74 – After the Battle (2)

Our lunch, as usual, was a sandwich.

If possible, I would have taken her to a restaurant and bought her some expensive food, but I couldn’t ignore the efforts of Shunika’s mother, who packed the lunch herself.

The dining area is a bench outside the academy that is not well known.

It is a hidden spot that we often visit because there are few people.

Even the people who had been following me endlessly at the gymnasium had left their seats before I knew it.

Thanks to that, I was able to have a comfortable meal time.

“Then, are you going to continue attending the academy during vacation?”

“huh! I want to train my swordsmanship a bit more, and I want to play with Satchel and Luen… .”

Schnika’s words faded as she went backwards.

It’s a rare phenomenon that Shunica’s voice gets smaller… .

Anyway, after the last gate exploration, it seems that she also had a change of heart.

Originally, Schnika rests at home during vacation and doesn’t even go to the academy…

Seeing how he has been going to and from the training ground lately, I can clearly see that he wants to improve his skills.

“Then see you every morning at the gymnasium. If nothing else happens, I’ll continue to help.”

“really? Is that okay?”

“uh. I also have to be at the academy this vacation because of the alchemy shop business, and I have nothing to do in the morning… It’s also a training that helps me too.”

“Thanks, Satchel!”

With a voice filled with joy, Schnika suddenly came to me.

With a quick response, he raised the sandwich he was holding in his hand and finally accepted the hug.

no.

Why are you hugging me so suddenly?

These days, I feel like the girls around me keep giving me hugs, using coincidence as an excuse.

The fact that they have a certain liking for me…

Unless I’m an idiot, I know.

But I’ve never allowed skinship like this so naturally.

It wasn’t long before Schnika fell from me in a flurry.

“omg. Mi-sorry.”

“are you okay.”

Shunika, when you drink, you do more than this… .

Besides, seeing Schnika’s face redder than an apple, I didn’t even think to push her.

I don’t have a mirror, but my face is probably similar.

“Oh no! Mom and Dad will spend a long time playing with Satchel and Ruen!”

Shunica suddenly changed the topic in a panicked voice.

However, I raised my head to a story that was quite tempting.

“Me and Luen?”

“huh! I want to see my closest friends and eat something delicious… It’s a long time to play when it’s time for vacation.”

“Do your parents know us?”

“of course. I say it every time I go home.”

but.

Due to Schnika’s lively and communicative personality, there’s no way she wouldn’t have talked about us at home.

Even if Shunika has a good affinity, in the end, my best friends are me and Ruen.

I smiled and nodded.

“good. Let’s take some time But I don’t know when Luen will be available.”

“Why Ruen?”

“He’s quite busy during vacation, too.”

Her father, whom Luen had come to the Empire to find.

When I asked about him the other day, he said that, as expected, he hadn’t found his father yet.

In a way, it is natural.

Finding a commoner man who immigrated from a foreign country a long time ago with only his external characteristics and old name is not an easy task.

Whether you live in Felix, or in another territory within the Empire.

Is the name the same or has it been changed?

What kind of work did you do, did you have a separate family in the empire… .

I came to study at the Imperial Academy to find my father, but since I was separated when I was very young, there was too little information about him.

So, after entering the academy, Ruen.

Whenever the vacation of each semester comes,

I had been searching for my father and looking for information about him.

That’s already the third.

Even during the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she was always looking for her father.

“I’m probably on the eastern side of Felix now. He told me to stop by the alchemy shop when he gets back, so let’s ask him then.”

I’m secretly worried about traveling all over the empire to find my father alone…

Anyway, she is also a worthy aspiring warrior.

In the undergraduate school, she has an outstanding talent to the point of being the top of the grade, and it is difficult for most ordinary people to touch her fingertips.

As long as she entered the gate and was not attacked by demons, there was almost no danger to her as a mage.

Of course, there is a possibility of being scammed because there are so few people around.

But if that happened, I was going to somehow find and catch the impostor.

“Are you okay?”

“what?”

“Looking for Ruen alone. Shouldn’t we go too? It’s vacation.”

“You’ve been looking for yourself all this time. And even if it’s just a friend, getting too deeply involved in your personal life is a no-brainer. Ruen might be uncomfortable.”

It is understandable that Schnika’s concern with an uneasy expression is understandable.

She must be worried that Ruen, who is not good at interpersonal relationships, will be scammed.

But Luen is also an adult.

When it comes to what he has been aiming for and has been running for, he has the right to handle it himself.

Interfering too deeply could actually hurt her.

“Anyway, let’s talk about it when we get back to Ruen, and let’s all go to Shunika’s house. It’s gonna be fun.”

“huh! Mom will love it too.”

I haven’t gone yet, but I’m already looking forward to it.

Serving food from Shunika’s mother, who works as a chef in the imperial palace?

This is pretty unbearable.

“ah. Schnika, and this.”

“… ?”

I put down the sandwich I was eating for a while and took out a bastard sword with luxurious patterns from my magic bag.

It’s been a while since I made it, but it was a gift that I handed to her only today.

[Black Twister]

-Type: Arms (enchanting)

-Enchanter: Sacher Phillip

-Possessed magic: Tempest (Luen)

– An enchanting magic tool containing the battle magic [Tempest] on a jet-black bastard sword. By injecting mana and slashing the air, you can create a wind like a violent typhoon. If the user’s magical power is insufficient, the corresponding magic may not be activated.

A black bastard sword, [Black Twister].

After mastering enchanting perfectly, it was one of the gifts I made for my friends.

It was a collaboration that Ruen took a few days to make before leaving for East Felix.

Enchanting magic tools are expensive, and the amount of time and effort spent is close to twice that of other magic tools…

As such, I wanted to make it a gift to deliver to more important people.

It’s not a magic tool that I sell or make for myself as usual, but a magic tool for others.

The result of that was Karin’s [Lightning Rapier] and Schunika’s [Black Twister].

Thanks to this, they were able to further enhance the quality of their battles using weapons.

He produced a large number of [Magic Scrolls] and presented them to Luen, Delia, and Professor Meline.

[Magical Scroll] is one of the consumable magic tools that can be created through enchanting.

A magical tool that allows one-time magic to be used through enchanting on a scroll extracted from grinding mana stones.

Enchanted magic is generally less powerful than the magic that a hero uses…

It has the advantage of being able to use magic that cannot be handled by oneself and being able to use it in various ways depending on the situation.

Perhaps because of that, the three people who received the [Magic Scroll] as a gift seemed generally satisfied.

Morphine is… Maybe it’s okay because they pay a lot.

“Wow… Aren’t these very expensive?”

“That’s true, but it doesn’t matter because I made it for Schnika.”

“oh my god… It’s so amazing.”

Schunika looked around at the [Black Twister] with twinkling eyes.

Although she is lacking in the condensation of magical power, she is not a hero who lacks in the manifestation of magical power itself.

That’s why an enchanting magic tool that can create a single combat magic with magic injection alone would be of great help to her.

“Thanks, Satchel!”

After looking around for a while, Schnika came to me with a happy face.

… Again like this, again.

<Moonlight Night>

With a cigarette in my mouth, I stared at the neatly designed signboard of the Alchemy Shop.

It’s finally today.

After quitting the <Academy Pension Shop>, my first new alchemy shop business.

The construction, which had been going on for several months, was finished a few days ago, and today was the opening day of the store.

“How are you feeling, senior?”

Next to her, Delia kept her seat.

Light green hair down to her shoulders shines and seems to add to her atmosphere.

Now I can barely see the old puppy-like appearance… .

“Just, what… I’m a bit bewildered.”

In fact, I still don’t really get it.

At the suggestion of the faculty, I was entrusted with the alchemy shop, and I only sold my magic tools through the passing words of the head of the department.

That it has grown to this extent, and that I even came to own an alchemy shop with my name on it…

I still couldn’t believe it.

“You may like it more. It’s because the seniors did well.”

“is it?”

“Yes.”

I was fed up with Delia’s words and laughed.

Maybe it’s because Delia’s ‘senpai is amazing!’ I haven’t heard in a while.

She had an extraordinary talent for elevating others without degrading herself.

Although the target was limited to me.

I roughly threw away the cigarette I was smoking and stood up.

Then, he slowly opened the door of the tightly closed alchemy shop.

“Let’s go in slowly. We need to prepare for opening.”

“Yes, senior!”

It was the moment when sales of <Moonlight Night> finally began.
