Chapter 37: The black market
After the three of them were done eating Sekke sat back in a comfortable position and looked at Secre.
"Looks like you had you fun."
Secre looked at Sekke as raised her wing in response.
Sekke smiled and caressed her head making Anna who was seeing him feel a bit jealous of the bird.
'...I never thought that a bird will make me this envious.' thought Anna but suddenly her eyes widened a bit as she looked directly at Sekke.
"Sekke-kun there is something on your face." and without even giving him time to reply, she took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Sekke who had him mouth forecfully being wiped by the girl beside him looked at her and thought, '...Let's just think that she is just touchy.'
Anna soon stopped wiping his mouth and nodded her head with satisfaction.
But all of sudden she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Turning around all three of them saw another women with crimson lion robe looking at Anna with a worried look on her face.
"Anna hurry up, you will be scolded by captain if he found out you were skipping the patrol." and grabbed her hand and started pulling her away.
"Wai-" said Anna but was totally ignored by the other girl who dragged her back.
"...Well there she goes...let's continue exploring." said Sekke as Secre jumped onto his shoulder feeling a bit happy after a good meal and having her alone time back with Sekke.
-------------------
Walking around for a while Seeke enjoyed his free time without any problems.
He also met some of the members of his squad along the way but decided to let them have their fun too and continued his walk.
"Oi! Sekke! You are her too, huh." said Asta who came towards him along with Vanessa and Noelle.
"Some kind of friend you are leaving me all alone at the base." said Sekke as he looked at Asta.
"Hey! I tried to wake you up but that bird of your stopped me from doing so!" said Asta as he pointed his finger at Secre who looked at Asta and started pecking the hell out of him.
"Yo, Sekke. What have you been doing here?" asked Vanessa.
"Well, met one of my acquaintances, had some street food, bought some medicines and other stuff and just looked around." said Sekke as he he stopped Secre from attacking Asta.
"What about you all?"
"Fufu, wanna join us and let me guide you?" asked Vanessa to which Sekke just nodded his head and followed them.
"You guys sure are popular around the town." said Sekke as he looked at Noelle and Vanessa.
"Well, being magic knights do have it's perks....where is your robe by the way?" asked Vanessa.
"Today's my day off. No need to wear it." said Sekke making the three of them look at him with their eyes widened a bit.
"Now that you said it..." muttered Noelle as she held her robe.
"How can you Sekke we worked so hard to earn it!" said Asta as he hugged his robe.
"You do take it out to wash it right?" asked Sekke making Asta grunt and take a step back.
"N-Now now it's your choice if you want to wear it or not." said Vanessa as she led them to the black market.
"Hey where are we going, it's just a dead end here." said Asta as he looked around.
Vanessa chuckled at that and said, "Follow me." and continued walking towards the wall and passed through it.
Asta and Noelle widend their eyes in surprise while Sekke just stood forward and said, "Alright platform 9 ³/⁴ here I come." and ran straight through the wall as well.
"My aren't you excited." said Vanessa as she looked at Sekke who immediately came in after her.
"Well you get to experience that daily, you know." said Sekke as he stepped aside for Asta and Noelle to come as well.
Soon the other two rookies joined them and they started looking around the black market.
Finding some of the items that interested Sekke he separated from the girls who were looking out for an item to help in controlling Noelle's magic.
"Hey Asta?"
"Hmm?"
"Wanna try this?"
"What is this...a book?"
"It's the latest edition of "Under the witch's robe" magazine. My dad had some of these....one of the best 'research material' in my opinion." said Sekke as he looked intently at the magazine that was present on the shelf in front of him protected by the shopkeeper.
"Eh? Research? Sounds troublesome to me. What kind of research?" asked Asta.
Sekke looked around and noticed that no girl or Secure was near him and brought his mouth close to Asta's ear and whispered something to him.
Asta's eyes immediately widend in surprise and said, "B-But isn't t-that shameful behaviour for as magic knight!"
"A magazine which have pictures that are playing as a video with 'all kind" of stuff.....think about it Asta. Those bouncy tits jiggling in front of you. That bubbly ass bei- Oi Asta, Asta!" yelled Sekke as he looked at Asta who was fallen on the ground with some blood coming out from his nose.
"...That made him nosebleed?....Looks like he will habe trouble having sex with his partner in future." said Sekke as he just let him be and the bought the magazine from the shopkeeper while also secretly hiding it in between his Grimoires.
"Thief! Thief!" yelled an elderly voice making Asta wake up in an instant.
"Where?!" asked Asta as he started looking around.
"There." pointed Sekke as he saw a man running out of the black market.
"C'mon Sekke we need to help." said Asta and rushed towards the man.
"Already on it." said Sekke as he pointed his finger towards the thief and made a magic bullet.
"Paralysis bullet." said Sekke as the magic bullet fired towards the man hitting on his neck and shocking him with electricity and paralyzing him as well.
Asta who ran towards the man unknown to the fact that the thief was paralysed took out his huge sword and slammed it in the man knocking him out in an instant.
'...I hope that the guy is left alive after that.' thought Sekke as he saw Asta saying something to the man while Noelle and Vanessa along with an old lady approached him.
Sekke too walked towards them and got thanked by the old lady and recieved a coin from her as a reward.
'If I remember it correctly then this granny must be the wizard king.' thought Sekke not really sure about it.
---------------------
Later that day back at the black bulls base everyone returned back rather late and started telling about their experiences out loud.
"Oh right! Yami-san?" said Sekke.
"Hmm, what is it?" asked Yami.
"I got a gift for you." said Sekke with a smile and gave him a box.
"Huh? A gift for me....it's the first time that someone gave me a gift." said Yami as he looked at the box from every side.
"What now? Should I open it?" asked Yami as he and everyone else in the room looked atg Sekke.
Sekke just gestured them to go on seeing which all of them looked at the box.
"Huh, ain't it shiny....what the hell is it?" asked Yami as he opened the bax which revealed some kind of metallic tool inside it.
"It is a magic toilet paper maker. You just need to pass magic energy to it and it will make toilet paper for you. Just install it in your toilet." said Sekke with a smile.
"....Who the hell made this uselessly useful thing..." said Yami as he looked at the thing in his hand with some surprise.
"Wait....are you saying that I go to take dump toouch?!" said Yami as he looked at Sekke and narrowed his eyes.
Sekke just averted his eyes and said, "Charmy what is in today's menu?"
"La? Oh yeah, for today-"
"Oi, dumbass you dare ignore me." said Yami as he walked up to Sekke and grabbed his head.
Sekke just groaned in pain as his head got clenched by Yami who let him go after a while when he went to break his limits.
