Chapter 22

「For now, let’s eat the dinner? Okay?」

Iris’s expression looks calm unlike a while ago. I’m glad.

The bacon adds a faintly salty taste to the pancake, the apples are refres.h.i.+ng and the brown sugar’s sweetness, un, delicious.

The bacon oil left a brown burn mark at the bottom. It resembles a pie. Crunchy, springy. Would I be able to find cinnamon somewhere? It might be even more delicious then.

The mint tea is also refres.h.i.+ng, un. Delicious. It just appears that there wasn’t enough. U~n…… something which can be eaten immediately……

I have nothing……

「Ah~ that was good」

Ara, s.h.i.+en had enough?

「What?」

「Did you have enough?」

「It’s a noon, after all. N? Baasan didn’t have enough? You can eat well」

「Not me, but how about everyone? It was enough for Obaachan like me, but……」

「Ah~…… Sorry, I overate yesterday. It was a taste I have never eaten before, and it warmed my body. My stomach is full. I normally eat about this much?」

「You ate a lot at the inn as well, though?」

「Because you were crying?」

Mou!! s.h.i.+en~!! I stare at him. Ah, which reminds me, they said this is also a kind of magic, didn’t they?! Then, let’s stare at him wholeheartedly. Fufu.

「S, stop it please!!」

Tsun.

「I understand, it’s my fault!!」

Tsun, tsun.

「I’m sorry!!」

Ufufufu. I won.

「Koyu-sama……」

「Ah, Iris…… I’m sorry……」

It seems I have made Iris look pale again. I’m disheartened.

「No. s.h.i.+en is at fault for getting on a high horse. What Koyu-sama does…… I have decided to stop forcibly thinking about it」

Eeh. Iris has forsaken me? What to do? I can feel my face draining of blood.

「Eh…… I…… ah…… I’m sorry……」

「No. Koyu-sama is not at fault. It’s just that I have decided not to trying to forcibly adapt my common sense」

「Iris’s common sense?」

「Yes. I’m talking about what I have studied in school and what I have learned as an adventurer」

「That means, Iris’s experience can’t apply to me?」

「That’s right. Koyu-sama can use magical power even though you don’t know how, right?」

「I certainly don’t know, but. It’s also doubtful whether I can use it?」

「I think that you are able to use it from what I have seen. Right now, haven’t you used『Coercion』specially on s.h.i.+en rather than on the whole group?」

「is that so?」

「Koyu-sama, I nor Eva has not felt your power, you know? It’s the evidence that you can directly and precisely control your power」

「Ara」

「It appears that Koyu-sama can intuitively control the magical power」
