Chapter 62: Fairy Escort
“I think I’m starting to get it. I’m starting to come up with ideas about how to do this…”
“Yeah, I see. But for me, I’d like to see less mistakes, or at least only as many as you can eat.”
“Sorry about that…..”
“Some of them are charcoal inside. Even Miss Reyes was choking on her food.”
“I saw it. I was there.”
“She said she didn’t want to throw it away……. She must be in need of money.”
The sight of the saint chewing the charred flesh with tears in her eyes, though expressionless, was a sobering one.
The herbs she was growing should be ready to harvest soon, but not yet.
In other words, she has no income yet.
I wondered what kind of life the saint was leading at the moment.
I’ll leave it at that for now.
Today, Hank has been working on making bacon since this morning, and Kunon is checking the records that Hank has been keeping.
“It looks like it’s almost done.”
“Is it?”
While checking some of the smoked meat that had already been finished along with the records, Kunon nodded at the quality of the work.
It will be completed when Kunon accepts it.
“…But when this happens, I’m more interested in you.”
Hank would rather make bacon that he is happy with than one that Kunon can accept.
Such useless obsessions are sprouting up.
“I knew Hank was as good as I thought he was.”
It seems that Hank’s magician’s spirit has finally kicked in.
If there is no request from the outside world, the experiments and researches that a magician does on his own are ultimately to find out what he wants to know and pursue.
I knew this would happen sooner or later, and it was just as Kunon expected.
He thought that if he could use magic as skillfully as Hank, there was no way he wouldn’t get into using it.
He thought that he was the same kind of person who liked to manipulate magic in minute detail.
“It’s okay. You can pursue making bacon until you are satisfied with it. You can make it your hobby. I’ll buy the finished product.”
“Hmmm…… this is seriously bothering me.”
“You’ve learned to make a smelly fire, right? Now can we make a salty fire?”
“Salty fire? What’s the point? Who’s going to check the taste?”
“Bacon and other smoked meats are marinated in a kind of liquid to give them a kind of seasoning. I’m talking about using a salty fire to add that seasoning.”
“Oh, Ooh… I was surprised at the idea of adding smell to the fire, but can you …… add taste?”
“Don’t worry. There are no limits to magic.”
“…… sounds scary when Kunon says that…….”
And Kunon, who smiled happily when he said that, was also a little scary, Hank thought.
He felt that even in the literal sense, he and Kunon had different views on magic.
Perhaps this feeling was the difference in rank as a sorcerer.
Well, whatever the case may be, Hank’s bacon-making achievement may be near.
We finished making bacon in the morning.
The smoked meat was brought to the school cafeteria every day to be made into sandwiches, which were then served as lunch.
Although it was not specifically agreed upon, the four of us had recently started to eat lunch together in the classroom of the saint.
– However, it seems that such a routine will come to an end today and tomorrow.
“Hello, Kunon.”
“Hello.”
” Hey.”
“I’m here for you, Kunon.”
Here I am.
The bill for Kunon’s inappropriate reply the other day had come due.
A total of about a dozen women from different factions came to visit the saint’s classroom.
They were standing in front of Kunon with smiles on their faces, hiding as much as they could from the tense, not to say calm, atmosphere.
They were the women from the three factions that had recruited Kunon the other day.
“Hello, lovely fairies. As you can see, we’re having lunch right now. If you have something to do, can we do it after?”
No, go now.
Go now.
The only thing unusual about Kunon is that he can wait for the girls with a half-eaten sandwich in his hand, but the rest of us are united in our desire to go quickly.
Normally, I would not be able to remain calm when stared at by ten girls standing there with smiles that speak eloquently.
Even if you couldn’t see them, you could at least feel the pressure.
“Today’s failed bacon is not bad. It doesn’t make me nauseous, my body doesn’t refuse to swallow it as a foreign object, and the saltiness is good.
But I do like smoked fish meat, too. Maybe you could try smoking fish a little more often?”
No, the saint seems to be fine with it.
I wonder if this is another reaction to her lack of emotion.
“Fish meat, huh? Fish is also delicious, isn’t it? But I can buy it really only once in a while. It’s hard to get fresh fish around here because we’re not very close to the ocean.
I heard that sometimes magicians who go far away bring back frozen seafood to make some extra money. It’s hard to get fresh fish except in such cases.”
“I see. That’s too bad.”
What are you talking about in such a calm manner?
In this situation.
“Isn’t it possible to farm freshwater fish around here?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. But I’m sure the magicians at this school have at least tried it. Why don’t you look for a report in the library?”
“Kunon, if you find the report and can make it happen, will you help me then?”
“Of course. I’d be happy to do Miss Reyes a favor.”
I don’t know why you can talk like this so openly in this situation.
You can talk about it later.
Just get going…
In the event that you are a sorcerer, you may not be concerned about the content of the conversation, but Hank and Leeya were uncomfortable anyway, so they just kept their heads down and chewed their sandwiches.
“I’m so lucky to have so many fairies escorting me around.”
Lunch was over.
Kunon was happily taken away, surrounded front to back, left to right, and diagonally by the ten girls who had been waiting for him.
The profile of the girls I saw as they were leaving was far from fairy-like, and they seemed to be boiling with quiet anger…….
“Now, I’m going to go back to make bacon.”
“I think I’m going to practice my ‘flying’.”
Hank and Leeya decided not to worry about it, because they were afraid of what Kunon would go through if they did.
This is just what Kunon deserves.
But still, what’s terrible is terrible, so it can’t be helped.
“Let me go look for the report too. It’s kind of exciting.”
The saint was the only one who really didn’t seem to care about any of this.
The men were a little jealous.
“Ha…… this is awesome.”
Kunon let out a sigh.
I was surprised by that, but when I saw the magicians gathered in the room I was led to, I was even more surprised and my heart began to pound.
There were nearly fifty magicians there, including the women who had shown me around.
Most of them were young in age, so they must have all been students, and they were of a special class.
– and the beings that haunt them.
Kunon’s crab.
Hank’s lizards, Leeya’s confetti.
And the halo of the saint, the light of Zeonly.
I’ve seen a lot of sorcerers from this school through my business, and I’ve found a few rules of thumb.
However, there were some here who betrayed the laws I had determined based on the samples I had collected so far.
The first thing that caught my attention was a demonic-looking woman with long black hair hanging down to cover her face.
And a man who is being held in the mouth with both hands on her face.. floating in the air.
It’s a broken law.
I’ve never seen a humanoid creature that looks so much like a person.
And then she walked up to me.
“Hello. Nice to meet you, Kunon Gurion. My name is Geneviese. Hahaha, but please call me Geneva.”
“Nice to meet you, Geneva……. Is there something wrong with me?”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry, but I can’t stop laughing. It’s a habit.”
“Habit …….”
I wondered if it was because of the girl behind her,…
If she thought that she was tying his mouth shut, maybe she was –
“From here on out, I’ll guide you…….”
Geneviese steps ahead of me.
Kunon follows.
There are nearly fifty sorcerers cracking and watching Kunon go by.
In the center of them, three sorcerers were waiting.
One of them must be the master of this castle.
“……”
Another breakdown of the law.
So many samples, it’s really worthwhile just to be here.
Kunon laughed and bent down to greet them.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Kunon Gurion. It’s a great honor to be here.”
