You call this magic?

"This story has already ended, Your Highness. If you want to hear more, I'll have to make it up."

"Then, the story of the magician, Lady Freellian!"

"I don't really understand her, but it's okay if you want to listen."

It has been two months since I came into this world.

Two months ago, when Yu Beier came to her senses, she had already appeared in the boudoir of the little guy in front of her.

Realizing that she was separated from Ethan and Phelan, she did not panic, but quickly began to observe the environment.

Alice seemed to be in a daze at the time, and when she saw Yubel suddenly appear, she looked as if she was frightened.

Originally thinking that she was just an ordinary little princess, Yubel raised her hand and [fainted], ready to wait for an opportunity to escape, but Alice subconsciously slapped her to the ground. It was not until she was lying on the ground in a daze that she realized that the seemingly innocent and cute little princess in front of her was a being with potential so strong that she could defeat others with force.

Even many magic spells were completely ineffective against Alice... It can't be said to be ineffective, but the power in Alice's body forcibly broke the influence of most of Yubel's control magic.

Yubel felt that unless she used the [Magic of Cutting Off Everything], she would not be able to defeat this girl, but it was not really that serious. She and Alice had not reached that point yet.

As the saying goes, there is always a chance of success. Yu Bei'er is not the type of person who will fight to the end. In addition, Alice did not seem to want to do anything to her, but wanted to have a conversation, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Yu Beier easily took control of the conversation and quickly found out about her current situation and the identity of the princess in front of her.

Belzegu Stylish Sod Alice is the first princess of the Belzegu Kingdom and a descendant of a brave man.

The place where he was was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Belze.

I haven't heard of it. It seems like I have indeed arrived in a different world. If there really is a princess as powerful as Alice in my world, it is impossible for her to have no reputation at all.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement. Alice would help Yubel find out information about her companions, Ethan and Philen, within her ability, while Yubel would stay with Alice temporarily and tell her the stories she knew.

Princess Alice is very interested in other people's adventure stories. She listens to their stories with great interest, even though most of them are made up.

Of course, Yubel could use [Teleport] to escape, but she also knew that if she could get help from the kingdom, finding Ethan would become relatively easy.

There was just a small mistake. When the ancient kingdom of Belzer investigated the list of adventurers, the first place they checked was Axel, which was the farthest from the Demon King's Castle. Ethan had not arrived at that time. As a result, this place was screened out from the very beginning.

After all, no matter how hard Yubel tried, she could never have predicted that Ethan would come into this world a month later than her.

Yubel almost always appears as a black cat in the kingdom, claiming to be the familiar of Her Royal Highness the Princess and possessing unique magical abilities.

At first, Alice's two very noisy bodyguards suspected that the black cat Yubel was a demon who intended to seduce Alice, but after the people from the Church of Eris came to take a look, they said that there was not a trace of demonic aura, so Yubel was allowed to live in Alice's personal castle openly until today.

As for how she got to her current position, that is another story.

Time returns to the present.

Alice was holding her face, listening attentively to Yubel telling the story of the Brave Squad. However, halfway through the story, Alice suddenly looked up, stood up abruptly, her pupils trembling, and her little mouth opening and closing.

"Your Highness Alice, what do you feel?" Yu Beier raised her eyebrows.

"That's the power of a hero, but it's different from mine." Alice's face gradually showed curiosity. "The power of a hero is appearing in that direction."

Yu Beier looked in the direction her finger pointed, thought for a moment, and then said, "That side seems to be in the opposite direction of the Demon King's Castle."

"A brave man recognized by the world must have appeared."

Alice clasped her hands together, her face looking pious, and her eyes seemed to contain expectations for the future.

"The day when the Demon King is destroyed is surely not far off."

Yu Bei'er next to her was thinking about something else.

If I remember correctly, the ancient Kingdom of Belzer had a custom of betrothing the princess to the hero who destroyed the demon king.

Yu Beier had to admit that if she were a man, she would definitely be attracted to Alice.

This girl is excellent in every aspect, but she is still too young.

I don’t know which lucky guy will get the benefit in the end.

……

"Um……"

With a soft moan like a spoiled child, Wiz slowly opened her eyes.

Then I saw Ethan sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You're finally awake, Wiz."

“Eh?” Almost instantly, Wiz’s mind cleared up, and she fell into confusion. “Huh? Um, eh? Eh?”

"Don't you remember? You were unconscious on the city wall. I found you on my way back... So, how did you faint? I didn't see any external injuries on your body."

"I, I don't know either..." The kind-hearted Wiz certainly wouldn't say that he was crushed by Ethan's brave power. "But, it might be a little anemic."

Ethan hesitated to speak.

The lich is in a coma due to anemia. Do you believe it if I tell you?

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 18: What a Wonderful Girl

Wiz looked very tired, and it wasn't long before his eyelids began to twitch.

Rather than being anemic, she now looked more like someone who had experienced a real battle and had exhausted all her magic power.

But in fact, her magic power has not diminished.

Looking at Wiz who closed his eyes again and was about to fall asleep again, an embarrassed look slowly appeared on Ethan's face.

At this point, he probably understood what was going on.

Not long ago, he killed the headless knight Beldia with a single sword strike. He did it fairly and killed this powerful man head-on.

In the original work, he was destroyed purely because he met an unexpected character, Aqua, the goddess of water who could perfectly restrain the undead creatures. He was toyed with by Kazuma's tricks and died miserably. His death was quite funny.

Even if only Aqua's resurrection magic was missing, the situation wouldn't be so funny.

This time, although Ethan also used the [Sword of the Brave] which perfectly restrained evil creatures, he also killed Beldia head-on. He seemed to have something to say at the end, but when Ethan was about to listen to what Beldia wanted to say, the Sword of the Brave suddenly burst out with a powerful aura centered on Beldia's body.

It's like the range of the nuclear kick of the legendary Kamen Rider, Sublimated Almighty Kuuga, which is even far beyond it, but the [Brave Sword] at least doesn't have large-scale physical damage, it's just aura.

Rather than an accident, Ethan felt that it was more like a demonstration by the [Sword of the Brave] against the evil creatures in this world.

Wiz must have been suddenly confused by this breath and realized that it was Ethan who did it. His kind nature did not want Ethan to feel guilty, so he made up a lie about anemia.

What a nice girl.

After covering Wiz with the quilt again and tidying up the room a little, Ethan closed the door.

Also, next time, no matter what the situation is, he will knock on the door before entering, or at least shout first.

He didn't want to trigger anyone else's lucky pervert incident.

That was a disaster.

……

At night in Axel, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of [Seasonal Event: Cabbage Attack]. As for the powerful shock that came from nowhere in the afternoon, it had no effect on ordinary people. They would only feel a comfortable breeze blowing across their faces.

Since Ethan hadn't made any contribution, he didn't blend into the crowd, but quietly went back to the house to rest.

His current residence is a cheap hotel, and he also rented it for the other three people on a long-term basis. It would be cheaper if he paid on a monthly basis. Ethan only needed to kill a few more toads.

The next day, Ethan brought Kazuma and his three companions, who had made a fortune and were all smiling, to the Adventurer's Guild.

"What on earth did the boss do yesterday?" Kazuma put his hands behind his head and walked beside Ethan. Then he seemed to think of something and showed a slightly perverted expression, "Could it be that there was a woman?"

Then he made a circle with his left thumb and index finger, and moved his right index finger in and out of the circle.

Ethan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped Kazuma on the back. "What nonsense are you talking about? I just found a dangerous guy yesterday and took him out."

"It hurts! Boss, can you be gentler next time? My small body can't withstand a few more hits from you." Kazuma said with a bitter face, but a smile immediately appeared on his face again.

Yesterday, Kazuma earned the most money because he ran several rounds and earned more than 600,000 Eris. The other three girls earned 150,000 each, which was not much but was acceptable.

As expected of a seasonal event, it's meant to help ordinary adventurers make money.

As for why cabbage is so valuable, it is because this thing has magical powers. Adventurers can increase their experience points by eating it. In other words, if there is no bottleneck, adventurers can directly reach a high level by continuously eating cabbage, but the experience point demand in the later stage is definitely not met by cabbage.

Today, as usual, Ethan led his four-person team to complete basic tasks to upgrade their levels. The road to leveling up is long and arduous, so there can be no slacking off.

Everything was normal during the day, but at night, the five people returned to the guild. Shortly after they handed the adventurer cards to the lady at the counter to verify the number of subjugation kills, they heard a sudden cry of surprise from the staff's office, followed by hurried footsteps.

The lady at the counter rushed to Ethan at an extremely fast speed. She was even panting because she ran so fast, and an inexplicable light appeared in her eyes: "Is that true?"

"What?" Ethan seemed to understand what was going on.

It must be that his killing of the Headless Horseman Beldia was discovered.

The main reason was that Ethan didn't realize this problem. Based on his past experience of playing games, he should not have recorded this kind of crusade mission before accepting the mission, but this is not a game.

The monsters he defeated would be marked on his adventurer card.

When they heard that Ethan had single-handedly killed a cadre of the Demon King's army, the entire guild was in an uproar, and soon the area was surrounded by a crowd of people.

The adventurers came up to Ethan one after another, some wanting to get to know him, some wanting to know the details of the crusade, and some excitedly planning to shake his hand.

Everyone has been aware of Ethan's strength for a long time, but no one expected that Ethan was so strong.

"What? Boss Ethan actually went to defeat the Demon King's army cadres without our knowledge!" He Zhenren was stunned. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, angrily saying, "Why, why didn't Boss take me with him?"

"What, Kazuma, you also have the ambition to defeat the cadres of the Demon King's army? Not bad, let this goddess praise you--" Aqua was very moved, after all, this was her main mission.

"I also want the experience points and bounty from the subjugation!" After Kazuma said the second half of the sentence, Aqua's smile froze.

"You're actually after money, something as superficial as money! Shouldn't you be working hard to defeat the Demon King and send me back to heaven?!"

"Shut up, Aqua! Don't you even have to work part-time every day just to make money?"

"Working is to experience life in the world..."

"When you die and are sent to the crematorium, this mouth of yours will definitely take center stage among the ashes! You're such a tough talker!"

“Wa ...

The two started fighting again, but were soon covered by the crowd.

"Kukuku, you are worthy of being the boss I recognize. I believe the finishing blow must be an invincible explosive magic, right, right, right?" There was a gleam in Huihui's eyes, which made Ethan turn his head away.

"Ah, no, that's right."

This is just a white lie.

“Hey, did you hear that, everyone?” Huihui waved her hand with an arrogant look, her cape fluttering in the wind behind her. “The invincible ultimate magic, Explosion Magic, is the final answer to destroying the Demon King. Wahahahahaha! Feel the power of Explosion Magic!”

At this moment, in an unnoticed corner, Darkness was breathing heavily and enjoying the feeling of being left alone.

Well, let her be.

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 19: The Customer of the Magic Tool Shop

In Wiz's magic tool shop, Ethan sat quietly beside Wiz's bed.

After that, Ethan came to Wiz's shop every day to help her sleep.

Yes, it helps with sleeping.

After being washed by the power of the hero, her body has been affected by that power. Although a lich of her strength can slowly recover her own abilities, it may take a long time. Although Wiz did not say it explicitly, in Ethan's eyes, this is already an obvious serious injury.

After all, she even said something like "I'm going to temporarily close the business and travel for a month", so it's obviously not an ordinary injury.

This is the result of his power, so he must clean up the mess.

After testing, Ethan discovered that among the death magics, [Fia Smoke] was the most helpful to Wiz. It could form a death smoke that would linger in the room for a long time. Ordinary adventurers would die within a minute if they stayed in this smoke, but for Wiz, the King of the Undead, it was almost as effective as an oxygen bar.

Wiz, who was disturbed by the power of the hero, could only sleep peacefully in the [Fia Mist] these days and heal her body in her sleep.

Therefore, Ethan stayed in Wiz's room every day to maintain the effect of [Fia Smoke] for a long time.

It didn't have much impact on him. He just changed the place to meditate. Anyway, the [Fia Smoke] he released would not affect him. As long as the spread of the smoke was limited, it would not affect others.

As for Kazuma and the other three, Ethan simply let them move freely. Beldia was already dead, so there wouldn't be the situation in the original work where weak monsters lay dormant, resulting in the guild having no novice missions to take.

But this will cause a problem, that is, Wiz has been dormant for a long time and no one is managing her shop.

So Ethan decided to close the store for a few days and wait until Wiz fully recovered before continuing.

Otherwise, Ethan can't possibly cosplay as Wiz and open a store himself.

This really doesn't work.

On the fifth day after Ethan forcibly closed the store, someone knocked on Wiz's door.
