Life with my Little Sister

"Nh...?

"Have you noticed...?

I felt a soothing sign and woke up.

Vere seems to be of good quality in front of us.

Looks like Mr. Malhelit is spying on me.

(What kind of situation is this...?

I immediately remembered the past with blurriness.

I fought the Pugmarion and managed to win after being overwhelmed.

Then I must have lost consciousness immediately after that.

(So, as a good thing...)

Why am I being knee-rested by Mr. Malhelit?

In the immediate vicinity, Philomena looks as if she were stubborn.

"Alto, I should have put my kneecaps on...!

What?

I don't think so. Was there a relationship?

When I tried to get up, I was gently inhibited by my beautiful white hand, which was slowly stretching out.

"You must still be asleep. You were down."

It is very soft to say. I feel like The Mother.

Is it the type with strong maternity, or is it someone with a child?

(The magic is still there...)

About 70% of the amount that I think I can use it.

It collapsed because it was consumed instantaneously, not because of the lack of gas, so can we still fight today?

(The Globe is less fuel-efficient than the blow it fired on the Pugmarion....)

Whatever you say, let's just sweeten it up and lie still.

I am physically, but I am mentally tired.

Vale's magician tells me he closed his eyes.

"Thank you for fighting. - Then I'm sorry."

"Apologize for what?

"I've made you a lot more indifferent. I knew the white kid was strong, but I didn't think he was."

Are you saying it was stronger than this guy imagined?

Or maybe it meant that I was weaker than this guy expected.

"Did I help you?

"Yes, very much. But..."

Mr Marhelito talks.

My eyes were also closed and I couldn't see my expression when I opened them, but it seemed somehow troublesome and I felt sorry for the tone.

"That kid - no, he's gone to the back yard."

"What do you mean?

It was Philomena, not the wand sorcerer, who answered.

"I couldn't get rid of that child completely."

…………

My request.

And in the first place, the main thing was to let the white one be chosen from the village daughter's recent apprenticeship.

You think you couldn't do that?

Philomena continued.

"The Okuin knew what that child could do, so even if he lost, he was trying to gain the authority to walk freely through the palace as a court sorcerer apprentice and a keepsake of the Okuin."

She's not here with the village daughter. But we're always in a position to get close.

Is that so?

――

I suddenly remembered.

What did he say when he first met Pugmarion?

"I'll tell you something special. This whole thing is bullshit. Whether you win or lose, the result is almost the same."

I'm sure you said that.

I mean, is that what this is about?

Whether you win or lose, 'This Future' does not move.

For him, it was nothing but fun.

Was my fight in vain? [M]

"That's not true."

Marhelito says, stroking my head.

"This (...) is only the result of walking around. You certainly protected His Highness Sheila from that child."

…………

I hope that's what this guy says.

However, even if I grasped the strength of the Pugmarion, it was an Okuin where I was hitting on the assumption of "when I lost".

Could it be reassuring just to kick him out of his recent seat?

"It's okay. Alto Cranput. With you, Your Highness will be healthy. That's what I feel."

I'm much less capable of fighting, I have no political influence. Can I do that?

"--This is my intuition. But I'm sure it will. I think you will be an imperative for His Highness."

…………

I couldn't answer right away.

I can't help but think of the 'reward' that this Vale sorcerer is trying to give me.

By the way, Alto.

Philomena talks to me after a while.

"What is it, Philomena?"

"What the hell was that white kid capable of? And how did you break it?

"Ah, is that it?"

Instead of breaking it, it is a substitute for saying 'I won the bet'.

Anyway, I don't have the full story either.

"When PUGMARION 'moved', he always used magic. And it's not just about shooting. Behind and above, every time," I was distracted. "Is that what it takes to activate it, or is it just something you were doing at that moment and didn't want to be seen? I don't know if you're just kidding me. --However, I" trusted "him with a personality like eating him. If I were to use momentary movement, I would definitely use a different kind of magic first. Then, I fired ahead of the attack at the point where it would be coming. That's all."

"That's all, did you just read the nature of her magic twice!? No, how did you predict the 'point of appearance' in the first place!?"

"When it comes to points, it's not 'prediction'." Guidance. "

"Eh...? Induction...? What does that mean?"

"--Your original spelling, right?

Marhelito enters the conversation.

But that's right.

This man already understands my tactics, and perhaps the magic of Pugmarion.

"My technique - the globe wasn't shooting at the dark clouds. From the beginning, I intended to make it a" setup "for countering" movement ". Specifically, they flooded the martial arts stage or made ice scaffolding that would pierce their legs if they stepped on it. The point is, it restricted the way he walked."

"That magic has such a meaning... No, you've been thinking about it since the beginning...?

"But that was also a real bet. If he uses space magic, it's pointless to control the scaffolding."

Mr. Malhelit laughed at me.

"But you thought it was a bet, right? Wasn't it space magic, was it moving magic?

"Well, somehow..."

Somehow, it's a lie.

I've actually seen Abel use space magic.

In contrast, the magic of Pugmarion was somewhat different.

I just thought about it and came to the answer.

In addition, since our teacher's presence must be kept secret, I will not tell you about it.

"Finished. Alto, you really are a genius."

"Not at all. There's no such thing as a genius."

That's all you can do, keep your chest up and cloud.

My thoughts are nothing but an association and an act.

Perhaps Fi would have arrived at the answer sooner, with a different approach.

"- So, I'd like to ask Mr. Malhelit something, too.

"What is it?

"You know the magic that Pugmarion used? Or we're getting to the answer."

"... why do you think so?

It's just Kang, isn't it?

That's what I said, but Kang is a lie.

I'm not a very sharp type myself.

But I know something.

This man was hardly surprised during the game, and still is.

I mean, you know the answer, or you're in a position to get there.

"You're such a smart kid. It's like I'm talking to Sheila."

I don't want to be with such a genius.

Philomena shouted.

"Oh, really...!? Does Malhelit really know what it is!?"

"It's a little different from 'I know'. Knowledge itself was a premise, but I wasn't sure until I saw his game."

It was knowledge...

Does that mean that it is a technology that existed before sacred history, such as ancient magic and soul life magic?

"That's probably the ability to 'swim downstream'. As far as I know, there is no record in the history of magic teaching, and it is Shinto magic, which is said to have been in the beginning world - the" season of life "- written as" technology of the past "in the phantom history."

Shinto Magic!

You're like a soul life artist!

"Dear Margherite, what the hell is that...!?"

"If you understand the misunderstanding and say it roughly, you can say that it's close to time trick."

"Time Magic!? Is that the ability to interfere at times!?"

"It does not manipulate the flow of time. But as a result, it's the ability to get closer."

"... specifically?

"I have heard that it is the ability to walk in the 'immovable world', just as time has stopped, only if the consciousness of all those present is not right for me." How far can you travel? How far is it valid? Everything was a mystery because there was no one to use it - "

"You think I've been able to deduce a little from the counter?

"Yes, it's a matter of the range of interference."

If this man's hypothesis is correct, what distracted us was that it was a prerequisite for activation.

When she opened one of her eyes, Philomena had a pale face.

"How do I deal with such disruptive abilities?!? No, but I can prevent activation if my consciousness is right -"

It won't be that easy.

It will definitely be troublesome to use it if your consciousness is slightly interrupted.

For example, what if he uses attack magic on you while you're with my family?

You'll forget the triggering conditions of "downstream swimming" for just a moment and turn your attention to your family.

(Ah, it's really like him, isn't it a nasty sorcery...!

I can't believe it's easier to activate someone close to you.

Besides, he must have other hands.

That's why I can afford to stay anywhere.

"The trouble with 'knowledge downstream swimming' is that it probably also triggers those with 'time resistance'. Even so, unless you are a Shinto dragon, such as" time magic resistance ", you will not possess it."

If it's resistant, Abel and Lutiel have it too - you don't have to tell them.

Philomena said with a trembling voice.

"Well then.... Who the hell is that kid?!? With extraordinary magic and combat abilities, I can't believe he even used Shinto magic...!

"Knowing that will be our battle in the future. Stay away from His Highness Sheila for the time being. We have to concentrate on that."

The magician of Vale tied it together.

This guy can't eat without telling me.

He hit me with a pug marion, probably with the intention of exploring my abilities.

(Speaking of which, were you told not to turn this person into an enemy....)

A magician who is familiar with the magic of the gods that is not even familiar to court magicians.

I'm sure this guy is on the side of the bucket too.

I wonder how much of a two-sided player you'll be fighting after this?

I exhaled and closed my eyes again.
