“Ugh. . .!”

ㅤ

After paying the fee of 80 gold coins (I don’t know if this is expensive or cheap),

I finish the contract by pouring the magic power of Automata into a strange pattern (apparently a slave mark) carved on the chest of the half-elf slave, Leif, that I purchased.

It seems that a considerable amount of pain runs through Leif at this moment, and Leif seemed to be in pain.

ㅤ

And now that I think about it, wouldn’t it have been a disaster if this were the typical fantasy scenario where a contract requires blood?

After all, Automata neither have blood nor tears.

. . .Well, anyway, the contract has been successfully completed this time, so it’s safe.

From now on, I will be more careful.

ㅤ

“Thank you very much. We look forward to your next visit.”

ㅤ

And so, after the slave traders bowed to see me off at the end, I took Leif out of the store.

Checking on Leif, who was anxiously following me through the monitor, I headed straight to an inn that seemed to be well soundproofed.

It’s time for some fun.

ㅤ

“Well then.”

ㅤ

After entering a room for two, I deliberately muttered from the Automata’s mouth, letting Leif know that something was about to start.

Leif shivered in fear.

If you’re a shotacon or a lolicon, you might find this gesture cute.

But it doesn’t matter to me.

ㅤ

Then, I took off the mask of Automata.

ㅤ

I thought that he would feel more motivated to do this with a beautiful girl rather than a creepy guy wearing a mask.

Sure enough, after being taken aback, Leif turned bright red.

Even though small, he’s a man after all.

ㅤ

“Sit there.”

ㅤ

Automata pointed at the bed.

ㅤ

“Yes. . .”

ㅤ

Leif, somewhat tense, sat on the bed.

Now, shall we begin?

ㅤ

“So, from now on. . .”

ㅤ

Hearing those words, Leif, blushing intensely, closed his eyes.

. . .Isn’t this a misunderstanding?

This is the reaction of a maiden before she’s attacked.

Aren’t you a man, Leif?

Anyway, I need to correct that misunderstanding.

ㅤ

“I’m going to ask various questions, so answer honestly.”

“. . .Huh?”

ㅤ

When I stated my request, Leif made a bewildered face.

Apparently, there was a misunderstanding.

Did he think we were going to do something erotic?

That’s the thing I hate most in the world.

ㅤ

“I’m going to ask various questions, so answer honestly.”

“Ah, yes.”

ㅤ

When I said the important thing twice, it seemed that Leif finally understood my intention and calmed down.

The maiden’s atmosphere before being attacked is gone.

Yeah.

That’s good.

ㅤ

Now, what should I ask first?

There are too many things I want to ask, and I’m a little worried.

Let’s see. . .Let’s start with the easy ones.

ㅤ

“How can I learn magic?”

“Huh?”

“Tell me.”

ㅤ

Leif is still bewildered.

. . .From this reaction, is the way to learn magic common knowledge that everyone knows?

If that’s the case, it’s good that I didn’t ask someone awkwardly.

But it’s fine to be suspicious of a slave.

Come on, source of information, do your job.

ㅤ

“Well, you can learn magic by reading a book called [Magic Book].”

ㅤ

I see.

ㅤ

“Explain in more detail.”

“U, Understood.

In the Magic Book, there are descriptions of various magic effects and the [Chanting] required to use the magic, and when you read them out, the magic is activated.

If you activate the magic many times in this way, you will be able to remember the magic skill.

Once you reach that point, you can use the magic that matches your skill Lv without chanting.”

“. . .I see.”

ㅤ

In other words, to learn magic, you need an item called Magic Book.

That was a blind spot.

I thought it was something like training to remember.

I see.

It’s an item.

ㅤ

I quickly search for a list of items that can be issued with DP.

. . .I found a Magic Book.

It’s classified as [Book of Basic Fire Magic] and [Book of Basic Water Magic].

I wish I had noticed this sooner.

ㅤ

“Ah, but learning magic skills is very difficult. Even for those with talent, it’s normal for it to take years to learn just one magic skill.”

ㅤ

With that, the hand I had poised to purchase several magic books froze.

I see.

It takes time to learn.

Well, thinking about it, it makes sense.

If it was easy to learn, there would be more intruders with magic skills.

ㅤ

Hm?

Speaking of which, how did the goblins learn magic?

Did they read magic books they obtained as spoils when they raided villages or something?

That seems plausible.

So, are there enough magic books that goblins can easily get their hands on?

ㅤ

“Are those magic books rare?”

“Yes. Well, somewhat. But I think there’s usually one in most settlements.”

ㅤ

Really?

I wonder if there was one in Maya Village, which I burned down.

I might have done better to search houses more seriously.

But, well, now that I know how to learn magic, it doesn’t really matter.

I didn’t want to spend too much time back then.

ㅤ

I guess that’s enough questions about magic for now.

If I don’t understand something later, I’ll ask this guy.

ㅤ

“Then, the next question.”

Next, I moved on to the next question.

It’s already noon, I’m sleepy because I’ve been up since last night, and I just want to ask what I really need to know and go to sleep early.
