The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Translator: Jiro Editor: Ryunakama

After leaving the isolated space I noticed that Milly was waiting for me.

Zeph!! Thank god she said after seeing me and having her worry washed away.

And here I told her to go without me, she really is a hard one to handle

I stretched my hand and stroked her golden hair.

Didnt I tell you to run away?

You did but S-Silverie was just too heavy

But even so you managed to bring her here didnt you?

Urgh Its all fine isnt it! You did say you wouldnt take long!

Now that I think about it I really might have said something like that.Well theres no helping it now either way.

Okay. In that case Ill take care of Silverie.

Huh?

Shes heavy isnt she? For me on the other hand she feels quite light.

Oh Okay

It seemed like Milly wanted to say something else but she gave up so I just took Silverie from her and then once again cast Burst Wave in order to create a smoke screen.

We dashed through the white smoke while holding on to Silverie and exited out of the tower.

9

Oh, you woke up.

Zeph?!!

When Silverie woke up she quickly called out my name in surprise.

She hurriedly got out of bed and looked around her surroundings carefully. However, she then quickly noticed that she was still naked so she covered herself with the blanket.

You dont need to worry. This is my room. Theres no one here.

Im here though said Milly annoyed as she approached us from the back of the room where she had just now been searching for Silveries clothes.

Milly gave Silverie her clothes, and Silverie lowered her head and received them.

As if not being able to stand the quiet, Milly raised her voice once more

Ill go make tea.

And with that she went back to the back of the room once more.

Did I lose?

Unfortunately.

I see. said Silverie as she lowered her head.

Silence enveloped the room, and only the sounds of Milly making tea in the back could be heard.Without saying anything I just looked at Silveries lonely face from the side.

As she bent her back and held her knees, her appearance seemed even smaller than normal.

I I didnt want to lose to her. she said in a quiet voice as a dark flame illuminated her eyes.

Her depleted magic power was slowly but surely beginning to fill Silveries body once more.

Usually when fully depleted, magic power would need a whole day before it begins to regenerate again, but this

It seems like she really wanted to win.Come to think of it, her plan was really meticulous.I wonder if she holds any grudges again Yera?

Oh my, I feel bad being addressed in that way you know.

We suddenly heard a voice coming from the entrance of the room. When we turned to look at who the owner was, to our surprise Yera was standing there.

Wh Yera?!!Why are you here?! I said in surprise.

Yera slowly got close to us and stood right next to the bed Silverie was sitting on.

I listened to the voice of the wind. Its a unique ability that I have you see.

The voice of the wind So thats another one of her unique abilities huh.It must have been this that allowed her to dodge the attacks aimed at her in the fight just now.I dont quite get it, but it appears to be quite the terrifying unique skill More importantly this is not the time for me to be thinking about this.Yera is a member of the Association.She might have come to capture Silverie.

I stood up in order to protect Silverie.

You dont need to worry, its not like Im gonna eat her.

But

Its fine. So please asked Yera with serious eyes

Those eyes didnt seem like they were planning anything.

I let out a sigh and moved away.

Yera and Silverie looked straight at each other.

After a bit Yera kindly spoke to Silverie.

For christ sake, where in the world were you these past 10 years, you stupid daughter of mine. said Yera.

D-Daughter?!! exclaimed Milly.

Naturally I was shocked as well.

Come to think of it, when I used Scout Scope on Yera her family was the same as Silveries. Theyre both Schugel. I thought it was just a coincidence but to think that theyre mother and daughter.

Im sorry Zeph. For me to fight my own daughter. I never thought that something like that would happen.

No, its fine Im surprised as well. as said I bowed my head and Milly did the same. Afterwards Yera turned towards Silverie.

You really are a stupid daughter you know. said Yera as she raised her hand

!!

Seeing that Silverie curled up even more and closed her eyes.

And then, Yeras small hand softly handed on Silveries head.

You sure grew big Youre so big that I can barely recognize you anymore.

Youre just small said Silverie with hostility as she looked at Yera, however it didnt seem like she had any intention to remove the hand on her head.

Yera narrowed her eyes and embraced Silveries head.

You idiot

Y-You, you!! You are the idiot!! said Silverie, her voice cracking, as she tried to rebuke Yera, but even so she couldnt escape from her embrace.

I sure am. Im a stupid parent that didnt even notice that her own daughter was planning to run away from home.

Idiot Idiot,idiot!! Just die!!

There, there.

Silverie buried her head in Yeras chest and began weeping.

I dont quite get it, but it seems to be okay now.

Milly, lets go, we dont need to be here.

Youre right.

I signalled Milly with my eyes, and both of us left the room.

Right after we closed the door we could hear Silverie swearing at Yera, but even despite the slanders her voice sounded quite sweet.

Ha What in the world is going on said Milly with a huge sigh as she leaned against the wall.

It seems like they fought after which Silverie ran away. I said.

That is correct.

We suddenly heard Yeras whispering voice.

This. Its not Telepathy.It seems like Milly heard it as well.

Yera-san?

Im using the air around you in order to deliver my voice to you. On the other hand, I can also pick up voices as well. That is how I also found out that the so-called Sellie was actually my daughter and also where this place was. Still, the range of this spell is not that great. continued Yera.

Either way, Id be grateful if you could sort things out with your daughter. I said

I want the same, however I dont know where I should start Yera mumbled. It seemed she had a hard time finding words.

As you can see I am an elf. I fell in love with a human and ran away with him to this city where Silverie was born. Its something that happened close to 20 years ago. Originally in order to better our lifestyle I became a magician. However, in time, and before I even realized it I came to be known as one of the Five Heavenly Mages.

So she became one of the Five Heavenly Mages just so she could cover her living expenses Yera is truly terrifying.

Ever since she was young Silverie was quite the shy one, so she always followed behind me. She was a really lovely child. I always fought with my husband as to who would be the one to hold her and sleep with her, but It all happened around when she was 10. Her father fell ill and died. Me and Silverie spent a number of days crying Both of us were really lonely.

So thats how you got hooked on chasing after men.

T-Thats wrong!! I just wanted someone to talk to Its misleading to say that I was chasing after men!! I was just focusing on my work!

Well, come to think of it, Yeras appearance really is that of a child.On top of that shes one of the Five Heavenly Mages. Theres not many lunatics that would dare lay a hand on her.So I guess her only choice was to surround herself with pretty aides who would help her with her work.

However, Silverie didnt see it that way

You probably paid her no mind. You have quite the wild character after all Yera.

Haha, look at you, talking like you know everything.

I had to spend some time back in my previous life, but from there I found out that she was quite the irresponsible person.

She would push all of her work on her aides and go play somewhere.

Well its not like that wasnt the case for the other Heavenly Mages as well though.

Good grief, you should reflect on your mistakes.

Its just as you said Zeph. To be honest it actually took me a few days before I even found out that Silverie had run away from home.

And by that time she had already left the capital right?

Thats right. I also asked a Dispatch Magician that was a friend of mine to look for her, however it didnt go well. It probably was a bad thing on my part to teach her magic. said Yera with a sigh.

So she was adept in magic at that age.Silverie is really frightening as well.Though I guess some of it must be because of her mothers influence.

But its precisely because you thought her magic that you are able to meet here like this, isnt it?

Haha, that is true.

Along Yeras voice I also heard Silveries sobbing.

The feelings of joy from meeting her mother again and the feeling of revenge that had plagued her for all these years were probably clashing within Silveries heart.

Still, if you hadnt come in at the time Zeph, I was going to meet my daughter at the worst possible time.

Well as I said it was a coincidence for me as well.

Furthermore, Silverie hasnt had any friends ever since she was little. So theres that as well. There are a lot of things that Im grateful for, so thank you.

Hearing Yeras honest voice for the first time even made me blush a little.

I hope youll continue taking care of her from now on as well.

Leave it to me. I did cause you some trouble, I wont forget this debt. said Yera

Ill be looking forward to it. Well then Milly, lets give those two some time alone.

Okay!! Im so glad for them!! said with a loud voice Milly.

I could hear Yeras strained laugh riding on the wind.

In order to leave both of them alone, we left the inn.
