The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 21

—At Lydia’s house.

「This is my house!」

When I arrived in front of Lydia’s house, it seems that she owned a flower shop.

No, when I took a good look into her shop, there was a display of axes and blunt weapons arranged on the front display with price tags on them.

「Is this a flower shop? Or is this a weapons shop? Which one is it? 」

「It’s both, because I love both flowers and weapons」

Oi Oi.

It this kind of shop really okay? Whilst I was thinking such things I entered the shop, and inside, it was actually quite flouris.h.i.+ng.

There were customers who were seeking weapons, yet at the same time there were also customers that wanted to shop for flowers.

Weapons and Flowers, both products were of high quality, and there was a strange kind of co-existence/collaboration of the two things.

It was an unusual array of goods.

「Welcome! Welcome! 」(TL: Come on in! etc.)

Lydia let out a cheerful greeting to her customers as she entered her own shop, when I followed behind Lydia into the interior of the shop, there was one big person standing in the counter of the shop calling out to us.

「Welcome home, Lydia」

「I’m homee, Father」

His guts were protruding out of his stomach, and he was as big sideways as he was tall, I mean Lydia was also quite tall, but her father was on another level.

As expected, like father like daughter.

「Hmm? Who’s that kid? 」

「Ahh, His name is Zeph-kun. Even if he looks like this he’s actually quite the adventurer」

「It’s nice to meet you」

Her father nods slightly and begins to stare at me with a measuring look with his eagle eyes.

「…….Is it your new boyfriend? 」

「Bakaa(idiott) ! Obviously that’s not the case! 」

She stuck out her tongue〜, and held out her hands towards me alluringly.

She proceeded to grab my hands and pulled me towards the interior of the house.

Looking at the situation, the father seems to be grinning as he watched us.

We pa.s.sed along a small smelting furnace and boiler, it was a workshop where steel and wooden materials were piled up.

「This is where we make our weapons/arms」

「It’s amazing, the equipment are all high quality」

「Even if you say that, it’s all the materials father has gathered over the years」

Even though I may not be well acquainted in regards to these types of things, I can see with my amateur eyes that these equipment will surely be worth a huge sum of money if they are sold.

Being able to forge the weapons himself and make a living, her father must be considerably skilled.

「By the way, I just wanted to make sure of something, Zeph-kun, you are actually a magician right? And a really strong one at that」

「……….How did you find out? I don’ think I’ve ever mentioned such a thing」

「well, it was just a feeling/hunch I had. Nothing more than a guess」

I stared at her with eyes of precaution, and she returned an innocent answer,

Hmm……She’s a really mysterious person. (I can’t get a read on her)

「Well another thing is that you seem to be letting out a peculiar aura of a really strong magician, most likely my father has also noticed it?」

Both father and child are really sharp people.

Although it was not actually possible to discern my Magical Power without using Scout Scope. A skilled adventurer may be able to “Sense” my magical power without actually possessing magical power themselves.

In other words, both Lydia and her father must be excellent adventurers.

「And the thing I wanted to talk to you about is」

She interrupted my train of thought, and continued on with her story.

Man she is a really talkative one.

「Tonight, there will be large quant.i.ties of Nippers in the cavern at the beach side. And I wanted you to come help me hunt them」

Nippers are demons who had big red sh.e.l.ls on their backs and large scissors as pincers. (TL: seems like a crab to me
