chapter 32
32 – Rails. Are you sleeping?
I shut my mouth when Sylvia said she wanted to use the same magic as me. That’s also true, psychokinesis magic consumes a lot of mana and the pattern of mana changes, so you can’t use other magic.
Of course, you can use magic like artifacts, but it’s not like being teased that psychosomatic magic is magic that only porters use.
To be honest, I’m somewhat used to it now, but I wanted to use elemental magic like other mages.
This is because elemental magic has a wide range of magic that can be used, and you can create your own magic with derived magic.
That’s why I clearly explained why Sylvia couldn’t use telekinesis magic.
“Sylvia. If you learn psychodynamic magic, the pattern of your magic power changes, so you cannot use the magic you are currently using. Do you still want to use telekinesis magic?”
Anyone with a sane mind would answer that no.
And since most nobles have received education worthy of their title, they will not learn psychokinesis magic.
No. I thought so too a little while ago.
“Yes! Even if I can’t use other magic, I want to use the same magic as my brother!”
“… ….”
I shut up again.
I couldn’t make eye contact with Sylvia, who was still looking at me with twinkling eyes.
“After. First of all, Sylvia, let’s take a look at your magic.”
I also only learned magic from Fenia, but I’m not at the level of judging others.
Still, you can see the level of Sylvia, who has just started learning magic.
“Yes!”
Sylvia replied vigorously, and as if she had promised, a lizardman jumped out from behind.
-Kreurreuk!
Sylvia immediately turned her head and met her eyes with the Lizard Man.
Sylvia swallowed her saliva as if she was a little nervous.
But she didn’t avert her eyes from him.
Then cast a spell and start.
Then, red magic power rose like a haze over her hand.
“Fireball.”
With a short chant, flames burned over her hand, and hot fireballs were fired at the lizardman.
Fire-!
I feel the heat as if my body is about to burn even though I am far away.
She had such enthusiasm that it was hard to believe that Sylvia, who had just started learning magic, used it.
And when Sylvia’s magic hit the Lizardman’s head directly, I couldn’t hide my surprise.
“Uh… ? What?”
And what surprised me was Sylvia who used magic as well.
That’s because the Lizardman’s skin, which can’t be fatally wounded with lower magic, has completely become ashes.
The lizard man who lost his head fell to the floor without being able to scream once.
“… ….”
Sylvia and I looked at each other with awkward faces.
“Sylvia. You don’t learn anything like psychokinesis magic.”
“Yes.”
*
Me and Sylvia began subjugating the Lizardmen who were stealing ore while using magic with each other.
Basically, when I use AoE Gravity Magic at the Lizardmen,
“Sylvia!”
“Yes! Fireball!”
Sylvia uses magic to attack them.
-Kreurreureuk!
However, since Sylvia can only use her magic one shot at a time, there are times when the remaining Lizardmen run in this way.
At that time, I quickly made a bullet and aimed it at the head of the approaching guys.
Bang-! With the sound of air bursting, the bullets shot through their skulls and exploded their heads.
Kwajik-! His body tumbled across the floor with the sound of his head breaking.
“Ha ha ha. I think I’ve caught all the remaining guys now.”
As Sylvia said, only their corpses were visible around them, and no other signs of presence were felt.
I turned her head and looked at Sylvia.
Sitting down and taking a rest, he seems to have run out of mana after using magic several times.
I approached Sylvia.
“Good job. Sylvia.”
“Your brother worked hard too!”
I gave a light high-five and checked the time.
There was no watch, but it seemed that the time for gathering had passed since the sun had gone down.
“Let’s go back now.”
“Yes!”
At my words to go back, Sylvia slowly rose from her seat.
“Huh?”
However, the moment he stands up, he loses his balance and collapses on the floor.
“Why is my leg weak?”
“Is it mana depletion?”
“Out of mana?”
Sylvia tilted her head at my words as she was experiencing mana depletion for the first time.
She had just used magic, so it was only natural that she didn’t know.
“If you use all the mana in her body, her body won’t move until the mana is refilled.”
“Then what should I do… ? Unnie and the others will continue to wait…….”
Sylvia looks up at me with her worried expression.
Originally, you could drink mana potions, but Fenia had most of them, so I didn’t carry them.
However, I couldn’t give it to Sylvia because the ring on her hand was also engraved with my name.
“Get up.”
“Yes?”
“Because you won’t be able to walk, put them on your back.”
Inevitably, I lowered my posture and took a comfortable position to carry on my back.
But for some reason, Sylvia didn’t ride on my back and hesitated.
Do you think I’ll feel heavy?
“I don’t care, just get carried away.”
Now, even climbing a mountain has become more comfortable, and it is at the level of climbing by hitting gravity magic on one’s body.
It’s not even a job to carry a middle school girl on my back.
If it’s heavy, you can use lightweight magic.
But even so, Sylvia did not ride on my back.
And she speaks quietly with a slightly reddened face.
“Tta, because I sweat a lot, I want something that smells like sweat… ….”
What is it? What else do i say
It’s already at the level of climbing a mountain with Aline covered in sweat.
I wasn’t the type to feel the stench with just a little sweat on my forehead.
“Oh!”
Forcibly carrying Sylvia on her back, Sylvia let out a small scream as if surprised.
“You will be tired, so at least sleep while you go.”
“Yes…… “
Silvia quietly and shyly answered my words and buried her face in my back.
Sylvia must have had a hard time dealing with the lizard man. Sylvia’s face was quite hot when she touched her back.
And, as expected, she didn’t smell particularly bad.
*
When she arrived at the place where they first parted, everyone gathered in advance to see if they had subdued the Lizardmen.
And Alice, who found Sylvia on my back, asked me.
“Why is Sylvia on the rails?”
“Her legs are weak due to depletion of mana. Fenia, do you have any potions left?”
“No. The last thing I gave you was the last time. I need to make some new potions next time.”
Unfortunately, Penia didn’t have any mana potions.
She has no choice but to carry Sylvia to her mansion.
It was then that she thought so and moved her feet to her mansion.
“I’ll take care of it, so give me Sylvia.”
Ellis looked at me with an apologetic expression.
It seemed like he thought it was heavy for me to carry Sylvia.
“It’s okay. She’s not very heavy either. Let’s just go back to the mansion like this.”
“… All right.”
Ellis took one look at her Sylvia, then she let out a short sigh and moved her feet.
When we returned to the mansion, we were greeted by Andrew, who was drinking tea in the garden.
“There are more Lizardmen than I thought, right? After all, I have to call the adventurers separately and deal with it…….”
Huh? What is Andrew talking about?
And as if to represent my thoughts, Aline next to her opened her mouth.
“What are you talking about? Lizardmen have all been subjugated.”
“Yes. Yes?! Are you saying you subdued all that many Lizardmen?”
A bewildered Andrew looked at me with wide-open eyes.
Anyway, he noticed that he couldn’t believe he had subdued all the Lizardmen in such a short time.
“It is true. Baron Andrew. For the time being, you won’t be meeting Lizardmen in the veins.”
“Really? hahahaha. It’s really unbelievable. It seems like you always get something in return from Master Rail. Is there anything else you need?”
When asked if I needed anything, I fell silent for a moment and thought.
But I shook my head because I didn’t really need anything right now.
“The next time I need you, just do me one favor. Not in the Violand family, but in my name.”
“Okay. Whatever the request, I, Andrew, will accept the request from the Rail Master.”
Aline is my exclusive knight, and Fenia also wasn’t particularly interested in materialistic pursuits, so she didn’t say much about what I said.
“Everyone must be hungry, so let’s go in and have a meal.”
After an active battle, as Andrew said, we were all hungry, so after washing ourselves with Fenia’s magic, we went straight to the dining room.
Different from breakfast, hearty meat dishes were served for dinner.
The well-roasted meat was sliced the moment the knife touched it.
It was so tender that the meat could be sliced with a spoon.
Well well.
As if the food to eat after exercise was the most delicious, Aline ate meat quickly, and Sylvia also started consuming meat faster than yesterday.
“Sylvia must have been very hungry. Eat this too.”
“Thank you! Mother!”
Her Sylvia’s mother Frey, who saw her, gives her own meat to her Sylvia.
She smiles heartily at Sylvia, who eats well.
The skinny Sylvia ate well and seemed to be in a good mood.
While I was also savoring the meat that melted in my mouth, Andrew drank a glass of wine and spoke to me.
“Bocchan, are you going back to the mansion tomorrow morning?”
“Yes. I intend to return to the mansion tomorrow morning.”
“It’s a little sad that you passed away already. You don’t have to worry because Master Rail has vacated his sleeping room today.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“No. It was something I should have done.”
When I said that I would be back tomorrow, Elise pursed her lips.
What is it? Did she get some meat in her teeth?
After the last meal was over, I took a shower with hot water and moved to my assigned room.
“Oh. It’s pretty wide.”
It was smaller than my usual room, but judging from the size of the mansion, this room seemed to be the largest.
After changing into pajamas, I immediately threw myself on the bed.
The soft feel of the cushion on the bed is pleasant.
I didn’t even turn off the lights, but maybe it’s because I’m tired.
That time when my eyelids were closed and my consciousness was gradually drifting away.
Knock. Knock.
A small knock came through the door.
As I raise my body from the bed, the closed door begins to open little by little.
Then, through the small crack in the door, Alice appeared in a pink nightgown.
“Rail. Are you sleeping?”
