Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

SIDE: Hellman

Recently, Knights practice ends with a mock fight between me and Alma.

Surrounded by everyone, me and Alma fight in it.

"Then get started!

On Mr. Bernort's signal, Alma immediately set it up.

You can't use slaughter because this is inside the building.

So, at times like this, it's a melee right away.

I use the Demon Eye to send Alma's attack with the minimum amount of movement necessary.

If we do this, Alma is bound to make a bizarre offense.

When it succeeds, Alma wins, and if it fails, mine wins.

And today the time soon came.

When I thought Alma was a little away, he came from the front of me.

Well, how does Alma work?

"Sai!"

The result is my win.

"Hellman won today."

In Mr. Bernort's declaration of victory, the knights around him began to make more noise than I did.

Lately, they've been playing betting between the knights on which one of us will win, me or Alma.

Damn it, we're not fighters.

"Ahhh. I knew I was overattacking you today ~"

Alma, who lost to me, fell to sleep on the ground in regret as the noise arose around him.

"I don't think so. I think Alma would be okay to attack that much. I wasn't sure if I could attack today."

Finally, I shouldn't have been lost in how Alma moves from the front faint.

When things are in good shape, it doesn't even give me a gap in looking at the demonic eye.

"Oh...... right. If you ask me, I would have."

"Right? That made it easier for me to predict an attack."

"Right...... we need to be careful from tomorrow. Don't get lost in the judgment of the attack. If you decide to go, I'll go!

That being said, Alma slapped Bashibashi and his own cheek, and rose up.

"Yeah. I think that's good."

While I was in tune with Alma, I gave her a hand in getting up.

Then there was a paragraph of betting noise, and Mr. Bernort began to issue a decree to everyone.

"All right. I've been practicing today! It's been a long time since I've had this afternoon training off! Play in the city as much as you want, you nonsense! All right? You guys are getting a lot of pay, Master Leons, because it's your job to sprinkle that money all over the city! Enjoy yourself and play your part!

"Ooh!"

Everyone shouted loudly at Mr. Bernolt's voice.

"What will Alma do after this?

As everyone went outside to play, I was asking Alma what she was going to do.

I don't have anything in particular to do, and I guess I'll fit in with Alma. What a thought.

"Yeah... I haven't decided anything in particular. But I think I'll do some shopping in the city."

"That's right. I need to spend my salary, too."

I don't really want anything, but as Bernort told me, we have a duty to shop in the city...

"Well, why don't you eat outside? In a little good restaurant."

Food. Good.

"Yeah. I think it's good. Oh, why don't we make it a restaurant where the masters often go with their wives?

Sure, my master said it was in the heart of the city.

"The restaurant that Master Leons often goes to? That's good. Let's do it there."

Then we changed out of our sweaty clothes and went out together.

There's a distance there from the training ground on the edge of the city to the restaurant, but of course it's none of our business, and it soon followed.

"Heh. This is where it is. It's in the heart of the city. It's delicious."

"Right. Are you free...? Excuse me!"

"Aye. You two?

When I called the clerk, one woman came out.

Oh, this man, maybe the one the master was talking about.

"Yes."

"Then I can show you right away."

Looks like there were only two seats available.

You're in luck.

"What would you like?

As Alma showed me the menu, she asked me as if I was in trouble.

Just like me, Alma wouldn't normally come to a restaurant...

I think I don't know what to ask for when I look at the menu.

He said, "I'll take care of it."

"Well, let's recommend it."

"Yeah. Excuse me."

With Alma's approval, I called the clerk as I searched the menu.

"Yes, sir. Have you made up your mind?

"Yes, I recommend it"

"Recommended? Hehe, that's good. Wait a minute."

Although a little surprised by my order, the clerk immediately responded with a smile.

And then wait a minute.

"Yes, we're proud of our pasta."

The clerk brought two plates on which the pasta looked delicious.

"Wow. Looks delicious"

"That was good. Heh heh. I ordered a recommendation. It's been a long time."

"Really?

"Yes, I used to be a boy with three cute kids."

"Heh."

Though we thought he was a master, we voiced a little surprise with a body we didn't know about.

My master was supposed to be patient then.

"That must have been, now that I think about it, Lord Leons-sama. So, I was with Shelia and Liana, and then Leons-san, my favorite maid. You knights, right? Didn't you hear the lord came to our restaurant with patience or something?

Oh, I knew you'd find out... Well, the master is a remarkable man of sorts.

"No. Especially..."

"Wouldn't you like to come back?"

"Master Leons is very busy right now..."

"Sounds good. The city has grown... and this city has changed a lot in the last few years. Not only that, but the war against the kingdom is centered on Master Leons, isn't it?

"You're familiar..."

How did you know about the war?

Still, the average person shouldn't know because it's not confirmed...

"Absolutely. They run shops in the heart of the city in the heart of the world? I'm going to know more about this world than the informants around here."

"I see... that's amazing"

If you ask me, there's gonna be merchants from all over the world here.

Well, I'm going to be familiar with that.

"That's not true. Oh, I'm sorry. The pasta is going to get cold. Take your time."

With humility, the clerk went behind the store.

"You're a funny guy."

"Yeah. My master told me the shop guy was funny, too."

Probably, the master was talking about that guy.

"Nevertheless, I know for a fact that Shelley, but did you take Belle with you there?"

"Just for the record... Master, because I've always drowned about Mr. Bell enough to be a training ground many times with Master Shelley"

Master Shelley is famous for being jealous, but I think his master is worse than that.

If I had more wives next time, then Shelley would be angry too.

My master's femininity has gotten better lately, and I have a good relationship with Master Shelley...

"Heh. What was good about Bell?

"The Forster family has had no eyes on the Beast since the brave man's generation. I hear the made-up of the first Forster family was the Beast Man."

My father said that the brave men also liked the considerable beasts. Anything, you think there's an episode where you almost killed a brave man by a magician because you adore a maid chief too much?

Thinking about it, Master Shelley is sweet.

"Heh. Beast lovers are hereditary."

"Probably. And then there's Mr. Bell's own hard work, isn't there?

Until now, I've had a chance to see a lot of maids, but I've never seen a maid as masterful as Bell.

Attention is perfect... I always support my master beside me.

I guess I can do that role because it's Mr. Bell.

"Right. When I was in the orphanage, I was a little out of it, and I wasn't that big of a guy."

"Heh. What personality did Mr. Bell have when he was in the orphanage?

"She was an active and sweet sister. They used to deal with me a lot."

"Heh. After all, was Mr. Bell strong?

We don't have any teeth on Mr. Bell right now, but how was it then?

"Of course. No one could beat her in the orphanage. Beast magic is too cheating."

"Is beast magic that awesome?

I know it's special magic that only beasts can use, but you've never actually seen that much where you use it.

"Yeah. It feels like only one person can use attributeless magic, if you like"

"Sure, no one can win that."

"Still, I was just a few moments away before Bell graduated! Oh, too bad."

"Heh. I knew Alma was amazing."

I guess I've had a bad sense of battle since I was little.

"Sort of. I don't think I can beat Bell right now."

"I have no choice. Master's daughters, because everyone but Elsie is strong."

For God's sake, only four of us are attacking a dungeon where the knights are all trying.

Plus, it's going deeper than a knight.

"No, if Master Elsie thinks of the best financial power in the world, isn't she strong enough?

"If you ask me, you are. After all, we're all strong."

No, I wonder if I can be the master's wife if I haven't jumped through with something.

"Holy Virgin to the most powerful wizard, the most physically powerful, the richest man in the world, the one who can destroy everything... when you line up your names, they all look like the protagonists of the story"

"Well, he's the protagonist. Because the protagonists of this world are the master and his wives"

This is for sure.

"Yes. Right. Oh, strong people, I admire you so much."

"Strength is something you can't get without trying. The master and his wives are so hard at work, they're so strong."

"I know. If you look at Shelly's freely manipulative magic, you can't tell me you haven't tried."

"That's amazing, isn't it? I was surprised when you first showed me at school, too."

"Speaking of which, I forgot, Herman was a nobleman."

"Aristocrats, at the bottom, though."

It's almost like a civilian.

"Still, from us, the people, we are on the clouds."

"I guess..."

What my father does is no different than a normal knight. I think it's a common house.

"Hey. What's it like to be a noble school? Tell me."

"Whatever they say it feels like... right. I wonder if meritocracy will stick the most."

"meritocracy?

"Yeah. They rank you by academic skills, magic, sword abilities, and they classify you with that."

"Heh. By the way, what class is Herman in?

"It's the top S-class. My master taught me how to study and I managed."

I'm not amazing, I'm amazing.

He was such an idiot. He put me in S-class... Truth is, my master can't lift his head.

"Heh. That's awesome. After all, are the Leons and Shelleys smart?

"Of course. The master is always full, and Master Leena is always second. Shelley was a top grader, and she always had a name."

"A boulder... As for Master Leonce, it's really perfect. Strong, smart, sweet, and I wish I could marry Master Leons."

"Oh yeah..."

Is that it? Something's wrong.

Even though it's normal for a woman to admire her master...... something, she moans.

Am I not comfortable with Alma marrying her master?

And then for a while, I was thinking about it as I appropriately continued my conversation with Alma.

Do I like Alma?

Every day, we get along so well that it's normal to be together like this...

Yeah...... does this all together mean I like you?

Think about it in your master... right. The women who are always with the Master are all the Master's wives.

Then I like Alma, too.

And on my way home after I left the restaurant.

I made up my mind and cut the story out to Alma.

"Hey... that's what I was just saying..."

"Earlier?"

"Talk about wanting to marry my master."

"Huh? That? That's a joke! Am I marrying Master Leons? I can't help it."

The more nervously I asked, the more I was answered in a mild tone.

But I talked to Alma again, still nervous.

"Hey, Alma."

"Oh, my God, just now... I don't think so."

When I stopped and spoke, Alma looked back wondering.

I made sure Alma looked back, and I went further.

"I don't care how hard I try... I don't think I can go beyond my master"

"Ugh, yeah......"

"But I work hard to be stronger. So..."

Hmm. And I breathed, and I bowed my head and said out ahead all at once.

"When I'm strong enough to beat Alma three times in a row, admit me as your wedding partner!

"Yeah...? Hey, here?

Oh, here, it was in the middle of the road.

I proposed without thinking about it, but now you're so embarrassed.

But if you're a man, you have to put up with this much.

I kept my head down, not caring about the voices around me.

Then Alma slapped me on the shoulder with a ton.

"Oh, okay.... If you can do it, do it."

When I looked up, Alma, shyly blushing, replied with a smile.
