Chapter 196
Proofread: Shiro
Late afternoon . Today I took a rest from going into the dungeon, and instead relaxed myself at the living room .
And the people who were relaxing with me were Celeste and Leia .
For Celeste, it’s because today’s weather is the Magic Storm, as for Leia, she obviously would follow me, so if I was resting, she’ll do the same as well .
[Is it alright to not go to the dungeon today?] (Celeste)
While nomming on the snacks that Emily made, Celeste asked me .
[It’s fine . Today’s my rest day . I’ve already created a rule for myself . ](Ryouta)
[What kind of rule would that be?] (Celeste)
[It’s where I would not work after 5pm in the evening . ] (Ryouta)
[It should be basic . ] (Celeste)
Celeste nodded .
The word [Basic] was casually added .
Celeste should know well to not break yourself .
[Besides that, I decided to have a two days off a week . ] (Ryouta)
[2 days off?] (Celeste)
[It’s my dream to have a two days off a week, following the calender’s weekend . Previously, it would go something along the lines of [Saturday, Sunday? What’s that? Is that delicious?]] (Ryouta)
[I don’t quite understand, but taking a break is a good thing… . . Should I follow as well . ] (Celeste)
[Hm? Did you say something Celeste . ] (Ryouta)
[Nope, I didn’t say anything . ] (Celeste)
Celeste then happily smiled .
You know, nowadays when I look at Celeste, she’s becoming more and more beautiful .
It’s not the kind where you would say “Aww she’s cute”, but just pure beauty .
She’s already such a beauty, so it’s like adding up more marks to it .
What’s more, she’s inside the mansion that Emily has revamped, when she’s inside our mansion, it’s like adding onto something which is already beautiful even more beautiful .
Hmm, the example isn’t good .
Like a tiger with wings? No maybe a strong man with a halberd? Or like having Mona Lisa as a default Windows XP wallpaper? (TLN: Basically all these idioms means that strengthening something which is already the best even more)
Basically I have reached my end of thinking and even started to doubt myself, but regardless she’s amazing .
It’s enough to look at her and say she’s wonderful .
[It’s like Master and his revolver . Is that fine too?] (Leia)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
Leia suddenly opened her mouth which startled me .
[What’s that supposed to mean?] (Ryouta)
[It’s the answer to Master’s thoughts . A metaphor of a situation where a strong person gains a powerful tool in their hands, such is what I concluded after some thoughts . ] (Leia)
[Ryouta-san and his revolver, that might sound nice . ] (Celeste)
[NO no no no wait, I do understand where you’re getting at, but I beg you, please don’t use this outside of this mansion . It’ll spell out disaster if a certain aristocrat were to hear about this . ] (Ryouta)
[If you’re talking about Cell-san, then he would’ve spread it around the world in just a day . ] (Celeste)
[Exactly, so please stop it . ] (Ryouta)
If it’s him I’m sure he will seriously do it, he’ll really make the saying [Ryouta and his revolver] a trend .
… . .
………
………… . .
He can’t possibly hear any of this… . . right?
I frantically turned around and looked at every corner, then went to the window and scanned everywhere .
Luckily I did not see the appearance of Cell .
He shouldn’t be resting today, but he might be bored and would come here .
[By the way… . The lady, what is the status of Leia?] (Celeste)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[Wait, you don’t know?] (Celeste)
[Now that you mention… . . ] (Ryouta)
I looked at Leia .
By now, I should’ve checked her status long before .
[I know that you’re a Final F . but what about the other status . ] (Ryouta)
[I do not know . ] (Leia)
[Then use this please . ] (Celeste)
Celeste then handed over the Portable K-I-A Board to her .
Then following the flow, I asked Leia to use it .

[Oh… . . ] (Ryouta)
As I looked at Leia’s status, it was a spectacular All F mark .
Both her ability and her drops were beautifully F .
And plus her level is at the highest of 1, which means I can’t do anything to help her .
[I’m sorry Leia, being forced to be put under such a state . ] (Ryouta)
[? Why is Master apologizing?] (Leia)
[Etto, that’s because…never mind . ] (Ryouta)
Seems like Leia doesn’t mind it at all . And she doesn’t understand why I felt apologetic to her .
That in itself is sad, it saddens me even more knowing that she had her soul taken out of her, and that she couldn’t respond to my sadness as well .
And because of that, she doesn’t mind it .
If this continues, it might go pass my sentiment .
[It’s nothing . Anyways, with this status, it’s better if you follow me from now on . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes . ] (Leia)
[I’m counting on you Leia . ] (Ryouta)
[For the sake of Master . ] (Leia)
[By the way, Ryouta-san . ] (Celeste)
[Hm? What other things are you curious about Celeste?] (Ryouta)
[If her strongest level is at 1, it means she’s the same as Ryouta, so isn’t it better for her to take the magic fruit?] (Celeste)
[… . . Oh?] (Ryouta)
I clapped my hands together .
I didn’t notice it, but because Celeste is a genuine magician, she would’ve noticed this sooner than me .
The magic fruit .
In exchange of lowering your level by 1, once you eat it, you will obtain a randomize magic .
☆
The Basement floor of the mansion, I placed the magic fruit at the end of the corner which I bought recently .
Celeste also stepped far away, then I was equipped with Leia .
After waiting, the magic fruit hatched into a rogue monster .
It’s a Liquid metal monster, then it immediately took the shape of me .
[Let’s go Leia . ] (Ryouta)
{Yes . } (Leia)
After Leia spoke with no emotion, we started fighting the Metal Ryouta .
While equipping Leia, arms were stretched out from the protector guard .
I then fired Repetition at the monster who can copy 80% of the targeted person .
The reason why I equipped Leia is because I wanted to see whether it would copy the arms as well, which it did, and it’s not that I want Leia to fight .
Since the results were obtained, I killed it with Repetition .
Then the Metal Ryouta dropped another magic fruit .
Originally there’s a star on top of the fruit, but after defeating the rogue monster, the star turned into 2 stars .
[Return Leia . ] (Ryouta)
After retrieving the magic fruit, I asked Leia to return to her human form .
Then I handed the magic fruit to her .
[Try eating it . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes . ] (Leia)
Leia obediently ate the magic fruit .
Her expressionless way of eating the magic fruit was kinda surreal .
[I have learnt two new magic . ] (Leia)
[Oh . ] (Ryouta)
[So she did . ] (Celeste)
Celeste and I looked at each other, and nodded simultaneously .
So it seems that even Leia could learn magic after eating the magic fruit .
[What kind of magic can you use Leia . ] (Ryouta)
[I can’t use it . ] (Leia)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[The magic that I’ve learned are Inferno and Raging Mist . Both Magic requires me to use MP, but because of my MP being at F, I cannot use it . ](Leia)
[Aah… . . ] (Ryouta)
[That’s right, if your MP is at F, you practically can’t use any of the magic spells out there . ] (Celeste)
Again Celeste and I looked at each other, this time both of us could see the colour of disappointment in each of us .
When you eat the magic fruit, your max level will permanently drop by one .
That kind of demerit has no use for me and Leia, where our highest level is already at 1 . Hence why we could take the magic fruit without any consequences .
However, the problem with this is that magic needs MP to cast .
If your entire status is at F, there’s really no good way to use it .
[I thought it would work . ] (Celeste)
[… . No, it might just work . ] (Ryouta)
[Eh?] (Celeste)
[Before she learns a basic magic, we’ll let her eat as many magic fruits as she can . ] (Ryouta)
[Wait a minute Ryouta-san, 1 magic fruit right now is worth 2 million Piros, and you’ll learn a random magic, so it’s like throwing 2 million Piros away . ] (Ryouta)
[Celeste, let me teach you a good phrase . My colleague said it back in the day . ] (Ryouta)
[Wh, what could it be… . ] (Celeste)
Celeste tensed up, and then I told her .
[Before you pull a gacha, the probability of it getting is always 100% . ](Ryouta) (TLN: I’m not entirely sure whether it’s this meaning, or it’s the gacha logic as in “As long as it’s 1%, if I pull 100 times, I’ll surely get it!” kind?)
[Isn’t that just what a useless human would think!?] (Celeste)
Celeste shouted .
Going through the words of Celeste, I once again went out and bought another magic fruit .
For the second magic fruit, I hatched it into a rogue monster, and instantly kill it with Repetition .
Then the magic fruit that dropped, I let Leia eat it .
[I have learned two magics . ] (Leia)
[How about now?] (Ryouta)
[End・Of・Calamity . ] (Leia)
[That sounds like an extremely strong magic! But it sounds like you can’t use it as well . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes . ] (Leia)
[How about the other one?] (Ryouta)
[Revive . ] (Leia)
[Revive . . so a resurrection magic? That sounds like a strong magic as well, and I’m sure you can’t use it as well . ] (Ryouta)
[Ryouta-san… . . ] (Celeste)
Celeste who was looking over me showed a complicated expression .
A 2 million piro gacha, thrown out of the window—–it was that sort of complicated expression she was showing .
Leaving that expression aside, I continued pulling .
Now for the next magic fruit—-was what I wanted to do when suddenly .
[I can use it . ] (Leia)
[Eh?} (Ryouta)
[I can use Revive . ] (Leia)
After Leia said that, both Celeste and I were shocked .
[You can use it? I thought Revive was an extremely powerful magic?](Ryouta)
[Aah… . . ] (Leia)
[What’s wrong Leia?] (Ryouta)
[I just remember the details of Revive . If that’s the case then she indeed can use it . ] (Celeste)
[Is that so?] (Ryouta)
[Yeap . It’s what people call a Trash Magic . Normally it’s the most useless out of every other useless magic . ] (Celeste)
[… . . Normally?] (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded, then asked me to wait for a bit as she went upstairs, then come back down immediately .
For some reason she brought a carrot with her .
Then she handed the carrot to Leia .
[Try using Revive on this carrot . ] (Celeste)
[I understand . ] (Leia)
After receiving the carrot, she used the magic as ordered .
Trash Magic・Revive .
At that moment .
It was not a joke, it was instant .
The Carrot… . . hatched into a Drowsy Slime .
[This is!?] (Ryouta)
[Revive, meaning to resurrect a monster, to turn a drop item into a rogue monster . ] (Celeste)
[… . So that’s why it’s called a Trash Magic . ] (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded .
This magic really has no use in this world .
The only thing I could think of is it being used during the Harvest Festival .
Thus, I understood the reason it was called a Trash Magic .
However .
[It’s plenty useful for Ryouta-san . ] (Celeste)
[Yeap . You did well Leia . ] (Ryouta)
[… . All I did was eat the magic fruit . ] (Leia)
[Nonetheless, Leia you’re amazing . ] (Ryouta)
[… . . Yes . ] (Leia)
Leia nodded with a complicated face, but it was a slightly unnatural look .
A magic that hatches dropped items into rogue monster, Revive .
As Celeste mentioned, it is a tremendous magic that benefits me .
