I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 25

“Ahhhhhh!”

With a scream, there was a thud. Looking in the direction of the sound, the two young ladies who had been around His Highness Randolph were lying on the ground.

And the voices of the magical beasts from all directions of the venue.

What happened?

A magical circle rose from the ground, and a magical beast leaped out. I had experienced many tea parties in the past, but nothing like this had ever happened before.

It seems that Prince Randolph was about to retaliate immediately, but the young ladies, who were paralyzed by fear, were clinging to him and preventing him from moving.

It was the same for Lord Arthur and Lady Yolande.

I want to scream and run away, but I can’t escape because monsters are pouring out from all directions.

The knights present at the venue are facing the magical beasts, but they seem to be struggling against the continuously emerging magical beasts.

I will contact Professor Giannino immediately using magic.

“Teacher! Monsters have appeared in the palace courtyard. There are four magic circles, and monsters are pouring out from them!”

“!! Lady Yuria, is that true!? I’m heading there right now. Can you protect His Highness and the others with the barrier?”

“I think it’s possible…”

“Well then, please hold on somehow until I get there.”

I hurriedly stood on the table, checked my surroundings from a slightly elevated position, and cast the barrier.

It’s no wonder people say, “A lady shouldn’t climb on the table!”

If I’m told later, I’ll just apologize!

A hemispherical barrier rose up around me.

“Please do not leave this barrier until the palace knights and wizards arrive!!”

The magical beasts are trying to break through the barrier by charging and attacking.

At this tea party, young lords and ladies close in age to His Highness had gathered.

There are practical training sessions at the academy, but in the end, it’s just a pastime for the nobility. As for the young ladies, they probably just memorize it as knowledge.

It seems that there are some people in the knight department who can move, but it is difficult to fight while restraining the young ladies who have fallen into a panic.

Regarding the wizarding course, students don’t learn particularly difficult magic and there’s hardly any practical application, so it doesn’t really help much.

By the way, the reason I can use barriers is because I was taught the knowledge by my teacher, and I can somehow manage to use them because I practiced setting up barriers for one person in the royal palace.

Of course, I’ve never set up a barrier to protect the majority.

“Miss Yuria! Are you alright?”

Lord Yorland called out to me.

“Yes. I created a large barrier for the first time, and surprisingly, it went quite well. Lord Yorland, please protect the young ladies inside.”

As I said that, I jumped up and stood on the barrier.

There’s no way my skirt is completely visible.

Because I’m properly wearing pants.

Maybe because I wore pants for so many years, I started wearing them under my dress too. The maids didn’t like it, but I’m glad I pushed through.

If there are this many monsters, the knights will inevitably suffer casualties too, won’t they?

Later, Professor Paron might also be summoned to the palace.

While thinking that, I attack the magical beasts with spells from above the barrier. Seeing the magical beasts fall one after another, I can’t help but feel happy and smile.

As I thought, I’m better at offensive magic.

“Lady Yuria, thank you for waiting. I’m glad to see you safe and sound.”

Professor Giannino flew into the courtyard with a wizard in tow.

“Sensei! That magic circle over there!”

The teacher confirmed the direction I pointed to and talked about something with the other wizards. Then, the wizards split into two groups and flew away.

It seems we should first destroy the two magic circles closest to His Highness.

A wizard who, along with several knights, is exterminating the emerging magical beasts and a wizard who is breaking the magical circle.

“Teacher, may I also try breaking the magic circle?”

“Well then, shall we give it a try together? If it’s you, Lady Yuria, you can break it on your own.”

I unleash a powerful bolt of lightning at the monsters surrounding the magic circle behind me, annihilating them.

“The power of magic is this great?”

Professor Giannino, though surprised, beckoned and landed beside the magic circle.

“Lady Yuria, there are no traps set in this magic circle, so it can be easily broken. We just need to pour our magical power into it and break it from the outside.”

According to the teacher, there are things with traps attached to magic circles, and when they are broken, poison might rain down, spears might fly at you, and in the worst case, they might even be cursed or sealed with magic.

This magic circle seems to be a simple teleportation device that calls monsters from somewhere and brings them to this place.

It seems that when you become a royal palace magician, you also analyze magic circles and such.

Experts are amazing, aren’t they?

As soon as I began to channel my magical power into the magic circle, there was a crackling sound, and the circle disappeared.

“As expected of Lady Yuria. However, you’re pouring too much magic all at once. If there are any traps set, it will bounce back, so please be careful.”

Professor Giannino explains while defeating the monsters. As expected, it seems that the careful task of channeling magic is also necessary here.

It’s the same as the clinic, isn’t it?

I slowly pour my magical power into the magic circle, confirming as I make it disappear.

“You’ve improved quite a bit. As expected from training under Dr. Paron.”

“Teacher, please keep Mr. Paron a secret. No one knows about it.”

“Ah, that’s right. Let’s keep quiet about it. Now, all that’s left is to deal with the remaining magical beasts. We can leave the rest to the knights, but there are still issues within the barrier, so let’s take care of them quickly.”

Inside the barrier?
