The Witch and the Doll Swear

"Where did Miss Tingna learn her negotiation skills?"

"Miss Tessa, don't tease me..."

The viscous chocolate is warm and sweet. After the sugar supplements the consumption of the brain, the refreshing bitterness lingers on the tip of the tongue... No, it is usually the bitterness that is felt first, and then the so-called "return to sweetness", right?

Holding warm chocolate, Tinna, who momentarily confused the dark liquid with coffee, smiled wryly at the teasing of the woman across the desk.

Where can I negotiate?

Just looking at the personnel expenses, research equipment expenses, material purchase expenses, building renovation expenses, and cultural relics maintenance expenses that Tessa arranged... the girl felt her brain buzzing.

How did she know what kind of funds and how much it would cost to study the ancient magic empire documents and decipher the ciphertext?

Tessa just put the price of a pile of paper utensils and other cultural relics on the long corridor where the institute entered the entrance to her eyes, and the girl's eyes were filled with golden numbers.

Not to mention "This is the price of papyrus in the past few years." "Because of the snowstorm in the Pusetine Empire, the production of sheepskins will drop, and the price of parchments will rise." The transaction price of the market." "These few scholars who have studied the history of ancient magic empires are paid for their employment."

The titles of these bills made Tina dizzy.

No matter which one seems to be very reasonable, it makes people feel that if there is no increase in funding, the future work of this institute will be difficult.

If Alice hadn't slipped a note to Liliana before going to the Wizards Association with Liliana, which detailed the absolute amount of various expenses, Tina might really have put Liliana in this room. Funding for research institutes established and maintained as investors has been doubled and tripled...

"No, no, the so-called negotiation is to stick to one's own bottom line and constantly test the other party's bottom line. Ms. Ting Na has done a good job. No matter how hard I talk, I will not waver. It's a pity. In order to increase the amount of funds in one go, I've been faking it for a long time..."

"It turned out to be a forgery?!"

"Not quite, not quite."

"...Miss Tessa, please let us check again..."

"Just kidding, just kidding, speaking of it, where is Miss Tingna going next?"

"Next..."

Tinna, who took out the note written by Alice from the space storage ring, looked at the series of place names that had been marked on it, Tingna let out a long sigh of relief, and hammered her leg.

"Next, it's the last job..."

The City of Thousand Towers, as the base camp of magicians, is not set up by the branch of the Adventurers Association, issuing commissions and accepting tasks... The one that acts as this function here is the Magicians Association itself.

This put Tina in an unprecedented predicament.

As a liaison officer for honorary adventurers, if she doesn't report to the Adventurers Association, she won't be able to get paid, that is to say.

— She is unemployed (temporarily).

Although it's not bad for Miss Liliana to support me in the tower... However, I am already a burden to Liliana and Alice during the trip, at least I can't become a rice bug doing nothing now.

Thanks Alice.

Maybe the doll lady foresaw this kind of thing, so she dragged herself around, not only bought new, expensive clothes for the girl that she might never buy in her life, but also gave herself a new job.

Although these tasks do not match Tingna's major at all, apart from discussing the future budget with the person in charge of the Setilin Ancient Language Research Institute in front of me, they are no different from those of a liaison officer, and I can also do them myself.

There is a lot of salary, the most important thing is to do things for Miss Liliana.

Just like this, I feel extra motivated and work harder. When Alice told herself about this in the morning, if she was not worried about being stared at fiercely, Tingna really wanted to kiss Miss Doll’s toes to express her gratitude .

"Then, I won't keep Miss Tina. If there are new results, I will immediately notify Einstein's seventh seat and Miss Alice. Good luck."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Tingna always feels that this knowledgeable and intellectual woman is always looking behind her...

That deep and sympathetic gaze made her a little uneasy.

"Um, ah...then..."

After finishing the chocolate in the cup, Tingna said goodbye politely.

Finally, the last stop for today is...

Double Corner Street.

It is very close to the headquarters of the Association of Magicians. It is the largest pedestrian street in the City of Thousand Towers. The name comes from the two corners of the street.

On both sides of the street like a stapler, there are many shops of all kinds in the city. Although it is not the end of get off work time, most of the students should be in the college, and there are still many pedestrians on this street. endlessly.

After getting off the carriage, Tina walked to the largest bookstore in the City of Thousand Towers mentioned on the small piece of paper Alice gave her. Looking up at the small pyramid made of glass and columns, the girl was dumbfounded.

It really is a city of magicians, even the bookstore is so exaggerated.

"The Tomb of Osiris... What a strange name, just buy some academic journals and collections here..."

This is the easiest job today.

Thinking this way, Tina walked into the door of the bookstore.

"……forget it."

When Tingna came to the paper collection area under the guidance of the bookstore staff, the girl swallowed her previous thoughts as she looked at books that were definitely thick enough to be used as murder weapons.

The periodicals are much thinner, but compared to the periodicals in Tinna's impression, these are still thick and make one's scalp tingle.

Of course, more than a dozen books cannot be stored in the space storage ring before going to the cash register to check out. Fortunately, the clerk of the bookstore provided the service of using [Feather Fall] magic, which enabled Tingna to stack these thick books into a pile of books that was almost half as high as her own, and walked wobbly with her arms in her arms.

"My guest, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Actually, I think so too, but since I've hugged her..."

"That's right, please be careful—ah."

"Woo?!"

An accident happened.

The "Ivory Tower Essays (The Year of the White Elephant to the Year of the Black Flower)", which is comparable to a dictionary, blocked Tingna's sight. Although the handsome clerk was guiding him, at the corner of the bookshelf, Tingna was still with a Blonde girl banged.

——That's why the gap between the bookshelves is too small, too small, so I can't see it clearly.

The one who exclaimed was the girl who was hit by Tina,

Crackling, books scattered all over the place.

"Wow, yes, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Tina reflexively turned sideways to prevent herself from falling, but the blonde girl who was much shorter than her was not so lucky. She was wearing what seemed to be a college uniform and fell to the ground, reaching out to the pile of books.

At this time, Ting Na had already come in front of her, reaching out to pull her up.

"Eh, um, I was shocked, but it's okay... ah..."

After seeing Tingna, the girl showed some expressions of surprise and envy.

"You are so tall..."

"Eh? Ah... yes, I'm pretty tall among girls, but I'm still not as tall as these books, and I can't see the way clearly."

"No, if I have to say it, I'm also somewhat responsible for not noticing your approach, but..."

The girl stood up holding Tingna's hand, and smiled politely at Tingna. When she saw the books scattered on the ground, her beautiful eyebrows could not help but frowned slightly.

"A lot of books, now, they're all mixed together..."

Although the books are packaged in transparent plastic paper, and are added with the magic of [Feather Fall], they will not be broken or dirty, but the scene of a large pile of books scattered and mixed together will always make people feel involuntary. Instinctively feel a headache.

"I'm really sorry, but I have a list of the books I bought here so you shouldn't worry..."

"Don't worry, my guest, you came out holding the latest issue of "Red Berry Weekly", "The Theory of the Elements" by Marne Sevans, and "Theory of Elements" by Verne Chaus. "On Light and Shadow", as well as "Selection of Simulation Questions for the Great Exam" and "Summary of Classic Question Types of the Ten Years Great Examination" a week ago..."

Just when Tingna was about to take out the note written by Alice to her again and separate her book from the girl's book from the pile of books, the clerk had already neatly arranged the pile of books and handed them to the girl. in front of.

"Do you remember everything just by looking at it?"

After taking the stack of books from the clerk, after examining it for a while, the girl nodded and looked at the young clerk in surprise.

"For a magician, short-term memory is the basic quality."

"Then what's left is mine... this time I'll make two stacks..."

"It's really a lot. There are more than a dozen books. It's really hard work to buy so many books, and they are all thick collections of essays."

"I'm just running errands for my boss. I can't understand these books at all..."

While talking, Ting Na divided the pile of books into two stacks according to the size of the format.

It is not justified to decline the clerk's help on the grounds of not causing trouble, but even so, it is still too high, so two stacks turned into four stacks, and Tingna looked at the young clerk embarrassedly.

"Nina, let's help too."

"Yes, princess."

At this time, another strange voice sounded from behind the girl.

Only then did Tina notice that there was another person behind the girl.

She came out from behind the girl and picked up the two stacks of books without saying a word. Tingna stared blankly at the faces of her and the girl. Her first thought was:

"twin?"

Then, with hindsight.

"Princess?"

His eyes widened because of the name.

"Ah, Naina, didn't I tell you to call me Charlotte outside?"

"A princess is a princess, and besides, they are not twins."

"Is that so...it looks like..."

"Compared to this, continuing to stay in the aisle here will only cause trouble for the guests."

The girl named Naina looked at Tina calmly with those silver-gray eyes, as if she was urging her.

"Ah, thank you so much—"

So, stunned by a title that couldn't be ignored, Tingna also quickly picked up two stacks of books, smiled sheepishly at the innocent blinking clerk, and walked towards the cashier.

...

"So, is Miss Charlotte really Her Royal Highness?!"

After finishing paying at the cashier, Tinna walked out of [The Tomb of Osiris] and stared at Charlotte in surprise, her mouth opened wide.

"It is true that I am the first princess of the Olympian Kingdom... But here, I am just an ordinary candidate."

The girl with beautiful blond hair and silver-gray eyes smiled shyly.

That was indeed an elegant smile worthy of her status as a princess. She didn't do anything, but it seemed that some kind of aura or aura came out of that small body, shining brightly in the sun.

"And Naina is my bodyguard, we are very similar."

"It looks too much, although there is a saying in the world that there will be three faces with the same face..."

But Naina and Charlotte's resemblance goes beyond that.

Except that Naina's hair color is the same silver gray as her pupils and Charlotte's is brilliant golden yellow, the position of the facial features, the curves of the body... It's almost as if God used the exact same mold when creating them.

If they put on the same outfit, and Naina dyed their hair long and blonde, Tina can guarantee that no one will be able to tell them apart.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Tina, Tina von Thea."

"Charlotte Finezan, we're going this way next time. There are not a few days left for the big exam. We have to go back and study hard. Where's Miss Tina?"

Stopping by the side of the street, Her Royal Highness, who looked elegant but not arrogant in every move, looked at Ting Na with a smile.

"I'm going to go to a nearby coffee shop to take a break. I've been running around all morning, and I'm a little tired."

"Well, I really envy Miss Tingna, don't worry about the exam."

"Princess, don't relax."

"I know, Naina too. We agreed to take the exam together. If Naina fails the exam because she likes to sleep in, I'll—"

"Princess?"

"Accompany you to fail the list!"

"That's not okay..."

"Ahaha, then, you have to work hard for the big exam."

"Well, then, goodbye, Miss Tina."

He waved his hand and watched the princess and the guards who met by chance walked towards the side of Shuangjiao Street.

The last thing written on Alice's note was [You should be tired after doing all this, just take a rest at a nearby coffee shop, "Red Berry Weekly" is the only entertainment magazine in the city of a thousand towers, It is a good choice as a means of killing time].

It's hard to imagine that this was written by Alice, who is cold to everyone now.

However, Tingna, who felt a little sore in her feet after running around all morning, was about to do so. While she lamented how strange her fate was, she also walked towards the coffee shop next to the glass pyramid.

"...?"

There seemed to be a sense of sight behind it.

Tina turned her head sharply.

However, no one was seen.

...just an illusion, isn't it?

Ting Na blinked her eyes, turned around with some doubts, and walked into the coffee shop.

Today is the Saturday of the last week of the Moon of Stars and Frost, and there are still seven days before the Moon without stars and moon.

Tingna still doesn't quite understand what the annual exam means to this city, but the scene in front of her at least makes her understand how desperate these people are.

"Well, sorry, are there any vacancies..."

"Yes, this guest, there are still a few more people. If there are single people, there are no more."

Even the bar is now occupied by magic robes. One by one, sound-proof barriers stand beside the table, dividing one independent domain after another. All the talking to oneself, the rustling of quill pen and parchment, and reciting to the book with eyes closed... These voices are all enchanted Isolated, the entire cafe was so quiet that it seemed to be empty.

But Tina finds this very problematic.

Follow the clerk from the first floor to the third floor, it's the same.

In such an environment, she found a seat to sit down, ordered a cup of cheap mocha and a donut, and took out a dozen silver coins from her wallet with a bit of heartache. The stress that the girl said.

It's really heavy...

Tingna let out a painful breath, and took out the "Red Berry Weekly" from the space storage ring.

Although she knew that everyone else was a magician and had placed a sound-proof barrier around her, the girl couldn't help but calm down when she tore open the package. After skimming through the cover, the girl opened the heavy magazine— —

"……Eh?"

Seeing what was in front of her, Ting Na froze for a moment.

Although nothing abnormal can be seen from the side, the pages of the magazine are hollowed out in the middle, and a groove with a smooth cut appears.

Inside was a pamphlet without a title.

What's this?

Magazine giveaway?

Would the magazines of the City of Thousand Towers deliberately hide the gift booklets in this way? At the expense of destroying the contents of the inner pages?

Such stupid thoughts lasted only for a moment. Out of curiosity and a faint, strange feeling, Tina took out the booklet from inside, and opened it.

"The Year of the Black Flowers in the Ivory Tower"

——Top secret information, strictly prohibited dissemination.

"...I seem to have heard this name somewhere?"

It took the girl several minutes to understand what it was.

"Wait a minute, is this—?!"

Then, when she finally realized what the booklet was and wanted to shout it.

"Don't make any noise."

A cold blade and a soft hand pressed against the girl's back.

At the same time, a lazy and helpless voice came from beside her, and then, a pair of dark glasses was put on the girl's face.

"Don't worry, these are just glasses with [Darkness Technique] attached to them. For now, we don't want to be remembered for our faces."

"Wha, what! What are you-- eh?!"

The tip of the knife on his back was slightly pressed against the expensive suit. The position of the tip of the knife was his back.

The petite black-haired girl behind her exudes a definite murderous aura. Although it is nothing compared to the lava dragon beast, the grassland blizzard and the Templar torturer, but——

But even that was not something she could handle.

"It doesn't matter if you yell. The sound can't be transmitted through the soundproof barrier anyway... and everyone is busy reviewing and won't look up, so that's ok, right? We want to ask you some questions. .”

"Ask, what's the question..."

"This "Red Berry Magazine" in your hand..."

The girl, who was almost as tall as herself and covered half of her face with a hood, sat opposite Tina and picked up the magazine that Tina had just opened.

The tone was more like a chat between friends, but Tina couldn't relax at all.

"How did you get it?"

"Of course I bought it."

"That's really strange. This book was supposed to be a public... ahem, it should have been bought by our companions, but as soon as we left the bookstore, we found that it had been swapped, and this book is now in your hands. You can tell Why should I?"

"have no idea!"

"Maya... no, comrade, her heartbeat and breathing are normal, she is not lying."

"Really? In that case, as my friends said, is it just an unfortunate accident..."

"Mm...I'm just saying, it's An...it's Miss Lizard who is too neurotic."

In the blind spot of attention, the voices increased.

It's an unfamiliar voice, but...

"... Even so, she has already seen the goods. Although it is just an unfortunate accident, you must be cautious before the big exam."

"Do you want to use memory-erasing drugs? I don't like that."

"Physical means are also feasible..."

"That's even worse. Didn't I tell you that the person who handed the mixed books to me was the clerk of the bookstore, Ting... this lady is just a passerby who was unfortunately implicated. If we have a good talk, she will definitely understand us. It’s okay to use these methods when you can’t understand your difficulties... right?”

"..."

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Tina's forehead.

While he was silent, the two girls who sat on the seats to his right were talking about very dangerous topics.

No, compared to this...

"……What are you looking at?"

The girl with silver-gray hair suddenly looked here keenly.

It was completely different from what she saw in the bookstore. The sharp dagger-like gaze pierced directly into Tina's eyes.

Unable to meet that gaze, Tina hurriedly looked away - Oh no!

Her heart thumped, and she immediately wanted to move her eyes back to where they were before.

"... When most people hear a sound without being able to see, they will instinctively look at the source of the sound, but just now..."

But, it's too late.

The girl whom she met for the first time not long ago stared at Tina with her silver-grey eyes, and in her cold tone, she questioned the girl word by word.

"You avoided my gaze."

"W-what are you talking about-"

"My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and my breathing suddenly became disordered. I'm lying."

The petite girl sitting on the left, controlling Tina with her hands, spoke again.

The gray-haired girl stared straight into Tina's eyes for an extra long time this time.

"You can see it."

"..."

"Is silence the default?"

"no!"

"Lying."

"Hey wait a minute! Can this guy see even if his eyes are covered by the Darkness Art?!"

The girl who put the glasses on Tina's face stood up in shock and leaned forward.

Tina, who had no idea what was going on, only knew that she was very, very bad now, was startled by the momentum that almost hit her forehead, and instinctively leaned back.

After she finished this reaction, she cursed herself for being an idiot in her heart.

In this way, doesn’t it mean that you can see everything clearly? !

"...I can really see it..."

The brown-haired girl took off the glasses from the girl's face, and then put them on her face.

"There's nothing wrong with the glasses. The [Darkness Technique] is strong enough that people can't see anything in front of their eyes."

Immediately, he handed the glasses to the girls with blond and silver-gray short hair sitting next to him, after they both confirmed that there was indeed nothing wrong with the glasses.

"...Can you please explain it? Miss Tina."

Naina, who no longer needed to pretend, returned to her cold tone.

"Before that, Miss Naina, Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, can you introduce to me... your companions?"

"Although this is a bit impolite, it can't be done, because Ms. Tingna herself overturned my opinion that Ms. Tingna is just an innocent passer-by. Although there is a one-sided relationship, it is of great importance. I can only say... I don't want to hurt Miss Tina, but if Miss Tina is an enemy and wants to obstruct us..."

Charlotte shook her head a little lonely.

However, she still signaled the petite girl with black hair and black pupils to move away from the point of the knife on the girl's back a little bit, and handed over another copy of "Red Berry Weekly" that had already been opened. In front of the girl.

"...No, I didn't know what you guys wanted to do until now. If you didn't show up, I wouldn't be able to figure out why this thing appeared in the magazine, and how to hinder you..."

"It's not a lie."

"Is it, then, it was just a coincidence that he collided with me in the bookstore?"

Nod, nod.

Then the girl with black hair and black eyes nodded.

"But you are not affected by the shadow spell."

"I'm worried whether you believe it, but I... have the blessing of the six elemental spirits... This blessing makes my eyes unaffected by darkness and strong light..."

The eyes that can see the world clearly no matter day or night, and see the way clearly, the blessing of the light spirit Laite and the dark spirit Knight.

Although it sounds powerful, in fact, it only protects Tina's eyes from the influence of strong light and darkness.

"..."

Doubt was written all over the girls' faces.

Tina slumped her shoulders weakly.

"...Look, I knew..."

"But she didn't lie."

"..."

Immediately, these suspicious expressions froze.

It seemed that they still believed in the girl's judgment.

The conversation fell into an awkward silence.

A second layer of sound-proof barrier was set up in the sound-proof barrier, and Charlotte, Naina, and the girl with "this is troublesome" written all over their faces were whispering there.

Although I couldn't hear anything, it was probably talking about my own disposal plan...

After all, I didn't resist at all. I don't know why the question bank that I put in the magazine was also taken back by them. It seems that the only problem now is myself who was accidentally implicated in this matter.

With a long sigh, Tingna, who was more bored than anxious within a few minutes, turned her head and looked at the girl on her left.

"That...why do you guys want to cheat...it's not good."

During this period of time, the waiter came twice and brought everyone the dessert and coffee they ordered, and they didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

"Do you want to make a cliché from me?"

The girl who was licking her coffee like a kitten afraid of being hot raised her head vigilantly.

"...No, I just think..."

Tina raised her head and looked at the black mage's cloak.

Using this strange way to hide the question bank, and after finding out that they were dropped, they chased after them, and they did not hesitate to put a knife against their backs to ask if they were obstructers... Although Tingna is still at a loss as to why they did this , but there's no question that these girls in the uniform of an academy somewhere are trying to cheat.

Whether they want to cheat by themselves, or organize other people, this kind of thing.

"It's just so unfair to these hardworking people..."

"If you're going to get their attention to get out of danger, I'll cut off your tongue before then."

After putting down the coffee, the girl with a grim complexion showed a smile commensurate with her appearance after eating the cookie, but in this smile, her words couldn't make Tina laugh at all.

"Are you going to cheat even though you are a princess...I always feel disillusioned..."

Ting Na had no choice but to change the topic helplessly.

"Don't judge Her Royal Highness and us from the position of knowing nothing, do you only know fairness and fairness?"

Crackling and biting a piece of cookie, the girl raised her head and stared at Tingna with her jet-black pupils.

"The princess knows better than anyone the risk of cheating in this city. Even so, she still decides to do it for the sake of the people of the kingdom. With such a noble spirit, don't you nobles who have rotted from your bones I will understand."

Probably realizing that she had slipped her tongue, the girl stared at Ting Na displeasedly for a long time, then turned her head and ignored her.

"Actually, I'm just a commoner..."

"Civilians who can wear this kind of clothes?"

"... At least that's what I firmly believe."

He was stared at, but this was really not a lie, so the girl showed a puzzled look again.

"...What a strange guy."

Muttering like this.

...still don't understand at all.

There was no way, Ting Na had nothing to do, so she reached out and picked up the magazine in front of her and flipped through it.

But can't see it.

This is also of course, I was involved in such an incident inexplicably, and my future is uncertain. This time in the magician's city, maybe Liliana and Alice will think that it is very safe here and don't pay attention to themselves. If they are really fed took strange medicine or took it somewhere...

The distraught girl quickly flipped through the pages of the magazine, looking at ten lines without even seeing a single punctuation mark.

——Ah, Liliana, Alice, hurry up and save me, if this continues, I don’t know what will happen to me...

"--stop!"

"—It hurts!"

Suddenly, the black-haired girl firmly grabbed Ting Na's hand that turned the pages of the book, but her slender wrist possessed great strength, and Ting Na couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Flip forward, fast, three pages!"

But the girl obviously didn't notice this, she grabbed Tingna's hand emotionally and urged, seeing that Tingna didn't respond, she simply snatched the magazine over by herself, and turned to the three pages before.

"The Winter New Technology Foreign Trade Case of the Year of Black Flowers in the City of Thousand Towers"

Tina only had time to glance at the title of the column on that page before the girl grabbed the magazine and walked over to the three people who had been looking at it because of the commotion here.

The second layer of sound-proof barrier cut off their voices. Tingna only saw the expressions of the girls gradually change from stunned and unbelievable to joy.

The barrier of sound insulation was lifted.

"Miss Tingna, please allow me to express my sincere apologies for my previous rudeness."

Charlotte stood up, facing Tina, and bent her waist deeply.

"Eh? Eh?"

Grinning her teeth, Ting Na, who was pinched red by the black-haired girl's wrist, was stunned by the sudden apology.

what happened? Didn't you just discuss how to deal with yourself? Why did you turn around and apologize to yourself?

"Princess!"

Apparently the princess's companions were also stunned by this behavior, especially Naina, Tina could feel it, her eyes almost spewed a raging fire at herself.

"I'm sorry that I can't compensate for wasting Miss Tina's time and all these rude actions. When you are free, please take this and come to the Olympian Embassy in Wanguo Street, City of Thousand Towers, I will definitely apologize for today's rudeness and satisfy Ms. Tingna, but now, please forgive me for leaving. Everyone, let's go, and win the introduction right faster than anyone else!" But deeply The bowing princess made no explanation. Before Tina could see what she put on the table when she bent down to apologize, Charlotte quickly gave instructions to the other girls.

"Yes, princess."

"Eh? Wait, what is—"

As soon as the words fell, Charlotte and Naina's bodies lit up with silver-gray magic light.

Then came the girl next to Tina.

They are like a gust of swift wind, skimming the bright sunshine that falls on the sky, lightly stepping on the fence of the open-air balcony on the third floor of the cafe, jumping high and high.

As soon as Tina stood up from the chair, they had already disappeared at the end of the blue sky.

Only the still warm coffee on the table proves that they once existed here.

"……what is going on."

I felt as if I was somehow involved in something terrible, and this matter was suddenly resolved when I didn't realize it.

Ting Na, who was completely confused, looked at the several gold coins on the table and a gold card inlaid with rubies, and fell into deep thinking.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Postscript of a certain day:

"Hey, Miss Liliana, Alice, I encountered a very strange thing today."

"...?"

"Ah, all in all...well...probably, that's it, An An doesn't know who they are, are they really princesses..."

"...Recently, several kingdoms have indeed sent excellent magicians to the city of a thousand towers, Olympion's list, and their princess Charlotte Faenzan is indeed on the list."

"Is it really a princess? But, why does the princess want to cheat..."

"...The Kingdom of Olympian has been suffering from floods recently."

"Eh?"

"...It's not floods or heavy rains, but it's very simple. The drinking water in several provinces in the territory is polluted by impurity elements. area of ​​snow."

"Drinking water is urgent."

"Drinking this kind of water for a long time will cause erosion, but the large-scale purification of impurity elements and relatively low cost [Totoros water purification device] because of some technical problems, the ivory tower has not flowed out. The purpose of those girls Is this right? Enter the Ivory Tower and take the opportunity to steal this technology, which is commonly known as a technical spy or thief, but the Ivory Tower exam is notoriously difficult, so I will find a way to obtain the exam question bank. Miss Tingna's report will cause serious problems, so she will not hesitate to use force to control Miss Tingna."

"Eh? But, why did they let me go all of a sudden..."

"...Because the problem has been solved, in the latest "City of Thousand Towers New Approved Technology Foreign Trade Case", the ivory tower listed the completed technology as a salable item, so there is no need to risk cheating and mix into the tower."

"is that so……"

"That's it."

"...Well, I can ask, why does Miss Liliana know? It's as if she saw it with her own eyes..."

"……because of love……"

"...Miss Alice, why did you suddenly cover Miss Liliana's mouth?"

"Nothing at all."
