The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Rabbit before mine.

She then put the hand that had cast the spell back into her coat.

However, I could see fresh blood dripping at her feet.

Upon seeing that I unconsciously rushed back to her.

 

「Silverie, are you okay?! Why didn’t you use Safe Protection!」

「Because it’s not necessary.
Don’t make such a fuss.」

「Just let me see it!」

 

Silverie seemed uninterested as I took out her hand and folded back her coat.

Just as I was about to cast healing my hand stopped.
That was because I saw that Silverie’s familiar Kuro was licking her wound.

And in just an instant the wound closed up.

 

「… See, I told you.
Something like this will heal just by licking it.
I rarely suffer any wounds so it’s fine.」

「B-But…」

「Safe Protection’s magic power consumption is great.
In this kind of hunting place, it’s more efficient to use that magic power on attacking.
… Well then, let’s go.」 said Silverie without letting me answer.

 

In a sense what she was saying was correct.
Still what was she planning on doing if something bad ended up happening.

She really is careless.

 

「Good grief, don’t make me worry that much…」 I said quietly.
Silverie was walking before me when she suddenly stopped.

「You… were worried about me?」

「Of course.」

「About me… I see…」 she started mumbling something.
She then suddenly turned towards me.

「… I got it.
I’ll use Safe Protection from now on.」

「T-That’s great…」

 

It’s fine as long as she understands but Silverie’s not the type of person to listen to my words so easily. I feel like she changed after that accident at the snow mountain. Did she perhaps eat something bad? Either way, it will be bad if I ruin her mood, so I’ll just change the topic.

 

「By the way, was that thing that you used just now Black Zero?」

「Yes.」

When she defeated the Lucky Rabbit I felt a violent wind blow next to me, so I had thought that she had probably used that spell, and it seems like I was correct.

However, there was one thing that I couldn’t put my finger on.

 

「Wasn’t the activation way too fast? Black Zero usually needs quite the long chant in order to use it…」

「I’m decked out with cards that reduce chant time.
After all, if I am to hunt in this place, where there are strong monsters, as well as annoying monsters that can attack from long-range, it’s more efficient to cut the chant time and take them out in a single sweep with a single Great Spell.
Black Zero’s chant usually consists of four bars which each take close to four seconds to chant.
However, with the chant reducing cards I can lower that to one bar allowing me to chant it in only eight seconds.
And if my magic power runs dry I can always drink a recovery potion and fill it back up.」

 「I see, that’s indeed so…」

「I always specialize my equipment for the hunting spot that I’m going to.
It does cost money, but that way it’s more efficient, wouldn’t you say so?」

 

Silverie unusually became very talkative when she tried to answer my question.

She was the type that became very talkative when it came to battle or magic.

I just kept nodding and listening to her talk excitedly.

In the previous world when Silverie’s mood had been bad, or when she had grown tired of a certain topic I could always come back to either of those topics to cheer her up.

 

「Until when will you be free today.」 I asked her.

「… I don’t have anything else to do.」

「Is that so, well then what do you say about staying with me for the whole day?」

「… Okay.」 whispered Silverie.

 

I see. I finally feel like I got it. In the past Silverie seemed like the type of person that hated people, however now she seems like she’s actively trying to get closer to them. Did she change this much because she met me I wonder? Now it might be okay even if I call Milly and the others. The sun is beginning to show so Milly and the others should wake up soon.
I should try and call them via Telepathy.

 

《Hey, is someone up?》

《Zeph-kun! Are you hunting alone again today?》

《Yea, I’m in the usual spot.
I want you all to come after you’ve woken up.》

《Understood.》

 

It seemed like Claude was the only one that was up.

Well it’s still early so I guess it’s normal. Still, I guess that the others will wake up soon as well.

While I was talking to Claude using Telepathy Silverie took the time to use Black Zero and take down another Lucky Rabbit.

I used the chance to use Scout Scope just as the Lucky Rabbit died and noticed that it had sustained damage that was just a bit over its total Magic Power.

Silverie was probably controlling her spell in order not to cause too much excess damage.

While following behind her I was thinking that despite her being quite meticulous about those things, her lifestyle was still quite sloppy.
