After dinner, I was near the bonfire I practicing Water Magic floating a Water Ball when Silver came to ask what I was doing.
“Practicing magic.”
Because he tried poking while letting out a ‘Hmmm’,
“Don’t! If you touch it, you might die?!” telling him that, he retreated nervously. When I slowly brought it closer, he stepped back again. Of course it’s plain water.
“Hey, cut it out!”
Since he ran away, I tried to pursue him with the Water Ball. Ah! he fell over. As he was the Water Ball hit. Silver’s head is drenched in water and dumbfounded.
“It’s regrettable, but you’re already dead. Don’t catch a cold!”
Finally realizing it was a joke he got angry.
“Ahahahaha. I’m sorry. I apologize. Hey, you just skinned your knee, didn’t you? I’ll use healing magic on it, ok?”
While having some fun joking with Silver, Elizabeth came along.
“I’ve something to talk with you. If possible only us two, ok?”
Saying that, I glimpsed st Silver’s direction. Making a guess he went somewhere else.
“Then, what’s your business, Elizabeth?”
“Yea, that… eh”
Elizabeth seemed somewhat bashful, having a hard time talking. She was looking a bit downward, but her face was slightly reddened. Clearing out the other people, could it be what she wants to tell me is… perhaps that? A confession?! Was she charmed by the way I fought today?
“That… you have the Item Box magic, don’t you?”
Umm? Item Box?
“Ah, I have it?”
“Look, I’m not very good at spatial magic. That is, still I can store more than a normal person, but when it comes to my party there’s a lot of loot, it ends up filled in no time.”
The chat took an unexpected direction!
“Masaru, isn’t that your strongest point? I wonder, do you have any trick or practice method?”
Right. There’s no way she fell in love. I want to kick the me from 30 seconds ago.
“Well, somehow from the beginning it has been like this, I don’t know about a trick.”
Because it’s a cheat, there’s no way to explain it.
“Is that so?..”
Hearing that, Elizabeth was downhearted. I want to be helpful, but I can’t do more than that.
“Look, you’re still young, while you keep using it you’ll get more skillful.”
“As expected, I have no choice but to honestly get on with it, isn’t it? I understand.”
Saying that, Elizabeth staggered back to her own tent. It’s a bit of a let down. After all, it was a chance to become friends with a cute girl. Despite having the face of a winner in life, a proud mage has a lot of problems too.
However, it’s not like I have time to be worrying about other people. If we talk about the problems of a junior like me, it’s the practical use of Fire Magic that has too much firepower. Like today, it’s hard to get a reward when I blow up the loot. If I use Skill Reset I’m able to change Fire Magic to another one, but if I think about it, tomorrow suddenly I won’t be able to use Fire Magic. If I raise Earth Magic to Max Level or something like that, they’ll get suspicious at best. It’s ok if MP Consumption Reduction and MP Recovery UP are removed with the reset, but leaving that aside I feel it’ll be faster if I aim to level up. Will I be able to participate in battle tomorrow?
Since Kreuk and Silver are assigned to the first night watch, that night I slept alone. It was scary being shot with an arrow by an orc, before sleeping I raised Fire Magic one level in advance.
