Bruno said sincerely.
I glanced around. People were looking at us as if we were some noble young master bullying his servants, and there were some critical voices in the crowd.
“Mr. Bruno, please get up. Silphie, I already have [Arrogant Water Dragon King], so you can have this staff.”
"Thank you for accepting it!"
Bruno stood up with a relieved expression, while Sylphie, holding her staff, blushed and looked at me shyly.
"I can't accept this... I'm not Rudy's..."
"You are an important person to me, Silphie."
"Hey!"

Chapter 61: Whispers
……
Kyrie Illusion:
It's been over two months since Miss Alice turned fifteen.
Even though she hasn't mastered the Light Blade, in terms of swordsmanship, no one would deny that she is a sword saint.
If I could take Alice to the Holy Land of Swords and see her talent in swordsmanship, I wonder if my master would be happy.
I think if it were a master, he would definitely say something like, "From now on, practice here with me!"
After all, talented swordsmen often receive the appreciation of their masters.
It would be a waste of Alice's talent to have me teach her. If she were to go to the "Sacred Land of Swords," Alice might become the new Sword King or even a higher-ranking figure.
The last time I asked Lord Philip to take Alice to the Holy Land of Swords was half a year ago, and I was indeed short-sighted back then.
Lord Philip is right. He wouldn't have entrusted Alice to me without being absolutely certain of bringing her back safely.
Alice now has considerable strength, but Lord Philip went to the capital after Alice's fifteenth birthday, and he has probably been there for more than a month now.
"Gilead! It's time!"
I opened the door, and the tall, elegant young lady was waiting for me, her arms crossed over her chest.
It's hard to believe it's been almost ten years since I came here to be Miss Alice's swordsmanship teacher. When I first met Alice, she was just a little kid running around naked.
"I'll be just like my mother from now on!"
The little girl who used to strut around naked in front of her mother, patting her chest and showing off to me, has grown into a perfectly proportioned young woman.
Although her breasts aren't as impressive as her mother's, any man would be completely captivated by them.
"Gilead?"
I shook my head, stopped recalling, and looked at this "little girl" again.
Her long red hair was tied back in a ponytail, and with her sharp, triangular eyes and fair, dewy face, I actually felt like an old mother scrutinizing her daughter.
It's a pity I don't have my own children... Will I need to... during my next heat cycle?
"Gilead!"
Alice brought me back to reality once again.
"Oh, sorry, I was daydreaming."
I took two wooden swords from inside the house and followed Miss Alice into the courtyard.
"Alice, let's continue practicing the basics today."
"Gilead, I want to learn the Light Blade."
Alice grumbled and began to swing her sword.
boom!
With a flick of my wrist, I knocked the sword from Alice's hand.
"That's not enough; it needs to reach a reasonable level."
Miss Alice is still the same as ever, impatient and constantly thinking about other things, so her hand is unsteady when she swings the sword.
She picked up the wooden sword and continued to swing it up and down, practicing the basics.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to teach her the Light Blade, but she still needs to practice some basics. Once she masters the basics, she will naturally be able to use the Light Blade.
My master, the Sword God, used to emphasize the importance of "reasonableness" to me, who wasn't very bright.
The term "reasonable" refers to the basics.
This is Master's theory.
The foundation of a school of thought, cultivated over many years, is a collection of rational elements.
I also follow my master's theory, so in teaching Miss Alice, the higher her level, the more I pursued a "rational" existence.
"Gilead, Alice, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing the sound, Alice stopped swinging her sword, and I turned around too.
Mrs. Hilda was watching us from the side, holding something that looked like a letter in her hand.
"Alice, there's a letter for you."
"Is that Rudius?!"
Upon hearing the news, Lady Alice dropped her sword and rushed over. She always got especially excited whenever Rudeus was mentioned.
Rudeus sent a letter six months ago, and Miss Alice may still have that letter.
Rudeus's former bedroom has been well preserved and is cleaned by servants every day. The dolls that Rudeus called "figures" are also treasured by Miss Alice.
"No, it was sent by your father from the capital."
Upon hearing Lady Hilda's words, Miss Alice immediately showed a disappointed expression, but still opened the letter to read it.
Six months ago, after receiving news of Rudeus's departure, Miss Alice strongly requested to see Rudeus off, but unfortunately, she arrived too late and was unable to see him in the end.
At that moment, Miss Alice calmed down for a while, and then buried her face in my arms and cried.
I can understand Miss Alice's feelings. Although Rudeus's travels can be described as very simple, it is said that his only guard is a lower-ranking noble with the strength of the Water God Stream.
But there must be a reason why Lord Philip made this arrangement.
"Woooooooo..."
"Miss Alice!"
Miss Alice dropped the letter and ran away; I heard her sobbing softly.
Lady Hilda simply watched Miss Alice's departing figure with a calm expression.
"Mrs. Hilda, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is the content of the letter..."
Lady Hilda appeared calm, but tears welled in her eyes. Had something happened to Lord Philip...?
“My husband wrote a letter saying that he will bring Alice to the capital in a while so that she can take a position in the Knights.”
So that's how it is...
Miss Alice may seem rude, but she is actually a sensitive child.

……
"You are an important person to me, Silphie."
"Hey!"
Hilfi held the newly acquired magic wand in her left hand and covered her mouth with her right. Because she was wearing a hat, her ears couldn't be seen, but they must have been as red as her face.
Then she stammered something that made me embarrassed.
"Lulu...Rudy...is also...someone important to me..."
Hearing Sylphie say that, I felt my face burning. Although I was the one who said those embarrassing things first, Sylphie's blushing face was just too cute...
Bruno smiled at us; he probably already misunderstood that we were in that kind of relationship...
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, there was definitely some kind of... feeling between Hilfi and me, a bit of a flirtatious kind of thing.
Actually, at first I thought of Silphie more like a younger sister or daughter, but later I gradually felt that it might be good to keep her as a childhood sweetheart and girlfriend in the future.
That kiss she gave me on my tenth birthday almost completely won me over...
But a lot happened afterward, and I also considered marrying Sylphie. But when I got home and saw Sylphie's condition, I even had a slight thought of abandoning her. But I couldn't do that because she was already tied to me.
Moreover, even though she makes me a little scared, I still like her.
Later, I lost my right arm. Hilfi initially blamed herself, but then she always thought of me and was even willing to do things she didn't want to do for me.
To be honest, I feel like I'm not good enough for her.
However, Hilfi is changing me to some extent, forcing me to face some things that I must face, and to stop thinking about running away.
It's so great to have Hilfi by my side.
"Lord Rudius, Miss Silphiet, I will be staying at the Merchant Guild until spring, so please feel free to contact me if you need anything. I wish you both a pleasant university life."
"Well, goodbye, Mr. Bruno."
Bruno bowed deeply to us and then got into the carriage.
After saying goodbye to Bruno, with plenty of time to spare, Sylphie and I strolled around the streets of Sharia to familiarize ourselves with the city before heading to La Noa Magic University to register.
Does this count as a date?
However, since we still had to go to university to register, Silphie and I only took a brief look around and didn't spend too much time there. After all, we'll have plenty of time later.
When we passed through the commercial area, Hilfi stared at a clothing store window for a long time, but when I asked her if she wanted to go in and take a look, she shook her head and said, "Nothing," and then pulled me to other places.
The town center is home to the Magic Guild, built with the latest anti-magic bricks. To the east is the student area centered around the Magic University, to the west is the workshop area centered around the Magic Item Workshop, to the north is the commercial area centered around the Commerce Guild, and to the south is the inn area that welcomes travelers and adventurers.
After eating some of the food we brought, it was past noon when Silphie and I arrived at "Lanoia Magic University".
Looking from outside the gate, there are several brick buildings standing on both sides, and in the center of the school, there is a castle-like building facing the gate, which may also serve as a fortress.
The school campus appears to be very large, somewhat reminiscent of the University of Tsukuba.
As for university... unfortunately, I only finished junior high school and had no chance to go to university.
But universities probably have places like libraries, cafes, and theaters.
Speaking of coffee shops... Teacher Luo Qixi has probably arrived long ago, perhaps enjoying cakes, ice cream, and other desserts in a coffee shop or similar place on campus.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
A girl wearing a brown magician's robe, with long, light blue hair braided into three braids, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, sneezed twice, then rubbed her nose and walked past us into the school gate.
That is……
"Teacher Luo Qixi?"
I spoke to the girl's back, but she ignored me, probably because we were too far apart and my voice wasn't loud enough.
Never mind, I'll greet her after I get into the school.
But I was a little worried before entering the school gate, because the infamous names of me and Sylphie—"Rudeus the One-Armed Sorcerer" and "Sylphie the Sped Girl"—had spread throughout the streets and alleys.
In just a few months, almost the entire Kingdom of Lanoa knew that Hilfi and I had almost wiped out the garrison of Dark City.
Will the guards refuse us entry because of our bad reputation...?
I pulled Shilufi along to the guard.
"Hello, we are new students here to register for university. May we go in?"
