45 CHAPTER V -- Invite Hermann (2/2)

I knew it!

'Gata is a good guy, but he's always low to the ground on his old man ...... and he's a serious guy.

I see ...... Hermann is just like his father.

Hmm?　Does Leo already have the boy under his wing?

That's not what I meant: ...... It's just that they're respectful over there!

Yeah, it's just that Hermann won't stop calling me ”sir”.

Okay, well, you should always treat your friends well. Well, I guess you'll just end up working for Leo.

No, it's not ....... ......

There's no denying it: .......

A little while later, Hermann arrived home .

'Master!　Thank you for having me here today.

Herman bowed to me as soon as he stepped out of the carriage.

”No, no, don't be so formal, my friend.

I knew you'd follow him.

The words I was afraid to say from behind: .......

”Yeah, it can't be that way. ....

Yes, follow me. .......

”Oh, my dear mage!　Nice to meet you, I'm Hermann Caroon.

It's my pleasure. I hope you and Leo can stay close to each other.

Yes!

So, take your time.

Thank you.

So why don't we go to my room and practice our magic?

Then he showed Hermann to his room.

”And now I would like to begin our magic training.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me today.

Don't worry about it, 'cause you're my friend.

And your friends: ......

Herman looked a little unconvinced, but he looked happy.

'Then let's get started.'

Okay. But what do you do for magic training?

I'll tell you about it later. First, I'm gonna build you a secret tool.

Saying that, I took out mithril and magic stones from a backpack at the end of the room.

''Wow, that's a beautiful mithril and magic stone .

The mithril was bought, but the magic stone was something I poured my own magic power into.

''What?　Did your master make this very shining magic stone?

Yeah, but if you're this surprised, you're in for a big surprise now, right?

What could be more awesome than this: ...... What are you going to do now?

Well, look.

I think at this rate Hermann's magic power won't increase as much as it should.

That's why I've decided to use the magic item I made to increase her growth rate.

It's been a long time since I've made a full-fledged item: .......

While I was thinking about this, I was able to easily build the item I wanted.

Hey, what happened to you?

It's magic.

Magic?　Ah!　I see, Master can use creation magic.

He looked at me with a satisfied look on his face, and then he looked at me with a twinkle in his eye.

Yes, I do. You're a quick study.

'Because there's no way my master is incompetent, so I've been thinking since class that he must be able to use creation magic.

Oh, thank you.

I knew Hermann was going to be a good friend.

Is that a ...... bracelet?

Yeah. But it's not just a bracelet.

'What?　It looks like a fine piece of art made of mithril: ...... What the hell kind of bracelet is that?

Um, .......

I went ahead and tested the bracelet.

＜The Armband of Loyalty.

Accelerate the growth of magic

As long as you are loyal to the creator of these bracelets.

I don't go into a state.

1.5 times faster

Creator: Leons Forster

Something's wrong.

If I tell Hermann what the second half of the story is about, he's going to pledge his allegiance to me: .......

'Master?'

”Uh, uh, .... It's meant to stimulate your magical growth, so wear it as much as possible at all times.

Okay, okay!　...... Huh?　Can I have it?

Don't mind me. You'll do your best from now on.

I smiled and gave him a bracelet.

”Yes, sir!　I will work hard from now on (to serve my master).

Herman's face tightened, and he made a motion as if he were receiving something from the Lord.

Huh?　I feel like the weight of ...... Hermann's hard work is not the same as my hard work: .......
