Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 16

Good news . Asagi Kamiyas.h.i.+ro can use magic . Ice and water . And a little fire too . I can’t believe it, this is amazing . A humble convenience store clerk like me can use magic . So, just how do you use it? You just think about it?

“What is important is to visualize it . The image created in your mind becomes fuel for the energy inside you and the phenomenon occurs . The chanting works as a kind of support to that . If you can visualize it well, you won’t even need to chant . Just as I have no need to . ”

I guess there was no cheat for that . Magicians must have to work really hard to get to that point . I should give it a shot .

Let’s see… I’m supposed to be good with ice, so maybe I’ll try to cool the moisture in the air and lower the temperature .

“Mmm… . mmmm… . ”

I imagine that I’m emanating magical energy that spreads throughout the room . Then I rob the moisture of heat and begin to cool it .

“Asagi . ”

“Mmm…!”

“Mmmggg…what?”

“It’s cold . ”

Oh . My breath had turned white . Success . That wasn’t too hard . Didn’t take too long either . This could be pretty fun if I could instantly create ice .

I thought about returning the temperature back to normal as I used fire magic, until my breath was no longer visible . Then I shut it off before it got too warm .

“You learn fast, Asagi . You can visualize things well . I think you should be able to use lots of different magic in no time . ”

“I hope so . ”

In fact, I was sure that this magic was affected by ‘Jack of all trades . ’

As it was a power not visible to the naked eye, I did not see the typical split-screen inside of my head . It was hard to believe that I could use it so easily when it was my first time . And it was not as if I had any special settings as the protagonist .

Though, it likely meant that I would only be able to use very common spells at best . But I wasn’t about to whine . This was still magic . It was like I was in a dream .

After that, Daniela and I talked about magic until she slowly started to doze off . And so she went to her bed to sleep and I went to my desk to sleep . I suppose I was quite tired after all . Though, I didn’t dream that night .

There was something depressing about seeing the sunrise through iron bars . It did nothing to raise your spirits . It was as if I had been thrown into prison for a crime that I had no memory of .

Sighing, I stand up and stretch my limbs . Daniela was still curled up in her bed and sleeping peacefully . Seeing her sleeping like that, I felt justified in having given up the bed, and I smile . Now that my stiff joints were loosened, I was wondering what I should do next, when the door was knocked from the other side .

“Yes . ”

“Asagi? Good morning . Sleep well?”

“Morning, Russell . Uh, the desk was very comfortable, yes . ”

“Hahaha, glad to hear it . Listen . We finished arresting all the men who hara.s.sed you this morning . They’ve all been thrown into a cell for now . ”

“I knew you’d get it done . ”

“Those men, we had to chase them all over town . Finally, they grew tired and we knocked them down and tied them up . It was nothing!”

He laughed boisterously . The captain was different from the rest . That guard last night could learn a thing or two from him .

Then Daniela stirred .

“Mm…what…is that noise…”

“Good morning, Daniela . ”

“Mmm…Asagi…good…”

It seemed like she wasn’t good with mornings . The sharp beauty from yesterday was nowhere to be seen . The only thing that was there was a sleepy-eyed, sluggish creature with tousled hair .

“Come on, get up . We should go and wash up . ”

“Mmmm…”

I take her hand and help her to stand up . We then headed for the well in the back that I had used when first arriving here . So it was pretty familiar .

After that, we visited Russell’s room where I told him that we’d be returning to the inn to have breakfast . Apparently, Daniela wasn’t staying anywhere, and so she accompanied me .

“I’m sorry…I was going to look for an inn right after you left last night . ”

“Well, it’s not your fault . I should be sorry for getting you involved in my business . ”

“Don’t . The important thing is that we’re both safe . ”

She said and smiled, the slothful creature of the morning that was in her, had now vanished .

I explained the situation to Maris at the Spring Wind inn . She was incredibly happy to hear that the men would not be bothering me again . Then I introduced Daniela and it was decided that she would stay too .

“I’ll give you a good deal as a friend of Asagi!”

Her usual acquaintance discount made it easy for Daniela to decide .

We ate our breakfast there and then head to the guardhouse . Though, this time it was not to the one near the southern gate . It was the central guardhouse that was facing the Adventurer’s Guild near the center of the town . This place had a dungeon where the b.a.s.t.a.r.d leader and all his followers had been dumped, so they could enjoy the night together . And now we had come to identify them .

We explained what had happened the previous night at the office counter, which was quickly related to Russell and we were led through . After pa.s.sing several doors, we down a long hall that led to stairs going downward . The air suddenly became very chilly .

“Asagi, are you sure that these are the men?”

“Yes . All of them . They tried to harm me and Daniela . ”

Behind the thick iron bars sat the adventurers, bound with rope and wearing the most bitter of expressions . I, on the other hand, felt elated . I liked this!

“d.a.m.n, what fools…hahaha… What should we do with them?”

“Uh, what do you mean?”

“I have the authority to send them to the gallows . These men drew their swords . If they were ready to kill, then they should be ready to die . ”

“Ahh…”

To be honest, death for attempted murder seemed a little harsh from my point of view? Really . I knew we were in a ‘kill or be killed’ kind of world . But there were still sensibilities that I couldn’t quite escape .

“Is there any other way?”

“There is a system of enslavement for criminals . The mines at Mount Alessa in the south . ”

I see . A slave system . As a twenty-first century being, this was also not a welcoming thought . But it was at least less final than death . Well, at least in my mind .

“Daniela . What do you think?”

“Indeed… I also prefer avoiding unnecessary bloodshed . If you agree with it, I think that falling into slavery would adequate . ”

“Yes . I was thinking that too . Then that is our decision, Russell . ”

“Understood . They will be stripped of their Adventurer’s license and through the compa.s.sion of Asagi and Daniela, be sent to labor at the Alessa mines for ten years . ”

He faced us and did a sharp salute before grinning .

“You’re a kind person . But be careful that people do not take advantage of it . And come to me whenever you need help . Because I will always be your ally . ”
