Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Episode 10: Shopping turns around

Ready to go out, Arcs left Rayseft's mansion.

It is not a recommended world for aristocratic children who are still less than ten to walk outside alone, but there is nothing to complain about coming and going because Arc is abandoned.

Sometimes I encounter my father Joshua when I go in and out, but I hardly get involved just by staring at him, so I think he treats me like he's not there.

... the country where Arcs lives is the kingdom of Rhinol, an absolute kingdom in the middle of a giant continent.Compared to other countries, magic technology has developed, and the Magic Court, an academic institution, has been set up in the King's City as a shield behind the status and rights of magicians.

Therefore, although the national territory is not large, it is able to survive despite the military pressure of the British Empire, a super-Power in the northwest of the continent.

The development of King's City is also quite remarkable.Of course, it is not comparable to the cities of the man's world, but the roads of King's City are almost paved with cobblestones, and the buildings are not bungalows, but three- and four-story buildings.Stone and brick are used a lot, and the roof is colorful and beautiful.

Instead of lamps, [shiny glass] is installed in the shop along the main street, and it is not as dark at night as expected.

While swinging his shoulder bag, Arc leaves the aristocratic quarters and heads towards the main street.

The city is busy and crowded.This is also evidence that the royal family is laying the foundations for good governance.Because of his knowledge of the world of men, it sounded really bad when it came to absolute royalty, but it was more stable than the country adopting the republican system, so there was also something that could not be said around it.

Streets include lodgings, personal grocery stores, chamber of commerce stores, men's world readings, weapons stores, and more.Because the roads are wide, there are stalls where you can take out snacks.

Of course, there are bookstores where they sell entertainment books and specialized books, as well as magazines with spell texts, guidebooks, and explanatory notes.Among them, there are so many variations in fashion magazines that the wizard and his apprentices often buy the popular spell composition.

... for Arcs, it's sad that most of them aren't helpful.

When I looked inside the store, I saw the man in the coat staring at the book and murmuring to himself with bumps.I have trouble sleeping or my face is terribly pale.It was like a romantic life in a man's world all night long.He's probably a Magic Court student because he's staring at the text in a hole.

In this world, bureaucratic positions such as military and civilian officers are almost a noble privilege and are therefore monopolized by the nobles.However, since magician-related government positions cannot be filled without magical aptitude, they are not limited to aristocrats, and magicians are also gathered from the civilian population.

Again, the Kingdom of Rhinol adopts a qualification system.

And there are two qualifications a magician can acquire.

[Alliance Certified Magic Mentor Examination] and [National Magic Mentor Examination].

Here in the Kingdom of Rhinol, you can hold the position of magic teacher for the first time with one of those qualifications.

The man who was reading aloud is also encouraging to study in search of those qualifications.

I don't know if it is an Alliance Certification or a National Certification, but I hear it is quite difficult, especially for the National Certification Magic Mentor Examination.Twenty years after the establishment of the qualification system, [certified magician] has produced more than 100 qualified people each year, while there are still eleven who have passed the national qualification examination and become [national qualified magician], so the difficulty is high.

Arcs, one day, thinking of himself, goes to the store of his choice.

Eventually, I arrived at the big store that I always used.When Crave first brought me here, I was introduced to the owner and warden of the store, so even if I visit alone, they treat me like a guest.

"I'm sorry."

As soon as I walked through the gates, a familiar guard appeared.A smiling, thread-eyed man.I get the impression that my body is full and round.

"This is... Mr. Arcs.What can I do for you today?

I told my child something that was too clumsy.And a unique tone and kneading hand.The smell comes first, but my uncle says that this is a combination of the handling of the noble children and the original condition of the warden.He seems to be competent, so he doesn't seem to mind.

"I came to buy magic silver today."

Really? Really?I will prepare it now. "

"Ah... that's right.And a little green pigment, please. "

"Yes, sir."

When the warden says so, he sends instructions to his subordinates to pick up the item.

Engraved with magic silver, but pigments are also important.The engraving spells are compatible with the color and pigments need to be used.Gold, sunshine, green and blue, especially rugged glass, are expensive and seem to have a great effect when used for engraving.

(Speaking of which, what about toxicity?

When it comes to mineral-based pigments, the toxicity comes to mind first.In the medieval world of cadmium and water-soluble lead, especially men, flowers, green and blue, including arsenic, are said to be fierce.However, when I received the explanation of the engraving, I didn't care because there was no talk around it.

"... people in this world seem surprisingly sturdy, and I wonder if it's okay to go out there."

As I was murmuring about such a thing, the warden called out.

"Mr. Arcs, Mr. Arcs.May I ask you something?

"What's wrong?

"No, Arcs is handling fine parts, but I wondered what to do in the future."

"What do you mean?

"Yes. What about individual items, engraved weapons, etc...?

"That's right. I don't know if I can do it right now, but I think I'm going to do something about it."

In the Kingdom, competition has begun for the development of convenient items using engraving technology, such as brilliant glass and magic lighters.I would have stayed within my hobbies, but I was just thinking about making something.

Really? Really?Well, then, I was sure that you would wholesale it to us... what do you think?

I don't mind wholesaling, but...

Please pay me for that.

"Of course!

Some would say dirty, but money is important.Especially if you are removed from the trail, it is decided that you will be banished at some age.Whether you think it's hard or hard, you should talk about rewards properly.

On the other hand, as a Chamber of Commerce, I think they want to speak up to people who have the skills, whether they are children or not.The wizard has few engravers, so I think I want to keep a business partner.

Eventually, my men will come back with the goods.

"Magic silver and green pigments.This way. "

Well, here we go.

"Yes, yes! Thank you every time!

When I pay, the warden responds with a good smile and vigour.At first glance, I can't judge whether I like business or money, but I can't help but guess that at this age.

... and then I looked around a few stores and thought it was time to go back to the Mansion.

"- No! Don't come!

From somewhere, I heard a loud voice that seemed to belong to the girl.

From the sound, you can see that it's pretty clogged up.

Hello? Case. That's how I look around.

Apparently, the source of the voice is close to the back street.

--Should I go get the guards?

I think so for a moment, but I can also think of it as just a child fighting.Kids basically make noise with a loud banging noise.In the square of Wangdushita Town, children often raise their voices like this and make noise.

It's hard to imagine what it sounds like in the back street, close to the commercial block.

(Well, I'm a kid too....)

Because of the memory of the sommelier man, it makes me feel subtle.

Regardless, I stepped into the back street to see what was going on.

(There's magic, and you can handle it.)

You can now use magic.Even an adult will not be able to take a step back.

Looking around for a while, a girl suddenly popped out of a lying alley.

"Oops...."

"Wow!?

The girl who jumped out stepped on her feet when she was about to bump into her.

The girl is a little out of balance - is the trunk good?Killed the momentum by spinning around on the spot and quickly adjusted his posture.

I am about the same age as myself.The long black hair is rough, the face is cute, and the eyes are rugged.She wears a white coat for children.

Behind the girl, I hear a man's voice.When I heard it, I said, "Where have you been?- "Over there." That kind of exchange.

Apparently, they're chasing the girl.

"Hey, um, uhh!

And then a girl comes to talk to me.But he was in a hurry and couldn't speak.

You probably want to tell her that she's being chased.

"This way!

――

Pull the girl's arm and pull her into the alley where she was hiding.Looking out of the corner and staring around, two naughty men appeared eventually - to put it badly.

You're looking for a girl, or you're looking everywhere.

Looking for a while, the men went in a different direction.

The girl who saw the situation exhaled relieved.

"Thank you. Thank you."

"You're welcome. That's right. Who are they?

"I don't know that either.When I walk nearby, I suddenly get surrounded, I see a gap and I run away, and then I chase you... and I chase you down the back street!?If I persevere!

As the girl talks, she starts to get excited about whether she remembers what happened.

"Does that mean it's grabbed or something?

"Yeah, maybe."

Well then, let's get to the front street-

"Wait."

All of a sudden, the girl cries out for restraint.Looking at her, she had a gesture of putting her fingers on her lips and being quiet.As I breathed honestly, I noticed that the footsteps were approaching.

I have good ears.

"Behind the alley."

Let's go, I suppose.Listening to her words, she proceeded to the back of the alley, mindful of the footsteps.

Through a dimly tunneled passage filled with brilliant glass and further down the back street.

However, the footsteps are approaching us without hesitation.

Keep looking for an alley exit and go further.

"What should I do? It's a trail....."

At the end, they were surrounded by high stone walls in three directions.I didn't know it was a dead end alley.

Was it bad that you accidentally pulled it into the alley?

"Sorry, it's my fault."

"Yeah, it's not your fault."

When you're dealing with it, a man eventually shows up.

Men dressed differently than the naughty men we were looking for earlier.Put on a dull brown jacket and get the impression of being tickled somewhere.

The face... isn't very good.

It was often said in men's worlds that people who are doing bad things will have bad faces, but this would be typical.

A girl takes a step forward to confront her bravery.

"... how did you know I was here?

"I looked for it as soon as I took care of the area.Well, you'll find him, won't you?

The snatcher makes a creepy laugh.

No matter how many people you have, it's hard to find them so quickly, no matter how many you divide them into.

Probably used magic.They must have improved their physical abilities and searched their surroundings to crush them.

I mean, this man who grabbed it,

"Wizard Master...."

"That's what it is. It'll take a lot of work."

A girl who seems to have gotten to the same answer says so, and the snatcher affirms his frustration.

And the girl,

"What the hell are you doing this to a kid?

"It's money.Especially a smart, cute kid like you. "

"Crowd....."

"Say whatever you want.Money is everything in this world.If I can get the money, I'll do whatever the crowd wants. "

That's what the snatcher said, and now he's turning to Arcs.

"Kihi, and that guy's kid looks cute too.Friends? If you take it, it's going to be a lot of money. "

That's what the snatcher laughs at.

"Kh...."

... to be honest, the situation is not good.

Even though I can use magic, I have absolutely no experience in battle, and there is a limitation that I have to run away with a girl, not by myself.

If the opponent wasn't a wizard, I wonder what would have happened if he had stood up.

I don't know how to get out of this.
