I had come to visit Isis-san’s castle in the Land of Death, Demon Realm, and after having tea with Isis-san, I played with Eul.
Eul had this small sphere floating on the tip of her ten tails and was showing me the sight of her manipulating it at will.
[Kyuu!]
[Ohh, that’s amazing, Eul. You can do this much with your magic huh.]
[Kyuu~~]It seemed like she already had a higher level of Magic Manipulation Skill than me, but I already gave up on that long ago, so I honestly admired Eul’s efforts.
When I patted Eul’s head, as she seemed to want some kind of praise, Eul happily wagged her tail and clung to me like a spoiled child. What a cute child.
[……Geez, she’s already on that level huh?]
[……Unnn…… Eul’s Magic Manipulation Skill…… is already…… on the level of a High-Rank Demon…… Eul is an amazing child.]
[Her speed of growth really is quite fast.]
As expected, Eul feels like a genius, or rather, she seems to have enough talent to impress even Isis-san. In fact, she was able to use magic in no time at all, so I think there’s no doubting that.
I’ve never seen it in person, but it seems that she can even use a knife and fork with her tail to eat. Well, when I look at her like this, she feels more like an affectionate and cute child……Just like that, after playing with Eul with Isis-san for a while, it was about time for us to go home. Since I can’t use Teleportation Magic in Isis-san’s castle, I need to go outside before using it, so I walked down the corridor to the entrance.
Isis-san offered to walk me to the entrance, but Eul, who was tired after playing, had fallen asleep on Isis-san’s lap, and I didn’t want to wake her up, so I went to the entrance by myself.
I had been to Isis-san’s castle often, so I walked down the hallway to the entrance without hesitation, but on the way, I was approached by someone I didn’t expect.
[Oya? Are you going back already?]
[Ahh, Rasal-san. Yes, I thought it was time for me to go home…… Eul had already fallen asleep on Isis-san’s lap after all.]
[Ahhh, I see…… Fumu, in that case, this is just great. Would it be alright if I take some of your time, Miyama Kaito-sama?]
[Eh? Ah, yes. It’s alright.]
The woman who approached me was one of Isis-san’s subordinates, wearing a hood and carrying a large coffin…… Rasal Marfik.
Rasal-san was previously introduced to me by Isis-san, and I briefly exchanged greetings with her, but she wasn’t someone I talked to that much. I know that she’s a famous Necromancer here in the Demon Realm, and that she’s an acquaintance of Sechs-san but……
[Actually, I would like to ask for a little help from Miyama Kaito-sama……]
[Me? What is it?]
[For personal use, I would like to purchase a large number of high-purity magic crystals. It’s just, according to the contract between Isis-sama and Kuromu-sama, Kuromu-sama has the rights to the magic crystals collected in the Land of Death, so if I use it personally, I would end up troubling Isis-sama…… Thus, I want to buy it myself somehow, but I don’t have any contacts, so I’m having a bit of trouble.]
[Ahh, I see, that’s why you called for me……]
[Yes. I know this is a very impolite request, but I was wondering if you could introduce me to any contacts you might have.]
I think about what Rasal-san said. When it comes to contacts where I can purchase magic crystals, the first person that comes to mind…… is Tre-san. As I recall, she said she was a Special Advisor to the Magic Crystal Department.
However, having such a thought in mind, one question pops into my mind. If we are dealing with the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, isn’t Rasal-san acquainted with Sechs-san?
No, wait. Come to think of it, I think Sechs-san mentioned something like Rasal-san not even remembering Sechs-san’s name, so it’s possible that she doesn’t know how to contact him.
[Errr, I’m acquainted with the Special Advisor of the Magic Crystal Division of Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, so how about I introduce you to her?]
[Ohh, that would be very helpful. I would be grateful for that.]
[I understand. For the time being, I will check her schedule and contact you again.]
[I understand. I apologize for the trouble I have caused you. I’ll make sure to repay this debt later.]
Telling Rasal-san, who bowed her head politely, not to worry about it, I then left isis-san’s castle.
For the time being, I would contact Tre-san, and have Sechs-san attend that meeting if possible. That would probably make the conversation smoother.
I mean, I can’t predict what kind of conversation will take place between Tre-san and Rasal-san meeting face-to-face…… so I would feel more relieved if Sechs-san was there.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, Rasal and Sechs haven’t met again yet…… Seriously, I wonder how the conversation between them would turn out?]
