Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 180
Return of the fourth person
***---***
When I woke up the next morning after hearing about the Gigawolves from Camilla, my physical condition had mostly recovered.
Maybe the self healing that I had been using until I went to sleep last night had some effect.
So, I decided to do the return work that I couldn't do the other day.
I consulted with the chairman when I visited for the morning greetings, but she wasn't very happy.
"Your complexion has improved, but isn't it better not to overdo it yet?"
"I'm okay now. Volzard will soon be on holiday to welcome the New Year, so I'd like to have as many people as possible return before then and enjoy the New Year holidays slowly."
"I understand how you feel, but why don't you at least take it easy for one more day?"
"Hmm ... I don't think I'll be able to take it easy once I've recovered."
"Mou, Kento can't be helped ..."
Hort, Beatriche's liaison, showed its face when the chairman showed an exasperated expression.
"Wafuu, Goshujin-sama, Klaus-san said he has something to talk about."
"Klaus-san is it? I wonder ... Should I go to the guild?"
"Yeah, he'll be waiting for you in the usual office."
"Alright, tell him I'll be there in a little while."
I stroked Hort's head and asked it to deliver a message.
"Yuika, tell the teachers that I'm going to do the return work."
"Haa ... It can't be helped. Kento is surprisingly stubborn."
"Uuh, I'm sorry."
"But, it's just like Kento to do things not for himself, but for someone else. I'll let the teachers know, so you can take care of Klaus-san's errands."
"Thank you, Yuika."
"Kento ..."
I hugged the chairman tightly.
When I moved to Klaus-san's office, Reese-san and Lau-san were also there.
"Good morning."
"Ohh, come here Kent, come and sit down."
Reese-san and Lau-san sat side by side on the reception sofa, me and Beatriche sat side by side, and Klaus-san sat down on the sofa for one person.
"The reason I asked Kent to come is to receive a nomination request."
"Eh, isn't it better not to go to Bakkenheim now?"
"Well, if it's just to simply deliver iron, I wouldn't mind, but if you're going to work as an S-rank adventurer from now on, I think it would be better to know the villages and topography along the way."
"I see, if I used Reinhardt-tachi as a landmark to move, I wouldn't know what was between Volzard and Bakkenheim."
According to Klaus-san, it took about a week to get from Volzard to Bakkenheim by wagon.
"But, I'm worried about being away from Volzard for a week, and in fact, there's been damage from the Gigawolves in Resenburg, so I'd like to do something about that as well."
"It doesn't matter, you can move if you use your genus as landmarks, right? There should be no problem if you leave one of your genus as a landmark at the party's place."
"Ah, right, that's right. But, then the role of the escort is ..."
"There should be no problem with Lau."
"That's right. If Lau-san is there, it's like I'm going on a sightseeing trip to Bakkenheim."
"Fufufufu ... If that's the case, you can go on a honeymoon with me."
"Uuh, that ... it hurts, Riche, it hurts, my flesh is tearing off."
Today's Reese-san was indoors, so she was dressed in her usual dancer-like costume, and it was poisonous to my eyes.
"Kent-sama, we are in the middle of explaining the nomination request. Please concentrate."
"Y, yeah ... Understood."
"How far have I told you, right, Kent, this is neither a sightseeing trip nor a honeymoon. It's also a trip to make up for your lack of experience as an adventurer."
"My lack of experience ... is it?"
"Listen, Kent, Donovan seems to have told you this before, but you don't have enough experience to be proportional to your rank. In the first place, experience is something that can be acquired by completing a number of requests, but in your case, you were promoted too quickly and your experience hasn't caught up."
"Since you have the qualities to be my companion, it would be a problem for the Headquarters Guild to have you twisted in a strange way. So, on the way to Bakkenheim, I'm thinking of asking Lau to instill the knowledge of an adventurer into you."
As soon as I shifted my gaze from Reese-san to Lau-san, I felt like my hair stood up.
Since a while ago, his posture and smiling expression hadn't changed, but his eyes were serious.
"Houhouhou, it's still a long way off, but it's good, it's good that you're feeling it."
"Umm ... Could you please be gentle with me?"
"Houhouhou, that's a difficult order ... Right, Reese."
"Fufufufu ... Lau, I'll be in trouble if you break him."
"Houhouhou, then I guess there is a better way."
Uwaa ... It's the feeling of a frog being stared at by a snake.
"Ah, right! Reese-san, is it okay if I take one person with me?"
"Hou, even though you have someone like me, are you going to take another girl with you?"
"No, no, the person I want to take is a man of the same age as me."
"What, do you also have thoughts of sodomy?"
"No, no, I don't have that kind of intention. It's not like that, if you don't mind if there's one more person, I thought I'd ask to train him as well ..."
I briefly explained to Reese-san and the others about Takayama since coming to this world and Celia-san's upbringing.
"Hou, for someone with a fire attribute who possesses that kind of talent ... How is it Lau?"
"I can't say anything until I meet him, but if the material is good, it would be fun to hit it and mold them."
"Good, it's none other than Kent's request, so bring him along."
"Thank you very much. Then, I should go invite Takayama as well ..."
"Ah, wait, Kent, we're not done yet."
When I tried to go invite Takayama, Klaus-san stopped me.
"I have one more thing to ask of you."
"Is that another request?"
"Well, that's right. It's after going to Bakkenheim."
"Am I going to do something in Bakkenheim or deliver something?"
"Please escort my daughter and son to Volzard."
"Oh, come to think of it, are they coming back from senior high school?"
"That's right, my eldest son and daughter are graduating, and my second son is coming home. If they hire an escort in Bakkenheim, they will have to pay for the return trip, but they don't need it."
"I see ... I understand. Is it alright if Takayama and I take on the task together?"
"Ah, I don't mind. In exchange, someone of Shuichi's rank can't accept a nomination request, so I'll have that guy accept a normal request."
With that said, Klaus-san grinned from ear to ear.
The price of a nomination request and a normal escort request must be quite different."
"Haa, Underst ..."
"No, Kent-sama."
"Ehh, Riche?"
Beatriche interrupted my words and turned to face Klaus-san.
"I will accept this request as a nomination request to Kent-sama. On top of that, Kent-sama will hire Shuichi-san as an assistant."
"Riche ... You."
"Father, I am Kent-sama's secretary, so it is only natural for me to help him accept the request at a fair price."
Yup, yup, my future wife is really talented.
"So, is that all right? Father-in-law-san."
"Kuh, it can't be helped ... This time, I'll make a nomination request to give face to Riche."
"Thank you very much. Mart, can you look for Takayama for a moment?"
"Wafuu, leave it to me, Goshujin-sama."
While we were having a more detailed meeting about things like the price conditions and the schedule to Bakkenheim, I asked Mart to look for Takayama.
The departure was tomorrow morning, and we were scheduled to arrive at Bakkenheim four days later in the evening.
The way to move was to ride in a carriage pulled by Bran the Gigawolf.
In the case of a carriage, it took a lot of time because there were transfers and running errands along the way.
Bran was stronger than a horse and had more endurance, so he could arrive much faster than a normal carriage.
On the way back, we planned to ride in the carriage of the Feudal Lord's house and return to Volzard in about six days.
Well, in my case, it was possible to move to another location while leaving my genus as a landmark, and in fact, I'd like to subjugate the Gigawolves and return home if possible.
After finishing the meeting and before returning to work, I stopped by the boarding house and told Amanda-san that I would be away for about 10 days due to a nomination request, and moved to invite Takayama.
Takayama was sweating at the ramparts construction site today, so I called out to him when he was free.
"Takayama! Do you have a moment?"
"Oh, Kokubu, what do you need?"
"Let's go to Bakkenheim."
"Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden, you."
"Maa, that's the normal reaction, isn't it. Actually ..."
I told Takayama about the details of the meeting up until now.
"The escort target is the Master of the Headquarters Guild, so there's no loss in selling your face. It would be useful to see the state of towns other than Volzard later on, and the escort targets on the way back are Klaus-san's son and daughter, and the eldest son will one day succeed Klaus-san, so I don't think there's any loss in selling your face there, either. So, are you coming?"

"Of course, it's obvious I'll go."
"Then, we'll meet in front of the guild at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Get ready and don't be late."
"Alright ... But, what should I prepare?"
I was casually asked by Takayama, but I didn't know how to answer.
"Ehh, umm ... I wonder what you need."
"Hey, and you call yourself an S-rank adventurer."
"Iyaa, you're making me embarrassed ..."
"I'm not praising you! What are you going to do?"
"No, in my case, I can go back and pick things up any time, and I have various things in the shadow storage, so I don't need to prepare anything."
"Uwaa, it's a cheat ... You, you're cheating."
"Takayama, who had been enjoying delicious food in Lastock, are you really qualified to say that?"
"Uuh, that may not be the case, but ..."
"Well, just bring a change of clothes for now. I'll prepare other things."
"Seriously, I'm sorry ... I'll be indebted to you."
"Takayama really needs to take care of himself ... I'm really worried about being a Papa and so on."
"Uuh, it's annoying. I'm doing my best, even with this."
"Yes, yes, then tomorrow you can't be late. Don't flirt with Celia-san until midnight."
"I know. Well, the house is small, so I can't do that."
"Hmm ... Is that so. Then, you'll have to make more money and move to a bigger house."
"Damn, someday I'll make a lot of money and pay back the debt along with a noshi."(TN:Noshi is a long, thin strip of dried abalone in folded patterned paper, attached to a gift.)
"Yes, yes, then don't be late."
Takayama readily gave the OK, so let's finish the return work quickly.
When I took out my smartphone from the shadow storage and called Suzuki-san to confirm, I got a reply that they were ready to accept the returnee at any time.
"Kokubu-san, are you okay? I'm worried that rushing the return now will affect your work later."
"Yes, I'm fine, so please don't worry too much and wait."
"If Kokubu-san says so, I will leave the judgment to you."
When I hung up and moved to the garrison's quarters, Katou-sensei was waiting impatiently.
"I'm sorry, Sensei, it was a little long."
"No, it's okay. The student who is going to return is waiting in the girls' dormitory. It's really cold to wait outside."
Today, the sky was covered with dull clouds, and it felt cold because there was no warmth from the sun.
When Katou-sensei called out to the girls' dormitory, Senzaki-sensei, Ayako-sensei, and several female students came out.(TN:I guess Senzaki is actually female then? I still haven't seen it written either way for sure.)
At the center of the schoolgirls was a petite girl who was being teased for some reason, I thought it was the child that was planned to be sent back, but we've never been in the same class, so I didn't know her name.
The chairman and Manon were waiting in front of the clinic as the group headed to the training grounds.
Had they been waiting all this time in this cold weather?
"Aren't both Yuika and Manon cold waiting outside?"
"No, we just came out, so it's okay."
"Yeah, I asked Hurt to let me know when Kent and the others left the dormitory."
I see ... Come to think of it, I didn't know if the shadow space was hot or cold.
Mart and the others said it smelled like me, so I wondered what was going on.
When we moved to the training grounds, the one who began using magic to reduce her magical power was the petite girl who was surrounded by everyone.
Harukawa Sanae-san had her shoulder-length hair tied up on both sides, and she seemed to be somewhat similar to Ayako-sensei.
She shot wind-attribute magic towards the sky, and the girls around her were cheering her on every time she did so, it seemed she was the type that couldn't be left alone.
While Harukawa-san reduced her magical powers, I told the chairman and Manon about the nomination request.
"Then, we won't be able to see Kent for a while?"
"Nope, I want to proceed with the return as fast as possible, so I asked for their consent to come back halfway through."
"Kento can come back, but Takayama-kun can't come back, right?"
"That's right. Takayama will not be able to come back for about ten days."
"In the meantime, will Celia-san be okay?"
"Ah, now that you mention it ... will she be okay?"
"Mou, Kento is too sweet."
"Uuh, I'm sorry. But, what should I do, if I start the return work after this, I probably won't be able to afford to follow up with Celia-san."
"Leave it to us! I'll call out to Celia-san-tachi instead of Kent."
"Thank you, if you need money or something, please contact me via Kobold and I'll reimburse it."
It was very helpful to have someone who could help me with what I was lacking.
I decided to ask Manon to follow up with Celia-san and Flosche-san while Takayama was away.
Also, just in case, I planned to dispatch a security guard from the Kobold Corps.
Let's be prepared to send reinforcements, including Zae-tachi, should something happen.
"Kokubu, are you ready now?"
"Ahh, yes, I'm going now."
When Katou-sensei called out to me and I returned, Harukawa-san was sitting on the seat that had been prepared for her.
She seemed to have used a lot of magic, and despite the cold weather, her forehead was sweaty and she was breathing heavily.
"Umm, is it okay if I start?"
"Yesh, it's my f, f, first time, so please take care of me ... Ahh, I said it ..."
When I sat down on the seat, Harukawa-san twitched and then her face turned bright red.
The first time, it's not about returning, it's about kissing.
"I'm sorry. There is no other way at this point, for me to be the first ..."
"N, no, it's fine. I'm rather lucky ... Hawawawa, n, no, I'm not lucky, it's as I wanted ... not that ... Umm, umm, I, I like you!"(TN:Suki desu.)
"Ehh?"
The girls who were accompanying her let out shrill voices, and Harukawa-san was so red that I was worried that her blood vessels might burst.
I felt like there was something going on, but the chairman and Manon were giving me cold stares, and I felt like it was wise not to go deeper than this.
"O, okay, let's get started."
"Yes ..."
When I put my hand on the shoulder of Harukawa-san, who turned her face upward a little and closed her eyes, her body shook with a shock as if she had been electrocuted.
When I put my lips on top of hers and started sucking out the magical power inside her body, Harukawa-san gripped my jacket tightly.
"Nn! ... Nnu! ..."
This was the third time I sucked out magical power of a different attribute, but it still took time if it was an attribute I didn't have.
In the case of Oda-sensei, that I didn't even want to remember, I was able to finish it in about 30 seconds, but this time it only progressed about 80% even after over 5 minutes.
And then, as expected, my head was wobbly and I was sweating cold sweat.
"Nnnn! ... Unnnn! ..."
Harukawa-san's trembling increased as the sucking progressed.
She hugged me with all her strength, to the extent that I wondered where such power could be found in such a tiny body, and I even felt suffocated.
"Nn ~ ! ... Nn ~~ ! , Nn! Uuunn!!"
After completely sucking out her magical power and taking her attribute, Harukawa-san limply relaxed her grip.
Finally, with granting her a little bit of my magic, I released her lips.
"Nna ... This is really hard ..."
"Ah ... Kokubu-kun ..."
I felt sorry for Harukawa-san, who was exhausted and had an ecstatic expression, but I had a terrible headache and was nauseous.
My head was wobbly, and it seemed difficult for me to carry even the small Harukawa-san, let alone hold her.
"Reinhardt, Harukawa-san, please."
[ As you wish. ]
"Kento, after you send Harukawa-san, come back here."
"Kent, you can't go to the Devil's Forest."
After nodding at the chairman and Manon's words, I put out a shield of darkness and dived into the shadows.
When I moved to the garrison, a nurse was waiting in addition to Suzuki-san.
"The fourth person, Harukawa-san. I'm counting on you."
"I will definitely take care of her. Please leave the rest to me."
I nodded back to Suzuki-san and returned to the shadow space with Reinhardt.
I didn't want others to see me in too much pain, so I was a little hesitant, but I made a promise, so I returned to the garrison training ground.
"Kento!"
"Kent, hold on!"
"Ugeeeeee ..."
I restrained the chairman and Manon who were running up to me, vomited up everything in my stomach, and crouched down and writhed around.
As I continued to vomit, I lost consciousness.
After all, it seemed that acquiring an attribute that you don't have is an act that puts a lot of strain on your body.
