Chapter 67 – Wandering Mage Luke #4

You’re going to pay for the show in exchange for magic?
I was taken aback by Kate’s gaze staring right into my face.
There is nothing difficult about showing boiling magic.
But is it really worth the money to show the magic?
It’s not like there’s a magic show on the street. If I had received 1 copper each time I used magic, I would have already become rich.

“It’s amazing, I can’t stand it! How the hell did you leave stains on the ceiling?”
“Hmm.”

Looking at Kate, I suddenly remembered Wendy’s words.
That’s what Wendy told me at the gymnasium.
Didn’t I say it’s not a very common opportunity to see a wandering mage’s training?
Besides, Kate offered to pay, but I had no reason to refuse.
You can earn money while practicing magic, and it’s a lot of money.
I suddenly started seeing Kate as a golden piggy bank spewing out her money.

“I’ll show.”
“Wow! What a magic show!”

Clap clap clap clap! Kate clapped her hands enthusiastically from her seat.
His ability to lighten the mood was amazing.
Thanks to that, I was able to gain confidence in showing magic.

‘It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of ‘ it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Don’t you just ask for a refund if I disappoint you?’

Refund!
Perhaps that blonde nun would ask for a refund of the admission fee.
I couldn’t help but think of a way to satisfy Kate.
2 Coopers equals two strawberry pies.
This blonde piggy bank cannot be neglected.

“Wait a minute.”
“Yes.”

After thinking about it, I came up with a suitable method. It wasn’t a very flashy show, but at least it was a way for Kate to feel the rising water temperature.

“Hey, would you like to put your palms together and listen? I’m thinking of putting water in your palm.”
“My palm? Why?”
“So you won’t be able to immediately feel the temperature of the water rising. My magic takes some time. It’s a magic I just learned yesterday, so it’s hard to make the water boil in an instant.”
“Ooh.”

Kate held out toward me with her palms together. With her on her knees, she took such a pose, and she couldn’t help but wonder.
Instead of magic water, I wanted to spray the sticky white liquid on my palm.
For some reason, it feels like her hips stands out more because she is on her knees.

“What do you think, Mongma-sama? Your eyes are strange?”
“Uh, huh? Thinking of spraying water.”

I immediately came to my senses and splashed water on Kate’s palms.
Of course, it was the magic water created by the sign of the hand.
Kate trembled briefly as the water touched her hand, as if she were cold.

“Tea, it’s cold.”
“My water is like that. Stay still as it is. You can’t spill it on the floor.”
“Don’t spill it on the floor? You’re saying something a little.”
“Little?”
“I’m sorry.”

What’s wrong
Was it written by a lewd devil? This bitch eats me.

I made a handshake and poked five of my fingers into Kate’s palm.
Soon, the cold water splashed onto my fingers. The area of ​​​​the skin in contact with the water was small, but it did not matter. That’s because the water Kate was holding was also small.

“Boiling-.”

The moment I briefly recited the starter word.
Soon the water began to heat up on Kate’s palm. Because the water was very cold, the rise in temperature was inevitable. Kate looked at the water in her palms with a look of surprise.

“Well, the water really warms up!”
“Isn’t it amazing? I’m also curious.”
“Why is Mongma-nim so amazing? He’s a wizard.”
“Is there a law not to be surprised that you’re a wizard? You’re a nun and you reveal money. It’s something like that.”
“It’s similar, right? You’re pretending to be comparing it and swearing at me, aren’t you?”
“Do you have any paranoia?”

As we were talking, the water in our palms was warm enough to warm our skin.
How much time has passed 3 minutes? It was just a time to learn cup noodles.

For three minutes, Kate just stared at the water with her surprised eyes.
She sat still, perhaps unaware of the pain in the arm she was holding up. She seemed to be quite amazed that the temperature of the water rose in real time.

“Oh. It’s getting a little hot now.”

“Ugh. Mongma-nim? It keeps getting hotter?”

“Momo, Mongma-sama! I think I’m going to get burned!”

The moment Kate started to make a fuss about her, I lifted her fingers from her palm.
I thought it was just the right temperature to enjoy a bath, but are the people of this world weak against heat?
Kate hurriedly flushed the water into her basin and blew her breath into the palm of her hand.

“Whoop-! Whoop-!”
“Oh, sorry. Did I turn the temperature up too high?”
“…Joe, it was a bit hot! But it wasn’t bad. I’m paying money to see it, but it’s better to spread the magic hotly. If possible, I wanted to see the water boiling.”
“Shall I show you that too?”
“Yes!”

I did the trick by filling a small basin with water. As time passed and the water in the basin began to boil enough to spit out steam, Kate finally put on a satisfied expression. She then took her purse out of her arms and handed me her coins.

A total of 22 coopers!
It was a reward for filling ten holy water bottles with water and performing a small performance of boiling magic. I was able to pack a 22 Cooper in my arms. Fortunately, Kate’s eyes were not looking in the direction of the money, so it seemed that she had no intention of demanding a refund.

Thank you, golden piggy bank.
All your money will be exchanged for equivalent strawberry pie.
I was thinking about snacks, and suddenly Kate called her.

“It’s amazing, Mongma-nim.”
“What’s great?”
“This magic called boiling. I heard it was a new magic learned yesterday? But there are very few mistakes. It’s definitely different from other wandering wizards.”
“The temperature rises just by touching it. There’s no reason to make a mistake with magic.”
“Is that so? Is it different from what it looks like? Is it easy magic? But most wandering wizards make a lot of mistakes even with easy magic? I’ve seen wizards burn their clothes with magic flames.”
“It deserves it. Bronze-class wandering wizards don’t seem to have any skills.”

Now I could sympathize with Kate’s words to some extent. Yesterday at the gymnasium, I clearly confirmed the true nature of the Bronze Wandering Wizard. I’m probably well above the bronze average, even on the face of it.

“Well, I haven’t learned magic in particular. I don’t know exactly how dreamy magic is. But I think the magic that raises the temperature of the water will be quite useful.”

Kate kept her mouth shut, her expression contemplating something on her. Before she knew it, she loosened her kneeling position and spread her legs out. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the smooth legs wrapped in jet-black stockings at a leisurely pace.

‘I’m done with everything now, but I’m not going back to church?’

She filled up water and showed magic.
But Kate didn’t seem to want to go back to church yet. She could have noticed and kicked it out, but I didn’t.
Because my legs in stockings are fucking hot.
The moment her eyes, which had been glancing at her, slipped up onto her thighs.
Kate’s voice echoed in my ears.

“Mong Ma-.”
“Huh.”

Write, did you catch my lewd gaze?
I straightened my posture as I sat on the bed panting.
Fortunately, Kate didn’t seem to notice my gaze.

“I remembered! The place where you need Mongma-nim’s water magic.”
“…Where do I need my magic? Where is it?”

Kate answered my question feigning composure.

“The church-. We, Gwangmyeongseong Church, need Mongma’s magic.”

Church?
Of course, the church will need water, but I don’t know where else to use it. It was not easy to guess because the range in which water could be used was so wide.

“There is an important event at church tonight.”
“An event that requires water?”
“It’s a foot-washing ceremony! It’s an event where priests from the church wash the feet of the believers. Of course, not ordinary believers, but distinguished guests who donated a large amount to the church.”

It’s family-style.
Familiar words popped out of Kate’s words. It was an event that was often held at the church on Earth. Was it an event where church members washed each other’s feet?
Kate opened her mouth as she let out her smile.

“You can’t wash with cold water for the distinguished guests who donated a lot. So on a day like today, you have to keep boiling the water from the afternoon onwards. So that you can prepare warm water to wash your feet.”
“So today must be a busy day? But why are you hanging out here?”
“Because I’m not good enough to boil water. Anyway, the important thing is that Mongma-nim’s magic is needed. The junior nuns are having a hard time boiling water in the furnace. Please help my cute juniors-.”

Of course, Kate wasn’t asking me to help her bare-mouthed. Kate put her hand in her purse and heard the clinking of her coins. It was the sound of magic money that made her feel good just by hearing it.

“How about 20 copper per day?”
“20 Cooper.”

I was swayed by the idea of ​​20 Cooper, but I didn’t immediately accept Kate’s offer. Because I remembered the horrible commotion that had happened the other time I had visited the church.
It seemed that the church people couldn’t stand the overwhelming presence of my dream horse.
Do you feel as if you are spilling a royal spirit around you?

“But what if church people see me? Aren’t they casting out demons?”
“It’s okay! I just need to sneak in and out through the dog hole in the wall. The Kwangmyeongseong Church in Yoensu is in the palm of my hand.”
“What if I run into church people?”
“Then you can just go out again. What do you care so much about? After all, there are only naive people because of the doctrine. Besides, there are many juniors who obey my words.”

Kate’s tone was that there was nothing wrong with her. She sure recalled her work the last time she visited the church, but she seemed to have some influence in her church.
Does it feel like a late-aged sergeant who ate enough to eat his spare time?
Hiding around like a ghost during quests was the cloaking of the late sergeant.

‘Is it somehow believable? As for the church…’

To heat water used for foot washing.
It was an opportunity to earn money while practicing magic.
I accepted Kate’s offer without much hesitation.

“Okay, let’s go to church. You lead the way.”
“Yep-!”

As time passed and it was afternoon, I set out for church, with Kate in the lead. It was my second visit to the church as a dream horse. It wasn’t that I couldn’t trust Kate, but I couldn’t help but be a little nervous.

*

30 minutes after leaving the inn.
Kate, who was walking in front of her, suddenly opened her mouth. Her spirited appearance at the time of her departure was she who disappeared like a lie before she knew it.
Kate looked at me with her wavering eyes.

“Mo, Mr. Mongma. I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“I think we should walk a little further apart.”
“Right.”

Kate’s words to stay away never hurt me. Because I strongly sympathized with her words. It was because the eyes of the citizens on the street looking at me and Kate were unusual.

“The incubus is chasing the nun.”
“Sister is staring at her ass with sharp eyes.”
“That dreamer’s eyes are unusual. Are you thinking of attacking the nun from behind?”

Citizens whispering while looking at me.
The combination of the blonde nun and the golden sun incubus was great enough to attract aggro in a wide area. Especially because of Kate’s beauty, men couldn’t help but keep an eye on me. Was it a sign that he would get rid of me and work on Kate?

“Sigh.”

I sighed and distanced myself from Kate. It’s odd, but even though we went to church together, we had no choice but to pretend we weren’t together. Kate bowed her head from a distance and made an apologetic gesture to me.
I don’t think Kate has anything to apologize for.
It’s just that the composition of the incubus chasing after the nun was amazing.
It’s no wonder that it’s used as a regular material by Hitomi.
So, while keeping a delicate distance from Kate, I was walking towards the church.
A familiar voice came from somewhere.

“Luke! Where are you going?”

Someone called me behind my back.
I turned around and realized Rebecca was there.
Rebecca was staring at me with her thick paper bag in her hand.

“Church.”
“Church? Why are you going there?”

The moment I try to explain the situation.

“Mongma-sama-! What are you doing not following me quickly!”

Kate shouted from a distance, looking in my direction.

“Yes?”

At that very moment, Rebecca looked at Kate, who had called for me. At the same time, Kate looked at Rebecca with her eyes wide open. The eyes of the two women collided silently in the air.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but panic.
I heard a voice calling my name at the same time.

“Luke-?”
“Mo, Mr. Mongma.”
