Life with my Little Sister

(Well.... What should I do with this' Gate in the Tree '...?

Should we let Michemon know or let the Elves reclaim it secretly?

Either way, there's no point in stopping this.

(If you interfere with the roots, can you stop it immediately?)

It's what I do in Cyril once.

"Mmm... Al...."

"Yeah? Mill, what's wrong?

"Mmm... That" gate "... I think it's better for you to touch me first...?

"To Clara?

"- Huh? The gate? Where are the gates...!?"

My granddaughter was confused, but I was also confused.

'Cause this is obviously dangerous stuff, right?

Is it good to let Clara touch you?

If this is me, I can interfere with the roots and use the Magic Wall.

In other words, there should be a higher probability of safety...

"Mill, why did you think Clara should touch this first?

"Hmm...? You don't want me to ask you that...? Nakamaru...? Daimaru...?

Um...

It was Powako-sama, wasn't it?

Mr Ahokainen, my grandson from the woven shop pulled the sleeves of my clothes while silently looking at the daughter of the house.

"Ah, um... Alto..."

Yeah? What's up, Clara?

"That's right... I don't know what the hell is going on, but if you want me to touch that tree, I'll touch it...."

Your eyes are straight.

My granddaughter seems to believe me too much.

It's kind of a heavy responsibility...

But like this girl believes in me, I trust Powa-chan, too.

If Mill says it's better for Clara to touch me, I'll believe it too.

That's why I said it.

"That's right... Clara, can you touch that young tree? Just be gentle. Careful?

"Ha, yes, Mr. Alto...."

My granddaughter reached out from my arms.

I can't put this girl in danger because she believed me, so I'll be vigilant.

Eventually, her fine white fingers touched her pale wooden skin.

- At that moment.

"Eh...!?"

"Is this...!?"

As if they were droplets falling on the water.

The young tree swayed as if the ripples were spreading, spreading in a circle from the part touched by the Third Princess.

(What is this...? What's the situation...?

Nothing happened when I touched it earlier.

Even when I cast my magic.

Why is this happening?

What the hell is this?

I look back at Powako, who is the Proponent.

There it is.

――――

The appearance of the Powako Daimyojin, whose mouth is half-opened and dazed.

"... muuuhn, face demon... Something strange...? Al...? Mill...? Feel...?

She didn't seem to understand at all.

Then there's nothing more I can do than investigate myself...

(What is this "sway"...? The tree itself doesn't seem to be distorted.)

It's not a vision, it's not a kind of illusion.

If you touch it, it's just a tree.

The sway has already disappeared.

(But when I say 'root interference', I still know it's a 'special space'....)

Only under certain conditions can you see what this (...) is.

So, if there is, what's Clara got to say?

…………

Think for a moment and look at the Royal Toddler in her arms.

"Ah, you know, when you stare at me like that..."

"Oh, I'm sorry.... Clara, can you touch this one more time?

"Ha, yes... So what do you think?

Touch it.

Arrow and wave.

(Yeah, I knew it.)

The distortion is' space '.

I touched the moment the young tree was shaking.

There was a great disturbance in the magic.

This "disturbance" will cause a ripple.

Clara is said to have no "magic".

That's probably true.

That's why she's not the user of "magic in space", just like the Shorcina Chamber of Commerce No. 2.

The shaking of the young tree is probably another cause.

If you think about it, it's...

(I wanted to ask you a little bit about Treasure Sword, but it would be terrible to ask this girl who is in a rough spot because of it.)

I have no choice but to take another chance.

I just got one hypothesis.

-Then what? -Yeah.

At that time, I detected two abnormalities.

Both come from within the Gate.

Both are bad.

But what is imminent is...

"I'm flying!

"Eh!?"

It was convenient for both of us to get caught up in the body.

Build multiple magic walls on the front while jumping backwards with all your might.

At the same time, it feels like Zushin.

A shock as if your feet were shaking just for a moment.

My magic walls vanished one after the other in an instant, jumping backwards and adding extra magic walls along the way, but I managed to avoid damage.

"Hey, what the hell was that?!? After shaking, that tree disappeared...!?"

…………

I sweated unexpectedly.

(That was the destruction of space....!

Yes, the space is broken.

Instead of disorder, it's "inside."

Is it that wood-like alien space, or the Gate?

A counter against magical interference or a perceived structure.

How many times did you simply access it?

Instead of going to the "outside" where we are, there must have been a mechanism in place to destroy the "gate" and destroy it in a different space.

Space elsewhere.

Even though the energy of destruction was directed inwards, there was also a small destruction on our side.

Perhaps if I hadn't jumped, my body would have fallen apart in an instant.

(Was the lack of 'destruction' an harassment to catch the 'prey'? For example, the group trying to analyze was trying to blow up roots in the middle of the research.)

You may think too much, but if you do, it's a pretty horrible story.

When I first interfered with the roots, nothing happened.

…………

There is nothing left at the point where the trees were found.

Traces of destruction were also small, and since this was a backyard that was not popular, there was no noticeable damage.

With this, no one will know that there was an extremely small space-time earthquake.

(But the destructive power was real.....)

For example, it wasn't the "waterfall" itself, it was just a drop of droplets.

Still, the Magic Wall was almost pointless.

A massive space-time earthquake would destroy the world.

- Hello?

If Mill hadn't told me to "let Clara touch you,"

Maybe I was trying to stop the magic equipment, or someone who later retrieved the Gate, was blowing it up.

(Powako saved my life....)

After all, this girl is an amazing girl.

"... hmm? What was that...? Suddenly the tree disappeared....? Bugs are also missing....."

Even if you didn't understand what happened.

(But not now)

"One more thing" I felt at that time.

That's the other side - Michaelmon is on the other side of the plane.

That thing was on.

Probably just like Cyril, for suicide bombing.

(If we don't hurry to stop it, it will be a big deal!

As with the young trees, there may be some bad traps there.

Even if we put that in the accounts, if we don't stop the explosion of the Gate, it will be catastrophic.

Buzz, even if I try my best to escape, I could still be within range of the disaster.

Then it would be safer to tell him to stop, and he would be sure.

If only I could interfere with the roots.

"We're both moving! Quite a bit, so don't bite your tongue!?"

"Eh, eh? Where are you going...?!

"Hmm...? I'm going looking for Bugs....? Or are you with the wolfglass...?

I don't have time to answer individually.

I don't even have time to let these kids go.

That's why I ran.

I was there a while ago, to that place.
