Juni 17th, 2023
Cleaning, laundry, this and that, the day of a maid apprentice is going to be a busy day.
Really, my first impression was that this mansion wasn’t that big, but even so, it’s really hard to maintain and manage it properly (and with a small number of people).
According to Maid-senpai, even though it’s a remote countryside, it’s possible for sudden visitors to come, so if they don’t keep the mansion clean in preparation for that, Baron-sama will be ridiculed by the other nobles.
Fueee.
Is it something like a nobleman’s pride?
Really troublesome.
Well, even so, I’ll do the cleaning seriously, because it’s my job.
And, the maid-senpai is also in charge of cooking, so she currently shutting herself up in the kitchen and preparing dinner.
Normally, wouldn’t you hire a cook for something like this?
<Well, I think that’s usually the case, but… isn’t that part of the baron’s compromise because he’s poor? ＞
I don’t care about compromising, but really, Maid-senpai, don’t you think you’re overworked?
Well, you look fine, so I’d like to think there’s no problem.
At least for one month when I’m here, let’s do our best so that senpai can take it easy.
Oh, by the way, I was absolutely not allowed in the kitchen.
As expected, she will not let the newcomer who just came yesterday into the kitchen. It seems like that.
So, after parting with my senpai, I followed her instructions and was weeding around the mansion with another servant of this mansion, Uncle Mauve.
This person is that, he is a sober uncle who was a carriage driver yesterday.
Somehow, he has a calm face and seems kind, but there is something absent-minded about him, which makes me feel a little uneasy.
Just a while ago, while weeding, he mistakenly plucked the medicinal herbs that madam had planted, and he was repeatedly scolded by the ugly-looking old man who came to him.
It’s clearly partitioned with stones and so on, why are you making a mistake?
Come to think of it, this uncle was breaking a plate at breakfast this morning too.
Isn’t the work of the servant not suitable for him?
I was try to cheer him up with pat his shoulder softly, but he freaked out and moved away from me, repeatedly trying to wipe off the parts I had touched with a handkerchief.
……………….
Ah, I’m sorry uncle, I just remember my hands still dirty after cleaning.
“Emmy~~~~~! Emmy~~~~~~! Where are you~~~~?”
Oops, this cute but loud voice is definitely Sarah-chan.
Looking up, i saw her looking for me from the window of the study room on the second floor.
It’s dangerous, Sarah. If you fall, you’ll die, you know?
<She won’t, if she is also practicing jumping off a cliff like Emmy, right? >
Don’t “right?” me! There’s no way Lady like that exist!
I can’t let jer continue to do any more dangerous things, so I quickly moved under the window.
“Oh! Emmy! I’m going to practice magic after rhis! I’m going out with my mother, so please wait at the entrance!”
Saying that, Sarah withdrew into the room.
A clattering sound can be heard.
It looks like she’s preparing to go outside.
I can also hear Madam’s voice like “Don’t shout!” or “Don’t run!” from outside.
Sarah’s road to becoming a lady is still endlessly long.
Do your best ma’am.
◇ ◇ ◇
And now, I’m with Sarah-chan and madam at the magic practice field behind the mansion.
Even though it’s called a practice field, it’s just a mowed field where targets are placed.
There is a forest beyond the field, and there might be an assassin who is targeting the baron’s family hiding there… i’m not sure so I watched Sara-chan practice magic while raising my guard.
“<Water, become a bullet and pierce the enemy! [Water Bullet]!>”
When Sara says something while pointing at the target with her index finger, a small water polo appears on her fingertips.
The water polo flew toward the target with great force…or it supposed be like that, but it just fell to the ground, making a small stain.
“Uuuu….it didn’t work out….”
“You not concentrate enough maybe? It’s important to have a solid image while chanting, you know? <Water bullet, appear and pierce the enemy! [Water Bullet]!>”
The water polo shot by the wife flies straight toward the target and hits with a loud noise. With that power, even though it can’t kill the opponent, it’s useful enough to frighten or stop them.
In the first place, this [Water Bullet] magic is the first magic that the children of the nobility of this country learn, even the most basic magic, it is useful for self-defense.
………anyway, Omake-sama.
I have a question.
<Yes, what is it, Emmy?>
I’ve been taught by Omake-sama, [Ignition], [Drying], [Water collection]… I’ve already learned life magic all this time.
<Yes yes>
The magic I’ve used so far didn’t need that kind of chant, right?
And yet, Sarah-chan and madam are chanting something this and that, right?
What exactly is this magic chant?
<…To put it simply, the magic chant is the password to connect to the “Magic Use Support System” created by the Magic God. I saw it in a documentary program called “God’s Challenge”>
S-sytem? Password?
<That’s right. Manipulating magic is difficult, isn’t it? That’s why the Magic God created a system to help anyone use magic. If someone recite the magic word that magic god already registered in advance, a certain standard of magic will be activated by the system.>
The system assists magic manipulation! ?
<Yes. Thanks to that, after this system went into operation, the magic user population increased 50 times compared to before, and with that achievement, the magic god’s divinity changed from a low-ranking god to a high-ranking god all at once…>
Wait wait wait!?
That means, for example, [Ignition], that I had a hard time learning it, as long as I had the correct chanting for using [Ignition], I could use it without much trouble! ?
<Well, something like that.>
Eh~~! ?
Then, why you not just teach me that chant~~! !
<………. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.>
Eh?
<In that system, the intended user is basically a human. It’s a system that connects to human souls and assists in manipulating magic.>
I’m also human you know!?
<But, inside you, there is me who is a “God’s vessel”>
Ah…..?
<So if you try to imitate that chant, the system definitely will bugged.>
Bugged!?
<Simply put, if you use magic with chang, the moment you do it, you will explode and die.>
The f*ck!!??
<And that’s why, you should never chant, okay? Emmy.>
I-i see, so thats why…..
Seems like the world won’t let me enjoy myself…
<Well, let’s change the way of thinking, Emmy. The good thing is, because you can’t use the system, you’re able to hone your magic manipulation skills! After all, magic that is left to the system is inflexible in various ways, and also, it’s much better to manipulate the magic by yourself.>
I see…….
I see, I see.
For example, i have an advantage for the speed of activation, since i don’t have to mumble and chant, my chantless magic is overwhelmingly faster.
<Speed is not the only advantage, you know. One of its merits is that it consumes less magical power>
Is that so?
<Using the system consumes more mana than not using it. This is because the magic god collects it in the name of system maintenance, but it is rumored that most of that mana iis not used for system repairs but go the magic god’s pocket. That god seems to be making a lot of money. The magic god is a god who is often criticized even in the divine world for monopolizing mana rights>
(TL/N : if we go back at chapter 1, it seem like the god use ‘mana’ as currency.)
……Well, even though I only want to know about magic chant only, I ended up becoming more familiar with the concession issue of the divine realm, which I didn’t really want to know…
◇ ◇ ◇
Alright.
Even though I’m enjoying this conversation with Omake-sama, I’ve never let my guard down.
There are no suspicious figures in the forest, and there are no strange sounds other than the cries of animals.
No problems so far.
Rather, the problem is Sara-chan’s face, who is about to vomit due to running out of magic while rolling at her feet.
I see, so when the mana in your body becomes extremely low, you become sick like this and make you can’t move.
If I get into such a state in the forest or mountains, the course of being tortured to death by monsters will be decided, so I always pay attention to the remaining amount of my mana to prevent this from happening.
The only time it was really dangerous was when I fought the Orochi.
“…..uu……ugghhh……oeghhh……haaaa…..”
Okay, take a deep breath, Sarah-chan. Suu~, Haa~, Suu~, Haa~.
I rub the back of the pink hair girl who suffers with a stupid face that is unsuitable for her beautiful face. *Rub rub*
“My goodness, I always say that magic isn’t something that can be activated just by pouring in magical power, right?”
The madam, who plays the role of the lecturer, has an astonished face.
Ah, the madam, who was born and raised like a real nobleman, can’t fight, but she remembers and can use magic chants.
It seems like being able to chant magic is one of the natural educations for a noble.
That seems to be the main reason why madam wants Sarah-chan to learn magic.
“E-even if you say that…..uhhhh…..i don’t know how to make it work well…..ughhh…..”
Sara-chan can create a water polo, but it seems she can’t shoot it toward a target.
And when she was frustrated since she can’t do it, as a result of restlessly doing it, she out of mana and collapsed.
Hmm, but what’s going wrong?
Since she’s chanting correctly, I don’t think it’s strange that the “Magic Use Support System” will work normally and the magic will succeed?
<That’s probably because, as madam said earlier, she haven’t been able to create a good image of magic. After all, what the system does is assist in manipulating magic power. If the user doesn’t have a clear image of the magic they want to use, and if they don’t have the magical power for the magic they want to use, they can’t use the magic even if there’s a system.>
Hmmmmm, image, huh….
<Also, her easily distracted personality is also a problem. You can’t thread the eye of the needle while looking away, can you? ＞
If you say that, with the stupid Sara-chan as she is now, using magic seems like a dream of a dream.
Calm down Sarah.
It’s like, if you want to use magic, you have to act like a lady, or something like that?
“Hey hey, Emmy, Emmy can use magic too, right? I want to see Emmy’s magic!”
Oh? Sarah-chan, who got a little better after taking a break, started ask strange things, didn’t she?
<It seems she distracted again. Maybe she just want to change the mood.>
“You used magic when you saved us, didn’t you? That’s what the thieves said! I didn’t see that magic very well! That’s why I want to see it!”
Hmmmm, even if you say that……
Certainly, I think I’m pretty good at manipulating magic power.
That’s why I think it’s safe to say that I can use magic in the original sense.
However, I think magic for Sarah-chan and madam is magic that “activates as a result of chanting”.
If so, then I can’t use magic.
Because it seems if I chant, I will explode and die.
“I want to see! I want to see! I want to see Emmy’s magic!”
Ahhh! Geez, Sarah-chan is so noisy!
Don’t lie down and flap your arms and legs!
Look, Madam’s forehead has blue veins! Look at her Sarah-chan!
Eh, it can’t be helped. Then let me show you my magic!
I thrust my right hand into the ground and grabbed the dirt as usual, and squeeze it tightly.
And, [Coagulation]!
After that use magic manipulation to harden the pebbles.
Look carefully Sarah! I’m using magic now!
With the completed pebble, i use [Throw] to the target!
Of course, i’m not forget to apply [Body Strengthening].
The pebbles that flew out of my palm at an insane speed did not slow down even after hitting the target, and knocked down several trees in the forest beyond the field.
With a roaring sound, the trees in the forest are falling down.
Sara-chan’s face is blank, and madam is staring at me with a pale face.
“…..that is, my magic.”
How’s it, Lady?
Are you satisfied?
“………i think, that’s not magic…..”
No, it’s magic, maybe. in the original sense.
“………i don’t think it’s magic…….”
Even madam!
But well, I think it can’t be help to have that kind of impression.
After that, surprised by the roaring sound, the uncle with bad eyes rushed out of the mansion and got scolded me, and thus today’s magic practice ended.
