The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Translator: Nefarian

After seeing Shirushu off and returning inside of the inn, we walked towards our bedrooms. When we went inside the room, there was four big beds and this was a great difference between the small cabin we had to sleep in just until yesterday. Well it was fine in its own way but..

.. Why am I also in the same room?

Eh? Is that a bad thing?

Obviously it isnt good!

Lydia pretended to be ignorant about this matter. I mean back when we were sailing in that ship and we were pressed for money, it was inevitable for us to stay in the same cramped room together, but if it was possible to obtain a decent room, obviously we needed to split the rooms.

Nn~ But isnt is way more convenient this way? I mean the thing with helping me with my magical power line. back at the ship? Its it more efficient this way jyan?

Mu, if you mention it like that I suppose she has a point. It is certainly more efficient this way.?

I think its fine. After all I dont think Zeph is the kind of person to do anything strange. Right, Claude?

I.I dont particularly. mind

Averting her gaze, Claude glances towards me with a red face. The moment she met my eyes, she quickly lowers her gaze. Well if nobody else minds it then I suppose I dont really mind either.

Well, I suppose I dont really have any reason to oppose this either

After saying this I sat down on the bed. We arent going to be staying here for a long time anyways, so at least whilst we are in Izu it should be fine. I always go out every night to hunt, so it would be bad of me if I woke them up during this time. Whilst thinking about this, Lydia stood up and did a big stretch for her body.

Now then! Shall we take a bath!

Thats true, it wasnt possible to take a bath in the ship so my body is really sticky

You cant peep at us! Zeph!

As if Id peek, how foolish

Lydia leads the way and I saw the three girls off as they hurriedly left the room, finally having time to take a breather I was resting on the bed when suddenly it dawned on me. Now that I think about it, that girl Ain hasnt come out in a while.

Because I dont have any more high-quality mediums, is that why she cant come out? In the fight I had with the Kraken, I used up all of it so I tried chanting out the summon servant spell, but nothing happened.

I became a little worried so I opened up Millys bag and took out a high-quality medium before trying to chant the summon servant spell one more time. Along with a flash of light, Ain appears. In the brief time that I was feeling relieved, Ain was collapsed on top of me with her eyes still closed. I raised her body in front of me to take a good look at her face, but her usually cheerful appearance could not be seen.

Oi Ain? Hey! Are you alright!?

When I shook her shoulder, her small mouth moved and twitched in response.

Uu. Gramps.. Food..

The first thing she said from her small mouth was an urgent request for food. Although Im glad that she wasnt sick, Ive really done a bad thing to her. From now on I need to be more mindful of this matter.

I instantly paid a visit to the town at night, purchasing about 100 high-quality mediums from a general store, I quickly went to the back of the alley to chant the summon servant spell again. I grabbed a handful of them to give towards Ain and she immediately munched on them.

Oi, dont eat so fast, youll choke on them

Wafuahfueru Wafuahfueru!1

I didnt really know what she was saying but, she seemed to be energetic so I felt relieved.

Im sorry, its not like I forgot about you but

Wafure fuhihafuehi! Ehhai yuruha inrafurae!2

Saying this, she pointed her finger on the tip of my nose. Im telling you, I have no idea what you are saying.

Just talk about it later, for now just stay silent and eat up

When I presented her with more, it goes without saying that she quickly took the high-quality mediums from my fingers and gobbled them up.

Fuhaah~ My stomachs so full

After a while she seemed to be really full. She patted her own belly and she breathed out a content sigh.

My bad, Ain. Ill make sure this kind of thing doesnt happen again from now on

Thats right! Im still in my growth period so I wont permit it if you try to skip my meals!

I know, I know. Ill make sure to feed you properly

After patting Ains head, her rough breathing finally settled down.

But well, its also not good to overeat so perhaps I might need to restrict your diet a little

Huh?

Ains face which was really determined a little while ago suddenly turned pale.

If you just eat like this without any restrictions, it will be really dangerous for my wallet. Not just that, Ain, I also know that you sometimes come out when I dont call you and you sneakily eat the mediums

T-thats because my stomach gets emptyy.

In any case, Im going to give you 10 pieces every day. Although, I will also feed you that much whenever you turn into your Divine Sword Form: Ainbell

No wayy~ Gramps come on.

Turning her big wet eyes towards me, she gave me a puppy-eyed look. Holding on to my shoulders, she leaned against me coquettishly. Where did she learn such a trick, I wonder? But still,

A no is a no

Auuu~

After saying this, Ain looked depressed and she disappeared along with a flash of light. When I returned to the inn, Milly and the other girls had finished their bath. The three of them had already changed into their pajamas and they were combing their wet hair. In the middle of them, a red ball that Milly produced was floating in the air. They were probably trying to dry their hair with that.

Welcome back, Zeph-kun

Where did you head off to~

I had a little something to take care of

Sitting on my own bed, I looked at the three girls. Perhaps their body was flushed after taking a hot bath but, all their faces were red. Maybe they were still hot? But their clothes were quite exposed and their hair was sticking to their cheeks. They had a really long bath it seems. However, when these three girls are lined up like this.

Youre still like a child arent you, Milly?

Whaa!?

Raising a hysteric scream, Milly covered her small breasts with her small hands. That and the red ball floating in the air started to shake violently. Oi, thats really dangerous you know? I immediately casted a blue ball to offset it.

Thats precisely what I mean by childish

Muu~! Zeph you bakaa!

Puffing up her cheeks, Milly glares at me, seeing the situation both Claude and Lydia laughs.

Zeph-kun is such a tease isnt he?

Because hes like that Milly-chan cant be honest with herself~

Saying this, Lydia holds both of Millys shoulders and pushed her down on to the bed.

Wait.. Lydia!?

Please stay still, Milly-san

Milly was flapping her feet around, and Claude started to firmly hold her down, Lydia began taking her clothes off. In the twinkling of an eye, her outer garments were all taken off, and Millys small back was revealed. Milly was glaring at the two girls reproachfully, but she now resigned and buried her face into her pillow.

There we go, all yours Zeph-chi

Even if you say that.. What do you want me to do?

Come on Milly-san, you need to ask him properly

I couldnt follow where this was going and both Claude and Lydia seemed to be having a lot of fun. Milly continues to be silent and doesnt move.

The truth is, we spoke with Milly a little while ago, and the reason she was so sulky this morning is..

Wahh! S-Stop! Claude! Ill say it myself so!

Shouting in a loud voice Milly tells Claude to not reveal anymore, and she gave a glance in my direction. It seems that she was greatly embarrassed, so her face was dyed red. Millys mouth moved slightly and although she was mumbling something out, I couldnt really hear her.

What was that? I cant hear you Milly

your.hand

Can you please speak in a louder voice?

To be honest with, I already understood the gist of what she was trying to say, but I deliberately asked her. Claude looks at me with a face that said, dont be such a teasee. Normally Milly was so cheeky and conceited, seeing her like this was rather sweet. Her shoulders were slightly trembling and Milly was tightly grasping on to the pillow.

II want you to do the same thing.. that you did with the other two!

While her face was still buried in the pillow, she spoke in such a big voice that the next room probably heard her. Both Claude and Lydia showed a smile of relief.

Although I dont really mind it Since Milly already has quite the developed magical power line, it probably wont be that effective you know?

Thats fine!

Although she spoke in a smaller voice than previously, I could feel a strong resolution. Good grief, if she asked me in this manner every time, I would do it as much as she likes.

I understand. Im going to start caressing your back gently, okay?

. Okay

Looking downwards, Milly has a slight smile on her face. Sitting across from her, I placed my hand in the center of her small back. When I paid close attention, I found that Millys magical power line was indeed thick and developed throughout her whole body.

It really seems like this is just going to be me gently caressing her back Well, considering Milly has showed her courage and went this far to ask me, it wouldnt be nice if I just treated her with disdain. When I twined my magical energy with Millys magical power line, I could tell that bit by bit, Millys body was starting to tremble.

Was she feeling a little cold perhaps?

When I moved her magical line with my hand a little, Millys head sank further into her pillow. And,

.Puh! Ahahahaha! TThats really ticklishh! S-stop I cant anymore! Hyafufuh!

She suddenly started to burst into laughter.

I was staring blankly as she looked behind her back towards me and twisted her body. She escapes towards her futon.

Hii.hiiisorry.. Zeph. but Im at my limits..

You..

Rolling around laughing Milly was teary-eyed. Watching her like this, I let out a sigh with an amazed look on my face.
