Chapter Twenty-Three, Under the (Pseudo)Genius Magician

“…… I say, you are adventurers. ”

"Mmmm, my name is Nina~~"

Although Xinghe advocates ignoring the other party, Nina responds amicably.

“…… You're in luck. ”

"Nina ignore her, let's go."

Obviously, Xinghe didn't want to waste too much time on this strange girl.

“…… I'm a genius magician. ”

When she heard the word magician, Nina's eyes sparkled.

"It's a magician! And he's a genius! ”

"Hey ......"

Xinghe looked at Nina's expression as if to say: You really believe it!

“…… So, I can walk with you. ”

(Looks like he's going to be entangled by the weird guy.) )

……

"They're too good~~ They actually treat Rena as a small medicine bottle" Along the way, Nina's chatterbox also learned something about her from Rena.

"Ah, I almost forgot, you can just call me Nina~~"

"Hmmm......"

Xinghe only suddenly felt that Nina had become more and more stupid since he met me.

“…… Well, I know that too. Those guys in the car were rude to me as a genius. ”

And this confident girl named Rena, although she had taken the carriage from the village to Kama City, had an unpleasant encounter with the previous adventurers on the way, so after discovering the galaxy and them, she chose to get out of the carriage.

Xinghe, who was listening to the side, couldn't help but complain: "Are you a genius? I think you're just a magician who can use white magic and black magic a little. ”

It's also because Rena can use the skills of white magic, but her physical ability is similar to that of a child, so those adventurers just now gave her the nickname of the little medicine bottle to make fun of her.

Note: The so-called small pill bottle refers to the discriminatory term of the avant-garde class reply to the adventurer, and the defender class supplement adventurer is compared to a substitute for physical supplements.

“…… Are you the wielder with the MONOCULUS? ”

Xinghe's body shook: "What eyes?" Why did you say this all of a sudden? ”

Although Xinghe was a little shaken in his heart, he did not respond.

“…… I told you that I was a magician who could use white magic, but I didn't mention that I could use black magic. ”

"It's me who used the 'Analysis' skill, and since you claim to be a genius magician, even if I use the skill, I can guess that you can use dark magic."

"Oh, yes, yes~ How could the galaxy have an magic eye~"

Nina echoed nervously on the sidelines, and the obvious way of shaking was like saying to Rena, yes, Xinghe is holding the magic eye.

However, Xinghe is now more suspicious of Rena than shaken in his heart.

(But then again, why did she know I had an Eye?) )

“…… I haven't felt the phenomenon of magic fluctuations from you. ”

When you activate a magic or Action Skill, your mana fluctuates.

It seemed that he couldn't hide it, and Xinghe's eyes gradually became sharper.

"If I were the wielder with the Magic Eye......"

Xinghe's aura had changed, and the brewing fireball technique could be released in the next moment: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

“…… Not by much, because we are travel companions. ”

"What?" Xinghe looked at Rena in confusion.

But after a while, he probably could also understand that the other party actually didn't have any malicious intent.

"I don't agree with you, and I'm the only companion I'm Nina."

“…… So what do I have to do so that I can be a companion? ”

"Galaxy...... Isn't Rena okay? ”

Nina approached the galaxy with tears in her eyes.

"I don't need to."

"Woo...... Galaxy~"

Nina's teary eyes were even more moist, and then she suddenly approached and hugged Xinghe.

……

"Okay, okay, I know, hurry up, let go of my ......"

“…… Thank. ”

Nina hugged Rena and was even happier than she was.

"That's wonderful, little Rena."

"But when we get to Kama, the trip will end here."

Because to be honest, Xinghe doesn't trust anyone other than Nina in his heart.

So Rena joined the walking team of the galaxy.

……

It wasn't until two nights later that they finally encountered the attack of the monster.

Although the attack of the night wolf was sudden, fortunately, Xinghe had already predicted this attack with the help of the enemy, so with his command and cooperation, he repelled them in a hurry.

Because the strength of the night wolves themselves is not too threatening, the only tricky thing is actually their social nature, which will hunt in groups, so they have a lot to deal with.

Although the wolves were almost defeated by the galaxy's enlarged flame ball and Nina's double-bladed stream, Rena also did her best to assist, standing in the distance and using the bonus magic of the water system and the wind system to support the two.

It's just that, as Xinghe sees on her state chart, Rena herself is not good at moving.

Even if the release of bonus magic from a long distance will put Xinghe in an advantageous position, but this is under the premise that she is absolutely safe, once the slightest approach of the night wolf will affect her movements, so that the effect she can play will suddenly deteriorate, and even look like she is about to finish.

After the simple battle, Rena was already running out of breath.

“…… Whew, whew...... Does Galaxy have the skill of no chanting? ”

"Well, no, little Rena~~ Xinghe doesn't have the skill of singing~~ The reason why there is no chanting is because of that ......"

"Nina! Don't expose our information to outsiders. Xinghe glanced at Nina, then turned to look at Rena: "And you too, don't pretend to call me by name." ”

For this battle, Galaxy was never satisfied.

"No wonder they call you a little pill bottle, you're tired from fighting like this alone.

And this time, it's also to match your pace, so the battle will end so slowly. ”

Nina, who was preached by the galaxy, was a little depressed on a plate.

However, Xinghe believes that for an outsider like Rena who has just met, he should not easily tell her his own information.

Not only because of distrust of Rena, but also because of the habit of vigilance that Xinghe has developed.

Because he always knew that the mere knowledge of this skill would put them at a disadvantage.

And once Xinghe's skills are known, there will definitely be people who will approach him with this as a goal.

So for the sake of overall consideration, Xinghe thought more about how he should get rid of Rena.
