike Mr. Rudger?â
âRather than dislikeâ¦â¦itâs a bit ambiguous. It is true that the new teacher changed the class conditions at will, so I was annoyed at first, but he has proven his ability.â
âBut?â
âI can tell. Mr. Rudger Chelici has a dangerous smell!â
âDangerousâ¦Smell?â
What the hell is that smell?
âHow can I put this? Well, junior knows that Iâm a princess right?â
âYes, I do.â
âIs that so?â
âOh, no! I did! Yes!â
Rene answers hurriedly to Erendir, who asks back, narrowing her eyes.
Come to think of it these days, Erendir has shown such an unexpected appearance that she has been undermining her dignity as an imperial princess, and Rene forgot about it.
âWell, anyway, Iâm a little sensitive about other people. Should I say Iâm sensitive? I have no choice but to meet a lot of people because of my position. Thatâs why my senses have developed in this way. I can roughly know who the dangerous ones are.â
âOh, I see.â
âBut the biggest problem itâsâ¦â¦because of my sisterâs existence.â
âWhat about your sister?â
Erendir has one older sister, one older brother, one younger sister and one younger brother. Basically, the imperial family is fighting or competing with each other for the right to succeed to the throne but surprisingly, the Exilion Empire didnât have such a thing.
This is because there was an undisputed successor that no one could refute. Surprisingly, it was the First Princess, not the Second Prince.
The second prince was capable and had a strong reputation, but even he couldnât stand a chance against the first princess.
The First Princess was so different to the extent that jokes have been made saying that sheâs no longer human.
Even Rene, who was ignorant of this part, had vaguely heard of the First Princess, so it was worth guessing how high her status was.
âWhatâs wrong with the first princess?â
âItâs purely because of my sister that Iâm looking at people and distinguishing whether theyâre dangerous or not.â
âArenât you family?â
As an orphan Rene couldnât relate to the existence of the older sister Erendir spoke of. However, Erendirâs expression showed that she was not very pleased with her sister. No. There was even a subtle fear in her eyes.
âAnyway. I realized one thing when I saw Mr. Rudger.â
âYou realizedâ¦.â
âThat teacher.â
Erendir von Exilion, as the third imperial princess, remembered the moment when Rudger Chelici appeared in the classroom and the dangerous and cool momentum he exuded.
âHeâs similar to my sister.â
