Chapter 107

"Thank you for helping me and saving me from those thugs, Lord Ludger!" The woman thanked Ludger with a passionate gaze and a red face.

"I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier and make them hurt you. I'm glad the potion was able to heal it without leaving any scar on your beautiful skin." Ludger replies and looks at her neck with a relieved expression and smiles at her.

"KYAA!!! How dreamy!" Both the woman and the young lady with a mage outfit squeal.

"Thank you for reporting to us about them, Sir Ludger. We have been trying to capture this group of thugs from disturbing the peace in this city lately." One of the city guards said.

"Hmm, are you a noble or a knight from the Western territory? Is what you do to throw that thug is something you learn from here? Can you tell me the person you are learning from?" The young man with the knight outfit asks with an interest tone.

"Stop it, Rain! I'm sorry for the inconvenience. My friend seems to be interested in your technique. And thank you for helping us." The young man with a priest outfit said as he bowed his head to show his gratitude to Ludger.

Babump.

"Ah! Please stop that! I'm just a normal twelve-year-old boy who often helps in a restaurant. From your attire, are the three of you from noble families? It was too conspicuous for most people in this city because it shows how precious are the materials of your attire. are I'm sorry but I forgot that I have some important things to do. See you next time." Ludger politely advised them and ran away.

"Wait! Where could you find you to thank you?" The young man with a priest outfit shouted but Ludger already disappeared from the alleyway.

Ludger quickly ran to the adventurer guild to avoid the three young nobles that he just met. For some reason, he guesses that her heart feels hurt because of the dream that he saw last night about the 'Renneshia' from the game memory. From how they dress themselves and how they act, Ludger is sure that they are Prince Edmund's best friend who died in the accident in Labyrinth City.

'They should die when 'Renneshia' meets with Prince Edmund for the first time. So it was when they were ten years old. Although I add two years to my age as 'Ludger', but I'm actually ten years old like them. Hmm, so the accident will happen soon. From the dream last night it seems to be between the end of spring and the start of summer. What can I do to help them?' Ludger thinks as he runs to the adventurer guild.

When he arrived, he quickly went to the third training ground. Inside the arena, Ludger saw Elviira standing in the middle of the arena while the sunlight seemed to make her as the spotlight in this training arena. Her blonde hair seems to change into gold as it shines beautifully under the sunlight. Her elf blood seems to make her appearance more mesmerizing than usual.

"Oh, finally you arrive, Lord Ludger!" Alvera greeted him and pulled him to go closer to Elviira.

"Please don't call me like that, Sister Alvera. It was too embarrassing and made the people who came to this city think that I was some noble descendant who was being trained to live as a commoner to be a good Lord in the future. It was something that I accidentally heard. I feel it will cause trouble to the others in Red Dawn Restaurant." Ludger said in a small voice with a worried expression.

"Fufu, how about adding the story and turning it to Duke Kadaklan's illegitimate child? He really loves your mother, right? If he married her, wouldn't it come true?" Alvera said with a mischievous smile.

"Stop it. Their relationship is dependent on my mother's decision. Even I as her child, I don't know what kind of decision she will choose." Ludger stops her from gossiping about his mother's relationship and ignores her before turning his focus to the direction of Elviira.

As if she could feel Ludger's arrival, Elviira slowly opened her eyes. Her golden eyes seemed to be shining brighter than usual as she saw Ludger's appearance. When saw Elviira's appearance, Ludger suddenly remembered the appearance of the young man with a priest outfit that he just met before. Ludger tries to guess his family from the knowledge that he had from reading about it when he still lived in that hell-like place.

'It was a rare characteristic that only two families fit with his appearance. But it was hard for me to decide about his background like that. There is also the possibility that he was someone from the temple.' Ludger couldn't help but think about it as if it was something that bugging him.

"...ger...Lord Ludger, are you okay?" Alvera shook his shoulder with a worried expression.

"Are you alright?" Elviira also looks at him with a similar expression while tilting her head.

"Hmm! Don't worry about me, I might be too tired lately because the designated request that came to me has increased lately. Mostly from the small guilds in this city or some people with unique jobs. And more people are calling me as Lord Ludger lately causing me to feel more tired mentally." Ludger said with a tired expression and awkwardly scratched his head.

"You don't like it?" Elviira asked with a confused expression if as it was something unexpected. 

"...It's not because I hate it but because it might cause trouble to the others in Red Dawn. I know that everyone calls me like that because I was similar to Lord Louheithi's character in that famous story written by Sir Nero, right?" Ludger tries to express his true feelings to the twin sisters.

"Don't worry, Big Sister will protect you and your family!" Elviira proudly said as she patted his head.

"Thank you Sister Elviira, but I don't want you to get hurt because you are helping me. I will feel really sad if something happens to you and I might be unable to forgive myself." Ludger said with the saddest expression he could put on his face.

"I would feel the same if something happened to you." Elviira said while hugging Ludger.

"Hey guys! Do you forget about my existence? Why do you keep ignoring me as if I don't exist?" Alvera said with anger and annoyance in her tone.

"So, why do you call me today? Is it related to the magic that you just cast?" Ludger continues to ignore Alvera and asks his question to Elviira. 

"I'm trying about what you told me before. But I can't do it perfectly like your theory. Can you tell me what I need to complete it?" Elviira explained her trouble with the new magic she was creating.

"Hmm, from what I saw before, Sister Elviira seemed to concentrate the light on yourself to make you able to hide your appearance, right? It was one way to do it but I rather ask you to do the opposite and block the light from touching your body and bend them to the surroundings. It will have a wider area for you to move around." Ludger explained in a simple concept as he feels a bit of trouble when he wants to explain it with a scientific explanation. 

As there is no study about science in this world, the concept of science becomes something that might make him as a heretic in this world. And because he lacked the items to prove his theories, Ludger decided to make a simple explanation with something that Elviira might instinctively understand. Well, it was only possible because Elviira could accept Ludger's explanation easily because she has a good instinct and talent for magic.

"Unn, I will try it. Oh light please hide me from the other sight. Avoid my body and hide my appearance. Conceal." Elviira nodded and started to chant.

As Elviira finished her chants, her appearance gradually got thinner before she perfectly disappeared from their sight. However, the camouflage could be sensed by the people who are sensitive to the magic fluctuations around the caster like what happened to Ludger when he got discovered by the young lady with a mage outfit and the young man with a priest outfit before. That was the same as Ludger and Alvera still able to sense Elviira's location right now.

"Wow, Viira, it was successful! I can't see you but I still am able to feel your magic. It might be useful to trick someone with low magic sensitivity." Alvera said as she wanted to try it for some mischief.

"So I won't be able to surprise you?!" Elviira said with a disappointed tone.

"You want to give me a surprise? I hope you won't do that because I don't know if what I will do when I am surprised. I have said before that I will feel extremely guilty if I reflexively do something to you, Sister Elviira." Ludger said as if he was pleading with her.

"Alright, I won't do it. But this magic could trick others when we use it to hide some item, right? The enemies might have a hard time finding the real and fake caster if we are able to do it." Elviira said as she seemed to have grasped the concept of this magic.

"That seems to be possible to do it but we will need to have a large magic power to keep the spells. It might become a life-saving spell if we are able to decrease the magic power consumption. How long and how much will you be able to use, Sister Elviira?" Ludger nodded his head and asked.

"...To hide myself, I spent around ten percent of my total magic power. If we need to let around another ten percent to prevent us from fainting, that means I could use it eight times. But it will reduce the activation time." Elviira said after thinking carefully about it. 

Both of them continued their conversation until someone disturbed them as he slammed the door open.
