CHAPTER 43: THE STRONGEST SANDBOX GAME

In this day, it was warm from the morning, so I was bathing in the sun.

Since it was a waste to stay inside the house, so with Nadia’s suggestion, the three of us went out for a walk.

From the left, Sylvia, me, Nadia.

Aligned like that, we held our hands while walking.

Looking from the side, it probably looks like three very close childhood friends, wherever we went to, the grown-ups were looking at us with pleasant eyes.

「Lucio-kun, Lucio-kun, look at that」

「Un? The children that are playing in that sandbox?」

When I looked towards the direction where Nadia was pointing to, there was a park, and one boy was playing inside the sandbox.

「He is amazing……it is like a real castle」

Sylvia was amazed. I know how that feels. The sand castle made by the boy who was playing with sand had a very high quality.

「It’s true, it really looks like the real thing」

「It really looks like someone is living on it」「It even looks like it might move anytime」

The two said their impression at the same time, both of them had an impression that was like each one of them.

「Playing with sand huh……」

I thought for a while.

「Lucio-kun, do you want to play with sand?」

「Come to think about it, we have never done it before, playing sand with Lucio-sama」

The two said, and stared at me at the same time.

It’s true that we have never done it, so since we’re at it.

「Playing sand with one rank up, let’s do it huh」

The two cluelessly tilted their head.

We returned to the mansion’s garden.

I made the two wait behind, and I casted the new magic I learned there.

「『Sand Box』」

The light of the magic enveloped the garden, and that changed into a gigantic sandbox.

In the middle of the sandbox, there was two scoops, red and blue, they were sticking vertically.

In a place nearby, there was also a watering place.

「Amazing, the garden changed to a sandbox in an instant」

「Is that magic that makes sandboxes, Lucio-sama」

「That’s half correct. There’s a scoop there right? Sylvia and Nadia, use that to make something」

The two looked at each other, and nodded at the same time.

They took the scoop, and each of them started to make something.

I watched them. I already casted the magic, the thing that I have to do is over.

Sylvia made a house. Nadia made a little strange four-legged animal.

And the instant that they were made, the sand box s.h.i.+ned.

The light enveloped each of the things that the two made, and finally, it became real.

The miniature size house that Sylvia made had its window turn into gla.s.s and the doors could be closed and opened, and the four-legged animal that Nadia made, released a kick using its back leg and *Hihi〜n*, it cried.

「Wa! T-This is」

「Amazing〜, is it magic that makes the thing created real?」

The two looked at me, I nodded.

「That’s how it is. Using that scoop, all that is created inside this sandbox would all become real」

「Then……something like this too……?」

Sylvia said that, and a horse with wingsーーshe made a Pegasus.

The white horse with white wings was flying very well even though its miniature size.

And there, *Do〜n*, an explosive sound was released.

Nadia made a cannon while that happened. The cannon spew fire, and shots down the Pegasus with its bombardment.

「Wow, even weapons can be created」

「Nadia-chan, that was cruel right now」

I think so too.

「Attacks should be done after some preparations are finished」

Un?

「Sorry, sorry, I didn’t think that even cannon sh.e.l.ls would come out」

「Then」

「Un, let’s do it」

Sylvia and Nadia, the two nodded to each other and took a distance.

It’s starting to have a weird flow, and when I thought of what they were going to do, the two made things with a great momentum.

Castle, city walls, and the soldiers and equipment that protects that.

Without an hour pa.s.sing, the garden became a small battlefield.

Sylvia’s army protects Sylvia’s territory, and they were at a confrontation with Nadia’s army.

「Then」

「Un」

The two nodded at each other with almost only eye contact.

The start of the war had fallen.

The humans led by the general riding a pegasus was Sylvia’s army, and the monster army led by a dragon knight was Nadia’s army.

Both armies in the middle of the garden, in most probably the country borders, they collided.
