Chapter 14: In the First Village (7)

Chapter 14: In the First Village (7) Magic book.

In terms of old games, this is an item that can be called a skill book.

You can learn the skill by using it. It is a simple and easy-to-understand effect.

In WM, the purpose is slightly different.

The fact that you can learn a skill by using it is the same, but just because you use an item does not mean you learn that skill right away.

The magic book contains instructions on how to learn the magic. This method is slightly different depending on the world view, but the point is that you can learn magic by learning it exactly as it is written in the magic book.

They say... Users can simply learn it by using it like an item according to the settings.

I do that too, so I heard about how NPCs use it.

Would it be easier to understand if I told you that the magic book itself is not an item, but that the magic book is just a book and the contents written in it are important?

It's just a book, so it's not a consumable, but a rare item with a small drop amount.

It varies depending on the rank of the magic written, but in general, it can be considered expensive. Even if it is a cheap magic book for low-level magic, the average farmer would have to be very prepared to buy it.

I heard that high-rank magic books are also used among wizard couples when proposing.

You're giving that to a girl you're only dating?

Isn't it too heavy?

It seems like everyone has that sentiment.

As a subtle atmosphere suddenly formed, Runon added hastily.

"Oh, no! It's not that expensive. There's no way the magic book I can save up and buy is that expensive!"

"Then what does it mean? Why is it a magic book in the first place?"

"Ah. Soira doesn't know. "I'll explain that." Seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Kiven joined the conversation.

"When we were kids, we used a simple status scroll."

"Uh. "I think I heard it briefly before."

"At that time, Runon and I just showed up normally, but Sophie showed up with high magic power. So much so that he could become a wizard. Even though Sophie is the hunter's daughter, she still looks better as a wizard than as a hunter, right? If you become a wizard, you will be treated well. So after seeing that, Runon often told Sophie to become a wizard... "I didn't know they even prepared a magic book to do that."

"Kiven, if you say that, it sounds like I forced you. Sophie also said that she would learn it if she had a magic book."

"I? No, I've said that before. I don't think I'm really going to live... "

How high is the magic power for you to say that?

I was curious, so I checked Sophie's status.

Strength, stamina, and agility were all 10.

Surprisingly high? Maybe I'm a hunter's daughter, but it seems that learning while walking around has been as effective as exercising in moderation.

Intelligence is 9.9, which is the same as Runon's, but slightly higher than Runon's. Still, there is no comparison to me.

This can't be helped. Intelligence is also a number that is adjusted based on me.

If I, who is highly regarded even in modern times, is said to be less intelligent than a village girl in a medieval setting, the setting would be wrong.

And finally, 'magic attribute 10.'

Oh... Runon deserves to be promoted like that.

Although it is not a very outstanding level, it is a value that allows a wizard to use beginner magic without difficulty and even handle intermediate magic if he or she works hard.

If you work hard and increase your magic power, you may be able to achieve success in your own way.

What? And it also has abilities.

Runon said the same thing, but is the first meeting after starting the game meaningful?

The ability itself is not very rare. It's hard to find someone with a rare ability. People with a certain level of influence in this world can be considered to have it. People like famous adventurers, royalty, etc.

In that respect, Sophie was a rare case.

「Ability: Super concentration」

"When you need to concentrate beyond a certain level, you enter a state of deep concentration regardless of all surrounding circumstances. Concentration is released when the task is completed or after a certain period of time has passed."

This is my first time seeing this ability... It seems like a very good ability for a wizard.

There are many moments that require concentration, such as when chanting magic or studying.

His abilities are not bad, and he has abilities.

It's definitely a beneficial status to pursue a career as a wizard.

"It's because I like it. "I want to do it for you."

"Runon... "

While I was reading Sophie's status, a strangely sweet air was flowing between the two.

It's so fucking annoying. Damn it.

They haven't even confessed yet, but they're already flirting like a couple on their first date.

This body, 2X years old. Are you saying you want to see the resentment of someone who has no dating experience?

'I can't even confess that it won't work out anyway.' 'I feel like I'm living too busy.' 'I think I'll be teased by the surrounding girls.' Etc. I've heard all kinds of reasons.

Of course, even if I had dashed, I don't think they would have accepted it...

Who knows the contradictory feeling of wanting to be coerced sexually, but wanting to enjoy deep pure love romantically?

I don't know either. Anyway, it's an annoying castle wall.

"Okay, that's enough. It's okay! It's none of my business whether you guys stick together or fight each other. This is the end! I'm going to receive an escort request and leave town as soon as possible. You guys take care of it!"

"Wow, rice cake..." "

Thinking about it makes me angry.

I forcibly shattered the sweet atmosphere and returned to the room.

There is nothing more to do in this town with this, so I can accept the request tomorrow...

"Soira. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Ok. "You can't live at Runon's house forever."

"You can sleep together at my house..." . "It's not as big as an inn."

"Oh, you can't do that. I'm sorry, but I don't want to settle down yet."

"Soira... "

The next day.

Luckily, there was a request to escort a regular commercial trip to a nearby city on the same day, so I received it right away and was saying goodbye to the Runonnes.

Sophie holds on to me as if I'll never see her again.

Runon was right next to him.

They were close before, but they became even closer than that. I guess we'll hold hands a lot now.

Maybe the conversation went well after I left.

It's a bit heartbreaking, but let's hope you're happy that it's come to this.

Wait, now that I think about it, there was a penalty to Runon's abilities, right?

NTR constitution. It was a penalty that aroused a lewd affair with the opposite sex.

If you leave it alone, something very exciting is sure to happen.

Threat? Coercion? Rape? Either way, it is very welcome to me.

But I also know that my tastes are not typical.

Since Sophie probably wouldn't want that, I decided to give her a warning.

"Runon."

"Why?"

"I'm always with Sophie. If something seems strange, be sure to check until the end and resolve it. Okay?"

"Uh, huh?"

"Understand? Say you understand."

"Huh? Uh. Okay..."

Even though Runon was pushed back by the momentum, he answered correctly.

Good. With this, I have done enough.

Lastly, I looked back at Kiven.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"What... Thank you. In many ways."

"Yes. Right. I'd appreciate it. He also gave me an experience that I would do for the first time in my life. Isn't that right?"

"W-no, you. What does a woman say?"

It was a bit amusing to see him so embarrassed.

"Ahaha. "I feel like I care too much."

"Hmm. Anyway. Other than that, thank you. It's only three days. It seems like we've known each other for a while."

"Okay. I had fun too."

There was once a situation where I could enjoy it.

"So, I'm leaving now? "There's nothing more to say, right?"

We hugged each other one last time.

Sophie is a bitch.

Runon has a girlfriend now, so just shake hands.

Kiven gently hugged her while pressing her chest. It's kind of fun to react subtly.

After saying goodbye, I finally left the village.

It was my first town after starting the game, but it was fun in its own way.

If you get the chance, won't you come again?

This town, I mean... Hmm...

Uh.

What was the name of the village?

"Wait for a sec. What was the name of this village?"

"What? No, you didn't know that either? "It's Coris Village."

"Coris. Coris... Good. I remembered. Then I'll really go!"

"Anyway, I'm feeling dizzy... "

And I really left.

Mixing in with the peddlers, sitting in the back of the carriage and trudging along. And.

I enjoyed seeing the scenery more than I thought.

In the wide-open field, there is a green forest at the end of the field of vision, and the sky is blue.

It's a common sight while playing WM, but it's a sight I always like.

As you sway with the vibration of the carriage, feel the wind moving forward, and bask in the warm sunlight, you inadvertently feel drowsy.

But I can't sleep. It's a bit of an escort.

Without any reward for putting in all that effort, after about half a day, the carriage arrived in the city without incident.

That's right. It was a nearby city to begin with, and the road there couldn't be dangerous, hiring an E-class adventurer as an escort at best.

They probably hired him with the intention of chasing away wild animals.

Even if it's close, a city is a city. A high castle wall surrounded it.

The merchant and I, who had entered the city just before the castle gates closed, exchanged a request completion sign and headed straight to the lodgings.

Because merchants have to do business starting tomorrow morning.

I'm going to do it now, so I can sleep well today and start working tomorrow.
