Inside the Adventurers’ Guild building in the royal capital of Symphonia, in a neatly prepared guest room, I was speaking with Guildmaster Shion-san, also known as Catastro-san.
The topic of conversation was that exclusive brush as I rembered hearing about Catastro-san’s original form being sothing else entirely, so I decided to introduce it to her just in case.
Well, in Catastro-san’s case, it didn’t really feel like she was a Beastman-type Demon……
[I see. That certainly is a splendid item. I, too, take great care with magic power perability each day in order to refine my beauty.]
[……Errr, I heard that for ordinary Demons or humans, magic power perability doesn’t matter that much. Does that an you’re a Beastman-type Demon, Shion-san?]
[No, in my case, I am classified as a Magical Beast-type Demon. A classification close to that of Dragons, perhaps? There are many varieties of dragons, so they are classified in another group together as "Dragons", but from an ecological standpoint, it would not be incorrect to call them Magical Beast-type Demons. Anyhow, it refers to beings whose true form is separate, and who usually live in a Humanized Form…… Yes, I would rather not acknowledge that form as my true appearance, but if we must classify it, I am a Magical Beast-type Demon.]
[Ah, I see, so Demons whose original form is separate are called Magical Beast-type Demons. Are there many of them?]
Now that she ntioned it, Beastman-type Demons were literally humanoids with animal features, but Dragons, like Frea-san, could switch between their original Dragon Form and a Humanized Form.
Naturally, there must be other Demons like that as well, so it wasn’t strange that such a classification existed.
[There are quite a number under this classification. However, many Magical Beast-type Demons are rather large in their true forms, and most cities impose size restrictions, so you rarely see them within city limits.]
[……Now that you ntion it, you don’t really see obviously gigantic Demons like giddo-san around.]
[Individual establishnts may set their own rules, but most cities require one to either reduce their body to under three ters or use Humanization Magic.]
[Ah, so that’s why giddo-san and the others usually co into the city in human form.]
[When one’s size is too great, it can obstruct passage or lead to accidental damage. Such restrictions are necessary for the coexistence of many different races.]
That made perfect sense. If multiple Demons over 10 ters tall, like giddo-san, were walking down the main street, the flow of people alone would beco complete chaos, and they’d probably spill into the carriage lanes as well.
giddo-san didn’t seem like the type to worry about such things, but she was probably being firmly told off by Kuro.
[Among those Miyama-sama knows, the Special Individual Black Wolf and the Special Individual Ogre from Underworld King-sama's place are also Magical Beast-type Demons.]
[Ah, indeed, Eva is originally a giant wolf. Acht is quite large in his true form as well…… I see. In that case, people like them might have a demand for the exclusive brush too.]
[Indeed. If you wish, Miyama-sama, I can spread word of it within the Magical Beast-type Demon community.]
[Eh? You've got a community among you?]
[Yes. As I ntioned, Magical Beast-type Demons have many matters to keep in mind, such as size restrictions, so we share information and cooperate in teaching Humanization Magic. I can contact representatives of each race imdiately.]
[Ah, then since the opportunity’s here, I’d appreciate it if you could give it a bit of publicity.]
[Certainly. Leave it to .]
Thinking that it would be best to have it advertised if there was demand beyond Dragons and Beastman-type Demons, I gave my reply, and Catastro-san bowed deeply with utmost courtesy.
After finishing my conversation with Catastro-san and returning ho, Anima brought a letter that had arrived by ergency express delivery. I accepted it, moved to my room, and then checked its contents. Ergency express is an extrely fast service in which a letter arrives almost on the very day it is sent, and accordingly, each one costs a fair amount.
Wondering who it might be from, I checked and found it was from Cornelia-san. The letter politely expressed her thanks for advertising the exclusive brush…… and stated that they had already received more than enough orders, so further promotion was no longer necessary.
Originally, I had already finished promoting it to everyone I could think of, so I had no plans to advertise it further anyway. Though it was impossible to read emotions from the letter through Sympathy Magic, it at least felt as if she was pleased by the large number of orders. If I had managed to help even a little, then that was enough for .
Just as I was thinking that, Alice appeared in the room and silently handed a wine glass. Tilting my head in confusion, I accepted it.
Thereupon, Alice poured wine into my glass and into the one she had prepared for herself, lightly clinking them together.
[……Cheers. Well~~ wine really is delicious.]
[U- Unn? Why wine all of a sudden?]
[Well, I happened to get my hands on so good wine, so I thought I’d share it with Kaito-san…… Ah, and I’ve got cheese for snacks too.]
[That’s pretty sudden…… Well, I don’t have any plans left for today, so I don’t mind…… Unn. This really is good wine.]
I didn’t quite understand what brought this on, but since she wanted to drink together, I went along with it. Sitting down on the sofa, I enjoyed the wine with Alice.
Serious-senpai : [This guy’s unbelievable. Even after that setup last ti, he can still make the damage spread…… And since it’s a letter, there’s the fatal problem that Sympathy Magic can’t convey emotions……]
? ? ? : [As for Kaito-san’s state of mind after reading the letter though, it’s basically "Cornelia-san seems happy, so it's great!"]
Serious-senpai : [You don't go "Great!" here, oi.]
