The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

27 – Reunion (1)

“Hmm… I’ll remember it. Thank you for letting me know.”

“I’ll draw it. All you have to do is move the object to the place I tell you!”

After hearing the news, Ern decided to proceed with the quest.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it.

‘It’s probably not about black magic.’

If you keep quiet about black magic, it will only cause side effects.

If Ern talks about it on his own, he will be treated like a crazy person, but if people in high positions try to hide it by being malicious, other people will also ask, ‘What’s really going on?’ It was meant to be done.

‘… Even so, it would be to preserve the prestige of the dukedom, wouldn’t it?’

It was often the case for prestigious families to try to hide their wealth.

Even if that were the case, it would have been limited to giving gifts and asking for good things.

It was Ern who played an active part in battle and threw himself in to save Eve. In addition, he received Eisenbern’s card as a gift.

If you think about it rationally, there was absolutely no reason for a member of the duchy to treat Ern harshly.

[Quest: Transport]

[Move the object to the top.]

[Reward: 20P]

It was a small amount of compensation, but when these things were gathered together, they became one magic book.

Ern used To make the box float and followed the given path.

‘… ‘Is this the top you were talking about?’

I heard that a new shop had recently opened, and I saw a familiar name.

『Mersenne Upper/Kagon Branch』

The upper building was a two-story building.

Wooden boxes were neatly arranged on the first floor of a crowded building. Adventurers and customers were busy moving and carrying luggage.

Employees were busy going up and down the creaky wooden stairs leading to the second floor. They walked around busily, scribbling down ledgers.

At that time, an employee who discovered Ern approached.

“Wizard? How may I help you?”

“I’m here to deliver something.”

“…Is this by any chance a rare magic ingredient?”

It seemed to be a fairly expensive item as it was being levitated using telekinetic magic to prevent shock.

“No. These are potatoes from the Clen grocery store at that intersection.”

“???”

Instantly, I had a lot of questions.

Why is the wizard carefully moving the potatoes? Why is that box still floating?

But if you panic here, you are not a professional.

“…I see. Clen Grocery Store… Oh, it’s here… Yes, I checked. You can drop it off here…”

[Quest: Transport completed]

[Reward: 20P]

“Yes. Good luck.”

Just as I was about to disarm , I heard a familiar voice coming from the stairs.

“Ern?”

“Reina?”

A smile spread across Reina’s face as she confirmed that the other person was Ern. Then he quickly came down the stairs.

“Ern! What are you doing here?!”

With a grin, Reina approached her with long strides and greeted her warmly.

“I stopped by because I was asked to do something.”

“Ah… I see!”

Her look of disappointment passed for a moment because it wasn’t the answer she was expecting, but she quickly adjusted her expression so Ern wouldn’t notice.

At that time, an employee noticed and intervened.

“Wizard, I’m sorry for speaking to you. Is it okay if I take the box with me…?”

“Ah.”

The potato box was still floating around him.

After the embarrassed employee took the box away, Ern and Reina came out.

“I guess Ern is still helping people these days?”

“Hmm… That’s the way it is.”

Reina was accurately aware of the branch’s arrival and departure status.

Today was a day when only items of low importance came in.

In other words, Ern was calling himself an ordinary porter.

“It seems like the pay is quite low….”

“Money is not important.”

‘Points are important!’

“…You’re still the same.”

Reina smiled and nodded her head.

Erne, who had let go of her greed for wealth and fame, did not change.

“What are you doing today?”

“I’ll probably keep working.”

“Can I accompany you?”

“Are you accompanying me?”

“I’ve just settled in Kagon, so I’d like to take a look around the commercial district here.”

It was a lie. It was common sense that a merchant should carefully understand the market before entering.

Reyna was able to recite Kagon’s logistics flow with her eyes closed.

Of course, Ern could not have known that fact.

“Oh, good.”

‘I have to impress the second generation chaebols.’

And Raina also had no way of knowing Ern’s thoughts.

***

“By the way, will Mersen Merchants continue to do business in Kagon from now on?”

“Yes. Kagon is also said to be the capital of magic, right? I was thinking of entering it slowly.”

When I was in front of Ern, I felt like I was telling more and more lies.

According to the original plan, it was scheduled to be a little later.

However, it was purely Reina’s insistence that she decided to bring the timing forward and take direct responsibility for the operation of the Kagon branch.

… Sometimes there are secrets that you want to hide.

“Oh… I guess I’ll have to visit often.”

“If you are Ern, you are always welcome!”

“How are you feeling about your job at the top?”

“Connecting distribution networks with other regions and managing supplies every day. It’s hard, but it’s still rewarding.”

I was stubborn, so it was my turn to take responsibility. Reyna was struggling not to disappoint her top and her father.

“Ern, how was it after you left Arctos? Oh, was the ducal procession okay? I asked the employees who accompanied me at the time, but they didn’t say anything.”

‘The duke is sure to handle the job.’

It appears that a separate warning was given to the employees during the procession. I thought it was probably done half through threats and half through bribery.

Meanwhile, Ern lost his mind, was Eisenbern’s benefactor, and was an exception because Eve captured him and treated him alone.

It was a wise decision for the employees to hide the fact of the attack from their employers.

Not only did they take care of their own well-being, but in a larger sense, it could be seen as taking care of the well-being of their superiors.

Even if the Mersenne women knew about the attack, it was clear that not only would they have no advantage, but they would also be put in an awkward situation.

Ern made the same decision.

“Hmm… Nothing much happened. It was boring.”

“Aha.”

.

.

.

Due to Ern’s magic, all the blade flowers that were eating away at the field were cut down.

Then, he raked up the sharp flower petals with

And stored them in his inventory.

“…That’s amazing.”

Reina still overestimated his magic skills.

He cast his magic accurately, with a light heart, as if he were taking a walk.

It was actually right to go for a walk. I was walking around leisurely, rooting out all the Blade Flowers that came into the magic range.

The speed and accuracy were surprising even when I watched it again.

“hahahaha. Thank you.”

“Are you going back to the Adventurer’s Guild now?”

“Yes.”

Ern’s day was unusual.

My daily routine was to solve miscellaneous errands for the residents of Kagon and receive requests from the Adventurer’s Guild.

And even the movement line was refined without any unnecessary details. It meant that he didn’t just do this for a day or two.

“Is this what you’ve been doing since you came to Kagon? Have you ever had any inconveniences in your life?”

If he continued to do this kind of small-paying work, it would have been difficult just to pay the hotel and food expenses.

No matter how much she brought it upon herself, she thought that such treatment did not suit Ern.

Depending on Ern’s answer, Reina was even willing to provide a spare room in her house.

‘Um…. Is this a little early?’

Anyway, my desire to help him was strong.

“Oh, not necessarily. I ended up joining a school and finding another job.”

“Oh….”

I had a job at the academy, but there was no reason for me to do this other than a sense of service.

‘He was just doing it with altruistic intentions!’

Raina stopped for a moment from the exclamation in her heart and asked a question.

“As expected, with Ern’s skills, you would be welcomed anywhere. Where do you belong, by any chance…?”

“My school is the Sensia School, and my job is to teach at Kagon Academy.”

Ern spoke casually as if nothing had happened.

“Aha, right… Yes?!”

Rayna never lost her composure even when being chased by the Forest Wolf, but this time she couldn’t help but be startled.

Raina’s pupils widened and her mouth opened.

“Sencia School? Kagon Professorship?”

Reina asked Ern with her curiosity and surprise.

“Yes. I was lucky.”

Ern smiled and said yes.

‘The reaction was as expected.’

She had decided to look good anyway. So she decided to show off everything she could brag about.

Connections with the future caravan were quite important.

‘The favorability rating has definitely increased.’

She has been in her favor so far, and she has even shown great qualifications, so there is nothing to say about her.

Of course, it did not refer to the likability of the opposite s*x in relation to the heroine strategy.

“…Wow!”

The Sensia School is a great place, and the Kagon Academy is the best magical education institution.

This was a matter of common sense that anyone in the kingdom would naturally know.

“It’s huge…!”

Until they arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild, Rayna’s praise and fuss did not stop.

Ern thought the day would go by smoothly like that.

That is, until he meets a knight with a grim expression and glaring at him.

The symbol of the Winter Castle Knights was engraved on his armor.
