Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 51

The next genus

***---***

After registering my classmates with the guild, I thought I'd go to increase the number of genus, but Manon was waiting when I left the conference room.

I was about to take a deep breath, start walking, and explain about the chairman, but when I felt a gaze and turned around, girls were gathered at the entrance of the conference room and were watching closely.

"Kobayashi-san, Sakurai-san, I'm counting on you for the rest! Manon, come with me!"

Leaving behind the girls who had turned into a mass of curiousity, I ran while holding Manon's hand.

I thought that the destination would be okay at this time, so I headed for the top of the wall.

Manon held my hand tightly while looking down, and running with me.

I reached the top of the wall and turned around, but it seems that I managed to lose the curious girls.

To get rid of my rough breath from running, I took a deep breath again, and decided to do my homework given by the chairman.

"Sorry, in fact, not only Beatrice, but there's also a girl in Lastock who has been kind to me ..."

After bowing deep enough to hit my knees, I told Manon about the chairman.

After we were summoned, she could use light attribute magic.

Since she was in Japan, she had a very strong sense of responsibility and continued to treat my classmates until she collapsed every day.

Being kept apart from the dormitory, she can only talk to her friends during treatment.

I didn't refuse the chairman's kiss.

Manon and Beatrice, whom I had kept secret, were found out by the chairman last night.

"Yuika asked me to give Manon a message that she wouldn't lose ..."

Manon listened to the story, while biting her lips with tears in her eyes almost ready to spill.

When I finished talking about everything, she looked up slightly, closed her eyes, and seemed to be organizing her thoughts.

Eventually, after a big sigh, Manon quietly opened her eyes.

"Kent's a cheater."

"Guu ... I can't argue with you."

Even if Manon critizes me with tears, I can only hang my head.

"Haa ... Why did I have to come to like Kent ..."

"Sorry ..."

"Kent couldn't leave Yuika alone, right?"

"Yeah, she's been fighting alone this whole time, and it seemed like she would really break ..."

"Yes ... I understand ..."

With a determined gaze, Manon hugged me tightly as she snuggled up to me.

A shrill voice was heard from below the ramparts, but I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

Manon, who is shaking a little, feels irresistibly adorable.

"I can't hate Kent ..."

"Thank you, when I bring Yuikda to Volzard, I will introduce you properly."

"Yeah, tell her before that ... I'll never lose ..."

Manon kissed my cheeck and then put her strength into her arms around my back again.

"Ok, I'll definitely tell her. Then, can I move by shadow movement from here?"

"Where are you going?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking of increasing my genus in the Devil's Forest."

"Genus ...?"

"Yeah, it's a companion who works for me."

"Increase ... how do you do it?"

"I use necromancy to make monsters I've killed into genus."

"You can do that?"

"Yeah, I seem to be able to ... something like that?"

"Haa ... Kent is absurd ..."

"Sorry ..."

"Be careful and go ..."

"Okay ... then I'm off."

After nodding at Manon who released her arms, I dove into the shadow world.

[ Buhahaha, Kent-sama, was pretty good. ]

[ Mou, It's not something to laugh about. ]

I moved to the Devil's Forest with Reinhardt and Zae who were waiting in the shadow world.

[ My King, if that person also becomes genus ... ]

[ No, no, if I do that, I'll be a criminal. ]

I immediately dismissed Zae's opinion, but in reality, if I make killed humans into undead and use them, can you tell the difference from a normal human? Do they keep their memory?

If so, if I kill Camilla and make her undead, I may be able to manipulate her with absolute obedience, but ... I feel that I'd become a trash person.

[ So Kent-sama, do you want to make genus of goblins or kobolds? ]

[ If it's quick, which one is faster? ]

[ That would be kobolds. Goblins are a little smarter, but kobolds are better at speed and dexterity. ]

[ Well, let's find a pack of kobolds. ]

When Reinhardt and the others came out and let their aura out, the kobolds would run away in fear, so we searched while moving in the shadows.

As I entered slightly into the forest, I quickly found a pack of kobolds moving.

[ They seem to be heading out to hunt. ]

Reinhardt says that kobolds have territories that they build nests in.

The individuals moving in this way are young males and females heading for hunting, and the bosses of the herd, the breeding females, and the children live in the nests.

The kobolds, who have been moving, stopped to drink water from a stream and took a rest.

The total number of them is 33, which is not enough for the planned 50, but I decided to make this pack my genus.

The kobolds, who have taken a rest as they wish, are stabbed in the heart with a knife from the shadow world.

It's really like an assembly line because it's a kobold partner who is still.

Basten asked me as I was killing the kobolds.

[ Kent-sama, why don't you use light-type attack magic? ]

[ Yeah, that would open a hole in the front ... ]

[ Even if a hole is opened, it may be closed when strengthening ...? ]

[ Oh, yeah ... but it's over, so no. ]

The subjugation of the kobolds was completed in about three minutes.

You wouldn't even know how the fallen kobolds were killed.

I asked Zae and the others to collect the defeated kobolds.

There are no scratches on the outside, so it seems as if they are really sleeping.

In front of the lined up kobolds, I took a deep breath to calm myself.

And, like the time of Zae and the others, I called out while imagining connecting links.

"Become my genus, please work ... ugh ..."

I felt like noise was running through my head, and I almost fainted for a moment, but I clenched my teeth and endured it.

While I desperately tied up the link that was about to break, I was caught in the feeling of having my magical power drained again.

I lost strength from my body and involuntarily kneeled.

[ Kent-sama, are you okay? ]

[ Yeah, a little more ... ]

While I was kneeling, and enduring the feeling of being deprived of my strength, the loss of power stopped.

Then, the kobolds woke up and started looking around.

Looking at them, I gathered my strength and stood up, and the kobold, who seemed to be the leader of the pack, gave some signal, and the kobolds all knelt in front of me.

"Kyun ..."

"Will you help me?"

When I asked if I could rely on them, the kobolds nodded firmly.

I downed a pill to help restore magical power, and then started strengthening the kobolds.

[ Kent-sama, the kobolds have already become members of your genus, so isn't it okay to strengthen them later? ]

"But I thought I'd finish it all at once."

[ Are you okay? It will be trouble if you get sick from overdoing it. ]

"Yeah, I'm probably okay, but this might be the last time I can increase my genus."

[ Hou, what makes you think that? ]

"Somehow, I felt when connecting the link as a genus that I had hit the limit."

[ Is that so ... If that's the case, you should dispose of them and get stronger monsters ... ]

"No, I've already made them my genus, so I can't treat them so poorly."

[ Mmm, is that right, Kent-sama was that kind of person. ]

If I knew that the number of genus was limited, I might have made more powerful monsters into my genus.

However, since I have already made them my genus, it's the same as being family.

If their strength is not enough, I can strengthen it.

Increased speed, increased power, increased wisdom, and ...

"Then, I'll strengthen everyone, each one gets one orc magic stone and one lizardman magic stone."

I strengthened the kobolds with the magic stones of the orc pack that we defeated yesterday, and the magic stones of Zae's kin, which have not been cashed in to the guild yet.

When they started taking in magic stones and I sent magical power with the image, a black mist wrapped the kobolds as usual.

After the lightning ran, thunder roared, and the black mist exploded, they were undead kobolds with black fur, like a deformed werewolf.

Their height doesn't reach 120 cm and they have triangular ears.

The bloody red eyes became black eyes, and the fur and tail are fluffy like stuffed animals.

A black dagger, like a toy sword, is attached to everyone's back.

[ Kent-sama, they look pretty cute ... ]

"Yeah, the appearance is ... alright, everyone, try out your new bodies."

As soon as I called out, the kobolds swirled in the wind and disappeared.

Not only running on the ground, but also kicking the trunks of trees, jumping over branches, and running around the Devil's Forest three-dimensionally.

Dive into the shadows with all your might and jump out of another shadow ... Yeah, I can't catch them like this.

Eventually, when an undead kobold swiped its front leg, a tree that an adult could barely hold was broken with a single blow.

A blow of a swung black dagger easily cut down a tree of similar thickness.

Yeah, their power seems to be perfect.

[ I see, if you're fooled by that look, you'll get a lot of pain. ]

"Oh yeah, if it looks cute, I wonder if walking around the city won't make an uproar."

[ As expected, Kent-sama, I am impressed you were thinking so much. ]

Well, actually, I just wanted fluffy genus.

"OK, everyone gather!"

When the command was given, the one who was the leader came out in front, and the rest were lined up in four columns.

"Then, I'll give everyone a name, you're the leader, Art!"

I'm sorry, I couldn't think of over thirty names at once, so I added one letter to each of the beginning of the names of the kobolds in the order of AIUEO.

As expected when I finished naming everyone from Art to Murt, I felt that the link became thicker.

Specifically, what it feels like is that even though the kobolds have the same face I can properly distinguish their names.

Of course, with Zae and the others, their faces and names can be properly distinguished.

"Everyone, I'm counting on you in the future."

"Yes! Goshujin-sama!"(TN:Can mean master, lord, or husband.)

"Eh? Go, goshujin-sama ...?"

"Yes, goshujin-sama, is my goshujin-sama."

When I looked at Art who responded happily while shaking its tail, I thought it was okay.

"Okay, everyone, come on!"

"Wafu!"

When I opened my hands and called them, I was pushed down by Art and the others and licked all over my face.

It's already the Fluffy Festival, the Fluffy Festival.

It's the best in the coming cold season ... I wonder why they're warm even though they should be dead because they're undead.

The undead kobolds made six groups, with five in each group, and three under my direct control.

I will try to combine one group for each of Zae and the others.

The remaining group will be used to contact and assist Reinhardt and the others.

Yeah, they look like a corps.

With this number, they could guard Amanda-san's shop while I was out, and a half-hearted opponent wouldn't be their match.

After increasing the number of genus, it was already noon, so I sneaked into the garrison of Lastock, ate a meal, and finished the care of the chairman.

After this, I have to go to the guild to register Art and the others.

While I'm in the guild, I had Reinhardt take command and do a movement exercise in the Devil's Forest.

It's impossible to say that you can suddenly form a combination and move.

Take the three of Mart, Mirt, and Murt and move to the guild by shadow movement, leave the three of them in the shadow world, go out from the shadow of the stairs, and head to the counter, have a chance encounter.

"Yo, if it isn't Kent ..."

Ah, isn't it the evil old man stupid parent?

"He, he, hello ... Klaus-san."

"Ou, I heard you rescued about 50 of your companions?"

"Yes, thank you for your continued support."

"Hmm ... what should I do ... it looks like there's some bastard who is getting carried away ..."

Klaus-san with his arms folded, is pretending to ponder about the future.

"No, um ... the matter of Rise ..."

"Aah? Rise is it?"

"No, um, about Beatrice-san ... um ..."

"I'll kill you if you put your hands on her, I told you right ...?"

The distance was shortened, and I inadvertently stepped back, but there was no escape as there was a wall behind me.

"Yesh, but ... umm ..."

"I told you, isn't that right?"

Noooo, the first Kabedon of my life, this particular case is unpleasant.

Anyway, close, close, your face is too close.

It was a time when I was cornered and faced a desperate pinch.

"Guru ..."

I heard three growls that echoed from the bottom of the stomach from nowhere.

"What?"

As expected, Klaus-san, who was originally an adventurer, suddenly backed off and began to look at the surroundings.

"Mart, Milt, Murt, it's okay, just wait."

"Kyun ... Kyun ..."

Perhaps because they were told that there was no turn, I heard a dissatisfied nasal voice.

"Kent, what is this voice?"

"Yes, I added undead kobolds to my genus, so I was thinking of registering them."

"What is an undead kobold?"

"You can think of the kobolds that have been subdued as kobold versions of Reinhardt and the others, which have been strengthened by necromancy."

"Are they here?"

"Yes, the three of them who report to me are here."

"Okay, follow me, hey, tell Donovan to come to the drawing room."

Klaus-san told the guild staff who passed by, grabbed my nape and started climbing the stairs.

At Volzard, is it natural to grab and carry me by my nape?

As soon as I was seated on the sofa in the drawing room, Donovan-san appeared with heavy footsteps.

"You called? Hmm, Kent huh, is it about the genus?"

"Oh, I came about the matter of undead kobolds."

"Didn't you say you were going to increase the number of lizardmen?"

"Yes, I wanted a genus with maneuverability, so I increased the number by 33 undead kobolds."

"What? Thirty-three of them, you can have so many?"

"Well, I've increased it a lot."

Even Klaus-san was surprised because he didn't think I had increased so much.

"Yes, if I increase the number, when I'm out to Resenburg, I can be notified immediately if something goes wrong at Volzard, and if there's any news, I'll be able to move back and deal with it."

"I see, they're messengers, bring them out a moment."

"Yes, Mart, Mirt, Murt, come out."

From the shadow of the sofa, the three of them popped out.

"Uuu ... Goshujin-sama, is this an enemy?"

"No, no, he's someone who takes care of me, so don't attack."

"Uuu ... I understand ..."

When I stroke its head, Mart squints comfotably, and Mirt and Murt also rub their heads so I stroke them.

"The kobold spoke ..."

"The undead lizardmen also spoke."

"Seriously ..."

Perhaps because they heard that Klaus-san wasn't an enemy, Mart and the others went up to the sofa, resting their heads on my lap and leaning on my shoulders.

"Hmm ... they look like a pet."

"Yes, I thought about being like this when I was strengthening them."

"Goshujin-sama, stroke me, stroke me."

Murt is in full relax mode, showing its stomach.

"Hey, is this all right?"

"Of course, but when the time comes, I think they can instant kill orcs."

"Seriously ... So, are you going to use these guys to finally proceed with the rescue operation?"

"Yes, I'm thinking of bringing everyone to Volzard in the next operation."

"After that?"

"After that, depending on the negotiations with Camilla, we aim to return to our original world."

"Kent, are you going back?"

"That ... I'm still not sure ..."

To be honest, my heart is leaning towards staying.

I think in this world, I can definitely be useful.

Klaus-san stared at my face, pondered for a moment, nodded a little, and then started talking.

"Kent, if you say you're going to stay in Volzard, you can think of a relationship with Beatrice ... but! You can't touch another woman!"

"Haa ... Umm, I'm not actively pursuing Beatrice ..."

"What's that, it seems that Rise isn't attactive enough for you to put your hands on her!"

"No, you said you would kill me if I put my hands on her."

"Obviously, if you put your hands on her, I'll kill you, but it's rude not to put your hands on her."

"No, I don't understand what you're saying, it's troublesome."

When the idiot parent said something incomprehensible, Mirt suddenly interrupted us.

"Goshujin-sama is ours."

"Huh ...?"

"That's right, goshujin-sama is ours so come on ..."

"Yes ...?"

Mart, Mirt, and Murt rub their heads against me, with a look as if its natural.

Hmm? Did I make a mistake in how to strengthen them ...?

"Fuhaha, yeah, you can't help it if you have such a cute family, yeah, I'll tell Rise to give up."

"Ah ... um ... eh ..."

"Kent, the notification document is okay with saying 33? Oh, and we don't handle marriage documents in the guild."

"No, I don't mean that ... eh ..."

It's strange, I talked to Manon about the chairman, and although the number of genus increased and I should have been moving forward smoothly, I feel like I've taken off in the wrong direction.
