The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 82 The other party is no small fry; shared interests or ideals

On the streets of Lyon.

The mulberry tree was holding a large bag in both hands, seemingly freshly picked, still with some remaining branches and leaves, and the pods were curved oval-shaped and yellowish-green.

The large bag almost covered half of Yumu's head, leaving only his eyes visible as he looked out at the street, so that his vision wasn't completely obstructed.

Even so.

Because there were so many of them, the large bag swayed as it walked, causing pedestrians on the street to instinctively avoid it, fearing that the contents might fall and hit them.

along the way.

Many people recognized that Mumu was another owner of the new tavern that was about to open in town, and a young man with a background in the Magic Knights.

People would greet him from time to time, and Mumu would smile and nod in response to each one.

The large bag, which looked like it was wobbling, was actually being steadily supported by the bottom of the wood, so there was no need to worry about it falling.

Momoki's mind wasn't entirely on this.

There were no unexpected issues with the cooperation over there.

Aside from the middle part of the conversation, where Mars attempted a sneak attack but was easily defeated by Mogi with a single, effortless strike, the entire exchange was quite friendly, at least in Mogi's opinion.

To be precise, when the name "Fana" was uttered, Mars was already destined to work with him.

In the Demon Palace, the reason why Miki waited for Asta to use the Demon-Slaying Sword to knock Mars away before using spatial magic to teleport Mars away was because he waited for Asta to do so.

It was to remind Mars of what happened with Fana.

The magic stone embedded in Mars's body, besides granting him the power of fire magic, was also a means for the Diamond Kingdom to control Mars.

Mars completely forgot his memories of his childhood friend Fana due to the influence of the magic stone. However, the sword strike Asta delivers to Mars will destroy the influence on the magic stone.

Mars has been reminded of everything that happened.

This is also the premise for Mumu to subdue Mars; otherwise, Mars would just be a cold and ruthless fighting tool.

of course.

Even so, Mars is not so easy to subdue.

The other party was no small fry; they were the Eight Generals of the Diamond Kingdom, or, to put it more grandly, the highest-ranking people in the country and the strongest at the top of the pyramid.

I want to win over someone like that.

Simply being mysterious won't do any good; in fact, it might even have the opposite effect.

This is something we should learn from Richter.

Richter's ability to win the unwavering loyalty of the members of the White Night Eyes wasn't solely due to his formidable strength, but also to his charismatic personality that inspired hope for the future among them.

Mogi may not have the same personal charisma as Richter, but he knows what Mars cares about most and what he wants most!
To put it bluntly, it's a shared interest; to put it more nicely, it's a shared ideal.

Mars is filled with disgust and anger at the Diamond Kingdom's wanton experimentation and cruel training of children to cultivate warriors, and he wants to change all of this.

Coincidentally.

Miki also felt disgusted by those nobles and royalty.

This is where “cooperation” comes from.

He only needs to maintain the initiative during the process. His replication magic is mysterious to outsiders, and it is impossible to uncover the truth simply through combat.

This is also why Miki reveals her appearance.

Respect for those who are strong and self-confidence.

Mars's grimoire has been modified by him and poses no threat to him. For a mage whose magic is controlled by Yuki, killing Mars would be an easy task.

Faced with this situation, and the secrecy surrounding it, Yu Mu didn't believe he lacked even this much confidence.

Pretending to be weak to outmaneuver others is possible, but if you play the fool for too long, you might actually become a fool. The most typical example is Uchiha Obito, who wanted to destroy the world for a woman. Even after obtaining the power of the Six Paths and using Yin-Yang Release to create the Heart Sword "Ama-no-Numa," it shattered on its own due to his wavering will.

In Yumu's view, this means that if you hide in the shadows for too long, you'll really "become a pig."

at the same time.

After resolving the matter with Mars, Miki made a special trip back to the Demon Palace. He originally thought that since there was no battle with Mars, the Demon Palace would not collapse.

The remaining gold and silver treasures left in the protective palace, even if intended for Asta and his group, turned out to be just like in the anime, having collapsed into ruins.

This made Mumu feel a little amused. After all that, the Clover side had come for nothing. Without a space mage who could store things, even if they could, how much could they take?

He guessed that the collapse of the entire Demon Palace was likely not due to the battle, but rather because Asta destroyed the palace's magical gates, causing the magic that maintained the Demon Palace to fail and leading to its collapse.

Fortunately.

He left spatial coordinates in the treasure palace, and there was still a lot of gold and silver treasure left. He would dig it out and take the money with him when he had time later.

…………

In the newly renovated tavern.

Rebecca, with her younger siblings, was wiping down the newly purchased tables and chairs in the tavern, her face beaming with smiles.

Everything is ready, and the tavern will be open for business soon.

"Sister, what did Brother Mimu do so early in the morning?"

Mar asked curiously.

"I know I know."

Before Rebecca could speak, Luca spoke first:

"I heard from Brother Mimu that a tavern should have its own unique dishes, so I went out to find ingredients to make them."

"what?"

"Can Brother Mogi cook?"

"I don't know."

A constant murmur of discussion arose.

Rebecca couldn't help but smile as she overheard her younger siblings' conversation. At the same time, she was also a little curious about whether Mumu could cook.

Looking around, I saw a well-decorated tavern.

Rebecca felt inexplicably excited. Her dream had always been to open a bar, and now it had come true in a way she never imagined.

The thought that this was a tavern she and Miki Mirai ran together was unbearable.

A strange joy flashed in Rebecca's eyes.

A crisp "ding-a-ling" sound came as the tavern door was pushed open.

Miki walked in carrying a large bag of what looked like pods picked from the wild.

"Brother Yimu is back."

When Mar and the others saw Miki walk in, their faces lit up with surprise and joy. They dropped what they were doing and surrounded him.

Rebecca glanced helplessly at her younger siblings, but quickly followed suit.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

Momo placed the large bag of things in her hand on a dining table and stretched her slightly sore arms.
