She Professed Herself The Pupil of The Wisemen

V1 ch17

The first morning in the Arkite Castle's bedroom. Still dozing off in dreams, Mira was forcibly woken up by strong knocking on the door.

"Nhh..."

After taking a look around, she saw an unfamiliar luxurious room. Oh right, thought Mira and grasped the situation. Meanwhile, the sound coming from the door continued so she stood up and opened the door to check what is happening.

"Ah, good morning, Mira-sama."

Because of how sudden the door opened and because Mira's clothes were disordered, the guard at the door was dumbfounded for a moment. However, he immediately got a grip on himself.

"I was instructed by Solomon-sama to bring you immediately. It is an urgent matter."

The guard who relayed this had his breath out of order and furthermore, not only the guard but the entire corridor appeared busy with people running all over.

"Mm-hm, I'll go right away."

Seeing that, Mira realized that it was something important enough to call her.

"Um, it would be prudent to adjust your clothing..."

When Mira nodded and tried to leave the bedroom, the guard warned her with reserve. The one piece dress she was wore before sleeping had largely slipped off, exposing her skin down to clavicles.

"Mm-hm, looks like it."

Told so, Mira confirmed her own state and after quickly fixing it, she proceeded towards Solomon's office.

"Have Spell-Clad Knights' second and third platoons head Southwest. Split some of Spell-Clad Spellcasters and send them Southeast. I leave composition to you."

Everywhere in the castle was busy. After Solomon's voice could be heard from the wide-open office's door, a lively response could be heard and an officer who received orders has ran off. Mira entered the office as she saw him off.

Inside, Solomon leaned on the desk completely exhausted.

"It's really noisy, what's happening?"

When Mira called out to him, Solomon raised his head vigorously.

"Good morning, and it's emergency!"

Speaking right away, Solomon poked strongly at the map on top of the desk.

"I can tell that's the case. So, what emergency is it?"

Solomon who normally wasn't easily agitated, was in a real hurry now. Rather than about the situation, Mira was curious about his state.

"This morning, there was a report that three hundred monsters appeared."

While saying so, Solomon pointed with his finger at an area East of Lunatic Lake. It was not very far, but also not a reason to panic and turn the castle around, so Mira was puzzled.

"This happening three days in a row is enigmatic, but not a reason to make a racket like thi——"

Mira started to say, but Solomon pointed at different location next.

"Fifteen minutes later, another herd of three hundred appeared here."

"What...?"

She did not remember herds ever appearing simultaneously, and even to Solomon who lived thirty years in this world, this was a first time. But it did not end with that. Solomon moved again showing two more places.

"Territories here and here were invaded. They are herds of two and eight hundred.

And after saying this, Solomon leaked a sigh and moved his finger again.
