Chapter59，Part1: 1 - Secret Technique Chapter 59 Secret technique Part 1

A wooden doll with no eyes, no nose, and no mouth co out while holding a large wooden box. It was a Wood Golem… A wooden golem that Sytry often uses for her work.

Alchemists often use Golem and other magical creatures to supplent for their low physical strength.

From inside the sturdy wooden box, you can hear the rattling sound of bottles hitting against each other.

The Lounge was wrapped in a strange atmosphere. There was a dangerous atmosphere settling down. But nobody could escape because Sytry was blocking the entrance.

It was only supposed to be charging my Relics, but what’s with this atmosphere? I also felt a little bit of the need to run away.

Tino, the victim number one, was still feeling uncomfortable approached as if clinging to .

“Master~… I have always been wondering… Is Sytry Onee-sama, well… Lesbian?” (Tino)

Her shoulders were trembling and tears were floating around her eyes. Well, if she was only touching you a little bit, it will be okay. But after being touched like that, it was normal to feel fear.

To think the day will co when I would need to confirm my childhood friend’s sexual orientation. What kind of karma did I have in my previous life to have to do that?

“No, I don’t think she is… Probably.” (Cry)

“…” (Tino)

“It is fine. Fine. Maybe.” (Cry)

“…” (Tino)

When I think of the smile on Sytry’s face when she was touching Tino, it was difficult for to be sure but… Her interest in Tino was probably purely academic. In its own way, I wonder if this is fine.

Tino’s expression didn’t change when she heard my answer. She just bit her lips and hugged my arm. I don’t mind you relying on but, when the cause of it is one of my childhood friends, I am really sorry about that.

While patting her head to calm her down, Sytry talked to the mbers in the Lounge with cheerful movents. They were all assembled in one place.

Apparently, even if she rarely goes to the Lounge, she rembers the Clan mbers’ faces and nas. I am sure her head is different than mine.

In front of the confused mbers who were gathered here, Sytry-chan clapped her hand once and said with a smile which can even attract won.

Before I knew it, there was eight stone Golem lining up behind . Stone Golem… Compared to the wooden ones, those Golems are known for having a higher fighting power. Even if I say that they are not an opponent that could face against “First Step (Ashiato)” Hunters.

“To everyone who is in the Lounge today… You are very lucky. Cry-san will give everyone here… A very efficient training, is what I am saying.” (Sytry)

“No, no, no, I never said sothing so bossy!?” (Cry)

What are you saying all of sudden?

I inadvertently tsukkomied at what she suddenly said.

Training… What are you talking about? I just ca here to ask them to charge my Relics.

I am in a position where I need to bow my head. The Clan Master has no power to force sothing on soone.

“Let’s leave what Cry-san said aside…” (Sytry)

The good news was that no one was raising a complaint to . Sytry raised her index finger, hunched down as if she was telling a secret, and continue.

When she looked at everyone with her quiet and shining eyes. One of the mbers who was listening to the story swallowed his saliva.

“What is amazing you say? This training is different from the usual Trials… Who would have thought…? There is no danger of dying!” (Sytry)

“What did… you say!?” (mbers)

To those words, everyone who was in a low tension beca noisy. Even Tino who was clinging to , opened her eyes and surprisingly looked at Sytry.

I was the only one who couldn’t keep up with the situation. It is good that everyone is getting along.

“… Well, I want you to stop tying the word Trial on everything though.” (Cry)

“It is okay even if you are on vacation, no preparation is required. It takes little ti… And the effect is visibly obvious! If you take it, everyone can beco a Magi on the sa level as Lucia-chan! To tell you the truth, this is a secret training thod that is only done inside our Party, but this ti we will exclusively… Reveal it to everyone.” (Sytry)

At those words, everyone’s expression was half-doubting it.

Lucia Roge is one of the most recognized Magi in the Imperial Capital. 『Starlight (Hoshi no Seirei)』, the party of 『Noble (Spirits People) 』 who look down on humans, is in 『First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato) 』because Lucia is in it.

It can only be heard as a joke that anyone could beco a Magi like her. I can only hear it as a joke.

Or rather, I have no recollection of such a training thod.

If there was such a training thod, it wouldn’t be strange if it was more widespread.

Satisfied, Sytry nodded when seeing everyone’s expression.

“Unfortunately, as it is a training for “Magi (Madoushi)” not everyone can take it… After receiving this training, your power as a Magi and as a Hunter will dramatically improve. Of course, it is not compulsory. Among the people here, is there anyone who doesn’t want to do it?” (Sytry)

“Huh?” (mbers)

To her straightforward question, the gathered parties start buzzing. Are you going to listen to those who can’t receive it instead of those who can take it?

The young Magi who was listening in the front row raised his hand shyly. Maybe because he was on vacation, he isn’t wearing a robe, but I can see a small wand hanging on his waist.

“… Is it… Really not life-threatening?” (mber 1)

“I guarantee it.” (Sytry)

“Is there really such a convenient training? What is the deal?” (mber 2)

As expected of Hunters, despite being forcibly gathered here in this place, they seem enthusiasts. They are highly motivated.

When he asked this question with a suspicious look. Sytry-chan put her finger on her lips and cutely tilted her neck.

“Um… Yes, right. It will cause magic exhaustion, so if you are not used to it, it may be painful for you. If it is a mber of First Step, then everyone has already experienced it once so I think it is okay… But if there are Magi who don’t like that, it might be better to not accept the training.” (Sytry)

“There isn’t any Magi like that here. If you are a Magic-User, then you have run out of magic power at least once.” (mber 3)

The female Magi from the Party next table snorted and says with an exasperated voice. There are many voices of consent from the others too.

“Please rest assured, the depleted magic power will be restored imdiately. I will bear the cost of the “Mana Potion (Magic Recovery dicine)”. … By the way… It isn’t… It isn’t like, I am taking you for an idiot… But is there anyone who is bad with “Mana Potion (Magic Recovery dicine)” and can’t drink it?” (Sytry)

To that voice which sounds terrified of their answer, all the Magi looked at each other. They look dissatisfied.

Being able to drink Magic Recovery dicine is proof of being a first-class Magi. All the people gathered here are confident of their own ability as Hunter. If you suspect this, it is normal if you get a complaint.

“Don’t take us for an idiot. Even if we are not at your level, we are still active Magi. We have already drunk “Mana Potion (Magic Recovery dicine)”. We aren’t going to hesitate, now.” (mber 3)

“I am sorry. In that case… I think there is no particular problem.” (Sytry)

Sytry bow a little and apologized, she once again looked at the face of the one gathered here. She opened her lips with a serious expression.

“Then this is the final confirmation. This is… A secret training thod. If you decline now, you will probably never get it again. But it is certainly not sothing to do on your vacation. We won’t force you but, once you receive it, you will be with us until the end. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to receive this training?”

It is a bit late but Sytry is relatively shrewd.

Compare to Liz, she looked more mature and it was easily mistaken but she wasn’t harmless to human beings. She always acts with precaution. Although she isn’t telling a lie, she has a habit of playing with her words, among all my childhood friends, her words are the ones you need to be the most careful about.

I don’t want to rember it too much but because I let it pass once, Liz and Sytry had a sibling fight and had almost killed each other.

For example, Sytry said you wouldn’t die but she didn’t say that it would be so painful, you would want to die. And it is often those important information, that she doesn’t say.

TL notes:

Thank you for reading!

The Title is “Hidden” like in log horizon noice.

Sytry what a fearful girl, osoroshi ko. XD

What can be the training Cry created for Lucia will it be an easy one probably not. Run mages from Footprint!

Tchao à plus!
