Chapter 6: The Occupation is Thief's Black and White Magic User

  To the south of Fog Lake lies a vast forest.

  In the forest, a strange aura pervades, and the spores of the yao mushroom float in the air, forming a miasma that ordinary people cannot tolerate. It's not just humans, many monsters also don't want to get close to this place.

  Therefore, humans who can tolerate the miasma will live here to ensure that they are not attacked by monsters. In addition, the spores of the yao gu can bring hallucinations and increase human magic power to some extent, so people who aspire to become magicians also come here to practice.

  The terrain in the forest is complex and undulating, with occasional rivers forming waterfalls in areas with larger undulations.

  Towering trees that block out the sky and sunlight, those kinds of gigantic trees that are hard to find even in primitive forests outside, requiring dozens of people to encircle them with their arms, can be seen everywhere here.

  For those giant trees, even the roots that protrude above ground are several times thicker than an adult's body.

  "It's really deserted here..."

  Baiyun Mo walked in the Magical Forest, looking at the scenery around him and sighing.

  As a Kekkai demon, Yakumo Mukuro's body is different from most demons.

  In the magical forest which was a forbidden area for most of the monsters, Yakumo Suke felt comfortable all over his body.

  It seems to have returned to its mother body in general.

  Suddenly, Bachiyun Meikong's eyebrows furrowed as he stared ahead.

  Although there was nothing in sight except for the towering trees, Bachiru Moku clearly felt a wave of magical fluctuations coming from ahead.

  Those who live in the Forest of Magic and are capable of using magic are most notably Flandre Scarlet and Alice Margatroid.

  Thinking that he might meet those two famous people in his heart, Yakumo's footsteps quickened involuntarily.

  After walking a little further ahead, passing through a shallow and narrow gorge, an ordinary wooden hut appeared before Yayoi Sumi's eyes.

  A wooden sign stood in front of the hut, with the words "Fog Rain Magic Shop" written on it.

  It seems that the previous magical fluctuations came from Marisa.

  The Great Black and White Robbery

  Behind the small hut, in a clearing at the back, Hachiguma Moku indeed saw a beautiful girl practicing magic.

  The girl has a head of golden shoulder-length hair, one side braided into a fishtail braid hanging in front, with a bow decoration on the braid. A standard black female uniform, with a white apron added on top, and a large black triangular witch's hat on her head, with a large bow decoration on the hat.

  "Huh...?"

  The beautiful girl who saw the sudden appearance of Yagumo Tsumu first widened her eyes, stunned for a while before pointing at him and calling out: "You're that little brother from the Yagumo family!"

  Eight clouds of ink slid down from his forehead in a few black lines.

  Marisa seemed extremely delighted, jumping directly in front of Yakumo Yukari. She didn't care that her skirt had blown up due to the wind while she was mid-air, revealing a glimpse underneath. After landing, Marisa grabbed onto Yukari's sleeve with a familiar face: "Hey! Young master of the Yakumo family, are you here for a request? I haven't received one in ages... I'm almost starving..."

  If you're starving to death, shouldn't you just go back to your old profession - being a great thief?

  Although she was grumbling in her heart, Yakumo Muko still said: "Hello, Marisa. I'm just out for a stroll and happened to arrive here by chance. I felt a wave of magical energy earlier, so I came over to take a look. Are you practicing magic?"

  "Mmm!"

  Marisa nodded repeatedly, seemingly getting excited when talking about magic.

  "How about it? Is the young master of the Yakumo family also interested in magic? Let's have a match!"

  How about one more?

  Baiyun's mouth twitched slightly.

  Is it worthy of being called black and white?

  He was well aware that Marisa's "come on" meant she wanted to have a fight with him.

  However, Yakumo Tatsu had little interest in fighting.

  And just now, I said I was about to starve to death, asking myself if I came to entrust something, and now I want to have a go with myself...

  This thinking is slightly strange and hard to understand...

  "Never mind..."

  "Huh?" Marisa's beautiful little face fell, looking extremely cute, "The young master of the Yakumo family is really too boring!"

  For this girl who is as cute as his own pet Mikan, Yakumo Suke has a very good impression. Looking at her with a small face, he was in trouble for a moment, and then sighed: "That... if it's not the dinner party three years ago, this is our first meeting, right? Is it really okay to fight as soon as we meet?"

  "Huh? It seems so... Ah, that younger brother of the Yakumo family, come in and have a cup of red tea! da☆ze!"

  Even bad habits have emerged...

  Marisa's right hand beckoned, and the broom that was originally placed aside flew into her hands. The girl then walked ahead, heading towards her family's magic shop.

  "Welcome to Misty Rain Magic Shop!"

  Marisa opened the door and walked in a few steps before turning around to face Yakumo Yukari with a smile.

  Standing at the door, Bachyun Mo's face was full of spirit and energy.

  What a mess this house is in...

  Marisa likes to collect (steal) things everywhere, but the collected (stolen) things are casually thrown away at home without any tidying up, so the whole Misty Rain Magic Shop looks like a small magical forest.

  Baiyun Mo felt like he couldn't find a place to set his foot down anywhere.

  In the Lost House, there was a Blue who had all the household chores under control. Ba Yun Mo's life had always been in order and his home was spotless, which even led to him developing a slight cleanliness habit.

  "Uh... Marisa, don't you usually clean your room?"

  Although it's impolite to say so, and she's still a girl, Yakumo Sumeragi just can't take it anymore.

  The room didn't have a strange smell, and there was even a faint fragrance, but it was really too messy...

  The clothes that have been changed can be piled up with leftover food in a mess.

  There were some suspicious objects resembling bombs next to various test tube equipment for doing experiments.

  Next to it were several brooms lying haphazardly on the ground.

  Except for the part of the table that is frequently used, a thick layer of dust has already been laid on other places.

  If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Banyan Mo wouldn't have believed that this was actually a girl's home.

  Is this going to destroy three views?

  Marisa looked at her messy room and blushed for a rare moment.

  "Oh no......that......"

  "Hehe." Bayun Mo smiled and shook his head, taking a step forward. "Since we've met, I suppose it's fate. Would you mind if I help you tidy up the room?"

  Yakumo Yukari has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which wasn't very apparent when she was being taken care of by Ran Yakumo, but now that she's seen Marisa's room, it's starting to show.

  Unless this room is cleaned up, Yakumo Sumeragi feels uncomfortable all over her body.

  "Really? Ah... Is that really okay? I'm troubling you too much..."

  Marisa would feel embarrassed even if she asked someone she wasn't close with to help her clean her room.
