Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Eh? Isn't it? Is it some other spell? Ice spikes? Send down countless ice spikes to stab the opponent to death?"

Kato Megumi asked curiously.

Seeing Kato Megumi's behavior, Patchouli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time she felt that the little guy was inexplicably cute.

"I always thought you were a smart kid, but I didn't expect you to be a hidden idiot."

"Ms. Witch, this is a personal attack. You know, Hui is smart, how can she be an idiot? If she is an idiot, then Miss Witch who invests in idiots is also a big idiot?"

Kato Megumi asked back.

"Hey!"

A chestnut sounded, and Kato Megumi was reminded of the fear that she once felt when she was dominated by the chestnut sound.

"Slippery-talking little fellow."

Kato Megumi blinked, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes.

"Who made Hui face the cold-blooded witch? Hui had no choice... The poor witch watched a poor girl suffer not long ago, just to train her, she stood by and watched coldly. The world is really going downhill!"

"Oh? So I'm wrong? And is it you who said the idiom like this?"

Kato Kei said as a matter of course.

"of course"

"Hmm... I never thought that a witch like me would be treated as such one day."

Patchouli sighed in mock helplessness.

"In that case, I won't bother you here anymore..."

"Ah! Don't, (..*) I was wrong... Miss Witch, you are the cutest, most beautiful and most generous Miss Witch in the world, I was wrong..."

Kato Megumi quickly dropped her pretense and blocked Patchouli who was pretending to leave.

While apologizing obediently, he rubbed his cheek against it.

Patchouli's body stiffened when she was suddenly touched, and then she helplessly pushed her little face with her little hand.

"Hmm? What's your mistake?"

Patchouli asked knowingly.

"Anyway, I was wrong, Miss Witch, please spare poor Hui!"

"Okay, okay, don't be so quiet. Where's your quiet temperament? Don't be so clingy like a puppy."

Patchouli felt a little uncomfortable with the little guy suddenly rubbing against her and touching her skin.

Kato Megumi didn't care about that. Instead, she used her acting skills and dialogue skills a hundred times better, striving to give a good performance.

After all, she has superb acting skills and can be the heroine of the game and the top star of the game club, Kato Guru Megumi.

What does this little change in personality mean?

You have to know that she has played the role of the childhood sweetheart who became the object of cheating, the classmate who fell in love at first sight on the cherry blossom slope, the fateful encounter in the alley, and many other lines. These are no big deal for Kato Megumi.

Eriri even told him that it would be a shame if he didn't become a voice actor or an actor. Kato Megumi is the all-powerful Kato in the gaming club.

How can a little bit of coquetry and cuteness stop her from hugging thighs and cultivating feelings... No! It's a witty behavior

It’s just that... the cold-hearted witch lady she mentioned turned herself back to her original form.

"Okay, let's get back to business."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 232 Chapter Humans are such a hassle

Patchouli's tone became serious.

"As I said, the magic in this world is not worth mentioning. The inheritance has been cut off. It is normal that you are restricted by your thinking. After all, I never told you this."

"Oh, is that so?"

Kato Megumi blinked.

"Hmm... I remember that you said in the knowledge you showed me that science requires experiments and verification, and also requires divergent thinking. Don't you think that magic is not like this?"

"Although magic is not science, we can develop a system of knowledge that can be tested, explained, and summarized. It has fixed forms and formulas. It varies from person to person and is uncertain. However, it is not as rigid as you think. It is not as lacking as you think. You can only use those spells like apprentices and think you are sitting in a well and looking at the world."

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi pinched the end of her hair, without any embarrassed expression like a teacher scolding a student. Instead, she stared at Patchouli with eyes as bright as stars.

"So those spells are apprentice-level magic! What would apprentice-level magic be like, Miss Witch?"

Kato Megumi stared at Patchouli, her eyes full of interest.

In fact, she had already known from the words of the witch lady that magic in this alien world was extremely scarce.

After all, the magic she used was always some elemental reactions of water, fire, and ice, plus some barriers, shields, etc. It was basically just arranging the energy elements, filling them into models, and combining them into the attack or defense form she wanted. It was not that magical.

If explained scientifically, it is to utilize particles in the air that are invisible to the naked eye, and arrange and manipulate them to a certain extent according to their own properties, so that these elements can produce active and unstable attack magic, or stable and inactive defense magic according to their density, mass structure and mental assistance.

Therefore, Kato Megumi can learn magic so quickly, because unlike the learning method in this world that relies on feel and proficiency, for this kind of spell that can be summarized, she can test, summarize, and predict each time she casts the spell in a targeted manner, just like doing an experiment, and determine the amount that can be controlled each time.

After doing this many times, Kato Megumi easily learned magic quickly and skillfully using this scientific experimental method, and was able to control the amount used.

Of course, this is also due to her strong mental power, which allows her to sense the elements in the air. If it were someone else, this method would probably be ineffective. Kato Hui thought, this is why in the original world, the same teaching would differentiate between geniuses and ordinary people.

In that world, open-mindedness and sharp thinking are the gifts of genius and are things that cannot be quantified. However, in the world of magic, it is very simple and can be learned as long as the mental strength meets the requirements. To a certain extent, people with generally strong mental strength will not have bad thinking. In other words, in the original world, Kato Megumi can also be considered a genius.

Of course, in the field of magic, she actually has talent and can be considered a genius. After all, from the very beginning, her mental power accidentally crossed dimensions once in a world without rules because of Patchouli's advanced magic circle. Although it was just a quick glance at the higher dimension, even unconsciously, it was precisely because of this that she was able to stand out from the crowd in the very beginning. What's more, she had a powerful witch as half a teacher, which also added countless buffs to her talent.

……

……

Patchouli was somewhat relieved about this.

It's just that the magic that the little guy can access is too rare after all. The thinking of the student in front of her is constrained by the attempt, which makes Patchouli sigh.

Magic is different from ordinary human knowledge. There are conditions for learning higher levels. You can't learn it whenever you want. It's like an ordinary person getting dizzy after watching Hui for a long time. Forcing yourself to learn magic that you can't control is tantamount to suicide.

"You are not yet ready to learn now. Your strength is too weak. You should just study these apprentice magics. Even these magics can change the world when they are powerful."

"But I want to see it... At least I want to know how brilliant the destination I can reach is."

It would also let him know how far Miss Witch is from him, and how much effort he would have to put in to catch up with her.

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Patchouli sighed.

"Haven't you seen it before?"

"Eh? I've seen it?"

"Isn't it magic that I can talk to you across countless worlds? Isn't it magic that I can touch a spirit? My existence itself is a powerful magic. What do you want to see?"

Patchouli smiled and looked at Kato Megumi with her purple eyes. She was confused at first, then she realized that Patchouli was cheating, and she puffed her lips with dissatisfaction.

"Miss Witch! Don't be ridiculous! Of course I know these are powerful magics, but I want something that can be more intuitively demonstrated. I want to know how far the gap between you and me is, and how far I am from my goal."

It's like everyone knows that computers are very powerful. They have sophisticated chips and hardware inside, and they are very powerful. However, computers are also an ordinary household appliance in our lives. Although an ordinary person cannot make a computer out of thin air, people have come to a conclusion and their perception will not change, that computers are just very ordinary.

On the contrary, nuclear bombs, which have simple but powerful technical principles, are more awe-inspiring and mysterious in people's minds.

Because people worship power, and humans are visual animals, this pure power has a strong presence in people's eyes.

Although Kato Megumi might think that it was amazing that Miss Witch could project her spirit body across countless small worlds to this side, that kind of amazingness was not an intuitive feeling, and it did not leave a deep impression on people, nor could it produce any substantial judgment.

That's why she said that.

"Even if you say so, I'm still in a dilemma..."

Patchouli let out a long sigh, feeling deeply that children were so willful. She didn't know how humans could tolerate the unreasonable behavior of their own children.

But when she looked up and saw the little guy looking at her with burning eyes, she felt a tingling sensation in her heart. She didn't know how to describe it, but at the same time she couldn't refuse. On the contrary, she felt a vague sense of satisfaction and contentment in her heart because of the other person's gaze. Could it be... is this the feeling of being a teacher?

For the first time, the witch, who does not have many interpersonal relationships, is troubled.

Sure enough, humans are a troublesome race.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 233 Chapter The Intimacy Between Them

"Okay... I'll show you, just this once..."

Patchouli said helplessly, with a hint of doting in her words that she hadn't noticed. She had heard that human teachers would give children a candy or a stick when educating them, and that human friends would also engage in selfless behavior that did not require any benefit or cost.

Patchouli thought that since she already cared about this little guy and there was a bit of a teacher-student relationship between them, then it didn't seem difficult to agree to the other party's request.

Anyway, it wasn't worth mentioning to her.

"Really? Thank you very much."

Kato Megumi laughed excitedly and subconsciously wanted to give the witch a good hug.

However, looking at the person in front of her who was only three inches tall, Kato Megumi still smiled, curved her eyebrows, and offered her cheek.

"Since Miss Witch agreed to my unreasonable request, I will reward you. You can touch and pinch Hui's cheek!"

"Hmm? What did you say, a reward? Do you think I need something like that?"

Patchouli's expression suddenly froze, she was completely confused.

"You were the one who asked me to do this, and I agreed to it with reluctance. Why do I feel like you are treating me like a child? Did you do something wrong?"

"Eh!? Miss Witch, don't you want to pinch me? It's so soft and bouncy~"

Patchouli was a little angry, but before she could say anything, she saw the little guy looking at her with wide eyes in surprise, and then tentatively pinched her cheek.

"Hmm? Don't you really want to pinch the pretty girl's soft little face?"

Looking at her cheek which was gradually turning red under the other person's fingers, Patchouli paused with a serious look on her face.

"Even if you don't give me a reward, I can still pinch you whenever I want... I didn't expect you to be such a narcissistic guy..."

But having said that, Patchouli still came closer reluctantly.

"Since you insist on asking me to do this, I have no choice but to agree to it... Humans are such a hassle."

As the slightly cool fingers gently touched the cheek, Patchouli seemed to have found some fun toy, and her pair of chopstick-sized hands pinched Kato Megumi's cheeks.

At this time, Kato Megumi only felt the coolness on her cheeks, which was very comfortable. Seeing Miss Witch having so much fun, she felt extremely happy.

I don't know what magic the witch cast, but gravity seemed to be reversed on her body. At this moment, she could actually treat her cheeks as a soft warm bed. She stepped lightly on it with her bare feet. Then, her steamed bun-like little feet bounced on her cheeks with a unique warm touch like a massage. That feeling was like gently pressing on Kato Megumi's little heart.

This made Kato Megumi's eyes look at the witch lady even brighter.

"It seems that Miss Witch likes it very much..."

“Ah… ahem, it’s still okay…”

It was then that Patchouli realized that she was not in her bedroom, but in front of the little one. She didn't expect that she would behave in such a childish manner and be obsessed with it. It was absolutely inappropriate.

Patchouli's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she felt as if she had been bewitched.

No! Patchouli's aura suddenly changed from gentle to cold. As a witch, she couldn't control her own behavior, couldn't understand her own behavior, and was bewitched silently. This was simply impossible. Even if she was just a defenseless spirit with only 1% of energy, this was still intolerable for Patchouli, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Thinking of this, Patchouli's gaze towards Kato Megumi became deep. Could it be that the little girl had cast some new magic? She looked at Kato Megumi carefully, and her brows became serious.

Kato Megumi also looked puzzled.

"Miss Witch, what's wrong with you?"

Kato Megumi didn't know why Patchouli suddenly looked at her with such an expression, and couldn't help but ask.

However, Patchouli did not answer her. She suddenly stretched out her hands, and her fingertips drew traces in the air like a dancer. Soon, she frowned and put her index finger on Kato Megumi's forehead.

Kato Megumi only felt a moment of enlightenment, and then her vision shifted to the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Her consciousness was unexpectedly pulled into the sea of ​​​​spirituality. Kato Megumi was a little confused, but soon she saw a huge nebula in front of her, slowly rotating like a giant monster, and she seemed like a tiny grain of sand in the planetary belt inside the nebula, so small and so undetectable.

That feeling was like an ant facing a towering mountain, not worth mentioning at all.

To the extent that Kato Megumi had a feeling that she was not the master of Nebula, but a parasite of the other party. She could not completely control the other party, but the other party could completely control herself!

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi felt cold all over.

"Why have I never thought of checking it out more carefully?"

Since the appearance of the nebula, Kato Megumi has never gone in to check thoroughly. You know, there is a foreign object inside the body. For a magician, the most terrifying thing is the lack of control.

This road is full of twists and turns. The magician's path is like a single-plank bridge that cannot withstand any small hidden dangers, because once they appear, the future may be ruined.

Kato Megumi had heard from Miss Witch that there were often souls pretending to be magic seniors, called Black Finger Grandpas, who possessed magicians and deceived others, and would devour the magician's soul when the time was right.
