Chapter 168: New Method Of Using Psychic

In the end, I cut the ice using Wind magic, and then tossed them all outside with Psychic.

But, there’s nothing I can do about the ice between the floor and door, so I removed it by melting them using Fire magic and took them out using Water magic.

The morning exchange between me and Elna-kaasan ended with a fruitless result of the door to the hallway turning wet.

ThenElna-kaasan grabbed myhand, and head toward the dining room on the first floor from the second floor.

「Ah! Wait it hurts! Elna-kaasan, you walk fast! My whole body hurts!」

「Ara, is that so?」

「No no, I told you before, you should realize it!?」

Even when I complain about the pain, Elna-kaasan only smiles gently, ignoring me.

This Mother of mine, she’s enjoying the fact that I’m having sore muscles.

「Ara? The door over there is open. Why don’t you close it」

Elna-kaasan said that as if on purpose, then deliberately turn around and start walking toward the opposite direction.

As a result, my body also turned around along with her movement, and my back muscles - which is the cause of my pain - also got stretched with a jerk.

「Ow! You usually never have the slightest interest in this kind of thing! Ah, I’m sorry!」

「You should have obediently apologized from the start」

When I obediently apologized to her, Elna-kaasan smiled in satisfaction and forgave me.

「Look, it’s fine already so go walk slowly」

「Umm, if you’ve forgiven me then please release your hand」

I firmly said that to Elna-kaasan as she is holding my hand gently. Though she looks a bit angry, she still shows me her gentle side, probably because my hand was cold.

「……what’s the matter?」

「I have an easier method to move around」

When I said that, Elna-kaasan strangely released her hand.

After that, I slowly turn around toward the direction of my room and start walking there.

「Hey! You’re still going back to sleep again! That’s enough!」

「That’s not it! I’m just going to get the necessary item!」

As I explained it to Elna-kaasan who approached me, and she temporarily restrained her anger.

As expected, if I were to ignore this then this time I know I’m going to experience even more terrible things that happened to me.

What I need now is my futon.

I return to my room while enduring the pain from my sore muscles. Then I open the door with Psychic, entered the room and picked up my futon with Psychic, and pulled it toward me.

After that, I lie down on the futon, and use Psychic to manipulate the futon to wrap my body.

This way, I became something like makizushi.

「……what? Are you messing around with me now? How can this be useful to move around」

「It’s not like I did nothing even during my journey to Kagura you know, Elna-kaasan. Now I’m going to show you my new method of using magic」

Admonishing the hasty Elna-kaasan, I use Psychic on the futon that wraps me.

Immediately after, the futon under me floated up, and I start to float in the air.

「You can’t use Psychic to make your own body float in the air. But using an inanimate object to make you float is no problem! So when you ride on top of some things like this, and by precisely controlling your magic power, a person could fly in the air and move around! Isn’t it amazing!?」

「That’s amazing! Like this, then you will not have to bother yourself by moving around using your own strength」

Perhaps she also realized the advantage of using magic like this that when I addressed her while floating in midair, Elna-kaasan agrees with me.

As expected from someone who hates something troublesome like me, Elna-kaasan.

It looks like she immediately notices how wonderful this magic is.

Just when I’m looking at her being impressed at my idea, Elna-kaasan expression clouds over.

「――no, this is unusable Al. It’s nice and all, but it doesn’t look good. Is there any other method where you can ride on something while appearing more impressive?」

So apparently, she’s worried about her husband - Nord-tousan - while inside the mansion.

「It’s fine if you just enjoy it somewhere where there is no Nord-tousan, right?」

「……I don’t know what you’re talking about, though?」

Elna-kaasan, doesn’t want to be seen as unattractive no matter what the situation.

Even while being shocked, I still think about how to make Elna-kaasan ride on something beautifully.

「Hmーm, since I’m light I don’t need to wrap myself with the futon, but if it’s someone with Elna-kaasan’s weight then the futon will just be unable to bear the weight and your fingers dug into my heaaaaaddddddd!? 」

「……so Al want to say that I’m heavy and fat?」

As I talk while organizing my thoughts, Elna-kaasan Iron Claw-ed me without any expression on her face.

Aah, even this pain is nostalgic, but her grip strength is no joke.

「I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way!」

When I hurriedly apologize, Elna-kaasan slowly releases her hand.

「Elna-sama―? Breakfast is readyー?」

She’s probably worried since the two of us were still not coming down since Mina called out to us from downstairs.

Was she not worried about me who was screaming earlier?

After replying to Mina, Elna-kaasan turns around to face me.

「……now then, let’s go have our breakfast」

「Yeah, let’s go」

「……Al, you’re awfully late toda――eeh!?」

As soon as Elna-kaasan opened the door and I entered the dining room, Nord-tousan - who is sitting in his seat - shouted in surprise.

Fufu, Nord-tousan is apparently speechless by my wonderful magic.

When I calmly move toward my own seat, Nord-tousan asked while looking perplexed.

「……Al, what are you doing?」

「I mastered a new method to use magic during my stay in Kagura. If you use Psychic magic like this, then you won’t need to use your own feet to move around」

For some reason, Nord-tousan has a subtle expression on his face when I pridefully answer like that and say,

「So you’re in that appearance just for showing us that?」

「What do you mean ‘just for showing us that’, Nord-tousan doesn’t understand how wonderful this magic is, don’t you!?」

「Apart from using it for long-distance travel, it’s better to walk by yourself inside, right?」

Not only Nord-tousan, but even Sylvio-niisan also said something like that.

When I turn my sight toward the comrade who understands the greatness of this magic, Elna-kaasan only sat there with a face that seems to say 「 I wonder what is this child doing in Kagura?」.

Where did the mother who told me to think about about how to ride on something beautifully from earlier go, I wonder?

「I mean, I got sore muscles due to the practice yesterday so it’s painful for me to walk」

「That’s because it’s Al’s fault for slacking off in practice, right? Even though Roomba had asked you so many times to practice with him」

This Father asks for something dangerous with no hesitation. But I’m not as sturdy as Eleonora-neesan and Shuichi. If I were to train with the giant Roomba then I can only see a future where I got injured.

「Well, let’s leave that matter rest now. Rather than talking about that let’s have our breakfast. Quickly remove that and sit down」

「Yeeーss」

Being told that by Nord-tousan, I cancel the Psychic magic. I fold the futon and put it in the corner of the dining room and sit back on my own seat.

And in front of my seat, the person who should be always sitting there - Eleonora-neesan - is not there.

「You can’t calm down because the person who is always there is not around, right」

「Ara? Weren’t you happy that Eleonora is not around yesterday? Feeling lonely already? 」

「That’s not it. It’s just that the seat in front of me is empty so it weighed on my mind」

Yeah, it’s like something doesn’t feel right since something that should be there is not there………that sort of feeling.

It’s not like I really miss Eleonora-neesan.

Sylvio-niisan - who is sitting beside me - slightly laughs as I’m thinking about such a thing.

「……why are you laughing」

「No, I just thought that it will indeed become lively when Al returns」

「Al was leaving for his trip, and then Eleonora also went to the royal capital soon after. These days there are only the three of us here」

「The mansion had felt so quiet now that the two lively people were gone」

No no, I think I’m the same type of quiet person as Nord-tousan and the others.

The lively one is only Eleonora-neesan, while I’m a very quiet kid, right?

As I was thinking about that, Nord-tousan softly smiles at me and says,

「Though it’s late, welcome home Al」

「「Welcome home」」

Following after Nord-tousan, are Elna-kaasan and Sylvio-niisan who said that to me.

「I’m home!」

After that, I had breakfast with my family - without the presence of Eleonora-neesan - for the first time in a while.
