Chapter 6 Surprising Talen

[ Door bell's ringing ]

Alto-san just came back to the store after looking for some stuff in his carriage and he brought back some books on his hands, he put it on the table near the storefront.

"What are you kids are doing"

He walks to the storefront and saw Ilya with an 'I can't believe my eyes' expression written all over her face and on the floor, Erwin is playing with Yuika and Alto just laugh at them.

Ilya finally notices Alto-san's presence and she turns towards him, still with an 'I can't believe my eyes' all on her face, Ilya walk closer to Alto and shows him the drawing.

"Look at this Alto-san"

Ilya eagerly shows it to Alto-san, he can't do anything but to giggle at Ilya's behavior when she holds the drawing for Alto to see.

"What's wrong Alto-san?"

Ilya tilts her head, doesn't understand why Alto is laughing at her.

"Ah no, pardon me. Who drew this? you?"

Alto took the drawing and watch it closer, he amazed by how good the drawing is, it's not a level of 12 years old drawing, it looks like a national painting level.

Ilya shook her head and then she pointed her finger at Erwin who's scribbling on the paper with Yuika joining him there.

"Uwaahh... You're kidding right?"

Alto watches the drawing closer, he can't believe such 6 years old kid was able to draw like a professional, but then Ilya just shook her head again, faster this time.

"He drew it, That was Yuika-chan in the drawing"

Ilya's pointing at the drawing and convince Alto-san that her little brother is the one who drew it.

"Ah, you're right, it's Yuika"

Alto looks closer and notices that the one in the drawing is Yuika, he still amazed by the drawing that it looked like a national painting level.

"Ah right, I brought the book I mentioned before, take a look"

Alto pointed his finger to the table near the storefront, there was like 5 books piled up on the table.

Ilya takes a look at the book that written about mana control for the magician to learn, she takes a look at what's inside and after she flips through several pages she closes the book and puts it back on the table.

"Thanks for this Alto-san, Erwin will be so happy to read it"

"Ah don't worry about it, it's not like I want to learn magic or something. My acquaintance is a magic researcher, he happens to have a lot of books and he gave me those books, he said to me if by any chance I wanted to learn magic just come to him, he just randomly laughed at me after saying that"

"I think that person isn't a bad person yeah?"

Both Ilya and Alto's having a good time chatting until Erwin stood up and walks to the table when he saw there were books there.

He takes a look at the book Ilya just saw and read it, he starts to make a serious face reading the book and just sit on the floor.

"Are you really that interested in this magic, boy? also Yuika, here"

Alto handover the drawing to Yuika who is following Erwin from behind, she looks so happy when she's looking at the drawing.

Alto walks to the store door and pulls it open.

"I'll come to visit again soon, maybe after I come back from Deridia kingdom"

Deridia kingdom is a neighbor of the Makishi kingdom, traders from Makishi kingdom travel there to do business trade or just to visit it. Deridia kingdom is one of the biggest kingdoms for traders to visit and they have the biggest market for traders.

"Should we practice magic, Erwin? since the store was pretty busy today, I think it's better for us to close the store early"

Ilya strokes her little brother's head and Erwin just looked at his big sister's face with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you, big sis, I love you.."

Erwin looks excited, he put down the book and jump to his big sister to hug her, it makes Ilya's face turns red, she pinched those cute cheeks of her little brother and cuddle him, but somehow it makes Yuika's mood at a bad state, she pouted and her cheeks turn red.

Ilya notices it and then she let go of Erwin, she knows that Yuika likes Erwin a lot, but Erwin is just too dense to notice it.

"I'm sorry Yuika-chan, I promise I won't do this again"

Ilya tries to apologize to Yuika to make her mood better, while behind her Erwin's still excitedly looking at the books on the table.

"Well, I don't really mind..."

Yuika said it in a really soft voice, her cheeks turn red again and she turns her face away from Ilya.
