Chapter 85 the scent of Magic　

While lying on the bed, I fell asleep and a few hours later,
There was *don don* noise of someone hitting the door to which I woke up.

“Yuma-san, it’s almost time for dinner so please get up soon”

Hmm, it’s that time already?
Looking outside the window, it was certainly quite dark.
Somehow I seem to have slept for quite some time.
Now then, I should get up soon.
I forced my body up from the bed sleepily, and opened the door to the room.

“Sorry, Sorry, Sorry Sari, I was in a deep sleep”

When I said so, Sari blushed,

“No no, it is a good thing that you had a good rest. But still, Yuma-san was really deep in sleep. I was able to hear your snoring even outside the room. I was quite perplexed on how to wake you up for quite a while.”

Ho~, somehow when I was sleeping, I seemed to have been snoring quite loudly. This is embarra.s.sing, but I can’t help snoring anyway.
When I was thinking about such a silly thing, Sari,

“Then, back to the important matter, it’s almost time for dinner so please come down quickly Yuma-san. Iguru-san and Mirisu-chan are waiting for you at the table.”

Saying so, Sari returned to the Dining hall.
Then, According to what Sari just said, today it’s not just Iguru but also Minarisu-san at the table.
Then I should hurry over there, thinking so I lightly groomed my hair and dress up before heading towards the dining room.

Then,

“Oi! Yuma over here, come over here quicklyy~”

Hmm, Iguru seems to be trembling as little. He seems to be still traumatized about the lighting incident. Well~ that was Iguru’s own fault, so I can’t feel any sympathy towards that.
Thinking such, I walk towards the table where Minarisu-san and Iguru were seated and sat down as well.

“Iguru, Mirisu-san, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

When I said so,

“Seriously YUMA! How late can you possibly be! How long do you think I had to sit with this Ba-san (loli Baba)”

The moment Iguru said Ba-san,
I might have just imagined this, but something like a Miniature lighting from Minarisu-san struck Iguru.

“Oy Hentai Kid, who are you calling Ba-san (loli-Baba)?”

“Hiiiiiiii~, please forgive me Minarisu-sama!! Also, please don’t call me Hentai Kid”

And then Iguru made a splendid dogeza to apologize. Just how scared are you of Minarisu-san to go to that extent. Soon after that the three of us, Iguru, Minarisu-san and I had Dinner together.

“Come to think of it Yuma yo~, you’re going to be going to the Golem Mountains range tomorrow no~”

Ooh she seems to be informed.
Well~ she must have heard it from Iguru or Sari,

“That’s right. I shall be leaving on a Nominated Request tomorrow.”

“Hmm, Nominated Request huh. If you were alone then it wouldn’t have been a problem. But it’s not that easy when it’s an escort request. It is quite difficult to fight while protecting someone. The key is not be afraid”

“Understood. I shall make sure to keep calm.”

When I confidently declared so, Minarisu-san started to laugh,

“Hmm, I’m sorry to have made you worry so much ja~. Well~ but since it’s you, you can probably keep your calm while defending and attacking while protecting your Client. The only problem would be the Golems but since you can also use magic, I guess there are no problems with that as well.”

“That’s right….wait, who told Mirisu-san that I can use magic?”

When I asked that question, Minarisu-san,

“Nope no-one did. But, I can feel the scent of Magic on you. And there’s quite a lot as well.”

Hmm, the scent of magic huh.

“If you’re familiar with Magic to a certain extent, then you should be able to perceive the smell of Magic as well.”

I see.
Then I guess I can’t do it yet. I don’t know anything about magic after all.

“I see, then, I guess it’s impossible for me since I am an amateur when it comes to magic.”

And then Minarisu-san spoke in a low voice such that only I could hear,

“That’s a little unbelievable. Then, you possess such an enormous amount of mana while still having an amateur’s level of knowledge of magic?”

“Yes, that is exactly right”

“Hmm, this seems to be same case as that of Kuroda no~”

Oops, I did not expect Kuroda-san’s name to come in a situation like this. But, this also means that kuroda was in the same situation as me. I feel like I’m the same way.
And then, Minarisu-san stopped there

“Alright, Yuma yo~. I shall teach you magic after you return from the Golem Mountains Range Escort Request.”

Oh, thank you for that. I don’t really know any Live-battle applications for Magic, but it wouldn’t hurt to learn. And moreover, if Minarisu-san is the one who will be teaching Magic, then I would be able to see how she fights, probably…….

After that, the three of us finished dinner in a few minutes, and the 3 of us returned to our respective rooms, I returned to my room and lied down on the bed as usual.

“Fuu~, I’m filled”

Sari’s cooking was as delicious as ever. But I feel bad now since I won’t be able to eat her cooking for a few days.

Well, I guess the escort request starts tomorrow. After that it would be magic training with Minarisu-san.
Hmm, it looks like my days are going to get much busier.

“Alright, for now I should go to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.”

Thinking so, I closed my eyes, and entered the realm of sleep.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The day of the Nominated Request.

I got up a little earlier than usual and had my breakfast alone. Ho~, it seems that Iguru has yet to wake up. Hmm, I feel a bit lonely now, but eating breakfast alone once in a while is good. Then, while I was eating breakfast alone, Sari came over, sat at the seat opposite to me and started to talk,

“Yuma-san, how is the breakfast today?”

“Ah, as usual it very delicious”

“Really! Then that’s good!”

After that I enjoyed speaking to Sari while having breakfast.
Well I did say that eating breakfast alone was nice, but it’s definitely better when eating along with someone.

After eating breakfast, as I was getting ready to leave I called out to Sari,

“Sari, I think it’s almost time for me leave”

“Yuma-san, please be careful. Then I shall leave Risa in your hands”

“Ah, don’t worry about. Risa and I shall return quickly. Then, I’m off”

And so, I leave from Zinnia.

And then I walked towards the gate where we had decided to meet.
The gate came into view after a few minutes as I walked. Apparently Risa has yet to arrive.
And at the gate, as usual I spoke with the Gatekeeper while waiting for Risa to arrive.
A few minutes later, I saw Risa with huge baggage walking on the road towards me.
And then,

“Haa~ Haa~, Yuma-san, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Risa, who had arrived at the gates, was completely out of breath. As I thought that bag seems to be really heavy

“It’s fine. I arrived just a couple a minutes ago. Moreover Risa, isn’t all that baggage really heavy? If it’s fine with you then I could put that into my Item box?”

This made Risa pretty happy,

“Really!? It would be amazing if you would do so”

I took the baggage from Risa and stored it in the Item box. I also checked if Risa’s baggage was really heavy and it was really heavy. I didn’t have much problem with it, but it seemed to be quite hard for Risa.

The Baggage problem was solved, and since the two of were already gathered, we went out of the gate. Then, it was almost time to start. Oops, I completely forgot to ask Risa about it.

“Hey Risa, what do you feel about a princess carry?”

When I asked that of Risa, her face turned Red,

“Ehh, so-so- suddenly. Ah-um, although I do wish to try it, but as I thought it is really a little embarra.s.sing.”

Ah, I get it, I get it now. So that means it’s fine.

Then I should quickly do it.

I grabbed Risa’s arms and then held her in a princess carry.

Then Risa’s face turned red,

“Hyaaa~~! Yuma-kun? That’s embarra.s.sing!”

Hmm, it’s cute to see a normal child fidgeting so much.

Well~ let’s leave it at that.

“Risa, make sure to hold onto me firmly so that you don’t fall, otherwise, it will dangerous, understood?”

“Yuma-kun, what are you going to do!? And what was that part about something being dangerous!?”

Risa was still confused. Although she was confused, she made sure to hold onto me tightly.
Yes, as I thought, her chest really is huge. Oh no I seem to be thinking about something dangerous.

“Alright Risa, I’ll explain briefly. I will hold Risa like this and run all the way, OK?”

“That was too brief! Explain properly!”

Even if you ask me to tell you about it in more detail, I really don’t have much to explain.
Ok, Risa is holding onto me properly, then, I shall depart now.

“Ok, the explanation has ended already, we are leaving now.”

So I said to Risa, then I started to run at high speed.
Alright, wait for me, Golem Mountains Range.
