Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 52: A Heart Heavy Report

This chapters first half is in Grimharts POV, while the latter half is in Audreys POV.

Heres the report for this times investigation. And~ This heres the report for the other Request~

Audrey and I visited the Guild Masters office to give our report on the Sacred Mountains investigation. Originally, since this was a joint effort of the three parties, Lily, the leader of the Little Fairies, is supposed to be here with us, but considering that we also undertook the request to investigate her, that would be pretty bad.

Fortunately, doesnt really sound right but, she collapsed from overusing her MP during the investigation. Using that as an excuse, we told her to rest up and leave the reporting to the two of us.

Good work. First of all, let me hear about your findings on the sacred mountain. Weve confirmed the existence of a Roper. The full details are on the written report, but we think that the Roper was probably a higher class or maybe even a unique specimen. A unique specimen, you say? Yeah, according to Bia from Fyne, it could gather Mana in the atmosphere and has the ability to regenerate. Regeneration is still fine, but it would have been disastrous if it used the Mana around it to grow. Hmmm

Just them being Ropers already make it considerably dangerous, but looking at the past records and documents, it would seem that a regular Roper didnt have that level of regeneration. Moreover, most of them were easily taken down with fire attribute spells like Burn and Fire. The fact that Magic on the class of Lilys Corona Burn wasnt able to completely destroy it was frankly absurd.

At worst, I would have been killed, Audrey and the others would be used as seedbeds and the new Ropers wouldve probably descended to Motsi town. If three of twelve sages are sent to deal with it, it probably wont reach the level of a national crisis but this town would most likely be erased from the map.

Weve brought the bodies with us. Weve also brought the eggshells written on the report, so well be entrusting the investigation of those to the Guild. Right, leave it to us. Still, eggs, huh Is there a problem? No, its nothing, probably just my imagination. Is that so?

If the Guild Master says so, then its probably for the best that I dont ask. The Guild Master always tells us everything that we need to know. We already have that trust-based relationship.

If I forcibly try to get him to talk, Ill only risk bringing in unnecessary trouble. A lot of adventurers get into unavoidable trouble just from knowing more than they needed. Having experienced it first-hand, the Guild Master is just trying to protect us. Frankly, he also helped us a lot in our more mischievous days, so we dont want to trouble him more.

Well then, how about the other one? For this~ its just as you guessed~

The other Request. For the investigation on Lily, I decided to leave it all to Audrey. In the first place, Lily saved our lives, so we dont really want to make a report that would possibly put her at a disadvantage. Besides, rather than us who have never encountered real Magic, Audrey and the others from Fyne, having learned Magecraft and experienced Magic at the academy, would probably be able to turn in a more proper report.

Lily~ isnt really a Mage~ shes actually a Sorcerer~ I see she really was

I have given the Guild Master a decisive report that I never wanted to do. For the sake of Lily and Uranias peace, it was something that we wanted to keep a secret. However, if we stay silent here, the Guild Master would only get into trouble.

Magic is extremely powerful, even just a single Sorcerer could disturb the existing power balance. Thats why its not only this Kingdom, but even the Empire and the Three Eastern Kingdoms register and manage their Sorcerers. Naturally, since the common folk have no knowledge of this, there would be no penalty even if they were undeclared.

However, its different for the Guild Master and the nobles. And as Im also a relative of a sage, Im obligated to report the discovery of a Sorcerer. Naturally, the Guild Master is too. Between the honest junior that I just met and the Guild Master that Im indebted to, its obvious which side Ill take.

In about a week, the academys messenger would probably arrive to enroll Lily in the academy. In the Kingdom, Sorcerers are obligated to go to the academy to learn the proper use and knowledge of Magic to prevent its abuse and misuse. Fifteen years old is young for a Sorcerer, so it probably wont cause any problems.

With her strength, she probably wont get disheartened even if she mingles with the genuine ones, but that academys true darkness doesnt come from students, but from the teachers and the guardians, the adults. As the Sorcerers are capable of destroying the existing power balance, this means that every group and factions are scrambling for more Sorcerers.

If its a noble-born Sorcerer, then theres no issue at all. And for the children of wealthy merchants and well-known families, theyre most likely already within a faction, so its not really that much of a problem. But for the common folk, its different. Especially for those who have unclear origins like Lily.

Its most likely that, from day one, every single faction would be scrambling for her. And when they discover her true strength, theres no doubt that the bigger factions would start scheming behind the curtains, just for her power. Still, its unlikely that they do something so stupidly fruitless as taking her life; but even so, there are still some that would probably go as far as turning her into a mindless doll.

Master. What? Would you allow me to talk to Lily?

At the very least, I dont want her to be involved in some needless schemes at the academy, so I asked the Guild Master if I can take action. I myself am a failure with no right to call myself by my family name. Still, it doesnt change the fact that Im related to a Sage, and if I bring a new Sorcerer with me, everyone would probably welcome me gladly.

No, theres no need. But then-! Ive decided to have them go to Gateskeep to take the Rank-C Promotion Exam. And what does that have to ah!? Exactly.

Though I got enraged from the Guild Masters firm rejection, hearing this explanation, I understood. Certainly, if everything goes well, Lily would be able to gain a higher class supporter than I could hope for.

The Rank C Exam only lasts for five days but since theyre staying there, Im thinking of referring them to a request from Gateskeep. The request lasts for a month. Any objections? Nope~

Noticing the Guild Masters plan, I decided to abandon my own. It might be needed as a just in case, but even as a sub-plan it still has a lot of holes. Theres still a lot more I need to consider.

Same, no problem. In that case, lets leave it at that. No need to look so grumpy, Grim. If shes your savior, then that would make her the savior of my son. Ill make sure to treat her well. Im not really, worrying about that.

Grimhart met the Guild Master several months before we did. Both of us feel the same gratitude for him, but Ive never heard anything about this.

Grimhart is the kind of guy that greatly values gratitude, so hes undoubtedly worried about Lilys future environment. For his sake too, I pray everything would work out peacefully.
