Chapter 141.2. Masatoshi Seeking A Master
-Masatoshi’s POV-
“Look, over there.”
“You mean that?”
Enraku is pointing with his chin. No people were enjoying the banquet, but rather a few individuals surrounding the old magician.
Though their numbers were not many, they were likely expecting some form of gain by acquainting themselves with him.
“Hey, who are those people around the old man?”
.
Standing around, wearing suits, they were preventing those who attempted to approach the old man.
“I apologize, but the old magician dislikes getting involved in troublesome matters. We are here to handle negotiations on his behalf.”
The individuals in sharp suits wore friendly smiles, but they did not move from their positions.
“They are from Takano County. When did they manage to establish contact…? If he’s putting so much effort into it, things are getting interesting.”
“Interesting?”
“Yeah, it means Yoshiyuki has gotten hold of some good money-related information. That won’t end as a simple business venture. Well, I, being his close friend, will join in a bit.”
With a smile resembling that of a fierce beast that has found its prey, my father walked confidently.
He then put his arm around the shoulder in a friendly manner and began to speak to Takano Yoshiyuki, who was conversing with Teijou Ouga. Instead of targeting the old magician, he targeted Yoshiyuki Takano, who was moving suspiciously.
“Sigh… Making money is tough.”
To protect my life as a wealthy person, Masatoshi sighed, realizing the difficulties ahead.
Being left alone, I looked around while sipping on my juice.
Shin was happily enjoying the meal with his fiancée and his twin brother, Yamiyo, the reincarnated one, who seemed focused on conquering all the desserts, eating with Miu and Tamamo, and having a great time.
Mashiro is holding Ninny by the arm, going from place to place to get food, and Sena is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps the kind-hearted Sena is depressed by Nagamasa’s punishment.
I thought about eating something when I saw the old magician wander away and head for the terrace.
“Here it comes! Hehe, it’s time for my event to begin.”
Masatoshi hurriedly followed suit. He ducked through the door leading to the terrace and followed the old man, who was standing there leisurely, perhaps taking a break.
Though he thought it would have made for a picturesque sight if it were a beautiful woman, Masatoshi decided to approach and speak.
“Um, excuse me. Thank you for helping me the other day.”
I recalled the scene where Shin was saved by the witch. I expressed my gratitude seriously, and the old man shrugged his shoulders.
“You’re that little boy from the other day. Don’t worry about it. It’s just a whim.”
“But we were saved, that’s for certain. It was an amazing magic!”
I bowed deeply. I lowered my face. But I was already making calculations, thinking I would become the strongest mob in this event.
“Well, all right. I will accept your thanks.”
“Thank you very much. And, if I may be impolite. Please take me as your disciple!”
“Rejected.”
“Huh?”
He immediately denied me, causing my mouth to twitch. Think a bit more, old man. I’m a god asking for a favor.
“Well, please listen to my reasons.”
“…Well, fine. So?”
“Actually… according to the information obtained by the Aguni Dukedom, there is a dangerous enemy in the place we went before! Her name is Gerer!”
I thought it would look suspicious if I told him I knew, so I said it was information from Aguni Dukedom.
“Oh… Go on.”
“Gerer is a madman who uses plant magic. I can’t leave that guy alone. I made up my mind after the battle the other day.”
I think the story is a bit too much, but I think to push it with vigor.
In the original story, Gerer, the director of the Laughing Botanical Garden, kidnapped over 100,000 people from various places and displayed them as a collection on Evil Tree of Life. She was a madman.
When reading that he had kidnapped over 100,000 people, Masatoshi thought the author had exaggerated. But the author believed the more victims there were, the more interesting it would be, so it wasn’t surprising.
She has Mistilteinn, becomes an Evil Arc, and uses the enormous amount of life force and magical power she has gathered from the people to engage in a fierce battle with Shin.
Shin won, but it was a mutual kill, and his magic was sealed with Mistilteinn, and the search for how to undo the seal became the first half of the next volume.
Mistilteinn is a terrifying artifact that seals magic. While Shin and the heroines survived, many girls who appeared to be heroines died in the story.
The mobs who couldn’t even use body enhancement were treated brutally and died. The world of Night of Magic is still harsh for mobs.
After defeating her, the freed souls of the people emerged and vanished into the sky, creating a fantastic scene, and that volume came to a close.
At that time, Shin obtained a rare Seed of the Tree of Life, which would lead to a difficult situation, but that’s for unrelated another story.
I might be able to defeat Gerer before she strikes. After years of training, I will power up and become the strongest magician nobody can defeat.
I’ll coolly enter battles and even come to your aid, Shin.
Everyone will be saved, and my future will be bright.
Please help me unleash my hidden potential and power up easily. If we can defeat Gerer around next week, there won’t be any victims among the mobs, so I hope for that route.
Since Mistilteinn is terrifying, I plan to go with my master to exterminate Gerer. My face turns bright red with excitement.
“Gerer?”
“Yes, sir! It’s Gerer from Nidhogg. Perhaps she will kidnap many people down the road and use them as nourishment for the evil tree of life! Oh, evil tree of life is, uh, Master?”
For some reason, Master is smiling and chuckling. Did he become senile?
“I see. You seem like an ordinary human. I understand that possibility exists, huh? Were you summoned as an intermediary? Or did you accidentally fall into a vacant hole? Let’s keep this a secret from that guy.”
“Um, ………?”
“Ah, that was quite an interesting story. Rest assured, we’ve already killed Gerer and destroyed the evil tree of life.”
“Huh?”
“So don’t worry about it. I refuse your apprenticeship. Your thanks are enough for what you have just told me. Then I’m going home.”
With that, with a wave of his finger, a magic circle appeared at his feet, and the old magician instantly vanished.
“Huh? Defeated? Um… What about my disciple event?”
A gust of wind blows on the terrace, leaving Masatoshi standing dumbfounded.
