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 .
