Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Looking at Kato Megumi's increasingly dangerous gaze, Eriri felt her whole body trembling. How did this guy know that this was how she was written in the little notebook she wrote? Could it be that the stupid Megumi secretly peeked at it?

“No… How could I have peeked? You said all this yourself last night… When I heard you say this, I was shocked. I didn’t expect Eriri to think of Kei like this…”

As if seeing through Eriri's thoughts, Kato Megumi said lightly.

!!!

"Ah, ahahaha, you think too much, dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are, so my sleep talking must be the opposite of what I actually talked about, too, how could I possibly look at you like that!"

Eriri tried to laugh, but as she laughed, she couldn't laugh anymore, because the gaze was no longer dangerous, but like a volcanic eruption, it had already touched her hair.

"Meow!!!"

A miserable cat cry sounded in the Fire Feather Forest, and Sabei, who was leading the way in front, looked at the man and the cat playing behind him, and couldn't help but feel longing.

Xiaoying Lili and Miss Hui really have a good relationship...

Ying Lili didn’t know whether the relationship was good or not. She only knew that she was like a dead cat and was being tortured badly.

If it hadn't sold itself to Kato Megumi and said that it could step on her milk for an extra hour at night, it might have become a dead cat today.

Looking at Eriri, who was limp and with messy hair in her arms, Kato Megumi flicked her with her little finger in amusement.

"What? Aren't you happy?"

"Meow meow~"

Eriri quickly leaned forward and looked as if asking for a touch, which made Kato Megumi feel a little amused.

Seeing Eriri's strong desire to survive, Kato Megumi thought, it seems that Eriri really likes this kind of play, let's find time to do it again!

Given Eriri's spirit of never giving up and fighting hard, I'm sure there will be many more scenes like this in the future. It's really exciting.

As expected of Eriri-san, such perseverance completely lives up to the name of Sawamura. She will be blackmailed in the future.

What do you call this? It seems to be a sting operation... Yeah, that's a pretty good description.

Powerless and tortured, Eriri had no idea that a hateful person in her heart had already figured out how to trap her and make her sell her body again and again.

However, sometimes ignorance is better.

At this time, Eriri was lying limply in Kato Megumi's arms, and she didn't talk about the previous topic.

"The girl is really good. Why don't you try to agree to her request? Anyway, I have nothing to do during the period of collecting the fire audacity. It wouldn't hurt to teach her."

Kato Megumi patted Eriri's head.

"Have you forgotten that I am different from the people here? I can't teach them what I know."

"Oh, yeah...that's right..." Eriri suddenly realized, "That's a problem. It looks like there's no solution. But the little girl is unlucky. How about leaving her a few weapons? Then she can protect herself without magic!"

Kato Megumi didn't know what to do when she heard Eriri's childish words. Eriri was stupid to begin with, and she became even dumber after turning into a cat.

How would such a stupid cat survive without me? Fortunately, I am kind and generous. Kato Megumi was a little helpless.

"Doesn't she have the strength to protect herself now? You have to know that she is also an adventurer now, and her strength is not bad. The problem now is not whether to protect herself or not, but how to solve her unlucky physique. If this is not solved, she will always be excluded from human society. And it is useless to give her weapons. External objects are always external objects, and they are not as reliable as her own strength."

"Having weapons would be even worse, as it would attract the ill intentions of others."

"Ah... what should I do then..."

Kato Megumi patted the cat's head, looked at Sabei who was leading the way in front, and smiled.

"Don't worry, I have an idea that has a high probability of success. I believe that the little girl will not be excluded in the future."

Before Eriri could ask in detail, Sabei's voice came from the front.

"Ms. Hui, the place ahead is where we officially enter the rock pool.

Sabei ran over and pointed forward.

Lakes of lava were bubbling like pools of water on the bare ground. Some were small pools like houses, and some were huge pools with no end in sight, forming a sharp contrast with the fire feather forest behind them, just like the trees in the desert dividing the boundary, half desert and half forest.

However, this place is half magma and half fire feather forest. Along with the distortion of space, a surging heat wave hits his face. Before he even stepped out of the dividing line, Sabei was sweating all over and felt that he could not bear it.

"Ms. Hui, the temperature of the rock pool has risen by more than ten degrees at the beginning, and it gets hotter as we go deeper. We need to use cooling potions."

As he spoke, Sabei took out a green potion from the package and gave each person a bottle.

Through the transparent glass, Kato could see the liquid inside, which looked like juice, but he had no idea what it was made of.

After taking a sip, there was no sudden cool feeling, but just a layer of transparent film suddenly covered the skin, isolating the surrounding high temperature.

The temperature soon dropped. Kato Megumi didn't care about the temperature. After all, she could use magic to isolate the surrounding temperature. However, Eriri and Sabe couldn't do that.

After drinking the potion, as a transparent film appeared, the man and the cat felt much more comfortable all of a sudden.

"I didn't expect this to lower the temperature. Can this film withstand attacks?"

Kato Megumi asked.

ps: There are 7 chapters today, and there is still one to go. I will add it to tomorrow and not stay up late.

But Sabé shook his head.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This film is like air. Although it can block the surrounding high temperature, attacks can still penetrate it. If it could resist attacks, this medicine wouldn't be this expensive."

“Yeah… that’s right.”

Resisting an attack is equivalent to saving your life, and if you can really defend against an attack, it would be a huge price to pay.

After the three of them drank the potion, Sabé took out the map from the package and began to plan the route.

"Ms. Hui, this is the route I have summarized from my own experience and various maps over the years. If you want fire agate, you have to follow this line, pass through a giant rock lizard's territory, then turn around this small mountain range. The number of fire agates will increase as you go north. If you want to get more, you can start from here."

The little girl pointed to a point on the map, drew a route from north to south, and then pointed to another place.

"If you're looking for quality, you can choose this place." The little girl pointed to another valley and said seriously, "The monsters here are relatively powerful. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters become. Similarly, the strength and purity of the fire agate are getting higher and higher. Because powerful monsters have their own territories, although the fire agate in this area is scarce, the quality is very high."

Seeing the two of them looking at the map quietly and attentively, Ying Lili also stuck her head out to take a look.

“I don’t understand it at all…”

Ying Lili muttered, what kind of map is this, with all the lines twisting and turning?

But soon she noticed a circled place on the map, so she curiously pointed at the circle with her paw and asked.

"What is this place? Why is there a circle drawn here? Is there something wrong here?"

Kato Megumi had noticed this circle a long time ago, and when she saw Eriri asking the question, she also asked.

"Here, what is this place?"

The circle on the map is very obvious and stands out compared to other marks on the map. No wonder the two of them saw it at once.

"Ah... here..." Sabei scratched his head, "How should I put it... I marked this circle because it's a bit weird, so I drew a big circle to avoid going in."

"eccentric?"

"Yeah, I don't know why, but some people who entered this area have never come out. Logically, the level of the monsters in this area should be very high, but some people went in and came out. According to them, the level of the monsters inside is actually average and has never appeared. This leads to inconsistent opinions about this place."

"Of course, this is nothing, but the key is that every time the people who went in disappeared, the entire team disappeared. I have never seen one or two people from the disappeared team come out. This is a bit strange. Even those who came out safely couldn't explain what happened. So for safety, I drew a circle on the map to warn myself."

Hearing Sabei say this, Ying Lili looked curious.

"Either the whole team comes out, or they all disappear. That's pretty weird. Do you want us to go check it out?"

Eriri asked Kato Megumi.

"Do you want to go? Although it's a little strange, I think Miss Hui will be able to get out of this unscathed with her abilities."

There was a man and a cat, one with curiosity, the other full of admiration, both looking at her with sparkling eyes. Kato Megumi was a little amused and just when she was about to answer, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Huh? Are you a team? Why are there only two of you? Did you get separated from your teammates?"

As the footsteps got closer, a group of people came into Kato Megumi's sight. A young woman in a wizard's robe walked over, followed by a woman and a man. When she saw Kato Megumi and the other person, she greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Are you here to get the fire audax as well? Since the team has been separated, would you like to join us?"

The woman had fiery red hair and a personality as cheerful and lively as her hair color. She greeted everyone as soon as she came in. It wasn't that she was particularly kind, after all, there were competitors in the team. But for some reason she always felt that there would be some unexpected benefits if she came forward and said hello, so she behaved like this.

Normally, she would be quite cautious when meeting other teams. But for some reason, when she saw the combination of these two girls, she felt itchy in her heart and always wanted to chat with them. Was it because of their temperament?

The fiery red-haired woman stroked her chin with her hand and thought so.

"Ah, thank you for your kindness. Our team is not separated. Thank you for your kindness."

It seemed that it was because it was rare for someone to be so kind to talk to him, so Sabei replied quickly, appearing a little flustered.

"Not separated? So that means there are only two of you... How strange."

"What's so strange about this? You've seen this kind of thing many times, haven't you? There are always some newcomers who think they are so great that they can go on adventures alone. Hey, I tell you, you're not going to show off your kindness again, are you?"

A man in armor holding a big sword behind him muttered.

"You deserve a beating, Casey!"

While the fiery red-haired woman was glaring, a flaxen-haired girl wearing a priest's uniform gently pulled Casey's sleeve from behind her.

"Stop talking, Mr. Casey. I always do this. If you say one more word, I can't guarantee that you will be fine after this mission is completed."

"Tsk, you only know how to threaten me... Never mind, you're the captain after all, you can be kind if you want, but the person in charge of this mission requires confidentiality, Melissa, you must remember that!"

As he said this, he glanced at Kato Megumi and the other person and rolled his eyes.

It was obvious at first glance that the two were rookie adventurers. Only rookie adventurers would be so careless as to rush in together. Judging from their attire, there wasn't even a priest on them, and I didn't know if they had any healing potions on them that made them so bold.

Casey rolled his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully again, but he frowned, as if he discovered something, and looked at them carefully again.

"Ah... aren't you the unlucky one? Whoever teams up with you will be unlucky!"

Cathy was suddenly startled, then quickly pulled Melissa back a few steps defensively.

"What are you doing!"

Melissa was very dissatisfied.

"What am I doing? I'm saving you. Don't you know that the person talking to you is the unlucky guy from Huo Nao Town? You idiot, you're walking towards him. Aren't you afraid of bad luck?"

Cathy said aggrievedly, what's the matter, I'm doing this for her own good.

……

……

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 261 Chapter Happy Sabei

“Eh, is that so?”

Melissa was stunned. She had also heard the rumors about Huonao Town, but she didn't expect that the owner of the rumor was the petite and cute girl in front of her.

She looked at the priestess behind her and asked.

"Irene...is that her?"

Faced with Melissa's doubts, the priestess hesitated.

"I don't know either. It was Lady Casey who handed in the task before."

"Hey, hey, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. The man got into trouble right after he got into trouble with this guy. Oh, and there was a woman who was not afraid of death and hired her. It seems that these two people are the ones."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

There was a snap.

Melissa slapped the man's head hard and scolded him softly. No matter what, he couldn't say it like that in front of two girls. No wonder this guy hasn't had a girlfriend for so long. He deserves to be single.

"Ahaha, I'm so sorry, my teammate is a bit of a mouthful and can't speak, I'm so sorry!"

Sabei was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. After all, the other party was right. His physique was indeed not pleasing to the eye. If it were normal, he would have ignored it long ago. However, the other party had kindly greeted him before, and Sabei felt his face burning red.

Melissa looked at the two of them with evasive eyes, feeling very embarrassed. She also knew the rumors about Huonao Town. Although she had not actually experienced it, since no one doubted it, it must be true. She was not sure if she could avoid the so-called bad luck. In addition, the nature of this mission did not allow for any compromise.

"I'm so sorry, it seems we can't go with you, I'm so sorry!"

"Ah, it's okay!" Sabei waved his hands and said honestly, "Miss Hui and I didn't intend to go with you guys."

"..."

Now it was the magician's turn to blush. To be honest, she was the one who spoke to the other person without permission, and then she was the one who disliked the other person without permission. She was indeed wrong.

After forcing her teammate Casey to apologize and gaining Sabe's understanding, the female magician threw a bottle of potion as a gift to express her apology, and then left with her team, leaving Sabe standing there in a daze.
