No, no, this crazy old man, really.

“Hello! My name is Estelle!”

I was wondering who he was trying to summon, when he suddenly said such a ridiculous thing about calling a person who is good at magic, and he really did summon the second protagonist, a saint, out of nowhere.

“Uh, that… Yeah, my name is Theo… .”

“Hey Mr. Theo?”

“No, just Theo.”

“Ah.”

When it comes to saints, it’s common to see them with blonde hair, but what I remember most from the game is that this saint had blue hair.

And whether she was a saint or a holy woman, she was the type who got hurt a lot by her straightforward and inconsiderate personality and made a lot of enemies.

But it’s definitely much better to see her as a saint, wearing that white saint’s outfit, and her chest… Ah, no. Ahem. But I’m a man? Of course it’s right to see that side first, right…?!

“Theo’s expression just now was like a total pervert.”

“… No.”

“That’s right.”

“Well, all men are like that in front of pretty women, so let’s leave that aside. Aren’t you busy these days?”

“No, I’m not busy. I’m just waiting forever.”

No, you’re an adult? Is it right for you to not be busy as a saint?

Shouldn’t you be busy treating people?

… Of course, there is no such scene in the game.

If his people or the crown prince are hurt, he uses his tremendous power to heal them, but he is not a good person to give his power away to ordinary people for free.

“Then teach me some magic.”

But anyway, if she’s a saint, isn’t she focusing on her sexual power?

Was there a setting that said he was good at using magic?

I’ve played countless games, but I’ve never seen a setting like that before, so I’m having trouble deciding.

“Hmm, sir. I don’t move without money.”

A very direct and blunt voice of a saint is heard.

“Of course I’ll pay you. How about this amount per hour?”

“Is that all I can do?”

“Hey, I’m the neighborhood butcher. Please take a look.”

“Hmm… Then let’s have a pig party next time.”

“… Oh, okay, I got it. Deal.”

Somehow I feel like a huge deal is going on without me.

I don’t understand why they insist on making me learn magic. In the first place, I’m just a villager… no, I’m just a really cool villager. If I focus on swordsmanship and all that, I’ll barely be able to pass the academy!

What a waste of time on magic! Of course, aside from the time I spend learning swordsmanship, I have nothing better to do than farm work!

“Hmm, then Mr. Theo. Let’s give it a try.”

“It looks like you’ve finished bargaining.”

“Yes, I found something I like.”

The reason my heart races when I see her smiling brightly is because, no matter how bad her personality is, the main character, the saintess Estelle, is an incredibly beautiful woman.

“Hmm, Mr. Theo, your magic potion is really big?”

“Huh? You have a big magic potion? Me?”

“Yes, but the amount of mana in there is only the size of a booger, so you can’t feel anything and you can’t help but not know.”

Even when saying the same thing, there are people in this world who say it nicely and people who say it badly.

Estelle is exactly the latter type of person.

It’s obviously the same thing, and it’s probably a casual thing, but it’s said in an incredibly hateful way.

“I think you need to fill up some magic power. Do you know how to breathe mana? You don’t? That’s why you asked me to teach you, right?”

“Yes, I don’t know.”

Usually I’m called a snow person.

If they treat me rudely, I’ll treat them rudely too.

Oh, of course, if you say that Estelle is a cheapskate, it would be a bit… off-putting.

Anyway, since the other person is being easygoing, I’ll just listen to what they say without getting hurt and filter it out.

If you don’t do that, Estelle will be really difficult and tricky to deal with.

“Okay, look. Let’s try this pose for now.”

Look at that guy, he’s not the kind of guy whose purpose in life is to pick a fight with someone.

It’s just the way he speaks.

Is it because I got so many wounds while playing this game in the beginning?

I find it a bit surprising that Estelle doesn’t hurt me anymore.

“Like this?”

“Ugh, don’t be so ugly.”

“Can the posture be bad?”

“Carrot.”

***

‘A strange person.’

Estelle watched Theo, who was learning mana breathing right in front of her, breathing hard, and only let out a sigh of admiration.

‘You didn’t look hurt at all.’

Estelle also knew well the things she had felt while living and her own personality.

Because of her straightforward speech and personality, she was hated by many people, and everyone seemed offended or hurt when they first talked to her.

‘The other day, that crown princess… also had a very unpleasant expression on her face.’

The Crown Princess was no different from when we met a long time ago on a friendly basis between the empires.

The Emperor was a very old and sly person, so no matter what he said, his expression would not change, but the Crown Princess was different.

He had the impression that he would really enjoy teasing people his own age.

But there was someone who caught my interest even more than the crown princess.

“Hmm, is it like this… .”

A man named Theo, who Duncan introduced me to.

‘Should I stick with this side rather than the obvious ones?’

She let out a laugh and tapped Theo on the shoulder.

“Relax your shoulders. You’re tense.”

“Oh, yep.”

Moreover, even though he clearly had no idea about mana breathing, he was actually doing it even though I only taught him the theory.

I guess I understand why Duncan was so insistent on teaching him.

‘That Duncan.’

It was about ten years ago that Duncan and Estelle met.

When Estelle was still 10 years old.

She was still a saint then, but she just wanted to be free from the heavy burden of that title and everything else.

An early puberty led her down the fascinating path of running away from home.

I ran away from home and realized there was a job for me as an adventurer, but there was no place that would take me as a 10-year-old without an adventurer’s license.

‘Hey, little miss. First, you need to register as an adventurer.’

‘Huh? Really? Thank you, sir.’

‘Call me oppa.’

‘mister.’

‘… .’

He was the only adult among the adults who had not told her anything, and he was the one who had told her the beginning, and he had even taken her to his parties.

To Estelle, he was the adult among adults who guided her away from strange and distorted places.

So this time I trusted him and came to teach Theo.

‘Anyway, that old man has an outstanding eye for people.’

If it became known that such an incredible talent was among the commoners, it was certain that the emperor of the empire would also be jealous.

The magical power that Theo held within his body was so enormous that it was impossible to believe.

“How is it? Are you feeling the magic now?”

Mana breathing in a place surrounded by a forest rich in magical energy.

But even so, the speed at which he accepted the magic power was different.

Estelle asked, confirming that the amount that would take several days for others to feel had increased.

“Hmm, it feels strange, like something refreshing and cold.”

“I felt it exactly. That’s magic?”

Once you start to recognize the magic, it’s actually easy from then on.

Because all you had to do was learn the spell and draw out your magical power.

“But aren’t you a saint?”

“Ah? You knew my identity?”

“You didn’t even think about hiding it…?”

The fact that she revealed her name as Estelle, and the fact that she kept her hair and eye color the same as before, which she always changed when appearing in front of others.

Estelle even seemed to have no intention of hiding the starlight embedded in her forehead.

“I didn’t intend to hide it… ”

“I guess so. If that’s hidden, then it doesn’t make sense.”

If he had any intention of hiding it, he should have at least hidden the starlight on his forehead, Theo thought.

“Well, anyway, so what?”

“You’re a saint, but you’re good at using magical powers as well as divine powers?”

“Yes, that’s the magician.”

“Oh… I had no idea.”

“Of course. No one would know except Duncan and a few others.”

Theo was still wondering.

Since when has this girl in front of me been holding the fraudulent title of a magical genius?

“Since when have you been a magic genius?”

“Since birth.”

Estelle tapped his shoulder as if asking him something strange.

“Oh, by the way, what’s with that posture? It’s completely broken? Don’t you want to learn, student? Should I go back?”

“Oh, no. Ahem.”

It was a questionable setting, but the teacher in front of me was too strict to care about such things.

Theo began to breathe heavily again as Estelle took a stance as if she was really going to turn around.

‘That’s amazing, I never thought I’d be able to use magic.’

I could feel the refreshing water welling up inside my body.

‘But is this enough to say that the magic tank is big? Isn’t it average?’

The magic power was rising faster than expected, so Theo thought it was just average.

‘Is he crazy? How can he gain magical power so quickly? He seems more talented than me.’

Estelle was vomiting her flagship.
