The brave Simmel wants to resign

Because of being ostracized by non-sorcerers in her early years, she developed a strong aversion to them. Although she later came into contact with sorcerers by chance, she was rejected by the old-fashioned people in Kyoto because her own spells were too 'modern,' leading to a deep hatred for traditional sorcerers.

After encountering Haibara, he was tricked into joining this small group by Haibara's sunny and cheerful appearance.

She is the financial manager within the small group. Her techniques are completely non-destructive, but highly versatile.

[Half-gold trick]

The spell's effect is: to purchase any substance for 1.5 times its value, and then the purchased substance will be converted into an asset, which can be unconditionally revealed to the spellcaster.

The procedure is quite complex.

The first step is to understand the "asset." This object cannot be something you've only heard about; you must have actually touched it, and the "asset" must be ownerless.

The second step requires valuation. Valuation can only be done once. If it's something like a car or a house, it's naturally very simple. But if it's something else without a clear price tag, the situation becomes much more complicated.

The item will only be eligible for purchase if the difference between the valuation result and the actual result is within 10%. If this fails, the asset will be permanently ineligible for purchase.

The third step is to purchase it for 1.5 times its actual value, where the amount is in real-world currency.

The fourth step is that when needed, the assets can be displayed in front of you through incantation.

The effects of this technique are quite terrifying, and its potential is visibly high.

With enough money, one could even purchase a nuclear bomb.

However—it's not actually that simple.

Putting aside the fact that high-powered weapons require channels, most warlocks don't have that much money, and the valuation amount is not fixed. If the warlock lacks experience, the attempt will likely fail. Finally, if it is a very valuable asset, the magical power required to materialize it will be enormous.

However, even taking all of these into account, it must be said that—

Manami's technique is a genuine [space-time technique].

He and Wu Tiao Wu, Liao Wang, took the river and looked at it.

In the wild, they relied mainly on food summoned by Mana Art to survive.

However, in the current situation, Manami has another use.

[Technique Reversal]

Unlike reversal spells, spell reversal simply reveals another possibility of the generated spell.

Advanced spells are extremely difficult for ordinary people to master.

However, it is clear that the gluttonous emperor stole the gluttonous ...

Manami Suda was arrested five years ago.

He is a user of technique reversal.

The [Half-Gold Transformation] technique's reversal effect—

If the function of the Life-Giving Spell is to transfer 'assets' to the warlock, then the reversed function is to transfer the warlock to the 'assets'.

That's right.

Long-distance transfer

The procedure requires many prerequisites, but it is indeed the optimal solution at this time, and it is also the best solution for the specific situation.

"【Spell Deployment】"

During the run, Manami completed the prerequisites for the technique.

Then, an ancient circular magic circle appeared beneath their feet, with densely packed scriptures spinning rapidly.

“How much longer will the transfer take?” Miguel asked.

"Two minutes and thirty seconds, my technique is still not very proficient."

The actual transfer takes five minutes, but Manami had already begun preparing for the procedure well in advance.

At this moment, she could feel her strength being rapidly depleted.

Although it doesn't require the magical power of 'four people including myself' like a normal spell, the consumption of reversing the spell is still enormous. Even well-maintained hair shows signs of dryness, and I'm constantly panting.

Laru comforted him from the side, while Miguel looked towards the direction of the battlefield.

Two minutes and thirty seconds.

Is it possible for Haibara to stall for time?

boom!boom!

From his perspective, all he could see were the constant explosions.

(Looks like he got beaten up pretty badly.)

Miguel clicked his tongue.

Actually, he wasn't very worried.

Within this small group, only Manami has a slightly naive and innocent personality and trusts Haibara.

Miguel and Laru, as foreigners, were the ones who, like many others, were introduced to the country. Their presence in the country was a mystery, and they were often seen as outsiders.

Haibara never made them do anything illegal or disorderly; at most, they just helped each other out.

Miguel also finds it difficult to think of 'partners'; at most, they are just acquaintances.

However, the 'Yi' bone is an exception.

That trembling, fearful look was like seeing a weak, undisguised fellow human to these otherworldly sorcerers.

Once their wariness is dispelled, their natural protective instincts kick in.

Looking at Manami's expression, it's clear that she genuinely wanted to protect Etotsu, and it was at this moment that this small group began to develop into 'partners'.

Only two days have passed since then.

Because he couldn't see through her, Miguel still didn't trust Haibara.

At this point, the primary task is to protect yourself.

"Aren't we going to rescue Mr. Haibara!?"

However, it was clear that Yi Gu did not possess the composure of Miguel and the others; at this moment, his face still bore the lingering fear and anxiety.

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

He lacks the ability; saying such things is like saying, "Why don't you go save Haibara?"

Of course, everyone treated him as a junior, so no one blamed him.

“Haibara has her own trump card.” Miguel put his hands on his hips. “She’s the one we don’t need to worry about the most. Don’t worry, what we need to do is prioritize protecting ourselves.”

Yi Gu nodded timidly upon hearing this.

He wasn't a seasoned sorcerer, but he could vaguely sense that Miguel was the strongest among this group, aside from Haibara, and very reliable.

Just as he was thinking this—

"God damn!"

Miguel's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the sky in a direction different from where Haibara was fighting.

Yi Gu followed his gaze.

call--

A strong wind swept past, carrying away fallen leaves.

Facing the sun, a dark shadow was imprinted in the center of my field of vision.

Its tail was enveloped in a rapid flow of air; that was...

A broom?

A floating broom?

Could it be that spells are actually magic? Is this Harry Potter?

The yi bone was difficult to understand, and for a moment his thoughts were in chaos.

At this moment, the focus shifts to the broom.

There were three people sitting up there: one man and two women.

Two girls, seemingly around JK (high school girl) age, flanked the man in the middle. The girl behind them had flaxen blonde hair and hugged the young man in the middle, speaking in a sticky, affectionate tone.

"Hey Simmel, come with us to the shopping street after the mission is over. The cream puff shop I told you about last time is really hard to get a table at."

"Nanako, don't push your way in."

Before the man in the middle could speak, the girl at the front, with shoulder-length black hair and a quiet demeanor, started to complain.

"Ugh... but it's so narrow here! Mimiko, move forward a little!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, Simmel isn't very good at using magic!"

"Then why not just use magic!"

The two started arguing, but there wasn't much tension between them.

The young man in the middle was not annoyed by this and raised his hand to block between the two.

"Sure."

The voice was clear and calm.

"Let's go after the mission is over. Ah, I remember Mimi also said that she wanted to have another plush toy by her bedside. It would be nice to go to the arcade to play claw machines after we buy the cream puffs."

"May I?"

The girl named Mimiko was overjoyed, perhaps because the young man remembered what she wanted.

"OK!"

Nanako was also excited, looking down.

"Then let's go!"

call!--

After strengthening their physical bodies with magical power, they jump down from a specific height.

Even a level 2 sorcerer can smash through several buildings with their bare body and emerge unscathed; descending from a great height is not a difficult task for a sorcerer.
