Late afternoon. Today I took a rest from going into the dungeon, and instead relaxed myself at the living room.
And the people who were relaxing with me were Celeste and Leia.
For Celeste, itās because todayās weather is the Magic Storm, as for Leia, she obviously would follow me, so if I was resting, sheāll do the same as well.
[Is it alright to not go to the dungeon today?]Ā (Celeste)
While nomming on the snacks that Emily made, Celeste asked me.
[Itās fine. Todayās my rest day. Iāve already created a rule for myself.](Ryouta)
[What kind of rule would that be?]Ā (Celeste)
[Itās where I would not work after 5pm in the evening.]Ā (Ryouta)
[It should be basic.]Ā (Celeste)
The word [Basic] was casually added.
Celeste should know well to not break yourself.
[Besides that, I decided to have a two days off a week.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Itās my dream to have a two days off a week, following the calenderās weekend. Previously, it would go something along the lines of [Saturday, Sunday? Whatās that? Is that delicious?]]Ā (Ryouta)
[I donāt quite understand, but taking a break is a good thingā¦..Should I follow as well.]Ā (Celeste)
[Hm? Did you say something Celeste.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Nope, I didnāt say anything.]Ā (Celeste)
Celeste then happily smiled.
You know, nowadays when I look at Celeste, sheās becoming more and more beautiful.
Itās not the kind where you would say āAww sheās cuteā, but just pure beauty.
Sheās already such a beauty, so itās like adding up more marks to it.
Whatās more, sheās inside the mansion that Emily has revamped, when sheās inside our mansion, itās like adding onto something which is already beautiful even more beautiful.
Hmm, the example isnāt good.
Like a tiger with wings? Ā No maybe a strong man with a halberd? Or like having Mona Lisa as a default Windows XP wallpaper? (TLN: Basically all these idioms means that strengthening something which is already the best even more)
Basically I have reached my end of thinking and even started to doubt myself, but regardless sheās amazing.
Itās enough to look at her and say sheās wonderful.
[Itās like Master and his revolver. Is that fine too?]Ā (Leia)
Leia suddenly opened her mouth which startled me.
[Whatās that supposed to mean?]Ā (Ryouta)
[Itās the answer to Masterās thoughts. A metaphor of a situation where a strong person gains a powerful tool in their hands, such is what I concluded after some thoughts.]Ā (Leia)
[Ryouta-san and his revolver, that might sound nice.]Ā (Celeste)
[NO no no no wait, I do understand where youāre getting at, but I beg you, please donāt use this outside of this mansion. Itāll spell out disaster if a certain aristocrat were to hear about this.]Ā (Ryouta)
[If youāre talking about Cell-san, then he wouldāve spread it around the world in just a day.]Ā (Celeste)
[Exactly, so please stop it.]Ā (Ryouta)
If itās him Iām sure he will seriously do it, heāll really make the saying [Ryouta and his revolver] a trend.
He canāt possibly hear any of thisā¦..right?
I frantically turned around and looked at every corner, then went to the window and scanned everywhere.
Luckily I did not see the appearance of Cell.
He shouldnāt be resting today, but he might be bored and would come here.
[By the wayā¦.The lady, what is the status of Leia?]Ā (Celeste)
[Wait, you donāt know?]Ā (Celeste)
[Now that you mentionā¦..]Ā (Ryouta)
By now, I shouldāve checked her status long before.
[I know that youāre a Final F. but what about the other status.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Then use this please.]Ā (Celeste)
Celeste then handed over the Portable K-I-A Board to her.
Then following the flow, I asked Leia to use it.
āāāļ¼ļ¼ļ¼āāā
āāāāāāāāā
āāāļ¼ļ¼ļ¼āāā
āāāāāāāāā
As I looked at Leiaās status, it was a spectacular All F mark.
Both her ability and her drops were beautifully F.
And plus her level is at the highest of 1, which means I canāt do anything to help her.
[Iām sorry Leia, being forced to be put under such a state.]Ā (Ryouta)
[? Why is Master apologizing?]Ā (Leia)
[Etto, thatās becauseā¦never mind.]Ā (Ryouta)
Seems like Leia doesnāt mind it at all. And she doesnāt understand why I felt apologetic to her.
That in itself is sad, it saddens me even more knowing that she had her soul taken out of her, and that she couldnāt respond to my sadness as well.
And because of that, she doesnāt mind it.
If this continues, it might go pass my sentiment.
[Itās nothing. Anyways, with this status, itās better if you follow me from now on.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Iām counting on you Leia.]Ā (Ryouta)
[For the sake of Master.]Ā (Leia)
[By the way, Ryouta-san.]Ā (Celeste)
[Hm? What other things are you curious about Celeste?]Ā (Ryouta)
[If her strongest level is at 1, it means sheās the same as Ryouta, so isnāt it better for her to take the magic fruit?]Ā (Celeste)
I clapped my hands together.
I didnāt notice it, but because Celeste is a genuine magician, she wouldāve noticed this sooner than me.
In exchange of lowering your level by 1, once you eat it, you will obtain a randomize magic.
The Basement floor of the mansion, I placed the magic fruit at the end of the corner which I bought recently.
Celeste also stepped far away, then I was equipped with Leia.
After waiting, the magic fruit hatched into a rogue monster.
Itās a Liquid metal monster, then it immediately took the shape of me.
[Letās go Leia.]Ā (Ryouta)
After Leia spoke with no emotion, we started fighting the Metal Ryouta.
While equipping Leia, arms were stretched out from the protector guard.
I then fired Repetition at the monster who can copy 80% of the targeted person.
The reason why I equipped Leia is because I wanted to see whether it would copy the arms as well, which it did, and itās not that I want Leia to fight.
Since the results were obtained, I killed it with Repetition.
Then the Metal Ryouta dropped another magic fruit.
Originally thereās a star on top of the fruit, but after defeating the rogue monster, the star turned into 2 stars.
After retrieving the magic fruit, I asked Leia to return to her human form.
Then I handed the magic fruit to her.
[Try eating it.]Ā (Ryouta)
Leia obediently ate the magic fruit.
Her expressionless way of eating the magic fruit was kinda surreal.
[I have learnt two new magic.]Ā (Leia)
Celeste and I looked at each other, and nodded simultaneously.
So it seems that even Leia could learn magic after eating the magic fruit.
[What kind of magic can you use Leia.]Ā (Ryouta)
[I canāt use it.]Ā (Leia)
[The magic that Iāve learned are Inferno and Raging Mist. Both Magic requires me to use MP, but because of my MP being at F, I cannot use it.](Leia)
[Thatās right, if your MP is at F, you practically canāt use any of the magic spells out there.]Ā (Celeste)
Again Celeste and I looked at each other, this time both of us could see the colour of disappointment in each of us.
When you eat the magic fruit, your max level will permanently drop by one.
That kind of demerit has no use for me and Leia, where our highest level is already at 1. Hence why we could take the magic fruit without any consequences.
However, the problem with this is that magic needs MP to cast.
If your entire status is at F, thereās really no good way to use it.
[I thought it would work.]Ā (Celeste)
[ā¦.No, it might just work.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Before she learns a basic magic, weāll let her eat as many magic fruits as she can.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Wait a minute Ryouta-san, 1 magic fruit right now is worth 2 million Piros, and youāll learn a random magic, so itās like throwing 2 million Piros away.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Celeste, let me teach you a good phrase. My colleague said it back in the day.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Wh, what could it beā¦.]Ā (Celeste)
Celeste tensed up, and then I told her.
[Before you pull a gacha, the probability of it getting is always 100%.](Ryouta)Ā (TLN: Iām not entirely sure whether itās this meaning, or itās the gacha logic as in āAs long as itās 1%, if I pull 100 times, Iāll surely get it!ā kind?)
[Isnāt that just what a useless human would think!?]Ā (Celeste)
Going through the words of Celeste, I once again went out and bought another magic fruit.
For the second magic fruit, I hatched it into a rogue monster, and instantly kill it with Repetition.
Then the magic fruit that dropped, I let Leia eat it.
[I have learned two magics.]Ā (Leia)
[How about now?]Ā (Ryouta)
[Endć»Ofć»Calamity.]Ā (Leia)
[That sounds like an extremely strong magic! But it sounds like you canāt use it as well.]Ā (Ryouta)
[How about the other one?]Ā (Ryouta)
[Revive..so a resurrection magic? That sounds like a strong magic as well, and Iām sure you canāt use it as well.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Ryouta-sanā¦..]Ā (Celeste)
Celeste who was looking over me showed a complicated expression.
A 2 million piro gacha, thrown out of the windowāāit was that sort of complicated expression she was showing.
Leaving that expression aside, I continued pulling.
Now for the next magic fruitā-was what I wanted to do when suddenly.
[I can use Revive.]Ā (Leia)
After Leia said that, both Celeste and I were shocked.
[You can use it? I thought Revive was an extremely powerful magic?](Ryouta)
[Whatās wrong Leia?]Ā (Ryouta)
[I just remember the details of Revive. If thatās the case then she indeed can use it.]Ā (Celeste)
[Yeap. Itās what people call a Trash Magic. Normally itās the most useless out of every other useless magic.]Ā (Celeste)
[ā¦..Normally?]Ā (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded, then asked me to wait for a bit as she went upstairs, then come back down immediately.
For some reason she brought a carrot with her.
Then she handed the carrot to Leia.
[Try using Revive on this carrot.]Ā (Celeste)
After receiving the carrot, she used the magic as ordered.
It was not a joke, it was instant.
The Carrotā¦..hatched into a Drowsy Slime.
[Revive, meaning to resurrect a monster, to turn a drop item into a rogue monster.]Ā (Celeste)
[ā¦.So thatās why itās called a Trash Magic.]Ā (Ryouta)
This magic really has no use in this world.
The only thing I could think of is it being used during the Harvest Festival.
Thus, I understood the reason it was called a Trash Magic.
[Itās plenty useful for Ryouta-san.]Ā (Celeste)
[Yeap. You did well Leia.]Ā (Ryouta)
[ā¦.All I did was eat the magic fruit.]Ā (Leia)
[Nonetheless, Leia youāre amazing.]Ā (Ryouta)
Leia nodded with a complicated face, but it was a slightly unnatural look.
A magic that hatches dropped items into rogue monster, Revive.
As Celeste mentioned, it is a tremendous magic that benefits me.
