Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

"Then let's hire a first-level magician. We don't qualify anyway."

"No! That way we'll have to spend every day without snacks! If not, there's Lord Ash. Doesn't he know a big shot in this country?"

Phiren, who is particularly obsessed with desserts, is unwilling to compromise in this regard. He grabbed Furlian, who was reluctant, and looked at Ash, who was about to jump out of the window to escape. He frowned and said, "Lord Ash... What are you doing? Why are you so resistant to the assessment?"

"I'm not resistant to the assessment, just a little..."

"——Okay! Come here too, let's go to the Magic Association together!"

Phiren didn't listen to his explanation, and quickly stepped forward to grab his hand.

With one hand Ash and one hand Furlian, they dragged the two to the Magic Association.

Yubel, who was sitting on a chair and watching the whole situation, watched the three people leave with a gloating expression, and secretly sighed in his heart: "I always feel that the position has changed again~ These guys... are getting more and more interesting."

...............................

Magic City, core area

The entrance of the Magic Association branch, which occupies a vast area of ​​land, is led by a majestic and wide staircase, leading visitors into the magnificent hall that seems to be a reproduction of an ancient temple.

Behind it, a flawless white tower stands proudly, like a guardian's sword pointing straight to the sky, which not only adds to the overall magnificent landscape, but also implies the infinite pursuit and exploration of magic knowledge.

Even the door leading to the mysterious world seems to be a reproduction of the door of an ancient castle. The carvings on it are intricate and delicate, and every line reveals extraordinary craftsmanship and extraordinary momentum. People can tell at a glance that this place is extraordinary.

The appearance of the entire branch is magnificent and majestic, even compared with the main branch of the Holy City, it is not inferior, and it can be called a unique glory.

"What a surprise.... Is this branch really supported by the kingdom as rumored?"

Looking at the branch that he had never had the chance to visit in the past, Fern couldn't help but believe in his heart that this magic association must have an unusual relationship with the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Ester, and subconsciously looked at Ash again.

But Ash didn't notice that look, just looked at the magnificent building in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "It's a lot of money, so it looks grand... After all, it's not her own money, so of course she doesn't plan to be frugal."

"Why do you say that, it's as if it's your money?" Flyllian turned her head curiously.

"Uh... Let's get things done quickly." Ash realized that he had said too much, silently quickened his pace, stepped onto the steps, and left the two behind.

But before he left the two too far, he almost bumped into a familiar girl at the intersection.

The girl had super long light golden hair and emotionless brown-red eyes. Although her figure was small and exquisite, she exuded a sense of presence that could not be ignored.

The long hair adds a bit of softness and cuteness to her, just like a kitten that just woke up from a dream, with a hint of laziness and cuteness, making people want to get close to tease her.

And just like this, the loli-type girl in a blue and white dress, Zanze, actually did not change at all when she first met Ash, and more than ten years have passed without leaving any trace of time on her.

When they first met, she was already a first-level magician. Should she be considered a first-level magician with considerable experience now?

But her unchanged appearance and figure made Ash doubt the most ageless and unchanging magic in the world.

When she noticed him, this older girl who always gave people the impression of a natural and silent lolita, actually widened her eyes in surprise, and rarely showed a faint smile in front of people:

"Master Ash, long time no see... I'm very happy to see you."

"Me too, Zanze, how are you doing recently?" Ash saw this cute lolita, and smiled knowingly, reaching out to stroke the messy hair.

"Thanks to you, I've been doing well recently."

Zanze squinted slightly, a little uncomfortable, but unexpectedly did not avoid it, and his face was just a little troubled.

This made the magicians passing by all stare at them in amazement.

After all, they had never seen this expressionless, taciturn, and arrogant first-level magician being touched on the head, and even... by a man they had never seen before?

..............................

..............................

Since Ash had been returning to the capital, the Demon King's Castle, and even this branch without telling Furlin and the others, he would run into Zanze from time to time.

Since they had known each other for a long time, Ash only regarded her as a slightly silent and cute junior.

After all, judging from the fact that all first-level magicians were disciples of Celia, Zanze was indeed his junior sister, and a junior sister of a much younger generation.

Zanze himself also agreed with this kind of relationship. After all, he was not only his senior brother, but also saved him when Celia was messing around, and took good care of him.

Therefore, he did not resist his behavior towards his junior, and even humbly asked him about magic when he had the chance.

Now Zanze also let him touch his hair, and took out a book from somewhere, looking up from the bottom up, staring at him:

"...I have never been able to understand the formula you proposed last time. If you have time, can you please teach me? Or...will you leave again soon like last time?"

"No, no, if I say I have time this time, I definitely have time. After all, I plan to stay here longer this time."

"Really? That's... great." Zanze nodded slightly with a calm expression that made it difficult to see his emotions.

The conversation between the two sides ended here...If it were someone else, it would probably be a bit uncomfortable, but Ash was used to her attitude.

At least now he also understood that Zanze was just not good at speaking and didn't know what to say next.

Originally, when the conversation reached this point and Zanze had fallen silent, Ash would have agreed on a time to meet next time to avoid Zanze's embarrassment, and really ended the topic, but.....

He still wanted to use internal channels to cheat and become a first-level magician, so he thought about it for a while and said hesitantly: "..... Zanze."

"What's wrong?"

"That is... that is to say... cough..." He rarely hesitated to speak, which confused Zanze: "Are you feeling unwell? Shall I call the priest over?"

"——No, no!"

Seeing that Zanze's legs were off the ground and were about to fly, Ash quickly reached out and held her head, pressing her back again.

Although most of the people he knew were weird and their thinking was different from that of ordinary people, which made him a little depressed, he didn't intend to care about it now. Instead, he half-knelt down and asked in a low voice with his eyes level with her:

"I need a first-level magician's identity now. Can you give me an identity certificate directly?"

"Is it a first-level magician's identity certificate?"

"Yes."

"Why?" The strange request made Zanze blink his lazy eyes and tilt his head unconsciously: "Do you still need that kind of thing?"

"There are various reasons. Are you in charge this year?"

"Yes, but you also know that the final decision is made by Lady Celia. I will be a little..."

Although Zanze also wanted to agree to him, she was not good at dealing with Celia. After all, their personalities were a little... not so compatible.

Ash's request made her really confused.

..............................

Although in Zanze's opinion, it should be very simple for Ash to obtain formal permission, in fact... Ash also has his own difficulties.

Although he would handle some things when he showed up, he never really took over the position of the branch director.

Because he didn't want to be tied to this, and he was even reluctant to handle things. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Magic Association at all... Not to mention that there was no benefit, it was basically just a way to get into trouble

And the first-level magician was also considered a disciple of Celia, and there was also Celia's personal ultimate reward in it, so Celia, who was familiar with him, understood that if he made the final decision, he would definitely find a lot of people to take away the magic he wanted.

Therefore, he was also restricted. Even if he participated in the assessment, he would occasionally act as an examiner, but the final evaluation was still made by Celia.

At the end of this period of thinking, Ash said simply: "...If it really doesn't work, just give me a document directly."

"This is a bit..."

"After so many years of friendship, you are unwilling to agree to my request?"

"It's not like that...It's just that Lady Celia has come from the Holy City specially this time..." The matter involves Celia, and Zanze really doesn't want to get involved. His expressionless little face is full of resistance.

"Celia? That lazy guy only cares about the first-level magician, it's really troublesome..." This news is not unexpected, but Ash also understands that it is not realistic to get a special anti-counterfeiting seal from Celia under the current situation.

Because under normal circumstances, Celia will definitely not care, and she won't care if you give it to her directly, but...If Ash really wants it, Celia will really not be willing to give it.

If it is a normal person, it will be fine to coax it, but it is difficult to pretend not to care in front of Celia. That intuition is as strong as cheating.

So, he could only look at the girl who wanted to escape again: "Zanze, think of a way."

"Even if you say so... I..."

"It will definitely be more convenient for you to go than for me! And I loved you so much before. Now that you have grown up, do you not want an old man like me anymore?"

Zanze's face was full of distress, and Ash kept shaking her shoulders, making this legal loli dizzy.

But even though she was dizzy, she still let him shake her and refused to let go:

"...There is no such thing, Lord Ash...Everything else can be done, but this matter is really...it should be said that it is beyond the scope of ability, and it is still impossible... .”

"Have you forgotten? What you said to me when I was assessing you?" He brought up the past with an impassioned expression, and even felt like he was beating his chest: "Is it because of your comfortable life that you have fallen so low that you have forgotten it?" Let’s forget about the grand ambitions of the past and leave everything behind!”

Ya Xiu's passionate speech seemed to ignite the atmosphere a little, but Zanze felt like he had eaten a fly for no reason, and reluctantly whispered:

"Of course I remember, when I faced you who attacked me with bad intentions, what I said was - making the impossible possible is a first-level magician... So I will definitely make the impossible become possible. possible."

"Yes, don't you still remember this?! Then...!"

"But now I understand that even a first-level magician has a limit." On this matter, Zanze seemed very sure.

"Why? Give up without trying?"

"Because...it is simply not something a human can do to get something from Lady Seriel without her consent...Although I am a first-level magician, I am still a human... ..”

"Don't say depressing words, Zanze! Show me your courage as a human being again! You have to believe in me, you who I believe in!"

Ash tried to reason with her and cheer up the self-denying girl.

But after pouring down a large bowl of chicken soup, Zan Ze still couldn't hide his expression of resistance, and before he could get another shot of chicken blood... a strange female voice came from behind him.

"——Master Ash! What are you doing?!"

............................

............................

Fearon, who was still climbing the stairs with Fulian at the back, arrived at the platform and saw Ash shaking his cute lolita hand, as if he was forcing something.

This made her quickly quicken her pace, shouting and rushing over.

Before Ash could turn around, Fearon, who had witnessed the scene, had already come to his side, grabbed his hand that was shaking Zanze, and glared at him angrily:

"I'm just wondering why you suddenly ran so fast? I didn't expect... you would actually bully a child here!"

"No...this is somewhat different from bullying a child." Yaxiu waved his hands to defend, while Zanze breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but tilted his head in confusion and whispered: ".... Child? Are you talking about me?"

"Then what are you doing??" Fearon stared at him, as if he was being interrogated on the spot.

"I'm asking Zanze for help..." He just told the truth, but Zanze didn't forget it and emphasized his position: "...No matter what you say, it's something I can't do. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”

"Don't say that, giving up before trying. This is not your style. I just hope you can...!" Ya Xiu tried to optimize his position, but he didn't even finish what Fu followed. Lillian couldn't help but add insult to injury and interrupted: "——Forcing others to do things they can't do, isn't that bullying? Speaking of which...you actually have acquaintances in Magic City."

"Let's not talk about bullying or bullying. If you are an acquaintance, you have it."

"Me? This child? No...I don't know him at all."

After hearing this, Fulilian stared at Zanze for a long time. She felt that this child was very strong, but - she had no impression at all.

Seeing this, Ash understood. She had never heard that Celia was here.

However, it felt like it would be troublesome to talk about it, so he decisively gave up trying to solve Fulilian's doubts and prepared to wait for her to find out on her own.

But Zanze refused to agree, and after many persuasion, he completely gave up taking shortcuts, and just sighed and silently walked towards the counter.

But before he had even taken two steps, Philan reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, expressionlessly saying: "Wait a minute, Lord Ash, you haven't apologized to this kid yet."

"Yes...I'm sorry, Zanze. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time later." He looked back helplessly, but Zanze shook his head slightly: "Don't worry...it's better to say that I couldn't help, I'm very Feel sorry....."

"What a good boy. He's not like someone else." Fulilian meant something in her words.

But Ash just pretended not to hear and silently walked to the counter, but... as expected, there was a young teller he didn't recognize.

The tellers who didn't know him at all were naturally businesslike and directly expressed regret to them for not being qualified.

"...Is there really no way? Can't you be accommodating? For example, let these two people show their abilities??" Lack of confidence in himself made Feilun excitedly point to the two of them, trying to convince people: "Theirs Their abilities are absolutely amazing! They are definitely no worse than a first-level magician!"

But the teller was just like Zanze before, with a look of helplessness on his face: "There's really nothing I can do, and it's not something I can do..."

"Let them participate." Before the female teller finished speaking, Zanze, who had not left, walked over.

"Zan, Lord Zanze?"

"Isn't it okay to say what I said?"
