Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Your Majesty, you have done me a great favor. I have persisted for so long and now I am relieved. I am tired. Now the temple is thriving and my wish has been fulfilled. Now I just want to watch the temple go on peacefully and don't want to shoulder those responsibilities anymore."

After all, she has been guarding for so long that she really doesn't have the energy or the desire to shoulder everything again.

Seeing Anna's serious expression, and considering that she was a priest and did not have enough management capabilities to deal with the future development of the temple, Kato Megumi gave up the idea of ​​letting Anna manage it and decided to leave it all to Clina.

As her bodyguard, Kelina from the main temple and a Knight of Judgment, her abilities and knowledge must be much better than Anna's, so it would be the best thing to let her be in charge.

After comforting Krina and giving her some small gifts that could be used without magic, Kato Megumi felt that everything had been explained.

Although she was leaving, she didn't want to have a sad farewell party. The vague rejection she felt in herself was becoming more and more serious.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 243 Chapter Leaving and Eriri's Tears

There is an isolated barrier in a courtyard of the temple, where grows the mutated tea tree with the power of fusion that Kato Megumi had created before.

Because of the sale of tea, Alyssa used these teas to exchange for many resources that Kato Megumi wanted to exchange from the nobles, and the efficacy of the tea itself was also highly praised, gaining the love and covetousness of many people.

After all, treasures that can improve and restore talents are so rare, and a portion of tea can do all of this. Although the effect is a bit limited, it is enough.

Therefore, as soon as tea appeared in front of various forces, it was like a volcanic eruption, continuous earthquakes, and huge waves, which immediately attracted everyone's attention to the city of Luoha.

It was only at this time that they discovered that the city of Luoha was changing with each passing day, with tremendous changes and many new things appearing.

While they were surprised, they also sent people to inquire about the news. This is also one of the reasons why there are more and more people coming to Luoha City recently.

If you knew how tea leaves are made and could get your hands on it, wouldn’t that be great?

Some people entered the city with this idea in mind, but soon the news they received made them sigh in despair and return empty-handed.

The owner of the tea is the saint of the temple, and with the temple being the power behind it, how could they possibly let them get the tea!

However, since it is impossible to get it, she can only buy it through normal transactions. As a result, the sales of tea have exploded recently, and the money and resources obtained have also been continuous. As a result, a corner in Kato Megumi's space is filled with magic resources and gold coins.

At this time, Kato Megumi was about to leave, and the tea trees that produced tea naturally could not be moved rashly.

Kato Hui did not intend to take away the hundreds of tea leaves that could not be branched again, but left them here as the foundation of the temple to maintain the development of the temple.

Of course, she also gave a few plants to Dorothy, Alyssa and others as gifts.

As for the mutant tea tree that possesses the power of fusion and can bear fruit, Kato Megumi thought about it and decided to leave it in the temple, and she broke off a branch and took it away. After all, it was easy to suffer fatal injuries that were difficult to recover from during a battle. Leaving the mutant tea tree behind would at least allow them to recover with its fruit if they encountered such a thing.

After all, only I can create such a mutated tea tree, and once I take it away, there will never be another one.

Although it is difficult for him to produce another one with his current strength, but with a branch, he can use the power of fusion to slowly cultivate it, replenish the origin, and plant another one. This is the best of both worlds. Although it will take a lot of time, it is beneficial to both parties. This is also the trump card left for Klina.

The sale of tea is still handed over to Alyssa. After this period of time, I think she has become proficient in it.

"I...I have almost finished explaining everything, so I will leave now."

Kato Megumi suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, when was it..."

"Tomorrow!" Kato Megumi tilted her head. "Tomorrow the weather will be perfect, and it will be a new day. You don't have to see me off. I don't like sad farewells. Just think of me as traveling far away."

"..."

Krina didn't know what to say and could only remain speechless.

Seeing her like this, Kato Megumi reached out and knocked on her head.

"Don't be so depressed, or I'll be worried..."

Krina smiled encouragingly.

……

……

……

The next day, just as Kato Megumi had said, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Early in the morning, she woke up Ying Lili who was sleeping in and left the villa.

Alyssa went to the next city for tea business, and Duo Luo also went with her. Both of them were not there. The captain was on his way to detect rare monsters and had not returned yet. For this Kato Hui, he also left some gadgets so that he could easily deal with that guy.

The villa was empty and there was no one else, so Kato Megumi didn't have to face their farewell when she left. She was relieved. She didn't like that kind of atmosphere. Wouldn't it be nice to leave peacefully and happily?

What remains are only beautiful memories, not a sad farewell.

Of course, she also left some gifts and small notes in the bedroom as gifts for Alyssa and the others. After everything was done, Kato Megumi left the city with ease.

Now that she is quite powerful, she no longer needs the escort of others. Kato Megumi feels that the previous agreement with Alyssa and the others is unnecessary, and there is no need to trouble them anymore.

"Really? Don't you want to say goodbye to them? Hui, wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, they'll be back in a few days, and we're not in such a hurry..."

Eriri lay on Kato Megumi's shoulder, confused and puzzled.

The tail behind her swept back and forth, occasionally blowing up a few strands of long hair. As her tail swayed, it then slid down silently and returned to its original state.

Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"We are just guests in this world and the next. We are leaving anyway. What difference does it make if we leave early or late?"

"Hmm~ Why don't I believe it? You're not telling the truth, idiot Hui."

Eriri stared at Kato Megumi's profile quietly, then snorted and turned her head away.

pat-

The tail hit Kato Megumi's cheek with an uncontrollable sound, leaving a faint pink color.

"what……"

"..."

The atmosphere froze

Kato Megumi smiled.

"Eri, it seems that you didn't listen to me yesterday... It seems that Kei needs to punish you..."

Eriri subconsciously straightened her back and her tail suddenly straightened up. She explained while trying to escape.

"Ah, this... no, no, it's only been one day, this is totally out of my control, um, no no! Someone come and save me."

However, even though Eriri was agile and had sharp five senses, she was ultimately unable to escape Kato Megumi's punishment.

Kato Megumi casually took out her staff and chanted a spell.

As the breeze blew by, an invisible airflow rolled up countless fallen leaves and combined them into a ribbon. Under the control of the wind, it deftly wrapped around Eriri who was jumping in the air, tied her waist and pulled her back.

"Ah! No, you've changed! Hui!"

"Hmm? Why have I changed? I'm doing this for Eriri-san's sake..."

As she watched Kato Megumi's smiling face gradually approaching, Eriri suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated.

"don't want!!!"

……

……

……

Three hours later, Eriri lay on Kato Megumi's shoulder with a look of despair, massaging her shoulders with her paws, sometimes the left shoulder, sometimes the right shoulder, while controlling the tail behind her to gently tap her back, pressing and relaxing her muscles.

Kato Megumi looked very much enjoying it.

"Hmm... the strength is good, but I still need to work harder..."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 244 Chapter Smarty-God Eriri

And Eriri had a look of resentment on her face.

"Mei, you have changed. You are no longer the lovely and kind Hui that I love the most."

"Huh? Am I not cute?"

Kato Megumi looked at Eriri with dangerous eyes, and Eriri was so scared that she shut her mouth immediately!

"Ahaha... Ahahaha, how could that be, I was just kidding! Hui is so cute and kind, I love her the most!"

The hardships of survival made the once arrogant Eriri suddenly realize the viciousness of people in society, especially the woman in front of her.

Alas, it’s so bitter…

……

……

The place marked on the map is a long distance away from the city of Loha. On the way, one not only has to pass through mountains and hills with many wild beasts, but also has to cross a vast lake.

The ruins are located in the center of the lake and are surrounded by lake water, which means that the journey is not safe.

Due to the terrain, transportation was completely impassable, so Kato Megumi did not hire a carriage, but instead prepared to rely on her own footsteps to move towards her destination.

"It would be nice if I could fly... but unfortunately I don't have the ability right now."

Thinking of the long journey ahead, Kato Megumi couldn't help but sigh.

After all, flying magic needs to be learned in the next major stage, that is, the transcendental realm. That realm has already transformed from quantitative change to qualitative change. The magician no longer needs to rely on external magic power, but is a walking furnace of magic power. In addition, with the development of mental power, he naturally has enough ability to support flight.

It's not like the extraordinary stage, where everything depends on external forces, which is simply not feasible. Although she has developed her mental power, insufficient ability is insufficient ability. The magic power she can mobilize now can only allow herself to barely float, reduce her own weight, and move lightly.

Flying is totally out of the question.

Of course, for other magicians, such a long journey is indeed a hardship, but for Kato Megumi, the journey is nothing. After all, her physique is not bad. What she needs to worry about most is not the distance, but the various uncertainties encountered during this distance.

"Hehehe...I can fly..."

Hearing Kato Megumi lament that she couldn't fly, Eriri raised her cat paw and patted her shoulder. When she saw Kato Megumi looking at her in confusion, she raised her little head proudly and said complacently.

"Can fly? Is this an extra ability gained from the last coma..."

"Uh-huh, of course, just watch!"

Eriri's proud cat eyes were filled with complacency. She stretched out her little paws, left Kato Megumi's shoulders, and gently patted the air.

There was a faint air current gently churning under the cat's paws, like some invisible vortex.

Then another claw stepped into the air. When all the claws were in the air and she did not fall to the ground but was still floating in the air, Ying Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She is not yet proficient in this type of flying and has only practiced it a few times since she discovered it yesterday.

She swung her claws in the air, and when she seemed to realize that the flight was very stable and there was no chance of falling, Yinglili's nervousness gradually dissipated. She moved her limbs and began to run happily in the air, just like a child chasing butterflies, very noisy.

It seemed that the more she used her ability, the more proficient she became. Not only her limbs, but Eriri could already use her ability to protect every part of her body. She nimbly flew around in the air, circling around Kato Megumi several times, and then rolled in the air before she stopped gracefully in Kato Megumi's sight.

Trying to maintain her only remaining confidence and dignity.

"Hmm~ Look, I can fly! And I've mastered it very skillfully. Now you can't find any excuses to blame me!"

Kato Megumi looked at Eriri who was looking up with some amusement. Instead of exposing her unfamiliar look, she reached out and touched her head.

"That's great, Eriri-san."

"Of course……"

After receiving Kato Megumi's praise, Eriri felt proud and complacent. Her tail wagged behind her, swaying happily, showing her inner unrest.

But why does it feel a little weird? This kind of praise always feels a little wrong?

This thought suddenly flashed through Eriri's mind, but before she could think about it carefully, Kato Megumi suddenly tilted her head and said.

"But what's the difference between what you're doing and walking underground? You can't fly very high, and you can't ignore the terrain and avoid possible dangers."

"Wu Gu..."

Kato Megumi said this pointedly, causing Eriri to stiffen instantly.

She had carefully observed Eriri's activities just now and found that as Eriri's altitude rose in the air, the transparent fluctuations under her feet became weaker and weaker. This means that the higher she goes, the greater the consumption of her energy.

"Besides, your ability is more like building a staircase in the air than flying. You also need to run and consume your energy. So how is this different from walking on the ground?"

"Wu Gu..."

Another heavy blow. Idiot Hui is too observant! Admittedly, her ability is not so much flying as reducing her own gravity, allowing her body to float in the air. However, she still needs to walk to move in the air, so she still needs the necessary physical strength.

"So, it didn't do anything at all... Eriri-san, you're not going to tell me that you just wanted to show off and didn't really consider anything, right?"

Kato Megumi said meaningfully, staring straight at Eriri.
