Chapter 118 - Magic Guidance

Perhaps due to the influence of the new work being on the cover of the daily ranking, Isekai Chief was ranked in the upper 100s overall for the first time in a long time in the daily ranking.

If you came from the new work and read this latest episode, it would really be a great honor to be the author.

If you are a reader of “Isekai Chief” and like the author’s writing, we would be very happy if you could pick up his new work as well (link is below the ad).

(T/N: I think he’s talking about this https://ncode.syosetu.com/n3017gm/)

In the end, I was assigned to teach Charlotte magic as originally planned.

However, the teaching will not end here but will continue in the future.

(…… I feel like I’ve got more problems. Well, it’s not a bad thing she is pursuing magic.)

If Charlotte, who had given up on improving her magic, was motivated to do so again with my help, it would be meaningful and worthwhile to teach her.

There is a limit to what can be taught in a day, but if it helps her to take another step forward, it is very meaningful.

And it would be a shame if a person as talented as she was had lost the desire to improve her magic. It was quite common for this kind of thing to flip a switch at a moment’s notice or in the right environment.

“…… Souya-sama, does it look good on me?”

Charlotte had changed into her academy uniform. However, only the tie was the one she had taken from Souya.

It was more modest than the white one-piece dress that had been transparent and looked good on her. The only thing is, I thought she said she had a neat image, but her body was mature and had a bewitching sexiness to it.

“It looks good on you. You even changed your changed clothes. This is not the academy, though.”

“Don’t you think it’s important to create the right atmosphere and environment if you’re going to start studying?”

“…… I don’t deny that. No, I think it really matters.”

Souya smiled thinly. He is a man who likes to move around in business suits, even though they were given to him by the goddess.

He had no right to say anything about that.

After two hours of instruction on magic, the two of them took a break to chat.

In the end, Shamil disappeared and never returned. He might have gone off somewhere with Charlotte’s cat.

(Shamil …… Well, it was my fault for bringing him here without any explanation.)

What I have learned from mentoring Charlotte is that she is very smart and to the point.

I knew that she had the background to aim for one or two more levels in magic.

And she has a wealth of knowledge, not just in magic. I felt she had a high aptitude for everything. However, I guessed that because of this, she might easily create an escape route when she hits a wall.

“…… Even if you say I have an aptitude for everything, It’s still half-baked. I sometimes envy those who excel in one art. Louise-san’s swordsmanship or Phyllis-san’s sniping.”

“I’ve had two opportunities to see Louise-san’s swordsmanship. I don’t think I can imitate her very well …… Phyllis-kun is also very good. I heard she rose to the platinum-class with a single bow. “

“Phyllis-san is a pure shooter. She said she only exercises wind spirit techniques to assist in sniping and to hide her appearance. She once complained that the name “bow saint” didn’t fit her image. It seems that she was famous in Royal Capital.”

The topic of the Royal Capital came up, and Souya recalled being scouted by a Knight of the Royal Capital in the square earlier this morning. He then wondered why she would come here to Ilstadt after having gained fame in the Royal Capital.

“From the Royal Capital. I wonder if Phyllis-kun had some attraction to this Ilstadt.”

“Well …… it looks like he is accompanying Siren-san rather than Ilstadt. They seem to live together and there are rumors that they are good friends. Siren-san has also expressed her intention to stay in Irstadt until the Red Horn case is resolved …… That’s why I think they will stay for a while.”

The explanation made Soyya think of Lingen and the two people who accompanied him on his return trip, a tall priest with a rugged air and a quiet, black-haired shooter with serenity. That being said, Phyllis seemed to stay by Siren’s side more often than not during the trip.

I had the impression that she was emotionally unavailable, but apparently, that was not the case.

“…… Well, now that I’ve finished my studies. I’d like to take it a step further so that we can be good friends too.”

Charlotte smiled like a cat and, with agile movements, pushed Souya, who was sitting on the bed, down and took a position as if to cover him.

The mood was decadent, coupled with the state of the room.

“…… Charlotte-kun, this is troubling.”

“Souya-sama, no matter how many times I try to seduce you, you never seem to get into it at all …… It’s not like you don’t have desires, though. Do you dislike this form of approach?”

“How could I not like it? How could I not be happy to be popular with young girls? But I don’t think it would do you any good to be attracted to me.”

Souya looked into Charlotte’s eyes with an empty stare.

“You’re thinking about Mia-chan, aren’t you? …… I don’t have to be the best.”

“…… No.”

“Then it’s someone else.”

“Maybe it’s not a person.”

Charlotte looked unhappy at the reply, then kissed Souya on the left cheek.

“I’ll let you off the hook with that for today …… Don’t forget your promise to teach me to study again. I’ll definitely make you fall for me next time.”

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

When Souya left Charlotte’s house, Shamil, in human form, was waiting for him on the road beyond the front door.

His mouth is trembling in some sort of amusement.

“Master. It seems that you were able to refresh yourself with Miss Charlotte …… Ouch, don’t pull my ear.”

“It’s none of your business. I was going to use you as a shield, too, so I’ll leave it at that …… Was it Stella? I guess you were playing with Stella-kun’s pet cat”

In response to Souya’s sharp gaze, Shamil excused himself by holding out his hands.

“No, sir. I asked her to show me around the city and exchange information with me. I can gather information from cats, after all …… So, how did it go?”

“…… I honestly didn’t feel bad about it. Apart from that, I also feel bad about it …… I’m both excited and depressed thinking about the next time.”

“I don’t know about you, but I’m glad you didn’t feel bad …… Master. Where to next?”

Souya had been working on one idea since early this morning.

There seem to be no accepted cases, but perhaps it could go without problems with the treatment of different species.

“The Adventurers’ Guild. I would like to register you as an adventurer on blank-class, just to gather information.”
