Chapter 7: Moving in with the Hanamuras
Surprising fact about Hanamura Marino is that she is really good at sewing. She turned the simple piece of fabric I bought (Worth around a hundred Eroges.) into a proper stole. Just by putting a little accent color at each end of the cloth make this much different? She said that she will add so embroidery if she has ti too.
“Is this all the stuff you will bring over? What about the rest?”
Ho electronics, dishes, curtains, sofas, there are a lot of leftovers.
“.....let’s dispose all of it.”
“I see.”
She didn’t say anything more than that. These things may have taken care of before but if I bring everything along it will only end up as a trash anyway. No choice but to just abandon it here.
“.......Are you okay?”
“Yes.... oh, it seems like the contractors are here.”
When we left the luggage to them, we asked the contractors to dispose of the remaining furniture before we leave the house.
I won’t be returning to this place again.

The fact that I am moving in with Hanamura Marino could be said that I couldn’t get luckier than this. It is not because she is a widow who still look like a high-school girl (not entirely). It is because I can learn a lot of things from the Witch of Tsukuyomi, a great magician even inside the magic world.
“So as I thought, the use of magic is connected to increasing one’s own magic power after all?”
“Yeah, I think that the thod Kousuke-kun used to constantly channeling enchant magic is the most efficient one, but as expected such thod could only be done by you alone.”
The way I use my magic, if it is an ordinary magician their magic power would run out imdiately. But if it who has an aptitude in enchanting magic, even if I keep using it like an idiot I would still be fine.
“Even so, Kousuke-kun is really a hard worker, huh.”
“You think so?”
“I can’t really say much about other people but........”
She said that as a preface.
“Everything is about magic with you.”
She said that with a wry smile, it felt like she wants to praise and tease at the sa ti.
“Really?”
“Really, but you don’t have to overdo it like that, you know?”
Even more than praising or teasing, it seems like her worry is stronger, huh.
I didn’t overdo it though.
“It’s nothing like that, I just think that magic is fun, that’s all.”
I was just fascinated by how fun it is. There are people like that back in Japan too, right? Those who reading for hours and hours, playing gas until the date changes or playing football until the sun goes down. I do it because I like it.
“I see. if you have anything you want to ask, don’t hold yourself back and ask away, okay?”
Of course, That’s my intention from the start.
“Sure, then first question..........”
Then while being shaken by then magic-car I was able to receive one-hour magic lesson from her before we finally arrive at our first destination.
“Well, after this we need to split way for a bit. Sorry, I always troubling you with my work.”
She apologized to because she has to et up with soone and want to wait for a while.
“It’s nothing. Rather, I should be the one troubling you instead.”
Clothing, food, a place to live. I who can’t make any money and have to rely on her for all of those.
She relaxes her expression and give a smile. Then she reached out her hand and flicked my forehead.
“You’re a family so it’s alright for you to feel a bit troubled, you know!”
“That go for Marino-san too right? We are family after all.”
When I said that, she made a puffy face while looking like she was happy about sothing.
Imdiately after, the mood improved and we chuckled a little.
Good grief, soone please tell her real age.

I parted ways with Marino-san in a good mood and walking around the unfamiliar street.
“Five hours, huh........what should I do.”
The city I’m in now is one that connect with various countries around the world. It is filled with airport and various ethnic group. Obviously, there are a lot of people that are coming in and leaving this town such as businessn and tourists.
And as people from all across the world co to this town the souvenir industry has also developed. The country I am currently living in right now is a country that is overflowing with magic.
Naturally there are a large number of people that co to purchase magic tools. There are many places I could use to kill ti but exactly because there are so many of them, I’m currently at a loss.
What I do to kill ti back in Japan was to watch movie, eating at a restaurant or chillaxing in a cafe. But now I don’t really have a choice beside looking around for magic tools. Seem like my body and soul really been eroded by a magic maniac ever since I ca to this world.
I imdiately take out my smartphone to check the map and select so good magic tools store to visit.
In the magic tools store I visited, I was able to see various forms of magic catalyst. From a wooden wand to iron one and those that were made using so unknown materials like mithril. There’re even book-shaped catalyst or those that shaped like bracelet and ring. The book-type catalyst seem to have magic stone embedded into its hard cover and it was unusually thick and heavy. Additionally there are also so interesting catalyst like a parasol-type or one that has its handle shaped like a lollipop.
“The parasol-type is surprisingly useful, dear custor.”
The clerk seems to like the parasol-type catalyst and advertise it with confidence.
So I asked her
“what would you think if a man were to use it?”.
Of course, she shows a bitter smile and said that it wouldn’t look good.
Suddenly when I was looking at various kinds of catalyst, I start to wonder what weapon should I use. In the ga Takioto Kousuke only use sword and shield. He is the type that is not good with long range attack and always charge in to slaughter his enemy up close. His special abilities, [Third hand] and [Fourth hand] are particularly useful in that regard. Rather, those skills are essential in order for him to do that. I need to be able to move my stole as freely as I want as soon as possible.
Let’s set that as the goal for now.
Then what weapon is the most suitable to Takioto Kousuke.
In the wiki, the most popular strategy among the gentlen (players) was to abandon his attack all together and focus on defense by equipping shields on all of his hands (Including Third and Fourth Hand).
Takioto Kousuke has no special weapon, so his attack power was sowhat lacking. Of course if you equip four swords on all of his hands then his attack power will beco decent, but that will co at the cost of dramatically lowered defence. That’s why people thought that he should just beco a wall that tank all the attack for everyone.
In the first half of the ga Takioto Kousuke was used as an iron wall because the enemies mainly use physical attack. That’s the reason most people used Takioto Kousuke for anyway.
However, that was only up to mid-ga. After that his usefulness was overshadowed by the iron-wall cheat-san and the zombie-saint-sama that just awakened her power.
Of course he possessed the power that wouldn’t lose to that iron-wall-cheat-san, but unlike him, her cheat equipnt can be acquired later and as an Eroge she also possessed the most important advantage. It is the advantage that he can’t possibly overco. That’s right.......
Iron-wall-cheat-san is cute.
Iron-wall-cheat-san is TOTALLY cute.
If it you gentlen (Eroge players) then you already understand right? As an Eroge player you wouldn’t possibly use male character in your party. Removing Takioto Kousuke from the party is but an obvious choice. I did it too.
And since he is good at enchant magic, many people left him at the magic tool developnt center. Just because he’s there the developnt speed is double. However, if you left him there his character will not be able to grow. in other words, he can’t raise his level. In the end he was not used for combat and was kept at the developnt center as a manual labor.
It seems he himself said that he wants to beco stronger or that he wanted to defeat the demons.
However, god (players) never answer his prayer, he was deprived of his freedom and put to work only on magic tool developnt . It was like working for a black company. Still, in the main story he was treated like a fool by the protagonist and heroines. Poor guy, even though his life is already so miserable in the first place.
“Dear custor. Is there sothing wrong?”
Did I make a bitter face? The brown-haired clerk is worriedly peeking at my face.
“N, No, I was just thinking about what kind of weapon should I use.”
“I.., Is that so?”
She kept looking at my face worriedly.
“Are there any recomndation?”
Let’s distract her for now.
She might be able to recomnd a good weapon for .
After that, she recomnded a parasol-type catalyst again.
Please give a break already.
