Volume 10 Chapter 10: Night Mission

"So Your Majesty, do you like sweets that much?"

Watching the Emperor slowly eating in front of me caused my head to fill with black lines.

"Well, while there are sweets in the palace, I am often reminded to think of my blood sugar levels."

"Looking at the way you are......you really need to control it."

looking at the empty cup on the table I had to keep smiling as I continued.

"Well, I don't think you asked me to meet you because you wanted to eat a sundae."

"Ha ha. That's right, but if you want one I can send someone to get it."

"Do you have any strawberry flavored?"

"Of course......Willis."

"Right, I'll make one right now."

The sound came from the side, but I didn't see anyone or even a title.

"Invisibility? Or something else?"

"Well, everyone has their own cards. Don't mind it."

"Alright, as you say Your Majesty."

Just as I said that, a sundae in a cup suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the table.

I don't know if it's scary or not, but the way it appeared is......

"So Your Majesty, what did you want from me?"

"Right, about that, I had heard that you had become a teacher in the Witt Empire's Imperial College and stopped by to say hello."

As he spoke, he put emphasis on those four words.

"Well, that's right. I took up a part-time job in my free time. I don't think you care about a magician who has nothing to do taking up a part-time job, right?"

"Of course, I don't mind at all."

His Majesty took a bite out of the sundae before continuing.

"Then you wouldn't mind a little additional work."

"Additional work?"

I was initially surprised but came back in a moment. I think I can understand the connection to what's going on.

"You are allowing me to join the Ice Empire's Intelligence Department?"

"Well......that would be too obvious. You'll just do a little shadowing in the Witt Empire, it's not a large operation."

"So that's it. Then the work won't be too annoying."

"You just need to pay a bit more attention when going around, and give anything to the shop clerk."

"Well, that would be no problem Your Majesty. Is there anything else I should know about?"

"Well......"

He looked down at his sundae and then back at me.

"Are you going to eat your sundae?" "No I'm not."

——————————Dusk settles like a dog——————————

It was already midnight when I returned to my dorm.

To prevent something else from happening, I locked the door and put a fortification spell on the door, in case someone tried to break it down.

So much has happened today, it's really tiring to be a teacher.

However......

The actual reason I was tired wasn't because I was a teacher, but because there were too many things to do here.

In addition, I don't have much free time.

'Bing!'

My headphones suddenly started to beep so I quickly took them out.

"Hey?"

"Fir, this is Ryuuhime."

She sounds like she's breathing hard, she must be running.

"Well, it seems that you've already started to use some technology. What happened? Is there some trouble?"

"You should come over to the dense forest by the school."

Hey hey! Is there a mistake, someone's asking me to go into the jungle in the middle of the night? Especially a girl?

Of course, I know this might not be a good thing.

"Ok...... What's going on?"

"My target...... is fighting another ninja."

"I'm going to go right away, but why is there another ninja?"

"I don't know, but...... it tells me two things. First, we found the right person. Second, I...... may have been abandoned by the organization."
