Chapter 124: To The Mansion

I practiced all day, but in the end, I failed to master Resonance.

Honestly, it was to be expected.

Resonate with magic? How exactly? I was still amazed by the mere existence of mana. What even was magic? How and with what was I supposed to resonate?

Above all solve all these questions instinctively?

As Elisha said, it was nonsense. It was the Lindelheit family that was strange for being able to do this.

But no matter how much I struggled, time passed.

Eventually, without any notable achievements, the day passed, and the weekend arrived.

The weekend when Carla, Elisha, and Faye agreed to introduce themselves at the mansion I had bought.

At the predetermined meeting spot, the academys main square.

Even from afar, her presence was overwhelming No, it was Faye. As soon as I saw her, I rushed over.

Then, I lifted her by the waist and buried my face in her soft chest.

Uwaa. Im baby Yandel. Feed me, mama!

J-junior?! Why suddenly?!

Faye struggled to break free from me.

But with her small stature, it was impossible for her to escape my grasp

Hey! Not here in the street! Anywhere else, but here!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Uh? What?

Slowly releasing my arms, I got caught on her chest for a moment, but eventually, Faye slipped out.

Whats this?

Why are you so strong, Senior Faye?

Heheh. Did you forget? Im half-dwarf.

Oh.

Right. Dwarves were unusually strong.

No wonder I couldnt let go of her all night the first time.

As I silently nodded, Faye poked my ribs with a sullen look.

Junior. You didnt think of something strange just now, did you?

Strange? I was just wondering how to introduce Senior Faye to others.

Hey, weve met these two before. Just greet them, right?

Faye peeked to the side, looking at Carla and Elisha following us.

But upon making eye contact, she stiffened, perhaps nervous.

I realized that although Faye had gotten used to me, she was still awkward around others.

It was just a brief encounter at the workshop last time, and she only saw their faces because of me.

Moreover, Carla and Elisha had somewhat intimidating aspects.

Carla, due to her slave training, didnt show it, but she was deeply ingrained with the manners of a high noble.

Her natural dignity might be traumatic for Faye, who was scolded and raised in a bad environment.

Elisha was not easier.

Although her significance had somewhat faded, high elves were still revered among elves.

Having been adored since childhood, and after joining the Sylvan Mana Tower, she grew up hearing shed be the next great magician.

Unlike Carla, she wasnt trained as a slave, so she always emitted a ladylike aura.

Even now, she covers her mouth with a fan, sighing like a typical lady.

Not just any servant, but a slave servant!

Well, I like such attitudes, but for Faye, it must be difficult.

Carla was standing demurely; Elisha was still emitting a high-pressure atmosphere; and Faye was stiff as a board.

Though not strangers, the silence lingered in the changed relationship between the three.

Just as Elisha, who was sighing until a moment ago, folded her fan and tapped my head.

What kind of adult says uwaa? You were quite surprised just now, werent you, Faye?

Ah, eh. Its okay

Yesterday, Yandel was out of his mind due to excessive training. And you dont have to use formal speech with me.

Is that so?

I suppose so. I am younger than Faye, and more importantly, I am currently a slave.

But you said youre not just any slave, right? So, I cant treat you just any way I want

Faye was hesitant yet responding diligently. Elisha looked pleased with her answer and smiled contentedly.

Oh? Did Yandel say that?



Property values around the academy tend to rise, not fall.

Actually, it was quite expensive when I bought it.

It had been only two weeks, but things had changed a lot.

We were supposed to go last weekend, but I got busy with the aftermath of the duel.

Anyway, although it had changed, the exterior of the mansion hadnt.

The flow of mana surrounding the mansion had changed.

I wonder if I was the only one who felt it, as Carla and Fayes jaws drop.

I cant feel it all, but the barrier is incredibly intricate.

Amazing Who could have done this?

Elisha, puffing up with pride, lifted her chin.

Heheh. As expected of my teacher! Given more time and materials, a barrier similar to the Sylvan Mana Tower could be created!

A house is safer the safer the walls are. Oh, Senior Faye. Do you have anything to install here?

Me? Umm I cant say for sure without disrupting the barrier, but there are a few things that might be good to have.

Then, when you have time, please make a few. Of course, after consulting with Iris.

Iris Elishas teacher? The one who owned the Sylvan Mana Tower.

Faye, thinking of meeting the formidable Iris in person, nervously swallowed.

Theres no need to be so nervous, Senior Faye. Shes kind of cute in some ways.

Smirking, I reached for the magical knocker on the gate.

Creak.

Before I could knock, the gate opened by itself.

I wonder how I missed it, but one of the elf family members we brought along, the son, came to greet us.

Welcome, Master. And your friends?

Were a bit closer than that.

At my casual response, Faye blushed, and the son looked momentarily surprised.

Though he quickly bowed his head to hide his face.

S-sorry. I was just surprised.

Its okay to be surprised By the way, what was your name again?

I should start remembering the names of the elf family.

I couldnt keep calling them dad, mom, and son.

Its Orlan. Ill guide you inside.

Following Orlans lead, we crossed the garden towards the interior of the building.

Space distortion magic was applied here too, so the interior was quite spacious compared to the exterior.

After a brief look around, two other elf family members emerged, having noticed our arrival.

But that was all.

Wheres Iris?

Master I mean, Iris is probably in the underground workshop. She hasnt noticed the outside yet since the equipment is incomplete, but shell come out as soon as she knows youre here.

Huh? Its okay. Since were here, lets check out the workshop.

Reassuring a somewhat tense Orlan, we all headed down to the basement.

Then we opened the thick door at the end of the stairs.

It had been quite a while since I last saw Iris, so I shouted with genuine joy.

Iris!

Silence.

No response.

For a moment, I panicked, wondering if she wasnt here.

Thud.

Huh?

Something soft bumped against my foot.

Looking down hastily

Mmnya Latte is

There was Iris, uttering sleep talk with a strangely sorrowful expression on her face.

Slurp.

Youll get a crooked mouth sleeping like that.
