The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

People passing by all glanced at us and bowed as Lydia pulled my hand as we walked across the city.

If someone called out to us, we would reply. After all, it was a gathering of celebrities.

Lydia abruptly came to a halt. We had found ourselves in front of a big church.

Hey ya, I came to get Shiru-chi. Lydia said.

Of course! Ill go call her!

After a while Shirushu came around from the back of the church, accompanied by a lot of kids.

With the money he earned during our expedition, Shirushu had been able to construct a church here.

Shed also moved the children from her previous church here, and she was also taking in orphans from the capital.

She walked towards us, surrounded by numerous kids.

Shiru-nee, where are you going?

Its not fair Shiru-nee, we want to go as well!

Come on now everyone, you shouldnt be selfish.

A voice came from behind the children. It was Ryu, the child who had been in charge of the orphans back at the church in Port Town Izu.

As Ryu looked menacingly at the children all of them grew quiet.

Hes doing a great job as always I see.

Zeph-nii, its been a while.

I see youve gotten used to being the big brother.

Please dont tease me That aside, shouldnt you hurry up?

Youre right, its almost time.

Ryus right! Lets go already!

After exchanging greetings, we left and Shirushu followed after us.

As we passed through the main street we eventually arrived at our Guild House, which had gotten way bigger compared to before.

Swords clashing with one another could be heard from the now-larger garden.

HYA!

A loud shout echoed out and a wooden sword fell to the ground.

Claude pointed her own wooden sword at a young girl who stumbled over the blade and fell to the ground.

Urgh!

This is as far as you go. Thank you for your time.

Claude was currently in charge of conducting an entry exam for our guild.

After all of the members of the Hunters of the Blue Sky became famous, more and more people wished to join the guild.

However, we couldnt let in just anyone.

Which led to Claude stepping up and volunteering to test the new recruits.

She apparently wanted to take on the role of bearing the resentment that would inevitably follow.

Claude spoke coldly to the girl still lying on the ground.

Unfortunately, the way you are now you are still lacking.

I-Im not done yet!

Lets just stop here Furthermore. Claude said, shaking her head.

She then put out her hand towards the girl.

I dont want to hurt you anymore. she said with a smile, as her beautiful blond hair fluttered in the wind.

Her smile was beautiful enough to make anyone fall for her.

The girls cheeks quickly turned bright red.

Come on, Ill help you stand up.

T-Thank you

The girls energy had vanished and was replaced with obedience as she swiftly jumped up and fled away.

She ran away to her friends in the distance and began talking to them

Well its great that she had fun.

Zeph-kun! Everyone else as well!

As soon as Claude noticed us, she began running.

Did we make you wait, Claude?

Of course not. Since you became one of the Heavenly Mages, Zeph-kun, youve been quite busy, havent you?

Yea Im sorry, theres a lot of troublesome stuff to take care of you see. I said, stroking her head.

After I became unable to look after the guild, all of the responsibilities had fallen on Claudes shoulders.

She must be having a really rough time.With the way Milly is and everything its only natural.

Is Milly there already?

No. She said shed wait for everyone.

That brat! What in the world is she doing?

AH?!Z-Zeph-kun?! Claude yelled out trying to stop me, however, I just brushed her off and entered the house.

Countless clothing was strewn over the living room, and the sound of rustling clothes as well as footsteps could be heard from the back of the room.

The person in the back seemed to have finally noticed that there was someone here, so he quickly ran towards the living room.

Hey Claude, what do you think about this?!

Milly emerged from the rear of the room, wearing a white one-piece that covered her completely naked body.

I assumed she was doing something important, and all shes doing is choosing out clothes

As I let out a sigh of disappointment, my eyes met with Millys

Ah

Dont mind me and just get ready. Everyones waiting.

Milly was utterly speechless at first, unable to do anything, and her cheeks gradually flushed.

W-W-What are you doing here Zeph?!Dont suddenly appear out of nowhere! You pervert!Idiot!

Youre the one who appeared out of nowhere, so why are you yelling at me?!

After saying everything she wanted to say Milly quickly ran away to the back once again.

What is wrong with her, good grief.

Milly, hurry up, okay?

B-But I cant pick

The one just now was fine. You looked good in it.

R-Really?! Then Ill go with it!

As soon as she heard me compliment her, she instantly made up her mind.

Tsch, she sure is carefree.

After a bit I could hear hurried footsteps coming from the back.I just hope she doesnt trip

Ta-da! How is it?!Does it look good?

Huh? Ah, yea, it does.

Urgh! At least look here when you say that! Milly grabbed my head and forcefully turned it towards her.

That hurts, you idiot.I just heard something cracking!

I looked at Milly while massaging my aching neck.

I-Its a little embarrassing when you look at me like that.

Arent you the one who told me to look at you?!

Milly began to fiddle with her thumbs gently while whispering.

H-How is it?

Hmph

Milly was dressed in a formal gown, which was a contrast from her usual appearance. She gave off a mature vibe.

She was just a child when I first met her, but she has grown up a lot since then.

What is it?

Nothing, I just thought that youre beautiful.

?!

Milly went completely numb as soon as she heard me.

Immediately after that her cheeks turned bright red.

Hmph! You wont get anything even if you compliment me!

I really meant what I said. Kuku.

With a smile on my face I stroked Millys head.

Ah! Youll ruin my hairdo

Milly appeared to be content with the current situation, despite what she said.

It wouldnt hurt you to be more honest with yourself you know

ZEPH-CHII! MILLY-CHAAN! HURRY UP!

Ops, I almost forgot. WERE COMING! Zeph, lets go!

Yea.

Milly grabbed my hand and rushed out.

The blinding light, as well as the smiles of everyone waiting for us, flooded my eyes as soon as she opened the door.

Last year Milly had managed to win the Title Match against the Blue Heavenly Mage.And today was the ceremony of her becoming the Aqua of Aqua.

Good grief, she really will trip if she runs like that.

I let out a sigh as I followed behind everyone.

By the way, dont you think our guild is amazing, having three Heavenly Mages and all?! Milly exclaimed.

Dont mention it. There are so many people wanting to join now that I can barely manage. Claude said with a wry smile.

Say, how about we get all of the Heavenly Mage seats?

Hmph, I guess you could say that Claudes magic falls under the Soul System. If we put in the effort, I can see it working out. Elise said, replying to Millys proposal.

In that case Ill aim for the Green System. W-Why are you all looking at me like that?!Ill have you know, but Im Bertram Cabels daughter! Theres nothing I cant do once I put my mind to it!

Your group really is a rowdy one Zeph. By the way, I have a request for you all, so how about it? Yera asked.

Well do it! Were definitely doing it! Milly exclaimed without even hearing the contents of Yeras request.

At the same time Claude quickly tried to stop her.

M-Milly-san! Dont just jump into everything

Its fine! Milly smiled brightly as she turned to face us all.

After all, were the Hunters of the Blue Sky, the strongest guild there is!

As we tried to make sense of Millys bizarre reasoning, we were all left speechless.

Good grief, the reason were all so busy is because you take on everything, you know?!

But even so, it didnt seem like any of us disagreed with her.

She really is one hell of a guild master.

I let out a sigh as I spoke to Yera.

So, what is it this time?

If were doing it, lets just get it over with fast.With everyones help, efficiently.After all, we cant stop forging forward.

TL/N: This is the end of the Light Novel. Thank you all for reading up to here. May fate guide us to meet each other once again in the future. Thank you once again <3
