The Absolute Twin Magician

Lia Oxvana's

"please help me!"

His voice was loud but not so loud echoed in all directions. It wasn't so loud that it made people outside the alley hear it, but it was enough to make me believe that he was really desperate. It seemed like this girl was completely unfamiliar with magic tricks like traps and such, thus making her unable to do anything when exposed to those traps.

Actually, such a trap is no big deal while you figure out how to get away from it. But for the citizens of the kingdom who had just allowed the use of magic in his kingdom, it was natural for him to panic.

He can be a great source of information for me. But before that, I'd better help her right away. Although there is no need to rush.

"You hear that, adventurer? He asked me for help. So there's no harm if I beat you up and help him?" I relax.

"You ... You don't look like a normal kid, but don't be so cocky!!"

Oh, he knows that I'm not an ordinary person?

"Laser Beam."

After the man's words were finished, I immediately fired a few magic bullets using the Laser Beam magic that was my mainstay in long-range combat.

Laser Beam itself is one of the long-range magic that is at the lowest level. That magic is a low-level magic that can be used by anyone. Whether he is talented or not, he can at least use it.

But in my hands, that low-level magic can turn into a fairly deadly weapon. At least for these kero.

"Magic?!"

As if he had only seen the magic user for the first time, the man dodged very carefully. It seems like witches are still very rare in this kingdom.

As an old man who is quite large, his movements are quite agile. He could have avoided almost all of my attacks. But I still haven't been serious about it.

To defeat them, actually Laser Beam alone is enough, because I do not want to use Transmutation and scare them. But if this is the case, it's not fun at all.

Therefore, I decided to go downstairs and fight directly with the three of them. It's time to try out the armed abilities I trained in yesterday's vampire tragedy.

"Well, it seems like fighting from afar is very boring. Therefore, let's fight here," I said. And with Magic Space, I took out a long sword made of the best material, Orihalcum.

"Huh, a magician challenged in a melee fight? You seem to be overconfident, huh?!"

"Yes, I do believe in my abilities. That wasn't fun at all anyway."

"Huh?! You underestimated me, didn't you?!"

"We attack together!"

"Dead you!"

The three men immediately charged forward right after my sword came out. For a street delinquent, they are quite compact. But still inexperienced.

"Instead, you're underestimating me too much."

With a lightning-fast twisting motion, I resisted all the attacks they launched. But the big man's attack managed to make me hit back. His weapon which was a Great Sword or a great sword was quite annoying.

Attacking while defending, that was how Great Sword users fought. With the shape of a large sword, the attack speed is so low that it can make it hit by attacks if attacked continuously. Therefore, he made use of the large size of his weapon to turn his own weapon into a shield. Plus two other keroco people who attack continuously, this is quite troublesome. The big man served as a tank, and the rest attacked. As a small bandit group, their coordination was pretty good.

"It seems that using a sword is not suitable against you. Too bad, even though I want to test the strength of my sword," I said. At the same time, I used the Magic Space back and changed my weapon. "Well, now I will change profession from a swordsman to an Angel of Death!"

A large scythe I took out. I very rarely used it because this thing is more suitable to be used against monsters. But right now, fighting them using a scythe was quite interesting.

"S-sat?!"

"Shocked huh?"

Not giving it a chance to be shocked, I immediately darted forward and launched my first impromptu attack. Using the blunt end of the scythe, I hit them with all my might. Ahasil, the three men were thrown into the wall with a loud bang. I deliberately didn't use the sickle blade part because it could kill them. I don't know what the law is here, so I don't want to cause any trouble. But who would have thought they would pass out with just the blunt end of the scythe. Are they really this weak??

This fight only lasted for a few minutes. I don't even sweat at all. Well let's just say it's a morning warm-up to stretch my muscles.

Then, what should I do with them?

"The source of the sound is from there!!"

I heard a noise from outside the alley. And the voice was pointing to our place.

"That's guards! We survived!"

Ah, that girl is still here, and again she still can't move. Usually I'll leave her alone and go away. But I still have business with him. I don't want to deal with the guards either.

"Sorry, but I'll take you away" I said.

"Eh?ah, wait a minute, the guard has come—"

"Who cares?"

"Wait a minute!!"

I immediately carried her slender body and immediately left the scene. Moments after, the guards came and found the place contained only three unconscious men, wondering who had done this to them. Meanwhile I went away to a quiet place while carrying this paralyze-affected girl.

"Wait first! I thank you for saving me, but why did you leave that place?! And again why take me?!" While on the way, the girl continued to thrash even though she could not move.

"Whispering, I just don't like that kind of commotion. If I stay there, they'll definitely ask me a lot of things, and it's troublesome."

"Then why are you taking me?!"

"Well I need to be with you."

"Is it possible that you're also after my body?!"

Flying by relying on a huge leap reinforced with magic, this girl and I stopped on top of an empty building. And apparently, this empty building is completely uninhabited, so it's safe if we go inside it?

"Does anyone have this house?" My toot.

"Y-yeah ... Formerly. Now this house is just an uninhabited building."

"You know a lot yeah ...."

"Of course, I'm a— anyway

"We're in."

"Eh?!"

I took him into that empty house. It's a bit disrespectful because we came in from the upstairs window, but since it's an empty house, it doesn't matter?

Incidentally there is a used sofa. Although it was a little dusty, it could still be used. I immediately laid the girl's body on it. Instead of laying it on the floor, it is more comfortable even though it is dusty. And again it takes time for the paralyze effect to disappear.

"Annu ... How long can I not move like this??"

"About half an hour."

"S-during that? Besides, why would you know something like that? And again you can use magic too. Are you a witch from outside the kingdom?"

"Can we start the conversation with an introduction first? Were the people in this kingdom always like this?"

"A-ah, that's because I'm surprised and astonished, it doesn't mean that everyone here doesn't have manners!" The reply was still lying on the sofa. "My name is Lia Oxvana. Daughter of the Knight family Oxvana kingdom of Voracity ...."

The daughter of the Knight family? So he's a noble? Why do I always deal with noble princesses anyway?

" ... And the Imperial Paladin's middle-level knights."

"Oh that's enough to menge—

As soon as I regained my senses, this girl is one of the knights of the Imperial Paladin?! I accidentally came into direct contact with a group I shouldn't have met?!!

"I-imperial Paladin did you say?!" I was a little surprised. But as much as I can control my emotions. "A girl like you is a famous Imperial Paladin knight?"

"Why? What's weird about that if there's a female knight? Just so you know the Glorious General ruler of arrows and spears is a woman."

Oh, that's valuable information.

"It's not like that, it's just that you look younger than me" I said.

"really? Do I look that young? If I guess we're the same age."

"really?" I said, "I'm 18."

"ah, it turns out we're the same age!"

that surprised me.

"Moreover ..." and for some reason now he was staring intently at me. " ... I've introduced myself, then why haven't you introduced yourself yet? You're not from this kingdom, are you?"

Ah, I forgot about that. Looks like I should use a fake identity huh.

"I'm Zayn. As you saw earlier, I'm a magician who can also use weapons. I'm just an adventurer who's not bound by any rules. And I come from the kingdom of the Bluelagoon."

Well, then what was his response after meeting an outsider?

"Bluelagoon?! You mean the government famous for its schools and talented students?!"

"Bec-yes ... That's not wrong."

"Great! I never thought I could meet such a highly educated person from the kingdom!"

Eh? Highly educated? People like me? Shit, I want to laugh. Besides, why was he so enthusiastic when he heard the name Bluelagoon?

"Why do you look so happy?"

"Yes, you know, the Imperial Knight Paladin is required to enshrine himself into the kingdom we never left this kingdom. And never given permission for that. But I'm still curious about the country outside the kingdom. I even read books about the history of the Fitzgerald continent and the kingdoms it contains. And that's why I'm interested in them. But because we've always been in the kingdom, we've never met an outsider" he said. "But now that I've met you, it's really lucky!"

It seems this girl is the type of girl who is passionate and chatty. He even easily talked about things about the Imperial Paladin to people he just knew like me.

Apparently, it can be a very valuable source of my information.

"Hey hey, can you tell me about the kingdom?" Her request.

I haven't even told him what I need, but he asked me first. Truly a feisty and also chatty girl.

But it doesn't matter as long as it's still useful.

"It goes against my business with you, but fine."

"Thank you!!"

Then, I also told him what can be told while waiting for the end of the paralyze effect.

For the first day of the investigation, this was quite a satisfactory result.
