Psychic In The Kitchen
「Eh? Al, we’re not going to your room?」
I guess it’s because we’re not heading to the second floor where my room is, Ra-chan tilted her head in confusion. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「First we’re going to get the necessary things in order to be able to spend a comfortable time in my room」
「Necessary things?」
「Just by being alive, humans get thirsty and hungry, right?」
When I ask her that, Ra-chan thinks for a while, and then her eyes open wide as if she realizes it.
「Maybe, juice and sweets!」
「That’s right」
Those are important items to make your relaxing time more colorful.
Thorough preparation is important in everything, and whether you can do it or not will change the ‘density’ of the time spent.
Even so, Ra-chan also understands it, doesn’t she? If she can understand this, then it is safe to say that she might have the talent to live a comfortable slow life.
「But, this time we’re going to practice magic so we won’t get them normally, alright」
「Then, how?」
「You use Psychic to take them without being discovered by the chef, Bartolo」
「What’s that! That’s sound interesting!」
Ra-chan’s sparkling eyes and Loretta furrowing her eyebrows were symmetrical.
「Right? Still, the best way to improve your magic is to use it continuously 」
「I, is that so?」
Loretta tilts her head but at least that’s what I thought. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As we continue to walk while chatting like that, we finally arrive at the kitchen.
Peeking into the kitchen, it seems like Bartolo is cooking.
He’s probably making the meals for our maids and also the maids and servants brought by Alicia.
A fragrant smell hangs in the kitchen.
Normally it will only be for three people, but now the number of servants temporarily staying in the Slowlett’s house has increased so it’s tough for Bartolo.
Hurriedly moving around in the kitchen, stir-frying ingredients in the frying pan, and preparing the vegetables.
「……Al, what should we take?」
Despite the serious atmosphere inside the kitchen, Ra-chan shows no sign of timidity and asks me with an excited expression on her face.
That’s quite the courage she has.
「There is Libra juice inside the refrigerator. And I want the box of cookies on the cupboard」
「Those two right」
Ra-chan nods while her eyes already changed as if she confirmed her prey.
The most difficult thing would be to get the Libra juice out from inside the refrigerator.
First, the first hurdle is to open the refrigerator’s door using Psychic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Just opening it alone is easy, but it is important to open it swiftly so Bartolo won’t find out. If you make the slightest mistake, the refrigerator will make a clicking sound so we should be careful.
The next hurdle after that is taking the bottles containing the Libra juice.
The inside of the refrigerator was constructed in such a way that the bottles inside wouldn’t fall or spill over so it required a degree of control to tilt them slightly.
It’s important to complete it all swiftly so Bartolo will not notice.
「I will show you how to do it first」
While Bartolo is absorbed in the frying pan, I use Psychic on the cupboard.
Then, the cupboard’s door opened without a sound and I took two cups of juice and a plate of cookies.
After closing the cupboard’s door without a sound, I manipulate them to come here while keeping away from Bartolo’s line of sight.
「Wh, what a waste of magic skill……」
「Amazing, Al!」
「Well, something like this. I think it’s quite difficult but try it first. I mean, even if you fail and get found out, Bartolo won’t get angry at you」
「Okay!」
Ra-chan cleverly nodded and quietly directed her gaze to the inside of the kitchen.
Right. First, it’s important to grasp Bartolo’s movement.
But still, it would be difficult for Ra-chan - who never cooked before - to predict Bartolo’s next move when cooking, but you can understand some parts just by watching alone.
「…………」
When it comes to things related to magic, her innocent expression vanishes and Ra-chan’s expression turns serious, unlike the usual 4-year-old kid’s expression.
That’s an amazing power of concentration. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
She observes Bartolo like that for 3 minutes.
Then Ra-chan slowly holds out her right hand toward the refrigerator.
「『I ask thee follow my will telekinesis Psychic!』」
As she chants with a whisper, mana starts to enter the refrigerator and the door slowly opens.
Bartolo is currently absorbed in serving the stir-fried food onto a plate from the frying pan and didn’t notice it.
It’s probably because there was no sound and she was able to open the door silently.
And just like that, Ra-chan moves on toward the second hurdle, moving the juice bottle.
Maybe because it’s difficult to take out the bottle at an angle from inside the refrigerator, it looks like Ra-chan is struggling to control it a bit.
The bottle inside the refrigerator makes a slight sound rubbing against something, but Bartolo still hasn’t noticed it yet.
Despite having a bit grim expression on her face, but Ra-chan still tried to take the bottle out with Psychic somehow.
This delicate manipulation is difficult. However, I think this is the best way to improve the precision of magic manipulation.
「I did it!」
When I was watching over her, Ra-chan succeeded in taking out the bottle - despite the fact that the bottle rubbed against other things inside the refrigerator.
But, at that moment Bartolo finished arranging the food on the plate and he saw the refrigerator.
Knowing that, I immediately cast Psychic and rewrite Ra-chan Psychic, put the bottle away, and closed the refrigerator’s door.
「……Al?」
「Sorry, Ra-chan. But, Bartolo was about to find out」
Ra-chan looks at me as if she doesn’t believe what happened, but this is important without being found out by Bartolo. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I see. So we can’t do it slowly. Okay. I will do it faster like Al」
Guess Ra-chan understood my meaning when I explained the reason, she was eager to continue without being discouraged.
It seems like it’s a good thing I showed her the technique of how I manipulated the items swiftly.
It feels nostalgic since I saw this kind of determination to compete in magic from Aleutia and Ilya.
「『I ask thee follow my will telekinesis Psychic!』」
Just as I was thinking deeply and feeling moved, Ra-chan cast Psychic and challenged it once more.
When Bartolo was frying new ingredients, she opened the refrigerator and tried to take out the bottle again.
Although she was struggling a little, she succeeded in taking the bottle out quicker than before.
However, Bartolo then shows an unexpected action.
「……should I add a little more seasonings?」
Bartolo - who was moving the frying pan - moved near the refrigerator to get seasonings as though he was suddenly struck with an idea.
It’s his bad habit of suddenly trying to add a small touch and wanting to make some changes when he is cooking.
Ra-chan - who was opening the refrigerator door - immediately reacted and hid the bottle in the back of the refrigerator and closed the refrigerator door.
However, perhaps she lost control due to impatient because of Bartolo’s sudden action, the refrigerator’s door made a loud *patan* sound.
「Hm?」
You will be bothered if you suddenly hear the sound of the refrigerator door closing when you’re the only one in the kitchen.
Bartolo makes a skeptical voice and turns to look toward the refrigerator. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Ra-chan has a nervous look on her face. She seems to be praying so that she won’t be found out, but that is too naive.
As long as the other party becomes aware of it, you should just distract him in another direction.
I cast Psychic and drop the small spoon on the kitchen counter.
Then a metallic sound of something falling resounds in the kitchen and Bartolo’s attention is completely diverted.
「Ahー, I shouldn’t have put it on the edge」
Bartolo then picked up the seasonings, and the small spoon and then began to wash it as though he found it annoying.
「There, now you pull it over here and also get the cookies」
「U, un」
When I said that, the nervous Ra-chan started to move again and pulled the box of cookies from the cupboard and the bottle of juice over.
After getting what we needed we quickly evacuated.
「How was it?」
「Really, really fun! Also, I can practice my magic!」
Ra-chan said excitedly when I asked her after we left the kitchen.
「Right? You should try it when you get back home」
「Un, I’ll do it!」
「H, hmmー, should I stop her as her attendant? But, when it comes to magic practice it is quite something......」
While Ra-chan and I were having such a conversation, Loretta- who was nearby - muttered looking anxious. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Thanks for the chapters!!😉
