Episode XVI: Hands-on Footsteps

The next day.

I headed to my usual place at my usual time.

Thanks to the dungeon's profitability these days, he spends more time training than hunting.

I want to make sure no one beats Roy when it comes to magic for now, more than I can beat Roy with my sword.

But I don't do swordsmanship either.

Because when the magic doesn't work or the magic runs out, nothing can be done because it's out of the question.

For now, with regard to swordsmanship, we made it a policy to steal the good in the mock battle when Roy came.

When I get to my usual place, there's a sign that someone is there.

Is that Roy?

"Ah, good morning!

"Good morning."

What a shirley there was.

I was surprised by the unexpected and my voice jammed.

No.

After all, I'm vulnerable to unexpected things.

"Thank you for your help today! Best wishes!

Shirley greeted her well and bowed her head.

I can't move in surprise at the sudden.

But if you're supposed to tell me, maybe it's like this at first.

Roy's just special! Absolutely!

"You're motivated enough!

"Of course!

Shirley holds both hands and shows temper.

All right! Cute!

... No, it's not.

Seems motivated and good.

"So you want to know how much magic you can do first, so you can use it?

"Yes!"

That's what Shirley just got into chanting.

"Water. Help me. Destroy the target."

"Water polo! (water ball)"

If Shirley's on hand, a ball of water appears and flies away.

But a little powerful......

... Zung

The magic hit a nearby tree and the tree swayed a little.

Uh-huh, weak power.

Probably because the image is weak?

"I'm not very good at explaining magic, but probably because I have a weak image?

"... is that an image? Isn't magic just chanting?

Yeah.

You usually think so, don't you?

"Eh, well, look what I do!

I use the same magic as Shirley without chanting.

Then a bigger water polo appears on my hands than it did when Shirley, and it flies with momentum.

... dokah

Same magic, but the magic I used hit a tree. The tree fell.

... Was the image and magic a little too strong?

"What!?

Oh, I knew it would be that reaction.

Shirley was surprised and stunned as if she had seen something that was not from the world.

"Eh, magic can be used without chanting but even if you can imagine it. And increase your power with an image that instills magic in your image. I'm going to teach you this because if I can do this, I'll have less clearance, more power, and two birds a stone."

"Wow, can I do that?

Shirley looks anxious.

My eyes are shaking with lack of confidence.

Confidence...... right.

All of a sudden, my previous common sense was smashed.

"It's okay! At least because there's someone else in me who can do it!

Sure, Roy could do it, but there's no guarantee Shirley can.

But I guess I feel like anyone can do this.

"I get it. I'll do my best!"

"Ooh! It's okay! If I get stuck, I'll teach you!

Oh, shit!

I said something weird about Nori!

"Regards!

Good. Shirley doesn't seem to notice or care.

But hands-on (...) ……….

I was fighting troubles in my head.
