The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 83

The Dark Wraith is still roaming about Wanaruta City Ruins. We had better not go near that place anyti soon

Milly nods her head side to side.

The three of them understood how dangerous the Dark Wraith was, their expressions were serious.

Several days after that, while healing from the battle with Grain, they searched for a new hunting ground.

Though, because there werent any good hunting grounds in the area surrounding Wanaruta City Ruins, they were forced to undertake a great migration.

Since we are in need of so good equipnt, I think we should leave here and go back to the capital. What do you think?

In the capital there are tons of different stores lined up, and what we have here cannot compare to the variety of items that are there.

Whats more, the Wizards Society Headquarters is there.

I have mastered roughly all of the magic currently available to the public, but the amount of magic that Milly has acquired is fairly minimal.

Its also a good environnt for Milly to learn magic.

Also, Claudes shield was broken and Id promised to buy her a new one.

The Capital? Ive never been there, you know.

I lived there a long ti ago!

too, Milly affird, raising her hand.

Co to think of it, Millys father was the aweso mage who developed Scout Scope.

If hes the great mage, its also no wonder that she once lived in the capital.

The two of them were relatively eager, but Lydia seed a little torn.

The Capitalhuh? Thats pretty far, isnt it I guess, since my shop and dad are over here so

Wont you co with us?

I really want to go, but

With a troubled expression, Lydia smiled back as Milly made a sad face.

YeahIm concerned about my father after all, .I an, if a pretty shop girl such as myself left, and since that old man is doing business alone, wont he go out of business before long?

It seems that your dad was managing before you were born, Lydia, and its not like you can never ever go back, right?

Thats truebut still

I can understand her reservations, but its surprising that she would be worried now.

The always-indifferent Lydia seed panicked.

Lydia leaving at this point would totally disrupt the balance of the team, and everyone would be sad about that.

Even I would be bothered by Lydia leaving.

Of course, theres nothing we can do if she stays behind, but it also seems as if Lydia wants to go with us too.

Theres no getting around it, I have to help figure this out.

understood. Why dont we persuade your dad?

When he said that Lydia stood up flustered.

Youyou cant do that! My dad is extrely scary!

Oh? Hes not an easy-going guy?

Ummwell actually hes usually a nice dad, but.

In our confusion, Lydia begins to explain the situation.

According to her story, a while ago Lydia apparently beca an adventurer and planned to leave ho, and then her father, who was opposed, said to herIf you have beco strong enough to beat you can go.

Lydia, who accepted that demand, battled her father but, as usual her strength was no match for him, and it seed as if her arms and legs wouldnt perform.

That isnt all of it, but she feels like she would be no match in battle.

Wouldnt it be good if you, could fight using my enhanced magic? If you strengthen your speed and offensive abilities, I think you would be able to win

Theres no way! I wont win even if I do that! Nope~ hes like a god of war

Lydia and I are training together practically every day and even if I enhanced myself using the magic I dont feel like I could beat her even with the added help. I should probably consider her father to be in this kind of level when compared to her.

Do you think that I will ever be able to beat my father? Zeph-chi?

Hmm. youre not alone anymore, Lydia. Dont you have our guild? It depends on whether we can convince your dad but

Yeah~ but I really think its not possible

He wont even try to talk to ? Maybe I could manage sohow in a way you dont expect!

Mnn~If you go as far as saying that then

Lydia reluctantly gave in. Shes absolutely terrified of her father. Ive heard that a parent who protects a child shows trendous strength, but should she really be that scared?

Claude, who was driven out of her ho around the age of 10, and Milly who lost her parents at a young age, were perplexed. I was the only one who left ho willingly. At any rate, I will try to talk to him.

We go to Lydias house, and upon entering we saw the figure of her father cheerfully serving custors. Inside the store was bustling, and compared to the ti when Lydia was there, the number of patrons hadnt changed.

By the look of things, even if Lydia wasnt here, I dont think the shop would go bankrupt any ti soon When her fathers eyes t hers, a broad smile with white teeth appeared. Hes the typical happy father.

Welco! Hello, well isnt it Zeph-kun, Milly-chan, and Claude-chan! Whats going on? Need to restore so weapons or sothing?

Like a typical rchant that was good at selling goods, his voice could be heard from far away. Sotis hed fought with Lydia, but even with this physique he could easily keep up with Lydias speed.

Actually..Dad, I want to talk to you about sothing

Oh, thats quite unexpected. Ah! Did you want a discount for everyone goods and negotiate a price?!

No, thats not it

Well then, is it about armor? As you know, this is a weapons shop. You know we dont have great armor, dont you?

Aha ha (awkward laughter)..Like I said thats not

Lydia stamred. She was truly afraid of her dad.

Sheesh, shes really hopeless. Without hesitation, her dad ca over and looked right at . Our eyes t, and I had to look straight up, he was that tall.

The truth is, I was thinking about moving our base to the capital. Would you mind if we wanted to bring Lydia along?

And with my brief comnt, the atmosphere changed in an instant. Lydia had a shocked expression, she was astonished, but anyhow it was sothing that couldnt go unsaid. However, I understood why Lydia had been afraid of her father up to that point. Claude and Milly, completely taking in the aura that Lydias father was putting off, felt totally insignificant.

Zeph-kun, to be honest I have a really good impression of you but you know. Those words you just spoke, I will pretend that I have not heard them, alright?

Lydias dad smiled at the last mont, but his expression was a bit stiff.

Nevertheless, I had no plans to back down.

Being over protective and overly doting as a parent can be unbeneficial you know? Wouldnt it be better to let her go on an adventure?

The end result of letting her travel, if Lydia were to die, are you, Zeph-kun, willing to take responsibility?

If that happens, then I will likely be dead as well. Until then, I will protect her with all my might.

Even if you die, Lydia cant co back ho.

Its useless. The conversation isnt going as planned.

I an it was true that Lydia has been in danger multiple tis and been exposed to many perils, but up until now she hasnt died.

If you want to force the matter, then you can do is if you are able to defeat

For so reason or another, it ended up going in the direction where I had to defeat her father. Why has it co to this I wonder? No the reason that he is doing this is because as a father he truly worries for Lydia. I should be considerate of her fathers feelings I suppose?

Understood. Thats fine.

Zeph-chi?!

WellIn that case I will keep Lydia with . Defeat , and you can take Lydia away.

Hyahh!?

When he said that, he picked Lydia up and put her over his shoulder.

Zeph-chi~

Lydia miserably raised her voice. It sounded as if shed lost hope. I have no choice but to act.

Its going to be okay. Without fail, Ill show you that I will win.

When I said that, Lydias father glared at with sharp eyes.

Once the shop closes, lets fight anyti.

In that case, I will co back after. Just you wait.

Once I said that I left Lydias house.
