I Became a Different World Gravity Wizard

9 – Don’t lose it

For a moment I couldn’t believe my ears.

“Are you saying you want to come to our mansion yourself?”

“Still, isn’t there at least one room for me to stay at the marquis family?”

“Of course, there are many rooms for Fenia-sama to stay.”

“Okay then.”

I fell into trouble for a while at her answer as if it was nothing special.

I had never even thought of living with her in her mansion.

‘Let’s calm down for now.’

My head is not working well, probably because many things happened in a short time.

Inhale deeply through your nose, then exhale again.

Every time you exhale, your mind calms down and your head starts spinning a little bit.

As I explained to her, if I leave her mansion, there is a good chance that Kyle will become her next head of the household.

But if Fenia stays together at the mansion, Kyle won’t be able to keep me and Layla in check.

In addition, unlike Allin, who is still growing, Fenia is already a complete character called the Archmage.

No matter what assassin I call in the future, killing me will be close to impossible.

Moreover, if she takes advantage of the fact that she is my teacher, she becomes a good player politically.

After I finished thinking about her, I met her eyes.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Yes. Good idea.”

So once it was decided to stay with Fenia in her mansion while she taught her magic.

When her conversation was over, she thought she would return to her seat, but for some reason she didn’t go back and took her seat at our table.

“Wouldn’t Fenia go back to her place?”

“Why? Are you uncomfortable with me?”

“No.”

“It’s annoying when people who have nothing to do with me keep talking to me when I’m alone. I will stay here until the end.”

“Yes.”

“Hey, and since I am your teacher from now on, call me Master.”

“Yes. Master.”

“Right.”

She smiles as if she likes the word master.

Because of her youthful appearance, there was a big gap between the old man’s laughter.

“Oh, and isn’t the tone too stiff?”

“Should I change my tone?”

“Uh. Just like you talked to me earlier, try it once.”

“Okay, Penia.”

As soon as I let go of her words, she looks at me with her dumbfounded face, as if she didn’t know it would happen at once.

Then, as if she had regained her sanity later, she burst out with a hearty laugh once more.

“Ha ha ha! Are you really crazy too?”

“Sorry.”

“No, I’m in a situation like this right now, and it’s nice to be friendly because I speak plainly.”

She grabbed her stomach and laughed at what was so funny.

She laughed for a while, then wiped the tears from her eyes before turning her head towards Ellis, who was sitting next to her.

“Come to think of it, what did my little lady say her name was?”

“Hey, I’m Alice Neonbar from House Neonbar! Thank you for helping me a little while ago!”

Elise jumped up from her seat at her question and bowed her waist at 90 degrees.

Fenia nodded her head lightly as if it were natural for her to look like that.

Then, looking at her and me alternately, she smiles meaningfully.

“Looks like you got into a fight just a while ago to take this little girl. Are you two close?”

‘What is this old man talking about?’

I spit out the water in her mouth at her sudden question.

Fortunately, no one was hit by the water spray because she quickly turned her head.

“It’s not like that.”

“Really? I thought it was that kind of sign when I saw him using all his mana, even if he didn’t have one. Kuk-kuk.”

“Anyway, it’s not like that, so don’t misunderstand.”

Honestly, if you are the eldest daughter of a popular baron and a beauty like Alice, I would welcome you with both hands.

But if you ask me if she would get along with the rumored personality of an idiot and the person who has just lost weight, I honestly felt sorry for Elise.

I talked to Elise because of the awkward atmosphere.

“Ellis, don’t be still and talk to me.”

Ellis, who had lost her mind for a moment, opened her mouth with her embarrassed face.

“Oh, we’re not like that. Penny. Ha ha ha······.”

Ellis begins to laugh awkwardly.

It seemed that it was not very good to be entangled with me.

Well, the first time I saw him, he didn’t scream at my face.

It never occurred to her that she would develop a crush on me for helping me once or twice.

I just hated Fenia for making this awkward situation.

“Damn it, old woman.”

“Keep it!”

Even though I may be a little rude, Fenia continues to laugh at what’s so funny about it.

Still, after Fenia sat down at her table, the atmosphere went up quite a bit.

Unlike before when everything was awkward because it was my first time, I felt like I was naturally immersed in the prom.

“Thank you to everyone who has participated in the dance from far away. Then I’ll see you at the ball next spring.”

The prom, which seemed like it would never end, came to an end quickly.

Since the three of us had a conversation, we forgot how much time passed.

People who got up from their seats greeted each other and moved to their wagons.

Some others seem to be trying to have a second round with people they have become close with, as if they are uneasy about ending it here.

Of course, there were people who came to say hello to me as well.

“It’s a pity that we broke up already after we met for a month.”

“Time passed faster than I thought.”

“Please visit our mansion next time! My father is only waiting for the day the boy visits the mansion!”

“I have Fenia by my side today, so I will definitely visit you next time. Also, I don’t like being called the young master, so just call me casually.”

“Is that so?”

There is a difference between commoners and aristocrats among maids, so they call me young, but I didn’t feel very happy when I heard that from a girl younger than me, even though they belonged to the same aristocrat.

“Just call me by name.”

“Then… Rail······?”

Carefully calling my name and starting to look at me.

It looked like a puppy that secretly stole snacks.

“Yes. Today was fun thanks to you. Alice. I’ll send you a letter when I visit the mansion.”

“Yes! See you next time Rail and Aline too! Fenia-sama too!”

“See you later, little girl.”

After such a brief conversation, we moved to our respective wagons.

Innumerable carriages were still standing in the garden.

But among so many wagons, finding ours wasn’t too difficult.

“There he is.”

I pointed my hand at the most luxurious and largest of the dozens of wagons.

Yes.

There is a dump truck among the small cars, how can you not spot it?

Upon arriving in front of her wagon, Fenia was also a little impressed by how different the size of her wagon was from what he had expected.

“Is this your wagon?”

I nodded lightly.

And with light steps, Fenia was the first to get on the carriage, followed by Alyn and I.

“At this size, you wouldn’t even kneel in the imperial carriage?”

“Is that enough?”

“I rode an imperial wagon once before, and it was about the same size as this one.”

I had never seen a wagon used by the imperial family.

In the first place, today was the first time seeing a carriage and actually riding it.

Hiiing-

As if all the escorts waiting outside had arrived, the wagon’s wheels started rolling along with the sound of the coachman’s whip.

I looked out through the window.

On the roads where cars are supposed to be, a coachman is pulling a wagon instead of a driver.

Instead of tall buildings with neon signs, low shops with shabby torches come into view.

Clean and refreshing air fills the lungs instead of stuffy air due to fine dust and dust.

In my busy life, the image of my previous life that I had forgotten for a while passed by.

It was only after a month had passed since I entered the novel that I realized that I had come to another world.

My assassination plan, which should have continued as in the original work, has failed.

But I just turned off the lights in a hurry, and I can’t be relieved yet, even if Aline and Fenia are by my side.

Ka is not the only person who has a grudge against me.

They will sharpen their knives even more to kill me, who resents me, and I had to grow stronger to protect my life.

“Haa…”

In the dark days ahead, a sigh escapes without my knowledge.

*

We were only able to arrive at the mansion in the morning.

We woke up and got out of the carriage in the bright sunlight.

“Have you been there? Young master.”

Luna, who discovered the Violand family’s wagon, greeted us.

But today, the number of people who came to greet us is higher than usual.

When she turned her head away from Luna, she saw her second son and mother, who would never come out normally.

Awkward.

The pupils of the two, who met my eyes, shake slightly.

However, he immediately changes his expression so that his embarrassment is not noticed.

Anyway, I was surprised that I, who should have been beaten by bandits in the carriage the night before, came back unscathed.

But this was only the beginning.

Kyle’s eyes widen in astonishment at the sight of the white-haired girl who got off the carriage after Aline and me.

“Archmage of Fenia…?”

Recognizing at once that she is the Archmage Fenia, she immediately becomes polite.

The other maids, who did not recognize her, also change into tense expressions at Kyle’s words.

They, who couldn’t hear the news outside the mansion, were also aware of the fear engraved in the name of the Archmage.

At the sudden visit of the Archmage, Kyle asks in a trembling voice.

“Well, why did you come to our mansion?”

“I decided to stay at your mansion for the time being.”

“At our mansion?”

“Yes.”

Kyle looked at Fenia with an incomprehensible expression.

Fenia turned her head and pointed her finger at me to help Kyle understand.

“I decided to stay in this mansion from now on and teach Rail about magic.”

Then, as if she thought she had said her word, Fenia moved her feet to the entrance of her mansion alone.

The maids, who had been watching her in a daze, regained their senses and began guiding her into the mansion.

I also followed her in her steps.

However, I stopped in front of Kyle without moving to the mansion.

Kyle’s gaze crosses mine.

I put the dagger I had in his chest into his hand while laughing.

“·······!”

Kyle is so surprised to see the dagger I gave him that he drops it on the floor.

I bent down to pick up the dagger that Kyle had dropped.

Then I put the dagger directly into his chest to prevent him from dropping it again.

“Don’t lose it next time.”

He couldn’t answer my words as if his body was frozen.

It was because the owner of the dagger was the dagger used by the bandit leader who attacked us the night before.

After me and Allyn entered the mansion, Kyle couldn’t move his body for a while.

From now on, it won’t happen for the time being that he will seek my life.

No, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to do the same thing he did yesterday if his life was worth it.
