My Glasses Will Be Able to Conquer the Whole World, I Suppose

for one.
For that person, I can’t even tell without wearing the 「Megane」.

Maybe it’s just me who isn’t aware, and in truth, there are much more strong people out there.
I know it, an unknown danger is the most terrifying danger.

「Please, don’t humble yourself.
I heard you hunted three wolves in an instant.」 

And you can massacre all the six in the same frame of time, don’t you? And if you like, you can do it even faster, don’t you?

「It was a task handed over by Lorobel-san after all, the wolves’ movement was sluggish by their exhaustion.」 

「Three.
Each shot for each, right on their head without a miss.
This fact alone tells me how skilled you are.」 

And for you, you can do it with bare hands.

Once I stepped inside the mansion, I can feel I am being surrounded by impending dangers, more dangerous than ever.

「……」

And yet, it’s oddly lacking human presence.
My mind tells me there are five people, but my instinct amends that there definitely are more. 

There is no killing intent.

I can’t sense the gazes either.

I don’t feel any presence from a human nearby as well.

And yet, this sense of danger that encircled me from every possible direction.
Just what is this?

Gramps turned his head to me who stopped my feet, refusing to enter.

「Be at ease.
If we really want to do it, then it should have been done by now.」 

　…………

It, which means, that, huh.

「Should I interpret this as this mansion’s way to welcome me?」 

「It shouldn’t be a problem if you do so.」 

…I can’t see through his words. 

This gramps is totally testing me since the first time we met.
This eerie sense of danger that’s pricking me too, I’m sure it’s also one of the tests.
By someone’s intention.

If I thought about again, though thin, he did say that he is 「testing」 me. 

If they really wanted to kill me, then it should’ve been over by now.

Just what does that mean, I wonder? It’s nothing but a bad premonition.

「—Ah, you’ve come! 」 

Nn?

「Thank you very much for what you have done last night!」 

The one with disarranged golden hair who’s running over is a girl with 「Megane」 on her.

Precisely, it’s that girl who wears 「my Megane」.

…If I recall correctly, Lorobel said that this girl is a daughter of an aristocrat, didn’t she? If I don’t watch what I said, she’ll impeach me blasphemy, huh.
Scary.

「Aah, yes.
…Are your injuries fine now?」 

Although Lorobel did say she just suffered minor injuries, it was a fact that she fainted while being pinned under a carriage yesterday.
I don’t think trotting like that is a clever move.

「Yes.
Not only it was just minor injuries, but it’s also cured without a trace by recovery magic.
」 

Ah, recovery magic huh.

That’s aristocrats for you, they can request a Magic Doctor as long as they have the money.

This art of healing with instant effect namely recovery magic is also a reason why magicians are precious.
What we’re talking about is injuries being healed right in front of your eyes.
Magic is awesome, isn’t it? I haven’t seen any magic in my life except that weak flying slash …Ah, 「Megane」 is also magic, for once.

「 You have come in a good time.
I was about to call you.

—Well then, you two.
Please meet Master right away.」

Eh? Why the two of us?

…The bad premonition is worse than I expected.

This is, how do I put it… a premonition that tells me I can’t return to the village for a while.

3/3

Mabbo here.

My deepest apologies for being inactive for the past month.
I know this doesn’t justify my absence, but I have my reasons.
Simply put, I was extra busy.
Literally only stopped at my house to shower before I departed again.
Assignments, contests, practices, exams, my dead phone, it was hard for me to even spare a little time to care about my shipfus in Azur Lane in-between my tight schedule (I missed an entire event!) I hope you understand.

Now, for MOSS readers (if there is any), I’m sorry I haven’t posted new stories in, like, ages.
Along with the reason above, I also decided to continue my long-dead series.
It doesn’t mean I’m dropping MOSS altogether, however, I just shifted my attention.
I’ll post MOSS out of the blue every once in a while.

Well then.
