Chapter 70: Meet with Ur\'s Master, Delight Sinatra ②

Translated by AmaLynne

「H-Hey, Sam-kun.」

「Yes?」

Sam was happy to be able to fight Ur’s master, and Fran spoke to him with a mixture of confusion and joy.

「You’re amazing. I wonder what kind of magic you used.」

「Um… what do you mean?」

「My father hadn’t used magic for years. I thought he had lost his passion for magic a long time ago, and now he wants to fight you, and… I can’t believe he’s even sober.」

Apparently, Fran never dreamed that her drunken father would try to fight Sam.

「I wonder if he saw something in Sam-kun that Ur-sama left behind? But thank you. I’ve never heard my father speak so clearly.」

Then Fran bursts into tears.

Sam shook his head.

「I’m sure Delight-sama never lost his passion for magic.」

「Is that, so?.」

「I kind of get it. He may have fallen behind, but he still couldn’t give up the magic. That’s why he left the magic book opens like this.」

「―――!!」

When Sam first entered this room, he was surprised not only by the smell of alcohol, but also by the number of magic books that filled the room.

There were traces of having been read.

Some of the books were soiled by hand that they seemed to have been turned over and over again.

A person who has lost his passion for magic would never bother to read magic books.

We could assume that Delight had not yet given up on magic.

In fact, he felt no decline in his magical power.

He even offered to take Sam on himself to see what he could do.

No man would say such a thing if he had abandoned magic to run away with alcohol.

「If he had really abandoned magic, he wouldn’t want to be in this room full of magic books. Surely Delight-sama would not want to be in a place where Fran-sama was not looking―――」

「Reading a magic book?」

「My guess is that maybe he was trying to beat Albert.」

「―――Oh, yes, you did, Father. You hadn’t given up your magic yet. Thank God.」

Fran burst into tears.

She held on to the hope that her father might be able to get back on his feet, and something in her tension seemed to loosen.

Sam held out a handkerchief to her a little awkwardly.

「Fufu, Thank you.」

「No.」

She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief and smiled.

Not wanting to see a woman cry, Sam was relieved that Fran had calmed down.

That was when it happened.

―――Don, don, don!

The door of the mansion was pounded unceremoniously.

「Who is it? I wasn’t expecting anyone but Sam-kun today.」

Returning the handkerchief to Sam, Fran left the room to see who was still knocking.

Sam followed her.

In case they are suspicious, we don’t want them here.

As they approached the front door, they heard a man yelling.

「Hey! You keep me waiting! Who the hell do you think I am?」

It was a grating, angry voice.

(―――Who’s that?)

Sam is offended by people who come to someone’s mansion and yell at them.

Even though this mansion is located on the outskirts of Royal Capital, it is still a nuisance.

He thought it was none of his business, but when Sam decided to complain, he asked for Fran.

「Fran-sama?」

She paled and stiffened.

「Fran-sama? Don’t tell me you know him?」

「……yeah, that’s the last person I want to see right now.」

「Who is it? Hmm? The person you least want to meet is―――ah, no way?」

「Yes, that no way.」

While talking with Fran, Sam kept hearing obnoxious voices yelling from the other side of the door.

「It’s me! The most powerful wizard in the land! Albert Frege-sama.」

The identity of the uninvited guest was revealed when he identified himself as Albert Frege.

The wizard who reigned supreme in the Sky Kingdom had appeared to the Sinatra family.
