The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 64: It probably involves a woman

I see. You wish to hang up.

Once again the silence and stillness created by Kunon was broken by the rational representative Lulomet.

I was invited by many women.

I didnt want to embarrass them, so I didnt turn any of them down.

As a gentleman or not, I understood Kunons intentions.

There was something I wanted to say, but not now.

At any rate, Kunons reply to the women was neither contradictory nor false.

I think I can appreciate that much.

Aside from the issue of dishonesty.

Crossing factions is not without precedent. I doubt there will be that much resistance on that point.

Bail from Competence, Shiroto from Harmony, and the others nodded in agreement.

Yes, its not uncommon to hear about factions holding hands.

For example, the precious three-star and four-star sorcerers.

Those who possess the attributes of light, dark, and evil, which are rare even in places where many sorcerers gather.

There are times when a rare sorcerer is desperately needed for experimentation, research, and verification.

Thats why the factions sometimes will ask for crossover

Its a bit awkward to say, but its a way to share research subjects.

The saint Reyes Centrance, who enrolled in the school this year, will also be asked to take part in the research.

The only problem now is that,

However, it is very rare for a student to request it.

Kunon Gurion is a two-star water sorcerer.

Its no secret that hes an excellent one.

Even in this strained situation, the representatives of the three factions hold him in such high regard that they have no intention of giving up on him.

But even so.

When I was asked if I really wanted to be allowed to have multiple jobs, I was unsure.

As long as you are involved with each faction, you will have the opportunity to learn about things that each faction wants to keep secret.

There must be many opportunities to come into contact with experiments and research data.

If you are told that you are going to be visiting other places with those things, you may want to say, Wait a minute.

Simply put, it would be like letting in a spy authorized by each faction.

Of course, thats a possibility.

I dont know if Kunon is the kind of kid who would spill their secrets.

But a possibility is a possibility.

And this possibility, even if it is only a possibility, is hard to overlook.

The faction is willing to allow it to happen because they want it to happen.

Otherwise, it would be unacceptable.

Normally.

Kunon, Id like to ask you if youre worthy of being allowed to cross over.

Well? Isnt it someone else who appreciates me?

As soon as he thought that his reply was somewhat curt, Lulomet whispered to Shiroto, Can you ask me the same question?

Are you worthy enough to be allowed to cross factions?

I dont know. But Ill do everything in my power to be exactly what you want me to be.

This is a blatant temperature difference.

Ive been with you for a short time now, and its a very Kunon style answer.

If its for the sake of Mistress Shiroto, Ill even go beyond the four-point barrier forbidden to maidservants.

Dont go over that.

If you stay up all night for more than three days, your life will be in danger.

Well, whatever. Im sure youll agree that its our domain to talk about.

Lulomet and Shiroto nodded to Bail, who opened his mouth to interrupt.

Right.

In the end, it is the strength of the sorcerer that counts.

So, what do you think? Kunon.

We want you, but we dont want to hang around. We want to have you all to ourselves. But when you ask me if I want you enough to have unnecessary worries and put in unnecessary effort, Im not sure Im willing to accept that.

I dont like it when men say they want me.

I dont want a man to want me. Put that aside for now.

Magic is a world of ability. There are sorcerers who succeed at a young age, and there are sorcerers who do not succeed at an old age.

In other words, we want you to show us that youre good enough even if you have to work two jobs.

I dont need this level of skill.

If you can do this well, we want you.

They want to measure the boundary between the two.

I see.

Kunon nodded, understanding what was being said.

In other words, you want to test whether or not Im allowed to work with you?

Thats what I meant.

Kunon was convinced.

He was invited to join, but it was Kunons decision to join.

Im not going to argue with you that I dont belong because you dont allow me to hang around or give me preferential treatment.

And if they were not allowed to hang out, I would be lying to the women I promised to belong to.

In other words, they would be humiliated.

The gentlemen Kunon will not allow them to go back on the promises he made to the women.

But if a man says he wants it

The only thing that bothers me is that I dont have any motivation to do anything if Bail wants me to.

Shiroto, please! He really reacts too differently to men and women!

He was quickly establishing how to handle Kunon.

Kunon, what happened since then?

It was almost evening when Leeya returned to the saints classroom after practicing and recording the flight experiment.

The flight experiment was almost at its end.

Tomorrow or the day after, the report would be completed to the satisfaction of both Leeya and Kunon.

But thats not the point now.

Leeya finds Kunon back in the classroom and asks him what happened to him after lunch.

What happened to Kunon after the angry fairies took him away?

From the outside, it looks like hes not doing so well.

What actually happened to him?

Leeya was curious about the faction to which Kunon belonged.

He vaguely wished that they were the same faction Rationality.

Oh, wait a minute.

The herb Shi Shirura will soon be fully grown.

From there, it will be formulated into a magical medical product, and I was just discussing this with the saint.

Kunon hurriedly hid the note so that Leeya wouldnt see it, as this was indeed a matter of public record.

I told you to lock the door.

Im not allowed to be alone with a woman in a locked room. You should be more careful with this kind of thing. Its always the woman who gets hurt by such misunderstandings.

Youre absolutely right.

Thats true, but

But when Kunon says something decent to a woman, it no longer feels backwards.

Oh, Im sorry. Were you in the middle of something?

Dont worry about it, I was just checking on future work. So? What was that?

I was wondering what happened after lunch.

Since then? Nothings happened. I just talked to the representatives of the factions.

Youre lying.

How could there be nothing after being taken by those angry fairies?

No, I mean, to begin with.

What faction did you end up belonging to, Kunon?

Its Leeya decided to be Rationality?

Huh? Yeah. Maybe.

While replying, Leeya remembered the dainty Cassis, who was too dazzling for a country girl and had a delicate feeling.

According to Kunon, Thats a man.

I still cant believe it, but I also cant believe that Kunon would lie to me for no reason.

And I dont think hes going to be wrong.

If youre a member of the Faction of Rationality, youre going to be more or less involved with me Im not sure how I feel about Cassis, but Im afraid of the city anyway.

Well, you can ask your older colleagues after you join. Its not for me to say.

Whats that?

Thats it.

Thats it?

Im not sure, but Kunon doesnt seem to want to say.

Im sure it has something to do with a woman.

Yes indeed.

I completely agree with the saint.

Im sure there was something related to women that happened.

The only thing that could make Kunon feel uncomfortable is if it was related to women.

In fact, it wasnt until the next day that I found out that it was more than just something that happened.
