The Height Of Corruption

After successfully getting the juice and snacks using Psychic, we moved to my room.



「Is there any book you want to read?」



My goal today is to relax and read a book, so I take Ra-chan to the bookshelves and ask her to choose.

Ra-chan intently stared at the books on the shelf. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「Does Al have a recommendation for me?」

「How about 『Servory’s Daily Life サーボリーの日常』? It can become a reference since it writes about the mindset of spending your time leisurely or how to skip things. There are some excuses Ra-chan can use to skip your lessons or tea parties.....」

「I’ll read that!」



And when I brought up some examples of how to specifically use them, Ra-chan was hooked.



「U, umm, letting Ranna-sama read such a strange book is.....」

「Calling it ‘a strange book’ is rude」



It’s as if I was trying to instill some strange knowledge into Ra-chan, don’t you think?



「I will read this!」

「Why did you show an interest in such a book of all things!? Look, there is the Dunfrey’s Adventure series here! This is a popular book even in the royal capital――」

「Servory is good!」



Loretta desperately makes a presentation to Ra-chan, but it seems like she has already made up her mind as she hugs the book Servory’s Daily Life.

Loretta is astonished to see such a Ra-chan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「Even though she usually doesn’t show the slightest interest in reading.....」

「It’s difficult for children to show interest in books. How about using this opportunity to make her like reading?」



Even if there is a slight negative feeling in it, it’s a good thing to be interested in books.

One will have logical thinking and be able to select pieces of information when they start to read from a young age.

Reading a book is not a bad thing, even if it means deepening your sense of values or knowledge.

And maybe because the author Servory himself found that writing long sentences itself to be troublesome, the writings in the book are very short and easy to read even Ra-chan would be able to read them.



「Tha, that’s right. If this can become an entry point for Ranna-sama to show interest in books……just for an entry point」



Loretta reluctantly allowed it, maybe she agreed with my opinion.



「You can read wherever you like」

「Then, I will read while lying down on the carpetー」

「That’s okay. Do you want to use a Slime pillow as a cushion?」



Since Ra-chan sat on the carpet, I handed her the slime pillow nearby.



「It’s softー」



Ra-chan starts to play with the slime pillow I gave her by touching it.

Ra-chan has already shown a great adaptation to the slime pillow so there is no particular problem.

If you’re going to use a cushion then it’s best to use slime that can change shapes.

I use Ice magic to change the hardness of the slime pillow and then lay my head on it

Then, Ra-chan imitates me and lies down on the pillow. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

And in doing so, one side of her twin tails covered my face.

Her hair is smooth to the touch and smells nice, but it’s a bit ticklish.



「Ah, sorry」

「It’s okay」



I guess she also noticed her hair covered my face Ra-chan brushed it away with her hand.

It must be difficult to take care of her hair if it’s that long. How long does it take to dry, not to mention wash?

Women who maintain their long hair are worthy of respect.

Incidentally, the longer my hair grows the more it shows its curl so I don’t let it grow that long since it’s a hassle to dry.



「What book is Al going to read?」

「I guess I’ll read Dunfrey’s Adventure. There was a new book that came out」



Dunfrey’s Adventure is a series. It mainly describes the adventures in various countries and islands.

What is described in the book seems to be based on reality so just reading it becomes a form of experience.



「Is it interesting?」



When Ra-chan asks me that, Loretta puts silent pressure on me.

I guess she wants me to say it’s interesting to get her interested in other books.



「It’s interesting to learn about different places」

「Hmmー」



However, I guess Ra-chan is currently not too interested in that, so she lay down and started to read Servory’s Daily Life. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Seeing that I also tried to teach her magic, but before that there was something that bothered me.

That Loretta, who is standing by.



「……should Loretta also sit?」

「No, I have my duties as a maid」

「But I won’t feel at ease if you just stand there looking down on me like that……」



Unfortunately, my room is not that big.

From where I’m lying down in the center of the room, even if you just standing by at the edge that makes me feel like being watched.



「If that is the case then I will sit down for a bit」



Then Loreta politely kneels, maybe she finally complied with my request.

However, she picked up the juice bottle we brought with us and started pouring the juice into the cups.



「Wait a sec. I’m going to use that to practice magic so please don’t serve it」

「Ha, haa……」



After I said that, Loretta obediently sat back with a strange expression on her face.

The room finally became quiet. Now we can read the book while practicing magic at leisure.



「Now then, Ra-chan. Reading a book is also a magic practice you know」

「How to do it?」

「Your arm gets tired when holding the book, right? That’s why, you use Psychic to fix the book in place」



Saying that, I used Psychic to make the book float and read it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「See, if you do this your arm won’t get tired because you have to hold the book, right? And if you turn over the pages with Psychic, you can read the book just by moving your eyes」

「It’s true! Al, so smart! I will also do it!」



Excited, Ra-chan immediately begins reading by doing the same thing I did using Psychic.

Ra-chan seems to be having fun with it for a while, but she struggles a little when it comes to turning over the page.



「Muu, it’s difficult to just turn over one page」

「It’s important to wrap your mana into the thin page. Other pages will also be turned over if you do it roughly after all」

「I did it! But, it takes a while to do it」

「You should get familiar with that then. You will be able to do it without even thinking about it if you repeat it many times」

「Okay!」



After Ra-chan replied to me, she continued to immerse herself in the world of the book.

Even though permeating a single thin page with mana is quite difficult, I didn’t expect her to do it so quickly. As to be expected from Shelka’s little sister, a young miss from the noble house of magic.

「I’m thirsty」



Around 10 minutes had passed since we read the book using Psychic.

Ra-chan suddenly stands up and tries to head toward Loretta. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com



「You can’t do that, Ra-chan. If you do that, then there will be no point in using Psychic」

「Eeh?」



It seems like Ra-chan still doesn’t understand the essence of Psychic magic.

So I tell Ra-chan - who looks puzzled by what I said - with a solemn tone.



「The ultimate manner of using Psychic magic is to use it without even taking one step out of your room. As long as you have Psychic, there’s no need to ask someone to do something for you, and you can do what you want with just the smallest movement」



I slowly raise my upper body and use Psychic on the bottle and cup on top of the table.

Opening the lid of the bottle, I pour the content into the cup just like that, and then pull it towards me.

And then, I quenched my thirst with the libra juice.



「See, in this way, you don’t have to take a single step, you can drink without worrying about the timing」

「I see!」



Perhaps she was impressed with the greatness of this magic, Ra-chan purposely returned to where she lay, and then she cast Psychic while sitting down.

And then, she tilted the bottle just like me, poured the juice into the cup, and pulled it towards her.

Moreover, she also opened the lid of the cookie jar, placed them on an empty plate, and brought them closer.

Juice and snacks are prepared right in front of us without moving a single step.



「How is it? Psychic is wonderful, isn’t it?」

「Wonderful!」



Ra-chan nodded at me with the biggest smile on her face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

That’s good to hear. It looks like Ra-chan also realized the greatness of Psychic magic.



「There is a high risk of spilling if you drink juice while lying down, but if it’s something like cookies then you can bring it to your mouth without using your hands with Psychic」



I read the book while lying face down and manipulating the cookies at the same time to bring them to my mouth.

All I have to do is move my eyes and chew the food.



「I’ll do that tooー!」



Then, this splendid student - Ranna - copied my action.



「Wha, what a height of corruption.....」



Seeing how we spend our time perfectly, for some reason Loretta said something rude.



「Now I know what Al told me at the beginning! Magic is meant to make troublesome things easier!」

「That’s right」

As expected from Ra-chan. It looks like she understood the real meaning behind my words in this short span of time.

As long as she understands that, Ra-chan will become less troublesome to deal with in the future. And besides, her magic will also continue to improve. There’s nothing more wonderful than this.



「I feel like what they are saying is correct but it seems like it is also wrong.....aah, what should I explain to Shelka-sama and the family head-sama……」



Eh, I just played using magic with Ra-chan though. Nothing more or nothing less.

Really, Loretta is exaggerating things Let’s give her a warning so she won’t make strange reports later. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
