CH 105

“Oh. You’re back, Cain. Gianluca.”

When I returned to the plaza, I saw that the magical beasts that had been brought in were already laid out. One of the knights and Julien were writing on a piece of paper in a leather binder, but when he saw Cain and Gianluca had returned, he raised one hand and called out to them, “You went out with a big mouth, I assume it paid off?”

Crossing his arms and looking provocative, Julien asked him about the outcome. Cain lifted the fanged raccoon in his right hand. Gianluca lifted the hand that was not holding hands with Cain and showed the horned rabbit to Julien.

He said, “Hey brother, I have killed two bunnies.”

Julien’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as Gianluca said this in a very sleepy voice. Gianluca’s tone was much younger.

“That’s all you got for daring me to do it? The fur is charred, so it seems certain that he did it with magic and not with his share of the knights.”

“It takes skill to hit a small target with magic.”

“I suppose you could say that the magic of a child just entering school is about the same as that of a child who has just entered school.”

It was when Julian nodded in agreement, exhaling a sigh. From the exit of the forest where Cain and Gianluca had come out, Senshur and Valletti came carrying a charred cow-like beast in a two-man team.

“Oooh! If anybody’s got a hand free, help me! There’s still some lying around in the back.”

“It’s heavy, Mr. Senshur! Don’t lift that way! It’s heavy!”

Senshur is calling out to his fellow knights in a loud voice while carrying the beast. After a while, dozens of beasts were brought into the plaza and lined up.

The beasts were charred, soaked, and cut by sharp blades that were not swords.

“The bigger the target, the easier it is to hit.”

“Hey, brother. That one, look at that one. I did that big pig.”

“You’re so mean!”

Cain says with a smirk and a laugh, and Gianluca sleepily but happily points at the magical pig beast. Julien swears in disgust at this.

“Cain. Is it because of the magic that Gianluca looks so sleepy?”

“Yes, that’s right. If you use too much physical strength, your body will stop moving, and if you use too much magic power, your consciousness will stop moving.”

“The tent for you is in the back over there. You can take Gianluca and go ahead and rest. Can you dismantle beasts, Cain? Anyway, I don’t think you can.”

“I have no experience in dismantling beasts. I would like to learn if I have the chance.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“I’ll be dismantling another one tomorrow, so I’ll ask the knight then. I’ll ask the knight to do it tomorrow. For now, take care of Gianluca.”

Cain nodded at Julian’s words, and then, pulling on the hand he was holding with Gianluca, he moved to the designated tent. Of the several tents, Julien pointed to the largest one.

“That’s like royalty. I’d better take off my shoes for this one.”

He sat Gianluca down at the entrance of the tent, who was already looking really sleepy, and Cain squatted down to take off Gianluca’s shoes. He pulled both feet out of the shoes and pushed them into the tent as if rolling them.

He placed the shoes by the entrance of the tent, and then he himself entered the tent.

“Great job, Gianluca”, he said. “You used magic and got up on your own and returned to the base.”

“Really great?”

“It’s great indeed. You are a full-fledged magician if you can make it back to your base. It is only half a sorcerer if he falls down because he uses too much magic.”

“Cain pulled me out. I was too sleepy to walk alone.”

Cain unfolds a blanket that is tucked in a corner of the tent and drapes it over Gianluca’s back. He then gently stroked Gianluca’s head, which was halfway out of the blanket. 

“Even though you were sleepy and alone, I was able to get back to the tent and get some rest. I was too sleepy to walk alone.

Cain unfolds a blanket that is tucked in a corner of the tent and drapes it over Gianluca’s back. He then gently stroked Gianluca’s head, which was halfway out of the blanket.

He said, “Even though you were being held by the hand, you were walking on your own two feet, which is quite impressive. The first day I did my magic, I fainted and had to be carried on the back by an adult.”

“So for all that great magic, Cain also used too much and fell down?”

Gently tipping Gianluca’s wobbly-headed body over to lie down, Cain also lay down beside him, wrapping his own blanket around his body.

“That’s right. I too have fallen because I used too much without knowing the limits of magic. The bigger you get, the more magic power you have, so it is harder to fall down. But you have to learn by feeling your own body, like, ‘I’m running out of concentration, so it’s time to start using less and less magic.’ “

“Cain. Please teach me magic again.”

“Of course.”

I could hear Gianluca breathing in his sleep. Since he was drowsy from lack of magic power, he would wake up as soon as his magic power recovered after a good night’s sleep. He was acting like a big brother to Gianluca, but in fact, Cain had also been over-exerting himself and was feeling quite sleepy.

[It would be useful if we could see the maximum MP and the remaining MP in numerical values…]

(It would be a hot development if there were high-powered magic that could be used only when the HP is in the last quarter…)

Thinking about this, Cain also began to sleep next to Gianluca.

“I think you guys are overkilling it…aren’t you?”

All the monsters and beasts we had defeated in the forest were laid out on the square, and Julien came into the tent as we finished recording their sizes, types, and numbers. He came in while talking to the two who were in the tent before him to complain, but his complaints didn’t last when he saw them sleeping peacefully in front of him.

Julien shrugged and walked out of the tent, “I guess magic isn’t so all-powerful when it leaves you so defenseless so soon after a successful performance.”
