The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 1063: Still No Cute Monster

My air magic keeps improving. And again, I come to the Monsters World with Maya. This time, I’m with none other than Carmen. Fabio’s mother and also Maya’s future mother-in-law.

"Is it okay for you to be here?" I asked.

"It’s fine. Fabio and Toni can take care of everything. And before I came here, you brought Luna to play with Alan and Lana. Also, I want to see how much Maya has improved," she said.

"Even if you say that, there’s not much to see. She’s a summoner. You can only see her familiar fighting there. As for her air magic, she’s slightly improving," I said.

"I also want to have a private chat with her. Just the two of us if you don’t mind. We’ll do it during a break," Carmen said.

"But I promised her that I will tell her the most important thing about me during the break," I said.

"If it’s anything about you, talking about it during a break is not enough. You will need a whole day to let her sort her thoughts. It’s happened to everyone," Carmen said.

I guess that’s true then. So I told Maya that tomorrow will be a story-telling day. Maybe I’ll bring her to the Spirit Mountain and get the Spirit King to show her my memory.

"So, how’s your training? I heard that you broke through in the Spirit Mountain before," Carmen asked Maya.

"I did, Your Majesty. I—"

"Just call me Mother. It won’t be long until you marry my son," Carmen said.

"Mother. I can’t fight. And I don’t think I will be able to fight even if I train. So I want to focus more on increasing my magic level. At least I want to stay by Fabio’s side for much longer. He’s a master level mage already and will probably lead the Kingdom for a long time. So I want to be able to live long like him and support him in every way possible. But I don’t want to not be able to do anything when the situation arises. So at least I need a bit of training. I can’t shoot well yet. Still miss a lot of target when it’s over fifteen meters. But Georgia is very strong. I can rely on her in a fight," Maya said.

Of course Carmen already knew about Georgia’s condition. She was genuinely happy when she heard from Fabio that there might be a way to heal Georgia. We just need to wait until Maya’s summoning level improved at least two more times.

And to do that, we just need to let her fight. Graham will be by her side, so there shouldn’t be any danger they will encounter.

"But for my second familiar, I want it to be a cute one. Because I want it to be by my side most of the time. It will be good if it can fight well. But that’s secondary," Maya said.

"And you haven’t found any cute monster yet? Do you have any preferences?" Carmen asked.

"Like a small dog or a cat. They are cute," Maya said.

"You mean me? Thank you for saying that I’m cute."

As usual, there’s someone who will come all of a sudden and just interrupted someone’s talk. It’s Pawzer.

Maya looked at him suspiciously. How can someone think that he’s cute? That must be what she’s thinking.

But it’s possible. Because I think that I’m cute.

"Oh, you don’t believe me? How about this then?"

Pawzer then turned from his were-cheetah form to his cheetah form. The form that he used when we first met. He rarely uses that form nowadays.

"A big cat!" Maya shouted.

"That’s me."

"But I want a smaller one. One that can be hugged and I can carry anywhere," Maya said.

"The discrimination! I’m leaving. I’m going to kill small monsters I see!"

...It’s not like he has interest in becoming anyone’s familiar anyway.

And there he goes. He comes and goes unannounced.

My new power, the one where I can see even Pawzer who is moving in slow motion, is still hasn’t shown any improvement at all. Let’s just hope that there’s no enemy faster than him.

Though it’s not just fast. If the enemy is not fast but has great technique, it’s still bad for me.

Pawzer is just fast. He had no technique when fighting. But if there’s anyone who has great technique even when they’re not fast, I have to go all out. Probably like the guy who tamed the Kaiser Tortoise before. It’s only thanks to the Kaiser Tortoise’s rebellion that we managed to kill him.

After that, we continued our search. We didn’t find any and took a break for a moment so Maya and Carmen can have a long conversation.

And when we continued our search, they are still talking.

"Oh, I see a rabbit monster," I said.

"Rabbit? I want to see that!"

"Alright. Let’s turn left from here," I said.

And then we moved toward where I found where the herd of rabbits was. And I can see Maya’s disappointment.

Because they actually look scary. With fangs as they were eating a lion they hunted.

"...They’re not cute at all. Georgia, kill them," Maya said.

"Maya, what do you expect? Monsters who will eat the same cooked food as you? You won’t find any other than those who live in the Monsters Village. You can only make a contract with wild monsters here. If you don’t want them to hunt their own food and eat them raw, you have to make a contract with them first and order them to not do that. Because even the plants here eat meat. Herbivorous monsters are rare because they were hunted easily and not strong. Even if there are some, only those who are innately strong will survive here," I scolded Maya.

It’s fine if she doesn’t find those rabbits cute. But if cuteness is the only criteria and she doesn’t find them cute just because they eat meat like regular monsters or even regular carnivorous animal, then we will never find anything.

"...Sorry, Master. You are right. Though they are still not cute even if they don’t eat meat," Maya apologized.

"Good. We will continue our search then," I said.

"How about looking in a snowy mountain? Usually, monsters or animals that live there have white fur. And there shouldn’t be any insect there," Victoria suggested.

"If we go to a snowy mountain, she can’t ride a horse there. The journey will be slower and the cold will be hellish for her who is just an intermediate mage. We need more preparation for an expedition in a snowy area. And wouldn’t it be difficult for the monster to be with Maya all the time? Because there will not always be cold where she is," I said.

"You’re right. But Maya seems interested in it," Victoria said.

I looked at Maya who is staring at me intensely. Pleading for me to bring her to a snowy mountain.

"Fine, we’ll go there in two days since tomorrow is a story-telling day. I’ll Wendy and Shirley to come as well. Wendy is a fire mage and Shirley is an ice mage. We will have easier time with them around," I said.

"Okay!" Maya shouted happily.

I looked at Carmen and asked her if it is okay to have someone with a childish side in her to be the future Queen.

"I also want a cute pet with beautiful white fur. There’s nothing childish about it. And I think that’s why Fabio is attracted to her," Carmen said.

...Did I just hear that correctly? She actually thinks that Fabio is attracted to Maya because Maya has something similar to her? Does it make Fabio... you know?

I don’t think so. It’s just a mother’s pride that tells her that. I think Fabio himself would disagree to that.

We didn’t find any monster that Maya is interested again. So we returned.

And the next day, I brought Maya to the Spirit Mountain and had the Spirit King showed her my memory. About the fact that I returned from the future where the world will be destroyed by the cult if we leave them be.

Well... Carmen was wrong. It took Maya two whole day to be able to recover from that. Just the first day and she was unable to sleep the whole night. Calling Fabio and ask for confirmation several times whether what I said was true or not. I knew that because Fabio called me and told me about it.

So I called Maya and told her to use calming gas and sleeping gas on herself and she doesn’t need to train until she feels better. And she ended up sleeping for twenty hours.

Her parents were worried. But I told them that it’s fine and to just let her rest.

I didn’t tell them about my past. I also told Maya to never tell anyone even those she can trust. Though I allow her to ask Fabio since Fabio is someone who knows about it.

Finally, today is the day for the snowy mountain expedition. Let’s pick up our escorts first.
