Point of view of a girl from another world.
The furthest town. Cusosa is a remote village located right between the Kingdom of Auvai and the Hanandor Empire.
That is my hometown.
By chance, it seems that I have a talent as a magician. As far as I remember, I can somehow manipulate the mana.
My parents were happy with that, so they asked the only magician in our town, an old man, to teach me the basic knowledge and practices of magic.
I surpassed the power of the old man on my 11th birthday, so my parents decided to enroll me in a prestigious magic school.
Cusosa is in the territory of the Auvai kingdom at the moment. That is why it was decided to go to the Auvai Kingdom National Magic Academy in the capital of the Auvai Kingdom.
In terms of magic, the Auvai Kingdom is a bit inferior to other countries. Because of that, the doors of the magic academy are open for everyone to protect talented people as much as possible.
And, if you enroll in the academy and can be in the top 100, admission is free.
Also, the top 50 students, recognized as someone with high rank, work directly in the Auvai Kingdom.
At the academy, I somehow managed to raise my rank to 50th place. Those who are ranked 50 to 60 are being recruited by nobles.
I participated in a dance for nobles in which the final year students of the academy can participate. There, I came face to face with the earl of my hometown, Orra Oibla Drucalli.
When I tell the duke that I want to work with him, Drucalli gladly approved. They made me dance for a song at the venue.
I was embarrassed because I gathered everyone's attention, but I remember feeling like a hero in a story. After graduating from school, I headed to my hometown so that I could report it to my parents.
We have always exchanged letters but I have not seen my parents' faces for five years.
During the return trip my heart pounded which makes my 2 week trip bearable. By the way, I negotiated with the street vendor to hire me as a guard, which makes my trip free and I will even earn 1 gold coin.
Speaking of gold coins, one is enough for a family to live long enough for three months.
When I got to town, I went to see my parents in a triumphant way.
However, the meetings with my parents were not as brilliant as I had imagined.
"Welcome, you have grown."
My mother, who smiled when she said it, is so thin it looks like her flesh was ripped off.
She raised her upper body onto the bed with her back turned like an old woman.
"What ... happened mother !?"
I made a squeaky voice and headed towards my mother. So whether my loud voice had hurt her body, the mother laughed and coughs as if she was worried.
"I've been getting worse for two years… I didn't write it down in the letter so you don't worry about who is doing everything possible alone. Sorry."
My father took a painful look and gently rubbed my mother's back.
Looking at him, my father seems to be thinner than before and his body has become smaller.
He worked desperately to find a cure for mother.
"I kept it a secret because I thought my condition would improve before you returned home. You studied properly and graduated quickly. You could have tried learning a little slower. "
My mother told a joke and laughed happily.
I could not stand it. I sat next to my mother, I talked a lot about the memories that I wanted to tell my parents, like things about school, magic, life in the kingdom.
"Therefore, mother. I will work for the duke from now on. Anyway, because it was ranked 56. "
"Oh that's amazing!"
"If you are going to return to the capital, do you have expenses for the trip?"
"I was a street vendor's guard so he gave me a gold coin."
"Wow, you have become a self-reliant person. When you were in this town, you were a terribly shy person to the extent that I am concerned. "
When I made an effort to recount the recent situation with a smile, my mother finds it very funny and sometimes she smiles as if she was very entertained.
This was the conversation he had envisioned. For me, who is in the capital that misses her hometown, this is the conversation with my mother that I have dreamed of.
But I am not happy at all.
"Mother, I did my best ... So, get well soon ... this ..."
The limit of patience has come. My nose is painful, my tears overflow from my eyes.
I don't want to show such a figure.
I don't want to upset my parents.
But I couldn't suppress it.
My father gently stroked my head which is crying like a child.
At that moment, loud footsteps and voices echoed from outside the house.
"I'll take a look."
When my father said that, he opened the door of our house and stuck his face out.
I saw my father's back talking to our neighbor outside our house. I could tell that anxiety arose in my chest.
Because my father opened the door, the bustle outside hit my earlobe like a clear alarm bell.
"Apparently there seem to be guys claiming to be a group of mercenaries trying to break into the village. Now the village chief seems to be buying time saying that he is going to collect money and food. "
My father tells us that while looking at us with a stern expression.
"Buying time ... What are you going to do with the time you earn? Even the group of knights will not go to such a place and go to a nearby town to ask for help will not arrive in time. "
When I say that, my father who looks at my mother looks at me.
"In other words ... while the mercenary group has forcibly occupied the town, they will take whatever they can and we will flee to the rear. Although the possibility is low, they can be withdrawn after taking only the goods and money. For the moment, you must head to the other side of town with the luggage you had before. "
"Wait a minute, what will mom and dad do? If the father leads the mother and moves,
You will definitely be caught! "
My father was amazed at what I said when I objected. However, my father shakes his head without taking my objection.
"There is a great possibility that there are mercenaries on the other side of town. Maybe something will happen if you are alone. Don't worry about us. "
"Okay. If that happens, I'll run."
They both said so and gave me my luggage. There was no doubt in her pupils and her resolution is absolute.
I, no, me too ... I decided to prepare.
"I understand ... I will go ahead and wait at the back of the village."
As he said it, they nodded with a smile as if they were relieved.
I reaffirmed them both, took my luggage and left the house first.
And I ran looking for the village chief.
"However… is this really good? If you can do it safely ... No, either way, the result will be good for the village, regardless of success or failure. "
The village chief showed a complex expression, but in the end he listened to my proposal.
I desperately carried my restless legs as if I had been in heat. I went to the place where the group of mercenaries is with two villagers who were in charge of the hunt.
"Hm ... my shaking with excitement doesn't stop."
"Your bluff is ... well, in this small town, it's probably crazy to show it in front of the eyes of the people."
While listening to a conversation between the two, I opened my mouth in front of the group of mercenaries. You probably should have thought about what to say beforehand.
When I realized it, I was already desperately amassing magic power.
It is a magic that boasts of being the second most powerful anti-army spell in the water system. I pride myself on this magic that is even a first-class spell in the academy.
However, it is unfortunate that it has a very long launch time, will I be able to use it in time? I think this is the reason why I couldn't break the 50th place barrier.
However, this has given the mercenary group a major setback and should have bought enough time for everyone to escape.
When I thought about it, I saw the mercenary boys approaching from there at a distance of about 20 meters.
The power of the mercenary group's gazes is abnormal. He has an overwhelming hatred against me that has exhausted his magical powers.
However, if they make their way here, my mother ...
I found myself standing while gritting my teeth.
There is no victory. The two people who escorted me were injured.
But I have to do something!
As I was determined to do so, the men wearing armor in front of me suddenly fell to the ground.
"You're good?"
When I was interrupted by the show before my eyes, I heard a cute girlish voice.
"Hey?"
When I tried to look for her, there was a brown haired girl in strange clothes who looked younger than me.
"It seems there are no injuries. The men there will be taken care of so take heart. "
When the girl just says that in a flat voice without tension, I look at the men wearing armor who fell to the ground.
Looking at him, there is a girl with black hair who is tending the wounds of the two guys who escorted me.
Looking back at the group of mercenaries, I understood what was happening to them as I watched them as they dispersed. Is incredible. A woman with long blonde hair wearing strange clothes shot the armored men with strange magic with her strange magic staff.
Moreover, the woman is strikingly beautiful. I wonder if she's a sister to these girls.
"What what? What's going on? Ah, what is that person doing?"
La chica inclinó la cabeza confundida como si no entendiera lo que estoy diciendo.
"Ella les esta disparando..."
Me quedé sin palabras y endurecida por la respuesta que provenía de la chica extrañamente bonita.
¿Cómo disparar magia continuamente sin cansarse?
Las voces de los hombres, que estaban muriendo por los la chica y los demás hombres con extrañas ropas que usaban también esos bastones mágicos.
"Hm... ¿estás bien? Este era un lugar peligroso. Por cierto, ¿puedo pedirte un poco la dirección? Ah, por favor, dime si sabes el nombre del país y el nombre de este lugar."
Cuando miré la dirección de la voz, como dudo de mi oído por la pregunta fuera de lugar,
había siete u ocho hombres y mujeres caminando hacia mí.

Saihtam Viewpoint
The confused girl and the two men shocked when their injuries were healed.
Realmente es un mundo diferente. Es una escena de fantasía.
Sin embargo, nunca pensé que Erika fuera una buena tiradora. Si bien es cierto que le di las instrucciones adecuadas, ella simplemente apunta con su rifle y dispara.
"Ah, esto ..."
Cuando pensaba en esa miseria ociosa, la niña se volvió hacia mí y me llamó.
La niña no sabe a quién mirar, por lo que abre la boca mientras mira hacia otro lado.
Me pregunto si su trastorno mental se habrá recuperado lo suficiente como para responder a mi pregunta.
Cuando miro a la niña de nuevo, noto que la condición de la niña es algo extraña.
"¿Hm? ¿Te sientes mal? No parece que te hayan lastimado, pero ¿estás lastimado en alguna parte?"
La tez de la chica era un poco mala y le temblaban los dedos. No, tal vez ella pueda estar aterrorizada por Erika que se enfurece como un demonio.
"Ah, es sólo un agotamiento mágico ... Me recuperaré después de un tiempo".
La chica respondió bajando levemente los ojos como avergonzada.
Abro la boca inconscientemente como lo que siempre he hecho en el juego.
Saco un frasco de medicina de mi bolsillo.
Le ofrecí el frasco de medicina a la niña. Es un frasco de vidrio que está etiquetado con una cruz roja.
"Eh, algo ... tan caro ... me recuperaré a tiempo."
"No te preocupes. No necesito dinero".
Parece que la medicina es cara dependiendo de la reacción de la niña. Pensé que debería abstenerme de intentar venderle la medicina a la niña.
En la guerra mundial. Los medicamentos se utilizaron para restaurar HP de jugadores y NPC. Existen medicamentos de nivel bajo, medio y alto. Cuanto mayor sea la calidad, más caro y difícil de obtener. También hay un avivamiento, que solo se puede lograr en un evento de juego especial, del cual fui uno de los pocos en hacerlo.
Sin embargo, la niña negó con la cabeza y se negó a aceptar la medicina.
"¡Uh, no puedo aceptar eso! Porque mi poder mágico se recuperará en medio día."
"No, tómalo."
Instintivamente lo dije con los ojos medio abiertos después de escuchar que le tomaría medio día recuperarse. ¿La chica se sorprendió por mi forma contundente de decir las cosas? Ella recibió la medicina a regañadientes.
Por un momento, la chica se interpuso entre la medicina y yo. Parece que decidió beberlo, toma el tapón de la botella pequeña con sus dedos temblorosos y se vierte el líquido en la boca.
"Esto es ... Esto es una poción mágica ..."
La chica que bebió la poci��n mágica de color rojo oscuro, como sangre, mira la botella vacía con asombro mientras siente que su poder mágico se recupera.
Parece que las medicinas del juego también funcionan en este mundo y restauran el poder mágico. ¿La magia y HP son lo mismo? Bueno, no había magia en el juego. Entonces, no estoy seguro.
Quizás las medicinas sean más caras de lo que imaginaba.
Pensé en algo así, pero lo negué en mi corazón cuando miro el pequeño pueblo que parece un pequeño asentamiento.
No hay duda de que será inusual que haya una poción mágica aquí, ya que es una simple
pueblo rural. El comerciante que viene a vender debe subir el precio considerablemente para cubrir la tarifa del flete.
No, ella es la única que puede lanzar magia hasta el punto de desafiar a un grupo de mercenarios con solo dos guardias. No importa cómo lo piense, no hay demanda de pociones mágicas en esta ciudad.
Le abrí la boca a la chica cuando estaba convencido de mí mismo.
"Ahora, déjame escuchar tu respuesta a mi pregunta".
"Eh, ah ... quiero decir, me gustaría preguntarte si pudiera ... Lo siento, pero ¿podrías venir a la ciudad una vez? Expulsó al grupo de mercenarios ... no, quiero hablar con el jefe de la aldea sobre su recompensa por aniquilarlos. "
La chica dijo tan vacilante y miró hacia arriba en disculpa.
Es inevitable que el color de la vigilancia y el miedo se mezclen en alguna parte. Ahora, si le digo a la chica que Erika está parada detrás de ella sin hacer ningún sonido, puede desmayarse.
"Está bien. Cuanta más información, mejor. ¿Puedes presentarme al jefe de la aldea?"
"¡Sí, sí! Vayamos a la ciudad de inmediato."
La niña recuperó su ánimo con mi respuesta.
* * *
Cuando entramos al pueblo y sacamos los cadáveres del grupo de mercenarios que se encuentran confinados a la entrada del pueblo, aparecieron varios aldeanos. Todos son hombres, excepto una persona.
Solo hay casas de madera en este pueblo. No existen tiendas ni posadas.
Solo hay casas de un piso y graneros.
Inesperadamente, los aldeanos no eran solo personas mayores. ¿No se está despoblando?
Cuando estaba pensando en algo grosero para el pueblo, un grupo de hombres y mujeres salió de entre los aldeanos. También hay una mujer morbosamente delgada que es sostenida por un hombre. ¿Es la ira y la tristeza lo que flota en el rostro del hombre y la mujer? Esa es una mirada muy complicada, no, están mirando a la niña maga.
El hombre miraba a la chica con expresión severa, pero de repente abrió la
boca a tu contemplación.
"He tenido noticias de Keema. No puedo agradecerles lo suficiente por salvar este pueblo. Y la vida de mi hija ... Muchas gracias. Lo siento mucho, pero quiero hablar con mi hija de inmediato. ¿Puedo llevarme a mi hija? "
Keema podría ser cualquiera de los dos hombres que cuida a la niña.
"Ah, no me importa. Sólo los tres intentaron detener al grupo de mercenarios. Podrías haberte preocupado".
Cuando dije eso, reconociendo las intenciones del hombre, el hombre se mordió la boca como para apretar los dientes y bajó la cabeza silenciosa y profundamente.
Parece que el hombre y la mujer son los padres de la niña, pero en lo que respecta a su actitud, la niña parece haber tomado tales acciones sin su consentimiento.
La niña también vio los sentimientos de sus padres. Tiene un rostro que estuvo a punto de llorar como sus padres.
"Lo siento ... me tomaré unos minutos. Le diré sinceramente al jefe del pueblo sobre su éxito por todos los medios."
La niña se detuvo y dijo eso con una cara que quería detener sus sentimientos, pero no dije nada en particular y solo asentí.
Para una niña que conocí por primera vez, me es imposible mediar en una disputa entre padre e hija. Quiero decir, ellos también me gritarán.
¿Se transmitieron sentimientos de mi cara? La niña camina pesadamente hacia sus padres.
Cuando estaba mirando la espalda de la niña cuando se iba, un hombre de mediana edad dio un paso adelante.
Encantado de conocerte ... Soy el jefe del pueblo, Denma. Muchas gracias por tu tiempo. Gracias a ti, la ciudad se salvó. Si tu tiempo lo permite, puedes relajarte en mi casa. "
"Oh gracias."
