Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Faced with Kato Megumi's harassment, Eriri didn't care too much. Although it was very comfortable to lie in Megumi's arms, she couldn't move her hands and feet freely after a long time. She felt like she was restrained. Therefore, now on the bed without any obstacles, Eriri had to stretch her body and release her nature.

Sa Bei on the side looked on with envy, but when she thought about her own physical condition, she lowered her head in disappointment. However, as an optimistic person, she quickly recovered.

"Ms. Hui, if you want to obtain the fire agate, you will need some professional storage tools. You can take a good rest here. I will go buy some to prepare."

Sabey said.

"Tools? What tools do you want?"

"Although fire agate is a material for refining equipment, as a crystal of fire-attributed magical beasts, its temperature is as high as 100 degrees Celsius, so some special tools are needed to load and harvest it."

"We also need some cooling potions to enter the Flame Forest. After all, there is a dead volcano in the Fire Feather Forest, and the temperature inside the forest is much higher than outside."

As Sabei explained one by one, Kato Megumi also began to understand a little about this so-called Fire Feather Forest.

The Fire Feather Forest is called this name because the trees inside the forest are covered with flame-like feathers. Every leaf, like a miracle painted by nature, forms peacock-like feathers, vivid with a fiery red color.

The temperature inside the Fire Feather Forest is many degrees higher than outside. Because of the volcano, some places are covered with magma. Only powerful monsters can survive in it. The deeper the monsters live in the magma, the more powerful the crystal fire agate is.

"Hmm... If that's the case, doesn't that mean we need to fight on lava?"

Faced with Kato Megumi's doubts, Sabei shook his head.

"Don't worry. Huonao Town has developed a potion that can cool the magma and aggregate it into a hard stone by dropping it on the magma. This is usually what we do when we take Huonao."

"Of course, if you don't have money to buy potions, you can actually go deeper into the magma. Most of the magma is in sections, and the distribution is uneven. There are many huge rock roads in between for walking."

"If all else fails, you can also look for fire spirit trees. Not only can magic beasts produce fire agates, but the resin secreted by the trees in the Flame Forest can also form fire agates. However, this kind of fire agate is very random. Some are good and some are bad. Most of them are very ordinary and not as pure as those from magic beasts."

"Um...is that so..."

After understanding the specific situation, Sabei didn't say much, but left and did the purchasing diligently. Of course, the money for the purchase was given in advance by Kato Megumi, and it didn't cost much anyway, so there was no question of whether he believed it or not.

The next day, the man and the cat slept comfortably and woke up when the sun rose.

After tidying herself up a bit, Kato Megumi carried Eriri towards the meeting place, the entrance of the Adventurer's Association.

When she arrived at the door, Ying Lili was a little surprised not to see Sabei.

"Where is she? She won't be late, will she?"

Logically speaking, this guy shouldn't be late, because from various contacts I've had with him he seems to be a very responsible person.

Before Eriri could think of anything, she saw Sabei coming out of the Adventurer's Association with a rosy face.

"Ah, Ms. Hui, Xiaoying Lili, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, we just got here..." Kato Megumi shook her head, while Eriri was speechless. Why did she still have to add "boy" in front of her name after correcting it for so long? It's okay to just call her by her name.

Seeing Eriri looking so casual, Kato Megumi touched her head and asked.

"Why do you look so happy? Did something good happen to you?"

"Hehe, I have to thank Miss Hui for this. Because of you, I have accepted many tasks that I could not accept before."

"Task?"

"Yes, although we are going to the Fire Feather Forest to look for fire agate, the magic beasts that can produce fire agate are also an excellent material for refining weapons. The environment around the magic beasts will also produce some unique herbs. These can be obtained by the way when taking the fire agate, so I took them all."

"Hmph~ How much money can you make from those missions? Isn't the hiring fee Hui gave you enough?"

Seeing Sabei's beaming face, Ying Lili rolled her eyes.

"Ah, well, I just thought it would be convenient for me, so that Miss Hui can make up some money."

Seeing Sabei's embarrassed face, Kato Megumi accepted the girl's kindness and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I don't mind. It's just a matter of convenience. I think any profit is good. You can take the reward for these tasks."

"Oh, that won't do! I..."

Hush

Kato Megumi made a gesture of silence.

"Don't worry, I'm not giving this away for nothing. I need your help with something in the forest this time, and it may be a bit troublesome for you, so this is what you deserve. Just don't think I'm making things more complicated later."

"Besides, I'm not short of money, you should know that..."

"Is... that so? Sabei is not afraid of trouble, don't worry!"

Seeing that the sponsor was so kind to him, the hiring bounty was generous, and he didn't keep the rewards from these tasks but gave them all to him, Sa Bei felt so happy that he was bubbling. Could it be that his luck had turned? He was so lucky to meet such a good sponsor.

With such a mood, Sabei led Kato Megumi towards the Fire Feather Forest in a daze, and even blatantly ignored the gazes from the people around him.

They must be envious of him being employed by a rich sponsor, and Sabei couldn't help but feel proud.

However, she did not get carried away. Seeing that she and her sponsor were already some distance away from the town, she finally asked in a bright voice.

"By the way, Miss Hui, where are our teammates? Are they waiting at the entrance of Fire Feather Forest? Given your status, you must be very confident this time. Your teammates this time must be extremely powerful!"

"no……"

“Eh…n-nothing…?”

"You heard me right, there are no teammates!"

Kato Megumi's calm words came like a thunderclap, shocking Sabei for a moment.

"I, I don't understand what you mean. I guess I heard you correctly. No teammates mean... teammates haven't arrived yet? If that's the case, we can wait."

This should be the case! This must be the case! The sponsor must not be an unreliable person.

The helpers hired by the sponsor must be powerful and strong. Although it is not good to come late, she doesn’t mind if the sponsor doesn’t care.

"It's that I don't have teammates, not that they didn't come. I didn't go to hire help at all."

Kato Megumi repeated it patiently again, and this time Sabei heard it clearly. She was dumbfounded and a little confused.

"But why don't you look for your teammates?"

"Why are you looking for teammates?"

Kato Megumi is confused?

"Because a normal team needs four people! We need one person to resist the attacks of the monsters and act as a shield to protect the team from being attacked."

"Well... I can do this."

Kato Megumi blinked.

"So you are a warrior, Miss. But that's not enough! We also need a swordsman who can attack, to share the monster's attacks with the warriors, and to fight back with physical attacks."

"Yeah, I can do that, too."

Sabei was a little confused. Could it be that the young lady was also a swordsman?

"But we still need a magician to use magic attacks. If we encounter a monster with strong physical defense, we will be stuck."

"Magic? I can do it too?"

"Huh? Miss, can you do magic?" Sabei asked again in a daze.

"I really need a priest...as..."

"Well, needless to say, I know all of them. Don't worry, I just need to be your guide. I will protect you."

Ying Lili, who was standing by, sneered at Sabei's silly look.

"Well, don't worry. We Hui Ke are very capable. You don't have to worry at all. We don't need four people. One person is enough. Why do we need so many people? To be a burden?"

Just like that, Sabei was bewildered and dazed as she took Kato Hui into the Fire Feather Forest. It took her a while to react.

That’s not right. The sponsor said she could do everything, but she had never seen anyone like that. Is that why they are not the sponsors, and why the sponsor is the sponsor?

Sabei was a little confused. Could it be that the sponsor had some powerful prop that could be used for both healing and fighting?

Thinking of this, Sa Bei suddenly realized that they had to use the power of money to fight. Now she felt relieved! That's what I said, how could there be someone who knows everything?

However, her imagination was shattered shortly after entering the Fire Feather Forest.

Looking at the financial sponsor in front of him, he smashed a huge tree as thick as a bucket with one punch, and then swung the broken tree trunk with unimaginable strength to hit the monster in front of him. After that, when the monster was fleeing, he took out a magic staff out of thin air and cast a wind blade to cut off the monster's head. After that, he used magic to heal the wounds of the bleeding corpse and then put it away out of thin air.

After witnessing all this, Sabei suddenly realized that Kato Megumi was not just an ordinary sponsor, but might be a super sponsor who could not be compared with countless sponsors combined!

"Ancestor!!"

Suddenly, a shout came from behind, which made Kato Megumi shudder all over. Kato Megumi slowly turned around, with just the right smile on her lips, looking at Sabei behind her.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me like that all of a sudden?"

The girl's face was now full of admiration, and her eyes were so full of stars that they were about to overflow.

Kato Megumi was a little embarrassed at first, but now her tone has softened and she speaks softly. After all, pretty little sisters still have privileges.

"Ms. Hui, you are amazing! I have never seen anyone as amazing as you!"

Sabei's heart was no less excited than she appeared, especially when she saw Kato Megumi easily use multiple methods to destroy the monster in no more than half a minute.

Just like a ray of light appearing in the darkness, Sabei suddenly felt a yearning in his heart to become someone like the sugar daddy, strong and calm, who could not be bullied by anyone.

"Can I be your student? I also want to be as powerful as you..."

As if he felt that his words were a little abrupt and insincere, Sabei quickly took out all the rewards from his package, his rosy cheeks showing an unconcealable glow.

"This is my tuition fee. Although you may not think highly of it, I can give you all the gold coins I get in the future. I can also find anything you need in the future. Please teach me how to be as powerful as you."

"Just a little bit will do. Sabei won't ask you to teach for too long."

In response to the girl's request, before Kato Megumi could say anything, Eriri pouted and held her head with her little paws, looking like she had a headache.

"Hey, kid, let's not talk about whether Hui will teach you or not. You should know that we won't be here forever. We can't teach you much in such a short time. Not to mention whether you have the talent or not. You have a bad luck physique. In this situation, how can you learn? What ability do you have? Not to mention that you don't know where we are, so how can you send the gold coins to us?"

After hearing Ying Lili say this, Sabei suddenly woke up as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

Yes, one’s own family knows one’s own business. Although she is sincere, her talent is indeed not that good. Although she is still okay among adventurers with some bumps and bruises, the emergence of this bad luck suddenly interrupted her life. How can she make any guarantees under such circumstances!

"I lost my temper, Miss Hui. I'm sorry for making a request that bothered you. Please don't mind it."

Kato Megumi shook her head.

"It's nothing. I won't mind it. It's just that I really can't teach you my abilities."

Ah, so that's how it is. That's right. I guess Miss Hui is so calm because she has a special talent. Talent is required for everything in this world. It seemed that knowing that the thing was impossible, Sabei became depressed all of a sudden.

However, as an optimistic person, she quickly cheered up. After all, as a person possessed by bad luck, if she was not optimistic, she would have been hit hard and away from here. How could she develop such a thick skin?

It's a good thing to learn and become stronger, but it doesn't matter if you lose it, because you have nothing anyway.

Soon, Sabei recovered his composure and continued to lead the way as if nothing had happened.

There were some blind harassment from monsters along the way, but they were all killed easily by Kato Megumi. She didn't even use any abilities. She just relied on brute force, which was enough to leave most monsters with no way to retreat and die under her pair of petite white fists.

Sabei cheered and encouraged, treating Kato Megumi as her favorite idol and becoming her most loyal fan.

This made Ying Lili feel a little worried and pity for the little guy.

Squatting on her shoulder, looking at Sabei not far ahead, Eriri put her mouth close to Kato Megumi's ear and whispered softly.

"Hey, I say, stupid Hui, you really won't teach her?"

"Hmm? Why do you want to teach me?"

Kato Megumi was puzzled.

"But this little girl has a really nice personality. She seems to suit my taste. I always feel it's a pity. After we leave, given her bad luck, I'm afraid she will..."

"Eh? Since when did our proud Eriri-sama actually worry about a little girl like this and talk to me so kindly?"

Kato Megumi looked meaningfully at Eriri who had a puzzled look on her shoulder and said with a smile.

"Shouldn't our Lady Eriri say: Uh-huh, my servant Hui-ah - this little girl is very much to my liking. As my servant, I specially allow you to go and teach her. Be grateful! This is a gift I give you, allowing you to teach my disciple."

!!!

Ying Lili was so scared that she jumped into the air.

"How, how do you know!"

"Hmm? How should I know..."
