Let’s Find a Weakness
「Master! The weakness of the red slime is water magic! Master might be able to beat the demon if you use water magic! 」
Spica points the red slime which absorbed the fire magic and enlarged.
「I see…」
Yuuto, who receives Spica’s warning, holds out his right hand and casts a spell.
(Water-!!)
Immediately after, water jets out forcefully from Yuuto’s right hand.
Yuuto, who improved control of his magic, adjusted its power to maximum.
「BI-GI-!!」
Scream of death was heard from the red slime which was flooded with water magic and becomes white smoke.
水魔法を浴びたレッドスライムは、モクモクと白煙を上げらながらも断末魔の悲鳴を上げる。
(Gd awful: It’s something about the red slime turning in to a white smoke after dying…. Can’t describe it well…)
Result.
Only the nucleus, which was the thin skin and the centre of the, red slime remained in that place.
Realizing that the battle ended, Yuuto heaves a sigh of relief.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
「I was surprised that master was able to use 《Fire Magic》 too!」
「Impressive! Was milord a 《Duo》 magician which handles 《Fire Magic》 and 《Water Magic》 at the same time? 」
Spica and Sylphia, which watched how the fight went, sent a look of respect to Yuuto.
Because—it’s because a human being in this world can only use one magic attribute.
Human beings which are able to manipulate 2 magic attributes are called Duo, and it is said that there’s only a probability of 1 person out of 10,000 of them being born.
Furthermore–.
A human being, Trinity, which can manipulate 3 attributes are one of a million people.
A human being, Quartet, which can manipulate 4 attributes are one in 100 million people.
The rarity degree increases by a hundred fold each time.
「Aa… Yes… But…」
As for things like this, showing it will probably be faster than describing it.
Yuuto, who judged so, decided to use《Fire Magic》, 《Water Magic》, 《Wind Magic》 and 《Holy Magic》 one after another.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
「「……!?」」
Spica and Sylphia couldn’t believe their eyes.
The reason is because they didn’t expect their master to be a 《Quartet》 magician which is born in just 1 in 100 million.
「It’s wonderful! Master! It’s too wonderful! 」
「…I’m surprised! I did not think that I would be able to meet a 《Quartet》magician while I live. 」
Excitement can be heard from the two’s speech.
「Well, I may not be useful for combat at the moment.」
Yuuto immediately denies Sylphia with a wry slime.
「There is no such things! Fire magic is known to be the most useful in battle among major attributes. Milord’s martial arts are certainly terrific. However, depending on the weakness of the enemy, there will be demons that can be damaged with physical attacks.」
「Weakness… huh…」
I fully realized it in the battle with the red slime a while ago.
Although I wasn’t aware of it at all, it might be necessary to consider it a little from now on.
「Aa, that reminds me. What kind of magic does Sylphia use? 」
「My attribute is 《Wind》. Because magic attributes are often to be inherited from parent… In my case, my whole family has 《Wind Magic》」
I was able to sense an edge of self-mockery from Sylphia’s words.
(God awful: Thanks Unknown and Gawd. :3)
「Is 《Wind Magic》perhaps a weak magic in this world?」
When Yuuto asked, Sylphia nods with consent
「Yes. Wind magic has neither the offensive ability of… fire magic, the versatility of water magic, the convenience of holy magic, or the rarity of curse magic. 」
「ああ。風属性には……炎属性のような攻撃力も、水属性のような汎用性も、聖属性のような利便性も、呪属性のような希少性もないからな」
(God awful: Don’t understand but she’s comparing Wind Magic to the other magic and bashing it as well. Also….. Not sure about the last line, it’s either that one or there’s a curse magic.)
(Aten: reading the translation is seems to be more along the lines of “the rarity of curse magic”
Sylphia then takes out the sword which was placed on her waist.
Soon after, Sylphia swings the sword.
A blade of sharp wind occurred after it.
(This is… the so called sonic boom, huh..?)
The sonic boom, which was shaped like a half-moon, disappeared in the place where it flew which is approximately 7 meters. Power seems to have left Sylphia’s body as to separate from it…
「As can be seen, there isn’t enough power to defeat a demon with a single blow… It’s best to not use it in a 1-on-1 battle.」
「… I see.」
Apparently, Wind magic alone seems to be extremely difficult.
Yuuto, who possesses four kinds of magic, will also voice a complaint when the one and only magic that he’s born with was Wind Magic.
どうやら風魔法はそれ単体では、色々と使いどころが難しいらしい。
4種類の魔法を所持している悠斗ならともかく、生まれ持った魔法が風属性の1種類だけだと不満の1つでも零したくもあるだろう。
(God awful: Second sentence, close enough… English halp.)
「Aa, but won’t wind magic be useful when protecting yourself against firearms?」
Sylphia slowly nodded at my question.
「Certainly… The offensive power is low. Wind magic might be excellent as defense magic. The arrow’s orbit that was shot by an enemy can be changed forcibly.」
「Then there’s no problem. As I said, I was the tank, right? The role of Sylphia was to protect a friend. Wind magic… doesn’t it fit Sylphia? 」
「…!? I see. It can be thought of like that.」
Yuuto’s words sinks to Sylphia’s heart.
「Thank you, milord. For the first time… I was able to think that being given wind magic is good.」
Sylphia had a radiant smile as if evil spirits fell.
シルフィアは憑き物が落ちたかのような晴れやかな笑みを浮かべていた。
(God awful: Yeah, no idea.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then after Yuuto continued to properly hunt slowly.
He decided to finish today’s expedition.
Bat x 8
Red Slime x 8
Blue Slime x 8
It is the number of demons which was subjugated today.
The amount of the subjugation was low as the expedition was made with the purpose of inspection.
The final status is as follows.
Konoe Yuuto
Unique Ability: 【Ability Looting】【Slave Contract】【Demon Eyes】【Transparent】【Alarm Bell】
Magic: Fire Magic Lv3 (22/30)
Water Magic Lv3 (1/30)
Wind Magic Lv3 (20/30)
Holy Magic Lv2 (5/20)
Trait: Fire Resistant Lv3 (1/30)
Water Resistant Lv3 (0/30)
Wind Resistant Lv2 (14/20)
There wasn’t any change that can be seen except from fire resistant and water resistant that rose to 2 to 3.
The reason why the number of subdued demons does not match with the earned experience was because of the examination of the ability looting.
It’s decided that the full-scale money raising starts tomorrow.
Yuuto, who judged so, aimed for the town Expein.
