196. What was crap magic




 In the late afternoon, I took a break from the dungeon today and was relaxing in the living room of the mansion.
 Also relaxing are Celeste and Leia.

 Celeste is taking today off because today was a magic storm, and Leia is of course taking today off with me.

''Don't we have to go to the dungeon today?''

 Celeste asks while munching on the tea cakes Emily has made.

'It's okay. I'm off today. I've decided to make one more mileage rule.
What are the rules?
You know I only work until about 5:00 in the evening.
Basically, yes.

 Celeste nodded.
 He added casually, "The basics are".
 Celeste knows very well that if something is going to break it.

'And on top of that, I've decided to give you two days off a week.
Two days off?
'It's always been a dream of mine to have two days off a week, off the calendar. Before, I was like, 'Saturday and Sunday, what's that good? I was in a state of mind.
'I don't know about you, but it's good to have a break. ...... so I can be with you.
Yeah? What did you say, Celeste?
No, it's nothing.

 Celeste smiled at him.

 Celeste seems to be getting more and more beautiful lately.
 It's not that she's pretty or anything, she's beautiful.
 It's just that she's already pretending to be beautiful, and she's looking maximal.

 It's not just that she's beautiful, but she's also very beautiful.
 Yeah, that's not a very apt description.
 Tiger with wings? Benkei and naginata? XP default wallpaper on the Mona Lisa?

 It's all very subtle, and the last one makes me doubt my own ideas, but it's just amazing.
 The last one is so amazing that I can't help but gawk at it.

"A gun for the master. How about this?
What?

 Leia asked back, surprised when she suddenly opened her mouth.

'What's that?'
It's an answer to what the master thinks. I invented it as a metaphor for a situation where a strong man has a powerful tool and is out of control.
A gun for Mr. Lyota, I think that might be a good idea.
'No, no, no, no, I know what you mean, but for God's sake don't say that out there. We'd be in trouble if some nobleman overheard us.
'Would Mr. Sell have the whole world know about it that day?
So really don't.

 He could really do it, he could really make the term 'gun to Lyota' really popular.

 .......
 .............
 ...................

 They haven't asked me, right?

 He scurried around and out the window.
 Fortunately, there was no sign of the cell.
 It was supposed to be a relaxing holiday, but it turned out to be a moment of no rest.

'Speaking of which, ...... of her, what's Leia's status like?'
What?
You don't know?
Speaking of which: "Speaking of which: ......

 I looked at Leia.
 I realize now that I hadn't checked that.

'I know it's an F-final. What about the rest, Leia?
I don't know.
Then use this.

 Celeste pulled out a portable now board.
 As we speak, I tell Leia to use it.

"Oh, ......

 Leia's stats were a brilliant F as it was.
 The abilities, the drops, everything was a beautiful F.
 And with the highest level being 1, it's like there's nothing more that can be done about it.

'I'm sorry Leia, I'm sorry I forced you to do this.
"? Why is Master apologizing?
Well, that's ...... no.

 Leia doesn't seem to care. On the contrary, he doesn't even understand why I'm apologizing to him.
 That's a sad story, a reaction that seems sad to me because I know the story of a person whose soul was removed.
 But I decided not to care.
 Continuing to do so now will only push my sentimentality to the side.

'It's nothing. More importantly, with this status, you'd better continue to follow me around.
Yes, sir.
Come on, Leia.
I'm the master of the game.
More importantly, Mr. Lyota.
Yeah? What's up Celeste?
'I guess being the highest level 1 means you're like Lyota-san and can eat all the magic fruits.
...... Oh?

 I popped my hand.
 I didn't notice it, I'm a genuine wizard, Celeste, so I would have noticed it immediately.

 A magic fruit.
 It's an item that, when eaten, drops your level by one, but instead randomly learns one magic.

     ☆

 The basement of the mansion, I placed the magic fruit I had just bought in the distance.
 I moved away with Celeste and waited with Leia attached to it.

 After a while, the magic fruit hatched into a haglemono.
 A monster of liquid metal, it quickly transformed into my form.

'Let's go, Leia,'
"Yes.

 I fought Metal Ryota with Leia, who had no expression in her voice (...).
 Just as I attached Leia, they extended their arms to their protectors.

 I performed a Repetition against a monster that copied 80% of the target's power.
 I put on Leia because I wanted to see if the other side would copy my arm, not because I was going to fight with Leia.
 I got that result, so I killed it instantly with Repetition.

 Metal Ryota dropped the magic fruit.
 The magic fruit that Hagremono dropped was two six-pointed stars, compared to the one six-pointed star before the process.

''Come back Leia!

 Pick up the magic fruit and bring Leia back.
 I put the magic fruit in her hand.

"Eat it.
Yes, sir.

 Leia obediently ate the magic fruit.
 The sight of her eating with no expression on her face was surreal.

 After a while, Leia finished the magic fruit.

''I've learned two magics.''
Oh,
You'll learn.

 Me and Celeste looked at each other and nodded at each other.
 Even Leia seems to be able to learn magic if she eats the magic fruit.

'What kind of magic, use it, Leia?'
It's not working.
What?
'The magic I learned is Inferno and Raging Mist. Both can't be used with an MP of F.
Ah, .......
'Oh yeah, most of the magic that MP can't use at F.'

 We stared at each other again, me and Celeste, and this time we could see the disappointment in each other's eyes.

 If you eat the magic fruit, your level will drop and also you won't be able to raise your level at all afterwards.
 That disadvantage has no room for people like me and Leia, whose highest level is 1, to activate it. That's why I made them eat the magic fruit.

 But to begin with, it takes MP to use magic.
 There are a lot of magic that the lowest level of F cannot use.

''I thought it would work.
...... No, this is a story that works.
What?
You can just eat the magic fruit until you learn elementary magic.
''Wait, Lyota, there's one magic fruit now, two million piro, and it's a randomly learned lottery, so it's two million a time.
'Celeste, I've got a good word for you. A colleague of mine used to say it.
Hey, why don't you go to .......

 Celeste is pressurized, I tell her.

'If you pull until you get out, you have a 100% chance of getting out.
That's a bad way to think about people!

 Celeste screams out.
 Through her, I went into town again and procured a new magic fruit.

 The second magic fruit, hatched into a haglemono as well, and killed it instantly with a repetition.
 I feed the magic fruit that was created in this way to Leia.

''I've learned two magic berries.
What's it like?
The End of Calamity.
It's super f*cking awesome magic to hear it! You can't use that, can you?
Yes, sir.
What's the other one?
Revive.
'Revive ...... resurrection magic? This would be great magic, too, so I guess I can't use it after all.
Mr. Lyota: "Mr. Lyota: ......

 Celeste, who had been watching over him, gave him a complicated look.
 Two million piro's worth of gacha, it came off in an instant - a complicated expression on her face for having melted.

 Even if she gives me such a look, I'll keep pulling until it comes out.
 Now it's time for the next magic fruit--that's when I thought.

'I can use it.'
What?
Revive, we're ready.

 Leia said, surprising both me and Celeste.

'You can use it? Isn't Revive amazing magic?
Ah, .......
What is it, Celeste?
'I just remembered the details of the Revive. I could certainly use that.
Is that so?
Yes, it's called scum magic. It's called junk magic. It's the outlier of the two.
...... originally?

 Celeste nodded, and she left the basement for a moment and came right back.
 With a carrot in her hand for some reason.

 Give that carrot to Leia.

'Try it on these.'
Okay.

 Leia used the magic method on the carrot she received, just as she was told.
 Scum magic, Revive.

 It's a momentary thing.
 If you think about what has happened so far (、、、、), it really is a momentary thing.

 Carrots hatched into ...... sleeping slime.

''This!
Revive, it's a spell that revives monsters and hatches them into hagrems from a drop.
...... and that's why it's scum magic.

 Celeste nodded.
 That kind of magic is of little use in this world.
 As far as I know, it's a magic that can only be used for the spectacle of the harvest festival.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

 I'm not going to be able to get out.

''You can use it on Lyota-san.
Yeah. Good job, Leia.
...... I just ate the magic fruit and drew the lottery.
But still, that's great, Leia.
...... Yes.

 Leia nodded with a complicated face, but faintly, with a not-so-perfect expression.

 The magic that hatches monsters into hagremonos in an instant, Revive.
 Like Celeste said, it was a magic that was extremely useful to me.
