Mage Corps
When I visited their mansion, Sylph, Dryas, Selene, and Nyx were there.
Nyx was a bit of a recluse, so she was almost always there though.
I went into the mansion by myself and headed straight for the living room, where Dryas talked about the purpose of my visit before I could even speak.
「This is about the mage corps, right~ Sounds good, don’t you think~」
「So you’ve already heard.」
「Naturally. I’m still a top Spirit, you know~」
「Then we need to decide on a name.」
「Selene, shouldn’t we decide who the leader would be before that?」
「Eh, so it’s already decided that we’ll be establishing a mage corps?」
I was surprised that Selene was already deciding on a name for the mage corps, and Sylph was talking about which Spirit name would be on it.
「We’ve already reached out to all capable and honest children in the content, so they should be arriving within the month.」
「Eh!? When did that happen!? 」
「While Lumia and Rosary were discussing it.」
「Sigh, then it’s settled.」
「Exactly. But the Mage Corps is a gathering regardless of country or race.」
「It had to be done or we wouldn’t gather enough people..」
According to Selene, noble children who aspired to become mages had oddly inflated egos, which made it difficult to find suitable candidates for the mage corps of the Sanctuary.
「Truly, we searched the entire continent.」
「You mean your familial spirits did, right?」
「Of course!」
I more or less shut down Selene talking as if she herself had searched for them.
I realized one of the reasons why Sylph and Selene were scouting all over the continent regardless of race and status.
「Sylph, the reason you aren’t limiting it to the Elves is because of an attribute issue?」
「Fufu, there’s no one who was given the aptitude to all elements by Goddess Norn like you, Takumi. If it had been restricted to just the Elves, the attribute’s would be too uneven.」
「We want fire and earth attributes as well.」
Sylph and Selene seem to have included human in their scouting for fire and earth attributes.
「Oh yes, yes, we scouted a Foxkin child like a Laeva.」
「Hee, Foxkin tribe isn’t that different」
「Among Beastkin, who were generally poor at magic, it’s a race that maintains high aptitude for it. Their patriarch must be rejoicing.」
「Just make sure it doesn’t cause them any trouble.」
「Obviously. Anyone would be thrilled if they were to be approached by us.」
「Makes sense, I guess. You’re the Great Spirits, after all.」
People who meet the requirements to live in the Sanctuary would surely be glad to join if they were scouted by a Great Spirit.
It was then that Sylph dropped a bombshell.
「We took the money from your wallet.」
「Eh? My wallet?」
「Why are you reacting like that, we gave it to the aspiring knights as well.」
「I didn’t hear about that!」
「I got it from Maria.」
「Guh! T-then it can’t be helped?」
「Takumi, you don’t have a use for the money anyway, don’t you?」
「Well, it’s true that it just keeps piling up.」
「Are you trying to gather all the money in the continent under your name? If you don’t use money, the economy will fall apart, wouldn’t it?」
「Who told you about the economy? ……well I suppose I do have to spend some money.」
「Right?! Right!?」
Her chest swelled with pride as she made a “I did a great thing” face, which I found a bit annoying, but I let it go and just considered it a necessary expense.
「So the Mage Corps headquarters is a given, but we would need some equipment.」
「Well, I understand the building, but what’s the equipment would the Mage Corps? I had been acquainted with some knights so I had some knowledge regarding their equipment, but I don’t know anyone in a mage corps, I’ve only seen adventurer mages.」
In the beginning, I was participated in the Volton Knights’ training, so I had a chance to mingle with knights, but I didn’t know if Volton even had a mage corps.
In the Royal Capital, I had met the Knight Commander, but not once did I encounter a mage in the Royal Castle.
「You should discuss that with Sophia.」
「Makes sense.」
「Then a Mage Corps HQ please. The location by the other knight headquarters are gathered would suffice.」
「Gotcha.」
「Then we’ll think about the name of the Mage Corps.」
「……I’ll pass.」
「What about Selene?」
「Umm, I 」
Sylph and the others had begun brainstorming for names, so I immediately left to make their HQ.
I have to hurry and make it or Doganbo-san and Golan-san would get mad.
