Vol 3 Chapter 68

Chapter 68

I had a hard time.

“The Walford Company is amazing…!”(Alice)

“Uh-oh! s.h.i.+n is becoming more and more rich as time goes by.”(Sieg)

“Your Highness! Well, I agree. It’s amazing considering that you’re the same age as us.”(Thor)

“Hungh! Alright! Because some products are still under development, the profits will only continue to increase.”(August)

This conversation is strange because we’re conversing while playing magic volleyball.

The conversation ended up being about the Walford Company that opened recently because Alice bought the jet boots through her father’s discount.

By the way, the cost for everyone paid for their combat gear at a discounted price, of course, the reason being that they feel guilty when wearing the gear without paying for it.

It’s a genuine compromise.

After Alice purchased jet boots, she was very eager to try them out. As a result, we decided on a fairly casual game of magic volleyball.

Professor Alfred gave us permission because we use chantless magic, and it counts as magic practice as a result.

Oh, Mr. Alfred is watching the game from the courtside with his mouth agape.

I think this is a great educational opportunity, so why don’t we incorporate magic practice into it?

“Hey! We decided beforehand we’ll be using jet boots!”(Alice)

“Fu… Using helpful tools can be called a strategy.”(August)

Gus is saying some strange things.

Is this volleyball?

Before I knew it, everyone was motivated to win.

“Mu-! I’ll get it next time! Olivia, could you raise the toss higher next time?”(Alice)

“Even more?”(Olivia)

“Yes! Even higher please!”(Alice)

The game resumed in accordance to Alice’s shout.

Tony utilised a super high angle/high speed jump with body strengthening and slammed the ball to Team Alice’s court.

“Ah! It’s sly to use it this early!”(Alice)

“I got it!”(Julius)

Julius makes a nice receive by following the trajectory.

“Nice, Julius! Come on Olivia!”(Alice)

“Here it comes! Alice!”(Olivia)

Olivia performed a toss that is unimaginably high for volleyball players in my previous life.

“I was waiting for this!”(Alice)

Alice finally launched her jet boots and jumped at the highest speed possible.

“Oohaa!”(Alice)

Alice’s attack pierced the court of Team Gus without anyone on Gus’ team reacting… I couldn’t react either.

“I did it! How about that your Highness! You couldn’t get that one could you?”Alice)

“Oh… In no way did I think that you would have come up with such an indecent strategy…”(August)

“That was honestly unexpected…”(Olivia)

“Well, that was a sight for sore eyes.”(Tony)

“A sight for sore eyes?”(Alice)

Only Alice has a puzzled expression.

Right now, we’re doing magic practice… The magic practices are done in our battle uniforms…

There were a couple of glances a little while ago, but this time…

“Alice, it… it’s a cat, right?”(August)

“A cat…? Ah!”(Alice)

It seems she finally noticed.

Alice held down the skirt of the uniform and turned beet red.

The girl’s uniform is a skirt, so when you jump that high…

“Alice… It was in plain view…”(Rin)

“Well… Her panties were cute, so isn’t it ok?”(Yuri)

“Yuri, your untactfu

l support will end up conversely hurting her feelings.”(August)

“Ginyaaaaaaah!”(Alice)

Alice has cats on her panties…

“s.h.i.+n, what about you?”(Sicily)

“What is it? Sicily.”(s.h.i.+n)

“…Did you enjoy seeing Alice’s underwear?”(Sicily)

“No! I saw it by accident…”(s.h.i.+n)

“Fufufu…”(Sicily)

“It wasn’t on purpose! It wasn’t on purpose!”(s.h.i.+n)

I used the remaining time to calm Alice who was timidly hiding in the corner of the practice field, while Sicily was wearing a scary smile with a piercing stare.

I don’t know if this one is supposed to be here or not.

“Ha… How far have you come since the summer holidays… I guess there’s no meaning for you to attend the Magic Academy anymore.”(Alfred)

“Is that so? Don’t you think that studying is important?”(s.h.i.+n)

Really, we should be going to the Academy to continue studying.

“Joint training with the Knight Academy will be resumed soon… But what will you guys do? Is there any point to it?”(Alfred)

“Oh, there’s something I’d like to do in the meantime.”(s.h.i.+n)

“What do you want to do? “(Rin)

“We’ll also partic.i.p.ate in thinning out the demons… But… I want to partic.i.p.ate alone,  separately from the Knight Academy…”(s.h.i.+n)

“That’s fine, but… Can I ask why?”(Alfred)

“Before this, a group of demons attacked us while we were returning from the Tri-Power Talks. At that time I hunted without dropping the value of the materials, but everyone was struggling quite a bit… I think that if we hunt properly it would be good for precise magic practice”(s.h.i.+n)

That was a good exercise for everyone. I was planning to incorporate it by all means.

I thought it was a good idea, but Professor Alfred was holding down his brow.

Why?

“Hunting without losing the value of demon materials… Is how a veteran hunter thinks. Have you reached that level already?”(Alfred)

“Well… Everyone here can hunt disaster cla.s.ses already. However, they only push with force so I want them to learn a bit more precision.”(s.h.i.+n)

If they can do precise magic control, it may be possible to hide magical power, approach the demons, and surround them to prevent them from escaping this time.

I think that the variety of attacks will expand and I think that’s a good thing.

“…Well, the primary goal of this training is to build up a smooth collaboration between the knights and the wizards. It’s unnecessary for you who can fight by yourselves…”(Alfred)

“It’s because our target is a devil.”(s.h.i.+n)

It was decided, during the joint training of the Magic Academy and the Knights Academy, we had to train our precision through demon hunting.

“Oh! s.h.i.+n, thank you so much for this!”(Sieg)

“Life with a toilet with a was.h.i.+ng function… It seems like a dream.”(Chris)

“The refrigerator I bought with it is also useful.”(Sieg)

“For ordinary people who cannot control magic as well as a wizard, it’s nigh impossible to make that much icy water. How did you do it?”(Chris)

Joint training is a part of cla.s.s, so even if we have different plans, we still gather at the same meeting place… But everybody is just looking at us and no one will approach us. Even the Knights and people of the magic division.

Meanwhile, Sieg and Chris are talking to us like normal. The topic was about the magic tool purchased before.

“That’s not such a big deal. For the refrigerator, as long as there’s a magic stone it can keep it cold all the time…”(s.h.i.+n)

In fact, my refrigerator has already been modified to that type. The maids are praising it for being so convenient.

“Manastones… It’s still under investigation…”(Sieg)

“What’s the progress?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Several people have deployed from the Knights. It would seem that we’ve uncovered the place from s.h.i.+n’s report.”(Sieg)

Then big bro Sieg lowered his voice.

“…It seems they’re appearing sporadically.”(Sieg)

“I see.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Even so… As soon as s.h.i.+n appeared in the world it’s been one thing after another…”(Sieg)

“He was out of the ordinary even while I was in the forest. But to think he would’ve became this famous and brilliant…”(Chris)

“Both of you knew s.h.i.+n when he was a child? What kind of child was he?”(Sicily)

When Sieg began talking about myself when I was living in the forest, Sicily, who should have already heard this story, asked the two of them.

Did you want to hear the story from the viewpoint of these two as well?

“We were promoted to become his majesty’s bodyguards four to five years ago, so we don’t know about before that but…”(Sieg)

“I was so surprised when I first met you…”(Chris)

“He carried a super huge bear on his shoulder.”(Sieg)

I see. I took down a huge demonized bear, and I was so proud of it that I wanted to brag to Grandma and Grandpa, so I took it back on my back.

“A big bear suddenly emerged between the trees, so we took our stances.”(Chris)

“At the time… You were 10 years old. Because s.h.i.+n was still small, we couldn’t see him because he was hidden by the huge body of the bear.”(Sieg)

Sieg and Chris spoke nostalgically. Everyone that heard that…

“…It would be more surprising if it was something ordinary…”(August)

“I’m convinced just because it’s s.h.i.+n we’re talking about!”(Alice)

Can’t you be a bit more surprised? You all.

“Ha ha! You took it pretty well.”(Sieg)

“I was worried if such an extraordinary kid could make friends with kids his age… It seems my fears were irrational.”(Chris)

“Hey, stop that…”(s.h.i.+n)

They are the two people that are always looking after me. After knowing that I can call someone a friend, they are gleeful and cheerfully stroking my head.

I’m ashamed of having something like that done to me at my age, but… But I couldn’t move their happy hands… As they were doing it… everyone’s warm gaze is…

“Fufu, the two of you love s.h.i.+n a lot.”(Sicily)

“Oh, this.”(Sieg)

“Yeah we don’t know what to do with this child.”(Chris)

“Am I that much of a handful?”(s.h.i.+n)

“What are you talking about!? If I took my eyes off of you for a second you’d disappear somewhere immediately.”(Chris)

“And he would come back all b.l.o.o.d.y.”(Sieg)

“b.l.o.o.d.y!?”(Sicily)

Sicily gives me a worried gaze in response to Sieg’s careless remark.

“We thought something was wrong too.”(Sieg)

“It seems that he failed to kill the prey and he got its blood on him…”(Chris)

“Ah, so it was something like that.”(Sicily)

“Hey, that’s… not!”(s.h.i.+n)

“It’s true! Do you know how worried we were?!”(Chris)

“Sorry…”(s.h.i.+n)

I remember there being something like that. Sieg and Chris both got angry and yelled at me.

“Besides, I gave you a lot of trouble.”(s.h.i.+n)

“When I was at the Magi’s house, I was more worried about s.h.i.+n than guarding his majesty.”(Sieg)

Well, that was the case… Because I was a child, my concentration was weak, so I didn’t worry about my surroundings…

“To be honest, I was worried. I wondered if there was anyone who could become friends with such a unique child?”(Chris)

“To think he has made this many friends… Thank you very much everyone.”(Sieg)
