By the lake, Saili’s feet moved beneath the water.
Submit to the magical girl and beco the villager nad Shami, a little dog dedicated to providing intelligence on the Demon King to the magical girl!
Saili smiled slightly and, hearing a disturbance from the woods, retracted her inner thoughts.
Shami walked out of the woods and glanced around. There was only a black-haired girl sitting alone on the pebbles by the lake, quietly soaking her feet.
He slowly approached, eting Saili’s gaze.
"Miss Saili..."
"You’re here, Shami?"
"Yes."
Shami nodded, his gaze landing on the black-haired girl’s slender jade legs.
The two jade feet slowly erged from the water, the lake water sliding down the instep and turning into crystal-clear droplets, falling back into the lake from the toes.
Saili glanced at Shami without a change in expression.
The scene of the saintess erging barefoot from the water, even if it causes a nosebleed, is not sothing to be embarrassed about...
Shami casually shifted his gaze to the fish in the lake.
The ti his gaze stayed did not exceed a second at all!
Shami’s reaction made the magical girl, ranked first in the Fata people’s popularity ranking, lose her confidence. Skeptically, she looked at her own jade feet.
Shami moved his gaze from the swimming fish to the black-haired girl.
"Miss Saili, why did you co to such a place?"
The black-haired girl felt awkward for a mont, falling into a state where she couldn’t admit her plan had failed. She pretended to act normal, wiping the water droplets off her feet before putting on stockings.
Only then did Shami’s calm gaze fall again on the black-haired girl’s fair feet.
Was that a test just now?
A test to see if he had the composed mindset required to beco a mage.
If so, that would underestimate the ntal resilience of the villagers.
He admitted that the magical girl’s petite feet were indeed beautiful. However, not long ago, he was also close with two girls whose looks were equal to that of the magical girl. Both the flat tablet spirit and the white-haired hero had top-notch feet, which he had seen about ten tis, and last night he even observed the white-haired girl’s feet up close.
Faced again with equally beautiful feet after seeing such top-notch feet, having a calm mindset—how would the magical girl handle that?
Moreover, it’s not a hypothetical.
He really had these two girls at ho.
Shami chuckled smugly, clenching his fist with enthusiasm.
He definitely passed the assessnt!
No, wait! He was here to gather intelligence! That earlier was clearly so test from the magical girl for unknown reasons!
Saili put on her boots, slowly stood up, and ca to Shami’s side.
The two exchanged a glance.
"Congratulations, Shami, on successfully passing my assessnt. Practicing magic is a painful endeavor, and the most difficult part is the concentration of the mind, which cannot be swayed by any external distractions. If you had beco distracted because of my actions just now, you would have lost the qualification to beco a mage."
So, it really was an assessnt!
Shami looked down in shock.
"Miss Saili, the Fata assessnt is far more innovative than I imagined."
The black-haired girl averted her gaze, blinking awkwardly.
Well, it’s fortunate I managed to explain it...
"Miss Saili, do I have the talent to beco a mage?"
"That needs to be determined back at the Fata. However, your mindset is already qualified."
Anyway, the black-haired girl, who intended to fool the villagers, said carelessly.
"Can I go to the Fata side?"
Of course not. Ninety-nine percent of the students at Fata magic schools co from royal and noble families, and it’s not a place accessible to villagers.
Saili quietly examined the villager before her seriously for the first ti.
Shami indeed had the qualifications to go to the Fata side, but whether he could beco a mage was unknown; being a juicing rod favorably received by middle-aged female mages in St. Nolca City was no problem, though.
"Yes, indeed. However, I observed that there seems to be another villager in the village who might have the ability to beco a mage."
After chatting for a while and closing the gap, Saili moved onto the main topic.
"Who?"
"The villager who looks like, um, a Humanoid Race, do you know him? If it’s him, practicing horror style magic shouldn’t be a problem. I’m quite curious about him."
What an identical evaluation to the Elf Race girl! This curiosity clearly isn’t about wanting to make Theo a test subject for magic experints, is it?
"Miss Saili, you an Theo, right?"
"Yes, that’s correct."
"He’s my friend."
"To think he’s a friend; it seems both have the talent to practice magic."
Saili pretended to not understand the relationship between the two.
"But with such an appearance, if he also possesses the ability to practice magic, he might be possessed by a demon." The black-haired girl spoke ambiguously, her dainty eyebrows furrowed: "If so, that would be troubleso."
Shami also furrowed his brows.
"A demon?"
"Yes. But this concept is a bit complicated to explain in detail."
"Then has Miss Saili any thods to sense if he’s possessed by a demon?"
"Demons usually have rather peculiar habits. Tell everything about Theo’s situation in the past three months. I’ll make a judgnt."
The black-haired girl calmly looked at Shami.
"As a mage from the Fata, there is naturally an obligation to rid the people of harm."
In terms of phrasing, Saili’s words seamlessly connected from acquaintance to intelligence probing, aligning with her identity as a mage, leaving almost no suspicious points.
The only oversight is that the person who was close to Theo is the real Demon King.
However, the black-haired girl maintained strong confidentiality, almost never ntioning anything about looking for the Demon King or related topics.
Shami remained silent.
He already sensed that the black-haired girl wasn’t simple, but couldn’t pinpoint where the problem lay.
As for Theo’s story, there wasn’t a strong connection with him; they only occasionally t while herding sheep.
Moreover, with that diary, Shami indeed knew what that guy had been up to for the past three months.
[A Little Story of Villager Theo’s Three Months]
...
Afternoon.
Maple Forest Clearing.
Shami paced back and forth with so concern, recalling the morning eting with the magical girl and pondering the real reason for her presence here.
Lina was currently collecting possible resources at various Sli Caves.
Bone Fra and Jelly were expanding the Sli Base Camp’s cave.
In the clearing, there were only him and Lureya.
[Shami~ You seem to have sothing on your mind~]
"Sorry, you could tell."
[Usually walking in circles around a tree dozens of tis~ surely indicates deep thought~]
Shami stopped walking.
"I was just wondering if the magical girl ca here for ."
[Hmm~ Has Shami’s charm already affected even the magical girl species~ If it’s Shami, that seems natural too~]
"Ah, having one more person is unbearable; two people are already quite troubleso."
"Shami, are you talking bad about !"
Lureya dashed over, "I totally heard you, what’s this about being troubleso, haven’t I been well-behaved these days?"
Shami looked at the flat golden-haired girl.
Unable to speculate the magical girl’s reason for appearing here with limited information, he decided to set it aside for now.
He was no longer the powerless villager he once was.
With the Tree Spirit’s intelligence, the number of Jelly and Slis, Bone Fra’s unexpected strategies, and the powerful white-haired Lina, even if faced with a tricky mage, it was enough to counter.
Moreover, they still didn’t know the magical girl’s true power.
"Why are you completely ignoring and looking around aimlessly?"
Lureya shook Shami’s shoulders with both hands.
Shami woke up and grabbed Lureya’s hands.
At the mont, this silly elf was the weakest.
It’s crucial to boost your power quickly.
"Eh?"
Looking at her captured wrist, Lureya blinked her golden eyelashes.
"Mr. Tree Spirit, I’ll leave the clearing to you."
Shami opened a teleportation gate with one hand, revealing the elf maiden’s bedroom inside.
[Hmm, leave it to this old man... cough cough...]
He pulled the flat golden-haired girl directly into the room.
Turning off the teleportation gate, Shami looked at the flat golden-haired girl’s abdon.
"Expose your belly. Lureya."
