The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

The simulated battle with Luminaria ended.

Currently working on restoring the training ground using soil magic.

I work hard to fix magically broken walls and tidy up rough ground in battle.

We fought flashly, so there's damage everywhere, and repairs are pretty cumbersome.

Well, whatever the ground is, I can't complain because I deserve better on the wall.

Beautiful girls lying on the ground and gutting at me at work like that.

"Ha, ha... eh"

"... eh"

Ha-ha-ha. Rough breath, two sweaty people.

Lie on your back and fall asleep in big letters, Liese.

Next to it is Luminaria.

Blah, blah, blah. I get in the way of work when I can sleep on the ground...

Well, what a good sight, so forgive me.

After fighting Luminaria earlier, Reese somehow came in and fought two to one.

You Reese, don't you have to work? And I questioned it, but you have a neat face, and I'm sure it's no problem.

Sometimes I have to move my body.

If you've taken a breath from your job, more importantly.

"... you don't know what that means, do you?

"Oh, all that movement... why are you still healthy, that guy"

After about five minutes, it looks like my breath is finally getting ready.

Luminaria rises slowly.

"Um, Mr. Alberto"

"What?

"After all, can I have you fight in the water this time?

"... that's good"

Nod at Luminaria's suggestion.

I haven't had a good exercise in a long time either.

No, swimming (?) I have to practice.

In the water, you won't be able to stand around as well as this one.

I need to figure something out.

Both Reese and Luminaria are muddy in their clothes and armor in battle.

My body has been soiled since the morning.

After the mock fight, return to the castle and gently bathe to clean your body.

I live with the women for once, so etiquette like that matters.

After cleansing your body, eat lunch and satisfy your empty stomach with exercise.

After eating, I took a nap because I was sleepy.

I woke up in the evening...... I fell asleep for quite a while.

(... me, I have a good life)

I also feel like I'm licking the world properly, but let's not think too much about it.

The three of us had a friendly dinner, and...

Late at night.

I'm in the lounge on the top floor of the castle, just like I was this morning.

I'm reading more about the book that was lit up on the table and interrupted in the morning with light demon stones.

……

I don't always stay up late.

I had a hard time sleeping because I took too many naps today.

Good exercise during the day, I can't help but fall asleep deeply.

That's why I decided to read until I was sleepy.

Thus, the rhythm of life will collapse.

The top floor of the castle was originally low in and out of people.

The day is quiet, but I can't hear a thing at night.

Except for some roundabout night guards, etc., I guess I'm on holiday.

Enjoy reading in a noiseless, calm space.

The sound of perplexing and turning the page sounds.

That's how I read the book, and it was about time enough had passed.

A glimmer of shadow stretches out into the thinly lit hallway.

I could hear the knockouts and footsteps.

"... Mr. Alberto?

"Hmm? Luminaria, what's up?

"Well, it's hard to sleep."

"Ha, just like me"

Somehow we laugh at each other.

It was Luminaria who came there.

She pinches the table and sits in the chair across the street.

Luminaria wakes up early.

It's unusual for the two of us to have this conversation at this hour.

This kind of thing, it feels fresh.

"Has Reese slept yet?

"Looks like I was working until earlier, but I'm off"

"Oh well."

Reese is busy getting ready for the festival right now, etc.

To a certain extent, Clife cleaned it up for me so that I could go around alone.

Some aspects may be trying too hard to live up to expectations, with care.

Let's see if we can just not force it.

"Thank you for today. I want you to hang out with my family."

"Fine, I'm a good athlete, too."

"Is it a level of good exercise to move and deal with both of us at the same time..."

"It doesn't mean anything profound. I'm sorry if I offended you."

"No, I can't tell you anything if they put it that way. When I asked your sister about Mr. Alberto, I was half-hearted."

Set aside a beat and Luminaria continues the conversation.

"... I was a little in love. When Mr. Alberto first met me at the guild, he said, 'Don't get on with it,' but this is what happened."

"............ Ri, do you understand?

No, you said that.

I didn't even know Rutherpham's daughter then.

"Let me apologize. I... I thought it was just jealousy."

"Never mind. It is not something you can tell by mouth. It's a mistake to be young."

I was totally jealous, though.

I'm just a little uncomfortable, but I don't bother to lower my ratings.

It's convenient, so let's leave it misleading.

But don't feel tickled because you're not used to being praised.

"Not yet...... we need to refine"

Just a little bit, a shadow falls on Luminaria's face.

Well, if a gargoyle can't even fly in the sky, and she's just like a child, would anyone be depressed?

Nevertheless, I am also aiming for the strongest in the world in character.

"... I think Luminaria is strong."

Anyway, I don't like being looked down in front of you.

Keep a one-off follow up.

I won. I might hate it when I say it, but I'll tell you what I honestly think.

Never a lie.

"You lost, did you?

"It's natural to lose. You, how many years do you think I've lived?

……

"That's inferior compared to me and around True Dragon. You don't know how hard I struggled to get to where I am now, do you? Don't be complacent about losing to your 300-year-old little girl."

Is that it? I'm not comforting you after all.

Ning Ro, I'm scolding you.

It would be terrible to see it from the outside.

Why is this happening?

... but.

"Kussh, what do you want to do with me after all...... Mr. Alberto is"

Somehow, Luminaria laughed.

It's not administrative, a naturally floating grin.

I'm not sure why I laugh... okay.

It's a hundred times better than being sunk in the face.

"And anyway. I can't be strong overnight. We have to do it from what we can."

"Yes."

Now that we have some embarrassing air, we move on forcefully.

It's getting a little early, but Luminaria doesn't seem to care.

"That being said...... there is something particularly bothering me about mock warfare with Luminaria"

"What do you care?

"You're not good at magic sensing, are you? The reaction to attack magic also felt dull. The timing of sensing magic activation is slow..."

"... were you spotted"

"Well, I've been wondering about that since before we fought."

"?? Why not?

I don't know, and Luminaria.

"It's about Gin's Trident."

……

"The Trident contains the magic of Ginn. If you can tell whose magic it is, you must be feeling it when you talk to Gin. It's similar to the magic in the Trident... but I didn't show it that way."

"It's"

"Well, it's extraordinarily difficult to realize that, compared to simply discerning a small, big, magical... the point is that it's a personal habit of magic"

I've been using magic sensing for years, and I don't know if I need to be conscious and focused.

Normally, it's not good enough to use a dedicated item to determine whose magic print it is.

"... you can't hide it. To Mr. Alberto."

"Magic sensing, didn't your parents teach you?

"It's not like that..."

"... but what?

"Uh, it could be an excuse, but I also think there's a birth problem"

"Born?"

"My father and mother are called true dragons, and they are the strongest in dragons of all races"

"Oh."

"Are you really bad at feeling magical because you grew up with two people who hold such enormous magic, or are you blunt"

Hmm, I kind of figured out what I wanted to say.

"My father was good at magic sensing."

"... right"

I know, though.

Even when we met in the Farah Mountains, they flew all the way to us.

I was a long way from the mountaintop.

"If I may, shall I teach you magic sensing?

"Uh, okay?

"Oh, swim in the ocean next time instead (?) I need you to stay with me."

I think it's going to be hard for me to be alone.

It might be more accurate to practice travel rather than swimming.

"Of course if that's about it...... thank you"

"I don't want to thank you for being held."

It's called GiveandTake.

I wave my hand at Luminaria with a flicker.

"Magic sensing is handy, we can cover blind spots in battle. I used it today to prevent Luminaria water bullets."

"Yes."

"It's convenient in everyday life. For example, if we expand the sensing range this way… and the fact that Reese is not moving shows that she is asleep. Oh, you just hit a turnaround. You're going to fall out of bed soon."

"... or don't do it for him. It's an invasion of privacy."

"I'm just kidding."

Take a blame from the luminaria.

I don't usually do this, I guess.

"I'm tired of expanding the range so much... hmm?

"?? Mr. Alberto?

…… What is this?

What I found was honesty, coincidence.

Concentrate and expand the sensing range… then.

I sensed two magic powers moving up from the bottom.

Little by little, we're approaching the top floor.

……

Think about who the moving magic is.

(Guards around? No...... something different)

"... well, what's up?

"I'm sorry, will you keep quiet because I'm going to concentrate a little?

"Yes..."

Explore the motion of sensed magic.

Nearby, besides the two magic powers, there are soldier-like reactions.

But no one reacts in any way, even if it's nearby.

It's as if you haven't seen it.

I may have overthought it, but I find it just a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know who, but there's a guy approaching here. Number of people."

"At night like this......?

Luminaria looks surprised.

"You're an intelligence agent who came to let you know something happened outside... or"

"... for once, shall I wake your sister?

"Right, that might be better. Please."

"Okay."

Luminaria nods and rushes out to Reese's bedroom.

I'll drop that back off.

"Well... and"

I don't know who they are, but shall I welcome them politely, without disrespect?
