People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"Ah, oh."

"..."

Although Hasekura Lengli is a famous young lady, this overly thoughtful approach still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Sigurd, on the other hand, sat in without a word, squinting his eyes without much thought.

Seeing that Sigurd had no intention of speaking, Hasekura Lengli sat quietly.

Although it feels a little restrained, but just from the appearance, it can be seen that Hasakura Lengri has calmed down now, at least he doesn't have to worry about biting his tongue when he speaks.

Pete Virgo confirmed that both of them got into the car, and he got into the car in front of him.

Sigurd and the others, escorted by other vehicles at the front and rear, slowly drove towards the center of Paris.

After a long time, Hasekura Lengri finally let out a long sigh when he was alone with Sigurd.

"That Mr. Sigurd..."

"You can just call me by my first name, and I feel uncomfortable adding those honorifics with unclear meanings."

"Ah, then..."

Hasekura Lengli hesitated, after all, the education she received was to be called appropriately.

However, Hasekura Lengli is not a person who doesn't know how to change, or if she is really dead-headed, she can't be called one of the three major factions of Tokiwadai.

"Mr. Sigurd, don't you think they are a little..."

"affectation."

"..."

In fact, Hasakura Lengli wanted to say "they are a little too careful", but she didn't have the face to refute Sigurd, so she didn't say anything.

"Such a fanfare to send us to the city center with a convoy, how does it feel like announcing to the outside world that 'we have a very special guest'? Isn't that more dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous. After all, although there are many voices against Academy City, it's still too arrogant to cause trouble in France. No organization is willing to offend a 'five permanent members' as a premise, just to make Academy City unhappy. .”

Hasekura nodded coldly, she also knew that her worry might be unnecessary.

After all, no matter how much France itself attaches importance to this exchange of ability demonstrations, only Sigurd, the rumored "no. Danger.

(I feel that Mr. Sigurd is still very reliable, although I heard from Mi Ant that sometimes he is out of tune.)

Hasekura Lengli thought so, and the vehicle continued to move forward on the road.

And meanwhile somewhere in France...

"Have people from Academy City already arrived?"

[Yes, Academy City's ability user Hasekura Lengli and special researcher Sigurd Kihara Kustodi have already boarded the car and are heading towards the center of Paris. 】

"Sigurd Kihara Kustodi, that monster mercenary is straightforward, I don't even bother to change his name..."

Leaning on an old-fashioned wooden rocking chair, an old-fashioned rotary telephone is beside him.

Judging from the gemstones and various patterns decorated on it, I'm afraid it should be more of a work of art than using this old-fashioned rotary phone, right?

【What to do next?To intercept them in the suburbs? 】

"No. No matter how strong that mercenary is, he can't fight against all of us alone."

[But the two times of the Knights of Orleans and the Spanish Star Church...]

"Although those guys are a rare help. But the mad dog who doesn't obey the command at all will die as soon as it dies. And now we can be completely different from before."

【I see.Then we will continue to monitor the movements of Sigurd and Academy City ability users, one......]

"No, you evacuate immediately. There are other things for you to do."

[But is this okay?If we let that mercenary come into contact with that woman, for our actions...]

"It's all right. That woman is nothing more than a lackey of the Roman Orthodox Church, and there is nothing to worry about."

The person on the other side of the communication didn't have too many reasons to ask, the faithful executor man's instructions.

Caressing the golden long sword in his arms, the man with the monocle looked at the bustling scene outside the window with a peaceful expression.

Something in his eyes became more determined, and he put the long sword into the sword belt at his waist, and the man stepped out of the room alone.

"Then, start turning, the cog that symbolizes new birth..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Then, regarding the room, this is where the two of you will stay for the rest of the time."

Sigurd and Hasekura Ryori, who were led into the room by Pete Virgo, looked at the entire building.

In fact, this is the top floor of the hotel. It seems to be for this time's display of abilities, so the entire floor is isolated and used as a residence for Sigurd and Rengli Hasekura.

Needless to say about the room, the hotel itself that can be selected is also of a very high standard.

A little worth mentioning is that there seems to be all the facilities on this floor, including the bar and the outdoor swimming pool.

Coming from the direction he just walked, Sigurd has gone through four or five times of identity verification, from eye prints, fingerprints to blood verification. Sigurd is worried that if this man comes more than a few times a day, will this man be stabbed? anemia.

"That, may I ask..."

"Is there any problem with Ms. Hasekura? If it's a meal, you can use the internal phone to inform the service staff at the front desk, and we will also provide the highest standard of meals. Of course, considering that you are still a minor, we will It is not possible to serve alcohol, and we need to know about this."

"Actually, I want to ask if the official event is the third and fourth day? And then the rehearsal starts from the second day?"

Although Lengli Hasekura lived surrounded by Tokiwadai students on weekdays, honestly, he had never seen such an occasion where he was overly thoughtful and honored.

Even the maids at home don't have this kind of attitude. Although there may be no difference fundamentally, compared to those maids, this man is very strange.

I'm afraid that if Hasakura Lengli complains, "The curtains are so ugly", I'm afraid the man in front of him will immediately find out a catalog of styles, and then ask someone to change them immediately.

"Yes, Ms. Hasekura, the official activities will start on the third day, and your ability demonstration will be on the third day, and the fourth day will be some reports and meetings. At that time, you and Sigurd-kun will also need to turn up."

"That is to say, until the end of the fourth day, except for the part that needs to go out to participate, we need to stay here for the rest of the time, right? I originally said that I wanted to go shopping."

"Of course, for the sake of unnecessary joint and several liability, it's better to ask Ms. Hasekura to control the night tour. If there is anything you are interested in, you can ask the staff to buy it. Of course, red wine and the like are still inconvenient. "

Pete Virgo turned to face Sigurd who was sitting on the sofa looking at the bottle of champagne in the ice bucket.

He confirmed Sigurd's eyes a little bit, and if Sigurd leaked a curious look, he would immediately ask "do you need to open it" or "do you want this brand of champagne" and "Mr. Do you need wine?" or something.

At this time, Sigurd obviously just felt aroused, and put it back after looking at it casually.

So the man's judgment is that Sigurd is not interested in champagne, and he is not the type of person who understands wine very well.

"By the way, Mr. Sigurd, please consider which day to arrange for journalists and which day for the general public. After all, the French side fully respects Academy City's opinion on this point. Of course, in fact, it must be said The thing is that there is no difference. In addition, can all the security personnel use our side? If..."

Sigurd waved his hand to signal the other party to stop talking. He couldn't listen to this kind of uncomfortable conversation for a moment.

Although I had experienced it at the Dazzling Home Economics Women's Academy last time, this time it was an unforgettable experience.

Sigurd also had to lament that Silvia was a professional maid after all, although she would often do things like throw him off the fourteenth floor.

The man also shut up right away very tactfully, as far as he can tell from his words and demeanor, he is doing a good job.

Perhaps it was this talent that allowed him to climb to this position.

"The reason why Academy City sent me a researcher to accompany them is to express the trust of Academy City to France. Since the two parties have a friendly and cooperative relationship, Academy City will naturally not send security personnel. Accompanying, this kind of behavior is unbelievable, isn't it?"

In any case, it is also an exhibition for the purpose of alleviating the "technical level" difference friction between Academy City and the cooperative organization.

If the participating espers are surrounded by people from Academy City, it will create a situation like "it is impossible to get close to the espers of Academy City".

I am afraid that it will only run counter to the original purpose of reducing friction, and give France a feeling that "Academy City does not trust us".

Of course, there is nothing to worry about in Academy City.

After all, although most people are not very clear about the details.But as the top management of Academy City, everyone knows that Sigurd is a "Kihara" besides himself, and also understands that Sigurd is a very defensive person.

If France really messes up something, what he has to worry about is not the safety of Hasekura Lengli, or whether the intelligence of the ability user is leaked.

If France really makes Sigurd unhappy, whether he will demolish the Palace of Versailles is what they are most worried about.

The man briefly explained that all the facilities on the floor are open to Sigurd and Hasekura Ryori, and some trivial matters such as instructions on using the internal phone when services are needed, etc., and then bowed and left.

It seems that from the perspective of foreigners, bowing is probably the only action that comes to mind when talking about "formal etiquette" in Japan.

Although in terms of facts, it is indeed the same.

"Hey......"

After Pete Virgo left, Hasekura Lengri heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, her identity and standpoint represent Academy City, so she can only keep smiling and stand still without losing etiquette.

Even though he was tired, he couldn't sit down right away.

"Mr. Sigurd, have we been staying here for the past few days?"

"What are you thinking about? Tomorrow's rehearsal is okay, but your schedule is already packed after the official event the day after tomorrow. Do you think you'll be back before nine or ten o'clock?"

"Well, I feel so tired..."

The schedule is packed from beginning to end.

All dealing with adults.

I have to keep running around every minute and every second. Even if I have free time, I will be locked up hard because of "later reservations" for reasons outside of time.

While leaning on the sofa to study the dinner menu, Sigurd lowered his eyes and glanced in the direction of the elevator going upstairs.

"It came very quickly, I thought I was going to find her in the Palace of Versailles..."

"Huh? What happened to Mr. Sigurd? Are we going to the Palace of Versailles? I don't even have a chance to see it?"

"Well, there should be a chance on the last day. I'll go out for a while, and you stay here..."

Sigurd got up and took an apple from the fruit plate on the table.

Hasekura Lengri didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded to Sigurd's "I'll go out for a while".

After all, Sigurd is one of the top researchers in Academy City, so it is not surprising that there will be different arrangements.

Walking to the door of the open room, Sigurd stopped suddenly.

"Speaking of which, there is a girl named Yan Cheng in your faction, right?"

"Yes, didn't that child have been taken care of by you some time ago? It doesn't seem like a good choice to give girls red crystals?"
