「Listen, a Monster has appeared near this village and we’re going to hunt all of them. What is your hunting experience?
「「None!」」
「I see. Then, I would teach you how to do it, watch closely」
One of the villages around the academy city. Emily and her group came with a request to defeat a herbivorous monster who was said to be attacking the fields.
A large deer-like creature with a head too big for the Zatsuryu guarding the village.
It was recommended by the receptionist as the twins’ first request, although it’s a fairly difficult quest for a low-level gold commission.
「Then, let’s go!」
The three entered the forest with the cheerful Emily on the lead. Their first quest had begun.

「Please replenish your magic here」
「Yes. I’ll do my best!」
A guild member guided us to a room where a large number of crates were placed. Inside those were “Magic Tools” It’s a tool powered by magic.
There are magic tools in this world. Their materials used plants, monsters with attribute magic, and sometimes, the body of a Shinryu.
The magic tools that use Shinryu raw materials seem to be high-performance and much more valuable that you can’t compare to others. As expected, I haven’t seen a magic tool as useful as that yet.
By the way, even magic tools made of ordinary monster materials are quite expensive, so they’re not widespread in ordinary households. They’re installed in the school dorm or wealthy mansions.
However, the ones that get collected the most are fire, ice, and lightning attributes. The same attributes as Lina and the girls.
Magic tools that have run out of magic can be recharged by flowing attribute magic, fire magic tools are used to make fire, and ice magic tools are used to make ice or cool things I heard that lightning attributes are mainly used for weapons.
Two things to keep in mind here are the same attribute magic power as the material, and charging after the previous magic power comes off.
If you don’t keep caution, the magic will repel each other and you can’t recharge properly.
However, rare attributes like ice have the same attribute magic, and sometimes they add them before they run out. And so the Zatsuryu’s are called for that.
Zatsuryu’s magic doesn’t cause magic to repel, so it can be used to charge magic tools of any materials and blend with the magic of others. I was shocked to hear that.
The magic tools installed in the women’s dorm were routinely charged by the Zatsuryu servants and they taught me a lot.
Although, a Zatsuryu has a limited amount of magic that they can charge per person. If that’s the case, you need to gather a lot of people to charge it, and if it’s the same attribute, it’s easier to ask a Kiryu to do it.
And so, our job today is to have these magic tools gathered from all over the city and replenish them with magic.
「Surprisingly, it’s a lot of free time」
「Right. I think it’s hard to do it alone though」
「I can’t even read a book or anything because one hand is occupied.」
「I should’ve asked for a musician to come」
The guild brought the magic tools one by one, then I touched the tools while sitting on the chair to replenish them with my magic. Honestly, I’m pretty bored of it that I lost interest.
「I’ll teach you some songs then we can practice. What should we sing?」
「Oh, I have this one. I want some fun songs. The ones that get you excited hearing it」
「No! Duets! Teach me duets!」
「Me too, I want duets! I want a beautiful song, a moist and sad one」
「No, I want a song that fires up the two of us. Something that gets you fired up!」
「Hmmm. Then, we’ll sing them in order, pick what you want. Let’s practice them in order」
I hum the songs that seem to be everyone’s favorite in response to their wishes. I tried to mix in songs I heard from anime or drama shows but J-POP songs and folk songs my parents liked were also popular, then there was also some western music I borrowed from friends.
The lyrics were hazy and I mispronounced them, besides, the girls singing in English and Japanese don’t understand them, but still, I think they get what kind of song that is.
(That’s nostalgic)
I feel like I’ve returned to Japan for a while as I hear the melody I hum.
My heart goes back to the time when I listened to those songs. Dad, Mom, Bro. My school friends, club mates. I wonder what happened to them after I died.
I wonder if those people were saddened by my sudden car accident death.
I hope they were. I hope they cried. I hope they remember me as they say their goodbyes.
Then, I hope that they get over their sadness and return to their daily lives.
I’m having a good time in this world, dreaming of tomorrow.
So don’t worry. I want you all to enjoy your life.
