“Even though the Cheongtap is a relatively good magic tower, you still have to be careful.”

“Don’t be too discouraged by the number of wizards out there. Okay?”

“all right.”

“Even if an unknown wizard tries to trouble you, you should never get caught-”

When I told her I was going to the Blue Tower, Ranya gave me lots of advice.

But it seemed like he hoped I wouldn’t go to Cheongtap if possible.

From the Lord of Matap’s perspective, it must have felt like he was sending only his disciples into the middle of enemy territory.

The ’12 Towers’ tended to ignore those from other towers.

“Senior, if we keep doing this we’ll be late.”

Aria urged me on. The Lord of the Tower was still very worried, but I had no intention of staying in the Tower for too long anyway.

Only after I told him that I would return right after hearing the results of the contest was I able to finally let go of the Lord Matap.

“Take care on your way!”

But he still felt uneasy, so he came out to the front of the tower to see me off.

Because this was my first time going to another magic tower.

That too, in the city of wizards called ‘Union’, which has a blue tower.

I got on the carriage waiting in front of the tower and asked Aria, who was boarding the other side.

“Isn’t it necessary to follow me?”

“What are you talking about? How can you send someone who has never been to the union alone?”

Aria dismissed my words as if telling me not to talk nonsense.

That’s understandable, Aria was born in Union, the city of wizards.

I heard that he spent his childhood in Union before moving to the countryside with his parents. And that was in ‘Cheongtap’.

For Aria, this trip to Cheongtap was like going home.

Of course, he didn’t seem to consider it his hometown, as he didn’t have any good memories.

‘Because he was a kid who called the land where his parents were his hometown.’

But since he was from Cheongtap, he followed me even though I was his first time.

I was grateful for the care, but at the same time, I felt sorry.

Although she didn’t show it on the outside, Aria seemed to be reluctant to go to the Blue Tower.

“If it’s uncomfortable, I can go by myself.”

“Senior, when was the last time you went outside the rooftop?”

“… … Um, half a year ago?”

My last outing was half a year ago, when I stopped at the site of a canning factory during a scurvy epidemic.

There wasn’t really anything to do except to occasionally rest and soak up the sunlight in the garden of the magic tower.

“Before that?”

“… … .”

At a loss for words, I kept my mouth shut.

That was three months ago too.

‘I really don’t go out much.’

Actually, I didn’t feel any great inconvenience even though I didn’t go out.

All the rumors and information I heard from outside were brought to me by Aria.

Looking at it this way, I was leading a life that was extremely dependent.

From Aria’s perspective, it was natural that she couldn’t send a person who rarely went outside the Magic Tower to the Blue Tower alone.

“And it’s not just because I’m uncomfortable with talking about the Blue Tower. I just don’t see any reason to bring it up.”

“It must be uncomfortable.”

“yes.”

Aria nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

“It’s not like you can’t go, so don’t worry.”

“Well, then.”

Since you said that, I decided not to worry about this part anymore.

By the way.

‘I wonder if Snoopy’s delivery went well.’

Snoopy, who had been delivered to Cheongtap a few days earlier as an entry for the contest, came to mind.

*

“Elder Rawin, I will go in.”

The wizard of the Blue Tower, who had come to deliver the potion, opened Rawin’s room.

“Elder…?”

When Rawin, who had been leaning on the chair and staring blankly at the ceiling, lowered his head, the wizard flinched.

Rawin’s pale appearance, with dark circles thick under his eyes, gave off an ominous vibe.

“Something.”

“Po, the potion was delivered and I brought it with me.”

“… Leave it there and go.”

“yes.”

“But aren’t all the entries finished?”

“Oh, yes. This is the ivory tower—”

“Ugh!”

“?!”

The wizard was startled by the sight of Rawin suddenly letting out a short scream.

Rawin, who had been nodding his head as if sleepy, suddenly came to his senses.

“… If you’re tired, wouldn’t it be better to sleep?”

“I’m sleepy but I can’t sleep.”

“yes?”

What does this mean?

“Every time I try to sleep, Snoopy comes and wakes me up.”

“Who is Snoopy?”

“… … Snoopy is the spirit of the night.”

After finishing speaking, Rawin looked at the puppy drawn on the coffee milk and pleaded.

“Snoopy, I was wrong, please let me sleep.”

“… … .”

Is that puppy pictured on the milk jug a night spirit?

‘I guess you’re really stressed out from judging the contest.’

The wizard quietly put down the box containing the potion and carefully left the room.

After the wizard left, a loud roar echoed through the tower.

─Snoopy!

After a three-day journey by carriage, we arrived at Union, the city of wizards.

A unique scenery that I had never seen before unfolded on the street seen through the carriage window.

“Everyone is walking around wearing robes.”

“That’s normal clothing here.”

“That?”

People who weren’t wizards were walking around wearing robes with pointy hoods.

“The hooded robe is the traditional attire of the Union.”

“Not a wizard?”

“yes.”

Aria nodded.

“Because the Union is a holy place for wizards, the goggle robe has become a symbol of wizards.”

It is said that other items such as wands and witch hats also came from Union.

“Hmm, so that’s why Union is a city of wizards.”

When I first heard the news, Aria looked dumbfounded.

“What if a so-called wizard doesn’t know this? You learn it all during your apprenticeship.”

“I guess it leaked out.”

Even if you don’t know, it doesn’t affect your life.

While Aria and I were talking about this and that, the carriage crossed a bridge over a wide river and arrived at Cheongtap.

─We have arrived. This is the Blue Tower.

As I got out of the carriage and heard the coachman’s voice, I was inwardly surprised by the sight that unfolded.

“Wow, it’s really tall.”

A tower made of gray stone rose endlessly.

‘It’s probably four times higher than our tower.’

It was the size of a large building I had seen in my previous life.

“Let’s go in.”

Aria led me with a familiar look, as if she had been there many times.

But Aria soon stopped dead in her tracks.

Aria’s face, looking at the entrance to the magic tower, was grimacing as if she had seen something she shouldn’t have seen.

After seeing where Aria was looking, I could see why.

“Oh my, what a coincidence.”

Ayla, who had been looking around the main gate as if looking for someone, came over to us with a happy expression on her face when she found us.

As if we met by chance.

‘You should at least hide your facial expressions.’

Even if I didn’t want to know who Ayla was waiting for, I couldn’t help but find out.

Because it was all obvious from the expression on your face.

“Aria, you’re here too.”

He was a person who could not act in his entire life.

“You acted like you’d never come back to Cheongtap again, so what happened?”

“I didn’t come to see my sister, so don’t worry about it.”

Ayla, who had been perking up her ears as if expecting something, paused for a moment.

“… If you came because of the contest, then you should just have a good time looking around the union.”

“What does that mean?”

“I mean it literally, I’m going to win the contest.”

Ayla smiled as she thought about the potion and felt better again.

Then he turns to me and says:

“I added kola tree and dazzling to this potion to enhance its potency.”

“Is it a cola tree?”

“Yes, ‘Cola Tree.’”

Ayla smiles proudly, emphasizing the ‘cola tree’.

She seemed to stop there and didn’t say anything else. And I was secretly surprised.

‘It’s definitely outstanding.’

The cola tree actually contains ‘caffeine’, which causes a stimulating effect.

Darjeeling, the raw material for black tea, also contains caffeine.

It seemed clear that Ayla, who figured this out and mixed it, was an excellent potion maker.

‘Of course, you can’t beat Snoopy with that.’

I knew there was something there because he was so confident, but I never thought it was a cola tree.

As I looked at Ayla, who was looking at me with a surprised look in her eyes as if asking, “How is it?”, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Ayla seemed competent, but somehow she was ambiguously competent.

Of all things, it wasn’t coffee beans or guarana, but rather a cola tree.

“… … That’s surprising.”

“Right?”

It wasn’t easy to respond.

*

After parting ways with Ayla, we were assigned a room in the Blue Tower.

Aria asked me as I lay on the bed.

“Senior, aren’t we promoting?”

The Magic Tower contest is ultimately decided by a vote of the magicians who are members of the Magic Tower, although judges give points.

That’s why those who participated in the contest were busy promoting the potions they created.

but.

“I already did it.”

“Publicity?”

“I sent the package before you came.”

I shipped hundreds of Snoopy posters to Cheongtop as contest entries, so it probably spread on its own.

“Is that okay?”

“Enough.”

Anything more than that was unnecessary.

Yeah, that’s right.

‘Because it’s Snoopy.’
