Chapter 206: Earth is Just too Peaceful
While Kazuma and the others are doing their very best to fend off the demonic beings horde, it is another peaceful day on Earth without any threats or whatsoever fron the demons.
"It's a little bit strange that the demons has been quiet lately. There are no attacks and no incident involving the demons lately... heck, its one peaceful week already!" Godou said as he bite his melon bread once before swallowing everything else.
"Isn't it a good news? Whenever demons are involved, we have no rest as we have to keep on doing missions. Since it is very peaceful, I managed to catch up with my lessons easily after missing lots of them," Moonlight said while gazing to the students walking with them while they are going to school.
"Damn, I am itching for a fight ya know. It's not like I am waiting for chaos to come but its been a while since something happened and even delinquents are so well behaved these days, I have nothing to vent out my thirst for fighting..."
"You musclehead... why don't you even try to work with your grades once in a while? It won't hurt if you even do some studying once in a while and fix that low grade of yours."
"Agh, that is bothersome. You know that is my very bad area. I don't even understand a single stuff. I even ask Kazuma for some answers one time since I totally forgot what to answer."
Moonlight can only facepalm hearing what Godou's reasoning for not studying.
"Ah, speaking of Kazuma, its been a while since he accepted that unknown mission right? Have you heard any news from him? I can see his chat account is online sometimes but it was only for a moment before he will go offline once again," Moonlight
"Huh? Can't you just sent him an offline message so that once he is back online, he can chat with you?"
"I sent one a few days ago but he is not sending any replies yet. I even think he is purposely avoiding my messages."
"Maybe he is just busy."
The two stopped talking after they arrived at their destination and split for their respective classrooms. While Moonlight is on her way to the classroom, her homeroom teacher stopped her.
"Akari-san, can you come here for a second?"
Moonlight is confused on why she was called. During the busy days, she has to go cutting classes to respond on the operation and on some cases, she has to take a day off without even sending any sort of excuse letter or message to the teacher, causing her to be called most of the time. However, she has not been doing any cutting classes lately and she is not absent for a week already. She is also thinking if the teacher is going to give her some sort of task though she is unsure too.
"Is there something wrong, sensei?"
"Ah, no. Its not about you. I just wanted to know when will Fukuyama-kun will be back from his urgent business. He is getting behind the class already as he skipped a lot of days from class. I heard you are friends with him, did he say anything?"
"I'm sorry sir but he is out of reach lately. We have no means of contact to him yet and I am still trying to contact him for any updates."
"Hmm, is that so... I see. Well, if you managed to contact him, please make sure that he can get back soon enough. It's almost time for the second quarter of the tests. I hope he can't get behind the other students in lessons and manage to catch up."
"I will let you know, sensei."
"Thanks Akari-san. Just let him know when you can contact him," teacher smiled before he returned to the faculty to take the books and items he needed for the class.
...
The day is nothing special and class ended without incident. Moonlight has nothing to do and Godou has been itching to go into fights so he decided to find one and went ahead. Moonlight on the other hand, is bored and just like Godou, is looking for something for her to do.
"Ugh. I can't get used to this... peacefulness. Maybe Godou is right... it's just too peaceful..."
Moonlight sighed before she decided to drop into the Magician Society.
Just like the world at peace, the Magician Society is not that bustling with magicians. Sure, there are some of them walking and taking some requests on the bulletin board but other than that, nothing else. Many of the magicians are just loitering and has nothing to do at all.
Moonlight takes a look at the bulletin board for something she can take on. She made sure that she is looking for some easy to finish requests to avoid long term quests that will cause her to go on absent spree once more.
While checking on the bulletin board, Moonlight notices Anya and Maple putting some requests on the bulletin board together.
"Hey there, Maple, Anya. Good afternoon!" Moonlight greeted them.
"Oh, it's you Akari-san! It's been a while!" Maple smiled as she finished her stack of papers to the bulletin board.
"Good Afternoon too," Anya said softly before she continues on her task.
"Are you here to take up some requests?" Maple asked.
"Indeed. It's been too peaceful lately and I have nothing much to do. I was hoping to find some request that is easy and quick to finish like simple gathering request or extermination quests."
"Unfortunately, the society is out of those types of quests at the moment. Things like those are currently not available."
"Not a single one? What about those new requests out there?"
"Nah, they are long term requests and they needed a party to accomplish what they wanted to. Some are also investigation types which will take quite a lot of time before it will be done."
"Not even those gathering requests"
Anya answered my question the moment she heard me ask.
"There is nothing for you to take. All of the gathering requests issues, are already undertaken by some most magicians who are bored so if you wanted to find one, I suggest you needed to wait for a few more days."
Moonlight sighed and scratched her head hearing the reason. Then, she just realized something.
"Why are you helping out here in Magician Society Maple? Aren't you a magician too? Why become a receptionist?" Moonlight asked.
"Haha, just like you, I am getting bored from everything and most requests I have been eyeing for is already taken. I wanted to get something done."
"Then, is Anya-chan also helping you since she was bored?" I asked.
"No. I helped Maple-onee chan to find out the quest that my stepdad take to wake me up from my slumber."
"You what?" Moonlight was shocked.
"Hush! We already know what is Kazuma doing but because it is confidential, we had a hard time checking it out," Maple revealed while whispering.
"Confidential? I thought Kazuma is taking a job somewhere while working far away."
"That's what I thought too when I discovered that Kazuma is not working on his job here but on the job on the other world. He is working in another world."
