Volume 5 Chapter 4 [Under-Ops SIDE] Artia's Necklace Glows And Glitters
Right now, there are 4 members of the Order of the Sealed Dragon's Under-Ops team in Jewel City Lapis.
However, Velto, the headmaster of Sevenstar Academy, and Russma, who serves as Guilhem Redless's follower, were both removed from the operation's chain of command as soon as Horace's teacher experience ended.
Because of this, the person most often contacted from 'above' within Under-Ops is Ginji.
As for Artia, after Horace's teacher experience ended, she completed her transfer to Sevenstar Academy. Now, she works with Ginji, wearing simple town girl clothes she probably bought somewhere.
This is the current team situation, but there's one worrying issue.
It's about Artia, who wears a necklace that forcibly stabilizes her mental state. Ginji calls her 'Hysteribaba,' and her personality is undeniably difficult.
Currently, their base is a small café in Jewel City Lapis.
Since Ginji has subordinates, he leaves the café duties to them while he works under the name of the Order of the Sealed Dragon.
And, on the second floor of that café...
"What's happening with the personnel in the regular department?"
"Hey, Granny. I don't want to talk with that necklace flashing so brightly right in front of me."
"This can't be helped."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't imagine any of the past heroes, who are just resting on their laurels, standing against the Glasha family."
"And because they're doing such insane things, it's natural to feel angry."
"Exactly."
Artia picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.
Still, her necklace glowed brightly.
It's said to be a magic tool that forcibly stabilizes the mind, but it's clearly working at full power.
Rather, the Order of the Sealed Dragon itself uses part of the power of the 'God of Sealing Shildress,' so the technology Artia uses now is likely something similar created with that power.
Using an item made by the power of the gods to forcibly stabilize emotions... it's like sealing feelings, but if it doesn't work at full capacity, it can't stabilize her, which is strange.
It's no exaggeration to say the fuse is already lit.
So, Ginji, who has to keep this lit fuse close by, naturally looks bitter.
"But the real reason you're so angry is because that guy Ratis has a 'magic sword,' right?"
"Yeah, it's an important item in the history of the Order of the Sealed Dragon. Giving it to someone who can only swing a sword and can't read the room is just..."
"A revived magic sword, huh? I get giving it to someone good at swordsmanship, but its power is too strong. From a magic perspective, it's almost impossible to control, you know?"
There's nothing scarier than a weapon whose power can't be controlled.
"Plus, there's a chance it could go berserk if someone tries to use it. The regular division guys couldn't handle that."
"Then giving it to a swordsmanship specialist and treating it as just a good sword for cutting seems clean in a way."
In other words, since the material itself is top-notch, it's a way to focus on its physical qualities.
Giving up on control but using it within its limits isn't a bad idea.
...If the enemy takes it and can handle it better, that would be laughable.
"But that's not the problem."
"Then what is?"
"I'm irritated."
"If that's the problem, fine, but don't explode when I'm around."
The Under-Ops of the Order of the Sealed Dragon.
It's impossible to know what level of truth or facts about this world the organization understands.
However, compatibility matters in everything.
Ginji thinks.
The personnel department of Under-Ops, which unleashed this Hysteribaba, is also outrageous.
