Ten. Protection of Ulysses

Ten. Protection of Ulysses

　After putting up a barrier in the empty classroom and blocking contact with the outside world, Rafael nodded without hesitation.
　
"Ulysse-chan? Yes, it's about threefold under the protection of [Charm]. There's a large magic stone in the room. The person himself seems to think it's just a talisman, but that's the magical power source of the protection."
　
　I hurriedly closed my mouth that was about to open. When I looked behind him, Harold had his usual expressionless face, but I could feel his displeasure towards Raphael from the air.
　No matter how far you go, you can't beat them.
　
"Did you enter Miss Ulysse's room?"
　
　In place of Harold... or rather, I would say something that I was not sure about.
　Raphael shrugged and shook his head.
　
“I was allowed to go out to play on the weekend. Ulysse-chan invited me to the room, so I didn’t push my ulterior motives.”
"Was there an ulterior motive?"
"Well, you're going to the girl's house."
"I mean, what is that soft way of calling you?"
"It's an exotic title. It sounds cute, doesn't it?"
　
　As expected, Nozomi likes women. When she asked for an investigation and gave permission to approach Miss Ulysse, she came up to the house.
　Raphael, who is smiling, has no venom, but this is the result of the investigation because it is both a hobby and a practical profit. It was a way of gathering information that Harold could never do.
　
“So, you said there was a magic stone…?
　
　There are several types of blessings, but some of them are treated as forbidden spells because their effects are too strong. A divine protection that can even manipulate a person's heart can no longer be called simply as a divine protection, and will become a curse. 《Charm》 is the first-class forbidden spell among them.
　When I grabbed my head and returned to the subject, the eccentric sorcerer's son rubbed his fingertips and became enchanted.
　
"Yes, it's so big that it doesn't fit in one hand, it's smooth and round and glossy.magic crystalcrystalIn addition, it is the protection of 《Charm》……♡」
"If it's such a big crystal, it won't remain in people's memories."
"Maybe we can track the buyer."
"Really, you guys can only make such rude associations? Not to mention the people who got it, who carved the magic circle and who cast the spell... just imagining it makes me excited."
"Okay, let's investigate the processors and wizards too."
　
　"I don't understand" was written all over his face, but Raphael was silent. For the time being, this is a request from me, and I know that it's a background check on Miss Ulysse.
　Seeing him kicking the ground while fiddling with purple hair and pouting his lips... I feel like Miss Ulysse would never think that this guy was a sinner, and would let his guard down. In reality, she's the most scared of these guys who pretend like they're not thinking about anything.
　
“With the effect of [Charm], the people around her become obsessed with her. Especially those who have curiosity and affection for Ulysse-chan because of that novel, it’s a big deal. It is quite a learning experience to bring about such a synergistic effect on
"Does it have a stronger effect when touched?"
"Of course! The closer the target is, the more places and times it touches, the stronger the <Charm> will work."
　
　Raphael gives a thumbs up and winks.
　The more you hear about it, the more frightening it is. No wonder it's a first-class forbidden spell.
　
"What about women?"
　
　Since she's my fiancée, Elizabeth has 《Evil Revenge》 on her, but the other daughters naturally don't. It would be a problem if, like Edward, or Luke, who hadn't seen it, was overwhelmed by Miss Ulysses.
　Thinking that, when I asked, Rafael gently averted his gaze.
　Unusually for this man, he had a shy look on his face.
　
"Of course, it would be effective for women who like 'Otsusei' who don't have much to do with themselves."
　
　Slightly crispy. I thought he knew what I wanted to ask, but Raphael embarrassedly scratched his cheek.
　
“Well, how should I put it, Ulysse-chan doesn’t seem to be liked by your fiancée’s friends…”
"If you don't like it, the divine protection won't work."
"Or rather, it's counterproductive if it works just a little, and it's repelled and hated even more."
"I see"
　
　I looked at Harold standing behind me, thinking that I remember that reaction. Harold stared straight ahead with a face that had nothing to do with him. It seems that the trauma has been overcome. Although he reported that he ruined one pillow.
　
“Why don’t you have Rafael cast 《Evil Revenge》 on you as well. Although the power is weak, it might be able to compete with Miss Ulysse.”
"That's right, I wonder if I can cast 《Evil Revenge》 that specializes only in the protection of 《Charm》.”
　
　Without waiting for Harold's reply, Raphael began chanting a spell. There is no way I can say no because it is my role to serve by my side and be a shield for Miss Ulysse like the other day.
　Raphael put his palms together while muttering like he was singing a long spell. Light leaked out from the gap, enveloping Harold. It was a scene familiar to both me, who regularly reapplied 《Evil Revenge》, and Harold, who was accompanying him.
　Taking a step forward, Harold bowed his head toward Raphael. He put his hand over his head, low and whispering.
　
"--This person has the power to destroy demons.
　
　Rafael relaxed his expression as soon as the light suddenly disappeared. Harold didn't change anything, but it should have been cast because the magic was properly activated.
　Harold took a deep breath and pulled back behind me.
　
“It must have been hard work. Let’s seek the cooperation of Domenic-dono for the acquisition route and the identification of the processor.
　
　I sorted out the information again and thanked him while thinking that it had become complicated.
　Marquis Domenique Marshall is Raphael's father. My master and the top magic-related person in the royal palace. If there is a suspicious movement of the magic stone, I have to keep it in my ears.
　I guess I'll have to explain the situation to my father too... Honestly, I don't want to see my father or mother much if possible.
　Raphael shook his head as I raised my eyebrows in anticipation of the time of trial that would surely come.
　
"Isn't the story over yet?"
"what"
"I wasn't the only one who went to Ulysse's house. Edward was there too."
"teeth?"
“Next time, Luke-sama will also be invited.
"Haaaaaaaaaaa???"
"As soon as Edward saw my face, sparks fluttered and he said, 'Why are you here!?'"
　
　Neither I nor Harold had the time to respond to Raphael, who chuckled and said, "It's good for both of you."
　Come to think of it, a fragment of a string of characters faintly crossed my mind as I refused to think that there might have been a scene like that in Otsusei.
