Chapter 78: Girl talk 2
＜Girl talk＞
“Well then, let's start our second meeting. For now, Nichrome shall introduce herself” (Ruu)
A few days after we came back to school, all familiars were in the private dormitory. Rin, who can't enter the dormitory, struck her head through the window. At the moment, it's morning and Tsuchio has magic lesson. Shadow-san has come from the school building to the dormitory. It seems that there was no problem although it was quite far away.
“What kind of things should I mention in the self-introduction? I have already talked about what was required" (Nichrome)
“Thats right...things that you are strong or weak in or what you like or dislike. Also, what kind of fighting you prefer between magic and melee?" (Ruu)
“Well, we should have already seen some things. In Nichrome′s case, it may be better not to talk about magic and fight, but what you can do apart from that" Ruu/Rin
Nichrome thinks a little. It seems that she can't speak while thinking.
“What can I do.... I′m armed with both near and long distance weapons, so I can correspond to both. Since my type is far more abundant, it might be that I'm good at long distance combat. I′m good at battle and calculation. I′m not able to predict the future, but if I have the data, I can read the other side's movements. There is nothing I like or dislike, because I'm a weapon. Ah, however, master is a little weak. He treats me like a person and not as a weapon. Lastly, I can't use magic” (Nichrome)
“Ah, you can't use magic. I thought you could use magic because you have magical power... therefore, you fight with that magic tool” (Ruu)
“Why is father weak.... Well, is it normal because you just became a familiar? At first, I was mainly recognized only. Huhu, but it will change soon. With the affection of father, we will gradually be chained together" (Lime)
“There isn't such a thing, I am a weapon" (Nichrome)
『Her arms...have changed』(Rin)
Rin looks at Nichrome with great interest. Until now, Nichrome, who isn't a lesser demon, is unusual. Or, doesn't she become a rival! What is the thought about that?
“Shall we introduce ourselves as well? When we fight together in the future, shouldn't she know our strengths and weaknesses?" (Ruu)
“Yes, please” (Nichrome)
“Then, I will start. My name is Ruu and I′m Tsuchio′s wife! As you can see, I'm a dragon-type, though I don't know what kind. I can only use reinforcement magic, but I also can manipulate flames. I don't use it that much because the consumption is bad. The breath is very strong, but I use it only when I really have to use it because I can't move at all at that time. If I let my breath out, I think I'm fighting a considerable nemesis. What I like are Tsuchio and fish! What I dislike are Tsuchio′s enemies and corpses! My nose is good, but I'm generally weak against strong odors” (Ruu)
“It is important to watch out for your breath. Reinforcement magic, is it magic where your arms become bright red?" (Nichrome)
“Uh, it is so. Tsuchio got on my back before and manipulated my magic power to further strengthen it.... It's been awhile since the last time, because I evolved into this form” (Ruu)
“Master′s magic...please tell me later about it” (Nichrome)
“Okay, so who is next..." Ruu
“Me. I′m Lime and I'm father's treasure. I′m a slime, but I'm a little special because I received the protection of Mr. Honey poison. I can deform my body and take on various shapes, while the nail form is the sharpest. In the past, I ate the arm of an advanced dragon, so it's easy for me to create claws with magic. After that, I could take on the solution form and produce poison. If you need some drugs, you only need to tell me. What I like is father and the thing I dislike is the kind of insects that father hates, in a broad sense. Let's do our best together to make father happy" (Lime)
“Who is Honey poison?” (Nichrome)
“Lime, Rin and I got protection from three dragons as thanks for Tsuchio when he saved the dragon child. Lime′s protection was granted by honey poison who is one of the dragons that were involved. More details later. The next one is Rin” (Ruu)
『I don't think I need to talk now.... My name is Rin and as you can see, I'm a unicorn. I’ve been told to only let virgins ride me, but it’s not like it will affect me much. I'm good at magic, but I can only use lightning attack magic. I was blessed to receive the dragon protection. I also can do close combat, but since we have Ruu and Lime, I'm almost always end up attacking with magic. I like to run quickly and also to run at a cool time. What I dislike are male horses, because they look at me with strange glances...』(Rin)
“Ruu and Lime are the vanguard, while Rin and Shadow-san are the rearguard. Should I be the halfback or the all rounder?” Nichrome
“Well, you have to talk with Tsuchio about it. Tsuchio is also a rearguard, because he isn't good as a vanguard. With that machine gun, you're considered as a vanguard” (Ruu)
“Well, let's ask for master′s opinion. Shadow-san...yes, I understand” (Nichrome)
『It's easy to tell, but it's a little bland』(Shadow-san)
“Anyway, I guess the self-introduction is over. Then, let's talk about Tsuchio next..." (Ruu)
After they started to talk about Tsuchio, the place became very lively. Nichrome seems to be listening and collecting data on Tsuchio. The discussion continued until Tsuchio brought lunch.
＜Girls(?) Talk＞
“Ah, academy principal, I was ahead of you" (Sasha-sensei)
“I'm late, a guest came from the kingdom" (Principal)
“Longer discussions in various ways.... Bring me some beer and some food" (Principal)
“I would like to get a mead” (Sasha-sensei)
“I would like to get a wheat one” (Loreen-san)
At a certain bar in the city near the academy, three women were talking while drinking at the same table. It was the principal, Sasha-sensei and Loreen-san. The principal takes a drink of her alcohol that the clerk brought and breathes greatly. Usually, it is a spectacle seldom shown at the academy. If Tsuchio was in this place, he would likely say, "Sensei! Because you aren't young anymore, it is dangerous if you drink so quickly! Drinking at a stroke is absolutely useless!".
“Haaa...” (Principal)
“I'm also tired. After all, it makes me tired to oppose the government" (Sasha-sensei)
"Especially in the academy, there are many people who are trying to pull out excellent students" (Loreen-san)
Originally, the Principal and Sasha-sensei were acquainted. Occasionally, they would drink together and this time Loreen-san joined them. Loreen-san was close to Sasha-sensei′s age and was a magician similar to the Principal. Furthermore, among the people involved in the court, there were various parts in common or they tried to drink by themselves unexpectedly.
“Even so...Tsuchio did it again" (Principal)
“Getting lost in the ancient ruins, his slime became a human...the missing part was okay, but what about the slime?” (Sasha)
“Tentatively, he indirectly reported. Well, originally it was a small fry slime, but I don't think there's any interest in that" (Principal)
“I hope so. That's the first time that a slime became a human, right?” (Sasha)
“Officially, though" (Principal)
“What do you mean?" (Loreen)
“There may be cases where it was not reported or they were encountered and killed. Officials won't be interested in that, but the guild is different. If the story is transmitted, I think that they would come to hear the talk" (Sasha)
“At times like that, I wish to refuse politely. The academy is in the jurisdiction of the Kingdom and is far stronger than the guilds. I will leave the reporting part to Tsuchio himself" (Principal)
“That’s a good idea. Loreen, did you get used to the academy? When I came to the academy, it took me a long time to get used to it" (Sasha-sensei)
“It's all right, I like to teach people in person. Sasha-san was just shy, wasn't she?" (Loreen)
“That's right. When Sasha just came to the academy, she was frightened and sulked silently" (Principal)
“It is an old story. What about your research, are you a court magician now?” (Sasha-sensei)
"Unification standardization of charms are proceeding fairly. I am gradually improving it so that when the students use it,individual differences don't appear as much as possible. The next challenge is how to increase the types" (Loreen)
“Were you able to make various talismans to cope with every situation? Isn't it a research for the knights? Even if the magic is little, will it be able to achieve a certain effect?"
“Well, that is for sale. Apart from that, Tsuchio 's talismans are ingenious" (Loreen)
“He imitates creatures. At first glance, they look like devil beasts” (Sasha-sensei)
“Well, if you don't know anything, you only see it as a devil beast. How he managed to make such a mark...I don't know" (Loreen)
“Is it because he is a tamer...? Other than that, there are other talismans, right?" (Sasha)
“The other ones are those I made. I'm worried about that bee and the snake" (Loreen)
“A lot of his familiars have changed, too. Especially that new guy, she looked like a lamia... " (Sasha)
“The atmosphere is a little different, so she isn't just a Lamia. Mutant species...or a different feeling..." (Principal)
“I wonder what's with Tsuchio. He is from a far away place. Why did he come to the kingdom? And isn't in his own country” (Loreen)
“I guess there are circumstances, but it's too rude to ask..." (Principal)
“There is a different feeling from the people around here" (Sasha)
“I guess it is so...however what country is he from?" (Loreen)
“Well, it's no use talking about it. Let's talk about more familiar things now" (Principal)
“And what is that?” (Loreen)
“Well, when women gather and talk, they usually talk about men” (Principal)
“”Aaa..."”( Sasha & Loreen)
Two people grimace and bring their drinks to their mouth. The principal drank up the first cup as soon as possible and asked for another one.
“You know what, both of you have a sour face. You are still young women, is there no one you like?" (Principal)
“No, especially my colleagues can't be seen with such eyes" (Sasha)
“I have always been in love with magic...and I'm particularly not interested” (Loreen)
“When you're dead, it's going to be too late for that!” (Principal)
“I don't want to be told that by the Principal” (Sasha)
“Ah, that's what you were concerned about. Is the Principal single?” (Loreen)
“I'm single. When I was young I was very popular...as you can see now” (Principal)
“Despite hearing me, why did Sasha answer, then it’s fine with me, I like being alone anyways”
“It sounds like an excuse and only people who are late will say so" (Principal)
“I don't want children and I can live without marrying. And that's because a quirk is important. I don't think you need to force it" (Loreen)
“There was a time when I thought so, too. I wonder, meeting the destined partner only happens in stories. Reality is ruthless" (Sasha)
“It's not like that...but I can't find someone that fits me. I've been dating a few times already" (Loreen)
“I don't want to be like the Principal and look for it when I feel like it" (Sasha)
“Kuukuukuu, hasty young people. Life is short, you can't waste a minute or a second" (Principal)
“I feel confident" (Loreen)
“Experienced people can talk" (Sasha)
“It's only now that I can afford to aspire...a woman will only deteriorate after the age of 30" (Principal)
“No no, the Principal is beautiful! Your skin isn't wrinkled at all and it has a witch-like feeling!" (Loreen)
“That's not a compliment!" (Sasha)
And the night went on.
