The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~
Episode 80: The Luggage Carrier Girl and the Challenge of the 'Zamelites'
The next day.
If I wanted to go out, I didn't have a robe.
When I was washing it, I heard Remy accidentally tore it with his nails.
"... I don't know anymore - Oshi-jun."
"... Martha's lack of instruction. I'm sorry."
Remy and Martha are disappointed.
... It's not that much of an exaggeration.
"I don't care. I'm sorry, Martha, but can you relax?
"Of course it is. But is Yuki going to the Magic Guild today?
"It's not like there's a provision for clothing. Besides, the only person I see is Dr. DeMetel, so you can tell me what's going on."
I decided to go out in my normal clothes.
When there was a cahel in the Baron's house, he told me to look like a bastard and wear it.
It's something Martha kept clean for me, though it doesn't seem aristocratic.
It's nothing to be rude about.
"Then I'm coming."
"... yes no. Oshi-jun."
"He said you don't have to be depressed. Martha sends her regards to Remy. Let him relax today."
"Yes, Yuki."
"So is Martha. I'll make a robe later."
"That's a consultation I can't do"
"I thought I'd say"
"Yes, I thought Yuki knew."
Me and Martha looked at each other and laughed somehow.
Then I waved to the two of them and headed to the Sorcery Alliance.
Today is the "Sorcery Guild," and Mr. DeMetel is supposed to teach you sorcery.
The place is the research building of The Magic Guild.
Once inside the Guild grounds, there is a section lined with towers and buildings.
The research building is a square building in the back. Among them, it seems, is Dr. DeMetel's lab.
The research building was a bright white building behind the grounds.
Dr. DeMetel's lab is behind the third floor, apparently.
You said the room in front was a 'Zamelite' lab.
The Zamelites are the ones trying to take possession of the Beast King Ride we defeated.
As much as possible, I don't want to be involved...
"... Yikes"
When I thought so, something hit my back.
You're out of balance with the impact you hit. - That's dangerous.
I stretched out my hand and held onto the package, which was about to fall.
With the opposite hand, support the girl's body.
"Shh, excuse me. Thank you......"
That's what the girl said, she bowed her head to me... it seemed.
I can't see her face because I'm holding a pile of luggage.
Crates contain books, scrolls, crystals and stone statues.
It doesn't seem possible to carry it alone.
"You can't see before in this state. Are you okay?"
"Daijibu, it is. I don't have enough people today... so I'll do something about it"
"How far does this luggage go?
"… on the third floor of the building ahead, to the warehouse of magic equipment."
The third floor of the building?
I can't help it.
It was a really little girl in front of me.
I feel like I saw it, I'm about ten. Too young for a trainee in The Magic Guild.
Will it be an assistant or a worker?
"You're up to the third floor of that building. I just had some business going that way."
"Oh, really?"
"Then I'll help. I'm not sure around here, so it would be helpful if you could show me around instead."
"Oh, no... I'm sorry."
"Fine, nothing."
I'm used to taking care of children. From previous life.
I sneak up on Boosted.
I got the box from the girl.
"That? Preliminary motion and chanting, you're not, are you? You didn't even use witchcraft, but mildly? You're powerful..."
"I grew up on the border, so I'm used to working hard."
"I remember" physical enhancement "for once, but it cuts so fast... I can't use it at times like this."
"That's dangerous..."
If 'physical strengthening' cuts while the little one is holding a big bag, his arm muscles will be in trouble.
... but being able to use magic means is she a magician?
Trainees in sync with me, I guess.
"Really, I'm sorry to bother you. You were working, weren't you?
"At work?
"Is it not? I thought you weren't wearing a robe meant you were an assistant or an employee of the guild..."
They were thinking the same thing.
Speaking of which, I wore it everyday, too.
He doesn't look like a magician, so he seems mistaken.
... I guess I don't have to make another correction.
Because when you name it poorly, it's going to be a hassle to be an O-O, to be ranked higher or lower.
"At least you're not at work, so you don't have to worry about it"
I walked out with my stuff.
The girl is a small stride, by the way, and follows.
After about five minutes of walking, we got to the target building.
Big, literally warehouse-like building.
"Which room on the third floor should I take this package to?
"It's the room in front. That's where the Target Golem is."
"'Target Golem'?
"It's a golem that makes it magical. Used to experiment with 'Ancient Magic'. The contents of the box are for starting the golem."
"Is that what some things are? That's amazing," Magic Guild. "
"... Aren't you from the guild?
'Cause I just got here.'
"Really? Well, if there's something you don't know, ask me."
The girl slapped her chest, pounding.
She's wearing a big apron.
The clothes underneath are decorative blouses and skirts.
Is it like "clothes that can be dirty" worn by the children of "Village of Fira"?
Do you twintail long hair so that it doesn't get in the way of work?
She talks to me about this warehouse as I climb the stairs.
In the cleaning tool storage area, toilet position. Something about a freshly worn door, etc.
There are friendly people in the "Sorcery Guild" full of nobles, too.
I don't know, I'm relieved.
"This is the room...... sorry. You can't let people in without permission."
"Okay. Leave your luggage in front of the room so you don't have to."
"I'll carry it little by little, so it's okay. Thank you so much."
The girl turned to me and bowed her head deeply.
"May I ask your name?
"Don't tell me that."
"Why not?
"The world of witchcraft has nawabari fights and all that. If you find out that someone you don't know helped you work, it could be a hassle, right?
"... right. Indeed."
The girl nodded with a serious face.
"Well, then, the next time I see you, I'm going to sneak in and give you back."
"Oh. If I ever see you again, I'll sneak up on you."
I waved and broke up with the girl.
Then we headed to Dr. DeMetel's lab.
"Let's start with a basic" Ancient Magic "farewell"
Sitting in front of me, that's how Dr. DeMetel cut it out.
This is the second floor of the research building. It's Dr. DeMetel's lab.
As soon as I broke up with the luggage girl, I came here.
I heard the next room was a "Zamelite" lab, but there was no sign of people.
I guess I'm away.
That's how I got to the lab safely and listened to the teacher's lecture.
"'Ancient sorcery' is activated by chanting in words (yes) and by performing prescribed operations with your fingers. They are based on stone slabs (Sukiban) and scrolls once found by the Church of the Sanctuary. They found the record of the ancient magic civilization and decrypted it to revive the ancient magic."
"Until then, the Church of the Sanctuary was a good group, too, right?
"Well, you are. With the availability of" ancient magic "that specializes in combat, humans have an advantage over demons and other races. That's why countries started competing to hire the 'sanctuary church' guys.
But... as a result, there was a struggle within the Church of the Sanctuary, and at the end of it, there was the Eight Kings War. "
Dr. DeMetel grinned bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.
"Our 'Magic Guild' will not be like them"
"... right"
"─ and it is the rule to tell these stories when teaching 'ancient magic'. I know it's boring to hear what you find out, but I want you to be patient."
"No, it was an interesting story"
It is gratifying to be able to reaffirm that the "Magic Guild" is also the opposite organization to the "Sanctuary Church".
If that's the case, I can safely belong too.
"I'm going to teach you the 'ancient magic' of ice, but what do you want?
"I'd like something to last as long as possible."
"Long time... Hmm"
Dr. DeMetel spread some scrolls on his desk.
You noticed I was watching it, laughing invincibly,
"It's no use peeking. This only depicts pre-activation behavior. The chant is recorded on a different scroll. You can't use ancient magic without both of them."
"Are you separating motion from chanting (yesterday) scrolling to prevent information from spilling?
"You are really quick to understand. Excellent student."
Dr. DeMetel, uh, as I thought,
"'Ancient sorcery' can be likened to bows and arrows"
"On a bow and arrow?
"Bows and arrows wouldn't work without both bows and arrows in place, would they?" Ancient Magic "is also close to it. Create an arrow called Magic by chanting, and release it with a bow called Motion. That's the image."
"That's easy to understand"
"Some senior magicians seem to be studying" ancient magic ", which can be used in unchanging (mundane) and motionless (mundane). Well, we c-class people don't have to think that far."
"I'm a trainee, right?
"But being a Class C sorcerer is no different. Besides, you disabled the Beast King (Lord of) Ride (Beast) and defended the territory of Torrias. I know the horrors of King's Ride, and I'm a respectable magician."
Dr. DeMetel, look at the window.
"I took part in the" King of Spirits Ride "launch experiment. While I was putting that together, it was very, very rough. I found myself changing my mind. I was beyond people… I felt that other people were inferior and boring…"
"... Really?
Is that it?
When I put together The King of the Black, I didn't feel that way.
Does "King's Ride" make you feel different?
"That's really scary stuff. Maybe it's not just a magical weapon."
"I know that"
"Either way, you fought and won. I appreciate that achievement. At least you are."
That's what I said, Dr. DeMetel stood up.
"Now let's begin teaching 'Ancient Magic'. If you want magic that can fight for a long time," Iced Ethereal Needle. "
"" Iced Ethereal Needle "? What kind of magic?
"It's 'ancient magic' that strikes out countless needles. It's not as powerful, but it has a wide range of effects and high freezing capacity. Because it consumes less magic, it can also keep firing for longer periods of time."
"Nice. Tell me that."
"Are you sure? Some of the more destructive sorcery?
"From now on, I'm going to explore" Elusion, "right? Then I think it would be good to fight for a long time and have good application and magic."
"I don't know. Research suggests that a large number of magicians use it to besiege their enemies… so-called mass combat magic. It's not personal, is it?
"That's great."
"... I don't mind if you do. Okay, let's get ready. I've reserved a golem for the target. I'll bring him in now."
Golem for target......?
Speaking of which, the girl earlier was carrying the tools to activate the 'target golem'.
Really? Was she an associate of Dr. DeMetel?
"What she was carrying earlier was an item arranged by the teacher, wasn't it?"
"No, I don't remember making arrangements for the item?
"... Huh?
Me and Dr. DeMetel, when we slapped each other at the same time...
Don't, don't!
Suddenly, there was a knock in the lab.
"Class C Sorcerer DeMetel Where do I want to tell you something!
"... who?
"I'm Flora-Zamel, D-Class Mage."
My voice, it sounded familiar.
When Dr. DeMetel opened the door, there was...
There was a twin-tailed girl, wearing a magician's robe.
She shakes her red hair and looks at Dr. DeMetel.
And then, look at me...
".................. eh"
I raised my voice like a surprise.
I said a sneak greeting. As promised.
Behind Flora-Zamel, there are men.
This is Alek-Keirth, of the Marquis Keirth family.
"... as His Highness Salvia's 'ex-combatant knight'. From E-class sorcerer Alek-Keirus, C-class sorcerer DeMetel. Which and Yuki. How would you like to share"
Instead of Flora-Zamel, the stiff girl, Alek-Keels starts talking.
... Has this man resigned from the Guardian Knight of Princess Salvia?
Besides, he was a C-class sorcerer, and he became an E-class sorcerer.
"DeMetel, which is the requested 'Target Golem Reservation', in fact, it was confirmed that our 'Zamelite' Flora had booked it first. Therefore, it is not available today."
"Such an idiot!
Dr. DeMetel screamed.
"Yesterday, when I applied for an appointment, we shouldn't have talked about that"
"Please understand"
"... under the authority of the Class A sorcerer, Mr. Zamel, have you twisted? Is that the 'Zamel' way!?
"If you are dissatisfied, go to the guild's office."
Alek-Keirth replied boringly.
"Mr. Flora-Zamel, as his granddaughter, is the one who will inherit the trail of Mr. Zamel, a Class A sorcerer. This is how I came to greet you, even though you don't need it better. And that will be the end of the story."
"Are you okay with that? Flora-Zamel"
"... my party is an exploration of 'Elusion' that begins in twenty days, who aspires to the lowest level"
Flora-Zamel turned her tiny body against her.
"That's all we achieve. We, the Zamelites, change the history of the Sorcery Guild. It's more natural that you give way, isn't it? Is it not? Class C magician DeMetel... there, magician."
─ ─ After all, he declared that without looking at me.
