「Al! You can't use magic to climb the stairs!?」
Haru ran up to me and said that as soon as I got off the rock.
「Hm? You said that I have to climb with my own strength, didn't you? Magic is also considered my own strength, you know」
Haru never once said that I have to walk up here yesterday. She only said that I have to climb the stairs by myself. And so, I can climb the stairs to the top using magic since it's my own strength. It's unwarranted to complain about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Tha, that's true but I feel like there is something wrong with that!」
I climbed the stairs without using my physical strength. Anyway, I was simply doing that.
「There was a magic to float in the sky」
Roomba asked me, perhaps he was interested in my magic.
「No, there are none. This is just the non-attributed magic Psychic that I used to make the rock floated and moved in mid-air, as I rode on it」
Unfortunately, there is no magic that makes people fly in the sky. If there is magic that lets people fly in the sky, then I would like to learn it immediately. There might be magic to let people fly in ancient times, just like what Kami-sama said before.
「Naa! So you're saying you climb this far by riding something that was lifted with Psychic magic!? I can also use Psychic magic, but I never thought of using it that way」
「Ohー, so Haru can also use non-attribute magic, huh. Then, Haru will also be able to float in mid-air like me then」
「Re, really? I also have some confidence in my magic, but I'm worried about doing that kind of delicate control in magic like yours, y'know?」
「Hm? You just use Psychic magic while sitting on top of an inanimate object, right?」
You move the object you rode on by permeating it with your magic power. So I don't think it's that difficult? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
When I'm puzzled by that, Roomba opened his mouth.
「Al might say something like Psychic magic is a simple magic, but I think it's actually a difficult magic to control, y'see? I only heard about it from my magician's friend, but to begin with, permeating your magic power into some object itself is difficult, right?」
「Really?」
When I look at Haru, she nodded repeatedly as she agrees with what Roomba said.
「I also thought so about the permeating your magic power into an object, but most importantly maintaining it is more difficult! In my case, I used a smaller object and I can only move it for a few seconds」
「I'm not that good with magic, but I think you did a good job to be able to reach this height while lifting it with good fine control. And most importantly, it would be terrible if you made a mistake in controlling it and fall from there, right. Al is unexpectedly brave despite your absentminded look 」
Shuichi's impressed remark made me realize that it was indeed dangerous.
But I can use Teleport from Space magic to change place in times of emergency. Suppose that I made a mistake and even if I fall, then it will just become a situation of me using Teleport to run away.
However, it appears that Shuichi and the others thought that I'm a brave person since they don't know about that. It's an unexpected misunderstanding but, I can't dispel their misunderstanding either.
「That absentminded look is unnecessary. But, when you talk about Psychic magic, it's the most used magic in the world, right? I'm used to it and I think that it's not that difficult to control」
「Yes? What do you mean by that Al?」
「It's a magic which has the most chance to be used in our daily life, using it to pick up some things and cleaning stuff far away from you is a matter of course, you can also use it to open the door or locking it with a key, right? So, I think people who can use Psychic magic are used to it......」
But for some reason, everyone seems to look at me with amazement when I explain it to Haru and the others - who are knitting their eyebrows. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
...what the, it's the kind of look you pointed to some worthless person.
「...weird. Al is really weird. Normally you don't use magic to such lengths, right!?」
「Speaking of being idle, that's right, so you should follow Al's example to adopt and train magic in your daily lives in a sense, I guess?」
There is a lot of magic in this world. What are you going to do with all of that that if not for living a comfortable life?
That Shuichi is a bit overthinking things. It's important to spoil yourself. You only need to think about it a bit.
「If it were that much, it would be easier to use your own hand, isn't it?」
「No, no, you don't understand! This is the magic's greatness! You can pick up things a distance away from you even while you're still lying down and without getting up, see? So that's why you use Psychic magic!」
「O, ooh? Is that so?」
Haru replied, despite pulling back from me a little as she listened to my heated reasoning.
That is so. Like, 'Ah, I want to drink that over there, but I'm still lying down like this. 'I want to eat those sweets'. How wonderful it is to be able to resolve those kinds of dilemmas easily.
If I had the time, I would really like to tell her about how wonderful that feeling is.
「So that means if I start using Psychic magic habitually just like Al said, then I can also eventually float in mid-air?」
「That's right」
「Really! Then, I also want to practice using that magic and be able to float in mid-air!」
Haru said with her eyes shining brightly when I nodded to her.
Fufufu, so it seems that Haru has also realized the charm of Psychic magic, huh?
「It's a magic that will even let you realize the dream of flying in the sky if you set your mind into using Psychic magic. If you practice it from now on then I'm sure you can do it」
「I'll do it Al! I also want to float in mid-air! I want to fly and travel in the sky of Kagura!」
「Yo, you can't do that Haru-sama! That's such dangerous magic!」
When Haru is talking with eyes full of hope, the man behind her shouts as if to cut her off.
When I turn my sight to look at them, there are two men who are wearing similar Kagura-style clothes like Kaede-san standing there. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It has a slight difference in design from what Kaede-san was wearing, they are wearing dull green and light blue clothes.
「Speaking of which, I've been wondering about it for some time now, are these two people Haru's guards?」
「That's right! I completely forgot about them because of the talk about magic! Listen, Al! I want to be like the Grandfather in the story and bring along two people who had the nickname of Suke-san and Kaku-san from the subordinate guards as my guards!」
O, ooh, it looks like the stories of Mito Kougane from yesterday have been well received and she was influenced by it.
But to bring along two people with the name of Suke-san and Kaku-san from among the subordinate guards is really.....
(Just to help you visualize the people)
「Hou, that's amazing. And what are your names?」
Their names are similar to the one back in Japan in my previous life.
When it comes to Mito Kogane's Sukesaburou, then it will be Suke-san over there. Then Kakunoshin would be, Kaku-san?
When I look at them with a gaze full of expectation, the man wearing dull green Kagura clothes sullenly stepped forward.
He's the person who cut into my conversation with Haru just now.
He has angular features, a sullen look on his face, and pursed lips as his characteristics. Rugged muscles and a large figure, giving the impression like that of a huge rock to others.
「Come on, introduce yourself!」
When Haru -who is standing beside him- urged him to introduce himself, the huge rock-like man opened his mouth while not trying to hide his displeasure.
「...Sukebee」1, 2
「...pervert? Ah, well, I don't know what to say if you suddenly said that to me, you know?」
What is this person saying? Coming out with such a sudden line while looking displeased like that.No matter how good I am at playing along, I will still be a little troubled to respond if someone were to say 'pervert' to me in our first meeting. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「What an amazing guy, instead of giving his own name, he's telling us his true nature. Now I'm convinced with the common saying that, the more serious they look, the more perverted they are.」
As I'm having trouble reacting, Roomba put his hand on his chin and said his extreme opinion.
I see! I've heard that dirty joke is a tool to have smooth communication with any person.
So in other words, this stern-looking man is giving us a dirty joke so suddenly because he wants to get along with us! Then I can understand his pervert coming out earlier with that reasoning.
It's somewhat sudden but, it makes sense when you think about it.
「I see. So you are a pervert, huh. So then, what is your name?」
「That's not it! I'm not saying that I'm a pervert!」
When I asked him again, the man reply while looking indignant.
No no, just now you said yourself that you are a pervert....like, a hentai sexual perversion, right? Though, if you deny and even if you got angry at it then I would really be troubled how to reply...
「You are a pervert...... like, hentai?」3
「No! Who's the hentai! Don't you hear it properly!」
Even Roomba asks him in spite of himself, but just like me, it was also denied by him.
If a pervert guy is not a hentai, then what is it?
When Roomba and I unintentionally look at each other, the pervert man cough-ed, he seems to have pulled himself together and speak after clearing his throat. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Listen carefully! I am Sukebee!」
「「So you are a pervert, after all」」
「That's not it!!」
