Salamander: (what a great motivation hahaha.)
Varakiel: anyways we also have spare skill points, let's go to learn some useful skill!
Granberia: where?
Varakiel: let's go to wiz.
Megumin: the lich?
Darkness: a-are you sure?
Varakiel: it will be fine~.
...
Wiz: a-ah! Welcome please come inside….
Varakiel: excuse me then..
Granberia: mhm…
Megumin: woah so she has a magic shop…
Darkness: there a lot of things here.
…..
Varakiel: hmmm…
Wiz: er, please be careful that thing can explode if you move it too much…
Varakiel: oh? How much is it?
Wiz: 5-50k eris.
Varakiel: alright ill take 4
Varakiel then hands her 200k eris.
Wiz: t-thank you for your patronage!
Varakiel: mhm,
Varakiel then saves the explosive bottles in his inventory.
Wiz: woah mr varakiel has space magic?
Varakiel: mhm, is a secret family technique.
Wiz: incredible your family must be very powerful.
Varakiel: if you knew, haha.
Varakiel looks at granberia, she only laughs back.
Wiz: do you need anything else?
Varakiel: well i wondered if you could teach us some lich skills, mainly drain touch.
Wiz: o-of course…but will you be able to learn it since you could purify the zombies back then you must be a priest…
Varakiel: none of that, i am an adventurer.
Wiz: ehh…no wonder, alright l-leave it to me!
…
Wiz: come to think of it, i heard recently that your party took down mr. Beldia. He was supposed to be quite the swordsman, even among the generals. That's really impressive!
Varakiel: well when you are prepared and collect information of anyone you can beat them with the perfect plan, and besides beldia was quite arrogant to come here alone.
Wiz: y-yeah he wasn't exactly very smart and he was quite easy to disturb.
Megumin:¿? You make it sound like you knew him.
Wiz: oh, didn't i tell you? I'm one of the demon king's generals.
Megumin: i see...ehhhhh!!!???
Darknes: ehhhh!??
Varakiel: mhm, she is wiz the lich general of the demon king.
Megumin: d-did you knew already?
Varakiel: yeah, she was an adventurer that turned in a lich in exchange of her companions lives in the past.
Granberia: i see…such a loyal companion.
Wiz blush deeply she didn't expect for people to know her history.
Darkness: that kind of history, lady wiz must have been very strong.
Megumin: yeah anyone would want to have a person like wiz on their party!
Wiz: h-hehe, im just responsible for the spirit barrier that protects the demon king's castle! I've never harmed a person, and i hardly even count as a general, there's not even a reward for Killing me.
Megumin: i see so wiz hasn't any influence.
Darkness: but does that mean we'll have to kill ms wiz in the future to defeat the demon king?
Varakiel: Actually no, we don't.
Wiz: eh, ehhh!? W-what do you mean?
Varakiel: i can easily destroy a barrier of that quality, but it will cost a lot of money, but is doable
Granberia: mhm even us have secret weapons hehe.
Megumin: woah! Is it a legendary weapon!? Is a mythical object!?
Varakiel: is a technique~.
Darkness: o-only a technique?
Granberia: is not only a technique is the technique that both of us perfectioned in our world to its maximum potential.
Varakiel: mhm, but we need to become has strong as we were before, right now if we perform it, it would kills us before we can even get to the middle step.
Wiz: in our world? Did you two came from another world?
Varakiel: yes, but that doesn't matter, i am living in this beautiful world now,
Wiz: i-i see then let me teach you drain touch then!
…..
Varakiel: thank you wiz, you are a huge help.
Darkness: i wonder, you're not mad that we killed beldia?
Wiz: ….i didn't especially care of mr. Beldia…he liked to roll his head toward me while i was walking so he could peek up my skirt. There's really only one general I'm very close to, and he….well, he won't die easily…and i like to think my heart, at least, is still human.
Megumin: oh right i remember varakiel called beldia with a nickname like that….
Wiz: ehhh? How did you knew?
Varakiel: easy, i asked the succubus.
Granberia: pervert...
Darkness:...
Megumin: t-the what?...you didn't do anything with them…right?
Wiz: eh, no wonder you knew then, the rumors spread very fast among the demons…
Varakiel: of course not, you dummy i am married to granberia i dont need the services of a succubus.
Granberia: you said that because you're married to alma, idiot.
Megumin: a-alma?
Varakiel: a queen succubus.
Darkness:...you surely have a lot of history on you….
Granberia: more than you could think of.
Suddenly the bell over the door jingled as a middle-aged man came in.
….
Varakiel:...
Granberia:.....
Megumin & darkness : evil spirits?
Man: i have them cast out, exorcized, but new ones just pop up to take their place. I can't even keep the house ghost-free, let alone sell it!
Varakiel: since when started this issue?
Man: ¿? Who? Ah is perhaps you mr varakiel the one who defeated the demon king general?
Varakiel: mhm.
Man: ah, maybe you might know what to do… well it started…..
….
It was after they meet wiz in the cemetery and just a day later and people say that an arch-priest was dealing with that…..
Varakiel: i might know the issue….megumin, darkness drag that stupid aqua in here.
Granberia: seriously she only causes trouble like another goddess (ilias) i know.
Megumin & darkness: ¿? understood.
Wiz: isn't she the new arc-priest? What is wrong with her?
Varakiel: she is a lazy and untrustworthy fellow, i know she is at fault for this…
Man: t-that kind of thing….
….
Varakiel: spit it out…
Varakiel told everything that has happening to aqua….
Aqua: you see… they told me to stop by the graveyard once in a while to help the spirits there reach the next life? But i totally didn't want to have to go all the way out there every time, right? So i thought, maybe if i got rid of their habitat, eventually they'd just….go away.
Darkness , megumin, the man and wiz we're in shock.
Granberia sighs in disappointment.
Varakiel: you are going to go to that graveyard and deal with the spirits problems, okay?
Aqua:...yeah.
...
The real state agent even allowed aqua to live in the mansion aslong she took care of the spirits…
Varakiel: well at least you got yourself a place to live in…
Aqua: yeah…thanks.
Aqua perfectly knew that it was thanks to him that she got a place to live in….
Varakiel: so have you thought about my offer?
Aqua: ....b-but the third condition….
Varakiel: still no good uh?...alright then, see you. (She's expecting me to beg her to join us, i am not giving her that.)
Salamander: ( she is so stubborn, thats a goddess right there.)
