Kingdom of Magicians.
This is a kingdom that belongs to Magicians.
The people who live here—most of them are Magicians—can all use some kind of magic. They ride brooms and fly, soaring through the blue sky like a flock of birds.
“It’s already my eighth day since crossing over.”
A girl with orange-and-white hair and bright blue eyes stood on the street, gazing enviously at the Magicians flying through the air.
Flying on a broom is the most basic kind of magic. But even this simplest magic was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for the Blue-Eyed Girl.
It’s not because she’s stupid. It’s because she isn’t even from this world!
That’s why she couldn’t comprehend any of the magic theory of this world!
Ah… what a scam. Why does there have to be such a weird effect?
On top of that, the Blue-Eyed Girl had discovered she couldn’t even use the magic that the body’s original owner knew!
She had magic power, but couldn’t use magic.
Ah… what a scam.
As a Three-Good Girl from the Blue Planet, she died saving a cat, only to unexpectedly cross over into a world of magic. What a mess.
Well, that’s just how it is. Even if she can’t learn magic—maybe—but she had a very powerful and remarkable gift called—
God’s Reproduction!
Just from the name you know it’s awesome. In reality, as long as she touched a target with a certain amount of magic power, she would gain one of their abilities!
But… she needed to touch them for a full ten minutes.
Ah, what a scam.
When she first arrived in this world, she tried several times, but the conditions were too harsh. She hadn’t succeeded even once.
Instead, she got beaten up.
As a result, she became a minor celebrity as a local female hooligan.
That’s definitely not a good thing, right?
Hilsy let out a small sigh, walking along the empty street.
Why was it empty? Wasn’t it because everyone here could fly? Who would bother walking?
A mouthwatering scent wafted to her nose, and Hilsy perked up, running toward the source.
Ah… it’s the smell of freshly baked bread. I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I guess today’s breakfast will be bread!
Bang!
Lost in thought, Hilsy accidentally bumped into a passerby and knocked him right over.
No, he definitely tripped on his own. I’m just a weak girl who can’t even use magic—how could I possibly have that much strength?
“Um, sorry, are you alright?”
“Hiss… I’m fine, just a little bump.” The passerby clutched his head as he got up from the ground. “Watch where you’re going next time, not everyone is as easygoing as I am!”
“Yeah, yeah, got it.”
Watching the passerby leave, Hilsy sighed and rubbed her still-aching shoulder.
I’m hurt too, you know.
But she quickly put it out of her mind and focused on the freshly baked bread in her hands.
She was so hungry that she ate three slices of bread, each bigger than her palm, before she finally felt satisfied. But when it came time to pay, she suddenly froze.
“What’s wrong, little sister? Time to settle up!” urged the Shop Owner beside her.
Hilsy’s face turned sour. Oh no, she’d lost her wallet!
That was all her savings in there! Including the money she… ahem, earned before!
It had to have been that passerby who stole it, right? It must have been! How shameless—to have hands and feet and still steal from a weak girl like me! Don’t you have any dignity?!
But it was too late to chase him now—he was long gone.
“I… I don’t have any money.”
“……”
The female Shop Owner, who looked to be in her twenties or thirties, went from kind to flat to annoyed to smug, all in a matter of seconds.
Who knows why she could make so many different faces.
“I see, little sister. Not having money really puts me in a difficult position.”
“Could I put it on my tab, beautiful big sister?”
The Shop Owner gave her a look as if to say, “Are you daydreaming?”
Hilsy tapped her forehead, then reluctantly offered, “I can help you take care of the shop…”
“Hehe, that couldn’t be better! I can finally go out and have some fun!”
“……”
And so, Hilsy helped sell bread all the way until evening.
Don’t ask why she had to work a whole day just for three loaves of bread. Since the Shop Owner Lady hadn’t returned, Hilsy didn’t dare run off—if she got caught afterward, she’d be in real trouble.
So naturally, she sold bread until night, selling more than a hundred loaves (once the fresh ones ran out, she sold yesterday’s leftovers)—truly dedicated.
At night, the Kingdom of Magicians grew quiet. Lights twinkled along the streets, and there were fewer Magicians in the sky—most had gone back to the Inn to rest.
“So much money~”
Inside the Bread Shop, Hilsy cradled a huge handful of Copper Coins, grinning foolishly.
If she just took all this money…
“Hey, little sister, you’re still here?”
The Shop Owner Lady suddenly appeared behind Hilsy, making her jump.
“I… ahem, I was waiting for you to come back, big sister.”
“What’s that in your hand?”
“I’m counting up today’s earnings.” Hilsy wore an earnest look—no intention at all of running off with the cash.
“Is that so? You did well!”
“Oh, it was nothing.”
Under the Shop Owner Lady’s watchful gaze, Hilsy regretfully placed the Copper Coins back into the drawer, moving slowly and with deep reluctance.
“By the way, I worked for you all day, so I’ve more than paid for the bread, right? Shouldn’t I get some extra wages, big sister?”
“Hmm… well.”
“I sold over a hundred loaves, you know!”
Hilsy emphasized this, as if she were some great hero.
“Alright, fine.”
The Shop Owner Lady agreed and fished two Silver Coins out of her pocket, tossing them to Hilsy.
Two Silver Coins!
A huge win!
With the money in hand, Hilsy was clearly in higher spirits. She asked the Shop Owner Lady if she needed any more help—she didn’t need much, just two Silver Coins a day—but of course, she got kicked out.
So Hilsy walked alone down the cold, bleak street, looking a little pitiful.
She pulled her clothes tighter around herself and hurried toward the Inn where she’d been staying.
But she only packed her things and left right away. After all, staying even a single night in that fancy Inn wasn’t cheap.
Damn it, if it weren’t for that thief, I’d be lying on a soft bed right now! Instead of wandering around like a stray cat with nowhere to go.
Ah, what a scam! Don’t let me run into you again! Or I’ll knock your head crooked!
Muttering angrily, Hilsy finally felt a bit better and began looking for a place to stay tonight.
But with only two Silver Coins left, it seemed she’d have to find a cheap Inn just to get by.
“Miss, are you planning to spend the night here? Our rates are fair—only three Silver Coins per night!”
“Ah, no, I’m just sightseeing.” Hilsy replied without missing a beat.
Three Silver Coins? Why not just rob me?
She went to several Inns in a row, but the prices made Hilsy shrink back—even a high-end Inn cost ten Silver Coins a night!
So expensive—what, am I supposed to fly to the heavens after staying there?
Hilsy sighed, hugging her bundle as she headed in a different direction. If she couldn’t find a suitable Inn, she might end up sleeping on the street.
That would be just too scary.
