Chapter 15 – Aura (2/2)

[Kuh, one more time, one more time! Next time I’m gonna win!]

At the same time, the frustrated Miru throws the ball back into the plaza from the outfield .

I sensed aether approaching from the sky, when I looked above.

There was a bird with its wings spread out. The bird opened its talon and swoop down like a bullet, the ball which was thrown by Miru earlier, was taken from us.

Miru let out a stupid sound when the bird flew back to the sky, it provoked us to do something about it.

[Return it! Return the ball!]

Everyone started throwing stones toward the sky, but no one could reach it. The only stone which reached the bird’s height was from Miru’s kick, but the bird swung one of its wing to deflect it as if sneering us.

[My, my ball&h.e.l.lip;.]

Miru, whose ball that she made with great effort being taken from her, became teary eyed and bitterly stamped the ground.

[Return it, Return it please&h.e.l.lip; My ball!]

Her face was deep red because of anger, that girl’s face looked really vexing.

It really made me sad.

For five years old children, the importance of the ball was immeasurable.

If it’s an adult, they might possibly endure it, but for Miru, she could not easily accept it.

When I saw her like this, my chest tightened. I could feel her sadness, my heart is aching.

I resolved myself and pick up a stone, I was conscious of my magic power.

I concentrate the magic power around my throat. And then, I apply my 『imagination』 on the magic.

Shoot down the bird from the sky with the stone that I throw. When I imagine it, I recite the chant.

[『Grant me power to shoot down the flying bird』 ]

Since I was whispering, n.o.body heard the chant. Power suddenly welled up within my body

My body feels light, I understood that my physical strength has been strengthened. It’s not same when I compare it with my previous buff, furthermore, my view has become clearer too.

Right now I can clearly see the movements of the bird in the sky. I can predict how fast it flies, how far is the distance, and how fast will my throwing stone reach the bird head&h.e.l.lip;

I gripped the stone, while being cautious to not break it, I rotate my whole body.

And then, with a powerful recoil, I threw the stone with the right timing.

The stone shot made a [Boom!] sound as it flew towards the bird with a terrific speed. The bird tried to avoid it in a panic, but it was already too late.

In an instant, the stone hits the bird’s head. The bird which got its head crushed, fell down along with the ball.

[Awesome!]

I heard someone shout. But my eyes were focused on the fallen bird.

Just now, I realized the dread when I use my magical power. The bird head is completely crushed with the stone, I understood that it’s an instant dead with only one blow.

This is different with the magic training that I did so far before I can sense the aether. Regarding this magic, it was impossible to activate it with only images so far.

At the same time, [Aah] I had this feeling.

I used magic in the front of the people in the village. Now that my magic is exposed, I wonder how the others would react&h.e.l.lip;

[Awesome Gerald! You, how did you do that?]

Miru noticed it and talked to me while hugging her recovered ball.

I felt relieved and answered her question with random things. Miru continued to talk without any regards to me.

[Just now, you did that, right!? Awesome! That’s so cool! Hey hey, please teach me the trick!]

[The trick, eh, just now is only by chance&h.e.l.lip;]

It’s not possible to say honestly that it because of magic. I can only evade the question.

[By chance? Nn~, is that so? Oh well. More than that, you’re so cool! I have fallen in love!]

[Love&h.e.l.lip; Eeeh!?]

[Yeah, I have fallen in love! Because you’re so cool!]

The cheerful Miru came closer to me, she brought her face closer to my cheek.

Toward her sudden behaviour, I was unable to react fast enough,

[chu]

I heard light sound.

[Y, y, you, just, now, what, did&h.e.l.lip;.?]

[Eh? Papa always did that with mama]

My face become hot. When I noticed that I was being kissed on cheek, I began to blush more.

[Na, nyan, na na, nya re?]

Oi my tongue. Speak properly.

[Eh? Like I said, I fell in love with you?]

[&h.e.l.lip;? Your face is red, you know? What’s the matter?]

[It’s because the weather is so hot!]

[Yeah! It’s great that the weather is so nice!]

This girl do not seem to understand anything.

-- Although, it was I who didn’t understand anything at all.

This sign is the cue for 『that omen』.

At this time, I did not know anything..

Coming up next: The Demon attack on the village. The battle scene should be increasing, please look forward for it.
