6 . Episode 6 Alchemy and the City of Magic

the next day

Thanks to Randy's help yesterday, today is the day that Guild-Azuma starts accepting requests.

Ange is in charge of the reception desk, Miu is in charge of organizing all the paperwork, and Serena is the guild master.

And me, Serena, Lem and Rai will be in charge of escorting the requests and finding the lost and found.

They don't need to be returned to their original location since they don't consume any magic power since they are named Ange and Rai.

I asked them if they were going to stay in the guild for a while.

Ange says she wants to be useful to her master.

I told him that if he ever wanted to return, he shouldn't be afraid to come back.

Rai said the same thing, and then he asked me to take requests with him, sometimes in human form, to slow him down.

I told Rai that I didn't mind, and then we had a late breakfast in the dining room in the living quarters.

Yesterday, I spent some time setting up the environment to make it easier for the blacksmith to do his work, and setting up the tools to make the bath warm and cold automatically.

I'm sure Serena and the others will be happy to know that they can take a bath whenever they want now.

Yes, I'm glad you didn't have to use wood to boil your bathwater.

Wow! Miu Miu, you're back!

I'm sorry to surprise you, Miss Ren, but I received your request earlier today and thought I'd pass it along.

I've already been asked to do something about it, but I don't know what.

I read the contents of the letter where I get a letter from Mew with a request written on it.

'Guild-Azuma-sama.

The content of my request is 【Guarding】. My daughter Charu wants to spend a day touring the city, and I'm going to do her a favor and let her tour the city.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that my daughter has been working

I want my daughter to enjoy sightseeing.

However, for some reason, I am not able to go sightseeing with my daughter.

A few days later, I submitted a request for you to go sightseeing with my daughter.

In a few days, if you would like to come to the plaza of 【Cagali, the city of alchemy and magic】, please come to the plaza and I will give you the reward after the sightseeing with my daughter is over.

City sightseeing and Cagalli, the city of alchemy and magic, which I would love to visit! I thought that if there was magic in this world, it wouldn't be surprising that there was a magical city, but I didn't know there really was.

''Mew, I'll take this request, I'll talk to Serena before I go to Cagali, the city of alchemy and magic.

'No, I'll let Lady Serena know, and Master Ren will call on me as soon as he's ready.

Let's get ready right away and get ready for Cagali, the city of alchemy and magic, a city that uses magic and stuff, so let's go back to our room once.

After seeing Ren off after leaving the cafeteria, Miu went to the room where Serena was.

(A city of alchemy and magic. I felt a faintly strong magic power from the letter before I gave it to Ren-sama, but that magic feeling.

Mew walks to Serena's room, thinking about the letter as she walks to her room.

★★★

City of Alchemy and Magic, Cagalli.

Cagali, a city of magic and alchemy, is home to many students who aspire to become wizards and alchemists.

The building is large compared to other buildings, and the large bell is a symbol of this city.

There is a scaffolding to adjust the bell, and it is a prohibited airspace to prevent other students from entering.

In such a place, a hooded girl with ears was standing there.

'I've sent out the request. Now we just need to see if they'll come.

A girl with a hood with ears says.

She looks younger than Ren and her friends. The girl looks down from the high building and watches the children playing in the square.

The girl looks at the children playing in the square as if she were looking at them from a tall building. I heard that they have left the guild and are on their way to this city now.

The masked man said that to the white cat. The mask hides only the eyes, but the expression on the face seems completely unreadable, the white cat looks at the masked man from the square.

You will find that the information about our identity is not leaked to the other side, but on your side, the information is foolish and can be easily discovered at a glance. That's why you sent them a request, right?

''I have high hopes for that guild, and I'm sure that boy solved the problem of the golem running amok and the dragon man controlling the magical beasts.

The masked man has solved a number of guild-related cases before he formed the guild [Azuma].

But only a few guilds know about it.

''I looked into the boy in the example, but I couldn't find a single detailed information about him.

Either the boy has been summoned to our world and we're not finding out about him, or they're trying to squash it so that we don't find out what happened to him, but we'll get to that another time, and today is the first day in a long time that the princess has been able to spread her wings, and we're going to have to keep a close watch on her.

The white cat is not so interested in the story that the masked man says he was summoned, but he is a little interested in the fact that the boy in the example doesn't have a single piece of information.

The white cat walks past the masked man.

''Then I will leave first to escort the princess.

Well.... - Croella, look after the princess.

The girl called Kroella will be hopping.

'Okay, I'll see you later, Mr. Knight.

After I told him that, he disappeared.

The masked man says, "Good grief.

'Have I offended you a little?

Looking down on the city that we are about to enter

I've been thinking about how Guild-Azma is coming to our shores.

Shall we see what a boy is capable of?

The masked man muttered that as he looked down at the city and disappeared.

◆ ◆ ◆　　

the next day

The members of Guild Azuma take a carriage to Kagari, a city of alchemy and magic.

This time, they asked Ange and Rai to stay in the guild.

Me, Serena, Mew, Rem and a member of the team to take the request.

In the carriage, Serena was paying attention to Ren.

'What were you doing in Ren's forge's room, I was worried because you didn't come over for any length of time when I called you.

'Sorry, Serena, I was making this in my room.

Ren takes out a coat from his magic bag.

''This is the [Magic Coat] I made for Serena [Magic Coat] as a countermeasure in case a magical beast that can use magic comes out.

I went to the blacksmith's room once after returning to my room after that.

The Magic Coat rating is A. It has an effect that halves magical attacks, and Mary Gordon's yarn and the warwolf's fangs from the previous fight are combined with the coat again to counteract the power of magic.

''Ren... thank you... and as a guild master, I'll find the key in my new clothes.

Serena quickly put her coat on and her mood is restored.

I pulled out another pair of boots from my bag.

These are the boots I made for Miu Miu.

Miu's face loosens up.

''Thank you, Ren-sama, I will cherish this for the rest of my life!

I made a pair of boots for Miu Miu because I saw that her boots were tattered.

The leather used for the boots is Rising Buffalo leather and the soles of the feet are made to match the boots and then glued together using boot glue.

The laces for the boots are made from dragon whiskers that I purchased at Raghu's Curios Tool Shop to make the laces for the boots.

I rated it an A. The effects are increased jumping power and faster running.

[Aerostep]

I was able to make them both good. Now I'm up to the skill (Apprentice Blacksmith) to the skill (Blacksmith) from the skill (Apprentice Blacksmith).

I'll buy some materials from the tool shop when we get to town, since I've done that and I can make a lot of things.

'That's why I didn't come out of the blacksmith's room,' he said! When I'm on call, duh! Be careful next time, Ren.

I apologized to Serena and then looked out of the carriage and saw the glittering city.

'That's the city of alchemy and magic!

It's going to be a pleasure to see you, beautiful little man!

Rem peeked out of the carriage and I patted him on the head with a squeal and a happy expression on his face.

Master! (I can feel the awesome magic from that city.

I can't see Liara, but I wonder if she's excited?

But I can't help but wonder what the city we're going to now, too, has in store for us.

Ren was looking at the city until they arrived in the city of Cagali.

After arriving in the alchemy and magic city of Cagali, Ren and his friends presented the guild request form and identification guild card to the gatekeeper, and then went inside.

The roofs of the buildings are all orange, and the streets of the city are lined with restaurants and souvenir shops, and at the back is a building with a large bell, and in the midst of the walking crowd there are dragons, lamia, angels and beastmen walking.

(There are many different shops that you can never get tired of looking at, and there are many different races, but there are no wizards in robes, but there are many students. (Is there a special school here too?)

We're here! Len, what are you looking at?

What about those students?

I asked about the students walking around.

That's a student at the Magic Academy, which, like Raghu, has its own academy!

Serena tells me more about the academy and it seems that there's an academy for alchemy and witchcraft, and she's a student there.

After listening to Serena's explanation, Serena goes to Rem, and Serena holds her hand to make sure Rem doesn't get lost.

Then, Rem connects her other free hand with Ren's.

''Brother Ren will also connect with you~''

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

It's a good idea to go to your daughter who is waiting for you in the square.

"Ohhhh!

Yes, Miss Serena.

Serena and Ren holding hands with Lem, Serena and Ren holding hands with Mew following behind them to the plaza, Mew following behind them just long enough not to move away so as not to interfere with the three children.

◆ ◆ ◆

The four of them came to the square where their daughter was waiting for them in the square.

'Where do you think my client's daughter is? There are so many people, I can't tell which one, this one doesn't.

'Come to think of it, it only says my client's daughter [Char], so I wonder what she's like.

Ren said he was looking for his client's daughter.

Um, could it be the people from Guild-Azuma?

I turned towards the direction I heard the voice and a girl about my age called out to me.

'Yes, could it be you, Char?'

'Yes, my name is Char. You are Mr. Guild-Azma, who came here at my father's request, and thank you for touring the city with me.

When I look at her anew while listening to Char-san talk, she has beautiful yellow hair and green eyes, and her face looks vaguely young lady-like.

Serena walks up to Ms. Charu.

'I'm Serena, Guildmaster of Guild-Azuma, and it's good to see you today, Miss Char.

Ms. Charu grabs Serena's hand.

Your name is Char, but I'll call you Serena, and it's nice to meet you too, today.

'Yes! Char-not Char! Nice to meet you.

Myu, Rem and I also went around the city with Charu after our introductions. We visited some of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and I went to a tool shop to buy some unique summons and magic books.

I had a lunch at a restaurant in town Cagali. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

[cotton candy and beer-style juice] and [shrimp pilaf] After Lem gulped down a full-body drink.

The area around my mouth is covered in foam, like a whisker. I wipe Rem's face clean and Serena, Miu and Charu are busy talking.

(Thank goodness Charu looks like he's having fun. It's a good thing that they have cotton candy on the menu and the more you eat, the more the color of the cotton candy changes and the more you eat, the less sweet the fulbee is and the more refreshing it tastes. (The Devil Shrimp Pilaf is also very tasty.

Speaking of which, you said in your request that you're doing a great job of not hating your job, but what kind of work do you do Char? If we have time, we'll ask again.

After we finished eating, we headed to the last place of attraction for Char, what we saw was a rather large building.

It is the building that will teach you about the history of alchemy and magic here and what life was like in the past [magic alchemy roots].

This is the last place you'll ever be, Master Char.

Mew is kind of tense or different from the usual atmosphere. After Serena and the others went to the mansion because they were worried about her.

What's wrong with Miu Miu is acting strangely.

Dear Ren, I sense great magic and a different kind of power in this house. But I do not know what it is.

I wonder if Miu Miu, who feels power from a place like this museum, can see other things because she's a dragon, it was a long time ago, so it's tremendous, but after all, spirits and things like that live here.........................no.

Mew Reneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

After asking Mew to let me know if there's a different feeling if Serena is calling me to come in again, Mew and I go inside the Magic Alchemy Roots pavilion.

☆☆☆　　

A man's screams echoed through the residential area lined with houses on the south side of the city Kagari.

''Guhaha!''

A man with a heavy build faints when he finishes screaming. There's only one man left.

"Who the hell are you? I didn't know my men couldn't hold a girl back! What a humiliation!

My men were stretched out, and despite the fact that there were about fifteen of them, they were knocked out by only one girl.

'I'm just a passing [white cat] warning you to drop your weapons immediately and surrender.

The man yells at the girl to shut up and pulls out a dagger and approaches her. The man throws the dagger and then draws another dagger.

The movement was the movement of a [profession] assassin.

But the girl doesn't even try to avoid it, she opens her mouth and sings

Then the dagger bounced in the middle of nowhere. The man was horrified at the sight.

'How absurd! [Harmonigia]!

'It's already too late to notice~'

Man oh man! He fell down and fainted, screaming.

The girl puts on her hood with ears and puts her hands to her ears.

'This is White Cat South, this is cleared, we will continue to escort the princess, contact over.

After removing it from his hand, the white cat disappeared.

After the white cat disappeared, the unconscious men were caught by the city's military police and taken away.

◆◆◆

I walked into the building with Miu and looked around at the history and culture of the city, and inside were displays of appliances and household items from this world, which apparently often come up when the summoning fails.

(I doubt the wizards of the past ever thought they'd see the appliances that failed to summon them on display.

The last exhibition room was a room with various stone tablets.

On the way, Serena wanted to stop at a gift shop and said she'll join us later, and Miu said she's going to take a break with Remu at the rest area and then join us.

It's only me and Charu in the tablet room right now.

"Shall we go around the tablet with me until we meet up with Serena and the others, Ren?

Yes, but there are more tablets in here than in the other rooms, and the one in the middle is bigger than the others.

The largest tablet in this room stood on the largest tablet in the room.

The writing of this country and its ancient history? Maybe it's because it's painted more than the other paintings.

Charu and I looked at the picture on the tablet side by side.

This tablet is about a gate that appeared in this country a long time ago to grant a great wish and a key.

'A key, as I recall, was needed to grant a wish on a gate. So gates that grant wishes appeared long ago.

A long time ago, keys and gates appeared, and now keys and gates appear again. I wonder if there was something like Serena that I wanted to wish for a long time ago. I don't know if that wish ever came true.

Charu was told the meaning on the tablet and left the room and then joined Serena and the others.

Beebe! I open the menu screen, and when I see a map of this city, I see a red marker, and I see that there's an enemy coming toward this mansion!

The enemy is coming our way, but why is it here? For now. I tell Serena that the enemy is approaching, and then I tell Char that I want her to stay in this building.

'What exactly is the enemy?'

'Ren has a spell that lets him know which side he's on, Char, so wait for me in this building and I'll come get you as soon as I can.

Serena and I go out first, followed by Mew and Remu.

'Serena, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that we were only supposed to have fun in this city for one day, but I didn't expect you to see the enemy approaching.

Charu's face slumped, but then he looked as if he'd made up his mind to do something.

◆◆◆

A group of bandits surround the outside of the building where Ren and the others are, and the leader of this bandit, a man with a huge body, carries a large axe in his hand.

It's a good idea to get rid of it and get the reward. Hey! Bastards! We're going in to that building!

"Hey brother!

Wind! Windcutter, cut through it all!

Geez.

A blade of wind slices through the man's body and the man falls straight down. As soon as Serena's wind magic hits, Miu and Ren step forward.

"We, the guild [Azuma], will now subdue the bandits and defend the mansion. Huh, it's decided!

Serena's smug bandit leader coo! He groaned.

'How dare you guys interrupt me! You guys will beat that guild first!

"Hey brother!

The thieves are looking at us! Miu jumped high and landed at the bandits on the roof and held up two long swords after landing on them.

''If you'll excuse me, Thieves, I'll let you all get some sleep.

The men of the banditry are momentarily startled, but soon they are ready for battle.

She attacks her, but with a long sword held in one hand, she slashes the men who attack her precisely enough not to die.

(Serena-sama must not kill the people of the bandit group as much as possible. I will keep my promise.)

But the bandits outnumbered Mew by far.

It's hard to deal with this on your own.

'Geez!'

A scream comes from a distance away from Mew, and then one scream after another.

Yo, Mew, that's a rougher one!

The young pirate who appeared in front of Miu Miu is dressed in the clothes of a young pirate and has an oddly shaped sword in one hand.

As I recall, you belong to the city's Kagari branch guild, the Gran Centurio, and you're an expert in aggressive fighting, Touya-sama.

The young man who was called Touya chuckled.

''You have the same business as always, Miu Miu! And the rest of the guys are fighting bandits, too.

Myu and Touya stopped talking and turned their gaze towards the bandits.

A group of what appeared to be reinforcements of the bandits came up to the roof, Mew holding a sword and Touya holding a sword in one hand and a [weapon] hook anchor with the tip of the sword inset into a tube in the other hand.

Master Touya, I'll see you later.

Okay, let's go fancy!

Miu and Touya ran into a group of bandits.

◆ ◆ ◆

After Mew climbed onto the roof, the leader of the bandit group held a summoning stone from his pocket and raised it to the sky.

''How dare you guys stand in my way, come on! Low Golem, the Military Giant who guards the Earth Spirit Gnomes!

A low golem appears in front of us, and the golem is goooooooo! I shouted.

'Ren! That golem is earthy, so you have to use a wind technique to attack it, so you have to attract the golem while I cast wind magic.

Okay!

I pulled the magna from its sheath and ran, smashing it into the golem's leg! Then the golem looks at me. He swung his huge arm down, but I avoided it, the golem swung his arm down several times, but I avoided them all, and from behind me came the signal to activate Serena's magic.

'Let's go, Ren, Spirit of the Wind, defeat my enemy! Air Tornado!

A huge tornado appears at the feet of the golem, and the golem trapped inside flails about with a goooooo. I kick the ground and jump high.

(The air tornado is working, but if I can't defeat it with just the tornado right now!

I take the magna out of the sky above and point it at the golem below. Switching to gunner mode, I scream.

Go! Fire Bullet!　

When the magic bullets hit the golem, its entire body blazes up and the flames increase in size with the tornado wind.

The Fire Tornado.

I've acquired a new skill. Linking Techniques.

Teamwork has been upgraded to level 60.

You've earned a new title, Master of Technique.

I landed safely on the ground and opened the menu screen.

The log shows that you've leveled up and you've earned a new title. I'm not sure if this was earned because I used the technique with Serena. We'll see later.

The leader of the bandits froze in surprise at the fact that the Low Golem had turned to ashes in an instant, but soon came to himself and was filled with anger.

''In this case, I, the leader of the bandits, will have to take care of it!

A masked man stood behind the bandit leader man who had taken the liberty of blowing bubbles and falling down.

(The masked man took him down. But I didn't feel any sign of him at all, and I wondered if he was on our side, which is a blue marker on the map).

But the moment the masked man turns his gaze toward Ren, the masked man suddenly appears in front of me!

''Nice to meet you, Guild [Azuma] member Ren, I'm the Guild Master of the Guild [Gran Centurio] named 'Zechs', and I want to thank you all for helping me capture the bandits, thank you.

The masked man suddenly appeared and thanked me. I was surprised to see him come out of nowhere and asked the masked man why the bandits attacked the city.

I asked him why the bandits had attacked this city and this building. Mr. Sharua.

The air becomes tense for a moment.

I'm sure the bandits stole a lot of treasures in this building that could be turned into gold coins, they must have raided the city to steal them. It's also rumored that the location of the Key is mentioned on the tablet, which may be the reason why the bandits came to town.

The masked man said without hesitation, because sure, the building has a tablet with old gold coins and tools and a wish-fulfillment gate.

But what is the other reason for the masked man?

I think so.

It was Ren who thought the masked man's words sounded as if they were someone else's business.

◆ ◆ ◆

After seeing off the bandits, who were being captured and taken away by the military police for every single one of them, I joined Char.

''Is everyone okay with Serena, are you guys hurt anywhere or something?''

Serena is totally fine! Miu is not injured, and I wonder if Charu-sama and Rem were excited to see us in battle. Now me too! But Serena says no and Rem is depressed.

'Char seems to be doing okay too, where are we going to go sightseeing this time...'

No, I've had enough of sightseeing with Serena and the others and Ren in this city of Cagalli, and for the first time in a long time I've been able to forget about work and eat and chat with friends, and that alone was more than enough for me, thank you very much.

Char's expression was satisfied, then the city Cagali, to the station where the railway runs [Starlight].

We see Char off. Serena and Remu have Serena in tears as Mew promises Charu that they will see each other again, this time not as a request, but as a promise. Mew prepares a handkerchief and Lem squeezes Charu's leg and promises to see him again! called

''Char, actually, today is my first request since we formed our first guild, and I'll never forget what happened today.

I'll never forget my time with Ren, and I'll see you again, Ren.

Charu holds out her hand, and I hold out mine, and we shake hands.

We promised to walk around town with Charu, Serena and the others again somewhere else.

After seeing off Charu on the locomotive, we left the station and decided to stay at an inn somewhere since it was already nighttime outside.
