Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

Three years ago...

"Your magic is" manipulative magic. "It's a lovely magic that can manipulate something and move it as you wish. Take care of it."

"Yes! Thank you!

Manipulative magic... I'd really like to transfer magic.

If it's a transfer magic with few users, we could have made a lot of money working in the transportation of supplies.

Then I wish my mother would have made it easier for me.

But, well, I'm glad it's not magic that can only be used in combat.

I'm not scared of adventurers, and I worry about my mother.

Besides, even manipulative magic will have a job, and now let's do our best.

Mother...... I hope you're happy!

――――――――――――――――――――――

"I'm home!

"Welcome back, Tia. How'd it go?

"It was manipulative magic! It wasn't transfer magic, but this still has a lot of work to do, right?

"Oh, good for you! Manipulative magic is handy magic, so I'm sure there is. We have to work out!

"Yeah!"

"Good. Good. Okay, I'll warm up the meal. Just a minute."

Your mother's magic is thermal magic.

It's a kind of fire magic that can warm things up.

Your mother is embarrassed by weak magic, I'm telling you, but I love this magic.

'Cause it's so warm, it's sweet magic!

I don't have a father in my house.

She died of illness when I was still a little girl.

From then on, I've been living with your mother and two people.

Your mother worked so hard to get me to live my life.

So now I work for your mother.

Not until I can use my magic properly... but I'm sure I'll be able to use it at work in a year.

All right, special training every day!

"Yes, what a day...... Tia's favorite beef stew!

"Oh, Mother! Money ok!?

"Don't worry about that! It's Tia's birthday! Do you want some?

"Mother...... thanks! Here you go!

Yeah, I knew it......!

"Yum! Your mother made the best beef stew!

"Hehe, you must be. You must be!

Besides, I guess it's because I was warmed up by your mother's gentle magic... a sooo happy flavor.

I quickly ate it all.

"Welcome! All right, look, Mother! First time magic!

"Oh, Tia, come on!

Work out your magic and concentrate on the spoon of the subject you want to move.

I shed magic from my body and commanded it toward the spoon.

"Move!

But a spoon made of wood didn't even work with Pickle.

"That... that's crazy...?

I've tried to move it several times since, but the spoon doesn't make it slight.

How many times? Because it's not weird to move a little bit......

"I wonder why..."

"Well, that's the first time. I couldn't do it at all at first either. But because I'm sure you'll be able to use it!

"That's right...... because I'll do my best!

"Come on, Tear!

I have to do my best for my favorite mother.

I'll use it right away and feed your mother a lot of delicious food!

That's when the door to the house was knocked.

When your mother replies, she hears the usual voice.

"Good evening. I'm Horus."

"Ah, it's Mr. Horus."

Mr. Horus is the best doctor in Nieberg.

The injury is healed by healing magic, but the illness cannot be healed.

Mr. Horus is a famous doctor who has cured a lot of people with drugs and surgery.

Besides, it's amazing restorative magic, it seems very popular with women who don't leave any post-operative wounds, and patients come from all over the world instead of the country.

I've known your mother for a long time, and we used to talk about something when she came to us.

"I'll open it now."

When your mother opened the door, Mr. Horus, dressed in a brown back, stood as usual.

He looks like he's fifty, but he still looks younger.

I had a souvenir in my hand, and Nico laughed and gave it to me.

"Yes, birthday present. Delicious cake."

"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Horus!

"Mr. Horus, I'm always sorry..."

"Fine, fine. So, how about that story?"

"Ah, outside then... Tia, wash your plate"

"Yes!"

I guess that's the story.

I want to eat the cake fast, and I have to wash my plate anyway.

I thought... but I still care.

Just a quick question.

"I guess............................................. but?

"Oh... do... oh..."

"... or... this... but..."

"Already... One... Me..."

"......................................................................................................... again"

Hmmm... I have no idea.

Wash your plate.

By the time I finished washing my plate, your mother had just returned. Looks like Mr. Horus has already left.

He doesn't seem to be feeling very well... but I wonder if your mother is okay...

"Mother......?

"Ah!"

Surprised by my voice, your mother dropped a white bag.

Picking it up gently, your mother returns to her usual smile and hugs me all the time.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Happy Birthday Tia. You were born to me...... thanks"

"Mother... I'm happy being your mother's child"

"Tia......!

I'm happy.

I have such a great mother.

Ok...... now my magic will make your mother happy -!

――――――――――――――――――――――

Then I desperately trained in magic.

But after a week, my magic was useless.

Looks like all the kids around here can use it normally.

Everyone's showing me magic, but I have a really bad feeling, and I said I'm not feeling well and I ran away.

I couldn't wait to be scared.

Since then, I have decided not to see my friends until the magic is available.

――――――――――――――――――――――

After a month, nothing changes.

Your mother says, "It's okay, it's okay," but I'm getting less and less confident.

Scary.

Besides, your mother hasn't been feeling very well lately.

More coughs, more days I can't go to work.

I went shopping to try not to see anyone I knew and started living a hidden life from around me.

――――――――――――――――――――――

It's been a year since then.

Mother fell asleep.

I manage to earn a living by getting an inside job.

The magic is still unusable.

I managed to live secluded so I wouldn't find out about it around me.

But it's probably a rumor.

Maybe they've already noticed.

I was deluded because my mother doesn't want to leave the house because she's sick, but I can make many times more money working with daytime magic than doing an inside job.

If you want to cure your illness, you need more money, so you can make magic money without doing an inside job.

That's something that everyone will understand.

I still make flowers on paper today.

Two gold for each bottle made. The goal is 500 bottles a day.

I make it all the time heartless, but sometimes my feelings sink and I think about the extra.

Why am I making flowers?

Because I can't use magic.

Why don't you have the money?

Because I can't use magic.

Why can't you use magic?

That's......

"Mother, I'm sorry... I... incompetent..."

I finally said it.

I never told you before.

I never wanted to tell you......!

Ah... no... your mother hates me.

Incompetence is not human... your mother will hate you too...!

What do I do...... why did I say that?

Oh no... don't hate your mother...!

No... no... no!

"It's okay... Tia's not... incompetent..."

Your mother said that to me desperately squeezing out her voice.

"Mother... about me... don't you hate me?

"Why...? Tia's not incompetent... is she? Tia's a bit of a sleeper... and magic... maybe she's a sleeper? Phew."

"Oh, Mother... Mother!

I couldn't stop crying anymore.

Even your mother should have noticed...

How could I be incompetent?

"It's okay... Tia's okay... look, if you cry, the beauty will ruin it..."

"Ugh... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm incompetent. No... ahhh... Ugh...!

"It's okay... go-ho... ha... ha... it's okay..."

At that time, the door to the house is knocked.

When I managed to reply with a trembling voice, I heard my usual voice.

"Good evening. I'm Horus."

"Ah, yes..."

Mr. Horus has been watching your mother for free for the past year.

He gave me your pills, and if Mr. Horus wasn't here...

When I opened the door, Mr. Horus stood with a serious face.

Things are kind of different than usual.

"Good evening, Tia. Do you have a minute?"

"Yes..."

Apparently, it means we talk outside so your mother doesn't hear you.

I went outside and closed the door.

Then Mr. Horus opened his mouth quietly with a strange face.

"Tia, let's get straight to it. Keep it up... your mother won't help you"

Ah......

"Mother suffers from a difficult condition called Dowsara syndrome. It costs a lot to cure it. The medication I'm giving your mother right now is only a medicine that reduces progression and does not constitute a fundamental treatment. I need a lot of rare herbs to cure it."

"Wow, all I can do... WHAT! Anything... I'll do anything...!

When your mother is gone... your mother...

No, no, no...

I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.

"Right. Then be mine."

"Huh...?

Now... eh...?

Hey well......

"Ha... I'm gonna say it again, okay? Your mother will be cured by me. So, you become mine. You got that?

Oh, what... what...?

Also, what are things...?

"I know, I... I know you're incompetent."

"Ah..."

"I saw it through the window by accident during this time. You're the one who's desperate to move things. You can't use it at all... you incompetent bastard"

"Ya, stop..."

Don't tell me...

My heart hurts.

Stop... stop...

Why all of a sudden this...

"On second thought, if you can use manipulative magic, you can make money from it, but it's weird at the time you're working internally. Totally stupid of me, too. If I'd known sooner...... So, what? I'll cure your mother. You will be mine. Okay? If you don't like it, you have no choice. Mother dies and you fall apart all over town saying you're incompetent. Come on, what do we do?

I had no choice.

I don't care what happens.

Your mother... only your mother...

"The world says incompetence, but it's a rumor. It's multiple times more meaningful to use it well than that. You're going to be used by a brilliant person, me. Instead, your mother will save you. So... just make up your mind."

Well... incompetence... is something.

I do things... help your mother... things.

"I... will be your... thing..."
