Chapter 207 - Episode Three - A Certain Fixer's Visit (3)
“Peter-san is, um ……”
“You’re becoming too familiar to Peter-sama! If you talking like that any more……!”
As soon as I call out to Peter, the attendant start shouting and getting angry again.
They didn’t like the …… na attached to it.
I’m not sure how to respond to this, since I don’t know who Peter is.
Village chief Heil said he was a bishop, but he doesn’t seem to have that kind of feeling.
“I don’t mind. You guys are a bit too boisterous. Keep quiet!”
“B-, but ……”
“Can’t you just listen to when I say I don’t mind?”
“I, I didn’t an it that way……! I’m sorry!”
The attendants finally lowered their large staffs.
They seem to be following Peter out of fear, rather than worshipping him.
From the way I see him, he is as just a good-natured gay man, but I wonder if he’s that scary.
“Um, Peter-san. That skin was reshaped, wasn’t it? Isn’t that right?”
When I asked a question, Peter’s attendants were bloodthirsty it.
But Peter was the only one laughing happily.
“Now, who knows …… if you want to know so much, see for yourself.”
Then Peter quickly held out one arm toward , as if he wanted to shake my hand.
I was often taken aback, but when I saw Peter bend his fingers in an inviting manner, I finally understood.
This was a challenge to touch and see.
If you’re an alchemist, pouring magic into the matter and exploring the state of things is fundantal.
“If you get it right…… let’s see. For now, I’ll rember your na. Next ti I see you again, I can give you sothing to reward you with.”
I am being tested.
My skills as an alchemist are being tested right now.
I gulped, then thrust my arm out in front of .
“Peter-sama, you should not approach such a person too carelessly! Have you forgotten about your position!”
One of Peter’s attendants, the woman in the robe, exclaims.
“You don’t understand. Hostile or not, no one can hurt . Especially among sorcerers.”
Peter snickered at the woman in the robe.
I stopped my hand when I heard the woman’s voice, but when Peter made eye contact with to hurry up, I took Peter’s hand and shook it.
At the sa ti, I channeled my magic power into Peter’s body.
By examining the magic power that reflected back, it should be possible to find out information about Peter’s body…… That’s how it should be, but no magic power ca back at all.
When I was surprised, Peter looked at with a victorious grin on his face.
That’s when I saw the earring vibrating.
Perhaps the piercing has the power to suck in and store the magic power that was flowing through the body.
It’s a magical tool that can cut off so magical interference through it.
I didn’t think my defeat was worth it, so I increased the amount of magic flowing, and the quality of the magic was changing little by little.
If there was a hole in that magic tool, there might be a state of magic that couldn’t be dealt with.
I had absolute confidence in my magic power analysis.
I’m not going to back down easily.
“Fufu…… It’s no use. Did I get a little an? But I’m impressed just by noticing it. As expected of the Marrens…… hmm?”
With a snap, Peter’s earring was cracked.
“Ah.”
With a pang, the earring popped, and a chunk of tal gouged out of his ear and further impaled itself on Peter’s cheek.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!?”
Peter squatted there, holding his cheek and left ear.
Blood was dripping.
Both a and Peter’s attendants are quiet.
I honestly thought I was just letting the magic power flow within the scope of analysis, so I didn’t expect this to happen.
I may have gotten a little excited and made a mistake in restraining.
I’m sure it’s bad for the person who wears the magic tool to have his or her whole ears flipped off just because the magic power was channeled a little too generously, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to point it out to the current .
It was a magic tool that I didn’t know much about in the first place, so I don’t know what to say.
The only thing I can say is that I have definitely done it.
“I-, I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose! I didn’t do it on purpose! Um, I’ll treat you……”
“Oh! Don-, don’t touch ……”
When I touched Peter’s left ear, the earring in his right ear popped off too.
“Kyaaaaaaaaahhhh!?”
Apparently, he had the sa one on his right ear.
I made a diocre mistake in my haste to flow my magic power for recovery.
Peter went down on the floor with blood dripping from both ears.
Perhaps because of the pain, Peter’s face was covered in greasy sweat.
I was also impatient with what I had done, and I could feel cold sweat running down my cheeks.
“S-Sorry! No, because this…… such ……”
I managed to swallow the words that ca out to my throat, that it was worse for the guy who ca to test people with a smug look on his face, wearing a shoddy product that would break and injure himself if he shed his magic power for a bit.
“N-, no! Abel is, well, sotis just have so tis that can’t he can’t restrain it, and there’s really no malice in it!”
a jumped between and Peter’s attendants to make an excuse, but the attendants didn’t seem to listen to her.
“How rude to Peter-sama!”
“I-I’m sorry. No, really, I’m so sorry!”
“You can’t just say sorry! You will pay for that diminutive life!”
Two of Peter’s attendants wave their staff in a murderous manner.
“Thorns, penetrate”
One of the attendants chants a spell at a.
“S-Sorry! Wait ……”
I wave my wand and quickly redraw the magic circle as quickly as I can.
The thorns from the attendant’s staff tip curve back to the person himself.
The thorns flexed like a whip, striking the attendant in the face.
The covering is removed and the attendant is slamd into the wall with blood gushing out of her face.
“Buho!?”
The woman’s face is exposed.
She’s sticking to the wall and slumped on the floor.
“Uh-uhhhh ……”
One attendant was retreating and approaching the exit of the room.
It was the red hair that had been shouted at earlier. He looks slightly less conscious than the other attendants.
Maybe he’s a newcor.
The last attendant holds up his staff while glaring at .
“Now you’ve done it…… You don’t seem to understand what it ans to have Peter-sama as your enemy.”
“Le-, let’s calm down! Let’s calm down for a mont!”
As I held up my wand as I said it, the attendant took three steps back, surprised.
“Fla…… form……”
The attendant waved his wand and I focused on redrawing the magic circle.
“That’s …… enough.”
Peter stood up, breathing hard.
He grabbed a piece of the dismbered earring in his hand, but he let out a boring sigh, spread his hands, and dumped it on the floor.
“…… I, I just played a little ga and screwed up. I bought your loyalty. But please don’t embarrass too much.”
“B-, but ……”
“You guys are being awfully slow to understand things today. I’m disappointed in you.”
“I-, I’m sorry!”
The attendant lowered the large staff he was holding, picked up the covering that had fallen to the floor, then approached the woman lying on the edge and placed it over her, lending her a shoulder to lift.
Then he made eye contact with Peter as if to check, but he seed to pretend not to know.
“You…… you seem to have a high magic capacity. Your na …… what was it again?”
“No…… Really. Abel, my na is Abel Belek.”
I responded with an embarrassed smile.
As I thought, being acknowledged for my magic skills by soone who seems to be high and mighty, after all, makes happy, or embarrassed or sothing……
“…… So, you’re Abel Belek. Abel Belek. I’ll make sure I don’t forget you.”
Peter was mumbling and reciting my na.
“You’re going to give sothing the next ti I see you, right?”
I said this jokingly, trying to disguise my embarrassnt.
“Ne-, next ti!? Le-, let’s see…… I’ll be ready to et you whenever you are.”
“I even have a feeling we’ll have a eting again in the near future……”
“………… Yes, maybe.”
Peter took a few steps back from the scene, looking away.
“My n have caused you trouble by being impulsive. Well then, I think it’s ti for to get out of here.”
“Oh, you’re leaving already? You can find out more about Levi Church……”
“…… I seem a little under the weather. I’m eager to talk to you about many things, but I have another appointnt with my subordinates to et up with them, so I’ll have to go now. I’ve heard all the details over at the Royal Capital, so don’t worry about it. Getting to know you were the best thing about my visit here. Well then, let’s go, you guys.”
Peter instructed his n as he held his face and pulled them out of the room.
Seeing his back, I felt that the tension was finally starting to ease.
For a while, I wondered what would happen, but it seems that great people have great capacity after all.
It was a bit creepy, but I’m glad he seed kind.
It’s a pity that he’s so busy, but I hope we can have another opportunity to talk at leisure next ti.
“Gofu! Gofu! Gofu!”
“Peter-sama! Peter-samaaaaa!”
I heard Peter coughing violently and his subordinates screaming from the hallway.
…… By any chance, there was so kind of magic tool or sothing similar inside his body as well, and there was sothing wrong with it.
“I-, I’m going to go check on Peter-san ……!”
“Ple-, please stop……”
I was about to run out of the room, but a grabbed my arm to stop .
