……

Half an hour later.

Koizumi Akako, who had just woken up, sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking at Qi Ming expressionlessly.

What exactly are those things outside your house?

It's a plant.

Qi Ming said solemnly.

"Ah."

plant?

She's here today to keep her appointment with Qi Ming, which is about Qi Ming wanting to learn magic.

Wanting to finish the job quickly, she flew over on a broomstick.

But just as she was about to land and approach the house, she noticed that the courtyard outside the mansion was filled with a bunch of strangely shaped plants.

She was wondering what those things were when...

Before she could even see which plant it was, a yellow blob suddenly flew in front of her, causing her to crash to the ground.

I still have a strange buttery smell on me!

"Little sister, why are you staring at me like that?"

Noticing the strange gazes from beside her, Koizumi Akako turned her head in confusion.

"nothing."

Ai Haibara said calmly, withdrawing her gaze, but there was a hint of resentment in her words.

This woman was the culprit who caused all her original plans to collapse.

Why would a magician like you provoke him?

After a series of inexplicable actions, this guy actually managed to figure out my true identity!

At this moment, Qi Ming asked Koizumi Akako with some curiosity.

"So what are you doing here?"

"I'm bringing you some materials. Didn't you want to learn magic?"

Koizumi Akako took out several old parchment scrolls from her backpack and placed them on the table with an annoyed expression.

Qi Ming nodded in realization.

I almost forgot about that.

"Is this the skill book?"

After Koizumi Akako took out all the scrolls and placed them on the table, Qi Ming couldn't wait to grab two scrolls.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the game-exclusive item: Magic Scroll.

The skill system has now been developed.

The system's voice rang out the moment Qi Ming picked up the scroll.

Upon hearing what the system said, Qi Ming was extremely excited.

"Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!"

He suddenly stood up, grabbed two scrolls in each hand, and shook them up and down.

Koizumi Akako was startled by the exaggerated gesture and expression, and quietly asked Haibara Ai.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, you'll get used to it."

"...Can you get used to this?"

Qi Ming didn't have time to read the subtitles of their conversation. After calming down, he picked up the other scrolls one after another.

There are many types of magic. Although some functional magic overlaps with the game's own functions, it doesn't matter much.

It's like you've acquired a super cool mount.

Those who can resist riding the motorcycle and choose to travel by teleportation are truly ruthless.

However, all the magic given by Koizumi Akako seems to require a medium to cast.

gem.

Although Koizumi Akako herself had never seen her use gemstones as a medium, she herself needed them.

Red magic was replaced by gem magic in Qi Ming's case.

That's right, what the seller sells and what the buyer buys are always different.

According to the system description, the rarer the gem, the more powerful the magical effect and the higher its durability.

In addition, magic has a proficiency level; the higher the proficiency, the greater the power of the magic cast.

Seeing Qi Ming's dazed expression, Koizumi Akako couldn't help but smile.

"Can you understand it? Do you want me to translate it for you?"

The contents of the parchment were not in Japanese or English, but rather in the cipher text of their Red Magic lineage.

To others, these characters were nothing more than scribbles.

Koizumi Akako came today to dissuade Qi Ming from his idea of ​​learning magic.

"Why can't I understand it?"

However, upon hearing Koizumi Akako's slightly arrogant words...

Qi Ming simply rolled his eyes at Koizumi Akako.

Then, he picked up the scrolls and spoke to Koizumi Akako one by one.

"This is called teleportation, this is called sealing, this is called a large fireball spell, this is called a summoning spell..."

Seeing that Qi Ming accurately recited the magic recorded on the scroll, Koizumi Akako was somewhat surprised.

However, Koizumi Akako soon came to terms with it.

After all, this guy is a demon who has cultivated to the point of enlightenment.

It's not surprising that you can understand the text above.

"Can I start studying now?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, Koizumi Akako tilted her head back and let out a soft hum.

Understanding something doesn't mean you can learn it.

Today, she brought the most complex and obscure magic in the family, magic that even she herself had not mastered.

Moreover, since red magic is passed down through bloodlines, Koizumi Akako didn't believe that spirits were really that omnipotent.

"Hmph, go ahead and learn it. You'll be able to learn it from me..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Koizumi Akako only saw the rolls of parchment that Qi Ming was holding turn into specks of light and dissipate.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Koizumi Akako's eyes widened slightly, and she asked, her lips moving slightly.

"Where is my scroll?"

Seeing Koizumi Akako's strange expression, Qi Ming scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Once a skill book is used, it will definitely disappear."

"Disappeared?"

"Yeah, didn't you just say I could learn?"

Upon hearing this, Koizumi Akako's eyes instantly lost their luster, and her body trembled involuntarily.

"My scroll, my scroll..."

"I only have one copy of those scrolls, no backup. They contain the most advanced magic!"

Koizumi Akako murmured, her voice even trembling with a hint of tears.

She felt like her heart was bleeding this time, and she really wanted to cry out loud.

But this damned red magic curse, why does it make me lose all my magic power as soon as I cry!

Suddenly remembering something, Koizumi Akako turned to look at Haibara Ai and said in a trembling voice:

"Little sister, please cry, please help me cry!"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara felt her head buzzing.

I've never heard of such a request before.

What does it mean to help you cry?

Seeing that Ai Haibara had no reaction, Koizumi Akako couldn't help but place her hands on Ai Haibara's shoulders and gently shake her.

"Hurry up, I can't hold it in anymore, help me cry!"

"I... I can't cry."

Ai Haibara let Koizumi Akako sway her, her delicate body swaying back and forth gently, abandoning all thought.

Koizumi Akako gritted her teeth, her index finger tinged with red light, and lightly touched the little girl's forehead.

In an instant, Ai Haibara felt a stinging sensation in her eyes, and then tears streamed down her cheeks.

"What, what did you do? I... Waaah, why am I crying?"

Seeing this, Koizumi Akako's heart, which had been on the verge of tears, was calmed down.

She gently patted Ai Haibara's back as she sobbed, offering soft words of comfort.

"Cry, cry, it's okay, crying will make you feel better."

"Waaaaah, I don't want to cry! What are you doing? Make me stop!"

"It's okay, go ahead and cry!"

Qi Ming, who was watching this scene from the side, was stunned.

Are these two crazy?
