Leave Aperu's room.
Miko brought Hulim to a villa in the royal city.
"Hulim, you can stay here for the time being. If you need anything, just tell the guards."
"Okay, thank you, Miko."
"You're welcome! Besides that, what exactly is it that Hulim wants to investigate?"
"Um... ..."
Hulim thought about it and told Miko the whole story...
“Ah! Is it really such an important matter?!”
“It’s not that important…”
"No, no, no! This is very important, right? This is the power inherited from our ancestors, how can we let it be lost!"
"No, it just might be there."
"That's true, but it's very likely, isn't it?"
"Since the possibility is so great, we can't give up trying!"
“But it’s hard to get in now.”
"Hmm..."
Miko scratched his head.
"Ah—wouldn't it be fine if I just used a magic item that's still effective?"
Hulim thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's certainly possible. There should be some advanced magical items that can protect willpower and resist curses, but..."
"That kind of high-level props are hard to get."
"What does it matter~? I can ask my father for one!"
"No."
Hulim shook his head.
"I don't have anything that can be exchanged for that kind of high-level magic item."
"It's okay, it's just a magic item. Just think of it as a loan to you. We have plenty of them at home anyway!"
"Lend it to me? Is that okay?"
"Alright, no need to be polite with me! Let's go find father and explain--!"
After saying that, Miko rushed to the audience room with Hulim.
When he arrived at the audience room, unlike the previous time when he carelessly barged into Aperu's room, Miko was much more honest this time. He even adjusted his clothes at the door, then carefully opened the door a crack and stuck his head in.
"Um, Father..."
In the audience room, Bals was busy working on documents.
Hearing the sound, he looked up.
"What are you sneaking around for? If you want to come in, just come in! Weren't you wandering around everywhere not long ago?!"
"I'm not trespassing..."
Miko muttered softly, then carefully opened the door and squeezed in.
"Do you think I can't hear you?"
"Eh?! Did you hear that? Ah—no, I didn't say anything!"
Miko quickly covered her mouth.
“… …”
And Bals just looked at her silently and very "kindly".
It was not until Hulim walked in that Bals turned his gaze to Hulim.
"You are Hulim Hyeral, right?"
"Yes, hello, Mr. Barrs!"
Hulim bowed politely.
"Well, hello. I guess my naughty daughter has caused you a lot of trouble in the academy?"
"No, Miko has never caused me any trouble. On the contrary, Miko has often helped me."
"Yeah, that's right. Hulim and I are partners who help each other! Please don't use that language like I'm a burden!"
Miko protested from the side.
However, Bars ignored her protests and instead looked at Hulim in disbelief.
"Really? You don't have to consider her face, just say it directly. With her personality, she won't be quiet. She must have caused some trouble in Langard, right?"
"Well... ..."
Hulim wanted to say that Miko had never gotten into any trouble, but suddenly she remembered that he had become a chivalrous thief shortly after arriving at the academy.
She seems to be quite active...
"Oh~, it seems something really happened!"
Bals's gaze instantly fell on Miko, with a hint of scrutiny in it, as if he was calculating how much compensation he had to pay for the losses.
"What? You're looking at me like that. I've never done anything bad!"
"You've never done anything bad?"
Bars stared at her with his eyes fixed.
“… …”
Mi Ke tilted his head, then raised his chin confidently and glared back.
"you--"
Balston was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
"Um...Mr. Barrs, can I have a word?"
"Miko did do some things in Langard, but they weren't bad things. It's more like because of Miko's actions, many people were helped, and many people are still grateful to her."
"...Is this true?"
Bars looked stunned.
He looked at Miko and then at Hulim.
"Are you sure you're talking about her and not someone else?"
"I can confirm that I saw this with my own eyes."
"Look, I told you I didn't do anything bad!"
Mi Ke put his hands on his hips angrily and spoke more confidently.
“… …”
Bars looked at her, hesitant to speak.
"Alright, even if I'm wrong this time... Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"ah--"
Only then did Mi Ke remember that he had come to ask him for something.
"Oh right! Father, I want to ask you for a magic item!"
"Magic item?"
Bars turned and looked at Hulim.
"I see. Is this what this little girl needs? You can just go to the treasury and get it yourself. No need to ask me."
