Episode 8.9
The next day, Lecan ca to Shira's house and practiced from morning to dusk.
The day after, he began practicing in Shira's house since morning again, but this ti there was a visitor just before noon.
It was the lord's son, Agito Ulban. He's together with one sham knight.
Lecan opened the front door but without letting Agito inside.
"What do you want."
"Is Shira-dono not present."
"No."
"I-Is Nike-dono not here."
"No."
"Do you have any kind of clue?"
"Clue to what."
"A clue to the whereabouts of Shira-dono and Nike-dono of course!"
"Shira is no stranger to going off sowhere by herself, it's not like she's been kidnapped. Nike doesn't live in this house to begin with."
"I-I see."
"S'that all you need."
"This door."
"Hm?"
"I apologize for breaking this door."
"...So you do."
"It was Chaney who arranged for the craftsman but the repair cost was paid with my private fund."
"So it was."
The lord probably ordered it. In other words, this is an apology from the lord to Lecan and shira.
"Anything else you need."
"N-no. That is all."
Agito went ho with his head hanging.
When Lecan got back to the workroom, Nike, that is to say Shira in her young girl form was sitting there.
"Heya."
"You're back huh."
"Uh huh."
Nike poured tea in a cup and offered it to Lecan.
"Should I call you Nike when you're in that form."
"That would be for best, yep."
"I got a Golden Potion at Golbul Dungeon."
"Hoo! Did you drink it?"
"I did."
"What kind of skill did you get?"
"No idea."
"Humm. Well, you'll figure it out eventually."
"My sword broke."
"Hee."
Lecan took his sword that has been broken in two out of .
" won't work once it's broken to this point. Its life as a sword is over."
"Let see that for a bit."
Nike examined the part where it broke and then carefully the part where a Jewel is embedded.
"Its magic is still working. This jewel hasn't died yet. It's just lacking mana a bit. Uunn. Mind if I keep this sword for a little while?"
"I don't."
"A friend of mine is pretty good at this stuff you see. I'd like to show this to that person, do you mind?"
"Are you talking about magic engineer Yaclubend who lives in the capital?"
"Yep. Where'd you hear the na?"
"From Chaney."
"Hmm. Did sothing happen?"
Lecan explained the events that took place after he returned to Vouka Town.
"Uun. Well, that's about the gist of it. If I stayed here, so ill-mannered folks aka Midosco's ssengers would keep intruding in every single day. So I just went sowhere for a bit. Would be nice if those bunch would disappear quickly, wouldn't it."
She must have found Midosco very much a handful.
"By the way, aren't you curious?"
"About what?"
"That Eda-chan isn't here."
"Ah, now that you ntion it, she is."
Lecan did not forget. The thought simply never crossed his mind.
"Think you'd better act a bit kinder to your pupil. For that works in your favor as well."
"I just recalled sothing."
"What is?"
"Why did you make Eda my pupil. You taught her magic a lot more."
"Good grief. Haven't I explained that to you. Teaching soone will be a unique learning experience for you as well."
"It was a learning experience for indeed. But if we're doing this for Eda's sake, learning directly from you seems a better idea."
"Listen here. In this world, an average mage can learn at most two three spells from one type, or at most three or four spells from two types of magic, excepting stuff like and . A pupil can only learn what their teacher use. That's how it works. Now look at you, you can use Perception type, Creation type, Space type and Light Heat type, four types, can't you. Moreover, I believe you can also use the Special type as well no? Eda-chan is very blessed to have the opportunity studying under such an excellent teacher."
"Is that right."
"That is right."
Lecan couldn't hope to win against Nike in an argunt, he got easily swept up. Of course, Nike has her own reasoning for inducing Lecan to teach Eda. However, Nike has no intention to explain that.
