Chapter 32: Solomon’s Gift
Stars were shining in the calm sky after the sun had sunk below the horizon, leaving behind an afterglow. As night slowly crept into the forest, the sounds of formless insects could be heard from within the darkness.
「It has become quite late, is the talk over yet? Should we go back soon?」
As the voices of Mira and Fricca trail off, Emera spoke out at a seemingly good time.
「Is that so? Then let’s go back.」
「Ehhh, that’s right. It should be fine since Miss Wind Spirit has Nyanmaru.」
Listening to Emera, the two glanced at their surroundings which had become pitch black, then finally towards the Wind Spirit.
「Take care.」
「Miss Wind Spirit, please be careful」
「Yes, thank you! All of you, please be careful on your way back as well.」
Mira waved goodbye while Fricca bowed with both of her hands. The wind spirit took Nyanmaru’s hand and went back with a flutter.
On the way, Mira gazed at Nyanmaru.
It was safe to think that this shikigami was guarding the Wind Spirit. Although in a situation where the assailants were completely unknown, it was hard to think it would be over after chasing them away just once.
Nyanmaru’s owner either left the autonomous shikigami to protect the Wind Spirit or possibly using it as a bait to lure out the assailants. It was just a speculation, and there was no way for Mira to tell now which one was it.
Although Mira was worried, they wouldn’t fall so easily if the Wind Spirit and Nyanmaru were to combine their powers. contemporary romance
However, it’s best to always be prudent as the magician’s true intentions were unknown. At the very least, Nyanmaru’s master shouldn’t be too far away. There may be some information at the Union. Averting her eyes away from Nyanmaru, Mira organized the information she obtained. fre(e)webno(v)el
(I’ll be quite lucky if I could even get a hold of a small clue.)
Takuto, who was listening from behind, had begun walking towards Caranach alongside Mira and Fricca.
「Based on the talk from earlier, could Takuto have the aptitude of a spellcaster?」
「Now that you mentioned it, I wonder.」
From Fricca’s words, Mira remembered something and gently gazed back at Takuto with a smile full of expectations.
Looking closely, the various status of Takuto appeared. As expected from a child, many ones were lined up but his magic was at six. Considering that the average of the general public was four, six meant that he had a very promising future.
However, Mira sighed after confirming his status. Only the affiliation with the Arkite Kingdom appeared under the class section.
(Even when I inspected it, it would still be unknown…… that is to say, some trigger is needed for one to become a respective class.)
Mira stroked Takuto’s head, just knowing he had talent was good enough.
All magicians possessed a characteristic that allowed them to see spirits. Takuto’s current spellcaster class had yet to be known. After all, if it was a player, they would be able to choose a class first, but what about the residents of this world? Mira pondered.
「How are the aptitudes of spellcasters determined?」
Having just come to this world, Mira asked Fricca who seemed to know more about it.
「Well…… There are various methods, but the fastest one is to get checked by the Union.」
「Hoh… that place also does such a thing? I have some business there, so do you also want to go and get them checked?」
「I want to go!」
When Mira asked, Takuto answered with a big nod.
By the time they reached the Requiem City of Caranach, the sky was already covered by pitch-black darkness, with only a few spots of lights shining through it. The surroundings were decorated with the smiles of people parading in a bar after their workday had ended.
「That was tiresome, I’ll return after taking Takuto to the Union.」
After arriving at the big square, Mira held Takuto’s hand and led him to the Union.
「Waiiiit, Little Mira wait! Come back soon or I’ll get lonely!」
Emera grabbed Mira’s hand almost as if in a panic. Behind them, the other three had different facial expressions which indicated that it couldn’t be helped.
「That’s right, Little Mira. We haven’t distributed the items, nor celebrate yet.」
「Ah, yes. We should definitely throw a party after this grand adventure. The MVP this time is that young lady after all.」
「That’s right. I want to talk to Little Mira a lot more.」
There weren’t any problems with the cost, but Mira was much more concerned about the fuss it will cause. Trying to refuse would likely make them chase her to the ends of the world until she accepts it, at least for Emera.
「Hmm…… well, that should be fine. Unexpectedly, it’s quite fun to be with you guys.」
While remembering all of the idle conversations they exchanged along the journey, Mira replied with a smile.
「That smile is like one million volts!」
