The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 62: Fairy Escort

I think Im starting to get it. Im starting to come up with ideas about how to do this

Yeah, I see. But for me, Id like to see less mistakes, or at least only as many as you can eat.

Sorry about that..

Some of them are charcoal inside. Even Miss Reyes was choking on her food.

I saw it. I was there.

She said she didnt want to throw it away. She must be in need of money.

The sight of the saint chewing the charred flesh with tears in her eyes, though expressionless, was a sobering one.

The herbs she was growing should be ready to harvest soon, but not yet.

In other words, she has no income yet.

I wondered what kind of life the saint was leading at the moment.

Ill leave it at that for now.

Today, Hank has been working on making bacon since this morning, and Kunon is checking the records that Hank has been keeping.

It looks like its almost done.

Is it?

While checking some of the smoked meat that had already been finished along with the records, Kunon nodded at the quality of the work.

It will be completed when Kunon accepts it.

But when this happens, Im more interested in you.

Hank would rather make bacon that he is happy with than one that Kunon can accept.

Such useless obsessions are sprouting up.

I knew Hank was as good as I thought he was.

It seems that Hanks magicians spirit has finally kicked in.

If there is no request from the outside world, the experiments and researches that a magician does on his own are ultimately to find out what he wants to know and pursue.

I knew this would happen sooner or later, and it was just as Kunon expected.

He thought that if he could use magic as skillfully as Hank, there was no way he wouldnt get into using it.

He thought that he was the same kind of person who liked to manipulate magic in minute detail.

Its okay. You can pursue making bacon until you are satisfied with it. You can make it your hobby. Ill buy the finished product.

Hmmm this is seriously bothering me.

Youve learned to make a smelly fire, right? Now can we make a salty fire?

Salty fire? Whats the point? Whos going to check the taste?

Bacon and other smoked meats are marinated in a kind of liquid to give them a kind of seasoning. Im talking about using a salty fire to add that seasoning.

Oh, Ooh I was surprised at the idea of adding smell to the fire, but can you add taste?

Dont worry. There are no limits to magic.

sounds scary when Kunon says that.

And Kunon, who smiled happily when he said that, was also a little scary, Hank thought.

He felt that even in the literal sense, he and Kunon had different views on magic.

Perhaps this feeling was the difference in rank as a sorcerer.

Well, whatever the case may be, Hanks bacon-making achievement may be near.

We finished making bacon in the morning.

The smoked meat was brought to the school cafeteria every day to be made into sandwiches, which were then served as lunch.

Although it was not specifically agreed upon, the four of us had recently started to eat lunch together in the classroom of the saint.

However, it seems that such a routine will come to an end today and tomorrow.

Hello, Kunon.

Hello.

Hey.

Im here for you, Kunon.

Here I am.

The bill for Kunons inappropriate reply the other day had come due.

A total of about a dozen women from different factions came to visit the saints classroom.

They were standing in front of Kunon with smiles on their faces, hiding as much as they could from the tense, not to say calm, atmosphere.

They were the women from the three factions that had recruited Kunon the other day.

Hello, lovely fairies. As you can see, were having lunch right now. If you have something to do, can we do it after?

No, go now.

Go now.

The only thing unusual about Kunon is that he can wait for the girls with a half-eaten sandwich in his hand, but the rest of us are united in our desire to go quickly.

Normally, I would not be able to remain calm when stared at by ten girls standing there with smiles that speak eloquently.

Even if you couldnt see them, you could at least feel the pressure.

Todays failed bacon is not bad. It doesnt make me nauseous, my body doesnt refuse to swallow it as a foreign object, and the saltiness is good.

But I do like smoked fish meat, too. Maybe you could try smoking fish a little more often?

No, the saint seems to be fine with it.

I wonder if this is another reaction to her lack of emotion.

Fish meat, huh? Fish is also delicious, isnt it? But I can buy it really only once in a while. Its hard to get fresh fish around here because were not very close to the ocean.

I heard that sometimes magicians who go far away bring back frozen seafood to make some extra money. Its hard to get fresh fish except in such cases.

I see. Thats too bad.

What are you talking about in such a calm manner?

In this situation.

Isnt it possible to farm freshwater fish around here?

Hmm, I dont know. But Im sure the magicians at this school have at least tried it. Why dont you look for a report in the library?

Kunon, if you find the report and can make it happen, will you help me then?

Of course. Id be happy to do Miss Reyes a favor.

I dont know why you can talk like this so openly in this situation.

You can talk about it later.

Just get going

In the event that you are a sorcerer, you may not be concerned about the content of the conversation, but Hank and Leeya were uncomfortable anyway, so they just kept their heads down and chewed their sandwiches.

Im so lucky to have so many fairies escorting me around.

Lunch was over.

Kunon was happily taken away, surrounded front to back, left to right, and diagonally by the ten girls who had been waiting for him.

The profile of the girls I saw as they were leaving was far from fairy-like, and they seemed to be boiling with quiet anger.

Now, Im going to go back to make bacon.

I think Im going to practice my flying.

Hank and Leeya decided not to worry about it, because they were afraid of what Kunon would go through if they did.

This is just what Kunon deserves.

But still, whats terrible is terrible, so it cant be helped.

Let me go look for the report too. Its kind of exciting.

The saint was the only one who really didnt seem to care about any of this. 

The men were a little jealous.

Ha this is awesome.

Kunon let out a sigh.

I was surprised by that, but when I saw the magicians gathered in the room I was led to, I was even more surprised and my heart began to pound.

There were nearly fifty magicians there, including the women who had shown me around.

Most of them were young in age, so they must have all been students, and they were of a special class.

and the beings that haunt them.

Kunons crab.

Hanks lizards, Leeyas confetti.

And the halo of the saint, the light of Zeonly.

Ive seen a lot of sorcerers from this school through my business, and Ive found a few rules of thumb.

However, there were some here who betrayed the laws I had determined based on the samples I had collected so far.

The first thing that caught my attention was a demonic-looking woman with long black hair hanging down to cover her face.

And a man who is being held in the mouth with both hands on her face.. floating in the air.

Its a broken law.

Ive never seen a humanoid creature that looks so much like a person.

And then she walked up to me.

Hello. Nice to meet you, Kunon Gurion. My name is Geneviese. Hahaha, but please call me Geneva.

Nice to meet you, Geneva. Is there something wrong with me?

Oh, no. Im sorry, but I cant stop laughing. Its a habit.

Habit .

I wondered if it was because of the girl behind her,

If she thought that she was tying his mouth shut, maybe she was

From here on out, Ill guide you.

Geneviese steps ahead of me.

Kunon follows.

There are nearly fifty sorcerers cracking and watching Kunon go by.

In the center of them, three sorcerers were waiting.

One of them must be the master of this castle.

Another breakdown of the law.

So many samples, its really worthwhile just to be here.

Kunon laughed and bent down to greet them.

Nice to meet you, Im Kunon Gurion. Its a great honor to be here.
