Psychic's Potential

「Even if you say ‘duel’, I won back in the Royal Capital, right?」

「That was an invalid duel! I was blown off by a third-party’s - miss Shelka - magic!」

Bram strongly denies my remark. So apparently, he is not satisfied with the incident back at the Royal Capital.

However, I already knew that after reading his letter. I’m thinking about what to say to reply. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「But I calculated and positioned myself so you can get blown away that time, y’know. I just lured you so I can get a favorable field. What’s the problem with that?」

「That’s true, but that also depends on how you say it」

Eric - who is nearby - said something in a half-surprised and half-impressed manner.

「Guh, that might be true, but a duel is a one-on-one fight! The duel is invalid when another person butts in! To begin with, you were the first one to break your promise to have a duel with me!」

「Then, you can just think it’s my loss since I neglected the duel. So please, you can challenge Eleonora-neesan or do whatever you want」

As I was starting to walk away and avoid Bram, he quickly reacted and went around to move and block me.

「Wait wait! Are you satisfied with that! I’ve won against you and now I decided to challenge Eleonora again!」

「Yesー」

That was Bram’s circumstance, I have nothing to do with that at all.

I want you to decide by yourself that you won against me and challenge Eleonora-neesan or whatever.

Oh well, judging from the skill I saw back in the Royal Capital, he’ll just get beaten by her.

「Alー, this person a nuisance!」

Just when I was troubled because Bram kept pestering me, Ra-chan - who is next to me - gave me her absolutely honest opinion.

It seems like she’s angry that he interrupted our plan to take a walk.

I also feel the same as Ra-chan. I want to quickly say goodbye to this annoying guy and enjoy taking a walk with everyone.

「What do you mean nuisance? You’ve been such a rude girl since a while ago」

Bram stepped on a land mine after Mina earlier.

「Muー! I’m not a rude girl! I’m Ra-chan, mon!」

「Ra, Ra-chan?」

Bram tilted his head when Ra-chan got angry after being called ‘rude girl’ by someone she met for the first time.

The two of them were at the same party back then, but they didn’t exchange any greetings properly.

He probably doesn’t know which noble house Ra-chan belongs to.

「I wonder who is the rude one? You tried to pick a fight and ask for a duel without even greeting other guests and the head of the Slowlett house after being allowed to come」

「Mi, miss Alicia!? I, I’m very sorry about this!」

I guess he finally noticed Alicia’s existence, and Bram greets her belatedly.

As expected even someone who came from an Earl house - Bram - seems to be weak toward the higher-ranking Duke house. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「By the way, this young miss is from the Misfid house, you know?」

「Un! I’m Ranna Misfid!」

And after Alicia introduces her, Ra-chan puffs up her chest in pride.

With Alicia's additional fact from Alicia, as to be expected, Bram's face turns pale at that.

「Misfid house!? I have been awfully rude to you. My name is Bram Bamlar」

「Bram, rude!」

「Indeed. Even though we were about to go out for a walk after this」

「……I’m very sorry」

An Earl House got bullied by a Duke House, amazing. Bram - with his cocksure attitude until just now - becomes humble in a second. So this is what an authority is.

It’s troublesome when you get involved with the society of nobles, but it might be a good idea to raise the status of one’s family social status if you want to brush off any sparks that might fall on you.

If Sylvio-niisan were to be the head of the family, then he would be very active together with Nord-tousan.

And at that time, I got the benefits of the authority without working at all.

Supposing that I got allocated work, I can just hire an excellent civil official and leave all the work to them.

「Now that we are done with the greetings, we can go, yes?」

「Y, yes. Please」

After Alicia firmly said that, Bram quickly makes way. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Since the nuisance is gone, Alicia, Ra-chan, and Eric start walking again, I also follow behind them.

Then, as we passed each other, Bram whispered.

「I won’t give up. I will absolutely have a duel with you」

Even though I already told him I’m fine with losing, I wonder if I can do something about this.

◆

「Thank you for earlier, Alicia-sama」

「Don’t worry about it. I was also troubled since the walk I had been looking forward to had been interrupted」

Alicia grinned when I thanked her for what happened earlier.

But, I remember where she was in the position where it’s like she encouraged for our duel when she suddenly proposed to intermediate between me and Bram in the past.

Truly a person whom you can't quite read her thought pattern.

I’d like Alicia to continue chasing off Bram, but that would mean that Alicia will be with him all the time and I’m going to be in her debts.

It seems better not to rely on her too much.

「Ahh!  I can hear the sound of water flowing!」

「Ranna-sama, it is dangerous to run around too much」

Maid-san said as she chased after Ra-chan who started running. That scene is so heartwarming.

「Al, everyone, come on quicklyー!」

Called by Ra-chan, I, along with Eric and Alicia also sped up.

「Hooh, the river is small but the water is very clear」

「It’s true. We can even see the fish swimming clearly 」

Eric and Alicia peer into the river looking very interested.

In the reflection in the water, Eric’s face can be seen, which seems to be paying attention to Alicia for some reason.

It’s better to refrain from observing from across the water’s surface since the other person would probably notice it already....... www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

While I’m thinking like that, Ra-chan - who was beside me - got on all fours and glared at the water’s surface.

Since her eyes are sharply lock-ed on to the fish swimming leisurely, I guess Ra-chan is probably going to catch them.

「Eii!」

As I stare at her, Ra-chan thrusts her hand into the water and grasps.

And there was nothing on her palm as she lifted her hand and opened up her palm to check.

「Fish-san, can’t catch」

「Yosh, leave it to me」

I squat down next to the dejected Ra-chan and stare at the water.

The fish here are small and very fast. It’s difficult to catch them with your bare hands if you don’t set up a trap and drive them to the trap.

But, I’ve been observing this stream since I was little. I am able to determine what kind of movements the fish here is going to take.

Instead of staring fixedly at the fish in the water, I stare blankly at the whole stream as if overlooking it.

Moreover, I continue to weaken my presence so I can blend in with nature.

A fish is a creature that is surprisingly sensitive to its surroundings after all. If you make you’re presence weaker like this then it will make the fish let down their guards.

「……invisibility」

「Ara, amazing. I lost sight of him for a moment even though I was close」

「His eyes look like the eyes of a strangled fish」

I feel like I heard a rude comment from nearby but I ignored it.

The fish would run away if I were to shout right now. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I slowly lower my arm toward the direction the small fish are swimming leisurely.

Perhaps the fish didn’t notice my presence since they didn’t escape and swim to my palm.

After I carefully move my arm so it won’t make my arm come into the fish’s line of sight, I immediately raise my arm.

「Look, I caught it」

「Uwaaa! Al, amazinーg!」

Looking at the fish - jumping up and down on my palm as if they got surprised -, Ra-chan happily raises her voice.

「Give me your hand」

「Un」

Ra-chan obediently put out both of her hands and I moved the fish on my palm to hers.

And when I added a little bit of water at the same time, Ra-chan poked the small fish with a smile on her face.

「Amazing, I also want to try! How can I catch them like Al? Can you do it if you make your eyes like a dead fish?」

Wait a minute, Ra-chan. That way of saying is very bad you know.

「No, I guess you won’t be able to do it even if you make those eyes. This is something where you need experience, I guess」

「I seeー」

「But, even Ra-chan can easily catch them if you use magic, you know?」

To show Ra-chan, I created a water ball using the water within the range where the fish are swimming.

And then, I was able to catch five small fish at once.

「Mu, chantless. Alfried-sama is very good at magic」

Seeing my magic, Ra-chan’s maid said as though she was impressed.

How about this now?  I thought Ra-chan would be happy after I showed her, but her expression became unhappy instead.

「……I can’t, use Water magic」

Ra-chan quietly said with her lips pursed.

That was right. Ra-chan’s attributes are Non-attribute and Wind magic. From Ra-chan’s perspective, the magic I used just now may have seemed like I was boasting about my magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I can normally use all attributes of magic so I didn’t take that face into consideration.

「Then, you can use the non-attribute magic, Psychic」

「Manipulating water using Psychic?」

「That’s not it. Use a little thing」

「Thing?」

I take out a handkerchief from my pocket in front of the parroting Ra-chan. And after I spread it out, I use Psychic on it and sink it into the water.

「After that we just raise the handkerchief when the fish had swum on top of the handkerchief」

「Amazing! You caught the fish with a handkerchiefー!」

Ra-chan shouts in surprise as she looks at the fish jumping up and down *pichipichi* on the handkerchief.

「It’s like net fishing」

「Fishing?」

Ra-chan looked curious, maybe she never seen someone fishing before.

「When you catch fish in a large river or the sea, you catch the fish by using a net」

「Heeー! Did Al copied that?」

「That’s right. I was wondering if I could make my everyday life easier. You can surprisingly do a lot of things with just Psychic alone, as long as you have a flexible way of thinking」

「Like when you find opening the door troublesome or when it’s too annoying to get up and get some things!」

As expected from Ra-chan. It looks like the correct method of using magic immediately came to her mind.

「Right right! Also there is something interesting, there is also a method to open a locked door with Psychic」

「What’s that! How can I do it!?」

「U, umm, Alfried-sama. Teaching Ranna-sama such a strange thing is a bit.......」

Even though I was just teaching Ra-chan about magic, I was warned by her maid-san for some reason. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
