I Was Saved by the Crown Prince, Who Jangled His Evil-Banishing Items, After I Lost Control of My Charm Magic – Chapter 5

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓: 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩!

My acquisition of charm magic at the State Temple ended in failure. However, regardless of my unique circumstances, the final exams are coming.

Before and during the exams, His Highness and I were always training in magic control behind the usual school building.

And the result of the exam is. . .

“. . .15th in the grade. . .”

I inadvertently muttered, looking at the ranking of the final exams posted in the hallway.

My name was written in the upper part, mixed with the names of other students, for the first time.

Until now, my name was always at the top of this paper with a perfect score.

“. . .Miss Claudia. . .getting such grades. . .”

“She was said to be the top student since the school started!”

A little far away, voices of concern about me were buzzing.

“Claudia-san, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell. . .”

“I haven’t seen you much after school recently. Were you busy with something other than your studies?”

“Ah, yes, no, I’m fine, everyone. Thank you for your concern.”

I smiled at the few male students who came to talk to me.

Then, everyone blushed, rubbed their noses shyly, and showed various reactions, such as making a fuss even though no one asked.

(Did my exam results get worse because the effect of my charm magic on the teachers has weakened. . .?)

If they are experts in magic, it’s not surprising that they originally have high resistance to magic. In other words, my charm magic control lessons are not in vain. . .

Well, I haven’t seen much change among students of the same age. . .

“. . .Hey, Claudia-san?”

“Yes?”

The male students in a daze left, and when I was relieved, a sharp, high-pitched voice was thrown from behind. I hurriedly turned around.

A young lady with abundant light purple hair curled up was crossing her arms and glaring at me.

“He is a man with a fiancée. No matter how much you are a commoner, as long as you attend this school, you should know the manners not to approach a man with a fiancée. . .”

“. . .”

I know. I’ve received that advice countless times.

The problem is that soon after that advice, the young lady herself becomes infatuated with me and somehow can’t help it. . .

“Are you listening seriously?”

. . . 

. . .But, this light purple girl doesn’t seem to be infatuated.

. . .Could it be. . .

“. . .I, I. . .”

“What is it? You suddenly start shaking. Oh no, are you trying to flirt with me too?”

I, me. . .

This is the first time a girl of my age has talked to me so seriously. . .!

Usually at this point, I’m admired for some reason and it’s left vague. This is the first time someone other than His Highness, who is not affected by my charm magic, has looked me in the eye and talked to me so directly. . .!

I’m about to cry.

“Don’t cry, please. Hmph, I’m glad it seems to have resonated a little. Be careful in the future. Excuse me.”

The beautiful lady with light purple hair left somewhere. Ah, I should have asked her name. . . If I knew her name, I would have written it down in my notebook along with today’s date. . .

・・・

“Claudia-san! How many times do you need to be told to understand? You always flirt with other people’s fiancés.”

“Oh, you’re taking advantage of Thomas’s kindness. Are all commoners as indiscreet as you?”

“Claudia-san, your grades have dropped, so isn’t it about time you stopped your disgraceful man-hunting?”

In a corner of the schoolyard, under a gazebo, I was alone. Just a moment ago, I was being bothered by a certain young lady, but I managed to escape.

It would be fine if I was just being bothered by the young lady alone, but when her fiancé is there, the situation becomes quite dangerous. Before, the young lady was also smitten with me, which made it easier to escape, so I welcomed the intrusion.

Even so, however.

“I feel like the girls at school have been getting more aggressive lately. . .”

“Is it just a matter of them getting more aggressive?”

Ah, this jingling sound. . . There’s no mistake, it’s His Highness.

His golden hair is sparkling brilliantly today. It’s so shiny and smooth, it’s enviable. Even though the sound effect when he walks is a jingle.

“Your control over your charm magic has improved a bit, hasn’t it?”

His Highness sat down a little distance away from me. He crossed his long legs and sat down in a relaxed manner.

At His Highness’s words, my cheeks involuntarily relaxed. “Is that so?” 

The influence of the charm magic wasn’t just fading on the school’s teachers. Its effect on the female students was also diminishing.

“I see. . . little by little, I’m getting better. . .”

I couldn’t help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

In response, His Highness raised an eyebrow in puzzlement.

“You seem happy.”

“Yes! Because, the results of my special training are showing!”

“Your existence, in its original form, would have been a thorn in the side of many female students. Thanks to your charm magic, you were adored by them. . . Isn’t the current situation difficult?”

“Yes. But more than that. . . It’s refreshing to feel what it’s like without charm magic!”

When I expressed my honest feelings, His Highness slightly narrowed his blue eyes.

“Charm magic tends to have a stronger influence on the opposite sex. Soon, the men will start treating you without the influence of charm magic.”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

When I responded with a full smile, His Highness looked at me with even more curious eyes.

“Aren’t you worried? Your life, you’ve been pampered all this time. Even if you didn’t do anything, you were adored. Suddenly, no matter how much you act spoiled, no one will substitute for you in cleaning the classroom or throwing away the trash.”

“Hey! I’ve never asked for such things!”

Choosing classroom cleaning and trash disposal, what? His Highness, your ideas are surprisingly simple.

“If the gap between your past life and now is too large, you might unconsciously strengthen your charm magic again. People in the world are colder to others than you think.”

“. . .Are you worried about me?”

“I’m not worried about you. I’m worried that your special training will be in vain.”

His blue eyes were staring straight into mine. . . Yeah. In my life, I’ve never had someone look me in the eye so directly. I’ve been stared at from close range countless times, though. 

His Highness, the first person to face me like this. When I look at his handsome face up close, I feel a warm feeling rising from the bottom of my heart.

“My charm magic doesn’t work on you, does it, Your Highness?”

“Of course. What are you talking about now?”

His Highness crossed his arms, looked down at me disdainfully, and snorted. Even with such an attitude, for some reason, my mouth loosens.

“Hehe, then, there’s no need to worry.”

“. . .What do you mean?”

His beautiful eyebrows were raised in puzzlement. He looked a bit grumpy, but I’m not scared of His Highness’s face like that anymore. At first, I was a little scared.

“Even without charm magic, Your Highness is very kind.”

“. . .”

“I mean, I think there are mean people too. . . But there must be many kind people like Your Highness. So I’m fine.”

With a smile, my face naturally brightened.

His Highness, without averting his eyes from me, listened to my slightly embarrassing words with a serious face. . . 

―― Papapapapapa~an!!!!!!!

And then, the Evil-Banishing Items suddenly exploded in large quantities.

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

Dust dances in the flashy explosion. This is the first time an explosion of this scale has occurred. Usually, only one item would explode modestly.

“Don’t scream! It’s noisy!”

“Wha, why?! Why did it explode so much?!”

“It’s because of your charm magic! Damn it, I was just about to praise the results of your special training! You!!! You still need more training! Work harder!!!”

“Eeeeh!”

The somewhat nice atmosphere literally exploded, and we continued our usual special training.

By the way, the prince’s test results were easily first place. Amazing.
