"Ray. Yes, uh."

"... ahem"

Carol carries her own sandwich to Ray's mouth. And he eats it pakly, but there was no particular change in his expression.

"Delicious?"

"... yeah"

"Oh my God! Yeah, yeah. I've been making it for Ray, so hey! Great!"

"... thanks"

Ray thanked Bosoli. Carol was so impressed by the way she looked so adorable that she hugged Ray.

"He's really cute already! Enough to eat!!

And when Carol says so, Lydia stares at Giroli.

"Hey. Don't touch Ray too much. You're dangerous."

"What!? Could Lydia be jealous? I wonder?

I try to stir it up and return the word, Carol. In contrast, Lydia answers by moving her cheeks pickly.

"I'm just worried you won't do something weird. Ray's still young. Don't think about weird, okay?

Stick around half-eyed, but apparently Carol didn't care at all.

"Of course, I know ~!

Nico and I are laughing, but we need to figure out exactly what kind of move Carol makes...... Lydia thinks inside.

I'm sure Lydia's parent idiot might have started at this time.

After the four of us had a friendly lunch, Lydia and Ray were set to play a game. Abby and Carol watch those two on the bench.

"Right. Abby."

"What's up?

"Ray's got a good motor nerve, right?

"Did Carol look through Lydia's report?

"Yeah. But that's a little too much..."

and the moment Carol tried to continue the words ahead. She saw the impossible.

Yes, Ray has a decent meeting with Lydia in that little body.

"Hehe! Ha ha! That's good, Ray! I didn't know you could meet me directly from the front!!

"... I can't put it away"

To be clear, I'm finally going after that ball trajectory. The speed of the two balls is already beyond the bounds of the constant. Meet each other for a corner, but return it cleverly.

What would be amazing would be Ray's agility. Lydia is tall and has long limbs. That's why tennis is pretty good for you, but Ray's pretty much meeting with her like that.

And maybe so, Ray put on a cushion and released a drop shot.

"... Grr!! Ray, don't do it...... Huh!

The point was taken by Ray. His unleashed drop shots never bounced. As if sticking to the ground, the ball is two-way.

Rolling.

Lydia is good at it, but Ray used it. It's also in such a way as to make a gap in Lydia.

"... I can't put it away"

"Hehe. You seem to know those eyes, too. Fine, Ray. It's been a long time since I've really dealt with him. Fuhaha!"

Seeing how those two were doing, Carol kept her mouth open with Pokhan.

"Uh... Ray, maybe the junior king of tennis or something?

"No. It seems I've never played sports before"

"That means what's that report?

"It would all be true. That's a good clump for Lydia. Ray's motor sense will be unquestionable."

Afterwards. What happened on the tennis court was exactly what should have been described as hyperdimensional tennis. Something like an explosion occurs everywhere, but the two run endlessly through a court like that on the battlefield.

"Ha ha! There are actually six of my counters!

"... Gu!

I thought Lydia, who meant it, was no longer overwhelming... and Ray was slowly starting to wear it. And when you realize it, you make sure you get Lydia's blind spot to decide the ace.

"Hey......!? No way, you're seeing my blind spot!!?

"... Ginger is a lot of suki. Soaked."

"Kukukuku...... ahahahahahahahaha!! Oh, Ray. You're the best.

That's how I got to the end of the fight, but that was a world that was no longer difficult to say I was playing tennis. The coat has a crater, and the earthen smoke is scattered. Make sure you sew in that smoke and give each other a real shot.

Lydia is in complete favor, but Ray still eats up. And when I realized, Ray was sleeping in the big letters in that dirt and dust.

"Ha... ha... it's my victory!!

And, proclaiming in high spirits, did you think it was bad for the boulders, Carol and Abby quickly come closer to Ray.

"Ray!

"Ray, are you okay!?

Speaking so, Ray gets up trying to bah jump up on the spot.

And he whined in a small voice as he paid for the bread and dirt.

"... I can't take it anymore"

I just laugh a little bit if Abby and Carol are relieved to see how Ray is doing like that, or if Ray is doing something wrong.

And as Lydia approached, she stroked Ray's head gently.

"Ah. Take the challenge whenever you want. Because I'm Ray's master!

When the four of us got home, Carol said we were going to take a bath and the two of us headed to the bathroom. The remaining Lydia and Abby decided to make dinner. Even so, Lydia has nothing to do but taste it.

Tons of tongues and knives sound. In the meantime, Abby talks to Lydia.

"Lydia. Ray's really amazing."

"Right? That guy's gonna be a great one, huh?

I laugh nigga. That, apparently, was what I sincerely thought.

"I think you're using the inside code unconsciously."

"Oh, does Abby know?

"Otherwise I can't explain that move. There are many instances where children use witchcraft unconsciously. But in Ray's case, that's an anomaly. That is not the realm of children. That would be beyond the skill of a concurrent magician."

"Oh. That's why."

Lydia expresses her thoughts when she glides a glass of water all at once.

"I'm going to get used to my senses in sports first. You should teach magic in earnest after that."

"Were you thinking that far?

"It would be obvious. I'm Ray's master, right? It would be natural to think about disciples"

……

Open your eyes. I know Abby from a long relationship. That Lydia is not the kind of person who thinks of others as "tits". But apparently Lydia was changing a little bit.

"You've changed, Lydia."

The voice, whining bossly, never reached Lydia.

"? What did I just say?

"Nothing. So, it would be nice to teach Ray magic. But what leads ahead…"

"I know. That talent is out of standard. Probably could be a magician beyond me at the moment."

"So much for you?

"Oh. I'm sure I'm close to an unlimited full season right now. Mages peak in their late teens and early twenties. There are exceptions, but I'm sure I am, too. With that in mind, Ray's talent as a magician is already approaching me now"

That was an unavoidable sentiment. Fact I know because I started spending time with Ray. We still don't know exactly what trajectory he's been on. But that's why Lydia thought we should lead her not to be crushed by that talent.

"Talent comes with responsibility. Ray has already been known to exist in the upper ranks of the army. But that's why you should remember how to deal with your abilities. I don't care what kind of life he has ahead of him."

"... right"

Abby tries to stare away somewhere and stare at Lydia.

─ ─ Does genius know genius?

With that in mind, Abby was getting ready for dinner.
