About three months after Lucia Rose was born, her neck became seated.

"You've made hugging a lot easier, Dear Tiara Rose"

"Yeah, he's been gripping my fingers lately."

"I want you to hold my finger too......!

I'm tickling that little hand with my fingers as Filine hugs Lucia Rose. Apparently, I can't wait to give you a break.

"Dear Lucia Rose, it's Filine ~"

"Ugh!

He reacts when he calls his name, gripping Philine's finger all the time. The figure is adorable and Filine has a loose cheek.

"Please grip, Dear Tiara!

"Isn't she cute?

"Very!!"

Lucia Rose is wearing the forehang that Philine and Elliot got, and she'll be able to play with the rags Olivia gave her in a little while.

Now it's at the cradle of flowers, and the Tiara Roses are shaking it for you to play with.

Then there are also tons of stuffed animals delivered from Schnaus all over the room. Sometimes it's moving and Lucia Rose is playing.

When Filine is flashing Lucia Rose, a knock sounds in the room.

"Oh, it must be Darrell. I'll take care of Lucia, will you handle it?

"Absolutely."

Tiara Rose keeps Lucia Rose and remembers her upcoming plans.

Today, Darrell's routine checkup for Lucia Rose. At intervals of a few days, he sees a state of magic that no normal doctor can see.

"Brother Darrell is coming, Lucia."

"Ahhh!

Lucia Rose seems to love the gentle Darrell thing too, and she seems happy for me. It is very helpful because I do not get stuck in the examination.

"Dear Sister Tiara!

"Darrell, thank you for coming. Lucia was waiting for Darrell."

"Wow, I'm glad"

Darrell is coming right under Lucia Rose and gently stroking her head. Lucia Rose looks happy too.

Shortly afterwards, Aquasteed also turned up.

"Just a paragraph away, I'll be with you."

"Thank you, Aqua"

I don't have a problem with myself, but I still feel comfortable having Aquasteed.

Sleep Lucia Rose in the cradle of flowers and Darrell sees the state of magic and more with healing magic.

With all the guardian rings, Lucia Rose's magic grew daily. I'm worried I might lose control of my magic one day.

It's just... Darrell can't stop the growing magic or teach you how to control it.

For this reason, I do a medical examination every time I can.

"... after all, a little bit, but the magic is growing."

Place your hands over the ruthia rose and slowly follow the movements of magic in your body. It's a little bit bigger but certainly bigger than I saw it at birth than I saw it a few days ago.

Now I have pearl blessings and I have no problem with magic control, but I don't know what will happen to Darrell if it keeps increasing.

"It may be good to have a lot of magic, but it's also burdensome to have too much..."

"Right...... Especially since I don't have much magic, it seems difficult to teach Lucia how to handle it…"

Though I can teach you how to use it differently: instilling magic in sweets. Nevertheless, ordinary people don't really think about doing this.

"I'll support you there. 'Cause I think if you're dealing with magic, you know it to a certain extent."

"Thank you, Aqua"

In the meantime, we shall take a serious look at the state of magic and set up a system so that we can learn to treat magic early when we reach a certain age.

Today's diagnosis ended fine, and Tiara Rose was relieved.

"Speaking of which... Lucia's magic of fire is strong, like the help of Salamander."

"Master Salamander's?

"Yes."

Tell Darrell about the other day when Salavia and Salamander came. Maybe it's a little hard to talk about, but he listened seriously as he nodded.

"I see... that you've become more powerful because you've come into contact with other spirits"

I'm worried that Tiara Rose might also be concerned about something because Darrell got so upset as to think about it.

Silence flowed into the room for a while and Darrell slowly raised his face.

"... I never talked to you yet, will you listen to my master? Dear Sister Tiara, Brother Aqua"

"If Darrell doesn't get hard, I'll listen."

"Oh. But you don't have to"

Darrell smiled relieved as Tiara Rose and Aquasteed nodded gently. And he told me the story of a master who was pompous and... bubbly and disappeared.

"Master, dinner is ready."

"Hmm."

A small home deep in the woods, by the fountain.

The sky is blocked by the leaves of the great trees, and just from time to time the light that plugs in reflects on the water surface of the fountain. If I told him I was about to, the words were bad, but when it comes to being in nature, should I say something?

It took me two days to get to the city and I was always there while I was in the wild. So the only time I go is when I run out of condiments and other things I need.

In such a place, Darrell and his master lived together.

The master was always immersed in magical things, and although he sometimes read books, he was more of a writer of something.

Darrell carries prepared meals, even though he has trouble with a master who suitably hammers him.

If you can't come to the dining table, if you eat at the desk where I'm writing, that's fine. Because if I don't eat, I'm hungry and I'm not feeling well anymore.

Darrell finishes his meal alone and waits for his master's time to settle down.

"Oh, Darrell. I'm sorry, I lose track of time when I'm obsessed."

The master hugs Darrell and compliments him for eating alone. He stroked his head saying he was a good kid and smiled, "Let's take a bath".

He ties his long hair behind him, which has been left unattended and stretched, wrapping around him in a long robe with a hem. I'm not too obsessed with myself, is it magical when it comes to what I like?

Darrell, though, loves such a master.

The bath is on the back of the house.

Standing in front of a large tub with trees joined together, the master hands on. Then, in an instant, the water boils up and you can take a bath.

Come on, Darrell, let's go in.

"Yes."

It's in the deep woods where no one is, so take off your clothes that look like they're on the spot.

It's a huge tub for both of us, so we can stretch our bodies at will. The master speaks out "ahhh" and indulges in hot water.

"It feels good"

"Yes."

When Darrell nods, the master begins to draw something on the surface of the hot water with his fingertips, "Yes," he said.

Master's fingers can do anything and always surprise Darrell. The lines depicted as rinsing shine brightly and make me blind.

"Shall we talk about magic today?"

"Ha!"

"Good reply. You taught me that human magic is mostly determined at birth, right? But sometimes it increases."

The master's finger moves away from the surface of the water and draws a continuation to the universe. But the finger remained wrapped around the water, and the drawn line became a cup of 3D.

Let the magic use there to get it in just before it overflows.

"People have cups to put magic in, and they're born with full magic in there. Darrell, that's how you were born."

"Yes."

When Darrell nods, the master makes another similar cup: "For example..."

"If Darrell was given magic by someone else... what would happen?

I may not be able to do that, or I may have given it to you because of some circumstance. Although it is an extremely rare case, it is said that it may be amplified if it is compatible with magic.

"Uh... I think my cup will overflow"

"Yes. There is no magic in a glass full of them. But if they let you in, and you overflow - it's a magical outburst."

That's beyond the magic I can control, and I won't be able to handle it well unless there's so much going on.

"If you run wild, what happens?

"Well, it depends on how much magic you overflowed...... the area exploded and it sucks to die"

I wasn't sure what a young Darrell meant by death, but I somehow figured out that it must be a big deal.

"So how can it not explode? There are several ways to do this. You see?"

Shaken by the question, Darrell thinks.

What if I pour water into a glass and it overflows?

"Uh, prepare a bigger glass?

"That's one hand."

That said, the master made me try to make a glass of water bigger.

"But that's pretty hard. The easy thing is, it sucks magic out of the glass before it overflows."

"That won't overflow!

"Yes, yes."

Even so, that's not so easy.

I wish I had items like attack rings, guard rings, but not something anyone could get.

"But that's hard too. Right, if Darrell encounters such an occasion... I hope he interferes with that magic and uses the magic of healing"

"Healing with people's magic?

Will Darrell be able to do that? And I always look at my own hands that use magic.

"That being said, it's hard magic, so maybe it's still hard for Darrell. But I'm good at healing magic, so I'll be able to handle it sometime."

"Yes!"

In this way, the master darrelled me a lot of stories.

The treatment is so delicate because healing is the magic that works on people. Trying to handle it doesn't make it that easy.

Knowledge, effort and then talent will be needed.

Darrell, who always seems to enjoy listening to his master, is equipped with all of that.

"Darrell can be the best healing magic user in the world"

My master used to say that.

I have studied magic, taken care of my master, and spent time with both of us in the deep woods. No one comes to visit, the days when time flies quietly.

Then a while later, I had a visit to a house where no one was coming. Darrell hasn't seen him, but the visitor told me about his master.

"Undine and I called it that."

"Eh...!?"

To Darrell's words, Tiara Rose opened her eyes wide. Aquasteed is also amazed and hands on his mouth as he contemplates.

"So Darrell's master was the Spirit of Water Undine...?

"... I don't even know if it's true, but this is how I come to live in the city. The master said it was something special... I think so"

The power to manipulate water freely did not lean on others and responded to anything that was magical. Somewhere unusual, such a master.

"But humans don't bubble and disappear, do they?

"That's... yeah,"

Previously, Darrell said the master disappeared bubbling the day it rained. I just thought that was a metaphor for death, but it literally disappeared.

"I listened to Master Salamander and remembered the story of his master's magic. Since then, they've also taught me that when compatible magic approaches, it increases its power... If Lucia has the magic of a salamander in her."

If the master was really Undine, he probably had some sort of resonance -.

I've just never heard of Darrell himself having the same powers as his master or anything like that.

"So it's not something we can talk about with certainty..."

"No, enough is enough. Darrell was under his master from a small place, wasn't he? And healing magic expert. Just like Master Salamander, it's possible that Master Undine would have given him power."

Speaking of which, I recall that there was a change in Tiara Rose's body also after she arrived at her parents' house.

Darrell nodded small to Aquasteed's words.

"So... Tiara, your sister felt painful... thinking it might be my fault..."

Tiara Rose stands up when she sees Darrell distorted her expression so she can cry.

"That's not true, Darrell!

"Sister..."

"Even if Darrell had the power of Master Undine, he wouldn't blame himself. Instead, be proud of that power. He must have been a lovely master, huh?

"... Yes"

Tiara Rose gently holds Darrell's hand and smiles.

"I know Darrell was always worried about me and Lucia, and he still cares about me this way. Darrell's healing magic is a gentle power to help people."

Besides, I'm glad this happened at the stage where Darrell and Akali were.

If, after birth, one Lucia Rose is influenced by some force in a place where there is no Tiara Rose or Aquasteed either - then I feel relieved.

"That's why I'm so glad, Darrell."

"Oh. You never despise yourself. Thanks for talking to me, Darrell."

When Tiara Rose and Aquasteed both thanked each other, Darrell either because what he was suppressing piled up...... he hugged me.

Take it tight and say "it's okay" over and over again.

Darrell, who lived with his master and didn't know much about what an emotion was... but now that his mind was growing more and more, Tiara Rose was happy.
