Casting Magic on the Mansion
Kathe was very fast. We arrived in no time.
Dozens of beastkin welcomed us as she slowly descended.
Danton must have sent word in advance.
The beastkin tribes had been given communication bracelets in order to contact each other.
The chief I had just seen last night now came over to me.
“Mister Locke. And the rest of you. Thank you for visiting us.”
“The magic tool is ready and so I came to install it.”
“What! So soon!”
And then I turned to Kathe.
“Kathe. Stay here and remain in dragon form.”
“Very well.”
“Can you take me to the center of the mansion?”
“It’s right this way.”
I left Kathe and followed him into the mansion.
Before actually installing it, Luchila and I would search the place with magic.
“I didn’t find any suspicious devices. Did you, Mister Locke?’
“I didn’t find any either.”
“Then it should be safe!”
And so I installed the magic tool. It required the help of several people, but that’s what Shia and the others were here for.
And through helping me, they learned more about it as well.
And it was not a bad thing to know about this, even if they were warriors or Adventurers.
“Mister Locke, is this all right?”
“Yeah. Yours is fine, Shia. Thank you.”
“So, you do it like this?”
“Hmm. Yes, that’s fine, Serulis.”
“I finished it, Mister Locke.”
“You did it very well, Nia.”
It was no wonder, since Nia often joined Luchila in helping Philly with her work.
Once everything was finished, I activated the magic tool.
“Now, if any dark ones get close to the mansion, the alarm should go off. It will make the same sound that you heard in Danton’s mansion.”
“Thank you so much.”
After that, I explained things like the area of effect, which dark ones it could stop, and other such details to the chief.
And then we returned to Kathe.
“Gahahaha! I will make it even steeper now!”
“Yay! Yay!”
Kathe was playing with the children. She was popular even in this tribe then.
She had lowered her head and was gently raising her tail.
While she did this, the children climbed up her head and moved towards her tail.
“He-hey, children! What are you doing to the great Wind Dragon Ruler...”
The chief cried frantically.
I felt bad for the children who might be scolded later on.
“Kathe seems to be happy about it. It’s really nothing.”
“I am not sure about that.”
“Yes, I do not mind! Gahahaha!”
Kathe said with a laugh. And then she walked towards us as the children clung to her.
“Are you finished then?”
“We’re done installing it. Now we have to reinforce the walls.”
“I can help with that. You should leave the ceilings to me.”
“Yes. Luchila and I will do the floors. Whoever finishes first can start on the outer walls.”
“Very well!”
And so we got to work. I started reinforcing the floors with Luchila.
Then we went outside when we were done.
“Children, watch this!”
“Okay!”
“Look! See this!”
“Wow! It shone!”
Kathe had children on her back as she went about casting magic on the roof.
The children were ecstatic.
While it was all done properly, it was going slow, because she was explaining what she was doing.
“...Luchila. We should do the walls then.”
“Yes. I agree with that.”
And so we started to cast magic on the walls.
Kathe continued to be popular. We could hear the shouts and cheers of the children.
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf was also excited as he ran around Kathe as she flew in the sky.
Perhaps the excitement of the others was infectious.
“Do you want to ride me too, Grulf?”
“Groof!”
And so Kathe picked Grulf up and put him on her back.
It was hard to believe that he had ever been scared of her.
We watched them as they had fun and continued our work.
“I have finished casting magic on the roof! Locke! I want you to check it!”
“We’re just about finished here too. But I don’t think I need to inspect your magic, Kathe...”
Kathe grabbed our hands and pulled us onto the roof.
“Luchila, what do you think?”
I asked Luchila. It was a part of her magic education as my apprentice.
Luchila looked at Kathe’s work with a serious expression.
“I think it’s been done very well. What do you think, Mister Locke?”
“Yes. It’s wonderful work.”
“Is that right? I am relieved.”
Kathe said with a sigh. And then the children on her back all cheered.
“I knew that the great Kathe could do it!”
“Yes! She’s amazing!”
“Groof-groof!”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Kathe looked happy. Her tail was also wagging slowly.
