Shut-in Magician - Chapter 61

Chapter 061: The Dragon’s Big Breeding Season is a Disaster

He had magic bags stored in his spatial storage .

He also had trial products in there and had a lot of stock, so he took out a simple leather bag out from his storage for Galgrecia .

He put raw Water Dragon meat, raw vegetables he’d bought from the Royal Capital, tofu and bean dishes, and cooked rice into the magic bag . He also took this opportunity to put his leftover raw and smoked Three-Eyed Bear meat into the bag .

“I don’t need that much food . ”

“But, you said that you’re still continuing on your journey, didn’t you?”

“Still . ”

“I’ll also put Aul’s favourite fruits in . ”

“…… Yay . ”

Aurea didn’t think she could eat fruits during this season and was extremely pleased . Vegetarians were limited in the food they could eat, so she was probably happy because of that .

“The soup and juice is made from vegetables that grow within this area . Eat it too, Gal . ”

“…… Yeah . ”

“I put meat and fish in the other dishes . I didn’t use any meat in the  soup broth for the soup . Don’t worry, Aul . ”

“Thanks . ”

She laughed .

Aurea was like an imaginary angel with her white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes . Her hair was long and not tied up . It was flowing in the wind like a golden thread .

“Aul, likes, Shiiiu . ”

“Thanks, I like you too Aul . ”

She’s so cute .  He patted her head like he did with Feles, who was in her arms .

Luckily for him, it was alright for high elves to have their heads patted .

He had to get his teachers to teach him about the various tribes in this world .

He couldn’t mess up again .

They weren’t mentioned in the books he had, so he could only ask his teachers . Or .

 

“Shiu, you don’t study at Seeker?”

That was the magic academy in Latrisha . They were said to have books that didn’t exist anywhere else .

“I was told that I had to get a recommendation or be the top student of a magic academy to get into Seeker Magic Academy . Why do you ask?”

“…… I thought you would be studying there . ”

“I am trying to get into there . ”

“I see . ”

“I want to read their books . ”

“…… So your aim is the books? I thought you were aiming to be a great magician . ”

Everything thought that . Shiu smiled wryly and shook his head .

“I don’t want to be great or anything . I want to live a steady, modest and quiet life . ”

“…… Isn’t that difficult?”

“It might be . Anyway, I want to learn about different things from books . And I want to visit a lot of places . Unlike Gal, I can say this because I don’t have a job that’s like a job . ”

“You’re a strange child . But, it seems like something you would say…… Shiu, we’ll probably meet again . ”

It wasn’t a verse that was like a greeting .

There was a solemn echo coming from somewhere .

Then, Shiu thought the same thing .

Galgrecia and Aurea . I’ll probably meet then again somewhere .

“Yes, let’s meet again . ”

“Shiiu, bye bye . ”

She waved her cute little hands .

It seemed like she understood that it was time for them to part .

Shiu passed the magic bag stuffed with items to Galgrecia and asked, “How did you know that something happened around here?”

“The Wyverns were talking about it . ”

“…… You understand what they say,” he couldn’t help but muttered .

 

“…… You understand what they say,” he couldn’t help but muttered .

Galgrecia looked somewhat bitter while saying, “It’s hard to listen to them talk because they blabber too much . ”

It seemed hard to talk to them .

“They were being noisy at the fact that they couldn’t approach Royer Mountain for a while now . I’d thought it was a turf war amongst high-ranking dragons . ”

This meant that the big breeding season might cause a big disaster .

“I’m also worried about some other places too . I was going to go back to the dragon-kin village after I investigated each place . ”

I’ll like to visit there one day, Shiu thought but didn’t say aloud .

Instead he said, “Be careful . I’m also worried about something so I’m going to go check it out . ”

“Don’t push yourself . ”

“I won’t . I’ll do something that only I can do . ”

“…… Okay . Do that . ”

Galgrecia consented so Shiu used communication magic in front of him .

「Can you hear me? Now you can tell me if something happens! 」

It was great for Shiu to see Galgrecia with his eyes wide opened . He was sure that was his best surprise face .

Shiu laughed for some reason every time he recalled it .

 

 

He had a chance encounter with new friends, spent a long time at lunch and stopped harvesting herbs in the afternoon .

He’d already collected the amount he wanted and was currently immersed in his memories .

Feles must have been thinking the same thing because he wasn’t loitering around . He was looking at Lake Cordis .

The colour of the lake resembled Aurea’s eyes .

 

 

 

 

 

Late at night, Shiu and Feles teleported back to the outside of the Royal Capital .

He was warned by the gatekeeper to come back earlier when he went through the central gate and he apologised before rushing home .

Emina wasn’t there and old man Stan was drinking alone while looking at the moon . Shiu put Feles to sleep first before joining Stan .

He wanted to talk about Galgrecia .

Old man Stan should know about his abilities and it was easier to talk to him about this .

“The big breeding season? That’s bad . ”

“Is it that bad?”

“Yeah . That dragon-kin probably said it as well, but they can cause a great disaster . ”

“…… Really?”

“Some people say it’s worse than war . ”

There was a reason why war was detestable .

“You can’t choose the time and place . ”

“Strategically, it’s a problem . ”

“We can’t predict what would happen . It’s even worse than a weather disaster . ”

It was a big problem because they couldn’t predict where it would happen and what they should do to defend themselves against it .

“Even if that’s the case, it’s impossible to say . ”

That’s right .

He couldn’t tell the guild where the information came from .

Shiu become more troubled as they talked .

“Anyway, you can’t predict what would happen, so they can’t do anything about it even if you tell them . ”

“…… I can’t even spread it as a rumour?”

“Hmm . I guess so . Well, it might be different if people know about it rather than know nothing at all . ”

Even though old man Stan was worried, he told Shiu he’ll spread it as a rumour for him .

Shiu was really thankful because it was probably difficult for him to spread the rumour as a child .

Even though old man Stan was worried, he told Shiu he’ll spread it as a rumour for him .

Shiu was really thankful because it was probably difficult for him to spread the rumour as a child .

Either way, it was a disaster that they could only come up with a makeshift solution .

It will come to light that they need to take countermeasures .

Even so, if people know that a disaster would come someday then they could prepare for it .

If possible, he wanted the dragons to do it in a place that wouldn’t affect the people nor the environment .

He knew that this was his own selfish opinion, but he still hoped .

 

 

 

He went to the guild early the next morning to submit the Herba .

His reward took a long time to be calculated since he gave a considerably large amount of herbs, which made him a little late to school .

After he got home from school, he spend half the day processing and mixing the herbs he’d harvested for the past 2 days .

He didn’t get around to researching cooking methods for the Water Dragon meat .

He’d harvested more than he expected .

He tried not to think about it, but he’d had a feeling that he harvested more than he needed .

Well, it wasn’t a feeling; he had actually harvested more than he needed .

“…… I would be singled out if I took these to the guild . ”

Overskill was good . Getting exposed was scary .

He thought about putting it on auction at the black market, but he put that on hold for now .

He wanted to see the auction once since he heard that magic bags sold for a large amount of money there .

However, he had to investigate it thoroughly first .

At the very least, he had to make sure that they wouldn’t find out that he was a child .

He wrote his schedule down at night .

Feles was getting in his way as usual . This was probably because he was a young beast, but Shiu had a feeling that this habit wouldn’t change even when he became an adult .
