Chapter 468
Today's demon girl wore a white stand-collared shirt, with satin straps on the outside as decoration.
The black slender tie was loosely knotted around her slender neck, giving the girl a touch of playfulness.
Around her waist was a black high-waisted short skirt, forming a continuous upper-lower echo with the satin straps.
Although it was still an academy-style outfit, it was clearly dressed up; Roxy stood at the front door, somewhat embarrassedly inviting the boy inside to go shopping.
Broly knew what Roxy had come to do, but the absence of a beastman girl by her side made him feel somewhat strange.
"Is it just the two of us going shopping?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, just the two of us."
Roxy twirled the hair near her ear with her finger, giving an affirmative answer.
"What about Rene? Isn't she coming with us?"
"Ah, Rene needs to rest; she's been exhausted these days in the labyrinth."
Roxy said with a slight blush on her face.
"What am I going for, to be a third wheel ruining your date? Or you go by yourself, little Roxy, just remember to buy me dried small fish when you come back, meow~"
These were the original words spoken by the white catgirl in the dormitory to the demon girl; she was very perceptive and did not intend to be a third wheel for this date.
Although to Roxy this was just wanting to give the boy a surprise, not a date at all, the white catgirl in the same dormitory didn't care about that.
"Is that so? Then let's go."
Broly nodded and readily agreed to the demon girl's shopping invitation.
Although Roxy had been nervous at first because of Rene's words before going out, after walking with the boy on the street, eating food together, and discovering that it wasn't much different from her usual days with the boy, she gradually relaxed.
"Broly, you don't know, this time we were really lucky going into the labyrinth; the labyrinth master and a water elemental from who knows where fought to mutual exhaustion, and Rene and I just happened to pick up a great bargain. First I used freeze magic to seal the labyrinth master's movements, then Rene went up and dealt the finishing blow in time, very easily obtaining the magic stone inside the labyrinth master's body..."
Sitting on a bench by the street, the demon girl ate the jam grilled cake unique to this side of Ranoa while sharing her lucky adventure story of this labyrinth trip with the boy.
"Roxy, you and Rene are really amazing!"
Broly listened while eating beside her, occasionally showing an amazed expression on his small face, praising the demon girl and the absent beast race girl with complimentary words.
"By the way, do you want to go look over there?"
After finishing the jam grilled cake and finishing the labyrinth adventure story, Roxy pointed to a street and asked; over there happened to be a high-end clothing store.
"By the way, Broly, did you buy your winter clothes? If not, why don't we go into the clothing store together to take a look?"
Roxy's words carried a bit of stiffness; she was not a girl very good at hiding her emotions.
If she said no here, she estimated she would feel somewhat awkward.
Broly had no intention of making the girl feel awkward; he nodded and agreed.
Roxy was very happy that things went smoothly, pulling the boy into the clothing store.
"Try on these clothes."
As soon as the demon girl entered the clothing store, she skillfully began selecting; it was clear she had done her homework.
"Customer, you really have an eye; this is clothing made from fire salamander skin, the lining is black swan velvet, delicate and soft; wearing such clothing in winter, even if in the wild, there won't be a bit of cold feeling."
"How do you feel wearing it, Broly?"
Roxy asked the boy with some expectation; although there were other alternative clothes beside her, from the girl's expectant eyes it wasn't hard to see she thought this fire velvet clothing was very suitable for herself.
"I think this clothing is very good, just like it was tailored for me."
Broly nodded seriously, and Roxy's happiness value increased a bit because of his words.
"It's still a bit too big."
Roxy honestly evaluated.
"No problem, customer; our store will later provide corresponding custom tailoring."
The shopkeeper with two small mustaches hurriedly said.
"Then we'll take this fire velvet clothing; how much is it?"
"Since fire salamanders are A-rank magic beasts from the Magic Continent side, their materials transported to this side of Ranoa will be somewhat more expensive, plus the tailoring artisan we hired is famous..."
"Just tell me the price directly."
"Customer, you are first-time visitors, so I'll give you the best price; sincerely 7 Ranoa Gold Coins."
Although Roxy had long expected the clothing prices here to be high, after the shopkeeper quoted the specific price, she still felt somewhat pained.
However, the demon girl still stopped the boy who was taking out his money bag to pay: "This is a gift I want to give you; over nearly a year, thank you for taking care of me, Broly."
"Will buying such an expensive gift for me affect your quality of life afterward?"
"To say there's no effect is impossible; so, Broly, please continue to employ me as your guard from now on."
Roxy, having finished buying clothes and come outside, said this in a joking tone.
"Of course."
Broly nodded.
This was the easiest way to spend more time with the demon girl beside him.
"Roxy."
Broly called out to her.
"What is it?"
The blue-haired demon girl turned around, looking at him with some confusion.
"I also prepared a gift for you."
"Huh?"
"But it will take some time to get; well, I've already accepted your gift, and I hope you won't refuse my gift when the time comes."
"What is it?"
Roxy asked curiously.
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Do you have to keep it a secret?"
"Didn't you also not tell me about the thing where you wanted to give me something?"
The two, one big and one small, bickered on the road as they went back.
One week later, outside the suburbs of Sharia, Roxy held her brand-new magic wand and began chanting the incantation for Water Saint-Class Magic toward the sky.
"Majestic water spirits, son of the Thunder Emperor who ascends the sky, fulfill my wish, bring forth violent grace, let the insignificant existence witness your power, strike the anvil with the god's iron hammer to reveal your dread, let the flood submerge the entire land……"
Outside the suburbs of Sharia, under the chanting of the magic girl, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, strong winds began to blow, raindrops poured down, and lightning flashed within the dark clouds.
"Thunderstorm Cloud!"
With a booming thunderclap, a wild storm began to unfold in this area, Ginas used Earth Wall Magic to build a temporary shelter, his gaze fixed on the blue-haired Disciple in the wind and rain, his expression somewhat ambiguous, containing both pride in his own Disciple's excellence and some jealousy toward his own Disciple's talent.
"I succeeded, I succeeded, Broly, Teacher Ginas."
The magic ended, the sky cleared, and the rain stopped.
Under the dappled sunlight, the magic girl with water dripping from the brim of her magic hat revealed a smile brighter than the sunlight.
Ranoa Magic University's youngest Water Saint-Class Magician, Roxy Migurdia, could now be called that.
"Congratulations, Roxy."
Suppressing his jealousy, Ginas sincerely congratulated his excellent Disciple.
"I have to thank Teacher for your cultivation."
Roxy wasn't lying when she said this; the Thunderstorm Cloud she learned was precisely the magic Ginas created when he became a Water Saint-Class Magician.
The notes and materials recorded by the one who created this magic were all taught without reservation to the magic girl who joined the Research Group.
And along this path, Roxy might be able to touch upon higher-level Water King-tier Magic in the future.
Calling it cultivation is not a problem at all.
"Let's wait to be happy until later; now it's the middle of winter, and you're soaked, so hurry back and change your clothes, lest you get sick."
Ginas's words made Roxy belatedly realize.
"Achoo~"
After reacting, the girl let out a small sneeze.
"So uncomfortable~"
As expected, the magic girl caught a cold the next day.
"It's not uncommon for magic to backlash and involve oneself; Roxy really hasn't reached the level to graduate yet."
In the office, Ginas, upon learning his Disciple was sick, felt somewhat helpless; he looked at the boy beside him: "Broly, can you please take good care of Roxy during this time?"
"Of course, but it seems I can't enter the girls' dormitory……"
"Don't you have a house in Sharia? You can take Roxy to your place to live."
Although Roxy had a roommate, the reliability of her Beastman roommate really made Ginas uneasy.
Compared to that, the wealthy boy who protected his Disciple in every way was somewhat more trustworthy.
Of course, if the other party refused or it was inconvenient, he would have to ask Evias instead.
A Water Saint-Class Disciple, an excellent student, got sick; if he, as the teacher, didn't care, how could he later boast about Roxy's situation, saying: Look, this is the excellent Disciple I taught, one I can be proud of!
"No problem, Teacher Ginas, I guarantee I'll complete this mission!"
Broly happily accepted the mission to take care of Roxy.
"Eh, stay at Broly's house?"
Hearing the Catgirl's message, Roxy hesitated a bit.
"If you're unwilling, I'll just refuse him directly for you."
The white Catgirl said.
"I didn't say I'm unwilling~"
The girl's cheeks were a bit red, but it was unknown whether it was from illness or blushing.
"And this is a mission entrusted by Teacher Ginas; if he doesn't complete it, he'd surely be troubled too, right."
Roxy said this, and received a white-eye from the Catgirl Rene; she clearly wanted to go but was looking for a suitable excuse.
"Eh, Rene, what are you doing?"
"Of course it's to send you, sick as you are, safely to Broly's home."
Rene was indeed somewhat rough; after wrapping Roxy up in a blanket like a cocoon, she hoisted her up and jumped straight down from the balcony.
After meeting up with Broly below, she took Roxy to the West City District, to the Saiyan boy's home.
"Broly, you must take good care of Roxy; if you don't take care of her well, even if you're my number two Little Brother, I'll beat you up."
The Catgirl said bravely, and Broly slapped his chest to guarantee: "I will definitely take good care of Roxy."
"Mm, then I'll leave it to you."
Just like that, Rene left.
In the room, only the magic girl wrapped like a zongzi remained, and the Saiyan boy standing beside her.
"Roxy, do you want to eat or drink something now?"
Broly had never taken care of a patient, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Before eating or drinking anything, I hope you can first untie my bindings."
Roxy was wrapped tightly in the blanket, and after failing to struggle free, she said this to Broly with a red face.
"Oh."
Broly hurriedly stepped forward and helped Roxy untie the blanket wrapped around her.
And after breaking free from the blanket's bind, the demon girl wearing only white pajamas appeared before Broly.
Meeting the boy's gaze, Roxy somewhat embarrassedly wrapped the blanket around herself again, her face red as she said, "If possible, I'd like to eat something light."
"No problem."
Broly ran out to buy ingredients.
In the room, only Roxy remained alone.
Suddenly, Roxy felt a bit thirsty and walked out, wanting to pour some water to drink.
After finishing the water, although her head was still somewhat dizzy, she still curiously began to walk around the boy's home.
Although she often came over, her activity area was limited to the hall and kitchen; as for other rooms, Roxy had never been to them, and now she was a bit curious.
"Didn't discover it before, but now I've discovered it — Broly really is a kid who loves cleanliness."
After walking a full circle, Roxy indicated her recognition of the fact that the boy lived alone, yet without hiring a maid, could still keep the home's hygiene clean.
And the demon girl did not discover that some water elementals similar to slimes were hiding in dark corners secretly watching her.
These water elementals were little things Broly created; they would wriggle across the home's floor when no one was home, helping clean the environment.
The Six-Faced World's magic is truly interesting, able to do things that Qi generally cannot do.
Originally at first he just wanted to use water flow to rinse the home, but because he had read a Summon Familiar book in the Magic University, Broly also attempted it.
Then, these little fellows dependent on Broly's magic power for activity were coincidentally summoned out, bringing great convenience to the Saiyan's solitary life.
And if magic power injection is increased, these little fellows can also become big fellows, then possess not bad battle capability.
For example, coincidentally encountering some Labyrinth Lords, and fighting a battle with them or something.
