【水属性の魔法使い】【#47】涼「リピーター確保が商売の基本」ゲッコーがスカウト

This time, we bring you a story that depicts Shafi’s cursed tattoo removal surgery, the assassination group’s attack, and Ryo’s fatal failure. During the journey, you will see Gekko’s men training to build ice walls. Gekko says, “The first thing merchants need to do is protect themselves. Ryo-san’s ice wall makes that possible.” When Shafi asks, “What are the requirements for being an excellent merchant?” Gekko replies, “I deal with business seriously.” Gekko asks Ryo the same question. “What do you think is the basis of business?” Ryo immediately answers, “Secure repeat customers.” “If you have secured customers, you can predict how big your sales will be next year and the year after.Being able to foresee your business is the bare minimum necessary,” he explains in detail. Gekko nods happily and asks, “Why don’t you quit being an adventurer and come work for us?” he scouts. On the evening of the third day after leaving Halwill, the caravan finally arrives at the border town of Redpost. It was the twelfth day after leaving the city of Run. As I was checking in at the inn, I heard a familiar voice from behind me. “Ah, Ryo is here!” When I turned around, Rin and Warren from “The Red Sword” were there. Ryo asks, “Maybe Rihya is in this town too?” When Rin asked, “Is Lihya a high-ranking priest?” Ryo nodded dramatically. Ryo introduces Rin and Warren to Gekko and explains that Richa’s healing magic can solve Shafi’s problem. After a while, Abel and Richa return to the inn and explain the situation at the cafe. “I will rip off the cursed tattoo on Shafi’s chest. I want Richa to heal that wound,” Abel confirms. Richa promises to cooperate, saying, “I don’t mind.” Abel suggests using a water jet, saying, “Hey, Ryo, you’ve got some kind of water coming out, right? Can’t you use that?” However, Ryo refuses because the risk is high, explaining, “Water will get into the area around the cut, damaging the surrounding tissue.” Instead, she suggests, “Extend the ice film around the heart to cover the heart and its surrounding vital blood vessels.” When Shafi asks, “My heart is covered with a layer of ice, isn’t it? Doesn’t that mean it’s cold?” Ryo explains. “When ice turns into water, it absorbs the heat from its surroundings. However, the ice that forms inside Shafi’s body remains ice forever due to magic. Since it never turns into water, it does not take away the heat from its surroundings. The other reason is that I forbid the transfer of heat from the surroundings to the formed ice film, so the temperature does not change.” Rin, a wind magician, was surprised, saying, “Can you forbid the transfer of heat?!”, and muttered, “I wonder if I’ll be able to do something related to wind… maybe I’ll be able to survive cold days…”. The surgery will take place in the inn’s conference room. Shafi is put to sleep with a general anesthetic, and Lihya prepares the recovery spell. Ryo coats the heart and surrounding blood vessels with a film of ice, ensuring safety. Max began cutting through the skin and flesh with the knife, and when he cut about a quarter of the way through, the tattoo began to change. The tattoo sword will begin to glow and a stone spear will be generated. The stone spear aims at Shafi’s heart, but Ryo’s ice film completely blocks it. The sound of grinding metal echoing through the conference room. At that moment, Ryo’s passive sonar responds. “Something is coming from the window!” Ryo warns loudly. Protect Shafi and the others with the “Ice Wall 10 Layer Package” and shout, “Abel, please protect Mr. Gecko.” Three black-clad assassins jumped in through the window. Two of them face Gekko, and one of them faces Shafi. The three of them hit the smoke bomb on the floor, but Rin chants, “Swirl the wind, there’s a tornado in my palms,” and instantly exhausts the smoke out the window. Abel was already kicking the floor and slashing at one of the bandits. Warren, the shield user, defeats one with three flowing blows and buys time for the other, but Abel approaches from behind and decapitates the other. The bandit headed toward Shafi, but was trapped in an ice coffin without even touching the ice wall. Max declares, “Okay, I cut it out,” and Ryo immediately surrounds his tattooed breast with an “ice coffin.” Rihya activates “Extra Heal” and her greatly gouged chest fully recovers. The newly generated skin was free of tattoos. The next morning, they extract information from the bandit who was imprisoned in the ice coffin. It turns out that they came to check on it after receiving word that the tattoo had been activated, and that assassinating Gekko was their top priority. The caravan leaves Red Post and enters the Duchy of Inveri. Along the way, Shafi provides more information. “The headquarters of the cult is a small village in the eastern part of the Knightley Kingdom. It’s a day’s walk north of Wingston. It’s called the village of Avan. All the people who live in that village are members of the cult.” Ryo is stunned, saying, “I can’t believe it was that close…” “If it wasn’t for the request, I would have gone right now and destroyed it! The Assassin Order was lucky!” he said regretfully. Shafi warns, “The leader of the cult is also substandard.He excels in alchemy and earth magic.” Ryo said with a twinkle in his eye, “That’s a skill we both want!” and took over the removed tattoo as research material. When Ryo asks, “Why did the Assassin Order carry out such an attack on Whitnash?” Shafi is shocked. “How do you know that the Wit Nash incident was done by the cult? Even in the cult, unless you’re an executive, you wouldn’t know about it.” Ryo replies, “Because I was there.” Ten days later, the caravan arrived at the capital city of Aberdeen. Strangely enough, they were never attacked after entering the duchy. Gekko politely thanks him and gives him a gratuity at the Chamber of Commerce. However, Ryo’s fatal mistake is discovered here. Ryo, who heard Sue and Ra’s conversation, looked at them as if they were about to make a creaking noise. “Ryo…I can’t believe that expression…did you forget to withdraw money?” Ryo had forgotten to withdraw money from his guild account. They only have one gold coin and two large copper coins, a total of 120 florins, and are unable to cross the border. I was unable to take my special reward, a large gold coin of 100,000 florins, with me as I was planning to deposit it into my account in the next town. Sue suggests that they should accept a request to be escorted to the kingdom, but there is a problem: “Can I accept it even if I am a D-class?” Ryo’s abilities are not known in other countries, so they don’t talk to him. Ryo and his friends didn’t even know where the Adventurer’s Guild was, so they decided to ask about it at the Gekko Company before heading there. This story is an important episode that depicts Ryo’s application power of water magic, Rihya’s top-class recovery magic, Abel and his friends’ overwhelming fighting power, and Ryo’s fatal careless mistake. Information about the Assassin’s Order has also been revealed, providing a foreshadowing of what will happen next.
