Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

"I want money."

corner of the dining room in the school.

To Efa's sudden confession, me and Amu stare back at her face silently.

Early six months after enrollment, the season turned into autumn.

Receive lectures and perform practical exercises.

The last six months have been that repetition, and I've just finished my second exam this past year.

Me and Efa shouldn't be able to use magic in its original sense, but I laughed at the fact that my skills were better than the majority of my students. Amu was frightened though.

I was getting used to my life here, too.

So.

"Uh... money?

"Yeah."

Efa nods.

"Is there any good way?

"... hey"

Amu, sitting next to him, smashed his flank with his elbow.

And whispered in a whisper.

"Are you really giving Efa a penny?

"I didn't give it to you, though"

"You..."

"Wait, no. Efa's been here as a squire for a while, so she's supposed to be getting paid by her father."

In fact, they sent me regularly along with my living expenses.

I just don't know until the amount.

"Isn't that enough? Do you really care about that area?

"No..."

"Oh, uh, I'm getting paid enough. It's okay, it's okay."

Efa waves and denies it.

"Then why?

"Well... I hope there's a little more to it, I mean..."

Efa mumbles like it's hard to say.

When I looked next door, Amu was staring at me.

Uh, I guess that's what I meant...

I cough one up and open my mouth.

"Um, Efa... I know how you feel. The majority of people attending school are aristocratic or rich children. Some guys would have beaten up slaves on a daily basis at home, especially because I hear that they only treat them to the extent of livestock, especially if they run farms and mines. I can imagine you're too thin."

I go on.

"So I know I want to be free soon...... I need a guardian to free my slaves"

The guardian is obliged to bear part of the compensation or to assist in case of distress when the liberating slave commits a crime.

This is, the point is, a system to keep slaves from being freed without darkness.

In the past, there was a war and the market was flooded with slaves, and the number of liberated slaves also increased, apparently because they were in trouble with their lives committing crimes or rolling dead in alleys.

For similar purposes in the Eastern Roman Empire of previous life, it imposed a limit on the number of slaves that could be freed at once, but here it must have been more serious than some slaves with demonic blood in them.

"A guardian can only be an adult. It doesn't have to be my ex-husband, but I can't ask a bad guy because I'm having a hard time asking him to do what he gave me, and he's going to have control of his property. So... can you wait till I'm fifteen? If you want, I'll be your guardian and set you free."

I became close to Efa because, for one thing, I needed company to help me.

No matter how strong you are, there are only a few things you can do alone.

Besides the strongest umbrella, I wanted company.

Efa is smart and talented as a magician. Although it is a woman, there are many who are independent and successful even women in the empire, which is not an issue.

I'm sure she'll make it.

Then there is no need for Efa to be a slave.

It would be more convenient if you were free.

Then you can sell your favors, so when you grow up, let's do something about liberation -.

And I thought it was a statement.

Efa shook her head after a while of pomposity - like she panicked.

"Uh, no, no. It doesn't mean I want to buy myself back right now."

"Oh, really..."

What was my long commentary?

"A lot of rich kids are good, and it's fun in the dorm, so it's okay."

"I'm sure Efa has more friends than you."

"I'm glad to hear that, but that's how Amu stops stabbing me in the wrong place"

There's something I don't like when people say it's me.

"But thanks. Seika-kun."

"Oh yeah...... but then why do you need money?

"Ugh, uh..."

Efa turns a blind eye like it's hard to say, and then, uh, says it like something comes to mind.

"Seika-kun... don't you think true magic is about money?

I'm confused.

"Uh... what do you mean?

"Here, here. A fairy tale amazing wizard can make all sorts of wishes come true just by waving a wand, right? But with our four-attribute magic, we can't do that no matter how much we study. This can't be real magic!

"Oh... hmm?

"Well, then, what's real magic? It's money! Money can be exchanged for anything. I can't do anything, but I can generally make my wish come true! Yes, money is the real magic!... I think someone doesn't want that!?

Efa's eyes as she rode out and said were slightly pupil-opening, and she was suspicious that she might know what she was talking about.

Me and Amu face each other silently.

"I don't know... I feel the Spirits of Efa crying right now"

"Oh, stop saying that"

"Really. You, you're usually so well looked after. The real magic isn't weird when people say money or anything."

"Ugh..."

Bewitched even by Amu, Efa makes her face nag.

Amu already knew about the Spirit of Efa, by the way.

I told him I could talk to him, and he told him right away.

"But... money is important."

Amu says with his cheek cane.

"If you're a rookie, you'll hear about a dead adventurer. What did you do? You need something first."

"Hmmm...... right"

Even in previous life, there was no place where money existed where it was not important.

Is the area the same even if the world changes?

"You both know what I mean? What do you think we should do?

"No, you can't be scared of him."

And, Amu points to me.

"You're your husband, aren't you? Do as your squire asks."

"Unfortunately, Amu, I don't have any money."

"Why not. At least you're getting more than Efa, right? Are you even playing with women?

"Eh, Seika-kun..."

"He said he didn't. In my case, I need paper to make a spell."

"Money's worth of magic."

"Speaking of which, I would have bought a lot in the city"

Amu groans with his cheek wand and says as Efa remembers.

By the way, it was already revealed to Efa about the human rattle I use.

There's no point in hiding more than Amu knows.

Or I wanted to avoid creating a gradient of information between my bodies as much as possible.

Living cunningly is a goal in this life, but I don't consider myself clever enough to manage different secrets from person to person.

Well, let's just say.

"That's why I want the money as much as I want it"

"I, too, would like to prepare my own, if possible. I wonder if I can make some money."

I'll think about it for a second, but I can't think of it.

When it comes to the side work of poor students, the bookkeeper is a classic.

But Rodney has a high literacy rate in only the school city, and the bookstore is in every tsuji. There's no way you can make money like this.

There will definitely be students who work to earn tuition, but they don't know what they're doing and they don't have handouts.

I gained a lot of wealth in my previous life, but I didn't have any business talent...

"Well... Actually, I'm also in short supply due to impeccable circumstances right now. There's still a little bit to send..."

"You too. Do you know what you're gonna make? I'm not familiar with the city because I'm probably from far away."

"... I know one thing."

And Amu said.

I expect it for a moment, but when I look closely, I have a slightly deeper smile on my mouth, which makes me more and more anxious.

"Both of you, leave it free for the rest of the day."

Me and Efa face each other.

I don't have a choice, do you want me to go out with you? It's for money.
