An exclusive mage who broke up with his alchemist childhood friend, wants to lead a slow life in a remote town – Intermission 5 – True master rank

I heard Loyd is back in Minerva, and I’m thinking about going to see him.

I haven’t seen him for two months, so I’m looking forward to it.

“Lela! Said Loy, the boy who used to come by to play…

Loy used to be a shota, but… After meeting him again seven years later… He turned into a handsome guy…! But I already have Mars…!

No, stop, don’t look at me… With that cool face…!

We can’t be together…!

We’ll be… Friends forever…!”

This sort of thing happens.

A younger shota type becoming a handsome man that makes someone’s heart throb.

Shota x big sister is something that’s cursed to disappear, but leads the way to the divine development that is handsome guy x big sister.

The big sister must take the advantage at an early age. That’s also taught in the big sister x shota academy.

“You really do always stay on course. It’s impressive really.”

“I keep a cupid in my head.”

“Does it have black wings?”

Mars is so bitter.

We go to the guildmaster’s mansion to see Loyd, but it turns out he went to the Kokkoro Mine.

Umumu, we missed each other.

And the Kokkoro Mine is kind of far from here. It would take about four hours to get there by horse.

We should just wait in Minerva, but we might as well go to the Kokkoro area and surprise him there.

We’re free tomorrow anyway.

“What should we talk about when we see sensei again?”

“Anything really. I have a mountain of things to say, but I’ll start by congratulating him on the long trip.”

“That’s surprisingly normal for you.”

“It’s important to keep the balance. He’s a new friend, after all.”

“You can say some nice things. I’m impressed.”

Have I been that bad lately… I’m a little shocked.

Leaving that aside, I need to hear all about Loyd’s lovey-dovey events with Iris to absorb the shipper nutrients.

As for Ruby… I probably shouldn’t touch that, but it will be hard.

I don’t think Loyd will like it, but how are things between them?

I guess the fact that he came back to Minerva means nothing happened.

Oh well. It’s the era of Iris x Loyd.

‘There’s no charm in the overly perfect’ Said the first prince before breaking up his engagement to the false saintess and exiling her. But she met a kind handsome marquis mage that’s only nice to her, tall, and has a high income. They fell in love at first sight, and led a leisure filled life in a mansion. Even if he told her to go back, she would tell him ‘I’m happy now, so don’t mind me, because I won’t return to my former country.’

That’s a book title right there.

Kukuku, I’ve actually been writing a delusion light novel in secret.

Even Mars doesn’t know.

“Eh? You’ve been writing a book…?”

Mars looks at me, dumbfounded.

“H-how did you read my mind!?”

“I didn’t, you just clearly said it. And who’s that handsome marquis mage that’s only nice to someone, tall, and has a high income? I got startled when you started talking about someone I don’t know all of a sudden.

That reason to exile her is already crazy, but your image of an ideal man is insane…”

Gununu, just saying whatever we want, are we?

It’s not like it’s for other people to read, it’s just for my own amusement.

“Mars, this is a delusion light novel. No woman would push those horrible ideas of an ideal man in real life.”

“I guess you’re right.”

And even if there was a man like that, I pick Mars.

Then we borrow two horses, and leave Minerva.

Sure enough, it takes us about four hours to get to the village at the foot of the mountain.

We hear that Loyd left here about two hours ago,so we quickly give chase.

We’ve been to the Kokkoro area many times, so we already know our way. And I remember that goblins, dire wolves, and harpies appear here.

Dire wolves are typically not a problem if you’re careful.

We advance through the Kokkoro area quickly to catch up with Loyd, but as soon as we reach the mountain road, something feels off.

“There are a lot of monster corpses.”

“Yes.”

There’s rubble all over, and monster corpses here and there.

It’s like something scary took them out in one hit. And in textbook fashion, with their weak point, lightning.

I’m a mid rank mage too, so I’m confident in my magic skills, but I couldn’t keep my head cool like this person did.

“L-look over there. It’s a wyvern corpse.”

Mars says with a trembling voice.

Wyverns are vicious, and very dangerous.

Normally, it would take a raid of about twenty A ranked adventurers to take one down.

I didn’t expect to find a wyvern, but I guess the same person took it down.

“It is. Just who did this?”

We think in front of the wyvern, and find Loyd coming down the mountain.

“Oh? Why are you two here?”

Loyd doesn’t react to the wyvern.

Normally, people should be at least a little surprised. If someone reacts like this…

“W-wait, did you take the wyvern down on your own?”

“Eh? Ah, yes. It attacked me all of a sudden.

I was just about to retrieve its materials.”

He says with a casual nod.

That’s all you have to say after taking a wyvern down!? Solo!?

I’m repeating myself, but it takes twenty A ranked adventurers to take this down.

Did he also dispatch all those monsters we saw on the way here? I’m sure he did.

We don’t know any mages stronger than Loyd. He really is a true master rank.
