For a week now, since being wanted as a fugitive, Ivonne’s plans for relocating and settling in the Ortensia Republic had gone smoothly.
This was largely thanks to Isaac, who had helped her from close by. Without his extensive knowledge of the Republic, it would have been quite challenging for her.
‘I’m not even a true resident of this world, and there isn’t a single line about the Republic in the original story.’
Isaac was indeed kind. Whenever she thought about his patient demeanor as he quietly waited for her during her moments of fear, she knew he would always be that way.
Now, Isaac and Ivonne found themselves in the bustling center of a quiet rural town. Ding! When Isaac opened the door, the bell hanging by the entrance chimed cheerfully.
“Come again!”
A cheerful and polite server beamed at them as they left. While Isaac remained silent, Ivonne exchanged a light nod with the staff. The two of them walked out of the store with a calmness that seemed almost surreal, considering their circumstances.
Despite being in a foreign country and a quiet rural town, Isaac was a death-row inmate recorded as dead in this world, and Ivonne was a fugitive wanted for her crimes. How could they use the store so nonchalantly?
“Wow! This magical tool is incredibly convenient!”
It was thanks to the glasses that both Isaac and Ivonne were currently wearing. Once they stepped a little further from the shop and onto a leisurely street, Isaac removed his glasses, marveling at them.
He was breathing heavily, as if he had just relaxed after being tense, and his green eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Right? Here you go.”
Ivonne pulled out a freshly baked butter bread from the paper bag she had tucked under her arm and handed it to Isaac.
Since it was late autumn, nearing early winter, the warmth from the bread was quickly fading. Not wanting to waste it, Isaac took a bite and examined the glasses he had just removed, his face brimming with awe.
If one were to point out the item that played a significant role in helping both Ivonne and Isaac relocate and settle in the Ortensia Republic, it would undoubtedly be these glasses.
“Wow, I knew my junior was an amazing ancient wizard, but I had no idea you could create magical tools like this! Glasses that blurred one’s impression…”
Isaac’s gaze as he looked at the glasses was almost dreamy, as if he was beholding a masterpiece.
“Why didn’t I think of this? Disguise magic is so cumbersome and consumes a lot of mana that I had given up on it. The formula that Celestia developed independently has ultimately disappeared from the world, right?”
Ivonne nodded in agreement.
“Exactly. The risks associated with the alternative, disguise potions, are quite high. Once you build up a tolerance, the duration gets shorter and shorter. After the fall of Marquisate Cyand, their prices skyrocketed.”
“If you keep buying them regularly, you might get caught.”
“That’s right. So, I thought it would be great to have a tool that helps with something similar, even if it’s not a full disguise.”
“So this glasses is the result of that thought… Wow, junior! This is truly impressive!”
Isaac couldn’t hide his excitement. It was only natural; thanks to these glasses, both Isaac, who was recorded as dead in this world, and Ivonne, wanted as a fugitive, could live freely.
Of course, this magical tool that blurs the impression wasn’t the first concept Ivonne had created.
‘Rix must have worn glasses like these.’
Others had already used such glasses, and she had merely adapted them a bit. However, there was no need to mention this fact to Isaac.
‘It’s not like I’m going to sell them or anything.’
Speaking of ‘selling’, it reminded her of her worries about the Azolt Transparent Crystal Mine. Ivonne owned it, but now that she was a wanted fugitive, it must have been confiscated by the Empire.
‘Does Larissa think I’m a fugitive?’
If Larissa still believed in her, then Ivonne felt sorry for her, but she was afraid of being betrayed and couldn’t contact her. It was even more frustrating lately, as there was no news about the Azolt Transparent Crystal in any external newspapers.
‘It would be great if I could get my hands on a Sortenic Empire newspaper.’
Despite the presence of magic, in a world that lagged far behind modern times in terms of equal information exchange, acquiring regional newspapers from foreign countries was quite difficult.
‘I didn’t tell Isaac, but I secretly sent a letter to Rix…’
Worried that using magic might lead to being tracked down by the Crown Prince, just as Blitzen had been, she opted for this old-fashioned method. This was a week ago, right after Ivonne had learned that she was wanted as a fugitive and was discussing what to do next with Isaac.
‘So it should be about time for a reply…’
Unfortunately, there had been no news at all. She had purposely sent the letter from the farm to conceal her current residence. It was tedious, but she checked in at the farm once a day, yet the situation remained the same.
She had planned to ask about the Azolt Transparent Crystal Mine and inform Rix of her new location when she received a response, but that now seemed unlikely.
‘If I don’t hear back for too long, I will start to worry about Rix… What if he’s been captured by the Crown Prince?’
