It was late in the morning.
Smart-
With the sound of knocking on the door, Saten’s voice was heard.
“Are you awake, mister?”
Once again and again.
Saten’s voice with a clear and blunt pronunciation.
Her body was not tired and she couldn’t sleep. She was awake.
What the hell did you come to see me at this dawn?
I answered briefly to Saten across the door.
“It’s cold in the hallway, so come in quickly.”
I have a cold.
As if Saten was waiting for her answer, she opened the door.
Kikki-
There was something in her hand.
“… Why did you bring the blanket and pillow, Saten?”
“I think I have something to write about.”
It’s something to write about…
Saten came with a pillow and blanket in her hands.
I don’t mean to have a pillow fight with me over that.
There must be only one option for Saten to make.
“Saten.”
“Yes.”
I am walking towards me…
No, I said to stop Saten walking towards my bed.
“Are you going to sleep here by any chance?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Problems.
If it’s a problem, there are so many that I’m speechless.
Although they are still children, it is impossible to sleep together unless the level of intimacy is very high.
Even if the subject is bound under the name of man and woman?
It’s more dangerous.
Even if I don’t have a heart, the eyes of others.
Is it interpreted differently in the eyes of Luna, Hare, and Estiya?
I answered gently to Saten, who was gradually approaching the bed.
“It is impossible to sleep together.”
“Why? I brought pillows and blankets like this. Are you saying you want to kick me out?”
Flutter-
In protest, Saten spread the blanket like a flying squirrel.
Looking at the slightly crooked expression on his face, he seemed dissatisfied.
“But it’s no good.”
“I was alone for three weeks without Mr. Can’t you even do this?”
“… Don’t fill that part with anything else. Go to your room and sleep.”
“No harm. I just sleep.”
Why are you so determined?
Saten acted as if she would never back down.
‘They suddenly came to me at dawn and tried to sleep together… What are you thinking… ?’
While I am away.
I will be compensated for that time at dawn.
Does this mean?
“The pillows and blankets are heavy, mister. Can I put it down?”
“No, think about it for a moment.”
But, as long as you accept Saten’s pampering.
I’ll have to take care of Luna and Hare, who wake up earlier than anyone else, with their bodies tied to these ropes.
Can I really do that with this body?
‘I didn’t take a nap because I had nothing to do… ‘
My alcohol was confiscated, so I stayed awake until dawn.
I never thought this would happen.
Saten asked me again.
“Well, I will sleep here today. Are you okay though?”
“… “
“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go back to my room. It’s been a while since I saw you, so I wanted to talk to you when we were alone and there were no interruptions. If that’s not allowed, I can’t help it.”
“Haa… “
… Can’t you do it
Suddenly, late in the morning, Saten came and asked for an unreasonable request.
Saten seemed to have a hard time without me, so she couldn’t coldly refuse an unreasonable request.
I faced Saten’s expressionless expression with 1% gloom.
“Yes, if the purpose is conversation… Sleep in my room today.”
“Thank you for your permission, mister.”
Saten lightly bowed her stiff head.
“Instead of that.”
“Yes?”
“I will sleep underneath. You sleep in your bed.”
“… Yes?”
Luna and I slept together in a tent.
And Hare witnessed it.
To prevent the situation from repeating itself, she had to come up with a compromise.
Saten hesitated at her answer, keeping her mouth shut, as if the compromise was not to her liking.
“… The floor must be cold.”
“It’s warm when you cover it with a blanket. Okay.”
“… The floor must be hard.”
“I like to sleep in a hard place.”
“… Then do it.”
On rare occasions.
Saten pouted and headed for her bed.
Should I say that it resembles the snout of a platypus rather than the snout of a duck?
She wasn’t very expressive, but she could clearly sense the emotions Saten was feeling for her.
‘That emotion should not turn black and rot, and grow beautifully… ‘
Can you move forward well without me?
I was a little worried about that part.
So I put Saten on the bed and I lay down on the floor.
The still air of dawn flowed into the room.
Saten spoke to me first, how emotional she is along today.
“Uncle.”
“Tell me.”
“Why are you up, Mister?”
“… I had nothing to do at lunch, so I took a nap, and I couldn’t sleep because the chicks took my alcohol.”
Sometimes tied up with a rope.
I showed Saten the rope and she looked down at me from the bed with her curious eyes.
“It is an unusual magic tool. Restricting the captive’s physical abilities. It’s nice because it’s versatile.”
“It’s good for completing adventurer requests, and it’s good for getting information from others.”
“Now. You are tied to such a competent magic tool.”
“… “
You’re stabbing a sore spot.
Saten put her arms on the edge of her bed and looked down at me.
“Is this your first time being tied to that magic tool?”
“… Why do you ask such a question?”
“You look so relaxed. If Hare stabs you with a dagger now, he will die.”
“… Hare never stabs people.”
What is the evaluation of Hare from within Saten?
She knows that the two of them are close friends at least.
Anyway.
She agreed to answer Saten’s questions she asked me.
“You just asked if this was your first time being chained to a magic tool?”
“Yes.”
“This is not the first time. You’ve been tied up before.”
The day Aina used it as an experiment material.
Even then she was tied to a rope.
She wasn’t dangerous enough to die, but she actually felt the fear that she might die. That was the first time she felt it.
“There was a time when I was directly hit by non-attribute magic and tied to a rope.”
“Consent… “
“Of course not.”
A forced experiment.
As a result, the experiment led to development of non-attribute magic.
It was easier to understand being beaten than trying it once.
When I later asked her why she had made this choice, Aina said, “I get stronger quickly.”
“Because you were tied up with a rope and beaten, you achieved the development of non-attribute magic. It’s a strange thing.”
“It was strange and painful.”
“In that case, mister. Can you do it for me too? If magic develops, it will be good for me and for you too.”
“M, what?”
Has Saten finally gone mad?
I was startled by Saten’s voice and got up from her floor.
It was hard to believe that Saten had just said that.
‘That proud saten will hit me with magic?’
This is nonsense.
However, everything Saten says is sincere.
Saten leaves scars on his own body rather than being hurt by others, and never allows the opponent to attack.
It felt a little strange that she was so passionate about her magic even while being hit.
With the one that came to me this late in the morning.
No way.
“Saten.”
“Yes, mister.”
“I’m asking just in case… “
Can you see the wall?
A wall of thick and high magic talent.
Saten has a high amount of mana and an excellent head.
Looking at the current situation…
“When the uncle is not around. She tried to pass the time by studying magic alone… “
A book of non-attribute magic that the old man gave you.
I can’t understand the last page at all.
Saten muttered indignantly biting her lips.
“Estiya sticks to her teacher and moves forward… Luna and Hare are also training… Because I think I’m the only one who’s stopped… It wasn’t easy… “
It was difficult without me.
Even the magic that has been with me throughout my life is blocked by a wall.
Emotions fluctuate.
In the end, did that firm saten collapse?
She is lying on the bed with an expressionless expression, but Saten looks gloomy as if she has fallen into a deep swamp somewhere.
From noble mtl dot com
‘There were times when I was quite blocked by a wall.’
Saten will be the first to reach her final page.
I was blocked by a wall about 4 times before that.
Non-attribute magic talent is a talent that can see the end of magic.
Finding someone with that talent is like looking for diamonds on a sandy beach.
However, the path Saten walked was the path I had already walked.
I decided to teach Saten, who was stuck in the wall, a new path for her.
“Saten, you said she was blocked by a wall, right?”
“… Yes, I can’t understand that last page at all.”
“If I tell you how to interpret it, then I must also explain everything behind it.”
The last page is for Saten to interpret on his own.
Because the importance of the last page connecting the end and the beginning is significant.
So.
I wiggled my hand toward the closet and pulled out my coat.
“Mister? What are you doing?”
Saten expressed her doubt at my sudden action.
If you head to the closet, the answer is of course fixed.
“Shall we go for a little walk?”
“At this late hour… A walk?”
It’s rather late, so it’s better.
Because this hikikomori wizard prefers the dawn when he can’t see the world clearly.
“If you are blocked by a wall, finding another way is a good way.”
To cool the brain.
Me and Saten sneaked out for a night walk late in the morning.
“It’s cold, hold my hand, Saten.”
“… Yes.”
It’s colder in the morning.
Is that why?
There was a slight blush on Saten’s expressionless cheeks.
