Chapter 26. What Family Means
“Didn’t you say you were going to the Academy today?”
“I did.”
“Then why are you still here?”
Ravi hastily hid the coffee cup he’d been drinking and chided Camilla without reason.
Why did she show up without even a word of warning?
“I’m taking Arsian with me.”
Brother, you. How many cups of coffee is that today? Why are you hiding it? You’ve already had more than four!
Camilla narrowed her eyes and glared at Ravi menacingly.
“Why are you taking that one again? The newcomer keeps disappearing at the drop of a hat! How long has it been since he returned from the Gracia Empire?”
This is only my fourth cup, actually.
“I already have permission from the Magic Tower Master.”
Don’t lie! I can see it’s your fifth cup. Brother, you! You won’t come to your senses until a hole gets punched right through your head, will you?
“Your direct senior takes priority—does getting permission from the Magic Tower Master settle everything?”
“Then yes, it does.”
“What!”
“Put your hand down from that cup while I’m asking nicely.”
“…Tsk.”
Ravi’s attempt to discreetly pass the coffee cup to the junior mage sitting beside him to preserve his drink ultimately failed.
“Arsian.”
“Yes.”
“Hey, hey!”
At Camilla’s call, Arsian snatched the coffee cup from Ravi’s hands as if he’d been waiting for it and brought it to Camilla.
“Sigh.”
Those demonic creatures! They’re exactly alike, I tell you!
Ravi ran his hand roughly through his hair and glared at the two of them with displeasure.
“Why are you suddenly going to the Academy? And taking that brat with you too. You said you were busy lately and never went, so are you suddenly thinking about studying?”
“I don’t need to study—my grades are always excellent.”
“…Do people tell you often that you’re insufferable?”
“No, they don’t tell me that!”
“You’re loud, and I’m serious—why do you suddenly want to go to the Academy?”
Did you cause some kind of trouble? This seems suspicious.
“I want to see the little ones.”
“Little ones?”
“Rio and Sena.”
I haven’t seen them even once since they enrolled.
‘I should also ask about the sacred relic.’
While I’m there, I plan to ask Sena about the sacred relic that was stolen from the Imperial Palace recently, and through her, ask Rube.
“Ah.”
Rio and Sena were children Ravi knew well too. They were the ones Camilla was particularly fond of.
“You said they were enrolling this time?”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm.”
Ravi, who had been rummaging through his desk, suddenly tossed something to Camilla.
“What is this?”
“Give them to the kids.”
“The kids?”
What Ravi had handed over were two bracelets—miniature versions of the one he wore, one might say.
“Both of them have been kidnapped before, haven’t they?”
They should be wearing something like this, at least.
“Oh, Ravi.”
“Hey, use the right form of address!”
“You remembered all that? Impressive.”
When had he even prepared something like this?
The children had mentioned in passing once that they’d been kidnapped by the Evah Religion before, and apparently he’d remembered it.
Camilla let out a soft laugh at Ravi’s thoughtful gesture after so long, and carefully secured the bracelets.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m increasing your coffee to five cups.”
“…I wasn’t expecting that anyway!”
If he wasn’t expecting it, why did he look so disappointed? Camilla clicked her tongue lightly and handed the coffee cup she’d taken from him back to Ravi.
“Just drink this one and stop.”
“…! Yeah!”
“…”
My simple older brother. Watching him wiggle his lips happily over just one unfinished cup of coffee, I shook my head slightly.
Bang!
“Senior Ravi!”
“…? What’s wrong?”
At that moment, the door burst open and someone rushed in. It was a mage from the Magic Tower.
Ravi frowned at the junior’s behavior of entering without knocking, and seeing the panic on his face, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
“A request for cooperation has come from the Imperial Palace.”
“Cooperation?”
What could be so urgent about that? The Imperial Palace requesting magical assistance from the Magic Tower was a common occurrence.
“There’s apparently a strange phenomenon happening in the middle of the Capital right now!”
“A strange phenomenon?”
“A black fog-like substance has taken over the area, and apparently no one can enter inside it.”
“Fog?”
At the junior mage’s words, Ravi tilted his head. Black fog? What could that possibly be to prevent people from entering?
“Right now, not just the Magic Tower but the Temple is also being asked for help. The Tower Master is telling everyone to gather immediately…”
“So, where exactly is it?”
Standing up from his seat to answer the summons, Ravi asked one final question. Where in the Capital was this phenomenon occurring?
“The Academy.”
“…What?”
“…Where?”
Arsian and Camilla, who had been listening quietly to the conversation, interjected simultaneously. Camilla’s voice grew urgent as she pressed the junior mage for clarification.
“You’re talking about the Imperial Academy in the Capital right now?”
“Yes. All the children are trapped there right now. It’s complete chaos.”
“….”
“….”
At that answer, both their expressions hardened in an instant.
