Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

It's Tuesday, the first day of the week, and the calendar starts today in November, so let's get a fresh start.

After breakfast, we went to the site of Marcel's shop.

We went to the guild together to take care of the formalities of getting between us regarding the loan.

I thought it was still a little early, but I can already see Marcel-san's figure in the remains of the cleared shop.

Marcel-san seems to be having some kind of meeting with another well-built, middle-aged man.

'Good morning, Marcel-san.

Oh, Kent, good morning, you're early.

No, no, Marcel is faster than you.

It's my shop. I can't just sit around and do nothing.

Mr. Marcel looks so alive that it is hard to believe that he is the same person as he was when he was looking at the burned down shop with a heavy heart.

'Marcel, who is this boy?'

Oh, yeah, I'd like you to meet this guy, Kent, his name's Herman, and he's a carpenter's wingman.

Good morning, Kent.

'Oh, good morning ... so, Marcel, who is this girl?'

Oh, this Kent is the guardian of Volzard!

What? What are you talking about, a guardian god?

Herman looked dumbfounded at Marcel-san's words.

"Hmmm, well, that's the kind of look you're going to get, but Herman, the one who repelled the recent spate of demon attacks, that was this Kent!

Hey, Marcel, you okay? Did you go crazy after the store burned down?

'Hahaha, well, you're not supposed to believe me, but it's true that Kent is Volzard's guardian deity.

Huh....this little boy...

It's no wonder that Mr. Herman, who is a carpenter's wingman and is built so stocky that I look up at him, can't believe what he's saying when he sees me, the little guy looking down at him.

'Mr. Marcelle, you're already starting to rebuild your shop, aren't you?'

Oh, yeah, Kent took care of the burned down shop, and now we just need to build.

Hey, Marcel, did you clear out the burnt-out shop you little brat?

It's amazing. It's like this black wall that appears out of nowhere, and then there's this horrible crunching sound inside.

What? Are you ... are you sure you're okay?

Mr. Herman, who is sincerely worried about Mr. Marcel, seems to be amused.

'Of course it's going to be okay, and hey, if you weren't telling the truth, then why is this place being cleared?

Well, that's good because I'll get someone to...

What kind of contractor in Volzard would clean up a burned-out area like this in one day?

No, it's not there but, hey...

Mr. Herman seems to be assessing me as if he is looking at something unearthly.

Yes, this might be a bit interesting, I could see how Marcel felt.

Anyway, get the exterior of the building together with the previous shop and we'll talk about the places you want to change before we start the interior work.

All right, then, I'll start on it today, Marcel, is the money okay?

Yeah, don't worry about that guy. Don't worry, the guild will step in between us.

Well, okay, no, I'm just relieved to see you're doing better than I thought you would.

'Well, it was indeed a dent in the day the store burned down, this guy...'

Marcel put his hand on my head and linked the words together.

I'm trying my best to keep up with you, Kent, you know.

Oh, I see, the Volzard guardianship doesn't ring a bell, but I'm pretty sure he's Marcel's lucky charm.

Oh, come on, man, it's a godsend. Come on, come on, come on!

Hey, Marcel, you're kidding me.

No, I'm not messing with you, Guardian of Volzard.

No, no, no, you're totally amused.

Well, as long as Marcel-san is feeling better, I guess it's good.

As I looked at Marcel-san, who was continuing his meeting with Herman-san with a lively smile on his face, a fluffy, good scent wafted out of the air.

''Kent-sama........''

'Eh....'

It was bad, I was caught off guard.

As soon as she called out to me and turned around, Beatrice kissed me on the cheek.

''Ooh........''

Beatrice leans her head on my shoulder as she hears the surprised voices of Marcel-san and the others and the yellow voices from across the street.

'Good morning, Master Kent....'

Beatrice whispered and then huffed into my ear.

Oh, this is totally amusing.

'Good morning Reece, you're tickling me.'

''Uh-huh, I'm sorry about that...''

Beatrice hugs me like she's rubbing her own scent on my neck.

I mean, there's a Nazario with a blood vessel that's about to cut off across the street, and he's staring at me with his terrific eyes, but seriously, please don't.

''Reece you're going to be late for school.

'Oh the cold walls of the world are tearing us apart again...'

'No, no, no, it's not that big of a deal, school is,'

'Oh, Master Kent, I'm sorry to say it, but Reece must go.

Yeah, good luck with your studies...

'Mmm ... Master Kent is cold ...'

'Ouch, ouch, ouch, Reece...'

I thought he pinched me on the side and then he kissed me again on the cheek.

'I'm off, Master Kent,'

Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Reece... ouch.

Acting with a bewitching charm befitting her age, Beatrice finally gave my side one last pinch and sashayed back to the girls waiting across the street.

Oh I'll cut it, if you clench your teeth any longer, you'll really cut a blood vessel, Nazario.

Last time I made a dent with Reinhardt and the others, but this is going to be another anguish, isn't it?

Kuehn.....

'Yes, yes, I'll pet you later and you'll be quiet...'

Wahhhh!

It's already hard to find people baking baked rice cakes all over the place.

Hearing the voices of the Marts, Herman is scurrying around.

"Kent, you're showing us how hot you are!

No, Beatrice is just, how should I put it, making fun of me.

Huh you're just trying to be funny... but why is Beatrice coming on to you?

'Well that's the thing...'

I explained that I had treated Beatrice with a lot of ostracism.

Because I can't say I fondled her in various ways, you know.

Marcel-san rolls his eyes in surprise, but Herman looks dubious again.

''Are you sure you can use healing magic?''

Yes, I'm not even sure I know how I'm doing it.

Hmm... can you cure the pain in your shoulder?

What's going on?

Yeah, I was carrying lumber and I had a little bit of a sore, but it didn't heal well.

Ha-ha, Herman, you're getting old.

Shut up, I don't have time for this shit. I don't have time to stand around and wait for hours at a time in a f*cking hospital.

It's kind of the same in every world.

Even in Japan, I hear that people who are working are too busy to go to the hospital.

Which shoulder are you on?

'Oh? Yeah, my left shoulder, but is it really going to heal?

Huh, maybe, but if you get better or not, I won't take your money, you'll be fine.

Oh, okay, so what do I do now?

'Sure. Would you mind sitting here for a moment?'

I ask Mr. Herman to sit on the crate and put his hand on my left shoulder and let the healing magic flow.

I'm already used to casting healing magic on other people, though I don't really know why it heals.

"Oh........it's like this, it feels like I'm being warmed up from the inside.......

'Ho, but bruises and sprains have to be treated several times, don't they?

No, I think he'll be fine.

I finished the treatment by rubbing for five minutes and letting the healing magic flow through me.

''Well what do you think?''

Is that it?　Ah!

Hey, what's up, Herman?

"It doesn't hurt....it's gonna hurt like a million bucks...and it's gonna hurt like a million bucks...

Mr. Herman's eyes widen in amazement as he rolls his shoulders as if to confirm it, almost spilling over.

'Hey I was right, I told you Kent was a great guy.

'No, I don't know why Marcel would be so high and mighty, but it was Kent, you're a big deal, no, I'm seriously surprised.

No, no, I'll need Mr. Herman to work hard on rebuilding Marcel-san's shop from now on.

Oh, yeah, come on, Herman.

"Hmm, let me take care of it, because I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, literally, and I'm gonna crush it!

We parted from Herman-san, who said he would immediately call a craftsman to start working, and Marcel-san and I decided to head to the guild.

I heard that most of the buildings here are made with a combination of wood framing and earth magic, and since Herman-san's place is full of skilled craftsmen, the work is fast.

If it's just enough to get the exterior of a two-story building in order, it will be ready in about two weeks, he said.

I've rented a corner of my friend's warehouse, so I can make shoes until the shop is up and running, and then I'll be able to open it again soon.

I'm sorry, my people are really bothering you...

Whoa, Kent, that's the end of the line. You're the one who's going to give me the money and, more importantly, you're the one who got me out of my funk, and I'm the one who's going to bow to you, Kent, thank you.

No, it's not that... I just did what I could...

In Japan, I've been treated like a clunker, so it's a bit embarrassing to be thanked face to face.

The morning hustle and bustle was coming to an end at the guild I had moved to.

The people who had found work were going off one by one to work and foraging.

As I walked from the entrance to the counter, I saw several familiar faces against the wall.

Muel, the cat-eared angel; Gillik, the self-destructing doggy, and Manon, who is still cute today, waving his little hand.

And beside Manon, there's Motomiya-san and Sagara-san, and more than ten other girls beside Manon.

''Good morning,''

Good morning Kent, long time no see.

"Hmm........I'm not losing.......

Yeah, nobody's asking that.

Mr. Muell is smiling bitterly, and Gillik's ears are red, though he's turning away.

'Good morning Kent.'

Good morning, Kokubun.

Marcel-san, please don't talk about Beatrice, please don't talk about Beatrice.

'Well are you all here looking for a job, by any chance?

When I asked hopefully, the girls nodded emphatically.

''You are relying too much on Kokubun-kun, no matter what.

Yeah, she pays for my living expenses and everything else.

Well, you know, just want money to play with, you know, money to play with?

The other girls nodded at Sagara and Motomiya's words with a smile.

Besides, they weren't old enough to do part-time work when they were in Japan, and they're interested in working.

'I see, so that means Manon is your guide?'

Yeah, I'd like to be of some help to Kent.

Thank you, Manon, please.

Yeah, I'm on it.

It's hard for me to see Manon nodding with a little bit of color on his cheeks, it's too cute, shouldn't we hug, geez, geez.......oh, Sagara-san and the rest of the guys' warm gazes are painful.

''Huh? But only these ... fifteen people came looking for work?

If you add the Bumpy Sisters, there should be twenty-five girls, but everyone's expressions have darkened.

'Sumika........Kizawa-san and her group, well......they were goners, and Tomo-chan and Acchan pulled them into horse riding training.

The Kizawa Sumika that Sagara-san is referring to is in a different class from me, so I can't recognize her face even if I only hear her name, but she's probably one of the guys who was unfaithful the night before last.

'I don't want to work, but if I'm riding...?'

Well, sort of, but doesn't riding training involve taking care of horses and all that, right?

Oh, so you're trying to lure me with the word "riding" and get me to work?

Yeah, Acchan thinks it's a good idea...

I see, with the exception of a few girls, they're all thinking about it.

If that's the case, I'd be poor if I didn't give you some advice from Amanda.

''Thanks, guys. Um ... I'm sorry to discourage you all, but from what I've heard, you might be a bit winded towards us because of the commotion the day before yesterday, so be prepared for that.

The girls' faces clouded over at my words.

'Don't worry, I'll pick a good job for you, you'll be fine.'

Manon gripped his hands tightly and cheered everyone up.

''Volzard is called the farthest city, and all sorts of people flow into it. There are people who have done bad things in the past and people who cause a ruckus, like this one. But, the city of Volzard appreciates the people who do their best to reflect properly and work hard together.

All of the girls, as well as those around them, seemed to be nodding their heads as they listened to Manon's words.

'It's not everyone's fault that everyone else's people caused a ruckus this time, and Volzard has had lots and lots of help from Kent so far. So I'll return the favor this time, and I'm sure I'll find a good job for you all.

I couldn't resist Manon, who stared into my eyes and smiled like a dainty flower smiling at me, so cute.

'Thank you, Manon....'

What, Kent...

Kyah, Kokubun-kun, big time!

Sagara and the others made a big deal out of it, but it doesn't matter anymore.

I hugged Manon and kissed her on the cheek, though it was probably not as awkward as Beatrice's, but I hugged Manon and kissed her on the cheek.

Manon's face turns bright red and her eyes are all rolled up.

''Well, I ran into Beatrice just now, so...''

As soon as I told him that, Manon's eyes squeaked back to sanity.

Manon buried his face in my neck and wouldn't let me go.

I pomped her back and she finally let go, but she glared at me with her mouth agape and teary eyes.

'I won't lose...'

Goooooooooooooo kawa, I guess I can just throw everything out and go on the run with Manon, no, you can't.

If this is the case, we'll have to move up the rescue mission...........................and then the chairman of the committee will come to Volzard.

Ugh, what should I do?

Kent...?

I noticed that you've got the whole guild's attention all to yourself.

Of course, that's what happens when you hug Manon and Guido.

I see........you mean that this one, not that one, is Kent's true love.......

No, Mr. Marcel, that way, or this way, or whatever it is you're talking about...

'Oh, hot, hot.......it's hot in November in Volzade.......'

Really, really but I might be a little jealous...

Ah, the eyes of Sagara-san, Motomiya-san and all the girls hurt.

''Well then, good luck with your work, Manon, take care of you, now, let's go, Marcel-san.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't get your pants on fire, handsome.

Escaping from the warm, piercing gaze, I head to the counter and ask for the proof of loan.

Since the amount is a bit large, it was decided that Otto-san would take care of the paperwork.

Then write the amount of money here, Kent's name here and Marcel's name there, and when you've completed the same two documents, I'll put my surgical seal on them.

Two copies of the document will be made, and I, as the lender, will keep one copy, and the other will be kept by the guild that is responsible for proving it.

A surgical seal is a thumbprint on a special ink mixed with a few drops of blood, which can be used to identify an individual using a special authentication machine.

The amount of money was set at 1 million hectares, including the construction cost of the building, the spoiled goods, and compensation for the period of closure.

From the million hectares, we subtracted the cost of reopening the shop and repaid the remainder.

And the guild will recover the expenses incurred from the idiots.

With this, Marcel-san will be able to reopen his shop with no financial burden.

"Well, thank you for the help, Kent, it means I don't have to worry about the money and can focus on my work.

'No, no, it's my mate's fault, and it pains me to say thank you.

But I'm just amazed that people your age can get away with a million bucks.

No, it's because of the power of the gift, and I'm kind of sorry about that...

"What the hell are you talking about, you're helping a lot of people because of Kent, and that money is the result of that, so be proud.

Marcel-san tapped me on the shoulder.

''Yes, I wonder...''

Do you think that's why women come to you, so you can suck it up? Let me share a little with you.

'No, I'm not talking about...'

'Marcel, if such a story comes to my wife's ears...'

'Whoa, Otto, pretend you didn't hear me say that, because it's going to rain blood on Volzard.

I know it's always plainly stated, but Otto's eyes are smiling.

It seems that Marcelle is a horrible wife.

We shook hands with Marcel-san and parted here.

After this, it's time to apologize to Klaus-san.

It seems that the idiots were spared from being expelled, but it seems that there are many things that I have to decide on, including the rest of my classmates who will be rescued later on.

Pulling myself together, I headed upstairs to Klaus-san's office.
