Versatile Mage: Fan Rhapsody Chapter 1 Continuation

-Osaka Nishi-ku District-

Located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the center of Osaka, this place is where human traffickers gather and the most common people are homeless people... After all, Japanese law prohibits begging.

Kale walked along the familiar street...through an alley and into an older apartment hotel.

Room 503

The cramped room contained Aoi Suzuki and Rika Suzuki lying down.

"What's wrong with her...?" Kale asked.

"You've gotten much better recently~ What kind of medicine did you use?" Suzuki Aoi asked curiously about the herbs that Kalai had mailed to him before, which had helped Suzuki Rika heal.

"Sigh~ This was made by my middle school classmate... It's fine as long as it's done... Where's Tanyan?" Actually, this herbal formula was a combination of herbalism from the scientific plane and magical herbalism from this magical world, prepared by Kalai at the request of Lü Yuanhui.

“He went on patrol…and said that even though there haven’t been any ‘ghosts’ appearing recently, we can’t be careless…” Suzuki Aoi said.

(Note: The so-called "ghosts" are actually a type of vampire.)

At that moment, the door opened... and entered was none other than Honmura Yui.

"Sister Kui... Wow~ Kalai, what brings you here?" Kalai, the only person in the village who saw her as soon as she entered, blushed and was startled... She quickly hid outside the door, tidied her hair, and then came in.

"Oh... I just came to see you guys..." Kale said with a smile.

"Oh... um..." Yui Motomura still had a shy expression.

Suzuki Aoi was aware of Kimura Yui's feelings, but she no longer cared. Moreover, Kimura Yui had helped her a lot... especially recently in taking care of Suzuki Rika.

"How was the competition today?" Suzuki Aoi asked... She had heard that Motomura Yui was competing in the National Hall competition that day.

And Yui Motomura was one of those nine Kokukan students…

"Speaking of which... those members of the Chinese Nationalist government were really arrogant today~" Motomura Yui pouted her delicate little lips and complained angrily.

As a healing mage, Honmura Yui is not a main force in the team. Although she remained silent during the competition, she has only returned now to complain bitterly.

Kale, of course, noticed Motomura Yui in the stands opposite the Chinese national team, but at the time he appeared with a look of utter disbelief...

"Really? Then... what was the result?" Suzuki Aoi asked somewhat awkwardly... When it came to the Chinese National Team, Suzuki Aoi was one of the very few who knew that Kalai was the alternate team leader.

"The people from the Chinese Nationalist government are indeed very capable... but it's strange that their substitutes seem to be stronger than the regulars. One of them even fought to a standstill with Ms. Chika." Motomura Yui said.

"Oh, really?" Suzuki Aoi replied, while her eyes darted to Karai... Karai had mentioned the National Hall Challenge to Suzuki Aoi before.

Kale kept shaking his head, indicating that he was very low-key and hadn't done anything...

"But speaking of the most pretentious member of the Chinese National Team, it's still that captain... He hasn't done anything wrong, yet everyone seems to avoid him, even Chika..." Motomura Yui continued.

Suzuki Aoi also helplessly covered her face... Although she knew Karai's nature all along, she still couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Kale was both amused and exasperated; he never expected to be caught in the crossfire like this…

"But after the match, he actually came to ask for 20 million yen... I heard it was because he won a bet with the captain and the others~ Strange... that smiling face seems so familiar..." As Motomura Yui spoke, a sense of déjà vu surfaced in her mind.

"Ahem...Alright...I've prepared to send you two back to Shanghai to lay low for a while, after all, who knows when the branch family and the military might come looking for us~" Kalai interrupted the conversation.

Since Kale is now serving as the National Government's substitute leader and is working for the country, his proposal to grant Suzuki Aoi, Suzuki Kenji, and Suzuki Rika a permanent residency visa was approved... This at least gives them a formal residency status.

"Waaaaah... Are you leaving already? I'm going to feel so lonely~" Yui Motomura said with a pitiful expression.

"Once I finish that delivery device... then you can come and visit anytime~" Kalai gently patted Yui's head to comfort her.

Motomura Yui suddenly became shy again, and the petite girl with twin ponytails nodded slightly...

……

……

Suddenly... the city's alarms sounded, and red glowing lights could be seen across the night sky from the windows.

"Blood Alert!?!" Suzuki Aoi and Motomura Yui looked surprised.

Carly was looking up information on his phone at that moment...

"It's nothing... a false alarm. Check your phones..." Kalai said.

The two checked their phones... and saw a news report clarifying that the bloody alert was a false alarm.

The two breathed a sigh of relief... Just then, Rika Suzuki woke up.

"Hmm... Tanyan-nii-san?" Suzuki Rika woke up halfway and rubbed her eyes.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was knocked open, and Tan Yan appeared!

"Oh no... the Pillars are here!" Tanjiro, covered in blood, seemed to have just survived a fierce battle.

Kalai immediately became alert... Back when he was still a mid-level mage, he had been ambushed and left in a sorry state.

"It's not safe here... You should leave as soon as possible~" Kalai said, putting on the Thunder Dragon Wolf's spatial ring and putting it on Suzuki Aoi.

Before Suzuki Aoi could even raise her guard, she was overcome with embarrassment at having the ring on her ring finger...

"You...you should heal Tanjiro first," Kalai continued.

But Tanukihiko's injuries didn't give Motomura Yui time to overthink things... Upon hearing this, Motomura Yui immediately prioritized treating Tanukihiko.

But before Tan Yan could even heal him... Kalai sensed a very strong energy fluctuation!

Kalai rushed to the window and flung it open, only to discover a violent whirlwind about 300 meters away... At the center of the whirlwind was a figure who was gathering powerful wind energy!

"Damn it... he's not planning to destroy the entire building!?" Kale sensed that the power was no less than that of a high-level being... and might even be comparable to a second or third-level high-level magic.

High-level magic is extremely powerful, so it is generally forbidden to use in cities... not to mention that second-level or even third-level magic can easily destroy a building.

Suddenly… the intense whirlwind stopped abruptly, and a figure wielding a katana slashed vertically, sending a powerful gust of wind hurtling towards the building where Kalai was located…

As the vertical wind slash approached the building where Kalai was, it gradually expanded into a hundred-meter-long, all-consuming wind slash... everything in its path was reduced to dust!
