【Aslant Continent】

【Kingdom of Fiore】

【Magnolia Town】

To the south of this bustling town where the Wizards are gathered, there is a two-story red-roofed house, and the branches and leaves of a huge Magic Blue Tree stretch out like a large umbrella to cover it, and it is shrouded in the shade of the [Demon Blue Tree] all year round.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door and smelling the slight smell of dust in the air, surrounded by a jumble of old shelves stacked with books, you will see a dark-haired and black-eyed teenager sitting behind a high counter. He rested his chin in his right hand, tapped the fingers of his left hand on the table, stared at the door boredly, and yawned from time to time.

"It's a tough time right now. Are the inhabitants of this town uninterested in knowledge and wisdom? "This is really out of the ordinary, it's incomprehensible." ”

His name is Fuko, and in the Kingdom of Fiore, it's a strange name. No one knows exactly where he came from, he suddenly appeared in the town, and he didn't know how he made a fortune beforehand. He bought the old house a month ago and became the owner of the bookstore. It's just that the business of the bookstore is unexpectedly cold, and he watched the numbers in his account book decrease little by little, and he was not too impatient, but naturally thought that if this business could not be done, he would find another way to survive.

In order to cater to the tastes of this town with a large number of Magus, most of the books he introduced into the book house were about magic. It's just that it backfired, and there were very few customers who came to his bookstore. Among the few customers, he was very impressed because he came three times in the month after opening. Now, here she is again.

This guest is a female sorcerer, dressed like a female knight. She was clad in silver armor and wore a long sword around her slender waist. Her long crimson hair was spread out, and her eyes were fierce, giving people a sense of seriousness and wild contradiction.

"Boss, I'm here to return the book." She placed a red-covered book on the table, pushed it in front of Fuko, and continued calmly, "Also, I want to borrow another one. ”

Trying to make more money for his bookstore, he suggested to the Female Sorceress, "I think if you really like this series of books so much, you might as well buy them, keep them at home, and take them out from time to time to take them out and read them." You can read a book if you rent it, but you don't have to buy the book after all, and you can read it carefully, isn't it? ”

Hearing these words, Elusa Shukaletto's little face turned red, and her beautiful but rigid eyes glanced at the corner of the study room, as if she was a little embarrassed, but she still insisted: "I'm sorry, boss, this time...... I'm still on loan, I don't have a lot of money on hand. She was telling the truth, she spent most of her money on the daily maintenance of weapons and armor.

"Well, actually, I'm just proposing, and the decision is yours of course." Knowing that he couldn't continue as he had said, or he would be forcing customers to buy books, and if this word got out, his bookstore business would be even worse, so he put away the books that Elusa had returned, took a new one, and said to her, "Well, this is what you want, just remember not to damage it." ”

Elusa took the book and looked down at it, she didn't seem to be listening, but as soon as Fuko finished speaking, she looked up, glanced at him, and lowered her head again.

She didn't seem very good at communicating with strangers, Fuko thought to herself.

"By the way, you're a [magician], aren't you?" Trying to satisfy his curiosity and connect with his "regular customer" on the other, Fujio asked, "Are you a lone wanderer or a crowd walker?" Tell me it shouldn't matter. ”

The [Magus] in the [Fiore Kingdom] can generally be roughly divided into two types, one is the [Crowdwalker] who gathers together to establish the [Magic Guild Organization], and the other is the maverick [Lone Wanderer].

Whatever the type, the source of their funding is to perform all kinds of tasks given by the delegate that ordinary people cannot do. These clients, from the most noble royal families of the [Fiore Kingdom] to the small people of Shengdou, as long as they have the money to pay the commission fee, they will become the objects of the [magicians' "rush".

"Of course it doesn't matter, I'm the sorcerer of [Fairy Tail]." Elusa replied succinctly, without the slightest hesitation, and it was clear that she was very proud that she belonged to this [Magic Guild].

"Oh-" Fuko's voice dragged out a little abruptly, "It's the famous [Second Largest Magic Guild in the Kingdom of Fiore], and it is also the most destructive [Guild] in the kingdom where the [Magicians] gather. I've heard rumors that wherever your Magus goes, everything will be destroyed, and friends and foes will be attacked, ...... It can't be true, right? ”

Elusa's cheeks flushed again, and it seemed that her skin seemed to be a thin layer, moist and snow-white, and she explained with some eagerness, "That's just a rumor that our [Magician] ......" She hesitated for a moment, as if she was also a little uneasy about her [Magician Companion], so she quickly changed her words, "They are usually very approachable, but when they fight the enemy, they will be a little more lively. ”

"Really?" Fu Ko said, "I think so, just look at Miss Elusa, you can see that the [Magic Guild] with such an outstanding [Magician] as Miss Elusa can be the rumored messy [Magic Guild]?" ”

Elusa nodded, she looked at the clock on the wall, frowned, and said, "Boss, I have some things to deal with, so I'll take this book with me, thank you." ”

"Ah, no thanks, go slowly."

Looking at the coins that Elusa had left on the table, Fuko didn't touch them. He had to admit that Elusa was the most interesting person he had ever met, and he didn't really want her to leave like that, because then he would have to have another boring afternoon.

Living in such a kingdom with a high degree of [magic], he also wants to be able to use so many kinds of [magic], it doesn't have to be strong enough to destroy the world, but he just wants to have a good time, he didn't understand [magic] at all before. However, it seems that it is too late to start learning [magic], and at his age, it is very difficult to learn [magic] from scratch, and no one will be willing to spend time cultivating him as an ordinary person.

All in all, Fuko is just a Citizen of the Magic Kingdom who doesn't know how to do magic.

Sure enough, as he expected, there were no interesting people all afternoon except Elusa. When night came, he yawned and closed the door, lit the oil lamp, took a bath, ate dinner, and lay down on his soft bed.

The rooms in this house are spacious and the furniture is basically complete, and Fu Kou spent a lot of money to buy these at the beginning, hoping to live a comfortable and happy life in the future. But now that his life was going downhill, he thought that if the bookstore could not be operated in the end, he would sell it and find another way to make a living.

The oil lamp was turned off, and the room was pitch black. Fu Ko rolled over in bed and couldn't sleep for a long time, he was so preoccupied that he felt that he couldn't make ends meet. He began to think about what he could sell, what he couldn't, and what he needed to think about in order to make the most profit after going bankrupt.

At this moment, a voice sounded next to his ear:

[The system will be fully activated after the system is automatically updated, please do not do any operation.] 】

Fuko sat up abruptly and jumped out of bed, unable to see anything in the room. He raised his voice and asked tentatively, "Who is it...... Here? ”

[Please do not take any action.] 】

The cold tone was repeated again, and Fuko listened to the word "system" and thought of many things in his hometown, which surprised him in particular, because he knew that he could not meet the things of his hometown here.

"Who the hell is it? Come out of here, this prank isn't fun at all. He said with some annoyance.

He lit the oil lamp, but there was no one in the house.
