Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Episode 18: Act as soon as you are told

On Cliff's advice, I moved on as soon as I got back.

"Prepare the top four civil servants that Mr. Flair can trust."

“Okay, what's new?”

"No, I don't think I need to look around the four cities anymore.I don't need to put any more effort into any city, so I thought I'd leave it to someone else to manage it. ”

I haven't had much time with my children in the last eight years because I've been going to and from four cities and looking around all by myself.

Well, since the first one was an unstable and trouble-ridden land...

It is very inefficient to continue this even now that it is stable.

So I decided to just listen to the reports on the other four cities.

"I think that's a good decision.Then I'll leave it up to my trusted subordinates to manage each one. "

"Yes, thank you."

"... what happened in the Imperial Capital?"

"Everyone told me to work too hard.So I was able to do my job as a lord at the very least, and I thought I wouldn't have to work so hard after that. "

The development of the West, which was entrusted to him when he became a duke, would have been enough.

In the meantime, any city should grow on its own.

"At the very least... I think Mr. Leon did his best job."

"Well, I'm confident you've worked a few times as many of the nobles around here."

I don't know if it's the best, but I think I've done more than a lifetime of work for the nobles who have inherited their parents' land for generations.

"Yes, Master Leonce is working hard enough."You could be more aristocratic and lazy. "

"I don't mean to be lazy, but... yes.Let's take a little more time off. "

To spend more time with the kids.

And that afternoon, I voluntarily took a break and came to see the children's swordsmanship.

"What? Dad, what's the matter with you at this hour?"

When I came to the practice hall, the children had eyes like they saw something unusual.

Ah, just looking at this reaction shows how much I don't usually interact with children.

"I just finished my job.I came to play a little bit. "

"That's right. Hey, Dad!Fight me! "

"Oh? Do you want to do it? I look like I'm Herman's master?"

That said, I took the sword that was hanging on the wall.

I was worried that I would be able to defeat Cain by touching my sword too much.

You're okay with the boulder, right?Doesn't mean your father's majesty is gone, does it?

"Is that true? I've never seen him fight before."

"Well, if you were surrounded by a strong escort like Herman, I wouldn't have to fight."

"Yes, but...."

"When my dad was about Cain, he already had a very tough training under my dad's grandfather?"

"Dad's grandfather was a brave man, wasn't he?"

"Yes, a brave man who defeated the demon king in that book."

The children of the world are the heroes they long for. Amazing, isn't it?

"I envy you to teach me a sword ~"

"Whoa, what a wonderful thing to be taught by a Herman, huh?"

"Is it better than the brave one?"

"Yeah, I think it's amazing.My grandfather was a genius in hard work, but the hero is just a genius now.It is difficult to refer to because it is a way of fighting that assumes that there is special magic. "

Electric magic, swordsmanship based on magic that can only be used by brave people, can't be used by anyone but brave people.

"That's right..."

"In comparison, Herman's magic is nothing but attributeless magic."I use swordsmanship that anyone can use if they work hard.And the most powerful of the knights of the Muldeen family in the world.How about that? Isn't it amazing? "

"Uh-huh... you were such a wonderful master."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.Show him more respect.

"It's not a big deal.Up there is the top. "

"Who's stronger than Master? Dad?"

No, I can't beat Herman right now.

Without magic, you can't use unattributed magic, and I don't have a choice but to escape with metastasis.

Well then, who is it?

"That's right... Sherry, Lena, Belle, and Lou are stronger than Hellman when they're close."

"What? Mothers?"

"Sherry, I feel that way... but are you stronger than your master?"

Well, except for Shelley, who's teaching magic, I don't have much chance to show my strength to my kids, so I guess I can't help thinking about it.

"Belle is particularly strong." I've been a champion before. "

"Eh? Mom Bell found the brave one?"

I can't imagine that personality.

"Yes, Mothers, if you really piss me off, you should be careful."

Oh, that's a lot to say.

Looking back, Shelly and Lena were laughing nicely at the entrance to the auditorium.

"Uh, uh... Cain! Grab the sword!I'll take care of you! "

I thought it was bad, but I decided not to make excuses for the time being.

Uh-huh.

"Ah, Dad ran away ~"

"Run away ~"

"Shut up, you guys! Shut up and watch my father fight!"

Then I went to Kate, Nora, Lil and Rose, and when I realized it was dinner time.

"Dad was so strong."

I'm glad my body didn't forget about swordsmanship.

I think you can protect my dignity now.

"That's why I told you. Even so, I fought a herd of dragons when I was young."

That's true, isn't it?

"I wouldn't lie to you like that."

Father, wow ~

Yes. Cain, praise me more.

Daddy's amazing!

"Speaking of which, the bones of the dragon must still be there... Want to see it?"

And not just a dragon.The bones of the boss who was defeated when he was thrown into the dragon's nest.

It's huge enough that anyone will be surprised to see it.

I want to see it!

"All right, let's get that sweat out of here!I'll show you when I get out of the bath! "

Got it!

"What happened suddenly?"

As they watched the children go to the bath, Sherry and Lena came by.

What happened to the two of you waving your sword with the kids all of a sudden?That's how it feels.

Yeah? Yeah, I thought I'd have to get more involved with the kids.

"Yes, that's a good idea."

"Hey... my kids aren't so weak."

I thought I had to protect it... but today I saw it with my sword.

Not only Cain, but everyone shook their swords firmly.

Nora parryed my first blow, didn't she?I was so surprised that I forgot to move and almost lost.

"What are you talking about?It's not natural, because it's you and our kid.There's no way I won't be strong. "

Well, if you ask me.Maybe they'll be stronger than we are.

Maybe I was more worried than I needed to be.

Ah, it's hard to raise a child.

How about now?

Well, yeah.

From Sherry and the others, that's better now.

Ah, now I have to work hard to learn how to raise a child.
