Reincarnation Band Magician

"Xiangzi hasn't read any books on northern geography, has he?"

Art was feeding Clara breakfast, and he stopped mid-sentence to wipe the corner of the child's mouth with his handkerchief.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

Clara called out, continuing to eat.

The touch of the hard object caused Aite to feel a little pain.

Teeth growing.

Shoko Toyokawa was attracted by his wife's maternal attitude. After watching for a while, she finally understood the conversation.

"Well, what's wrong?"

She basically only read magic books, replenishing her knowledge like a sponge absorbs water. Those "miscellaneous books" were read by Nagasaki Kiyoshi, which was also part of the division of labor and cooperation.

Aite put on his clothes and told her, "It's not even halfway through now. Generally speaking, winter here lasts four to six months."

"what?"

"I was also surprised at the time. Now that I think about it, the northern countries closest to the Demon King's Castle were able to hold on for a while, probably because of this."

Aite guessed so, and after tidying up his clothes, he called out to the door, "Qing, Clara has finished her meal."

The child would always be shy about this kind of thing, even Xiangzi was the same, who always looked like he wanted to look but didn't dare to.

In her eyes, these two children were somewhere between younger siblings and sons and daughters. Although they were adults (15), they seemed to have never been exposed to the adult world. She didn't know what they were learning before.

It should be noted that Ms. Aite is... 20 years old this year.

Clara, one and a half years old.

Because of the war with the demons and the internal strife among the surrounding small countries, her scheduled wedding date was postponed for two years.

Now I have to be grateful for those two years. I learned a lot of things by staying at home, which I am using now.

Aite vaguely felt a tacit understanding between him and the two of them. The speed of teaching knowledge was faster, while etiquette and musical instruments could be taught in a leisurely manner. Solitaire could not feel it, and just said that they were striving for excellence.

Well, she only has about a year left to finish teaching.

Aite suppressed her anxiety and sadness, looked at Xiangzi, smiled helplessly, and with the symbol of motherhood, she joked: "You and Qing always care about this kind of thing."

The girl didn't have the knowledge of an adult yet, and blushed as she said, "Of course I care about my stockings falling off!"

"You're Clara's 'sister', so it's okay to be closer. Do you want mommy to hold you?"

"Etsu-san!"

"Okay~"

The child was so anxious that he started speaking his native dialect, so Aite stopped talking.

[It’s better to learn now, it will be easier later...]

She thought so, but then she felt that if the two children were still here at that time... it might not be something to be happy about.

Aite felt depressed and couldn't come up with a joke, so he just gave up.

Shigaraki Kiyoshi opened the door, but held his wand.

Solitaire, who was huddled in front of the fireplace, opened her eyes, and her emerald eyes looked into the distance with dissatisfaction.

"Looks like there's some trouble. I might have to be out for a few days."

She waved, and the red coat in the closet flew out.

It seems like something important.

……

High in the sky, a demon in a black robe and a skull helmet sensed the atmosphere in the room.

The large green-haired demon flew up.

"what's up."

"The Demon King's orders. Livale mentioned that you were nearby. I'm here to convey the Demon King's and Shulahat's orders."

Hearing this, the witch fiddled with her fingers.

"Also," the Demon King's envoy said, "the two people inside have pretty good magic power. Can they eat? I'm a little hungry."

The summoned great demons made a triangle gesture, as if admiring their nails.

"Don't mess up my house."

The envoy fell.

【3, 2, 1——】

"Boom!"

There was a hole in the second floor.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi held up his magic wand, "hugged" the demon and smashed it onto the hard snow.

The broken wand pierced his throat and heart. The envoy looked up at the sky, "Solitier... why did you just..."

Solitaire said nonchalantly, "You really eat it."

……

PS: Solitaire is not in seclusion, she just found a remote place. People like Mahat who wander around everywhere can hear the rumor that "there is a strange demon here who likes to study humans."

In the Cage: 54. The demons are not at home today.

"This time, the scale of human mobilization is quite large, but it seems to be an opportunity. The previous operation was discovered by the Demon Lord. It seems that I will have to go on a long journey. This time, it will take about... a month?"

Solitaire looked at the three people with some distress.

"If I bring you along, there are a lot of idiots like you here today. If I don't..."

She hesitated, raised her hand, pinched Nagasaki Qing's face, and praised with a smile: "You are very good at hiding your breath. You were very decisive and swift just now."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome, um... you guys just stay here and behave yourself. This time it's the Demon King's order. There's nothing we can do about it. This time it's the Demon King's order. If you disobey, the next one might be the Seven Bengxian.

"Judging from the way I was notified, it shouldn't be something particularly important. With any luck, I'll be back in half a month. I'll bring you gifts then."

It's like a parent giving instructions to his child before going on a long journey.

The three of them felt as if the ice in their hearts had melted, and they were overjoyed, even overshadowing the shock of being attacked by the demons just now - although the other party was killed by Nagasaki List as soon as he landed, it was indeed a shock.

Even if they couldn't leave, the absence of a dangerous creature like Solitiel could greatly relax their minds.

……

The petite demon disappeared under the clear sky.

The two people in the room high-fived to celebrate.

Don't worry about Solitude, she won't care about such things.

Afterwards, Nagasaki Kiyoshi spent the entire morning investigating. His magical perception was very sharp, and even Solitaire's arrangements could not be hidden from him.

The conventional way for magicians to perceive is to use special senses other than the five senses to process magic to capture the magic around them, such as the vomeronasal organ of amphibians, to collect magic signals and then send them to the brain for processing.

In addition, there are also the construction of perception barriers to send out large magic signals, as well as other special perception magic and so on.

Generally speaking, the more skilled a magician is at manipulating magic power, the more precise their perception will be.

The two people who have physiques that can adapt to the other world and produce magic naturally have such functions.

Qing's perception system was directly patched by the demons and is much more advanced than that of humans.

Maybe he has a talent in this area, and his perception accuracy within a short distance can even surpass that of Solitaire.

Moreover, after suppressing most of his magic power within his body, there was almost no magical reaction around him when he received and processed magical information, and even Solitiel's counter-reconnaissance was unable to capture him.

It's a skill for the weak.

All efforts to survive are not something to be ashamed of.

Walked around the room twice.

Sure enough, there were two layers of detection barriers around, and they were also attached with trigger magic, so it was difficult for him to explore deeper.

In principle, it is a magic that is attached with special magic power for tracking.

With Solitiel's mobility, as long as she is still in the northern plateau and senses that there is a problem with the barrier, she can rush back within three days.

When the time comes, we can follow the magic signal to track them. With the mobility of three people and a child, they won’t be able to run far.

I'd better study the barrier. If it doesn't change next time...

Nagasaki Kiyoshi didn't think that Solitaire would make such a mistake, but it could be recorded.

Try, keep trying.

The size of the barrier is from the distant bay to the forest border.

It is quite large, with enough distance for activities, and is quite "humane".

Then there are other arrangements in the house. Every magic book on the bookshelf, down to every page, has a mark, which will be triggered when turned over.

This is the most delicate part, and it concerns what magic they have learned.

Finally, all the chickens were enchanted. Combined with Solitude's occasional mention of things she didn't see, it was probably a spell similar to recording sounds or vision.

There were a few unlucky birds in the distance, controlled by the same magic that controlled the horses before. They huddled in the trees in the heavy snow, and their bodies also showed reactions to the magic.

There's a feeling of cameras everywhere.

Even so, it's much better than when Solitier was here.

……

"Qing, you still need practice."

Aite frowned as he listened to Qing's violin performance and said this tactfully.

But at least I can play the whole song. Although it is more laborious to count where I made mistakes at the beginning and where I did not make mistakes later.

Xiangzi finished practicing the clarinet. Since he had never learned it before, it was a little difficult for him to get started.

Fortunately, her understanding helped, and she was still much quicker than Qing.

I am cleaning the reed and mouthpiece now, and I will learn how to clean them later.

After being criticized for her violin technique, it was Qing's turn to play the clarinet. She felt that her flute playing level was about the same as that of the purple-haired little girl in a certain daily animation, or even a little worse. At least she could really play it intermittently.

In Aite's words, his playing is like a dying person who is full of nostalgia for the world but cannot express it in words.

It's so sad.

That’s it for today.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi put away his musical instruments. "That means, if things go well, spring will arrive in two months, right? Time to think about what to buy then."

"Isn't it too early?"

Ed nodded gently. "Start thinking now."

In this place, you always need some expectations to persevere.

Qing thought, "Let's find a place to record it first. I want a separate instrument."

Especially the clarinet, sharing one with two ladies made him very uncomfortable. It was okay for him and Xiangzi to practice separately, but sometimes Mrs. Ate would take the instrument directly and demonstrate to them and point out the loopholes.

This lady really doesn't shy away from suspicion.

Qing felt that it might be because he had always been concerned about these things and was so cautious that he learned slowly.

This reminded Qing that before he learned bass, his mother took him to visit a musical instrument training institution. Initially, he planned to learn harmonica or flute, which are easy to carry.

Then, these two teachers are middle-aged men.

When the young Nagasaki Kiyoshi saw them quietly pouring water after they finished playing, his eyes widened.

There is a shadow on the wind instruments.

Now that I think about it, if it was a graceful and elegant lady like Aite...it would probably be so popular that he might not be able to apply for it.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi suppressed his imagination in time.
