Goddess Corter
Magic (1)

It was probably early in the morning, I don't know, there's no clock in the world. To be sure, the sky is still dark blue and the streets are not too crowded. Sometimes I look out the window, but spend more time sitting on the bed.

Last night was terrible, I woke up, fell asleep, woke up again, and fell asleep again. Without knowing it, day

it was morning and my rest was not enough. Well, there was no choice but to wait for the day enough to come to the Guild, so I could only sit down.

In front of me, I placed 13 dull bronze coins. What can I buy from this coin? I just realized

it turns out that Goddesses like me do not need food, so if I use this money to satisfy the tongue alone it feels free.

I still have time to stay until later tonight, it's 24 hours. It doesn't matter if I

use this money to increase your stay. I will also come here often.

God, I don't even know how bad things are in Akarka. I want to give this money there, but if

all I gave was this small, the impression was like I was fooling them.

In the end, only I alone can spend this money.

Boredom drove me crazy, Seiren used to talk to me many times, but the conversation was too serious that I was bored. Not to mention in this room, all I could do was pacing around and rolling around on the bed.

Well, whatever, I want to take a shower first. Come to think of it, since soaking in Akarka, I haven't had a bath at all. But take it easy, this body is too sacred to be able to produce a bad scent. Although there is a little stain, in fact my body remains fragrant and beautiful.

I got out of the inn, and started walking down the streets of the city.

The inns I live in are very strategic, there are many inns also around this. Even if I go down the straight path further, there will be a market that is usually very crowded. In essence, my current goal is to visit that market.

I was guessing that the market was actually crowded, and that guess was accurate. Good in any world, either,

the market is a place that is crowded in the morning. Well, I've studied some market culture in a foreign country.

As always I walk with my hands behind my back, I look around,

left and right, explore every booth established. Vegetables, fruits, meat, until the food becomes like shaved ice.

“Seiren, which do you think I should buy, fruits or shaved ice?”

My toot.

“It looks like better fruits, miss.. not only the benefits, but.”

“Yes, whatever, I want shaved ice.”

Ignoring the advice from Seiren, I walked while humming to the iceman. The dealer is a grown man

who had a friendly smile, dimples and narrowed eyes made her smile look very natural. He was already serving the children at that time.

“Pak... make me one!”

My speech. Of course with a very wide smile.”

“Alright, young miss.”

He took out a block of ice, then gritted it using a blade mounted on a wooden board. The result of shavings ice is placed into a thin wooden container, then on the ice it is given a colorful syrup. Well, there's a wooden spoon in that container, too.

“This, please.”

“Huwaa!!.. How much is sir?”

“1 bronze coin only.”

I gave 1 bronze coin to the ice sword. That is a very reasonable price when compared to

it looks interesting. Actually the unnatural is the rental price of my room, it's too cheap to be able to shelter and sleep there.

Well, whatever, it's time to enjoy this paradise meal first.

There was a wooden bench, not far from the market. I'm sitting on that bench, it's not a market area anymore. But because of the one direction with the market, there were many people passing in front of me. It's actually a little embarrassing to have to eat shaved ice with a satisfied face, the problem is that this is children's food.

Whatever, my girlfriends at the office also sometimes turn childish when eating something sweet.

I ate it voraciously, so voraciously, that Seiren reminded me constantly not to

choking on still rough ice. Regardless of such warnings, I was already overwhelmed by the coldness of the ice and the sweetness of the syrup.

“Corter?”

“Hm?”

Suddenly, while I was exploring ice heaven, someone called out to me. The sound was not far from my place

sit. Rather than being said to be not far away, it was more precisely the voice right next to me.

The one who called me was my partner, Rayen.

“R-rayen? Why are you here?”

“Eh? I should have asked that. Every day I shop at the market to buy groceries all day. But. I can't believe you're here, too.”

The wooden spoon still stuck in my mouth as I listened to Rayen speak.

In a moment, I realized what I was doing was really embarrassing. Eating children's food

in front of my friend, even though I am a woman, the shame remains. I immediately removed the spoon, hiding it along with the shaved ice container next to my body. Rayen shouldn't be able to see it now.

“Yeah, don't you hide it I've seen it.”

I can only be ashamed of that. Without thinking any further, I took it back and started

eat it slowly with doubt.

Rayen was sitting next to me casually, it made me even more nervous.

“But, still I did not expect that Corter is the woman who as usual. I think you were more mysterious.”.

Rayen.

“... Why? What's wrong with acting like a woman in general?”

“Of course not.. I'd rather you behave like that.”

“..”

Rayen said it with a very sincere smile. His face, which was only a meter away from me, made my gaze only be able to be fixed on him. Not to mention, that last sentence sounded like a compliment.

‘I'd rather you behave like that’. The words kept being heard over and over again in my head. Does he not understand? Did he not understand what he just said? You fool, this guy is really stupid.

“Your face is flushed.. What is it?”

“T-T-Nothing.”

Shit, if this is what I'm more stupid. Why should I be embarrassed by such a simple sentence. Rayen must have said it aimlessly, yes, I'm pretty sure of that. But, for some reason, I repeatedly rejected that sentence, I absolutely could not lie to my happy feelings.

Rayen sat politely, his legs uncrossed and his hands not wandering everywhere. Really a sitting position that is too polite for a man. Unlike me, who since school has been used to sitting with legs crossed, actually this position actually looks better when I become a woman.

Already, there's nothing more I can do. Actually, Rayen just kept quiet and waited for my ice to run out,

but after I have spent it, all there is now is sheer awkwardness.

Rayen may seem ordinary, but I, who from the beginning was nervous and troubled, had to think of something to talk about.

“Rayen.. that.. are you not troubled by your small number of Reft? Sorry for asking this in advance.”

I asked, in a very slow voice.

Rayen answered him while stroking the sword he was carrying. Actually, since the first time I met you, Rayen

always hanging his sword on his back, he used a special bag for it. But when he sat down, he leaned his sword next to him.

“True also.. otherwise the wrong amount of your Reft is unknown..What is it actually? I've never seen anything like it.”

“Y-Yah.maybe it's just a mistake.”.

“Yes, it looks like it could happen too. But... are you alone capable of using magic?”

Am I capable of using magic? It was a simple question with an ambiguous answer when asked. I can use magic, but that's also if I already know what kind of magic it is. In other words, I can but I don't know. Of course I can't answer with such a sentence.

Creating a new magic is also not impossible for a Goddess, but if Rayen asks me to show that, then it is finished my pretense of being an ordinary human being.

“M-It's possible. I also never tried it.”

A slightly strange answer. But if you think about it again, never trying to use magic is something

the logical. The strange thing is, I used to say ‘I am quite confident with my magic’. It seems that it makes Rayen confused.

“How about you try some magic? I happen to have a magic collection book.”

“Eh?”

-

Rayen took me to his house, for whatever reason I could not refuse the invitation. It's still morning, so

I thought forgetting a job for a while wasn't a bad thing.

Just like me in the old world, Rayen also lives alone in his house, his parents live in the Kingdom

The different part. Rayen himself settled in a place that was not filled by city buildings. The neighborhood looks more like a village.

The countryside is slightly different from Akarka, there are more people and the size of the village is also more

large. The house there has followed the urban model, which is what makes this village very much different from Akarka.

A house, with the sound of a stream not far from the house stood. A simple house made of stone walls and a wooden roof, none other than the residence of Colt Rayen.

He's taking me inside.

“Excuse me.”

I said that while stepping in slowly.

Inside Rayen's house, there were many sword decorations and shields. Oh, maybe it's not a decoration, but a collection

his weapons. But it seems I once thought that Rayen was not the one who got used to his sword, was my deduction wrong then?

“Wah, truly the home of an adventurer.”

“Ahaha..really? You just sit there, I'll get you some water.”

There was a pair of short chairs that were both made of wood. The chair was facing each other with a small table, the chair was also placed next to the window. So, with such a short position, I could see the vast sky outside.

While waiting for Rayen to get a drink, I sat down to relax in that chair. Over time, I got used to it and enjoyed the atmosphere of this full and messy room. Well, any kind of man would definitely let his room fall apart.

For some reason, here it feels very warm, comfortable, and full of the aroma of Rayen. Sword, wood, and stone,

it was very reflective of a Rayen. God, just by sitting in this room, I've started to feel the heat all over my body. It is impossible, it is strange that my nafsu appeared just because he was sitting in a room that had been occupied by Rayen.

Gawat, if this continues there I do strange things.

“Sorry waiting.”

“Hwaa!!”

“Corter? What's up?”

“T-No. I was just surprised.”

So bad, I just thought of something no-no. Luckily Rayen came and woke me up before my mind went too far.

Rayen carried two glasses of water in both hands. He put them both on the table, then let me drink.

It was delicious tea water, I never thought it would finally appear that the man who can make tea. I swear, make

tea is something amazing. I've never made tea in my entire life, if I wanted to drink it, I would buy the finished one.

“This is the book I mean.”

It turned out that Rayen had not only brought drinking water with him, but the book in question as well. She was before

put it on his lap, now he thrust it at me.

The book looked old, dusty, with its yellowed paper. The cover is made of leather, when

the dust is rubbed, the skin cover is back shiny. To be seen, however, this is an old book that has never been touched.

I wonder, why does Rayen remember this book when he never touched it?

“Why do you have this kind of book?”

I asked, opening the first page.

“It was a relic from my grandfather. Unlike me, she is a great magic user.”

Well, I'm not surprised that this is a relic. Only by opening his first page, I can

I feel a deep sense of emotion from this book. Although Rayen did not need this book, he still remembered it. It seems like this is a book that means so much to Rayen.

Broadly speaking, I already know what magic is. There are many games that show different types of magic. It's all in this book. Starting from the neatness to the result of the magic itself.

Almost every magic has a name and a name. Rapalan can be said as a keyword to make active magic. For example the magic of Wind Blade, the neatness is, ‘With the power of the Goddess, make the wind submit, make my weapon!’ It was a magic that allowed one to make the surrounding wind become sharp like a knife.

It sounds amazing, but in fact it's a bit of the amazing magic I can learn from this book.

At first I was also a little worried about wasting my Goddess power too much. I also once had the intention of attending magic school, or studying for a sorcerer. But it seems that with just this book, I can develop even low magic into great magic.

Good thing, this way at least I have a weapon to help Rayen on the mission.

“Sorry yes. because the book is so dirty so. whereas I know Corter does not like dirty.”

Rayen said while bowing his head.

“Ah, no.. it's okay. I'm glad you gave me this book.”

“Before you learn it, I want to leave a message from my grandfather to the bookkeeper.”

“What message?”

“If you have great magic power, study until you cross your line.

crossing your limits, don't let the power make you fall asleep. That's what he said.”

“Truly.. those words are very unsuitable for you.”

“Ahaha. I've realized that.”

I don't know what kind of figure Rayen's grandfather was. I am certainly very much indebted to him. Not only provide a useful book, but also leave a message that means so much to me.

What would Rayen's grandfather say, if he knew the message to the ears of the Goddess?
