Chapter 6: The Hungry Magister

"Anyway, I'll just go, it's boring to be in your house all day anyway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Is it okay to date me as a magister?"

"You seem to have misunderstood, Zhao Jie." After eating the sandwich, she said to me solemnly as she sipped her coffee. "The Magus only advocates reclaiming his home from the Majin as soon as possible without interfering in human life, and he does not hate humans in essence.

In short, making contact with you part of the mission does not violate the principles of the Magister.

But one thing must be made clear to you, even if you please me, your verdict will not change.

After all, I'm just the executor, and it's someone else who gives the order. ”

"Ah, I know."

Of course, I knew that even if I really had a high opinion of Olivia like in the comics, it wouldn't change the fact that I only had 15 days left in my life.

But even so, if you don't do anything, there is no hope at all.

Dressed in civilian clothes, Olivia and I went out the door.

Olivia, on the other hand, unexpectedly changed into the suit she wore when they first met.

I really can't wear my mother's sweater to go out in this winter, and even though I'm indoors, I always feel wronged by wearing an old sweater from decades ago.

Of course, as a mage who is ignorant of the world, Olivia is completely unaware of her own attire.

"It's a date, where are we going, Zhao Jie?"

"Anyway, let's change your clothes first."

Without much preparation, I left the apartment with Olivia.

At this time, I didn't know what it meant to go out with a magister.

As soon as I came downstairs, before I could leave the compound of the apartment, a strange monster appeared in front of me.

It has two eyes that are detached from its head and looks like a humanoid lobster.

"That's—"

"This is a crab man, a kind of servant, and I'm really lucky today."

It turned out to be a crab.

"But what does it mean to be lucky, obviously I just ran into an enemy when I went out."

"It seems that you still don't quite understand, but it doesn't matter, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll explain it to you."

Olivia stood triumphantly in front of me and met the crab man.

"Usually in this case, our Magister will open up an enchantment with a blinding function so that passers-by cannot perceive our battle."

As if to show me, Olivia raised her hand and opened some kind of enchantment.

In my opinion, nothing has changed.

"Then, use my gravity magic!"

As she spoke, a black orb appeared on Olivia's hand.

"Then, rush forward and try to kill the servant with the smallest wound!"

With a very skillful, crisp movement, the crab man fell down in front of me.

The Servant who ran away after us two weeks ago doesn't seem to be an enemy when the magician has enough magic.

However, Olivia's next actions really surprised me.

"Finally, shave off the shell and preserve the flesh inside."

The black magic in Olivia's hand was like a knife, unraveling the crab man's thin clothes on the outside, revealing the inside of the crab's body.

She expertly slice open the crab man's belly, revealing the flesh inside.

"Zhao Jie, I need some plastic bags now, can you help me get some?"

"Until then—"

I walked up behind Olivia with a feeling that even I couldn't describe.

"You can't get the extra meat in the refrigerator recently."

"Hey, it's okay to compliment me."

"Be serious with me! Doing this kind of thing without saying a word, are you really- I've been eating something these days without knowing it!? ”

This story tells me a truth.

Don't eat meat from unknown sources for fear of waste.

If it's a crab, it's okay to cut it, but not all servants are crabs.

Thinking of this, I remembered the time when I first met Olivia and Lucy, the Praying Mantis's servants.

Could it be-

"Don't worry, I'm very experienced in this area, and I won't use the flesh of a poisonous servant.

However, the meat of the servants has its own flavor, especially some edible insects, which obviously look a little infiltrating, but the hamburger meat is delicious and rich in protein. ”

It's probably the cleanest time I've ever vomited breakfast in my life.

……

After vomiting, I felt like my body was collapsed, but Olivia didn't hurry to collect the crab man's meat and fill my refrigerator with it again.

It should be said that because it is not insect meat, is it okay to be thankful?

is worthy of being a magister, and the dating process went off the line as soon as it came up.

But even so, I can't stop betting on my entire life's date this time.

"Unlike elementalists, mages do not integrate into humans to survive, and the place where they live is also a small space opened up on the basis of this world using space magic."

On the way to the city center with Olivia, she told me about the life of the Magister.

"Still, for the Magister, opening up space is a small matter, but how to live is a problem.

Because our Magisters are different from elementalists, they are people who are not recognized by human society, so we have no money, and we will not use it to trade with humans in this world.

Using magic can solve the problem of water and shelter, but the food is different. ”

"Can't you solve the problem of food with magic?"

"Our magic can't conjure food either, and people in this country seem to take food very seriously.

Because of the Magister's code of conduct, we can't take the food produced by humans without permission, nor can we occupy the cultivated land of humans without permission, and at the same time, for the sake of the Magister's regrouping, we can't go back to the mountains and old forests to be savages. ”

"And what about using space magic to create a farmland?"

"Space magic needs magic to maintain, and as the space increases, the amount of magic needed increases exponentially, if we can open up as much space as possible, we won't fall into this world."

Well said and makes sense.

"In short, just when we Magus were worried about the food of this world, we found a steady stream of 'servants' sent by Majin from another world.

And we found that although the Servant's goal was to annihilate us, once they were defeated, their meat was delicious and quite a good ingredient. ”

"So you Magus make a living by hunting and killing Servants?"

Since the Magister has been eating servants for a living since he came to this world for decades, even if I eat it, nothing will happen to me.

However, it always feels quite awkward to watch that strange human-looking being killed by a magister and collecting ingredients.
