On an early Saturday morning, with dew hanging from the plants everywhere.

This should be a time of intense preparation and training for the underlying tasks at hand.

* Om nom nom...

But what I was actually doing was feeding carrots to the baby unicorn.

Listening to the cheerful sound of it quickly devouring the carrots was both confusing and bewildering.

Why was the unicorn here? The unicorn's usual territory is a bit farther away. Did it just jump all the way here?

[How did you get in here?]

* Om nom nom?

[No, it’s fine. Just finish eating.]

The more fundamental question was how it got past the security.

The mansion that the director used was a long-abandoned house, but there were no signs of wear or damage, and it didn’t allow intruders like thieves.

It wasn’t even about whether there had been any attempts. Measures had been set up to prevent any entry in the first place.

There had always been some force that seemed to envelop the mansion. I thought it might be magic, but the way it felt seemed more like a kind of abstract magical interpretation that wasn’t quite a spell...

‘It must be the Word Command.’

Word Command (言令). The ability to force something into being with words. A type of special ability that spans both inherent abilities and magic.

The director’s special ability was Word Command. Before becoming the tower master, he had the title The Silent Mage.

It was a title earned because of the shadowless incantation he used.

‘Word Command and Silence?’

This point made me tilt my head in confusion. How could the power to invoke phenomena with words coexist with a title that suggests silence? It didn’t make sense to use a silent incantation if you had Word Command...

* Word Command, and yet, a Silent Mage in the mix...

[Confusion]@@novelbin@@

...Anyway.

* Frrr...?

* Frrr

*

*

* Woof! Woof!
