Chapter 78 Someone Unconsciously Creating A Large Number Of Magic Killing Weapons
I, Leaf, was working at my buddy's shop, Comet Workshop.
"Leaf-kun, what are you doing?"
Mercury-san, just out of the bath, with only a bathrobe on.
It's hard to know where to look.
She looks even more beautiful than usual after a bath.
"What is it?"
"Oh, I was making a repellent."
"A repellent? What's that? I've never heard of it."
"It's a medicine to repel cats. It's a liquid that emits a unique smell to keep only rowdy cats away."
"Hmm," Mercury-san says as she gazes at the repellent in the flask.
"[Appraisal]... WAIT, WHAAAAAAT!?"
"What's wrong?"
I quickly pull out a headache medicine (Elixir).
"Why do you have Elixir ready before me?"
"Don't you need it?"
"I'll take it! "
I definitely need this!
Mercury-san says as she looks at the repellent I made.
"This... has some super advanced holy magic imbued in it."
"Huh? I didn't imbue it with that. Well, I did mix it to bring out its holy power."
Mercury-san shakes her head.
"Why does a simple cat repellent need holy power to ward off monster?"
"Because it works best on my cats."
While holding her head, Mercury-san drinks the headache medicine (Elixir) I made.
"By the way, what kind of cat is it?"
"It's a Tōtetsu (Taotie)."
"T-Tōtetsu...!? It's that TŌTETSUUUUUUUUU!?"
What's wrong with her, she suddenly...
"Stop giving out headache medicine (Elixir) in advance!"
"Don't you need it?"
"I do! Darn it!"
Mercury-san chugs the headache medicine.
"You... Do you know what Toutetsu is?"
"A stray cat, right?"
"NOOOOO! It's a dangerous monster that perished long ago!"
Huh?
A monster?
"Listen up. In ancient times, there was a terrifying demon. And there was a hero who defeated that demon. It's said that the hero was torn apart... and his corpse turned into four monsters."
"Four?"
"Yes. Toutetsu (Tiaotie), Konton (Hundun), Kyuuki (Qiongqi), and Toukotsu (Taown)."
Oh...
"So, it's about the stray cats that keep showing up at my place, right?"
"THOSE FOUR DEMONIC BEASTS ARE KNOWN AS THE FOUR FIENNNNNDS!"
Mercury-san keeps shouting.
Today is going great! Making headache medicine (Elixir) is so rewarding!
"The Four Fiends are appearing?! Where?!"
"In Dead End Village."
"OH NOOOOOOO!"
Mercury-san trembled, making a rattling sound. Huh, did I say something weird?
"Things like Toutetsu and Kyuuki, they give birth under the eaves in spring and autumn, causing trouble. So, we sprinkle repellent to drive them away."
"The Four Fiends are being treated like stray cats!?"
"Or rather, it's about stray cats, right?"
That's why Master made the repellent.
They multiply and it's troublesome if they linger.
"Extinct ferocious monsters are casually wandering around there..."
"It's not monsters though."
They're just cats.
Mercury-san sighed.
"By the way... why spread repellent in the capital city?"
"Well, remember that strange beast that was wandering around the other day?"
"Oh... you mean the demons and their minions that Leaf-kun one-shotted."
Demons...? Minions?
I don't really understand.
"Those weird beasts wandering around are troublesome, so I'm scattering repellent. Oh, don't worry, it's harmless to humans and doesn't affect demi-humans either!"
Mercury-san sighed heavily.
"Mercury-san, you shouldn't sigh too much. Granny Merlin said happiness runs away because of it."
"WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK IT IS, YOUUUUUUU!"
I don't know why, but Mercury-san got angry at me! Reflecting on it!
