The Two's Obsession

「……umm, Alfried-sama. Should we play the kick target now?」


Thirty minutes have already passed since we started the throwing target. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Perhaps Eleonora-neesan’s group had been satisfied with the throwing target, so they moved to the kick target.

The throwing target is more familiar to the villagers, and it is also popular among them. Even while we occupy this throwing target, the number of people queuing up is increasing.

It is also time for us to move to the kick target.



「Wait a minute. Just one. I will stop after I take out one board」



Of course, Alicia probably also notices my intention, but she still wants to stay here.

For the last 30 minutes, Alicia had only shot through 1 board. It might take another 30 minutes for her to take out another board.

Ra-chan is already satisfied since she took out all the boards and her interest is now on Eric and the others who are playing the Kick Target. I guess it’s only a matter of time until she gets tired of waiting.



「Number 5!」



Alicia silently picks up a ball and throws it at the target.

There is nothing more to criticize, I guess it’s because she saw Eleonora-neesan’s throwing form and since she has accumulated more experience after repeated trial and error of her form.

However, the ball still didn’t hit board number 5, it took out board number 2 above it instead.



「Congratulations! You excellently shot through it!」

「As expected from Alicia-sama!」



She managed to shoot through the board completely now, so she should be done. Such joy also springs up among us as praises come out of my - and Loretta - ‘s mouth.

Alicia’s expression loosened for an instant - I guess she was also happy she managed to take out the board -, but she immediately frowned. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「Noー, I did not manage to take out my aimed board, so it is not counted」



The moment Alicia said that line, Loretta and I shouted 「Ehー」 inside.

Loretta also didn’t say it, but I know just from looking at her face.

It’s certainly not the board she aimed at, but it’s the truth that she managed to take out 1 board.

Even though it manages to calm her so I can try to suggest going to the kick target next, Alicia still receives the ball Lim gave her while having a serious expression on her face.

I realized it the moment I saw that Alicia.

――aah, this person is hopeless.

I often saw that kind of serious expression when I watched Eleonora-neesan during practice.

When Eleonora-neesan can’t make a certain move, she will continue to persist stubbornly and move until she can make a satisfying move even a little without giving up.

Alicia’s expression is exactly the same as Eleonora-neesan’s expression at that time.

I’m sure that even if others try to tell her to stop, she will continue to do it until she can get a result that she can be satisfied with.

Even Alicia who is able to do everything flawlessly and accomplished in both literary and martial arts is putting in an effort to do it perfectly like this.

I learned about that side of Alicia while spending our time together at the Harvest Festival.

Even so, this is a game. I think it will be fine to just have fun even if you don’t do it perfectly, but I understand from knowing Alicia’s personality that it will be pointless even if I were to say that.

Then I guess I have no other choice but to keep her company until she can do it perfectly. It’s also terrible to just leave Alicia here alone while Ra-chan and I go to the kick target.

The least I can do now is to entertain Ra-chan so that she doesn’t get bored.

I call out Ra-chan, who is staring at the kick target. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「Ra-chan, why don’t you play the throwing target with me again? But this time, we are using magic」

「Eh, with magic? How do you play it?」



I guess it’s thanks to the keyword ‘using magic’ that Ra-chan’s interest shifts toward me.

I knew it, as expected from the magic noble house, it looked like she loved magic. She immediately jumped at it.



「This time we are not using our hand to throw the ball, but we use Psychic to throw and take out the boards」



I feel sorry for borrowing another target just so Ra-chan and I can relieve ourselves from boredom, so I make a new target using Earth magic in an empty space.

I was the one who taught Elman and the others about throwing targets after all. I drew the blueprint and the construction in detail so this much is easy.

Just that, it is easier for us to hit the target using magic rather than using our physical strength.

Since it doesn’t make any sense to throw the ball using the same distance as using our hands, I set up the distance to be around 30 meters at first.

After measuring the sense of distance to the target with my naked eyes, I used Psychic to make the ball that had fallen nearby float.



「……number 5」



I said the number of boards I aimed at and sent the ball flying with Psychic.

When the ball rapidly accelerates with a *gyun* sound, the ball then reaches the target in about 1 second.

The board number 5 that was created using Earth magic was shot through. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「E, ehh? I could barely see the trajectory of the ball, but......?」



Loretta muttered something while being stunned.

After the passing of autumn, it becomes winter, and the snow falls.

When it becomes winter, the season for snowball fights will arrive in Koryatt village.

I won’t be able to compete against the strong men of the village and Eleonora-neesan in the snowball fight as long as I don’t have such accuracy and speed as the snowball just now.

This much technique is necessary. If you were about to go to school and become a magician like Shelka then this much should be even more necessary.



「How is it? It’s something like this, but can Ra-chan be able to do that?」

「Mmー, I never shot this far so I don’t know! But, that looks interesting I’ll try!」



Un un, having a challenging attitude is a good thing.

Returning the shot through-board to its original position with Psychic, I collected the scattered balls nearby and passed the baton to Ra-chan.



「『I ask thee　Follow my will Telekinesis [Psychic]』!」




I felt like it’s been a while since I heard someone chanting, I guess it’s because there are few people around me who could chant and use magic.

After Ra-chan put all the ball under her control, she made it float in front of her.

Then, she measures the distance of the target in the distance by staring hard at them.

It is surprisingly hard to shoot an object far away from you using magic so grasping the sense of distance toward the object is important. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「……hmーm, something like this? Number 5!」



Muttering like that, Ra-chan sends the ball flying with Psychic.

The ball continues to fly straight as it accelerates splendidly. However, I guess the mana put into the ball or maybe the image was not enough while on the way, the ball’s speed weakened. Furthermore, perhaps it’s also due to the air’s resistance that the ball gradually strays from its path to the left and falls 5 meters in front of the target.



「Ahー! It doesn’t reach it at all and it also missed the target!」



Even if it’s like that, a four-year-old kid still managed to send an object flying for over 20 meters. That is amazing enough.



「It looks like it’s a bit far, shall we get closer then?」

「No! Al did it from here, I will also do it from here!」



Ra-chan was satisfied with the result when she threw the ball by hand from afar, even if it didn’t reach the target.

However, when it comes to magic it looks like she doesn’t want to obediently back down. I guess she was overly concerned with anything to do with magic, huh?

Having such a spirit to improve herself is important, so I decided to respect her decision and not say anything else.

Ra-chan shoots the ball with Psychic with a serious expression on her face.

But, the ball fell before reaching the target like before.

And while tilting her head, Ra-chan shoots the next ball indifferently and repeatedly attempts trial-and-error-shooting.

Next to her is Alicia who is throwing her ball while checking her form.

I wonder where the pleasant atmosphere we first had went to?



「I was planning to have a casual game with everyone, but even Ra-chan became so serious......」

「That is because Ranna-sama hates losing when it comes to magic」



Loretta-san answered while smiling wryly at my complaint. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I was just thinking that it would be nice for everyone to have a cheerful moment and have fun though.

The two of them didn’t seem to want to stop for some reason, so I decided to follow up with those two by using Psychic to gather the balls and return the boards to their place. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
