Chapter 181 – Wizard’s Beginning (1)

#

Before going back to the mansion, I sat down at the table and took a break. Yes, you deserve a break. Listening to Rize’s words made it seem like she was going through a storm.

“Nothing is easily solved.”

“Still, didn’t it seem like there was a way? I wouldn’t have accepted it for nothing.”

As Yuri said, Rize seemed to have a plan, but somehow I got an ominous feeling. In Rize’s eyes when she said she would do something… I could see greed. Although it was very subtle. It was obviously greed.

“I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to do. I feel like I’m going to get caught up in something very annoying.”

“Aren’t you glad that it’s over? I’m coming here a little late. You said you would have been taken to the training center.”

“Right…”

Okay. If I made a mistake, I could have been dragged back to the training center. If I had taken a little more time giggling with Lenny, it might have really happened.

That’s kinda awful If he was forced into the training center, he would n’t be able to relieve his heat his… No matter how he handled it alone, he would have to go to the army again. To come to another world and re-enlist! It’s so awful!

I shuddered with goosebumps, but Ariel opened her mouth.

“Ugh. I wonder if it’s okay to talk about this now.”

“What’s the matter?”

“When can I… ?”

Yuri and Lenny’s heads turned around at Ariel’s words, but Ariel just continued talking nonchalantly.

“I remember that it was originally yesterday. Of course I don’t think you meant it, but somehow it feels like it keeps getting delayed.”

“Ummm… That, yes. Right.”

Come to think of it, I have to do it with him.

Come to think of it, there were so many things I put off. I have to amplify it with Ariel, I have to solve Niel’s problem, and I have to train the holy sword guy. Even the Holy Sword was practically in a state of neglect because it could not be put off. That guy, I don’t know if he’s doing well.

Anyway, rather than doing the mission of the goddess or the clan, I should finish the work I have already done. Then once…

“Great. Then go back and do it right away.”

“Yeep.” “What?”

“… It is.”

Ariel nodded her head indifferently, but my kids looked pretty displeased.

“What’s the matter?”

“… No, nothing.”

When she pretended not to know, Yuri evaded her words. What about Lenny? Lenny’s been low pressure ever since she came out of her witch’s house, but now she’s digging herself into the ground.

Mmm. Troublesome troublesome What should I say, I feel like I’m cheating right in front of my eyes, so it’s a very strange feeling. If she did it out of sight, she wouldn’t have felt this subtle feeling.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to go back now? There is no reason to delay any longer.”

Ariel said that and she got up from her seat first. Attitude as if there was nothing to worry about. Okay. You shouldn’t be acting like you’re being stabbed here. I’m a little sorry, but it can’t be helped.

“…”

The way to leave the guild and return to the mansion without a word. It’s suffocating. I feel like I’m suffocating!

Ariel seems carefree, Lenny is digging the ground just for the atmosphere, and Yuri… Yuri looks like she is thinking about something. What are you thinking with such a serious expression…

“Brother. Wait a minute.”

“Yes?”

“Go back first. My sister and I have something to talk about for a while.”

“…Yes?”

Yuri grabbed Lenny with an expressionless face. I felt a little pricked by her words. Why are you like that? No way?!

I pulled the glass and whispered into my ear.

“Hey, no matter how much you don’t like it, are you saying you’re going to run away right now?!”

“… What are you talking about?”

Yuri stars at me as if it is absurd. Ugh, isn’t this?

“Then why?”

“Did you tell me? She’s talking to her sister her. And from now on, you said you were going to do it? I know you’re going to do that in broad daylight, but being next to him makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”

“Is that so… “

That, that’s right I usually do it at night, so I can ignore it while sleeping, but since I do it in broad daylight, it’s going to keep bothering me. So would you rather go out?

“…When will you be back?”

I had no choice but to ask a little pathetic question. A stupid question, as if suspecting a lover of cheating. Yuri laughed, as if seeing me become a jjuguri was funny.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ll be back before dinner. I have things to talk about and things to see. That will take some time.”

After saying that, Yuri pushed me away and crossed Lenny’s arms.

“Sister. Go. Leave that person alone and let’s go on a date.”

“What?”

Lenny let out a stupid moan and was dragged away by Yuri. Sometimes he looked back and gave me a look that seemed to ask for help, but I couldn’t help but stare.

“…Then shall we go back too?”

“I will.”

We moved on without speaking.

I’m curious. I’m very curious.

What the hell is Yuri trying to say by dragging Lenny away? I don’t think it’s a good story for me if you’re trying to talk in a place where I’m not. Would you like to leave me?

A. There can be no such thing. But walking around like that with two beauties is something that draws a lot of attention. What if a guy like Golden Sun approaches them? What if you make a donation?

Ooh, just thinking about it makes my stomach spin!

“Turn it off…”

“… Are you listening?”

“Yes?”

This. I was too engrossed in useless imagination. I feel like Lenny’s delusion is spreading.

Ariel furrowed her eyebrows very subtly. The movement was so minute that she couldn’t tell unless she looked closely. It’s obvious that this guy thinks he’s astonishing and pathetic! Shit!

“…Sorry. Can’t hear What?”

“I asked if I could cooperate with the experiment.”

“Yes? What experiment?”

Isn’t there a slime you handed over?

“Why?”

Ariel began to explain with a grave expression.

“I don’t know what they did to the slime, but the concentration of the drug was too high. If used as it is, it seemed to work more like an estrous agent for mating than a stimulant.”

“That, is it?”

It’s a proestrus for mating. Hearing these words from the mouth of a beautiful elf girl makes me feel very strange.

“So I made a few prototypes with lower concentrations, and I’m asking if you could cooperate with the test use. I tried using it on my body, but I wonder if there is a difference between men and women. From what you said, the main buyers are likely to be mostly men.”

…For a moment.

“You tried that?!”

“Isn’t it natural? Then who else can I test?”

“No…”

It reminds me of Ariel taking a test. Getting entangled in the pink slime and ruining this expressionless face…

“Why did you stop?”

“Oh, no. Nothing.”

“Sage Time”!

“So, how is it?”

“Well…”

Ariel asked again. Prototype testing is probably quite important. However…

“No, I don’t think it will.”

Because I have the performance of a crusader. Things like estrous pills are just automatically turned off.

Ariel blinked at her as if she didn’t know how to say no, then looked at her demanding an explanation.

“I am completely immune to that kind of effect. Stimulants, stimulants, whatever, won’t work for me.”

“The reason is that?”

“Because most of my ability triggers are sexual acts. If you are easily influenced by such drugs, you might end up misusing your skills, right? I think that’s why there is such a safety device in place… “

“…Right.”

Ariel subtly furrowed her eyebrows, as if she hadn’t expected this to happen.

“To think that the Goddess even arranged such a thing. It seems the goddess favors you quite a bit.”

“…Favourite.”

Come to think of it, it seems that it has been quite a while since she communicated with the goddess. She said, these days she doesn’t have much use for skill suggestions. She hardly ever grumbles at the goddess. Before, if I said anything, he would get angry with static electricity. I didn’t miss that time slightly.

Later on, if you curse at me, I even turned a macro that responds automatically. Can that be considered a favor? If you only react to me, you can see it as interest, but it’s a bit like affection…

“But this is difficult. I don’t know if it can be marketed if it can’t be tested on men.”

Should I submit a request to the guild? Ariel murmured softly. She’s an experiment on men. I had a sudden thought.

“I don’t have to. Doesn’t it just have to be male?”

“Yeah, but… ”

“That’s all right. I know someone.”

The silver tier who asked me to sell Viagra. What was your name? Will…Mushy talking about Will. You could use that guy as a lab rat.

“He’ll probably be the first to run if you ask him to experiment with reagents. Did he make such a fuss in the guild to sell it to him?”

At my explanation, Ariel put on a more comfortable expression.

“Then I’m glad.”

“The next time you go to the guild, you can ask them to tell you. But does the experiment end? I brought it up, but I have no idea how to sell it.”

“That…”

We went back to the mansion while talking about the plan to sell Viagra, an aphrodisiac slime and pseudostimulant.

When I arrived at the front gate of the mansion, I saw a strange sight. The holy sword guy was sitting alone in the corner of the flower bed.

“Hey guy, what are you doing over there?”

“If you go, you won’t know. Why are you standing there?”

“Uh, uh… “

But I couldn’t take a step forward.

Because the Holy Sword looked very lonely. It’s like a lonely orphan playing in the dirt with no one to play with…

Ugh.

Guilt creeps up. I couldn’t share my daydreams or polymorph because I was busy.

But that guy doesn’t complain about that… Even now, he doesn’t ask people to play with him, he spends his time alone…

There was a significant difference between the personality of the holy sword I had in mind and the current appearance.

…. I’ll have to take care of that guy from now on.

I took a reluctant step toward the holy sword.

“Hey. What are you doing there?”

“…”

The Holy Sword didn’t answer, just looked down at a corner of the flower bed and scratched a branch.

This. It looks like a real loner playing in the dirt! I feel like crying!

“Hmm. Hmm. Hey, are you okay? Hey, do you want to go in? Today is…”

“Ah. Don’t step on it.”

“Yes?”

“There are ants passing by. Don’t step on it.”

“…Big.”

Uh, what to do Has this guy made an ant his friend now? Because I can’t play alone!

I cleared my almost cracked voice.

“Why dogs and ants?”

“It’s amazing.”

“What?”

“Looking at this gives me a strange feeling. Like these insignificant mortals. It’s strange and cute to see them wriggling while struggling to live the pitiful life of eating bugs off the ground…”

“…”

“Looking at this, I feel like I’m realizing again that I’m superior…”

This, this guy. Are you saying something scary?! Wasn’t it fun to actually look at ants instead of playing in the soil of a loner or orphan?

“Uh, um. Okay. Have fun. Come in before it’s too late.”

“…”

Leaving aside the holy sword that still silently focused on the ant, I returned to the mansion with Ariel.
