The Ideal Indulgent Noble

「Now then, I now understand you can control the doll with basic human movements from the earlier action.  The next step is how you can improve the quality of those movements and whether you are challenging yourself with move difficult movements」

「Yes」

 Now that we’ve praised Tickle, it is now time to address areas of improvement for her. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Even just walking, the way the doll walks will change the character. For example, this noble lady’s doll――」

「It’s Angela」

 When I called it ‘doll’, Gregor immediately corrected me so I corrected myself.

「Excuse me. The noble lady Angela. Since it’s a noble’s lady then she has to walk and greet just like how a noble lady would」

 I’ve explained this before using Torr and Asmo as examples, but the current movements made by Tickle only replicate the general movements of a human, and they do not capture the character Angela possesses.

 It’s the feminine and a lady’s movements.

 I cast Psychic on Angela to show her an example.

 After my mana spread inside the doll, I slowly make it stand up and pick up the edge of the doll’s skirt and bow gracefully.

 After the bow, Angela started walking with graceful movements.

「Wuu, as expected there’s a world’s difference with mine」

「Don’t feel down Tickle! If you firmly burn these movements into your mind you can replicate it!」

「Tha, that’s right!」

 It is improper for noble ladies to run around the place so they rarely do so, but in order to let Tickle replicate the movements, I made the doll grip its skirt tightly while making it run.

 After running, the doll lowered its skirt slowly then sat down on a bench and smoothed out her skirt so there wouldn’t be any creases, put her hands on her chest as if to calm her ragged breathing.

「As expected from Alfried-sama!」

「Angela, you have better manners than me!」

「……Ranna-sama, that was not something you say with pride」

 After I was done controlling the doll, Tickle and Ra-chan clapped their hands.

 Loretta couldn’t help but make a retort, but let’s pretend I didn’t hear it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「To make such graceful movements, should I take lessons in manners?」

「Right. The best way to get a deep understanding of it will be to actually learn it」

「Tickle, I will ask Mother to teach you manners once we get back to the mansion」

「Ye, yes! I would appreciate it if you could!」

「After that to easily capture the atmosphere, you can try to make it take small steps when walking and slowing down each movement to make ladylike movements」

「Thank you very much! I will try !」

「Al! I also want to try moving doll-san!」

 Just as Tickle started practicing, Ra-chan jumped up and asserted herself.

「Then, which doll should we use I wonder……」

「Usappi is good!」

 As I was troubled over the colorful doll to choose in the room, Ra-chan pointed at Usappi.

 It’s difficult to control dolls of a creature or monster I have never seen before, but Ra-chan is really eager about it so I guess it’s fine.

「Then, let’s try controlling Usappi shall we? Gregor, can I borrow Usappi?」

「Of course!」

「Can you cast Psychic on Usappi, Ra-chan?」

「Un! 『Psychic』」

 After receiving permission from Gregor, Ra-chan cast Psychic on Usappi.

「Try making it walk slowly, paying attention to each of its four limbs」

「Un」

 Usappi is a monster that walks on four legs so the center of gravity is different from humans, it is thus difficult to make the Usappi doll walk. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 First, we need to overcome that and see if we can recreate the way Usappi walks.

 Ra-chan uses Psychic on Usappi and slowly makes it walk.

 The four legs move with small quick steps forward. However, the moving rhythms seemed to have gone disconnected as the Usappi doll fell forward as though stumbling.

「Aaahh! Usappiiー!?」

「The legs got entangled. Shall we try again?」

 Using Psychic to lift it up and return it to its previous state, she began to control the mana and make the doll move once more.

 However, this time, Usappi’s front left leg and left hind leg moved at the same time, causing it to lose balance and fall to the left.

「I, it’s difficult……」

「It’s surprisingly difficult you know」

 I guess she must have thought that it would be simple. Ra-chan continue challenging it again while looking slightly fired up.

 But, Usappi fell for the third, fourth, and fifth times, and the results were the same.

 Usappi hasn’t advanced from its original position at all.

「How can I make it move skillfully?」

「You have to adjust your mana even more」

「How much?」

 It is difficult to quantify one own mana and others’ mana.

 As for why, that’s because my mana and Ra-chan’s quantity and output of mana are different.

「Enough to move one leg smoothly」

 I cast Psychic on Usappi and only control Usappi’s front right leg, slowly moving it forward one centimeter at a time. Anyway, I just move it slowly and smoothly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Waa, so small!」

「There’s no need to reach this level, but you have to spread your mana into the doll in such a small and precise amount like this to control it」

 Right now, Ra-chan’s mana control precision is only around five centimeters of movement.

 If you only use it to do things like opening the door or lifting items, then this much precision is enough, but manipulating dolls requires a more delicate mana manipulation.

 Since Usappi can’t make delicate movements of just one or three centimeters its legs collide with each other, ending up losing its balance.

 Ra-chan needs to be able to master delicate magic manipulation skills in order to handle smaller units.

「How should I master a delicate mana manipulation technique?」

「You need to steadily train in mana manipulation. Like spreading your mana thinly over your whole body, trying to wrap only your fingertips with mana, or using Psychic on multiple objects」

「Was Tickle also good at this from the start?」

「N, noo! It took me a whole day to make the doll stand up! From there, I followed the menu Alfried-sama told me, and was finally able to make the doll walk after two months!」

「It takes that long!」

「No, that is because I do not have that much talent in magic so it takes time……」

「That’s not true. I’ve gathered a number of puppeteers but Tickle was the one improving the fastest and most skillfully. There’s no need to belittle yourself like that」

「Thank you very much. Just by you saying that alone makes me happy. Gregor-sama」

 Maybe it’s because of what I said earlier, Gregor immediately followed up with praise.

 It’s not good to overdo it, but since Gregor tends to be somewhat lacking in words in those areas, being a bit more mindful might be just about right.

「Well, it’s going to be that difficult of a process, do you want to try it?」

「I’ll do it! I want to be able to move Usappi!」

「Okay. Then first, let’s learn to move ten pieces of items with Psychic」

「I’ll try!」

 The room happened to have a cutlery box inside so we borrowed spoons and forks from there.

 Handing them over to Ra-chan, she cast Psychic on them and made them float in the air.

 Ten pieces of tableware floating around Ra-chan.

「This one on the upper right and the two spoons, also the lower left fork are shaking. Spread your mana so they can properly maintain their even position」

「Muuー」

 When I pointed out the unstable points, Ra-chan spread her mana into those points to stabilize them despite slightly pouting.

「This time the spoon in the upper left is shaking you know」

「Againー!」

 When you pay attention to one side, you will end up neglecting another side.

 It is difficult to move multiple objects with Psychic.

 I asked Loretta to change places with me to judge whether the tablewares were even or not.

 When I took a seat to rest, Bastian brought me some freshly brewed tea

 This is just in time since I’ve said a lot of things as I was thirsty. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Ra-chan is concentrating on maintaining her Psychic and Tickle is slowly manipulating Angela.

 While the two of them were practicing seriously, only Gregor and I were free.

「Although I’m a little worried only now, is it really all right for Gregor to move about since you’re the lord of a territory?」

 Although I’m the one encouraging him to motivate him, I can’t help but worry about seeing him bustling about to various places, being engrossed in the business of the puppet show.

「It’s fine. In addition to my Mother and Father being there, I have also mostly left the usual domestic affairs to the acting administrator」

 He immerses himself in his hobbies and leaves the troublesome domestic affairs of his territory to his excellent subordinates.

 How wonderful is that? This is the ideal indulgent noble.

 I didn’t think that the embodiment of my ideal noble life was this close to me.

「That’s great, huh」

「But I will get scolded if I get too absorbed in dolls and neglect my responsibility as a noble. I’m still attending parties and doing my duties at the bare minimum」

 Let’s also leave all the troublesome work to my excellent subordinates if I were to assist Sylvio-niisan in governing Koryatt village in the future.

 As I was absentmindedly thinking like that, Gregor began to fidget.

 It’s natural to be concerned about it if an ojisan with such a large build and frightening look fidgeting like that.

「What’s the matter?」

「If you have the time, could you please manipulate the dolls for me? I want to see the dolls moving in this inn!」

 When I asked him what was the matter, Gregor made an earnest request with flushed cheeks.

 It’s hard to refuse when he asks so directly.

 Still, I just have some free time right now so I did as Gregor asked me and manipulated some dolls to satisfy him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
