The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee
82 The determination of Colette and Millet
The next day I went around drawing a magic formation with Vivi.
When I was on guard duty, Colette came.
"Old man!"
"Colette, what's going on?
Colette had a serious look sometime.
Femme's ear stood pinned as she fell asleep beside me.
Morphy and Sigishoara, on the other hand, are thrilled that Colette is here.
"Not anymore." "Rita."
Morphy is pressing his forehead against Colette.
Sigi climbs right onto Morphy's back before twisting to Colette's shoulder.
"Neither Morphy nor Sigi should be disturbed."
"Already?" "Ria."
Morphy snapped his neck.
Sigi doesn't move at all. He's trying to dive into Colette's hair, sprinkling his patties and feathers.
Sigi, don't interrupt.
"Ria."
As I lifted him from Colette's shoulder, Sigi rang in disgruntlement.
He held the sigi and stroked the base of his feathers, as he did softly.
"All right, all right."
"Ria."
Sigi grew up. I'm closing my eyes to make you feel good.
"Well, Colette. What's going on again?
"Old man! Tell me the magic!
It was unexpected, so I'm a little confused.
I never taught people magic, by the way.
"How could you do magic again?
"'Cause it's cool"
"I see."
"Plus, if you can use magic, it's convenient!
Certainly magic is cool and convenient. I can't help it if the little one comes up.
I first learned magic when I was five. It was from an old demon mentor who was in the village.
That old man, who used to be an amazing adventurer, taught me all about practical magic.
The master died not long before I became an adventurer.
"Hmm, right"
"... no?
Colette looks anxious.
My teacher taught me that too. I would be good at teaching my disciples, too.
But you can't teach on your own.
"You can say Millett's fine."
Parental permission is mandatory.
Colette's face sparkled.
"Okay! I'll ask your sister."
Colette rushes away all the time.
Drop it off, then Femme says.
"You teach magic, right?
"Well, I guess it's good enough to teach"
"Wahoo."
Colette will be back in a while. Millet and Vivi are with us.
Millet walks early and grabs close.
Am I angry? Maybe I'm here to tell you not to teach magic.
If you learn magic and become an adventurer, you're next to danger.
So it's not uncommon for parents to disagree with teaching magic.
"Mr. Al!
"Ooh. Why don't you teach Colette some magic?
"Riaaaaaaa" "Momo"
Sigi and Morpheus were on the verge of Millet's arrival.
Morphy is thrilled to stick his nose in Millet's crotch.
Sigi was about to dive into the valley, jumping on Millet's chest.
"Morphy, no, Sigi too..."
"Momo!" "Ria."
Until Femme, who was watching it, began to quake.
If I let it go, I'm going to jump on Millet to Femme.
"Sigi, don't interrupt me. See Morphy too. You're in trouble with Millet."
"Huh?" "Already?
I'll hold the sigi. Morphy had Vivi pulling me away from Millet.
"Again. Millet, I knew you couldn't teach Colette magic?
"No, it's not. Teach me magic, too."
"Yep..."
It was an unexpected word.
"No?
"No, rather than no... How old is Millet?
I'm fifteen.
Basically, magic is said to be important for early childhood education.
Generally, fifteen is too late to start learning magic.
It's not that it's too late.
When I'm worried, Vivi says it clearly.
Fifteen is too old.
"Vivi, my God."
Millet was a little shocked because of Vivi's lack of words.
I guess Vivi wants to say he's too old to learn magic.
I'll be polite.
"Learning magic often works better when you're little."
"Why not?
"They say it's easier to wear when you're little, like a magical flowing feeling."
"Really?"
"Well, some people have grown up learning since they were over thirty."
Sometimes we can manage when we're young, even if we don't have talent.
But after the period of secondary traits, there is nothing we can do without talent.
When I heard what I said, Millet got a little better.
"Why would Millet want to learn magic?
"Yeah, well, I'll be able to help everyone in the village. If anything happens, I want the power to protect Colette."
"I see."
That's too motive.
The desire to protect someone can be a powerful force.
Besides, with the demon raid, Millet may have had a sense of crisis, too.
"... and it's cool"
Millet and Colette still seem to be sisters.
Magic is cool. It is the truth.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you something."
"Yay."
"Thank you"
I'll put a nail on the two of you that float.
"Except magic depends more on talent than swords. I'll be clear when I decide I'm not talented. Give it up then."
…… ……
The two push silence.
"It's pretty tough to be assured by a teacher that you're not talented. If you don't like it, you don't learn from the beginning."
"No, good luck!" "Good luck with Colette,"
"If you're not talented, I'll tell you sooner"
I think that's kindness.
"Colette, you're talented!
"I hope so."
I stroked Colette's head.
I had talent. So much so that I pulled out my master, the old exorcist, in five years.
Those without talent remain incapable of even using their initial magic after ten years of learning.
You'd better make them give up their wasted efforts before they overlap for years or decades.
"Seems to say something contradictory, but I'll teach you loose from tomorrow, so take it easy"
"Okay!
"Regards!
After the two of them leave, Vivi says.
"Has Al taught you anything?
"There isn't."
"Are you okay?
"Probably."
"I don't trust you."
Speaking of which, how did Vivi master magic?
I was concerned about the magical circumstances of the demon clan.
"How did Vivi get the magic?
"You know what? My sister taught me how to wobble."
"Your sister?"
"My sister was an amazing magician."
That's how Vivi looks away.
I was concerned about the past shape.
That's why I couldn't ask what was going on with my sister right now.
