Gratitude
「……I’m sorry」
An hour later, I was in Gideon in his room visiting him to apologize. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Fortunately, Gideon had just collapsed due to exhaustion and lack of strength due to the misfire of his magic, so there was no danger to his life nor would there be any lasting effects.
But still, an apology is necessary since I made him do something unreasonable.
「……even though the method was like that, I was the one who asked you to teach me chant omission. And it is a fact that I have grasped the clue to the technique so there is no need to apologize 」
'You think so too, right! I just did my best to help Gideon-sama grasp the chant omission technique!' How wonderful would the world be if I could say that out loud?
「Thank you very much for your generous heart」
「If you feel like that then stop talking so exaggeratedly. It feels like you’re making fun of me if you do that」
You know, even back in my previous life, when I talked exaggeratedly like this, people often misunderstood that I tried to agitate them.
I was just trying to show the most respect as hard as I could though.
「Then, something like this is okay, then?」
「Yeah, as long as it is not in public it’s fine」
When I tried to use the previous manner of talking, Gideon nodded seemingly satisfied for some reason. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I really don’t know what these people with high positions were thinking.
「By the way, what is that case on your right hand?」
「Aah, this is spice cookies」
While waiting for Gideon to open his eyes, I borrowed the Misfid house’s kitchen to make some cookies. I thought it would be better if I brought something as a present for visiting him.
「I don’t care what’s inside. I’m wondering about the case itself」
Gideon showed no interest at all even when I showed him the contents, but it looks like he was curious about the case itself.
「Aah, I made the case by processing slime skin」
As I handed the case while explaining it to him, Gideon intently stared at it.
I made it by coincidence while I was making the slime scoop.
It’s light and strong just like a plastic case so it is useful as a decent container.
「……such a lightweight and strong material is ground-breaking. I want more of this」
「I sold them wholesale to Toriela’s company, you may ask them for as much as you need」
「Is that so. I will ask them to come to the mansion later」
When it comes to a Duke’s house, you don’t come to a company’s place but you call them to your place instead.
I feel sorry for Tori since he’s going to be called here later, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing for him to have a connection with the Misfid’s house.
「So, will you give me the magic tool?」
「Although you can not say that I have mastered most of it, I have certainly grasped the clue to the technique. I will allow you to receive the magic tool as a reward」
I did it. With this, I can get Misfid house’s treasured magic tools.
As I was delighted by the result in my mind, Gideon got up from the bed.
「Are you going to guide me there now?」
「No. I am going to train again before I forget the sensation from earlier」
Aah, It’s better to repeat the successful experience from before many times so it will ingrain itself in your body.
As expected from someone from the lineage of Magic Nobles, he seems to have a deep understanding of the trick to mastering magic.
It is impressive he is going to train immediately after he collapsed due to exhaustion.
「Eh? Then, what about my magic tool?」
「I have already talked about it with Father, so you can just get it as you see fit」
I wondered if it was okay to ‘get it as I see fit’, but it seemed like Gideon is absorbed in the chant omission technique and left me behind to head toward the courtyard.
So this means, I will have some talks with Schugel about the magic tool.
I wanted to discuss it with Gideon since he is indifferent about the magic tools, but since he’s so absorbed in his training he probably won’t be able to accompany me for a while. When faced with success in their magic right in front of them, most magicians would often think that anything else besides that is annoying. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hey there, Alfried-dono」
When I left Gideon’s room and came to the third floor, Schugel was sitting on the sofa waiting for me.
「Schugel-sama! Please forgive me for putting such a burden on your son!」
「Don’t worry about that. My son is that kind of person after all」
I apologized for the matter with Gideon collapsing due to the training, but Schugel doesn’t seem to mind it at all. The difference in how the son and daughter are treated may seem pitiful, but no matter what world it is, this is how a father would think of their son.
「Now then, it’s about your reward. I also think of giving you a magic tool as thanks for teaching my son the clue to the chant omission technique」
「Thank you very much」
「Follow me」
Schugel rose from the sofa and started walking down the hallway.
He’s probably guiding me to the room where they store the magic tools.
「Ah! It’s Al and Papaー!」
When we went down the stairs to the first floor, we encountered Ra-chan and her maid attendant, Loretta.
She changed from her dress to wearing everyday clothes that are easier to move in now.
She had probably finished taking a bath and was just about to return to her room.
「What are you doing?」
「Schugel-sama is taking me――」
「Papa is thinking of showing Alfried-dono about Papa’s magic tools!」
I was about to answer Ra-chan’s question, but then Schugel answered with a loud voice as if to cover my answer.
Just how much does he want to talk with his daughter? This ossan.
「Papa’s collection room!? I also want to come!」
「Oohー, sure. Ranna can also come with us」
「Un!」
I guess she wants to follow us since I’m doing something interesting.
There’s no particular reason to reject her so with the addition of Ra-chan and Loretta, the four of us proceeded down the hallway.
「There was something I am curious about, why would Schugel-sama not teach Gideon-sama about chant omission?」
It was unthinkable for a magician of Schugel’s caliber to be unable to use chant omission or chantless magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If that’s so, I think it would have been better for him to teach Gideon himself.
「I tried to teach him in the past, but I just could not teach him well」
「Does chant omission and chantless magic depend largely on the individual’s talent and sense?」
So far, the people I have taught chant omission and chantless magic techniques are Elna-kaasan, Ra-chan, and Gideon. The thing those three shared in common is their outstanding magic talent.
「There are still many aspects that can not be explained, but I believe those are also the main factors」
Schugel also doesn’t seem to be convinced of this.
Setting chant omission technique aside, there are few magicians who can use magic chantlessly.
There might simply be not enough data though.
「Alfried-dono was able to teach two people such an intuitive technique. Doesn’t it look like you have the talent for teaching students magic?」
「You jest. Ranna-sama and Gideon-sama were just exceptionally talented」
Even if I didn’t teach those two, they will eventually be able to reach that level since they are talented enough.
I don’t have the intention to be arrogant and think I’m the one who taught them.
As we had such a trivial conversation like that, we arrived at the back of the first floor’s mansion.
「It is up ahead」
After Schugel opened the heavy iron door, it led to a stone staircase beyond that.
Apparently, the magic tools are stored in the basement of the mansion.
There are magic tools placed on the walls as lighting, and when Schugel poured some mana into it, the lights gradually lit up in response.
I continue to follow behind Schugel as we proceed down the staircase with sharp, echoing footsteps.
There are magic tools placed in a row as lighting on the wall, they keep lighting our path.
Lighting magic tools are not that expensive, but each lighting magic tool placed on the wall has a different design.
Probably there are no magic tools that are the same.
Although they are inexpensive, when it comes to custom-made magic tools like these, they will still cost a fair amount of money.
It makes me realize once again about the Misfid house’s financial power. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
