Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

Part 1/2

“You’ve been summoned to partic.i.p.ate in the meeting that’s going to be held soon . ”

I was playing with Master Horace for a while before taking the meal Maysan brought me . I was told about the meeting at that time .

At that time, I was trying to explain to her that Master wasn’t an ornament . However, Master pretended to be an ornament . Because of that, Maysan seemed to have thought of me as a pitiful child and I became fl.u.s.tered at Master’s unfeeling nature .

In the end, Maysan managed to understand that Master was a product of magic with the old man’s soul inside, but… “Magic sure is amazing,” as Maysan was being impressed by it, she suddenly dropped a bomb, “but Kiara was the one who designed it, right?” and that settled the perception that my sense was strange .

After that, Master was making a fuss over whether his outward appearance was indeed weird or not . So, I showed him a mirror and let him be stunned .

The invitation arrived exactly at this harmonious scene .

This time, the one who called me out wasn’t the auntie servant .

The margave’s knight was there next to me in order to formally summon me to the meeting .

…I felt that my position had changed .

Perhaps the margrave thought that they had to change the way they treated me after I became a magician .

I was absent-minded for a few seconds upon receiving the invitation .

Going out to war . Having to find a way to kill the enemy again .

I realized that war wasn’t a simplicity . Even if it was already too late in game, my feeling of not wanting to kill anyone was present, and I still wondered if there was something I could do about it .

As I was biting my lips unconsciously in my worry, Master whispered some words to me . And those words helped me reach a determination .

“Don’t you wish for your friends to stay alive?”

The reason I became a magician in the first place .

Master Horace reminded me of the reason why I still chose this path in the end, despite the fact that I wouldn’t be able to die a normal death and would have to die by turning into sand .

As I had accepted the invitation to the meeting, first, I had to change my clothes .

I was dressed in this soft cotton sleepwear while I was unconscious . Therefore, I asked the knight to wait for me outside the room . On top of that, Maysan also helped me in changing my clothes .

However, when I was about to choose the clothes, I wavered .

During the time we subjugated the evil beasts, I borrowed and wore the small-sized men’s clothes that was easy to move in . I thought that it would be better to wear that clothes again if we were to act immediately, but Maysan handed me a set of a dress and cloak as she was instructing me to wear them instead .

It was a thick dress that was made firmly, but it wasn’t something that belonged in my possession .

Its color wasn’t flashy at all . Rather, its color resembled my eye color, a deep green tinged with ashes . And the cloak’s color was blue, a proof that the wearer belonged to Faruzia kingdom’s army .

“Beatrice-sama asked me to have you wear this, Kiara . She said that it wouldn’t do if you were to wear an ordinary military uniform should the time come when you have to move as a magician . ”

Madam Beatrice seemed to have prepared this equipment as something like a congratulatory gift for my employment . Moreover, she began making it around the time I started saying things like, “I will become a magician!”

She is just like a mother… The salty liquid began to blur my eyes .

Then, while I was wearing the clothes as Maysan helped me solemnly, I suddenly noticed something .

Eh? Won’t I be unable to ride on the golem to rush with it in this dress?

As expected for a newbie (level 1) like me, my magic will be broken if I am not in contact with it . So, for the sake of maintaining contact, I rode on its shoulders as if I was riding a big robot, but if I were wearing a skirt, it would get turned up by the wind and my legs…

“It’s woven, too . ”

Maysan smiled .

“If you’re wearing this dress, you won’t be able to act recklessly, right? That’s why, this is a restraint for you . ”

I couldn’t even say, “Guh…” . It seemed that Madam Beatrice and Maysan thought of me as a reckless girl .

If one were to wear a skirt, one wouldn’t like to have it get turned up, and one wouldn’t be able to do something like jumping down the roof . This set of clothes was chosen under such an implication .

But certainly… If I don’t want to have my legs shown, I will have to be carried around or I have to act while thinking about my own safety quite carefully .

Beatrice-sama is indeed a tactician… Moreover, since she is of the same gender, she knows that one’s movement can be restricted by a trivial thing such as clothing .

With a sense of defeat, I took out Master who I crammed into the blanket as I was embarra.s.sed if he were around when I was changing . I found Master who was moving around similar to a mole, and it was quite amusing .

Even while he was complaining, Master didn’t refuse being held by me like a teddy bear as we moved to the meeting place .

In the middle of the way, the people pa.s.sing by seemed to be more startled by the fact that I was hugging Master rather than by my appearance . However, I paid them no mind .

Upon arriving at the meeting room, the margrave’s knight, who was waiting patiently outside the door while I was changing clothes, opened the door .

In the meeting room, there was a large long table . The people who were sitting next to the table were almost identical as those who attended the previous meeting .

Reggie was sitting at the topmost seat, and Groul-san was standing behind him .

The margrave and margravine were on the left and the right side of Reggie . However, the margrave wasn’t left uninjured . With a haggard expression, he was glancing at the bandage around his cuff .

Alan was sitting next to Margrave Vayne . Perhaps it was to be expected from the protagonist, as he seemed to remain uninjured despite being in the middle of the melee battle and despite having to rescue me . If you think of it in the reality, I wonder how does his current ability compare to the in-game level?

As for the soldiers’ commanding officer… he was quite injured . The incomplete bandage was hanging on his arms, covered by a coat . His injuries were painful to look at . Perhaps the commanding officer was there among the people who remained from those who departed to the front along with the margrave . The defensive commanding officer was stationed in the castle, so he didn’t seem to suffer a great injury . However, he had a gloomy expression .

Then, the most altered part was the fact that they had arranged a seat for me .
