Monica, I brought you your food!
Monica! I've brought you some food.
Long time no see!
It's nice to see you!
Hold the door for me, will you? I got a lot of stuff here.
I'm bringing some stuff in, so hold the door for me, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Oof.
There we go.
Nero! Good day to you!
Hello there, Nero!
It's messy like always.
Your house is as messy as always...
Hey, is this stack of books and stuff important? Can I throw it out?
Say, are all these papers important?
It's all very important.
Can I toss 'em out?
Oh, by the way! Did you know?
E-Everything's important!
Three months ago, the eastern border was hit by a dragonraid.
Oh, right! Have you heard?
I heard lots of pterodragons appeared near the village.
There was a dragonraid at the eastern border three months ago!
And even more scary,
A horde of pterodragons attacked a village!
the leader of the pterodragons was the legendary infamous
And they were led by none other than the legendary Black Dragon of Worgan!
Black Dragon of Worgan.
I see...
And it seems like one of the Seven Sages was sent out there.
And get this! They dispatched one of the Seven Sages!
Yeah, the Seven Sages are the top seven mages in the country.
Oh, the Seven Sages refer to the kingdom's top mages!
And guess who?
I-I see...
The youngest of the Seven Sages,
Guess who they sent?
the Silent Witch, drove them off all by herself.
The youngest of the Seven!
They say the Silent Witch is the only mage around right now
Yes, the one and only Silent Witch took all the dragons out by herself!
who can use unchanted magecraft.
Wow...
Doing spells without chanting is so cool, right?
They say the Silent Witch is the only mage capable of unchanted magecraft!
Wait.
Imagine casting magic without chanting! How cool is that?
It's too much…
H-Here...
It's to thank you for always bringing me what I need.
That's a lot...
Monica, what do you do, exactly?
I'd like to thank you for all your deliveries.
Mathematics?
Hey, what do you do for a living, anyway?
As in, you're like a math expert?
Um... calculations?
Well, kinda… I suppose.
Are you a math professor?
Then that person who came to our village must be a math expert too.
I suppose... you could... say that.
Someone said they were your colleague and wanted to see you,
Then the man who came to our village must be a professor too.
so I gave them directions.
Huh?
It was me.
Your colleague was looking for you, so I led him here.
Long time no－
That would be me.
L-L-L-L-Loui-Louis.
It's been a—
Would you mind not using something ridiculous like "L-L-L-L-Loui-Louis"
L-L-L-L-Lou-Louis...
as a replacement for my name?
I would appreciate not being assigned a name as peculiar as L-L-L-L-Lou-Louis.
Sorry…
S-So-Sorry...
Thank you for telling me the way here, young lady.
Thank you for showing me the way, young lady.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Well, I'd better get on with things. Bye-bye!
I'll be going now.
It's been a long time, Louis.
Bye-bye.
Indeed. It's been quite a while.
I-It's been a while, Louis.
Lady Monica Everett. Or should I say, Silent Witch of the Seven Sages.
It has indeed.
Humans cannot manipulate mana without incantations.
The Seven Sages' very own Silent Witch—
However, there is one genius who made the impossible possible.
Lady Monica Everett.
It is impossible to manipulate one's mana without a chant.
However, a lone prodigy made the impossible possible.
Her name is Monica Everett.
Her name is Monica Everett.
This girl, who has hidden herself away in a mountain cabin,
This girl, who has shut herself away in a mountain cabin,
is one of the Seven Sages, the best mages in The Kingdom of Ridill.
stands at the pinnacle of Ridill's mage hierarchy as one of the Seven Sages.
She is the Silent Witch.
They call her the Silent Witch.
The story of how this girl came to master unchanted magecraft
How she came to acquire her unchanted magecraft was quite simple.
is actually quite a simple one.
Monica was extremely shy and suffered from social anxiety,
Monica is extremely shy and gets nervous easily.
rendering her unable to speak in the presence of others.
She finds it difficult to speak in front of other people.
When faced with people she didn't know,
When she encountered strangers,
she would convulse and lose her voice.
she would start convulsing and become unable to even make a sound.
At worst, she would even vomit or faint.
In worst cases, she would vomit or faint.
Naturally, this meant she could not perform magecraft.
Naturally, there was no way she could perform magic incantations.
Close to failing her grade, Monica thought hard.
She was very close to failure when it occurred to her.
She was too nervous to chant in the presence of the examiners.
If she was too nervous to chant in front of an examiner, then…
And her solution was...
I should just use magic without chanting.
I just have to perform magecraft without chanting.
Most people would try to overcome their fear of strangers and social anxiety.
The average person would work to overcome their shyness and anxiety,
But Monica's way of thinking soared far off in an unexpected direction.
but Monica instead opted for the utterly unexpected.
And just like that, her talent blossomed.
And just like that, her talent blossomed.
And so, the genius girl mastered unchanted spells
Thus, the prodigy mastered the art of unchanted magecraft
and quickly rose to become one of the Seven Sages.
and quickly rose to become one of the Seven Sages.
This is precisely what happens
Her unorthodox efforts had paid off in spades.
when effort takes off in an unexpected direction.
I'm unsurprised to see you wasting your talents,
I see you are still squandering your talent, fellow sage.
my fellow Sage.
Ryn, activate the soundproof barrier.
Ryn, the soundproof barrier.
Of course.
Right away, sir.
As expected from a high spirit.
That's a High Spirit for you...
If only humans could manipulate mana without spells,
If only people could manipulate mana without magecraft.
I wouldn't have had to perfect unchanted magecraft myself.
I wouldn't have had to develop unchanted magecraft myself.
Now then…
Now then.
I came to see you today because there's something I'd like to ask you.
I'm here today with a favor to ask of you.
Ask me?
Wh-Who, me?
Yes.
Why, yes. The truth is, I've been serving as a bodyguard to the second prince
The truth is, I've been serving as a bodyguard to the second prince,
under secret orders from His Majesty the King.
under secret orders from His Majesty the King.
But you're within the first prince's faction, aren't you?
A-Aren't you part of the first prince's faction, though?
Yes.
Why, yes. And the second prince's safety has nevertheless fallen to me.
But for some reason, I was assigned to guard the second prince.
I have my theories as to why,
I have my own suspicions as to why.
but idly speculating on His Majesty's intentions would be disrespectful.
But speaking of His Majesty's intentions based on speculation
Let's not go there.
would be disrespectful.
What matters is that I have been ordered to protect the second prince unnoticed.
So I'll say no more.
His Highness Felix currently attends Serendia Academy and resides in its dorms.
What's important is that I was ordered to guard the second prince
Infiltrating the academy would be the way to go...
without him knowing.
But alas, that isn't an option for me.
His Highness Felix, the second prince,
My fame and dashing good looks are simply unsuited for espionage.
attends Serendia Academy, a boarding school.
Tooting your own horn?
It would be easier for me to try and ifiltrate the academy, but…
Silence, you lousy maid.
But it wouldn't make sense.
What's your plan, then?
With my reputation and good looks, I'm not cut out for undercover work.
The Academy's greatest patron is Duke Clockford, who leads the second prince's faction.
Isn't that a bit full of yourself?
So I prepared this.
Opinionated maids don't get paid.
Th-This has danger detection, short-ranged physical and magical protection,
But then, how…
plus tracking and messaging functions in a hybrid barrier... right?
Duke Clockford, a strong supporter of the second prince,
One look was all it took you.
pulls the strings of the academy.
Correct, it is a defensive artifact I painstakingly made.
So, I prepared this.
This brooch and the one I gave to Prince Felix were a matching pair.
A combined tracking and communication barrier with danger detection
They were designed to tell me his whereabouts and movements at all times.
and a low-range physical and magical defense.
That sounds more... like spying...
Is that right?
It's only natural that I be aware of what my target is doing.
You can tell all that just from looking.
Won't there be trouble if he finds out?
Yes. This is a protective magical item that I carefully crafted myself.
You take things far too seriously, my fellow Sage.
This brooch and the one I gave to His Highness Felix are a matching pair.
Here's a great saying to live by.
They allow me to monitor His Highness's location and movements at all times.
One must simply never be caught red-handed.
Isn't that spying?
I had the brooch delivered to His Highness under the guise of a gift.
It's only natural to keep track of the person you are assigned to protect.
It shattered the very next day.
But you'd get into a lot of trouble if he found out.
An entire week spent without rest, wasted in a single day.
My fellow sage seems rather too earnest.
I couldn't help but laugh as soon the brooch broke.
Here's a saying for you.
To think I refrained from seeing my dear wife just to make it.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him."
I-Is the second prince... safe?
His Majesty presented it to His Highness under the guise of a present, you see.
I naturally hauled my sleep-deprived self to the academy.
It seems it broke the very next day after it was given to him.
There, I was informed that nothing of note had happened.
After devoting an entire week of sleepless, tireless effort,
The brooch was merely a victim of carelessness—or so he said.
it was gone in just one day.
At any rate, I assume you can guess where this conversation is going?
Well, when the brooch shattered,
I want you to infiltrate the academy and guard His Highness in my place.
I found it so hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.
Th-That's not happening! Why me?
I even endured being apart from my beloved wife in order to craft the piece.
Unlike me, you refuse to mingle with high society.
Is the second prince…
Thanks to your hood and downwards gaze at ceremonies, few have seen your face.
Is he safe?
And above all...
Of course.
Who would ever imagine a drab girl like you could be one of the Seven Sages?
Despite my exhaustion, I rallied and rushed to the academy.
B-B-B-B-B-But!
When I got there, they just said nothing happened.
There will be no b-b-b-b-b-buts about this.
Only that the brooch was broken accidentally.
Besides, your unchanted magecraft makes you perfect for discreet action.
So, by now, you must understand what I am trying to say?
I can't! I really, really, can't...
I'd like you to sneak into the academy and protect His Highness in my place.
Two years have passed since we assumed our place among the Seven.
I can't! Why should I…
Since then, all you've accomplished was to hide away and bury yourself in research papers.
Unlike me, you aren't part of high society.
Th-Three months ago, I took down some dragons...
Even at ceremonies, you keep your hood up and your gaze lowered.
I did that ten times in the three months since then. What of it?
So no one knows your face.
Listen here.
Most importantly,
You are one of the Seven Sages who stand above every mage in Ridill.
no one would ever suspect such a plain little girl
There are surely things you are capable of that no one else can accomplish.
to be one of the Seven Sages.
Don't you think so? Surely you think so? Go ahead and think so.
B-B-B-B-B-But…
I demand it.
No b-b-b-b-b-buts.
B-B-B-B-B-But, I only became a Sage by process of elimination.
Above all, your talent for performing unchanted magecraft
No more b-b-b-b-b-buts.
is perfect for providing discreet protection.
His Majesty left the matter of protecting the second prince in my hands.
No…
Which means you have no say in whatever I deem is necessary, my fellow Sage.
I don't want to…
Excellent.
It's been about two years since we became part of the Seven Sages.
Let's talk details.
All you've done in that time is hole yourself up in here
Several years ago,
and bury yourself in paperwork.
a girl with no family lived in a a Kerbeck county monastery.
But I slayed a dragon three months ago too, by the way.
Uh-huh.
In the past three months, I've slain ten dragons. What's your point?
The former Countess of Kerbeck was struck by the girl's resemblance to her deceased husband
Look.
and decided to adopt her.
You're one of the top ranking mages in the kingdom, one of the Seven Sages.
From then on, the girl's life was one of love and happiness.
Don't you realize there are some jobs that only you can take care of?
That's nice.
You know that, right? You do know that, don't you?
Tragically, the Countess was later taken by an illness.
Then act like it.
No...
Act like it.
Having lost her guardian, the girl was shunned by the Countess's daughter
B-B-B-B-B-But I only joined the Seven Sages as a kind of spare…
and forced to slave away as a servant.
B-B-B-B-B-But nothing.
Which brings us to now. The Count's daughter is due to begin her studies at Serendia Academy,
I have been given full responsibility for guarding the second prince by His Majesty.
and the girl has been forced to join her there as her caretaker.
Meaning, you have no choice but to accept as my fellow sage. Isn't that right?
Th-That poor girl...
I'm glad you understand.
Yes, and that poor girl is you.
Now then, as for the specifics…
Come again?
A few years ago,
Hey, Monica. Hello?
at the monastery in Count Kerbeck's territory,
Feel these paws.
there was a girl with no family.
Don't you just love my paw pads?
Right…
There's no way... I can protect... a prince!
The former Countess of Kerbeck saw a likeness of her deceased husband
Why don't you run away if you're so against this?
in the girl and decided to adopt her.
N-No, Louis will chase me to the ends of the earth.
The girl was cherished by the former Countess and had a happy upbringing.
The skin under his gloves is all calloused from fighting!
That's a nice story.
You sure you aren't confusing him for a guardian of the underworld?
However, the Countess was struck down by a dreadful illness and passed away.
That's just how terrifying he is!
Oh, no…
O-Okay, well, look on the bright side.
The girl, having lost her guardian,
If he's a prince, he's probably pretty dashing, right?
was resented by the cruel count's daughter and was forced to work as a servant.
I love reading books.
Then, when that count's daughter was accepted into Serendia Academy,
I read all about princes in Dustin Gunther's books.
the girl was forced to go with her as her attendant.
I'm not following you.
That poor girl.
Don't the Seven Sages attend ceremonies?
Yes. You will be playing the role of that poor girl.
Shouldn't you have seen him?
I will?
I always keep my eyes shut the whole time...
Oi, Monica. Oi!
You know, that got me thinking...
Hey, look at my paws. You love my paws, don't you?
Go on.
Me… guarding the prince…
How are you supposed to protect someone you don't even know?
I can't.
In the first winter, I sold one little piggy.
If it's that bad, why don't you just run away?
In the second winter, I sold another little piggy.
That'll never work! Louis would chase me no matter how far I go.
In the third winter, I sold two little piggies.
I've seen them. The hard calluses on his knuckles under his gloves.
In the fourth winter, I sold three little piggies.
Hey, isn't that dude meant to be a guardian of the underworld or something?
In the fifth winter, I sold five little piggies.
That's how terrifying he is!
The wheels on the cart go round and round.
Then look on the bright side. The prince must be quite a dish, right?
The little piggies go oink, oink.
I'm a book lover myself, you know.
If in the sixth winter I sold eight little piggies,
It's written in Dustin Gunther's book, so I know all about it.
how many little piggies did I sell in the tenth?
I don't know.
Fifty-five little piggies!
Don't the Seven Sages have to go to ceremonies and stuff?
317,811 little piggies in the 28th.
Haven't you seen him around?
514,229 little piggies in the 29th.
I always keep my eyes shut.
My fellow Sage?
Hey, I just realized something.
832,040 little piggies in the—
Yeah?
Can you hear me?
Shouldn't you know what the person you're protecting looks like?
I-I was just thinking about something...
One piggy sold in the first winter
We're almost at our destination.
One piggy sold in the second winter
To that end, I have a proposition for a completely unprecedented landing method—
Two piggies sold in the third winter
Three piggies sold in the fourth winter
Five piggies sold on the fifth winter
Rumbling with the sound of the wheels
"Oink, oink! Oink, oink!" Cry the little piggies
If you sell eight piggies In the sixth year
How many piggies will be sold In the tenth winter?
Fifty-five piggies
Year 28. 317,811 piggies.
-Year 29. 514,229 piggies. -Fellow sage?
-Fellow sage? -Year 30. 830,000…
I was just thinking about something.
We will be arriving shortly.
I'd like to propose a revolutionary landing method.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Welcome to our home.
Welcome to my humble abode.
Rosalie, I've just returned.
Rosalie, I'm home!
Excuse me. Eye movement, no abnormalities.
Pardon me. Eyes fine, no bleeding gums.
No gum bleeding.
That said, inner eyelids are pale. Nails, too.
However, the underside of the lower lids are pale. The nails are whitish.
I also see signs of malnutrition and anemia.
And there are symptoms of malnutrition and anemia.
How old are you?
How old are you?
I'm 16.
I-I'm 16...
You're too skinny.
You're far too thin.
I don't know who you are, but anyone can see you're not well…
I don't know who you are, but you're clearly not healthy.
Wouldn't it be nice to say,
How about welcoming your husband home?
"Welcome home" to your husband when he comes home?
Patients come first.
Attending to a patient takes top priority.
Good.
You're almost presentable now.
You're a little more presentable now.
Well, let's have you greet the guests now.
Time to get you acquainted with our guest.
Guests…
Guest?
And who are you from now on?
You have a role to play from now on, don't you?
But won't the background you came up with
Won't the story you made up be a bad look for House Kerbeck?
just bother other people when they hear it?
The Count said it sounded like something straight out of a ballad. He was very much onboard.
Count Kerbeck said it sounded just like a ballad.
He was, huh...
He loved it.
Besides...
"He loved it."
Does the Kerbeck name not ring any bells?
Anyway, does the name Count Kerbeck sound familiar to you?
Oh, the dragons.
The dragon I slayed…
Exactly. That is the county you saved from the Black Dragon of Worgan.
Indeed.
"Why, if it will assist the Silent Witch, then by all means," he said.
This is the area you protected from the Black Dragon of Worgan three months ago.
Now, let us be off.
The count said he was willing to play along, if it was for the Silent Witch.
Greetings and salutations!
So,
Why, Monica, you old bag, how very impoverished you look.
shall we go?
The mere thought of having you associated with House Kerbeck fills me with shame!
How do you do?
How was my act?
Well, if it isn't Lady Monica, dressed as shabby as ever.
Did I come off like a villainess?
Your name is recorded among the lowest ranks of Count Kerbeck's family.
I've been practicing every day to get the haughty tone right!
How terribly embarrassing for our family.
My goodness, where are my manners?
How was that?
It's a pleasure to meet you, esteemed Silent Witch.
Did I sound like a proper villainous noble lady?
I am Isabelle Norton.
I've been practicing my voice every single day.
On behalf of my father and my people, I can't thank you enough for slaying the black dragon.
How careless of me.
Shouldn't you greet Lady Isabelle, my fellow Sage?
It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Lady Silent Witch.
Apologies. I'm afraid she is somewhat shy.
My name is Isabelle Norton.
No offense taken.
On behalf of my father and the villagers, I express deep gratitude to you
I know better than anyone just how strong and brave Monica is.
for slaying the black dragon.
Fellow sage, won't you greet Lady Isabelle?
She's a little shy.
It doesn't bother me.
Because I know that my dear Monica is stronger and braver than anyone.
Agatha.
Agatha.
Thank you for serving our family for all of these years.
Thank you for everything you've done for our family.
It's time to release you from your duty.
You are hereby dismissed.
No. I will accompany you until the very end.
No, my lady, I shall be with you until the very end.
Thank you.
Thank you...
Ms. Agatha, I have to tell you something!
Big news, Aggie!
A mage from the royal capital has defeated the black dragon!
A mage from the Capital defeated the black dragon!
It was the Silent Witch.
It was the Silent Witch!
They're saying the Silent Witch drove off the black dragon all by herself!
They say the Silent Witch took down the black dragon all by herself!
What's the damage?
What are our casualties?
There were zero casualties.
Zero lives lost!
My Lady…
My lady...
No!
This is terrible!
The pterodragons have come to avenge the black dragon.
The pterodragons are rampaging with their leader lost...
My Lady!
My lady, no!

You defeated not only the Black Dragon of Worgan,
You did it all by yourself!

On top of that, you used wind to carry the falling pterodragons

And to finish things off, you left without saying a word!
And just disappeared without saying a word!
You took my breath away!
Way, way, way too cool!
U-Uh...
Well…
I heard that your next task is to infiltrate Serendia Academy!
This time, I heard you're going to infiltrate Serendia Academy!
I swear to play the part of the nastiest stepsister ever

Leave everything to me and focus on keeping His Highness safe!
Don't worry. Please focus entirely on protecting His Highness!
