――――The 14th day of training.

「Zzz…」

「………」

When I woke up in the morning, there were two fruits that had ripened abundantly. They were pressed relentlessly against me, and I could feel their softness and comfortable warmth through the clothes. Of course, these aren’t from Haru, but from Nell, who had a fierce battle with me yesterday.

……… It’s ‘yesterday’, not ‘last night’, you know? So don’t get the wrong idea.

After all, there are only two beds in my house. If Chinatsu sleeps in Haru’s room, then naturally Nell will sleep in my room. There’s nothing obscene, there’s no way we will do such a thing especially when our disciples are sleeping under the same roof.

「Zzz…」

Nell, who attacked me like a lion in yesterday’s self-proclaimed game, has a cute sleeping face. She usually has a character that’s unmanageable, but only at a time like this, her peaceful sleeping figure is not bad. It’s really the same as before. I secretly stroke Nell’s hair with my fingers. It feels somewhat nice.

「When she’s silent, she’s a beautiful lady. Right, when she’s silent…」

「……Hngh.」

But, she has good instincts. When I said something strange, she gritted her teeth and grabbed onto my body. When this happens, she won’t let me go unless I correct it. Doing this unconsciously, she sure has a convenient body.

「Come on, sweet lovely Nell-san. It’s morning, wake up.」

「H-Hnn…」

She released her arms that creaked my bones, but it seems that she’s still half asleep. Then, let’s shake her shoulders.

「Uhh…」

「Are you awake?」

「…… Kiss me or I won’t wake up.」

「………」

Nell is, very rarely, a maiden.

Then, after this and that, Nell and I went to the living room. There, Chinatsu and Gobuo were lining up breakfast on the table.

「Nell-shishō, Deris-san. Good morning.」

「Gobu!」

「Ah, Shishō! You woke up on your own today, huh? Good morning to you too, Nell-san!」

Hearing Chinatsu and Gobuo’s voices, Haru also came out of the kitchen. I’m not sure if it’s because of my adjustments yesterday, but Gobuo seems to be in good shape. He’s saying gobugobu as usual, but his voice is full of energy.

「Morning. Also, I’ve grown to the point where I can wake up Nell.」

「H-Hey…!」

「「?」」

Hmm, when I woke up in the morning, there was a beautiful woman (if she’s silent) next to me and two high school girls (and a goblin) who made breakfast and were waiting for me. Isn’t this a situation where people would envy so much? I see, so I’m finally a winner. But, why I feel like only Muno-kun who will agree with me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

「Please contact me when you are going to Adelheit Magic Academy. Did you understand? You have to, okay?」

「I was in your care. Haruna, see you later.」

After breakfast, Nell and Chinatsu went back to the mansion. This is a pattern where she will be angry like a fiery fire if I forget to contact her. Apart from remembering that sleeping face, I also have to remember this promise. Otherwise, I’ll die. Yep, I’ll die.

「I’m almost done with the chores in the morning, thanks to Chinatsu-chan and Gobuo-kun’s help. Shishō, are we going to train now? Let’s train!」

「It’s good to be motivated, but first, let’s start by sorting out your situation. Haru, what level is your dark magic now?」

「Let’s see… it’s over level 70.」

Oh, she has passed the level mark again, huh? That’s even better.

「Are you ready for the memo?」

「Without delay!」

「Good. Haru, you could only use dark magics around level 30 before the expedition, but now you are at level 70. Then, there are new magics you acquired. This time, there are four.」

The number of dark magic you can learn by raising your level is fixed. The following are the ones Haru has learned.

Dark : Acquired at level 40, blocks the target’s vision for a certain period of time.

Crime Lance : Acquired at level 50, releases a spear of darkness.

Viobomb : Acquired at level 60, releases a mass of poisonous water.

Gravas : Acquired at level 70, a wide range version of Gravi that can be used without touching.

「Ohh! Crime Lance and Viobomb seem cool!」

「Unfortunately, I think those two are useless for you.」

「Eh?」

Don’t frankly make that disappointed face. There’s nothing we can do about it. Or rather, the way you fight is too unique.

「First is Crime Lance. You can think of it as the dark version of Glitter Lance that Chinatsu was using.」

「……? Isn’t that magic useful?」

「For ordinary magicians, yes. Especially for dark magic, it’s the first offensive-magic-ish magic. There’s no way for it to be useless. But, what kind of magic you have been using?」

「Throwing. Ah.」

So she noticed, huh? So far, Haru has been using stones and iron balls, adding magic to them, and using her throwing ability to attack. The power is enormous and it’s being further strengthened by the 『Strong Throwing Arm』 skill she acquired yesterday. However, this Crime Lance is not for throwing. It’s a magic that uses magic power to shoot it at the enemy. There is no room for Harus throwing power to be involved, and it will probably become ordinary magic. Since she has stronger magic from the beginning, there is no reason to use this magic anymore.

「T-Then, what about Viobomb…?」

「You should actually try it rather than asking. Try using it on that pebble over there.」

「Okay. Viobomb!」

She’s very enthusiastic, but in contrast to her, the water ball created by Viobomb is slowly moving forward parabolically. After ten seconds since it was released from Haru’s hand, it finally fell to the target pebble and scattered the poison around.

「…… I-It’s so slow!」

「Yeah, the speed is very slow. When it hits the ground, the explosion range and toxicity are strong, but to be honest, it’s very difficult to hit the target. And in the end, it’s water. So it’s not much different from Dawth if you scoop it and throw it. Rather, it’s better to use Dawth from the beginning to reduce the magic power consumption.」

It may be useful when the enemy can’t move or right in front of you. However, in such a case, it’s faster to attack directly.

「Could it be… it’s useless more than I thought!?」

「In your case, the standards you seek are inevitably higher… Well, instead, Dark and Gravas are suitable for you. From today on, you should practice these two as well. Also, I’m thinking of going back to the town today.」

Like, buying things such as scrolls, scrolls, or scrolls. Hahaha, I have the money! Not only for me, but I’ll also buy for Haru too since it’s a good opportunity.

「Are we going shopping? Then, I want to buy some more groceries. We’ve been away from home for a while, so we are a little low on supplies.」

「It’s settled then. What about Gobuo?」

「Gobbu! Gobu gobu!」

「I see… he wants to come along as a carrier.」

Hee, is that so? I was the one who made the adjustment, but I have no idea at all.

「Let’s change Gobuo’s clothes before going to the Quitet Magic Item Store. His equipment broke in the battle with Haru after all.」

「Gobu!」

I wonder if they allow pets in there.
