「I understand that you’re a hard worker. You were the best in your school and became the Count, so you must have endured various hardships. However, you are now in charge of the entire Mercure family. You can’t just sit on your past circumstances forever and be a spoiled brat!」

 

Before he could avoid it, my fist plunged into his right cheek, which bore a relaxed semblance.

Shar was blown away in the direction of the castle, drawing a parabola.

 

「Hmph, now I’ve tied up loose ends.」

 

He seemed to have used magic to cushion the impact as quickly as possible, but he was caught off guard and miscalculated my strength.

Where he should have seriously guarded himself, he made light work of it with a little magic.

 

After a while, Shar came walking back from the castle.

He was rubbing his cheek with wrinkled brows.

 

「Ram, you hurt me.」

「You’re lucky I didn’t hit you right in the face. You’ll be hearing a lecture on the carriage ride home.」

 

Shar looked astonished, but he did not rebel and got into the carriage quietly.

 

(It’s surprising that he listened to me so honestly.)

 

It was a little unexpected, so I was surprised.

In the worst case scenario, I was tempted to abandon him…but if Shar was attempting to reflect on himself, that would be a relief.

 

「Anyway, from now on, when I get angry, I’ll hit you mercilessly.」

「…I won’t screw up to that extent.」

 

As he turned away, his cheek was stained red, not only on the right side where he had been hit, but also on the left.

The party was over, and my days at the Mercure mansion began again.

For some reason, Shar increasingly stayed at home, always hanging around me, which was creepy.

 

(What if he’d awaken a special proclivity, such as taking delight in being hit?)

 

A new anxiety began to grow in me.

In addition to Shar, Kanon has also been appearing around me lately.

Apparently, he has missed me since I taught him magic.

 

(There’s supposed to be a class at the academy at this time. You’ve slipped out again.)

 

However, Kanon still seemed to be uncomfortable with Shar.

 

(Out of a sense of duty, they’re father and son, so I hope they have some contact. I can’t force it, though.)

 

There were still many challenges for the Mercure family.

 

(It’s a ship I’ve boarded, and I have nothing else to do. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to improve the environment here before I leave the Mercure family.)

 

As the number of wizards continued to decrease and the variety of magic continued to diminish, for some reason, I ended up marrying into the House of Mercure, which has something to do with magic.

It would be fun to contribute to the revival of magic that has disappeared for five hundred years in this life.
