Vol 3 Chapter 69

Chapter 69

My sensation has s.h.i.+fted

Authors note that isn’t relevant anymore.

“Ha! Hua! This is really hard!”(Sieg)

“Huh! Ha! Don’t scratch the material! Hiya! This is also troublesome!”(Chris)

Sieg and Chris who were supposed to have come as the leaders of our group said that it didn’t feel right just spectating us, so they decided to partic.i.p.ate in the demon subjugation as well.

Chris, the only knight present, has been tasked to take down the demons that get through our defenses.

More importantly…

“Sieg, you can use chantless magic?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Ahhhhh!? Ha! This is the usual Merlin style of training! If you practice it for a long time, the magical power you can control increases… Hua! And then you can cast magic without chants! I reached the point where I am able to use it!”(Sieg)

“Oh, I see.”(s.h.i.+n)

“I mean! You chat like it’s normal! While! Using magic without reservation! Shooting demons down like they’re made of paper!”(Sieg)

“Shouldn’t you be familiar with it?”(s.h.i.+n)

“What! How could I be!?”(Sieg)

Prior to this battle, Sieg began to shoot magic chantlessly.

The magical power he can control now is worlds apart from before.

Just by practicing magic power control, it increases the amount of magic power that can be controlled by so much…

“Everyone can do it.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Even our Magic Division! Everyone can do it!”(Sieg)

“That’s right, it’s a good thing.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Everyone was chanting! But! Merlin and s.h.i.+n are doing it this way! When I said this is your practice method, Everyone started doing it seriously!”(Sieg)

After all grandpa’s name is  very distinguished among the magicians.

Everyone said that practicing magic power control in silence is the most boring part of magic practice.

By the way, I’m having fun just because of the fact that I get to control magical power, so I never had that mentality.

Even now I do it everyday.

“Eat this! Alright! Now!”(Chris)

“Oh!? Chris, what did you do just now?”(s.h.i.+n)

She shot the blade of the exchange sword towards the demon, it pierced the demon, she exchanged the blade in the interlude, and went for the next demon.

“The spring for ejection when exchanging blades is designed to be the most powerful one! When I change blades, it creates an opening! If the blade can be ejected, not utilizing it effectively would be a waste; wouldn’t you say!?”(Chris)

Oh, there was a use like that for the replacement function.

Replacing blades used as an opportunity to attack.

“If that’s the case, don’t you need considerable strength to change a blade?”(s.h.i.+n)

“My training! Is not that weak! Uhm… Did it fit…?”(Chris)

While I was talking to Chris and Sieg, the wave of demons fell before we even noticed it.

“How about we leave it here for today?”(Chris)

“We’re worn out already!”(Alice)

“Ha… Ha… s.h.i.+n… Already… Broken…”(Sicily)

Everyone is worn out.

Sicily was practicing without rest, so she seems to be more exhausted than anyone else.

“Well then, that’s it for today.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Ha… As expected I’m really tired…”(Yuri)

“It was easier to just release magic at full power…”(Rin)

“s.h.i.+n is right. Although I was the follow up, didn’t I end up taking down a lot of demons?”(Maria)

“Is that so?

It took me a while to get accustomed to something this big.”(s.h.i.+n)

“What the heck… what did you usually take down?”(August)

“This.”(s.h.i.+n)

I looked up at the sky, and I saw a bird flying far above the forest. I know from experience that it’s a delicious meal despite its appearance.

I shoot a very small wind blade towards the bird.

The bird could not escape the blade and consequently lost its head and started falling towards the ground.

I also manipulated the wind to catch the falling bird and bring it to my person.

The next step is to hold the bird’s feet and drain its blood.

We’ve been killing off demons all this time, so everyone had gotten used to mere blood and guts.

Everyone in the team was stunned by the spectacle. Only Chris and Sieg was exempt from the astonished crowd.

“Eh? Is it that easy to hunt down a flying bird?”(Olivia)

“It’s not like that… Usually, you would shoot the birds with arrows before they fly away.”(Tony)

“In flight… And furthermore a single blow to a flying bird…?”(Julius)

“His magic skill is unreasonable as ever.”(August)

“s.h.i.+n… didn’t you say that you hunted flocks?”(Sicily)

“A flock?”(Everyone)

“If it’s smaller birds, there wouldn’t have been enough for everyone. Chris and Sieg ate quite a lot didn’t you?”(s.h.i.+n)

It wasn’t every day but various people came by frequently.

Both Sieg and Chris ate quite a lot whenever they came to visit my home.

“Oh, it was a considerable feast everytime I went.”(Sieg)

“We felt bad for just eating while expending no effort, so we went out to hunt with s.h.i.+n but…”(Chris)

“Because we were shown that scene…”(Sieg)

“We just went along to collect the prey s.h.i.+n hunted. We were completely useless.”(Chris)

It was like that. Because it is troublesome, it was their task to collect the felled birds. It was easier this way, and I didn’t notice the facial expressions of the two people.

You cared that much…?

“Well, I won’t tell you to do it anymore. However, won’t precise magic control come in handy in certain situations? For example, if they take hostages.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Is a situation like that even possible…?”(Alice)

By my demonstration of precise magic shots, it seems that everyone’s motivation has risen.

However, today, they’re all tired, so I’m hopeful for the next time.

After that, we split the spoils and prepared for our return.

“Well, let’s go home. Sicily.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Yes?”(Sicily)

“Hop on my back.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Err, yes? A-a-alright!”(Sicily)

“Sicily is the most exhausted here. I’ve caused you so much trouble. This is the least I can do.”(s.h.i.+n)

“But, but…”(Sicily)

“If you won’t do what I told you, would you rather be in a princess carry?”(s.h.i.+n)

“I will get on your back!”(Sicily)

d.a.m.n. I was hoping that I’d get to princess carry her. Would it be too embarra.s.sing for her as I expected?

I started running carefully so that I don’t burden Sicily, who is resting on my back.

“Sicily, I’m sorry for today.”(s.h.i.+n)

“What’s wrong, s.h.i.+n?”(Sicily)

“No… I made it tough on Sicily today…”(s.h.i.+n)

“Huh? Oh, I didn’t mind that at all. Rather, I was lucky that I got to practice a lot with s.h.i.+n’s follow ups.”(Sicily)

Those are Sicily’s true feelings I guess, but I was in the situation where I have to help Sicily grow more than anything else.

“Because Sicily specialises in healing magic, you have less practice in attack magic than anybody… I want you to obtain even a little bit more power while you still can.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Wasn’t the reason that you were so harsh on me because I volunteered?”(Sicily)

“Still. If I don’t give Sicily enough time to practice attack magic and something happens… That’s what scares me most.”(s.h.i.+n)

“s.h.i.+n…”(Sicily)

“As a result, I was only strict on Sicily. I was being selfish, so… I’m sorry.”(s.h.i.+n)

My selfishness is the root cause of her exhaustion.

Even if I’m giving her harsh treatment… Sicily is important to me.

“s.h.i.+n… Thank you.”(Sicily)

“Sicily?”(s.h.i.+n)

Sicily clung to me.

“Being cherished by s.h.i.+n like this… I know that I’m loved.”(Sicily)

It looks like my feelings were conveyed. That’s good…

“Training was tough but …. But, because s.h.i.+n is thinking about me, I will do my best. I will do my best next time too!”(Sicily)

“When I’m being unreasonable will you tell me that it’s impossible?”(s.h.i.+n)

“I will not say that! Because…”(Sicily)

Sicily silently brought her lips close to my ear and whispered.

“I’d like to be praised by s.h.i.+n…”(Sicily)

…

Hot! My face is hot, my body is hot!

When I felt Sicily clinging tightly to my back and whispering things like that into my ear…

“You guys… You still feel like flirting at a time like this?”(August)

“A cla.s.sic sickeningly sweet couple.”(Maria)

“You two are bright red! I wonder what you two talked about?”(Yuri)

I know that our faces are red. I mean, we’re practically steaming.

Of course, the surrounding people took notice of our plight.

“Ha ha… My younger brother is in the springtime of youth… I wonder if I should settle down as well…”(Sieg)

“I wonder where my partner is.”(Chris)

“…There isn’t one?”(Sieg)

“Do you want to die?”(Chris)

“Saying things like that, there’s no way anyone would want you as a bride…”(Sieg)

“I-if they don’t rush over to me, something must we wrong with them!”(Chris)

Let’s leave them alone.

I mean, both of them have known each other for a long time, and I think they suit each other, but… I stopped myself from voicing my opinion. A big fight will surely break out between them.

Sicily, who was getting teased by everyone, couldn’t raise her head out of embarra.s.sment and clung even closer to me, and Chris and the bachelorette camp were about to snap when we arrived at the meeting place.

“Oh, you’re back… Hey! What happened to Claude?”(Alfred)

“Yes, teacher, please listen to this!”(Alice)

Alice gladly explained the situation leading up to now.

“So it’s a result of flirting… Well, Sieg, Chris, and Walford are here, so there couldn’t be a worst case scenario.”(Alfred)

“Oh, that’s a surprisingly high evaluation from our senior.”(Sieg)

“Despite your character, I recognize your skills. That goes without saying for Chris.”(Alfred)

“Thank you, Marcus. If you weren’t married, I might’ve proposed to you myself.”(Chris)

“What? What the h.e.l.l are you saying!? Have you lost your mind?”(Alfred)

“Ahh, that girl, it seems like s.h.i.+n’s influence is making her hungry for love.”(Sieg)

“…Yeah, those two are, well… after watching the way they flirt, sometimes it really makes me want to see my wife.”(Alfred)

“You too, senior?”(Sieg)

“By “too”, you’re including yourself. You… are you hoping to meet someone…?”(Alfred)

“Hmmmmm… someone…”(Sieg)

“It isn’t the best place for it… with the magic division…”(Alfred)

I heard the conversation between Mr. Alfred and Sieg. Maybe the reason why Mr. Alfred left the magic division was because he couldn’t flirt with women…
