[Apparently I was the Suspect of the Mysterious Explosion Sound]

“So, yesterday, I ended up practicing magic with Noelia. But it didn’t work well. I wonder why is it so troublesome to adjust the power?”

I’m receiving the reward for the parts I turn in yesterday, and watching today’s requests while chatting with Rebecca about the matter from yesterday.

If it’s in the royal capital with it’s many people, the counter is a place where you can’t sit for a long time because it’s so crowded, but for some reason, when the adventurers of this city see me, they’ll give up their turn, really, there are many kind-hearted people here, and soon after coming, I was sitting at Rebecca’s counter.

“I thought about it when I was listening to the story. I thinkーno way!ー , but the mysterious explosion sound that was heard yesterday, wasn’t it the sound of Frick-sama and co practicing magic?”

“Mysterious explosion sound? No, I was practicing the basic (Fire Arrow). Certainly, it may have exploded, though.”

“I think it’s unusual to have an explosion when practicing (Fire Arrow).”

“No way! Frick-san can’t be the culprit, right?” Rebecca’s expression seems to be saying that.

Eh? Is that mysterious explosion sound my fault? I thought there was no problem because we were far away from the city.

“As Noelia said, it seems that my (Fire Arrow) is at the same class as End of Light 《Megiddo Explosion》, but the explosion sound should not be able to be heard until that far.”

The adventurers who heard that it was the same class as End of Light 《Megiddo Explosion》, moved away from me at once.

“Oi, as expected it was Frick. Moreover, End of Light 《Megiddo Explosion》 is an advanced-level magic, right.”

“If it’s an advanced-level fire magic, the range of explosion and shockwave will be on a whole different level y’know.”

“Because he made Noelia-sama unconscious, I thought he was a really powerful person, but… to continuously firing advanced-level magic, even I don’t dare to be calm.”

“He said he is a swordsman, but isn’t he a great mage. I’m glad I didn’t piss off the new guy.”

It came to my attention that the adventurers around me said that I was a mage.

No, I just can’t control it…

I mean. Perhaps the reason when I came in, everyone give me their position in line, maybe because they were terrified and gave up?

When I sent a glance at the surrounding adventurers, everyone took a step back.

They are really terrified.

The matter of Magic Power Synchronization with Noelia is an accident, and the explosion sound yesterday wasn’t intentional.

“After all, it really was Frick-sama’s doing” Rebecca’s face also seems to be saying that.

“The culprit of the mysterious explosion sound was Frick-sama. Everyone, please rest assured. There will be a proper explanation from the Adventurer’s Guild.”

When Rebecca said that, the surrounding adventurers sighed in relief.

“By some chance, am I not allowed to practice magic?

“No, that’s okay. But, it’ll be helpful if you contact the Adventurer’s Guild in advance if you want to use magic that falls under the category of large scale magic.”

Large scale magic… I was going to practice elementary magic though…

Is that classified as large scale magic…?

“That’s not necessary. Noelia Henestrosa will cover all the damage caused by Frick-sama’s use of magic. And there is also a letter from my father here.”

The voice coming from the back was from Noelia, who was carrying a sword.

She presented a letter with wax seals on parchment before Rebecca.

“…understood. I’ll be hearing the decision of the Guild Master soon, so please wait.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

After saying that, Rebecca then disappeared into the back of the counter with the letter from Noelia.

Then, Noelia came in front of me, then she presented the sword she had in her hand.

“This is a sharp sword chosen from my father’s collection. Please take it as a reward for yesterday’s help.”

The sword she had in her hand was so well made and polished that it seemed like an excellent sword even at first glance.

It was a good sword that could compete with the sword bought by Alfine for me when I was an adventurer in the royal capital.

Although I helped, this sword is too extravagance to receive as a reward.

Besides, since I started to adjusted to the life in frontier with great pains, I want to use the sword that I got from my own income.

“Aー, sorry, but that’s okay. Since I have my own sword, so I’m fine.”

“!?”

When I refused to accept the sword, Noelia’s expression changed to a flustered one.

She looked at she sword she was holding out, and her expression became stiff.

“Do you not like it?”

“No, it’s not like that. I’m thinking of getting a partner to entrust my life with using my own money. I’ll appreciate the feelings.”

“If it’s like that I will be troubled. If you don’t receive a reward for saving my life, the prestige of the Henestrosa family will be affected.”

Although her voice is monotonous as usual, I can see that her facial expression seems to be very troubled.

Hmm, it seems like she is troubled, maybe I should ask for something other than a sword, huh.

Oh, that’s right! If asked her to help me with magic practice, will she give me a hand?

I can’t adjust the power yet, but since I found I can use it, I want to see and learn various magic.

She, who was nicknamed as Infinite Mage, seems to know various magics, and there may be magics that improve sword skills.

“If it’s okay with Noelia, rather than a sword would you be my magic practice instructor? Now that I know I can use it, I want to be able to handle it well. I have lived only with a sword, so I may not be as good in magic. But can you teach me?”

At my proposal, Noelia’s eyes became dots.

Maybe it was too greedy of me to ask her to teach me magic.

Maybe as a daughter of the frontier count and as a platinum rank adventurer, she is busy with various things.

The moment I thought so一

Noelia throws away the sword, then grasp my hand tightly.

“I’ll gladly accept it. I’m fine with that condition. I will teach Frick-sama the basics of magic completely. Now that we had an agreement, to teach Frick-sama properly by all means, on first day-today let’s go to the outskirts to practice magic.”

Noelia, who had her eyes sparkling, pulled my hand as if she wants to start the magic practice immediately.

I managed to earn a living cost for a while by subjugating monsters for a week, so it’s okay if I spend a day practicing magic with her.

I don’t think I will improve suddenly, but magic is the same as sword in the way that practice is necessary.

“Okay, when Rebecca returns, let’s get permission and go to practice.”

“It’s fine. We don’t need permission. But, just to make sure, let’s go.”

Noelia smiled and nodded.

When Rebecca returned, we received a report from the Guild Master that it was not necessary to apply for permission to use large scale magic, so we decided to move to the outskirts and practice magic.
