Chapter 42 (2/2)

Opposite to the calm Dora, Bruno was just emotional.

His feelings of not wanting his daughter to become a magician were going through circles.

Even so, Laura felt anew with this much difference in the att.i.tude of her parents.

She had felt before that her father's hate for magicians was so bad, but as it turns out, her mother was more tolerant than she thought, and her father was far more of a fanatic that she thought.

「By the way, when that senior asked for a duel, did Okasan not like Otou-san?」

Laura asked with pure interest.

「Ara, I liked him of course」

「Then, why did you let them have a duel? Isn't telling that senior something like “I like this person so I cannot go out with you” enough……」

「That's true, but. You know right, men fighting for myself, doesn't it make your maiden's heart throb?」

「I wonder〜?」

Laura tried to imagine, but she couldn't understand it well.

In the first place, she didn't have any male student that she gets along with, and she couldn't understand very well, about men fighting to get into her side.

Instead, the scene where Charlotte and Anna would pull her in opposite sides appeared in her mind. She wondered why.

「You, you thought that this has nothing to do with you……then, it's that. This was when we graduated after school. While finding Aneki, I went around this country and nearby with Kasan. And one day, we joined a party with a magician. This guy wasn't a graduate of the adventurer school, but he was a veteran who started from G-Rank, reaching the C-Rank. That's why I trusted him and joined hands with him. However, during a quest, we encountered a Leviathan. It was something that we didn't expect at all. I thought of letting the magician use flash magic to blind its sight, and let everyone run away. But then, that magician b.a.s.t.a.r.d, as soon as he saw the Leviathan, he ran away without doing anything. He used Kasan and me as decoys. We somehow successfully ran away, and we're still alive today……but the scar I have on my back, I got it when I defended Kasan. It would probably never disappear」

Bruno said at once.

Did he remember his emotions at that time, from the middle, he was inflamed with fierce anger.

Laura also got completely empathized, and felt anger towards that magician.

Having that experience soon after becoming an adventurer, he can't be blamed having hatred towards magiciansーー.

「Eh, why didn't you say that first! The apple pie's story or the skirt flipping using magic, that doesn't matter right!」

Laura couldn't help but raise a loud voice.

If there was such a proper reason, it would have been the best if he says so.

Thanks to that, Laura almost looked down on her father.

「Ohh……I see. No, well, sorry about that. It would be like this, if I talked about it chronologically」

「It's not a novel you know……」

「Well, anyways. With this, you finally know how useless magicians are, and how evil they are right. Stop going to school, and come back here」

「U〜n……this and that, are different things, so」

「Whaaat!!」

The story came back to the beginning.

In the end, Bruno wants her to drop out, and Laura doesn't want to drop out.

It was still parallel lines with this.

What should they do then.

Their conversation would not go on, although they talked this much.

The only thing left is to fight.

「Ne〜, Otou-san. Let's go out. Using that useless, evil magic, I'll show you how strong I've become」

Laura picked a fight herself.
