Chapter 308 – Teaching Magic #2

Yesterday I drank to the point of bursting my stomach, but when I woke up after a sigh of relief, my physical condition was rather healthy.
I was able to start the day in a good mood without suffering from a bad hangover.

‘Alcohol is a medicine for a dreamer!’

It is because of the constitution of a dreamer who gets more energy when he drinks.
If dreamers live on Earth, they will be encouraged to drink and drive.
Drinking alcohol can actually prevent drowsy driving.

Sounds like an absurd story, like a society where sex is always praised.

“Uuuuu… I don’t think I can move… I want to stay here all day.”
“So you should have been drinking in moderation.”
“I’m the type of person who can’t stop running once…”

Rebecca, on the other hand, was rolling around on the bed in my room with her hangover.
I let her rest because she couldn’t even control her body.

“Luke… Can I ask you one favor? Give me a kiss on the cheek.”
“Suddenly?”
“Just do it if you want!”

It was Rebecca’s drinking habit that her aegyo intensified when she was drunk.
Rebecca stretched out her arms toward me like a baby, as if she wouldn’t fall asleep until I kissed her.

“Kiss…!”

To be honest, it’s cute!
It would have been nice if he had overflowed with aegyo like this even when he wasn’t drunk.

I kissed her flushed cheek as she wished.
As I kissed her on the cheek enough to make her side click, Rebecca giggled as if it tickled her.

“I’ll kiss you too.”

She was embarrassed and tried to keep her mouth shut, but Rebecca wrapped her arms around my head to keep me from moving.
In that state, Rebecca has been kissing her several times towards me.

Jjook!

It was Rebecca, passionately kissing her cheeks and forehead, the bridge of her nose and lips, and even the most sensitive earlobes.
She was kissed so much that she blushed.

“Lol…”

Drunk Rebecca is so cute!
Still, I don’t want to drink alcohol if possible.

“Huh… Good night Luke.”
“I don’t have time to sleep.”
“Then I should sleep!”

Rebecca, who had been kissing her like that, lay down on her bed as if she had lost her energy before she knew it, and breathed lightly.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she went off to dreamland.

Is it okay to make a man flutter like this and then go to sleep alone?
I’ll attack you while you’re sleeping!

‘After… He looks tired, so let’s take a look.’

I carefully tugged over Rebecca and tried to meditate in her room.
It’s better to meditate than to wake up someone who is sleeping by making a lot of noise.

It is a mage’s meditation method that clears the flow of mana and raises the condition of the body.
As I sat cross-legged and took deep breaths, I felt the mana in my body circulate smoothly.

‘What should I do today? Was it your turn to review the lessons from Rumi?’

It was time to check in my head what I had to do today.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Smart!

Did Kate come to see me? Bella and Wendy have to go to work, so they won’t be able to come to see me early in the morning.
Of the three, Kate is the only one who can always afford it. While guessing by elimination, I opened the door to the guest room.

“Who are you?”
“It’s me, Luke.”
“…Bella-sister?”

But standing outside the door was Bellatrix in a dress shirt. Bella, her fine ebony hair in two pigtails, waved her hand at me.
The legs showing off the beautiful legs over the black stockings forcibly grabbed my gaze.

“The room smells like alcohol. Who were you drinking with yesterday?”
“I had a small drink with Rebecca. Look at him sleeping over there.”

The current time is 10:00 AM on weekdays.
It was not the time zone for office workers, but the golden hour for whiteheads and freelancers.
Where did the blonde-haired nun go and the sincere Bugilma appeared? Didn’t she specifically hear that she’s taking a vacation from Bella?

She feels like meeting a ghost.
I asked Bella honestly.

“What’s wrong? Sister, today is not your day off. Can I leave the office?”
“I came to see you for work, not for vacation. It was very urgent, so I came to see you in person. Besides, I want to fulfill my personal interests.”

I didn’t know what it meant to satisfy her selfishness, but Bella suddenly pushed her face out and rubbed her cheek with me.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed when her soft cheeks touched.

“Is this fulfilling your selfishness?”
“It’s about replenishing your vitality with skinship. You are my vitality!”
“Sister…”

Bella, who had been rubbing her cheeks, sniffed her breath, and she backed away.
Her appearance had been soaked in fatigue until just now, but it had become full of energy before she knew it.
Replenishing vitality through skinship must have really worked.

“Hmmmm.”

Bella, who cleared her throat as if she was slightly embarrassed, immediately revealed why she had come to see me.

“A very high-ranking person has sent you a nomination request. Maybe it will have a big impact on our adventurer’s guild.”
“A nomination request again? Although I’m at the level to continue accepting nomination requests.”

It is only natural that nomination requests are pouring in as soon as you become a gold-grade adventurer.
There will never be a time when work is cut off and you will starve to death.

“You’re a gold-grade adventurer, so it’s natural. But this time, a nomination request came in from someone who surpasses your imagination, no matter how gold-grade you can imagine. You’ll be surprised to hear who it is.”
“Who?”
“Princess Selma! Princess Selma, who came as the representative of the delegation from Jakarta, nominated you! She’s a noble person like royalty.”

Are you Princess Selma?
Is she the princess who wears fancy clothes?
I haven’t seen her in a while after her previous show of making it rain.
She thought that since the diplomatic talks were over, she would go back to Jakarta and part ways, but that wasn’t the case.

Bella explained to me what quests had been ordered.
It was rare that the adventurer’s guild’s bugilma gave a direct briefing on the quest.

“Princess Selma wants to learn magic from you. Among the Jakartans who came as an envoy, there are people who have the talent to feel mana. Princess Selma also has a talent for mana. I ordered a quest to teach you.”
“Isn’t it too broad to say magic? If I tried to teach it properly, it would waste a lot of time, right?”
“That’s why the princess asked me to teach only basic water magic. Magic to create water droplets and magic to manipulate fluids. When I return to Jakarta, I think I want to somehow spread water magic to the wizards in my home country. “
“They want to solve the famine with magic.”

Now I think we know why Princess Selma doesn’t return to her hometown and she remains in Yoensu. She wants to take the lead and pass on her northern advanced culture to Jakarta.
If wizards learned water magic, they would be able to make enough drinking water.

“Princess Selma said she wants to learn magic from today. She wants to give a lecture this afternoon if you don’t mind. She can use any place in the adventurer’s guild as long as it’s a place to use as a classroom.”

Are you saying you want to learn magic from today?
She is a princess who is full of passion for learning!

Seeing the fantastic water show right in front of her eyes, it was only natural that she wanted to learn magic from me.
Princess Selma was waiting for her diplomatic talks to end.

“I think I can finish the lecture in a short period of time if I teach basic magic. Didn’t I say that all the Jakartans who come to take classes have the talent to feel mana?”
“Yes. They say they are treated as magicians in Jakarta.”

If you have the talent to sense mana, you really only need to teach magic.
I decided to accept Princess Selma’s nomination request.

“Okay. I’ll start class right away this afternoon. Isn’t there a conference room on the 3rd floor of the guild building? I want to use it as a classroom for a while.”
“If it’s a conference room, you can use it as much as you like… But can you hire this sister as a teaching assistant during class? During the class, don’t you think you’ll need someone to help you, like handing out textbooks to Jakartans?”

You want me to hire you as an assistant?
After receiving Bella’s request, I felt quite puzzled.
Of course, the teaching assistant referred to here is not the teaching assistant when playing Yagem.
It meant someone who helped with class, like a teaching assistant at a university.

It’s nice to have someone to help with the class.
But why would Bella bother to take on that role? In other words, was it necessary for a person like an adventurer’s guild’s assistant to do physical labor?

She didn’t even have to ask, and Bella gave her honest reasons.

“I want to take this opportunity to get to know Princess Selma. He wants to get acquainted with the people of Jakarta while helping classes. Jakarta is a place where our adventurer guild has yet to advance. Getting acquainted with the princess is an advantage when expanding business abroad. Will be.”

Bella revealed her entrepreneurial ambitions in front of her.
The adventurer’s guild was a corporation that carried out national activities enough to have branches in various parts of the continent.
Considering that there was an adventurer’s guild branch in the country of beastmen, it was surprising how big it was.

However, even in this world, companies’ desire to expand their business is boundless.
Bella, who was practically a lady boss, wanted to plant the flag of Gala Le Horn in Jakarta as well.

Now I understand why Bella came to see me separately from the morning.

She said, ‘I’m going to use her class as an excuse to create an opportunity to meet the princess.’

There is nothing difficult about it.
If the adventurer’s guild did well, it was a benefit to me too.

“Okay, I don’t have anything special to do, but please stay by my side during class.
“I’m really good at coffee. You can order coffee as you like.”
“It doesn’t suit Bugilma running errands for coffee…”
“This is slavery to capitalism!”

She said the way she looked at Bella shrugging was ridiculous, but she decided to move on because she was cute.

I have to go to class starting today.
You can prepare magic books to use as textbooks until class time.
I have something to leave to Bella.

“See the ‘Water’ magic book on the bookshelf over there? Copy as many as the number of Jakartans coming to take classes and prepare them in the classroom. Especially, the part with the manual description should be copied clearly. Because it’s key.”
“I’ll take it now and make a copy.”

Bella picked up the Water Magic Book from her bookshelf.
Knowing that Rebecca was sleeping in her bed, her steps were cautious.
After taking her magic book, Bella nodded to me and she ran out of the room.

“See you in class, Luke.”

Thud.

The door closed, leaving only me and the sleeping Rebecca in the room.
Despite Bella’s haste, Rebecca showed no signs of waking up, as if she had fallen asleep soundly.

As a childhood friend, I wonder what the princess would think if she found out that she got to learn her magic from me.

‘Wouldn’t he be happy?’

Am I indirectly helping the kingdom of Jakarta where water is scarce?
Rebecca must be delighted, right?
