The liquor store (Okama Bar) "Anemone of the Sea" was empty.

More importantly, I didn't have a single guest. In addition to the bad weather, there have been rumors lately that "people are coming," and fewer people are putting out their energy for night out. I was Nick trying to get away with blocking Karan's eyes when there were drunk customers and no one in the store, but I ended up with a shoulder watermark.

But such a situation doesn't seem good as a store, and Red, the lawyer and cheese mom, has a blatantly grumpy face.

"You want us to just solve this, it's a dead and alive problem. I won't be grinding tea forever."

Even so, we're adventurers and bounty hunters.

To Red's blur, Nick said back looking troublesome.

"If you're a bounty hunter, it's your job to catch bad guys. Good luck, I'll help you even if you're a little impotent. I loaned it here as a meeting place, and I didn't even take the seat fee."

"That would help."

[Survivor] faces were forming on the biggest table.

You perceived the air of the work story, and the other clerks showed no signs of coming out a little bit.

"Oh, unless, of course, you want to eat something. What do you want?"

Red pulled into the counter and began to prepare booze and water.

Seems like I'm going to leave it up to you to make it right while you ask people.

"Ask for your order... anyway, Aida. How's the injury?

"Oh, he's pimping."

[Survivor] On the couch opposite them, Aida and her daughter Raina sat side by side.

Aida looks unbelievable when she collapses due to Stepping Man's attack.

"It's the usual thing to get hurt like this. Fighting at all..."

"Mom! You can't!

When Aida shakes her right arm up in good shape, her daughter, Raina, reprimands her squeamishly.

Aida continues her conversation as she shrugs her shoulders, for Christ's sake.

"... so some daughters I can count on. No problem. What, you want to ask me something?

"Yes."

It was Zem who snorted at it.

"You used to fight Stepping Man, didn't you? Seems like he was fighting outside of the night he was injured when he realized Steppingman existed."

"Oh, yeah. I've done it a few times.... even though I was just looking around in my spare time during the day because this kid says"

Again, Nick and the others tried to talk to Aida, but Aida didn't seem too comfortable. Are you out of hand, or are you stroking my daughter Rayna's head?

"So that's what I know. Hardly. I want to know who I am."

"I don't want to ask you who you are. I want to know why you were able to fight…"

"Hmm?"

"He totally erases the signs, and even lighter like a cat. But you had a countermeasure. Otherwise it's weird."

"I see. You want to know that?

Aida finally smiles at whether the story swallowed.

"No, I have a general idea. It's enhanced magic, isn't it?

"... what, you know"

Aida put some weight on the back of the couch, looking, uh, disappointed.

Nick whines a lot when he sees it.

"... you don't look like a magician."

"It's obvious. Magic isn't a big deal. There are only four things I can use. Perhaps around Magic Sensitivity, Sensory Enhancement, and then Lightweight (Keshin), which lightens the body, or Heavy Weight (Jushin), which weighs the other way around. That's the kind of low-level magic that reinforces the system."

"I've never heard of you...... can you use Zem?

"No, I can't."

Zem shakes his head to the side.

Aida smiled when she saw it.

"I'm glad you beat Cleric Sama one. But you knew me well. Even clerics don't know many people."

"Yeah, I was just looking into it for a different purpose."

"Another purpose?

When Nick asked, Zem looked, oops.

"Did you forget? I thought you said Nick would teach you basic enhancement magic."

"Oh, that's the thing!

When he had previously explored the Wooden Man Martial Arts Forest, Nick had his magic ready for him from the beginning.

However, Tiana and the others had made the view that practical magic could not be used because of the low amount of magic. Zem was looking for magic that could be used by Nick like that... so...

"Helpful, Zem"

"Never mind. If you'll hang out with me at the tavern again."

"Let me think about that."

Zem says, "I'm flabbergasted."

A laugh leaked from all of them.

"Anyway, all of the magic that Aida said is less challenging. I think even Mr. Nick can use it without any problems. It's just... it's hard to get the effect."

"What do you mean?

"What do you think would happen if you had a labyrinth chicken in front of you with about fifty chillies, all of a sudden your nose was sharp like a dog or cat?

"... uh"

Nod as Nick was convinced.

but Tiana questioned it there.

"But that's not what other fortified magic is all about, is it? Zem usually uses Rigidity and Robustness. I've had a couple of calls, but I've never been inconvenient."

"That's a complete form of magic that can be done by adjusting well where it's going to be a problem...... I mean, safety is guaranteed. For example," rigidity "is adjusted to prevent injury even if muscle strength is strengthened, right? At the same time, the skin and bones are being strengthened to protect the body, or to limit their effectiveness so that they do not go too far."

Well, the exclamation leaked out of everyone's mouth.

All of them, they didn't know much about it.

"I mean..."

"In the case of low-level fortified witchcraft, that's not the kind of meticulous adjustment. We just have to do something with the way the body moves and the fine tweaks of magic. Is it easy to remember, but difficult to use?"

"Yes. Techniques are important to all of this, even in magic. Instead, if you inject magic into it, you'll get hurt badly, so the trick is to use magic. You're better off with a guy who's not blessed with magic."

So you noticed Stepping Man.

"Oh. I'm working on" Sensory Enhancement "first, then" Light Body. "It's convenient for scouts because it strengthens your hearing and vision. And yet... that was disgusting. I can hear footsteps from the roof even though there's no sign at all."

"So I noticed the signs. I could handle that mild move by myself. I don't know."

"Ma, I followed you, so it was the best I could do... but at least if I could move my legs more, I could move as much as that pervert"

Aida throws up regrettably.

But Nick and Zem embarked on the opposite impression.

"As much...... don't you mean that steppingmen use similar sorcery?

"I wanted to make sure of that too, didn't I? What do you say?

Aida nods at the two inquiries.

"I think so. There were a couple of advanced adventurers who used it. It's not as common magic as a magician remembers, but it's not as bad as being out of the door. It's not strange that someone can use it."

"Oh!"

"Again."

Nick and Zem looked at each other happily.

Little by little, the characteristics of the stepman are clarified.

The fact that it's not an unidentified Phantom or something is a small but definite step.

But there, Karan presented a difference.

"But what do you do because you know what you're capable of? Asking this person to help..."

Hirakan looks at Raina.

Aida has a foot injury.

And I have a daughter to protect.

"No way. I'm not going to ask an injured person who's not in the mood."

"I don't mind if I do. Are you dissatisfied?

I laughed like Aida said that and made fun of me.

"No, Mom!

"You protect Mr. Raina. What would you do if you held her hostage?"

Eida pointing her mouth in a grumpy manner because she was scolded at the same time by both of them.

"So, what are you gonna make me do?

"You just said technology is more important than magic. So I want you to tell me that."

"I said I'd teach... to whom? It's hard, isn't it?

"It's..."

I saw Nick while Zem said that.

Other faceted gazes gather at Nick as well.

It's me.

"Right."

"I mean, there's no one but you. Remember, there will be more sorcery to remember."

Even Tiana says so naturally.

"No, well, I am. How about we talk on the assumption that you can tell us? It's easy for me to tell you this..."

"No, you don't mind, do you?

"Is that it?"

When Aida told him in a tone of nothing, Nick leaked a dumb voice.

"It's not like it's a proprietary patent, and hey. I didn't get it on my own, the know-how I was taught."

"I thought you said you were a teacher."

"There he is. He was a senior adventurer when I ran out, and now I don't know where or what he's doing. But they didn't tell me to go out, and they told me to let them know if I found him because there aren't many suited guys."

"Well... you had a lot of strange guys"

Aida's words were a little far from Nick's common sense.

Adventurers are proud of their skills in swordsmanship, martial arts, sorcery, whatever they are. Expertise as an adventurer, such as how to take up work in the guild and walk in the labyrinth, is actively taught to your allies, but not so easily on techniques to fight. More people would be making it secretive.

"Shouldn't you be more worried about what you can do with a burning blade than that? It'll only take a day to remember, but when it comes to using it, it's a different story."

"... no"

To Aida's doubts, Nick shakes his neck to the side.

"... I don't mind a burning blade. Once or twice, if you can jump and move to the same height as Stepping Man, you can handle it."

Are you okay with that?

"Nothing, I don't want to win a light battle. The important thing is to catch them."

Tiana finally laughed at Nick's words, which made sense.

"You're thinking the way you're gonna do it."

"You're not listening!?"

"Because... hey?

All three nod yeah when Tiana looks in turn at Zem, Karan and Kizna.

"That's what they all think!

He said, "Well, I'm counting on you."

"That's right, Zo. I don't think so."

"I don't know what to say."

Aida pounds Nick's shoulder on the face of the face.

"What, if you're an adventurer, you need about one of those guys."

"I think comfort at a time like this denies it."

"I don't know that. More important than that is that you learn magic. Call me a teacher from now on. I'll give you a good rub."

"Damn, you're just busy with me... even though I have to go to Leon's"

As Nick sighed, Zem raised his hand.

"Then why don't we split up second-hand?

"Hmm? What's going on? I mean, I don't need to raise my hand."

"I'm going to go to the construction abandonment zone again."

"Well... I have to find out"

The latent location may be in the construction abandonment area.

I don't have a hand in stationary observation without doing anything.

"Be careful, man."

"But there seems to be no order. Some people are like Nargarva... and it's interesting."

"Oh, wow."

Nick is about to fall behind Zem's evil grin.

Nick's brain was blurred by the way the men abandoned their strengths after just a few words exchanged with Zem.

Zem's demonic charm is real.

"Okay, that's pretty much coming together."

That's what Tiana said, three fingers up.

"Three things:" Nick practises witchcraft, "" Go to Leon's interview and look for clues, "" I'll check the construction abandonment area again. "

"Don't be. Well, the practice and the interview is for me to do the main thing... Karan"

"Un?"

"Come with me to the interview."

"Understood."

Karan nodded instantly, no matter what.

"The rest will be organized by three people: Zem, Tiana and Kizna. How about this?

"Okay." "Okay." "Um, good luck."

The three continue to snort.

Red, who saw it, slapped his hands on his pussy.

"Good luck with that. But starting tomorrow, right? Have dinner and get some rest at night."

Afterwards, it was dinner for all.

Red's cooking was the same as when Nick used to come, a terribly spicy labyrinth chicken.

It stained the bodies of the tired [survivors].
