The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

* * *

A week after the fight with the King of Death.

On a daily basis Milly and I continue to hunt at the Decayed Church.

We scraped through the hunting grounds, single-mindedly shooting the White Ball spell.

The boss is a powerful force, so it takes a month for it to revive itself.

So for a while we can hunt without the fear of that nuisance,

However.

Hey Zeph~ Im tired of this already~

Milly seems to think our hunting is boring.

Its probably because all we do is shoot White Ball while standing around.

I dont want to raise my level here anymore, so lets go find another hunting ground okay?

Certainly, another hunting ground may be more efficient than the present one, but here we can hunt zombies with no fear of the King of Death, and the lack of tension makes it very easy to fall asleep.

Milly will probably fall asleep soon if I leave her alone, and thatll be boring.

After I reached level 25, my level doesnt rise anymore.

Sure, but where are we even going to find another hunting ground?

I know right~? I wonder where a nice place would be.

Millys grumbling like a spoiled child.

Well, the King of Death is going to revive again anyway.

It doesnt sound too bad to find another hunting ground.

Lets split up for a while then. Milly, youll go find a new hunting ground while I earn some money in the meantime.

Huh?

Ill put up our stall and sell our products, itd be more efficient if only one person went out to sell accessories and buy equipment, while the other finds the hunting grounds right?

T-thats true but umm

Ill feel at ease if you hold onto the crystal rod for now.

Thats No, Im fine! I understand! I leave and find a new hunting groundby myself!Without you!

Milly said so while teleporting away.

Whew.

I have to say, without Milly here I feel a little lonely.

She needs to learn how to act alone in the future, so itd be good to encourage self-reliance for now.

Although I already roughly know the hunting grounds around here, finding a new hunting ground alone should be good training even for someone like Milly.

After a few days, once again I was setting foot inside the commercial city of Berita.

I came here to sell my items at my stall and increase our monetary funds.

After that with our increase in gold, Ill go see if theres any items that I can buy for cheap.

Then Ill visit Lydias store if theres time.

Theres a reason I want to go.

I first set foot in First Streets Square.

Im not even going to bother if they dont offer gold.

Stall Square isnt open during the holidays.

When I finally found some space for my stall, while I was unloading and carrying some luggage on my shoulder, as I was walking through the crossroads

Awawawawa~!?

A girl suddenly rushed into me from the side, and I accidentally let go of my luggage.

I felt something soft, and my luggage was sent flying through the air.

Somehow I was able to keep my balance, but the girl wasnt able to keep her balance and fell.

Ouch~

Are you okay? As I was about to say that when I stretched my towards the girl, I noticed something.

Hmm? Where have I seen

A blue-haired, ponytail girl that wore a closed white shirt on top that barely covered her large breasts.

Since she was on the ground, with a glance you could get a glimpse of some kind of white fabric in the gap of her hot pants.

Theres also a cart covered with a floral pattern thrown onto the road.

Lydia!

Wait, If I remember correctly youre umm whats your name again?

Come to think of it, I never introduced myself, did I?

Im Zeph. Zeph Einstein, I was probably walking without paying attention to my surroundings, sorry.

Ah~ right. That makes sense, because I never forget a name and face, ever.

*Concon* Lydia picked up her goggles and started laughing. *Ahhaha*

Then suddenly as if she just realized what position shes in, closed her legs.

did you see?

A little.

Awawawa, dont tell me you saw?! In my hot pants? Zeph-kun, you mustve had a nice view huh.

No, it looked pretty normal okay it was good.

Wow~ wait, the contents of your bag is scattered everywhere! Crap, hurry! Ill help you pick them up!

Lydia said so, and gleaned over my luggage that was scattered on the ground. *Hyoihyoi*

She profusely and quickly picked everything up.

As expected from a merchant.

Speaking of which, Lydia must be quite possessive of her cart.

Even so, the instant before the crash Lydia pushed her cart away to protect me.

Besides my luggage thrown everywhere, I myself am safe.

While she herself fell, Lydias luggage was okay.

This is where you could say the professionalism of a merchant would be needed.

*Phew* After we picked up all the contents of the magic bag, we decided to take a break.

Hmm wow Lydia sure is tall.

Whenever I speak to her I always have to look up or else she might not hear me.

Well~ Thats fine, I dont mind.

Sorry Lydia, you seemed to be in a hurry, you sure it was okay for you to help me?

Oh, well that store over there was have a sale on stamina recovery potions, and its made by a famous stall to boot, they were probably going to be sold out immediately due to their popularity anyway. So Id miss it anyways, so dont worry about it.

I see. Oh, and its not like I wasnt grateful for what you did. Thanks.

She looked over here with a blank look in her eyes, and then laughed. *Ahhaha*

Well~ I dont hate honest fools like Zeph-kun who are still exploring the depths of what it means to be a merchant.

I dont feel like Im being praised.

Lydia continued even after seeing my complex expression.

Zeph-kun doesnt live in Berita right, so why have you come here today? Could it be that youve come here just to see me?

Her third statement is right on target.

What I say now doesnt need to be negative.

Well you helped me out once before, so I was hoping you could help me again.

Its a bit embarrassing, but I should answer honestly at times like this.

To make money, itd be efficient to be friends with Lydia whos a merchant.

Really? Im glad to have been of service, so Zeph-kun is also going to open a stall?

Ah, thats right. I need to make some money right now, but back home in Nanami there is no Stall Square.

Hoho, you need some money? Then why not ask Onee-san here if she can help you?

Lydia?

If you need financial consultations, just leave it to me. Im the best you know.

She said so while crossing her arms making her already big bulges seem even bigger, while putting on a bewitching smile.

Just tell Onee-san here everything~
