BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 - Magical Device
Chapter 12 - Magical Device
I returned from the noble district to the residential area.
I decided to live in the house I first saw.
On a three-floor house.
It was a mansion for me, who had lived in a thatched-roof house in the village.
I came to the fountain square in front of the house.
There was a crowd of people.
"Did something happen?"
"It looks like, they\'re getting excited."
When I and Elsa approached the crowd, then looked through the space between the wall of human crowd.
There was Meryl in the center of the crowd.
A pointy hat like a witch.
With a pretty babyface face.
Wearing highly exposed clothes with her shoulders and navel exposed to the open air. On the bottom was wearing a skirt. That was the kind of fashion that eccentric weirdos wore.
Meryl was playing juggling with fireball magic that she was created.
Five fireballs roam around the palms of both hands.
The children who saw it were clapping their hands with a smile.
The adults were whistling.
"Hoihoitto?"
Perhaps Meryl took care of it, now she started showing water art. Water gushed like a fountain from a fan in both her hands. (Note: Aqua-sama???)
Reflected in the sunlight, splashes were shining and glittering.
"Good!"
"Very beautiful!"
The spectators cheered at Meryl\'s water art.
"Fufuun. The last. I\'ll show you the best!"
Meryl said, "Look overhead."
She fired a fireball at the sky passed through the roof of the buildings. That fireball soared high to the sky while released a red tail.
Then Red light flowers bloomed with a burst of noise.
""Oohhhhh!""
The spectators saw the firework and gave thunderous applause.
Meryl smiled when she saw the spectators\' excitement, and she took a triangular hat off and bowed deeply.
"Please, if you like!"
The spectators inserted coins into the triangular hat that were turned inside out.
Jabu jabu.
The triangle hat was full of coins.
"Yatta~ ? A pocket money, get ?"
Meryl was rubbing on a triangular hat full of coins on her cheek,
"Money-chan. Love you love you!"
She muttered so.
"...Meryl. Did you finally get up?"
Elsa shouted mingled amazed.
"Ah, Elsa! Papa too! Good morning?"
"It\'s already noon."
I smiled.
"You did a street performance, huh?"
"Yeah. I was free until papa and the others came here. Thanks to it, I got a lot of money."
"It was quite a lot, right."
"I\'m doing it many times? Everyone is happy to see my magic. While I can get money, that\'s two birds with one stone!"
"Meryl, do you not intend to work normally? With the skills you have, you can get a job from anywhere."
"No, Me-chan just want to purr all the time."
Meryl said it while whining.
"I can\'t help it..." Elsa sighed. "More than that, how you know we\'ll come here."
"The other day, didn\'t Elsa told me the candidates for the house? I think papa will surely choose this in the residential area than the noble district."
"Do Meryl prefer to live in the noble district?"
"No at all. I do like money. But, I hate people who are arrogant because they have money."
Meryl exhaled a poisonous word in a sweet voice.
She seemed to have a conviction.
"Well, I don\'t care to live anywhere as long as I live with papa. Cause, Me-chan love papa so much."
When Meryl hugged me, she spoiled herself like a puppy who wanted to say, "The smell of daddy after a long time~?".
"It\'s been a long time... I met you a week ago, though."
Meryl was back in the village once a week.
Unlike Elsa, who worked as an S-rank adventurer and a knight commander, and Anna, who worked as a guild master, it could be done because she was free.
"Emergency! Someone, please come here!"
I heard a call from somewhere.
When we looked at our faces each other, then, an adult man stood in trouble in front of another fountain.
"What\'s wrong?" I asked.
“It seems that the magical power of the magical device that is moving this fountain has run out... If it is left as it is, we will not be able to secure water for our daily life."
When I saw it, the spherical magical device that was fitted into the pedestal of the fountain had lost its light.
Because of that, the spring water had stopped.
"Meryl. What should we do in this case?"
Elsa asked Meryl, the creator of that magical device.
"Easy peasy? You just need to pour magical power into the magic device."
"Then I\'ll take that work."
When I entered the withered fountain, I put my hand on the magical device that was fitted into the pedestal.
And I poured my magical power into the magical device.
Paa~……!
The magical device, which had lost its light, emitted a strong light.
The next moment――.
Again, clean spring water began to emerge from the fountain.
"Ooh! Once again, the water is!"
That man raised a voice of joy.
“Thank you very much! It is saved us a lot!”
"No, no problem."
"Are you perhaps...Meryl-sama\'s father?"
"Ee~. That\'s right."
“Meryl-sama has developed magical devices so that we, the common people, can also get the benefit from magic. The quality of life has improved dramatically. Until then, it was difficult to secure water for daily use.\'\'
The man took my hand and bowed deeply.
"Really, thank you very much"
"It\'s good for you"
I smiled, then we parted from that man. Walked toward home. Along the way, I spoke to Meryl.
"Meryl\'s magical technology is for the sake of the world and the peoples."
"I\'m great, right?"
"Oh, you\'re so great. I\'m very proud of my daughter who she\'s too good for me."
"Hehehe? pat me~"
I gently patted Meryl\'s head.
Meryl had a happy expression, with laughing "Mufufu?". It was such an expression that I couldn\'t believe she was a genius who revolutionized city life.
