Looking carefully at the bookshelves, Ataru looks at the spines of the books and selects the ones he is interested in.
The books were mostly about magic that was useful for daily life or for traveling.

 

However, as he continued to read, he learned that there were many other ways to use magic, and his interest was piqued, and he began to pick up other books as well.

 

Ataru's concentration was so remarkable that he didn't even notice when Caro and Sebeus came into the room after a short break from training.

 

“It's amazing.”

 

“He hasn't noticed us at all.”

 

Ataru didn't even react to Caro and Sebeus smiling at each other as they talked.
I'm not sure what to do.
He stares at the book and flips through the pages, just repeating the same thing over and over.

 

“Ah, um, Ataru-sama, …….”

 

Caro called out to him in a fearful manner.
However, there was still no response from him.
Caro who had never experienced this before felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety, but she held her ground and called out to him again.

 

“Ataru-sama!”

 

When she called out in a slightly louder voice that was harder than before, Ataru finally closed his book and turned around.

 

“Oh, are you two done with that?”

 

Caro nodded and Sebeus coughed as Ataru asked with an expression that said he hadn't noticed.

 

“Yes! I believe I'm getting the hang of it!”

 

“Ataru-sama, it's good that you're concentrating on your book, but it's already getting dark outside.”

 

Caro, relieved to finally be seen, replied cheerfully.
Smiling, Sebeus informed her of the situation outside.

 

The room was designed in such a way that there was no light from the outside to prevent the books from getting tanned.
Therefore, Ataru seemed to be oblivious to the passage of time.
They were worried that Ataru would not come back, so they came to pick him up.

 

“I'm sorry it has taken so long, ……
but there are some interesting books here.”

 

Ataru stood up with an apologetic look on his face, he had finished a number of books by the time they arrived, and he was piling them up on the table.
And his expression as he spoke to them was one of satisfaction.

 

“Well, I guess I'll just put the books away and go.”

 

Ataru was concerned about the fact that he had taken more books than he had expected, even though he had been told that he did not have to put them back.
He tried to put the book back on the shelf, but Sebeus gently stopped him.

 

“Don't worry, I'll put it back on the shelf.
It's better that you two go back to your inn before it gets completely dark.
This city is relatively safe, but there are still some crazy people out there at night.”

 

“Is that so? Well then, I'll take your word for it and go home for today.
Can I come back tomorrow around the same time?”

 

There are many people who are overconfident that if they can use magic as well as Ataru, they are already good enough.
But Ataru believed that he was just at the first stage of magic.

 

“Yes, we are looking forward to seeing you.
Although Franphilia-sama is staying at the guild today, she said she will be back tomorrow and can help you both with your training.”

 

Sebeus was surprised by his attitude that he still had a lot to learn.
At the same time, he felt a strong urge to support them, and answered with a smile.

 

There were a lot of novice magicians in the world who just wanted to use magic as soon as possible, but they ended up being useless.

 

“Well, then I guess I'll join you outside tomorrow for some hands-on practice.”

 

Since he had already finished reading several books that interested him, Ataru was thinking of putting them to practical use.

 

'I see, that might be a good idea.
Well, I'll look forward to tomorrow.”

 

After saying goodbye to Sebeus, who softly smiled and nodded, the two of them returned to the inn.

 

That night, each of them did not stay up late, but after a moderate amount of training, they slowly went to bed.

 

 

 

The next day, Ataru and Caro visited Franphilia's mansion at the same time.

 

As Sabes had mentioned yesterday, Franphilia was also at the mansion today, so the four of them gathered in the backyard to practice their skills.

 

“I heard that you read a lot of books yesterday, Ataru-san.
Did you find anything that you would like to use?”

 

Today, Franphilia was going to be Ataru's instructor and Sebeus was going to be Caro's instructor.
Franphilia, who had decided to proceed with the instruction based on the report she had heard from Sebeus, asked.

“Well, ……
Sebeus told me that I'd like to try something called lifestyle magic.
You know, the kind of magic that removes dirt and grime?”

 

Ataru, after a little deliberation, chose lifestyle magic.

 

When it comes to using magic for the first time, many people choose flashy offensive magic, but Franphilia was surprised to see Ataru choose it, and her eyes widened.

 

“Eh? It's lifestyle magic? It's certainly useful, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
……
What about more powerful magic, like fire magic or lightning magic?”

 

Franphilia mentioned one after another the magic that she imagined Ataru would choose, to which Ataru replied by shaking his head.

 

“My weapons are good enough for fire and lightning.
If you think about traveling, going from town to town, or diving into caves, you'll naturally end up with lifestyle magic.”

 

Ataru's words were true, but something didn't quite make sense to Franphilia.
She thought that a person as skilled as he was with magic would want to use more powerful offensive magic.
Only Franphilia knew that she was hoping that he would use ice magic similar to hers…….

 

“Now, let's start learning about lifestyle magic.”

 

Ataru, frustrated by the lack of a positive response, asked proudly, “Okay?”[1]

 

“Okay, I understand.
I'll start with the basic stuff, like I said earlier, magic to remove dirt and grime.
……
Please wait a moment.
I'll get you some cloths to practice with.”

 

Franphilia nodded as if pushed by Ataru, who took a firm stance, and went back to the mansion to regain her composure.
Along the way, she realized that she was smiling at the fact that he was going far beyond her expectations and pushed up her glasses as she hurried back.

 

While waiting for Franphilia, Ataru decides to watch Caro's training.

 

“Fly 【Arrow of Wind】! Burn 【Flaming Arrow】!

 

At some point, even without a wand, Caro succeeded in firing two attributes of magic in succession.
Each of the arrows that were released as she commanded hit the target as if they were intertwined and made a big hole.

 

“It seems that you can use multiple attributes, Caro-san.
It seems that the flaming arrows were difficult to use at first, but now it looks like you can use other attributes as well.”

 

Feeling good about Sebeus' words, Caro started by creating an image in order to practice other magic.

 

Ataru watched her with admiration as she worked through the images with a difficult expression on her face.

 

“Wow, Caro's amazing.
Combining that with a melee attack would be pretty powerful, wouldn't it?”

 

In Ataru's case, both guns and magic were long range, so his fighting style would not change, but in Caro's case, where close combat was her main focus, her tactics would expand.
That's what Ataru was hoping for.

 

While he was watching Caro training with worry for a while, Franphilia came back with a few pieces of cloth.

 

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Here are the cloths we didn't need.
Take this one first: ……”

 

She then softly dropped the cloths on the ground and covered them with sand and soil as she saw fit.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 

“Oh, hey, are you sure? I think it was a pretty clean cloth, no matter how much you didn't want it.
……”

 

“No problem.
Now, let's get it cleaned up with magic.”

 

Franphilia put the soiled cloth on the table and concentrated her magic power on the hand she held up.

 

The pale white light becomes stronger, and the magic is released when the magic power is felt to increase.

 

“【Cleanse impurity】!

 

The chanting sounded like holy attribute magic, but the cloth wrapped in the released light was quickly cleaned of all dirt and regained its original cleanliness.
