Swordmaster of the Red Light District

growth (5)

After returning to the Countess, Rey continued to be busy.

Quite a bit of time was wasted to correct the cluttered atmosphere of the nursery and check the growth of the children.

After a busy day as usual, Ray came home a little late.

“…?”

Ray frowned slightly.

Today was Bella’s day off from work, and conversations could be heard from inside the house.

“Mom, are you a visitor?”

The moment Ray opened the door without thinking and entered, Karen’s gaze met perfectly.

A necklace with golden jewels fluttered from Karen’s neck.

Karen checked Rey’s face and ran straight to Rey’s arms.

“Ray is here!”

“…why are you leaving my house?”

Bella came out of the kitchen and answered Ray’s questions.

“I told you to stay.”

“…Mom?”

“Yes. Have you eaten?”

“Uh… I’ve been eating.”

“Then I’ll peel some apples, so eat some of that.”

Karen, who was listening to the story, raised her hand.

“I’ll cut it!”

Karen has been hard at work learning how to handle a knife in the kitchen.

Bella nodded at Karen’s confident attitude.

“Then shall I leave it to you?”

Karen walked away from Rey and quickly headed to the kitchen.

Rey looked at Bella with a puzzled face.

Occasionally, guests were brought into the house, but Bella would always take them out before the sun went down.

“What’s wrong, Mom?”

“Ummm…”

Bella frowned as if she was trying to hold back her drowsiness, and soon began to laugh.

“The necklace was beautiful.”

“…?”

“Is it the necklace you gave me?”

“right?”

Bella’s laughter grew louder.

“I met Karen on the way home this morning.”

Karen acted as if she had met Bella by accident, but Bella knew for a long time that Karen had been wandering around ‘Evening in Lilacs’.

As Karen and Bella were walking down the street, she noticed, and soon took out the necklace and started chattering that it was a necklace that Rey had given her.

“It’s an expensive item, so I can’t show it off to others, and bragging about it to my peers only causes discord, so I guess he came to me after looking for someone to brag about. So I brought it home to show off to my heart’s content.”

Back home, Bella couldn’t sleep and talked with Karen about Rey for hours.

Karen said that Rey was smarter, stronger, and kinder than anyone else.

That’s why I love you so much,” he added, blushing.

Bella was delighted to have a child who loved her son so much.

“He said it’s no use raising a son. Why don’t you throw some ugly medicines at your mother and buy a cute girl that pretty necklace?”

“No, Mom, why are you jealous of a thirteen-year-old kid?”

Bella asked with a smile.

“So, daughter-in-law?”

“Haha, well.”

Rey leaned her back on the chair and shrugged.

“How do you know if you will fall in love with another man and run away when your hair grows a little thicker?”

“Oh my, was there a man better than our son around here?”

“If that’s the case, isn’t it even possible to search the zodiac?”

Bella burst out laughing again at the clever answer.

Rey looked at Bella and sighed a little.

‘Daughter-in-law…’

Ray had no intention of forming a relationship with anyone.

I didn’t get close to this damn world, and I didn’t think it would be any better if I made a living than that.

What woman likes a husband who is going to get lost early.

‘…do you want to like it?’

If you browse the internet in your past life, you will find articles that say that you should get rid of your husband sooner rather than later.

As Rey was laughing, Karen brought a plate full of freshly sliced apples from the kitchen.

Carefully putting down the apple plate, Karen noticed that she pulled a chair next to Rey and sat down.

Rey looked at Karen’s neck.

The necklace, which had been exposed outside of his clothes for a long time, was shining in the light.

‘It’s pretty.’

It was definitely a pretty necklace.

I liked it even more because it has a decent design compared to the accessories of this world.

After Rey chewed on a slice of the apple, she opened her mouth abruptly.

“Karen.”

“Yes…?”

To Karen, who was very nervous, Rey said calmly.

“Work hard. When the opportunity arises, study hard, learn swordsmanship hard, and make a lot of friends.”

“Uh… huh? Got it!”

Karen nodded her head.

Rey ate the apple again without saying a word.

Slowly, he was catching up with Karen’s eye level.

I was not picky eaters, I had to eat this and that hard.

Lopilen looked at Luna, who was sitting opposite her with a desk in between, and chewed her lips.

After starting magic education to Luna in earnest, Lopilen had a lot of cold sweat days.

If you are facing Luna, you will feel uncomfortable and your heart will beat faster.

Lopilen initially thought she was jealous of Luna’s talent.

It wasn’t.

Lopilen was afraid of Luna’s talent.

‘What the hell…’

All wizards initially have one circle.

And by dividing one circle that rotates the heart, the number of rings increases.

As the number of circles increases, higher-order mana calculations become possible, and thus more powerful magic can be expressed.

The classification of magic is also based on circles.

For example, ‘six circle magic’ refers to magic that can be manifested only when there are at least six circles.

You cannot extend circles indefinitely.

It took a long time for even the most talented wizards to stably maintain and utilize the divided circles, and as the number of circles increased, the burden became enormous.

The 9th circle is considered to be the end that humans can reach.

This was the reason why the number of Archmage who had reached that supreme state was counted on one hand.

‘But this kid…’

Luna’s circle performance was far superior to that of ordinary wizards.

With just one circle, the magic equivalent of two circles could be perfectly implemented.

This was truly an unbelievable perk.

‘That’s not the end.’

The legacy left behind by Lisilote.

Strange mathematical knowledge with a paradigm ahead of the imperial horse tower.

and an incomprehensible level of comprehension and computational power.

Luna had it all.

Lopilen was sure.

Even if Luna became 3rd circle, if she had enough time and support, she would be able to implement even a limited amount of anti-magic.

‘This kid is going to be a monster…’

If Luna fully blossomed her talent, even if it was Harcia in her prime, it was questionable whether she would be a competitor.

Lopilen’s fingers trembled thinly.

The fact that the seeds of irresistible disaster are blooming with my own hands.

It made Lopilen more and more afraid.

Lopilen asked impulsively.

“Luna, you… What’s your dream?”

Whatever Luna longs for, the world will not be able to stop her.

Lopilen squeezed her pounding chest and waited for Luna’s answer.

Luna slowly opened her mouth.

“…a good wizard.”

“…?”

Lopilen blinked and asked again.

“What’s your dream?”

“A good wizard.”

Lopilen pondered for a moment.

Was the adjective good enough to come before the noun wizard?

Lopilen tilted her head and asked with a questionable face.

“Uh… Why?”

“…”

Luna quietly closed her eyes.

The landscape of someday covers the blackened vision.

Luna was able to save the memories she wanted to leave behind.

That’s why Luna still looked back at the memories of those days every night.

The day it rained.

Or the day when a hundred dark spirits covered the forest.

A boy staggers, bleeding between the ruptured joints.

The sight of stroking the hair of a crying girl trembling in fear.

The girl asked the boy why he was trying to save me.

Then the boy replied with a giggle.

you are a good kid

You will become a good and great wizard.

So later, I said I was going to get some rice cakes from you.

The girl also knows that the back story is a lie.

The boy only wanted the girl to be a good and good wizard.

So Luna decided to become a good wizard.

If you work hard, one day you will become a great wizard.

Therefore, Luna’s dream was to be a good and good wizard.

It was just that.

Luna muttered with her eyes closed.

“…I’m going to be a good, good wizard.”

The girl’s maddening blindness, Lopilen was able to read it without difficulty.

“indeed…”

Lopilen laughed.

Indeed, the child in front of him was a natural magician.

Blindness was the most important quality of a wizard.

“I hope that dream will come true.”

Lopilen got up from her seat and cleared the desk.

No matter what kind of existence Luna would become in the future, it was a problem that Rey, that is, Harcia, had to solve.

Lopilen just had to do her job.

“Luna, I’ll teach you how to use the subspace coordinates you received from Rey.”

Lopilen had already told Ray what a lisilote record was.

Lopilen was going to teach Luna how to access the Liclotte Records today.

At first, I thought it was too early, but I was convinced that Luna’s talent would not be overwhelmed even if she experienced ‘extreme’.

“The principle is simple. Using a barrier, the information engraved in the subspace is implemented in front of your eyes.”

Luna nodded her head.

It was difficult to engrave information in the subspace, and the creation and maintenance of a simple barrier could be accomplished with just one or two circles.

Luna followed Lopilen’s guidance and spread the barrier.

After Lopilen checked Luna’s barrier, she fell.

“Now, try accessing the coordinates Ray gave you.”

Whoops!

Luna’s vision changed completely.

“…?”

Luna looked down at herself.

Contrary to what I had heard before, I was able to fully feel the sensations of my body.

Luna was puzzled and looked around.

A sparkling black space filled my vision.

Luna was standing in the middle of the starry universe.

“Hello~ Nice to meet you.”

Luna turned her head to where the voice was heard.

A girl with long blonde hair was standing in the air.

“Ah! Don’t answer me. I’m not a thought or programmed data, I’m more of a recorded video. Communication is impossible, so all you have to do is keep your mouth shut and listen.”

The girl who looked around Luna continued.

“I hope that Harsia’s successor has picked the right one. All I can give is worthless to an idiot. But… if you’re really fit for my successor…”

Beep!

A planet flashes red through black space.

Focusing on a planet that has land and sea, where Luna’s face is inhabited by everyone who knows her face.

In an instant, countless numbers begin to cover the universe.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Asteroids, moons, planets and burning giants.

Their positions and orbits change into numbers and cover the universe.

“A map of the universe created by observing and analyzing over hundreds of years of obelisks. I hope your talents are sufficient. It depends on how you use it…”

The girl’s lips, who met Luna’s eyes, twisted with ecstasy.

“The ability to destroy a city, a country, a continent, and the lives of all who live on the ground…”

Because it is the power of the stars .
