The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Translator: Nefarian

The attention of everyone in the shop turned to the girl in the Priestess outfit as their eyes slowly opened wider. The face of the girl who saw the disastrous scene inside of the restaurant changed from red to blue.

Is she perhaps Sill, the elder sister that boy was talking about?

Her face was turning paler by the second and sweat was rolling down her cheeks, in the next moment, she turned herself towards the shop owner and greatly lowered her head in apology.

Im so very sorryy!

The store owner that suddenly saw her vigorously bow her head became speechless.

Those children seemed to have caused trouble again.. so

Even whilst she was apologizing she was looking at the store owner with upturned eyes. Although the shop owner was momentarily perplexed at the scene, after a while he grinned at her as if her realized something.

.Shirushu-san, you need to properly look after those troublesome brats~ 1

Im sorry! Im so sorry!

Perhaps he was pleased with her obsequious nature of apologizing repeatedly, but the store owner lifts the corners of his mouth even further and takes another step towards her.

If things would be settled by just apologizing we wouldnt even need Dispatch Magicians, dont you think so.?

Uu.. Then what do I need to do..?

What I want is for Shirushu-san to show more sincerity. You know what good faith is, right?

S-Sincerity?

Shirushu was perplexed and the man reached out his burly hands and gripped on to her shoulders. Shirushu shows a bitter smile and her face was cramping up.

You should leave it at that

Along with the sound of my voice, I floated a fireball right in front of the storekeepers face.

I had chanted out Red Ball.

MMagician.!

The children did not do anything bad. There is no need for you to apologies to the shop owner

Shirushu had a puzzled face as she alternated her gaze between the embarrassed shop owner and me. Walking briskly towards the shop keeper, I paid the bill for the meal.

Umm?

We were the ones who invited and treated them to the meal. But they seemed to be terribly afraid. Of this person called elder sister Sill

*Kuku* I smiled at Shirushu and she seemed to finally understand the circumstances, her face was dyed in the color of shame.

Im sorry! Im so sorry!

This time she was repeatedly bowing towards me. When a woman dressed this properly was behaving so modestly, although not to the extent of that shop owner from before, but it really makes me want to tease her a little bit.2

When I was thinking about such things, I felt a prickling glance from the three girls behind me. Suppressing my sadistic mind, I waved my hands to let Shirushu know not to worry about it.

Those children were hanging around down town and seemed to be really hungry so I treated them. I was just being a busy body. So its nothing you need to worry about

I-Is that really so? In that case thank you very much

Once again Shirushu bowed her head towards me. I just told her not to worry about it Lydia approaches Shirushu and taps her shoulder to comfort her.

There there, Zeph-chi has already said that it is alright, so you dont have to worry about it so much

That will not do! I need to show my gratitude somehow! If there is something that I can do, please tell me! .Although I dont have any money.

Hou. You said youd do anything?

You cant be like that, Lydia-sann.

Lydias eyes were catching on this dangerous glint and Claude quickly pulls Shirushu away from Lydia.

Nice follow Claude.

You want to thank us. Hmm~ then how about you show us around the city, what do you say? We still have plenty of time before the carriage to the Capital arrives so, until then we will be staying over here

This Port Town was the passing point for people that wanted to go to the Capital, so various kinds of people and interesting things were gathered here. Ive also come here in my past life and because I was alone at that particular time, my mode of transport was mainly using teleportation. There may be somethings here that only a local person living in the area would know about. Hearing Claudes suggestion, Shirushus face became a beaming smile.

If thats the case, it would be an easy request!

Saying that Shirushu pats her chest in confidence.

Perhaps she hit her chest too hard? but she started to cough a little afterwards. Whats this? Because that young boy was so afraid of her I thought that she might be someone scary but, she seems to be quite the pleasant girl. Although her habit of apologizing so much might be her weakness.

Milly was also giggling.

Hey Zeph-chi, for now lets get out of here?

Thats true. Everyones glance is a little uncomfortable

Both of the girls seem to be worried about the eyes of the people in the restaurant. There werent really many customers in this shop so I didnt think it was something they needed to worry about. But well, there is no reason for us to stay here anyways.

Wait a moment

When we were going to go outside, the store owner called out to stop us. When I turned around, he thrust a sheet of paper towards me.

Theres not enough money

Apparently, it was a little insufficient. When I put out the remaining owed, Shirushu gave me another look of apology.

After getting out of the shop, Milly who had not yet been satisfied by the previous meal suggested that we continue to eat at a nearby snacking shop. After finishing our food orders, Shirushu started to do her self-introduction with a slight bow.

Im sorry that Im late in introducing myself. My name is, Shirushu Onslaught

After she introduced herself, we also replied in kind.

My name is Zeph

My name is Milly Reyad! Pleased to meet you, Shirushu

I am Claude

You can call me Lydia

Please treat me well, everyone

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Shirushu bows her head again. She gives her bow to Claude and Lydia. Then panics and continues to bow to Milly. Being polite is good and all but I think shes a little too formal.

I work as a sister of the church on the outskirts of this town. I am taking care of those children but.. they are really naughty

Showing a troubled face and an apologetic smile Shirushus face looked like a mothers face, it reminded me of that mother in the town of Nanami. I extended my hands towards the food that the employee brought to our table; Shirushu on the other hand was only grabbing the cup in front of her and drinking water.

By the way Shirushu, is it alright even if you dont chase after those children?

No, more importantly, I need to show you guys my gratitude After all those children were troubling you

Nn~ But its already getting dark *chew, mumble*.. Arent we just going around town? If thats the case I think it would be fine if we did it tomorrow?

Lydia-san, thats bad manners. Mou..

Lydia was holding all the food in her mouth while talking so Claude warns her about it.

Looking at this scene Shirushu chuckles.

Is everyone here perhaps an adventurer?

Yeah, we came from the eastern continent. We just arrived here today

Then do you have any places to stay at. Ah, if youd like perhaps you could stay over in our church!

Shirushu leans forwards and puts both of her hands against her chest with a joyous face.

Weve already booked at an inn so dont worry

Is that so..?

After Lydias reply, Shirushu was clearly depressed. Did she really feel that indebted just because we treated the children to a meal? Shes such an honest person.

Shirushu, You dont have to mind it so much you know?

No, that wont do..!

.. By the way, umm are you going to eat that?

Shirushu twitched at the sudden interruption by Milly. Now that you mention it, shes been doing nothing but sip on water.

No, I havent ordered any foods so please go ahead! Besides, Im not hungry at all!

Shirushu was flapping her arms whilst offering her portion to Milly, but I could see that her eyes were locked on to the bone chops I was holding.

You want some?

When I presented my bony chops to Shirushu, her white throat made a gulping noise. You were taking care of all these hungry children. You cant be letting yourself get hungry as well, right?

No! I havent paid any money for this, besides, I cannot allow myself to receive such a generous gift.. Muguu!?3

The moment Shirushu opened her mouth, I shoved the thick bony meat into her small mouth. The meaty juices streamed down her pink colored lips. Staring in wonder, Shirushu who hasnt seemed to have tasted meat in a long time had this melted expression on her face.

Doesnt it taste good?

When I asked in a teasing manner, Shirushu was nibbling and eating with an indescribable expression as she mumbled out the words. She had so much in her mouth that I couldnt really tell what she was saying but just from looking at her face, I already knew what she wanted to say.

After wholeheartedly sucking on the piece of meat that I gave her Shirushu immediately started to eat it up. Her mouth was opened. Eating it very intently until all that was left was a totally cleaned out bone.

Fuhaah

Shirushu was sighing as if she was spellbound and this inevitably pulled everyones attention. Was she really that hungry? All the meat in the bone totally disappeared into her mouth.

Showing you this unsightly face of mine, Im very sorry

In the end Shirushu herself managed to finish half of the things we ordered, and she once again started to repeatedly bow her head to us in apology.

Dont worry about it, its fine Im telling ya! Just make sure to make up for it tomorrow, okay?

Yes! Thats of course! I will do my utmost, so please allow me to become the best town guide!

When you talk about the church being on the outskirts of town, do you mean that thing, over there?

When I looked to where Lydia was pointing at, I could certainly see a isolated church on the outskirts of town.

Small shadows were moving in the garden. Although it was hard to see from this distance, those shadows were likely the children. Shirushu seemed to be relieved that the children had returned safely and she breathed out deeply.

Shirushu, I think that we should leave it at this for today. We will be counting on you tomorrow

Yes! . In that case, please excuse me

Yeah

Shirushu gave us a big and curt bow, and with an amazing amount of energy she ran towards the church. I was smiling wryly as I saw her off but she stumbled on a stone-paved road across the way and fell flat on her face.

Seeing that Milly burst into laughter.

Shes such an interesting person isnt she, Zeph?

Thats true, but having Shirushu as our town guide, I feel a little uneasy

I feel uneasy in a different meaning though

Ahahah! After coming this far, I think it would be much easier if you didnt worry so much, Clau-chan

Giving up Claude lets out a sigh, and Lydia goes behind her and hugs her breasts from behind.
