Episode 120 Alisa's Grandfather
The Branch Chief bought me an extravagant cup of coffee.
"The Magic Agency is a troublesome place."
"Well, government offices are like that."
"I'm planning to register six more Life Magics, but will he come again?"
"No, he won't come. Previously, the discoverer of a Magic Book had registered nearly twenty spells."
The Branch Chief said that if he were to come again, it would be when I registered more than 20 spells. Besides, the official named Yuuki would issue a report saying that I was just registering Life Magic from the Magic Book, so he said that there was no need to worry about it anymore.
The reason I was suspected of being a Sage was because I registered a lot of magic. However, if Yuuki wrote a report saying that it was extracted from an analysis of the magic circles in the Magic Book, there would be no suspicion for the time being.
If it were me, I would probably write a report stating that the possibility of being a Sage hadn't disappeared, but Yuuki, an official, couldn't write an ambiguous report. If he wrote such a thing, the evaluation would be lowered because of why he went on a business trip.
However, If I continued to develop Life Magic, I would be exposed as a Sage. At that time, I wanted to have become an A-class adventurer. If I became an A-class adventurer, I would enter the world adventurer ranking and become an existence that even the nation could not easily get its hands on.

As was unusual, Alisa's father Yuuki Yuzuru was waiting for her when she returned from school.
"Grandfather(Jii) in Saitama is hospitalized. Alisa, would you like to visit him with me?"
The one Yuzuru called grandfather was Alisa's grandfather, and Yuzuru's father.
"Grandfather is hospitalized? Did he really go to the dungeon?"
Alisa's grandfather was a Muscle Wizard. He was an adventurer who even became B-class. Thanks to that, the Yuuki family built a fortune and became famous as wealthy locals.
Perhaps because of this, Yuuki's children, it seemed that they were expected to become Muscle Wizards. However, it was not necessarily the case that a child of a Muscle Wizard would become a Muscle Wizard.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Her grandfather, Tetsurou, who became a B-class adventurer, had four children, among them, only two had the talent of Muscle Magic, and Alisa's father and youngest brother Shigeki had no talent. Alisa's father started working at a university, and her youngest brother, Shigeki, became a civil servant and left the Yuuki family.
Alisa hurriedly changed her clothes and headed to the station with her father with nothing but a Magic Bag. Alisa-tachi got on the train and got off at a local city in Saitama, and asked to be picked up from a public phone.
After waiting at the station for a while, a car came to pick them up from her father's parents' house. It was an electric car. Buses and the like were equipped with magic stone generators, and run while converting yellow magic stones into electricity. Private cars, on the other hand, used conventional batteries to power their motors.
They went to the hospital in that car. Alisa, who entered her grandfather's hospital room, saw something unexpected, and her tense feelings dissipated. Just when she was wondering what kind of injury he had, her grandfather was doing Hindu squats in the hospital room.
"Yo, did Yuzuru come too. Just Alisa-chan would have been fine."
Yuzuru glared at Tetsurou.
"What do you mean. I heard you were seriously injured."
"Fuun, the people around me just made a big fuss. I drank a primary healing magic potion and was almost cured.
Tetsurou seemed to have been injured in a battle with an ArmorBear. It seemed that his chest was scratched by a claw, but after defeating the ArmorBear, he returned to the ground on his own and was taken by ambulance.
"Grandfather, you're already retired, so please don't be unreasonable."
"Don't say that. I have to go hunting in the dungeon several times a month to settle down."
At that time, the door opened and a large boy of the same age as Alisa entered. He was Alisa's cousin.
"Umm, Grandfather, how are you doing."
When Tetsurou looked at the boy, he looked displeased.
"What, isn't it Kenichirou. Are ArmorBears still too much for you?"
"ArmorBears can only be defeated with a special weapon. Don't be unreasonable."
"Fuun, when I was eighteen, I was defeating ArmorBears."
"Grandfather was special. There are very few students at the academy who can defeat an ArmorBear. And now, grandfather was also almost killed by an ArmorBear."
Tetsurou made a displeased face.
"I beat it properly. I was only slightly injured. Aaahhh! , if Kakeru were alive, I would have dived into the dungeon with him."
Kakeru was Alisa's older brother who died two years ago. Alisa's expression clouded over. Her father saw that and glared at her grandfather.
"Please don't talk about Kakeru."
Her grandfather looked at Alisa's face and apologized.
"I'm sorry, my mouth slipped. If I were ten years younger, I would enter the Suigetsu Dungeon and defeat the OrcKing."
"It's okay. I will defeat the OrcKing."
Hearing that, Kenichirou snorted and laughed.
"Fuun, don't say something you can't do. How can an Analysis Wizard beat an OrcKing?"
Alisa glared at Kenichirou.
"I'm not an Analysis Wizard, I'm a Life Wizard."
"That doesn't change much. What kind of monsters can you defeat with Life Magic?"
"If it's OrcKnight or PetitSalamander, I've defeated them."
Kenichirou didn't believe it. But her grandfather laughed happily.
"Isn't that amazing. As expected of my grandchild."
"Even I can beat OrcKnights and PetitSalamanders."
When Kenichirou protested, Alisa's grandfather laughed heartily. Even if they throw insults and abusive language, his grandchildren look cute.
"But, is it okay to let Alisa-chan go into the dungeon?"
Tetsurou asked Yuzuru. It seemed that he didn't really believe that Life Wizards could defeat OrcKnights or PetitSalamanders. Alisa made a dissatisfied face.
"Alisa has become an F-class adventurer and seems to have defeated many monsters with her friends, but I'm not an adventurer, so I don't really know if that's good or not."
Seeing Yuzuru's worried face, Tetsurou nodded.
"Understood. I'll dive into the dungeon with you and test your strength."
Kenichirou interjected.
"I'm worried about grandfather going alone, so I'll go with you."
Alisa let out a sigh. It was sad that her family didn't trust her even though she was doing fine as an adventurer. It seemed that her parents and grandfather were worried because of her brother.
Tetsurou asked about the equipment Alisa was using. After she explained, he shook his head as if it was no good.
"The armor is okay, but the weapon is bad. You can only defeat small fries with such a weapon. Choose from my collection."
Alisa suspected that her grandfather wanted to show off his collection. However, she decided to have him show her because it was true that she would like it if she had a good weapon.
