124-Sage mode and rewards




 
 Hey, calm down, man.
 Am I a wise man?


 Yeah, I'm wise.

 Activate sage mode.

 By the way, the wise man mode is just a mood thing and doesn't have much effect, but I use it when I have to change my mind somehow.

 I can calm down a bit.

 I managed to move my body away from Luna, as I was afraid I would attack her if I continued to watch her at close range.

''I'm sorry, Luna.''

 I moved out of the way of Luna and stood up.
 
'No ... you protected me when I almost fell down, didn't you? Thank you very much.

 Luna stood up, holding the hand I held out to her. Luna's hand was small and soft.

 Oh, look out, I was almost out of sage mode.

'Where am I?'

 Luna, who had no way of knowing my struggles, scurried around.

 This room was surrounded by vaguely glowing stone walls on all sides, and there was no doorway anywhere.

 If this was the room that Tina was talking about with the benefits of being a transferable hero, then it seems it would be easy to get out....

 If that's the case, I don't understand why Luna was also sent here.

 Don't tell me that Luna is also a shifter or a reincarnator?

 However, Luna had been shown the status board.

 Luna's occupation was a common position in this world, that of an apprentice sorcerer.

 It seems that those who have been transferred or reincarnated by the gods of this world are fixed in the tertiary occupation.

 So I thought it was unlikely that Luna was a reincarnate.

 However, if Luna wasn't a reincarnated person, then this room wasn't a privilege room, and there was a possibility that I would have to escape in some way.

 I was wondering if I should ask Luna if she was a reincarnate or not. If Luna was a reincarnation, then I would be convinced that she was sent here with me. But at the same time, it would mean that I would have to divulge that I was also a reincarnated person.

 Well, even if they find out, it won't be much of a problem, and if I ask, Luna will keep it to herself.

 It's not like it was decided that you can't get out in the first place. There might be a way out of the building normally.

 Let's investigate first.

I don't know where we are. "I don't know where we are either, but let's check out this room for now.

Okay, I understand.

 Me and Luna began to investigate this room.

 The first thing we noticed were four pedestals.
 Three had nothing on top of them.

 On one of the remaining pedestals, a rather old-looking book was placed haphazardly. There is some writing on the cover, but I can't read it.

 I picked up the book and opened it, but I couldn't read the text inside either.


'May I have a look?'

 Saying that, Luna took the book from me. Luna can slurp the ancient runes, so maybe she can read this book too.

 Luna rolls up the pages.

 Huh?
 It looks like I'm reading normally........

 Halfway through the page, Luna's hand stopped rolling up the page and her face turned red. And she was looking at the page very seriously.

''Luna?''
What? What is this?

 I called out to her and she was very surprised.
 Luna was reading a book with a single mind.

 Was it written in such a serious way that it was worth reading?

 I'm really curious about the content.

'Luna, can you read this?'

Yes. This book is like a grimoire.

A grimoire?

It contains information on forbidden magic, now forgotten about even the chanting, and how to make a very effective potion.

 Saying that, Luna held the book in front of her chest as if it was very important.

''Um........is it okay if I get this book?''

Hmmm, why not? I didn't get it from the treasure chest in the boss's room, and probably only Luna can read it.

 I can read the ancient runes, for one thing, and I've recently started learning the Elvish script, after Tina and the others taught me.

 In this world, those two scripts are known to be particularly difficult to understand.

 I can understand those two languages to some extent, but they're completely unreadable to me.

 Maybe it's a more specialized higher-level language.

Thank you!

 Luna smiled like I've never seen her smile before.
 So cute.

 I was wondering why Luna wanted this book so badly, but it didn't matter when I saw Luna's joy.

 After that, Luna started reading the book again. She seemed to look over the page she was looking at earlier with a red face many times.

 I'm still curious about the contents........

 I think I'll use the forbidden a(-)re(-).


 I turned on the mind-reading technique.
 Immediately, Luna's thoughts are conveyed to me.

(──and the fire-breathing grass, and then the dragon's claws? I believe the fire-breathing grass was grown in the school. As for the dragon claws.......could you ask Ryushin-san for them?)

 What is it........is it an ingredient for making some kind of magic tool?

 I don't know what you're planning to make, but are you going to substitute the claws of the dragonoid Ryushin for what was originally intended to be a dragon's claws?

 Are you sure?
 That kind of thing.

(I think I have all the ingredients for now. The question is how to get them to drink it.)

 What?
 It's a drink?

 I don't know who you're going to give it to, but I'm not going to drink a drink with rusin claws in it.

 Should we stop Luna?
 What the hell is Luna trying to build?

(Hmmm, it's amazing that you can make a love potion that's hard to detect with all these ingredients. Moreover, it's written to be very effective.

 Oh, seriously....
 Luna's trying to make a love potion.

 And she's trying to make a super-powerful one that's on the level of a grimoire written in a high-level language...

 No, no, no, Mr. Luna, have you never looked in the mirror? You don't need a love potion to seduce most men!

(It is written that if you mix the target's bodily fluids and the sorcerer's bodily fluids as a catalyst, the success rate will increase when smelting... but isn't this a good time to do it...)

 Luna glanced at me.

'Hmm?'

Oh, no, it's nothing.
(Mm, I can't.......what should I ask? I can't just say please give me bodily fluids──I can't say that!)

 What? Is it possible... that it's me?
 Why me?

(What are you talking about? Like saliva?

 No, no, no, there's a lot more!
 Like sweat and blood.

(But it's not every day that I get to be alone with Hurt-san, so I feel like I shouldn't miss this opportunity.)

 Seriously ... it's really me, isn't it?

 It's kind of nice to see a beautiful girl like Luna wanting to be friends with me, even if it means using a love potion.

 Well, Yoko's enchantment didn't work on me either, so a love potion doesn't work on me.

(I mean, since it's just the two of us right now, wouldn't it be better to talk to Harut-san a lot and get to know him better than how to make a love potion?)

 That's right. That's right.

 Don't try to get me to take a love potion with Lysin's claws in it.

"Oh, um...

 Luna looked at me.

"What?
No, no, it's still nothing!
(I'm too aware of Hurt-san to talk to him face to face....)

 You're not going to get off that easy.

 Well, that's why I'm going to have to...

Luna, do you have a minute?

What is this?

'At the school festival, you did a great job at the maid cafe I planned for you, didn't you? It made it a great success. I'm thanking everyone for that, what would you like, Luna?

What?

 Luna is frozen.
 A little too abruptly, don't you think?

Anything? I'm asking them one by one, because I know there are some requests that are hard to say. I've already fulfilled the wishes of Rifa, Merdi and the others. I'm sorry it took so long for me and Luna to have a chance to talk to each other,

 Luke, Ryushin, and Luca took all three of them to a slightly more expensive restaurant. Let's pretend that's the end of the reward.

''Anything?''

Yeah. For example, I cooked for him, gave him a massage and patted his head and so on. And also...
The kiss.

Yeah, you know, the kissing and... what?

What?
