"You are using magic so well in such a low density, you are amazing."
"Really? You aren't joking, aren't you?"
"Absolutely not. If anyone here sees you, they'll never say that you are using magic for the first time."
That fairy was teaching magic to Sarah and was also praising Sarah. Sarah is talented since childhood, completely different from me. Come to think of it, I'm jealous of talented people. Those people have a lot of potential, but they are so stupid that they think that their growth is limited.
There was something written on the ground below, maybe those were magic spells. It was written in some other language which I was not able to understand. I did not pay attention.
Both of them looked at me.
"Welcome back. You know, I have learnt to do magic." Sarah said cheerfully
"Right now you have only learnt to do fire magic, you have a lot to learn in future." The fairy said.
"Sarah can you tell me how you learnt to do magic? Silph has already helped us a lot, so I do not want to trouble her further." I asked her
I think it would be easier for me to learn magic from Sarah.
──*Growl*.
Is it the so-called sound from a belly.
(...Err)
Currently, there are only three people here. I have no recollection and this fairy is too small for that that sound, which means just now that sound,
"...Sarah──" I said, looking at her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Eh?"
"I didn't hear anything. Leon, you must be hearing things." Sarah said quickly while avoiding eye contact with me.
However, that gaze was swimming unnaturally with sweat floating on her forehead.
...That means.
(...Is it better for me for me to remain silent at a time like this....?)
"Don't worry Leon, I'll do something for your hunger." Silph said.
She knows whose belly sound it was but still she called my name. I don't have any problem with this, I don't know why girls pay so much attention to such useless things.
Silph plucked many fruits with her wind magic, this sight was amazing. I had seen such things only in movies, I was seeing such things happening for the first time with my eyes. I also want to learn magic as soon as possible.
I am not as talented as Sarah, I have good memory because I use memory tricks like flash cards, mnemonics, memory palace etc.
If using magic was just about memorizing spells, I don't think I would have any problem, but if it was more than that, I don't know if I would be able to perform magic properly or not.
A lot of things were going on in my mind, but right now I don't have time to think about unnecessary things.
"Okay bye, I have to go." Silph said.
"Won't you stay with us?" Sarah asked
"I can't stay here any longer, I have to go home. We fairies cannot tell anyone where our village is, so you two will have to spend the night alone here tonight." Silph said
"I hope there are no strong monsters here."
"Strong monsters can't come here but for your satisfaction I will create a barrier." Silph said
"Claustrum magicae figurae circuli cum radio quinquaginta metrorum cum potentia centum. Apparent."
As soon as she said the last word, a huge magic circle appeared.
This is the first time I am hearing a magic spell in this world. It is very different from the magic I know, that is, magic in anime. But when Silph used wind magic, why did she not have to chant? Is it because wind magic is her specialty?
"By the way, you are going to come in the morning, right?" I asked
"Yes, of course."
She left after saying this. Now, only the two of us were alone here.
"Can you tell me what that fairy, I mean Silph taught you about magic?"
I don't know whether she has left from here or not, it is possible that she is still here and if I say anything bad about her, she might even become my enemy. I will have to pretend to be good until I get to know about this world properly.
"If you want to learn magic so much that you want to learn magic without eating anything after coming back from there, then why didn't you stay here first?"
"Because I had some work to do. Also, I wanted to learn from you. What do you think, in how much time you can teach me all the magic you learned?"
"Well... it depends on person but since you are 'Leon', it may take you just 30 minutes."
"Really?" I said excitedly
"Yes why not. Sylph also told me a lot of unnecessary things which I don't think will be of any use to you. And as much as I know you, it will be very easy for you to learn it."
She is overestimating me.
"Alright, so what's the first thing I have to learn?" I asked
"Later please? I am getting crazy with the constant learning of magic. My MP is very low, after some rest it will recover to some extent and after that I can teach you."
It seems that Sarah is very hungry.
We both ate fruits. The taste of fruits was a bit different, but any food will do for me as long as my stomach is getting filled.
20 minutes later
"Hey Leon." She said
"....Hmm..?"
"How about we learn magic in the morning?"
She came close to me
"If you don't want to teach me magic, that's okay."
"It's not like that."
Her voice humbly cuts in.
"I thought since we are alone we should talk a little bit." She further added
"..."
"Hey, can I lay down on your lap?" She asked
I didn't have much interactions with girls so I'm not sure, but, shouldn't it be the other way around?
Wait, am I seeing things?
"...Sarah...Are you crying?"
