Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 211

Star attribute

***---***

 

 After having breakfast with the chairman, Manon, and Beatriche, I contacted Katou-sensei and Kajikawa-san and asked them to wait for a while before the next return work.

 

 Katou-sensei looked reluctant, but he was finally convinced when I told him that if all went well, everyone might be sent back together.

 

 Watanuki-san would be supported by Satou-sensei, Senzaki-sensei, and Ayako-sensei.

 

 On top of that, I planned to make it possible for her to return to Japan and have an abortion if she wished for such.

 

 

 After that, I headed to the Devil's Forest training ground.

 

 The star-attribute magic that combined all attributes. This was probably the higher version of summoning magic, but I didn't think I could summon or send people back without any training.

 

 I planned to practice more so that my classmates could return faster.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, have you grasped a clue? ]

 

"Yup, it seems like the star attribute, which combines all attributes, has great potential, but unlike normal attributes, it feels very vague about what it can do."

 

 

 For example, if it was fire attribute magic, it was like a fireball, and if it was wind attribute, it was like air currents, a specific phenomenon came to mind, it's just that I could do amazing things with the star attribute, but I couldn't think of anything specific.

 

 However, one thing that I could definitely think of was summoning.

 

 If I practiced this summoning technique, I should be able to summon people from afar regardless of their attribute.

 

 In other words, I should be able to summon my classmates in Volzard from Japan.

 

 

"That being said, I don't know how I should summon someone, or how to practice ..."

 

[ Kent-sama, why don't you first try to summon an object within the visible range to your hand? ]

 

"Yeah, how to do it ... I should feel rather than think."

 

 

 First, I tried it with a tree branch that had fallen at the edge of the training ground.

 

 I looked closely at what I was summoning, and imagined it teleporting after aiming.

 

 

"Summon!"

 

 

 Just as I imagined it in my head, the branch instantly moved into my hand.

 

 

[ Ohh, as expected of Kent-sama. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before you can send back your schoolmates. ]

 

"No, no, I've only summoned a branch, it's impossible without going through many stages before trying it on a human."

 

 

 After that, I tried a knife, a wooden box, and a rock that was too big for me to hold, all of which were successfully summoned.

 

 It seemed that there were some limits to the size and weight, but it was possible for a single person to move around without any problems.

 

 

 The next thing I tried was the repatriation technique.

 

 When I tried to see if I could send the items I had to a distant place, it worked well.

 

 Instantly summon from a distant place, and instantly send it away to a distant place.

 

 In Japan, it was magic that would make you a useless person who wouldn't even move a step out of a kotatsu.(TN:A kotatsu is usually a table covered by a blanket with a heater underneath. Apparently too comfy to get out of without effort.)

 

 

"Yup, objects seem to be fine, but the problem is living things."

 

[ Would you like to try an animal or something? ]

 

"That's right. Monsters don't seem to come near here, so let's move a little."

 

 

 It seemed that Nero and Zeta-tachi were claiming their territory in the Devil's Forest training ground, and monsters like Rock Ogres refused to come near.

 

 However, if I dive into the shadows and move deeper into the forest, I could easily find groups of affordable Goblins.

 

 

[ How will you do it, Kent-sama. ]

 

"Let's see ... Let's summon it and send it back to another place before I'm attacked."

 

 

 After watching the situation for a while, one Goblin separated from the herd as if it had found something.

 

 Let's have this guy become a practice target.

 

 When I stepped out from the shadow of a tree about 30 meters away to see what was going on, I suddenly met the Goblin's eyes.

 

 

"Summon!"

 

 

 The Goblin instantly moved to a distance of about 1 meter.

 

 

"Gii! Gigiiii!"

 

"Repatriate! Ah! ..."

 

 

 The activation of the repatriation technique and the surprised Goblin jumping back, was it because both of those happened at the same time.

 

 The front half of the Goblin's body disappeared, and the rear half, which had been severed vertically, fell while scattering its guts.

 

 Suddenly, a thick smell of blood began to waft around.

 

 

"Gya! Gigyagyagyaaaa!"

 

 

 A commotion was also beginning to occur in the group of Goblins where the front half had been sent.

 

 

"Uwaa, a big mistake ..."

 

 

 Some of the herd spotted me and ran towards me, so I put out a shield of darkness and slipped into the shadows.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, what happened? ]

 

"Yup, when you summon or repatriate, it's like cutting out the space where the target object is and moving it, but just now the Goblin moved, so it was out of that range."

 

[ I see, the front part of the body that remained within the range was repatriated, and the protruding rear half remained, right? ]

 

"It seems so. But, I have to be a little careful about this, because if my classmates become like that, it will be no joke."

 

[ That's right. However, it seems that even living creatures can be summoned as long as they are within range. ]

 

"That's right. I need some more verification."

 

 

 After that, when I continued the verification several times, it seemed that if it protruded beyond the specified range, it would be cut off suddenly, and before moving, if there was a solid object at the location, it seemed that it couldn't be repatriated successfully.

 

 For example, even if I wanted to send the Goblin back into the rock, I couldn't push the rock away and ram in the Goblin.

 

 It seemed possible if I first summoned the large rock to hollow it out and then sent the Goblin into that open space.

 

 

"I've come to understand quite a bit about summoning and repatriation, but there's a bit of a problem."

 

[ What is that, Kent-sama? ]

 

"Yup, if it's within the visible range, it seems like it can be summoned and repatriated, but I don't feel like I can summon or repatriate anything that I can't see."

 

[ I see, is it a range specification problem? ]

 

"Yup, that's how it feels."

 

 

 The ability to instantly summon far away objects closer to me, or conversely to send them away, was convenient, but I didn't think I would be able to use it to return my classmates.

 

 

"I see, that method ... No, it's no good ..."

 

[ Kent-sama? ]

 

 

 If I used the method of viewing from the sky that I experienced when I acquired the star attribute, the range I could see would expand significantly, but I still couldn't see Japan from Volzard.

 

 From from Japan, if I was 500 meters away, the visual estimation became vague.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, how about calling it here for today? ]

 

"Ehh, ahh, that's right. Let's go back soon."

 

 

 When I was engrossed in summoning and repatriation, the sun had completely set and the area was getting dark.

 

 As soon as I was conscious of the time, my stomach complained of hunger.

 

 Come to think of it, I didn't eat lunch, did I.

 

 I hid in the shadows and moved to the back of the boarding house.

 

 

"I've just returned ... Fubuu!"

 

"Who are you! Ehh, Kent ...?"

 

 

 When I opened the back door and called out, Meisa-chan, who came rushing in like a rocket, let go of my body and took a stance.

 

 

"What's wrong? Meisa-chan."

 

"Kent ... Right?"

 

"That's right. Ahh, this ..."

 

"Why don't you have black hair? Did you suddenly get old?"

 

"It's not like that. This seems to be the effect of taking in attributes."

 

"Attributes, taking ...?"

 

"What's going on, you're making a lot of noise ... Oya, Kent, what's wrong with your hair?"

 

"Yes, that's what I was trying to explain."

 

 

 Amanda-shan's shop was closed from today until the dark day of the week at the beginning of the year.

 

 When I was thinking about talking about my hair color, my stomach growled loudly, so I decided to finish dinner first.

 

 It seemed that tonight was a prototype of a new menu that they were planning to release from the beginning of the year.

 

 The chicken wings were seasoned with salt mixed with herbs and grilled until the skin was crispy.

 

 It seemed that the key to the new menu was the sauce that went well with it, and there were about five kinds of sauces lined up.

 

 I think the reason why the restaurant was so popular was that they were not satisfied with the status quo and were always looking for new flavors.

 

 

"Now, Kent, try each sauce and give us your frank opinion."

 

"Then, this fir ... st, I think the last one would be better."

 

 

 The first sauce looked like it was going to be spicy.

 

 

"Ahh, it's a little stimulating, so leave it for later."

 

"Then, from this one ..."

 

"How is it?"

 

 

 The green sauce had a slightly bitter vegetable as the base, the sauce itself was delicious, but when applied to meat, maybe it was incompatible with the herbs used for seasoning, it wasn't good enough and I felt the bitterness strongly.

 

 

"Just a little, I feel a strong bitterness when combined with the herbs."

 

"I see ... Fumu, right, that's true. Then, next."

 

 

 The second sauce was a deep orange, refreshing citrus sauce.

 

 

"Mugu mugu ... Nguu, this feels like saltiness and sourness collide."

 

"Right, right ... Fumu, right, that's true. Then, next."

 

 

 The third sauce was a thick, creamy sauce.

 

 

"Mugu mugu ... Nguu, this is also rich and delicious, but I feel that the light taste of the meat is lost."

 

"Right. Certainly, the sauce is a bit too strong."

 

 

 The fourth sauce seemed to be a purple fruity sauce.

 

 

"Nnh! Yup, yup ... This is delicious. The balance between sweetness and sourness is exquisite."

 

"Let's see, ahh, right. This level of balance is good."

 

 

 And the last was the bright red sauce.

 

 As soon as it was placed on the table, a spicy scent wafted in the air, but it was also an appetizing scent.

 

 

"Nn~~h! Spicy! , but delicious!! Ahh, this is crazy, it's addictive."

 

"Ahahaha, right, that's right, that's the work I'm most proud of."

 

 

 It was so spicy that it made my tongue tingle, but it wasn't a simple spiciness, it was a complex spiciness that you could feel the umami and sweetness.

 

 This removed the odor of the meat and brought out the flavor.

 

 Meisa-chan, while going 'hii hii', was also in a state where she couldn't stop.

 

 But did Amanda-san feel a sense of urgency to prepare a new menu when Meline went independent?

 

 

"Obviously, if you can easily overcome your master, you might become complacent and stop training. The predecessor must be a high wall to overcome."

 

"But, then Meline-san's shop won't get on track ..."

 

"Don't be silly. I accepted it and sent her out, so there's no way it won't be popular."

 

"That's right, but the taste was terrible before the store was closed ..."

 

"Ahh, it's true that there will be bad reviews, but Meline will be fine."

 

"Ma, that's true."

 

"Also, Kent, what happened to your hair and eyes?"

 

"Yes, this is ..."

 

 

 When I explained how I had taken the water attribute and acquired all the attributes, including 

 

 

"Eh~h ... It's a bit unbelievable that you can use all the attributes, because you're just Kent."

 

"No, no, Meisa-chan, it's strange that you can't believe it. I'm doing my best too."

 

"Eh~h ... Then, show me proof."

 

"Even if you say to prove it ..."

 

"Ehh, whaat? No wayy ..."

 

 

 I summoned the half-eaten pudding that was in front of Meisa-chan and immediately returned it to its original position.

 

 Amanda-san, who was watching it from the front, widened her eyes in amazement.

 

 

"Kent, what was that just now?"

 

"Yes, this is the star-attribute summoning technique that I can use after obtaining all the attributes."

 

"How do you know that it's star attribute?"

 

"Ehh, that ... Somehow?"

 

"It's amazing, but it's kind of unreliable."

 

"Haa ..."

 

 

 No, no, Meisa-chan, while I'm talking, I wish you wouldn't extend your spoon and force summon my pudding.

 

 

"Hey, Kent, can you send Kent's friends back to their home country?"

 

"Right now, I can only use it where I can see, but eventually ..."

 

"Is Kent going back too?"

 

"I'm not going back. In my case, returning to my original world will be troublesome, so I'll stay in Volzard."

 

"Really? Really really?"

 

"Really, really, I'm not returning ... Or rather, I don't want to return."

 

"Mufuu ... I see, that's right. You don't want to go back."

 

 

 Meisa-chan puffed through her nose and had a satisfied expression on her face, but maybe she doesn't like having her favorite toy gone, or maybe she doesn't like losing the fluffy Mart-tachi.

 

 

"That's right. The shop is already closed, and I'm also taking a little vacation ..."

 

"What, what, what are you doing?"

 

"Meisa-chan, should I teach you arithmetic earnestly."

 

"I hate iiiiiit! I haate arithmetic!"

 

"Don't you have winter vacation homework?"

 

"That ... I don't! Something like homework ..."

 

"Meisa ... If you're thinking about lying and skipping your homework, I'll ask Kent to double the math problems."

 

"No way! After all there is, I'll do my homework properly ..."

 

 

 Seriously, Meisa-chan, trying to run away from the difficulties in front of you ... I can't say I'm any better.

 

 

"Hey, Kent, when are we going for the picnic?"

 

"Ueh? Picnic ..."

 

"Did you forget? You promised I could take a nap with Nero, didn't you."

 

"That's right ..."

 

 

 It's true that I promised Meisa-chan to go on a picnic so that she could take a nap with Nero.

 

 

"What's that, what picnic, you can't go in this cold weather."

 

"No, I'm going on a picnic! I'm going to take a nap with Nero, Mart, Mirt, and Murt! Also, while I'm at it, Kent ..."

 

 

 Me, while you're at it, is it.

 

 But, I have to keep my promises.

 

 

"Right, Amanda-san, I have a piece of land that I have cleared to build a house, how about spreading a sheet there and eating lunch together?"

 

"Land, you say ... Ahh, it just popped up on the west side of town. A customer said it was rumored that monsters were working on it."

 

"Yes, I'm currently building a place for all my genus to live, but I'm planning to build my own house as well."

 

"You're just Kent, having your own house is cheeky!"

 

"Maa, just like Meisa-chan says, I think I'm being cheeky myself, but there are various circumstances."

 

"Kent should stay on the second floor of my house forever!"

 

"No, no, then there's no place for my wives to sleep."

 

"Then you shouldn't get married!"

 

"There are circumstances that can't be said ..."

 

"Circumstances, you say? Yuika-san, and Manon-san, and Beatriche-san, there's no reason to hurry, right?"

 

"Maa, that's right, but ..."

 

 

 When I talked about the Gigas extermination and Seraphima, both Amanda-san and Meisa-chan froze with their mouths wide open.

 

 

"Okaa-san, I think Kent can't tell the difference between dreams and reality."

 

"I think so too ... Kent, I'm guessing you've properly talked to the other three."

 

"Yes, it has already been properly reported."

 

"Hey, hey, Okaa-san. Kent will have four wives and live in a house like the Lord's Mansion?"

 

"Well, I guess so, but I can't imagine it at all."

 

"I don't really have a sense of reality, myself, and it's not my house, it's the house where everyone will live."

 

 

 In fact, the size of my current boarding house is enough for me, and I planned to let everyone else use the rest.

 

 I just wanted a large dining room where everyone could eat together.

 

 I arranged the time during the break, agreed to have lunch with everyone at the planned construction site, and returned to my room for the time being.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, Zae has a request to ask of you. ]

 

"Zae does? What is it."

 

"My King. If possible, please grant us the water attribute."

 

"Ahh, that's right. I've managed to acquire the water attribute. Then, is the planned construction site okay?"

 

"Yes, thank you very much."

 

 

 Zae and the others moved to the planned construction site of their home in order to give the Undead Lizardmen water attributes, but I was surprised.

 

 

"Ehh, trees are growing, but ..."

 

"My King, nature is still needed."

 

"Ehh, ahh ... Yup, right."

 

 

 It was a huge piece of land, so I thought it would look bleak without garden trees, but I wondered just how many trees were towering over me.

 

 I wondered where and how they brought them in.

 

 

"Nyaa, Nero helped carry them, nya."

 

"Nushi-dono, we also helped."

 

"Ahh ... Yup, thank you."

 

"An easy task, nya."

 

"Ask us anytime, Nushi-dono."

 

 

 Perhaps Zeta-tachi dug it up and Nero put out a shield of darkness and brought them in.

 

 Nevertheless. The big trees were planted on the west side and the north side of the land, probably considering the sunshine properly, but the big trees were not planted on the east side and the south side, probably also considering the sunshine.

 

 Or rather, something like a huge resort pool had been built, but I wondered if this was the pond that Zae was talking about.

 

 I could see the structure clearly because there was no water in it, but the front was shallow and the farther you went, the deeper it was dug.

 

 Moreover, the bottom and sides seemed to be solidly hardened with earth-attribute magic.

 

 Somehow, my house looked like it was going to be an amusement park.

 

 

"Th, then, let's give the attribute."

 

 

 I gave Zzae-tachi magic stones and asked them to form a circle around me.

 

 Wrapped in a dark mist, what I imagined was the figure of Zae-tachi who freely manipulated water, played with water, and fought with water.

 

 When the mist was cleared and the attribute was given, it felt like the scales of Zae and the others were shining brighter.

 

 

"Magnificent, as expected of My King, Kent Kokubu-sama. With this, I can fight even stronger and more skillfully."

 

 

 After Zae and the others had finished being given the attribute, they scattered all over the pond and started casting magic all at once, filling the pond with water.

 

 

"Yup, I'm sure this will make me want to swim in the summer."

 

 

 There was even a small island in the pond, and it seemed to be just right for sunbathing after swimming.

 

 

"Umm, but, how should I purify the water in this pond?"

 

[ Don't worry, Kent-sama. The Lizardmen should be able to use magic to purify the water. ]

 

"I see, so should I leave the management of the pond, including the water quality, to Zae-tachi?"

 

[ Indeed, that's right. ]

 

 

 Yup, yup, it's pretty good, when summer comes, I'd love to have my brides wear racy swimsuits ... This is a dream come true.

 

 From Flavia-san at the clothing store, should I order some white school swimsuits for Manon and Seraphima as well.

 

 The chairman and Beatriche should definitely wear bikinis.

 

 Yu~p, I can't wait for summer now.
