Chapter 18: The Magical Girl Catherine Plan

Knock knock knock

"Well, I'm not doing anything weird, come in." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the attic door was opened, Catherine climbed up with a flushed face with an excited expression.

"Mr. Esthein! Well.. It looks like a stone called a magic crystal, right? It sold for 400 gold coins!".

It could be seen that Catherine was probably overjoyed, and kept jolting with the little sack.

Just listening to the "ding" sound made by the collision of these gold coins, it seemed to make her feel a little fluttering.

"That.. I've drawn ten gold coins to pay for Serena's tuition. For the rest, I bought the best full-body armor in the blacksmith's shop at your request, and spent two hundred gold coins, all of which are actually only one hundred and ninety gold coins here."

Catherine said with a little weakness, probably because she was afraid that the armor she bought was too expensive and would cause me to be dissatisfied.

Of course, this is purely because she is overthinking. As for why I should buy armor, because I'm a skeleton!

Although daytime activity is like staying up late for the undead, they are not particularly afraid of daylight.

But even so, you can't just run around the streets in broad daylight. This is the hinterland of human forces, whether it will scare the children or not, it is estimated that before they ran out of this street, they were purified by the paladin holding the Righteous War Hammer......

But putting on full-body armor is different, and many wealthy adventurers like to do it.

After all, it's safe, especially to crusade against Warcraft or something, not all warriors will be vindictive. If you accidentally encounter a sneak attack by a lurking demonic beast, at least you won't be killed in an instant by a critical attack, safe and comfortable.

With just this full-body armor, I was transformed from an evil undead to a veteran adventurer in an instant.

Of course, these are secondary, and through what I was thinking about in the attic just now, I came up with a way to use the teleportation array without hiding the undead scourge.

Looking at Catherine, who was wearing a suspender skirt and a strong rustic atmosphere in front of me, I said thoughtfully:

"Soju, come and learn magic from me!".

“… Eh?......".

"Eh~~~~?!I'm sorry, Mr. Essioin, what are you talking about?

"It's magic, girl! It's the kind of special class that will send fireballs flying around you with a few spells. Magicians are invincible, magicians are the best in the world! Think about it, if you become a magician, right, endless gold coins are waiting for you! And there are ......".

Catherine stared at me blankly, as if she remained that way no matter what I said.

This makes me feel as if I am a pyramid scheme, not only to get rid of all the disadvantages of magicians, but also to constantly introduce the benefits of becoming a magician, and the goal is, of course, to achieve my evil goals by abducting underage girls.

Of course, I'm a piece of ice in the jade pot, haven't you always worshiped magicians?

Although I can't even release a few mid-level spells, I'm a demon king candidate anyway, and I can write forbidden spells, okay?!

"No.. No, no, no.. No, no, no, Mr. Esthein, I.. I can't learn it."

Catherine shook her head desperately, shaking her arms from side to side, as if making her a magician was like killing her.

I said, what are you doing, Catherine?

After all, don't you worship the magician to death? You have to come out and lecture me even if I say two bad things about the magician. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, how can you drop the chain at a critical moment?

I've pulled down my face and begged you to be a magician, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

Ask others to learn magic! What a beautiful way to become a magician!

It's worth a lot of money, and you have a good chance of becoming a nobleman, so it's no better than you guarding a grocery store in a small town like this. No, no, no, it should even be said that professions other than being a magician are evil!

How can this sound so familiar? This is what the Book of the Dead said to me centuries ago......

"Mr. Ession.. It's not your problem, it's me.. It's that I'm too stupid to have the talent to learn magic."

Seeing that I looked disappointed, Catherine quickly explained, as if comforting the lonely old man.

Magical talent? Does this thing need to be talented?

Although I don't know what the values of the other world are... But there's such a thing as magic. Isn't it just a matter of memorizing a spell and a spell, and then after writing it silently in your heart, you can just ask the elemental elves for help as if you were a grandson?

Oh, yes, it seems to have a talent to ask for it.

Ah Shu seems to have said that if you want to use magic, you must at least be able to communicate with the elemental elves. As a standard inferior skeleton, if it weren't for the elemental essences left by my previous boss (presumably those crystal balls that attacked me), it seems that I would not have been able to learn them.

Yes... It's so hard to do, I didn't even think of it......

Looking at Catherine who was blaming herself and bowing her head, I suddenly reacted, isn't that right? Why does your sister have a talent for learning magic, aren't you your own child? Catherine, you haven't even tested it.

Besides, what am I panicking about?!I'm not human! I'm evil... Phew, noble wise undead!

Whether you have the talent to sense the elements or not, I can help you cheat!

"You've sold your soul to me, that's natural. If you want to, you can become a noble magician!"

The necessary quotes of the traverser don't seem to fit my style quite well, and sure enough, the shame of the lines that are too pretended to be too high is also quite high.

This kind of thing that you don't need to look at to know is what a powerful character says, and it's okay to say that it's enjoyable once or twice, it's really weird to keep saying that. If the Book of the Dead had seen me think so, it would have said that I couldn't hold up the wall in the mud, what a tsundere guy.

"Really... Really?!Mr. Esthein!I... I want to be a magician!".

Catherine replied excitedly, almost jumping for her feet.

No, it's already jumping, and the floor of the attic "collapses", and if Serena had bumped into it, I'd probably think we'd be doing something inappropriate for children.

"Very good, shochu, this is the attitude, you will immediately appreciate the beauty of magic!".

Looking at Catherine, who was squinting with a flushed face and was so happy that she seemed to be about to enter heaven......

Feed.. Hey, don't you really be happy to death! After all, why does this unscientific way of death exist?!

As for why I want to teach Catherine to be a good magical girl, it would be impossible to say that without my little purpose.

Considering that this is in the hinterland of the human race, it is probably easier to pick up corpses to accumulate the total amount of my mana than near the fortress of the undead, but other problems that do not exist in the demon world also come with it.

The first is the way to achieve at least the same level of mana as the Grand Magus.

For the undead clan, it is probably impossible that there are not a few undead creatures of this level of the legion to accumulate to replenish the spirit sea.

And the human forces are not fools, especially characters like the Holy See who are sensitive to the undead. With such a huge number, it is impossible to hide.

Then you might as well think differently, if you want to use a transcontinental teleportation array, it's not just magicians.

Those who can become the top of the Wizards Association are not only high-level magicians. In fact, there is another profession that I am good at, and that is a scholar with a rich knowledge reserve, which is indispensable for the development of the times!

And how can I get the Wizards Guild to notice my existence without revealing my identity too much?

It's very simple, being able to teach a magical girl of the level of a mainland genius doesn't it prove that her mentor is even more capable?!

My goal is to get Catherine to stand up to the flowers, applause, and the eyes of everyone, and then follow her into the Wizards' Guild!

I'm going to name it, Genius of the Continent!
