Chapter 41 – Otou-san’s past desu

After a while, being treated as a body pillow by Charlotte, Laura somehow felt sleepy.

She might be tired after getting shaken by the coach for a long time.

Her eyelids became heavy.

And without noticing it, she fell asleepーーshe woke up when Dora shook her from her sleep.

「Otou-san is back」

「R-Really?」

Laura jumped out of the bed.

Following her, Charlotte and Anna also woke up, and slowly raised their body.

「Laura-san’s Otou-sama is back?」

「It is the time for confrontation」

Confrontation.

Towards Anna who intentionally chose that word, Laura tried to refute, that it was exaggerated.

However, she thought about it, realizing that it was not an exaggeration at all, her whole body became stiff.

「That’s right, it’s the time for confrontation! The two of you, please wait here. I’ll go and defeat father!」

Laura slapped her own cheeks, and went down the stairs with full spirits. She heard the two’s voice cheering after her from behind.

When she got to the first floor, her father Bruno was waiting in the living room’s table.

He really seemed like a seasoned warrior, very muscular.

She had heard once that he could beat the Behemoth to death without using weapons, but it is probably a fact.

「Laura. It has been a while. You finally came back. If you stayed in that school, you’d get brainwashed by that Great Sage. I’ll teach you the sword again. Let’s start immediately after eating lunch」

The first time he opened his mouth, he was like that with a serious face.

However, Laura is not a barbarian. First, she plans on calmly using words.

She left the conversation with an iron first as the last resort.

「Yes. I also want to train with the sword with Otou-san after a long time. But, please don’t say bad things about the school. Great Sage-sama is a good person you know. I, I’m going back to the school after the summer vacation ends, so」

Laura sat in front of her father, and said that while looking straight to his face.

If it was Laura who had yet entered the Gyrdorea Adventurer School, it might have been impossible to go against her father.

However, the Laura now has the goal of “returning to the royal capital together with her friends to the second floor”>

It was a resolution that would not waver whatever anyone says.

Did he read those feelings of Laura, Bruno had a sad face.

「……what happened, Laura. Didn’t you love the sword that much. Didn’t I teach you that magic is evil?!」

「I still love the sword right now. That’s why, I will continue to use it. I’m training with my friend in the warrior’s department every day after school. But, I also began to love magic. Otou-san had said that all of the magicians are bad people, but it wasn’t like that at all. The princ.i.p.al, Emilia-sensei, Charlotte-san, all of them were good people you know. Charlotte-san, she’s my friend in the magic department, and our room in the dorm is the same too. She treated me very kindly like a big sister, she treated me who was alone and lonely in the school very well. If Otou-san meet Charlotte-san, I’m sure that you’ll think that magicians aren’t bad too!」

「No, you are being deceived. There isn’t any decent person within magicians! Today……I will tell you……I didn’t do this up until now because it is embarra.s.sing……but I’ll tell you now……!」

Bruno stared back at Laura with eyes full of resolution.

He was trying to convince his daughter, even if he needs to show his disgrace.

It was the first time that Laura saw her battle-hardened father make such a cornered face.

What in the world did happen in the past with magicians.

Unable to endure the tension, Laura swallowed.

「……I had a sister that was a year older than me. She learned magic, just around Laura’s age」

Bruno started with that, and started to narrate his own pastーー.

Bruno’s sister Leslie, she had excellent magic talents.

It was not measured by the equipments so the accurate number is unknown, but she was able to use magic without any training.

Creating fire from her palm, creating electricity, strengthening her physical ability with magic powers.

Since his older sister learned magic, the young Bruno lost his chances for winning.

He always lost in their fights.

He was robbed off his toys, forced to do her ch.o.r.es, and was abused with unreasonable violence.

Bruno didn’t have talents for magic. At the least, he couldn’t do it like her sister, being able to use it without training. That’s why, he desperately trained his body.
