After leaving the house, Uncle went through the city at breakneck speed .
He took the shortest way to the castle, between people and on rooftops.
Only, under the influence of secrecy, no one could see us.
And we were soon at the castle.
Uncle, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?
What are you talking about. It doesn't seem like a very good idea for a man to keep a girl waiting.
Uh-huh.
You just slept in.
Yes?
I'm going to go.
And with that, he carries me on his back and jumps over the wall.
What? Let's just walk through the gate like normal.
What do you mean, you're a burglar. We're burglars this time. What good would it do us if we walked through that gate?
But if you can jump over them so easily, I'm worried about security.
Don't worry about it, though, because only me and a brave man can do this.
Oh, really?
If someone comes along who can do that, it's my job.
What does your uncle do?
You mentioned special forces, but what do they do?
You're under the Emperor's direct command.
Is that different from being a knight?
'Knights need the minister's permission to run them, and there are many of them, and their job is to maintain security in times of war and security, and the special forces I belong to are a small number of elite, like today, escorting the emperor, or doing the job the emperor asks them to do.'
Wow, you're really good.
Thank you. Here we are... the princess's room.
Then he put me down and stopped at the door.
Knock knock.
Your Highness, we've brought Leo to you.
scene
Huh? What's going on?
Shelly, are you there? I'm sorry I'm late.
Then the door opens.
Sherry made a foul face.
'You're late.'
I'm sorry, Leo's having a hard time getting up.
Shelley hears this and glares at me.
Does Leo not care about me?
No, it's not! I just got so tired from the party last night that I couldn't get up.
"Mmm, I wanted to go yesterday, too.
As she said this, Shelly was getting teary-eyed.
Don't cry! I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, I'll do anything.
"Hmmm, whatever. .... Okay, I forgive you.
Phew, looks like I've managed to get my forgiveness.
I just wonder what they're going to make me do: .....
Well, I guess we've made up, so I'll leave you to it.
Uncle said and was gone in an instant.
Really, secrecy comes in handy: ....
Then go into your room.
The room looks like a girl's room.
The whole room is pink and full of stuffed animals.
Yeah?
Yes, do you like to play the plugs?
Yeah, I do.
I'll see you in a minute.
I say that and use my creation magic.
I don't have any materials, so I'm going to make a stuffed animal out of magic.
Then I'll just imagine a penguin and poof!
"Here's something for you, to put you in a better mood.
Are you sure? Okay, I'll fix it for you.
Oh, thank God.
Well, that's a relief.
Now, I'll give you something.
She gave me a beautiful necklace made of mithril.
"Thank you. Can I put it on?
Wait. Before I do, I'm going to give you the magic stone.
Sherry said and produced a magic stone as brilliant as my magic stone.
Oh, you're doing great. But that's okay.
It's okay. I poured my magic power into the magic stone you gave me all these years, and it turned out to be this brilliant, so now I'm going to try to do it myself from scratch.
Okay. I see.
Besides, I wanted to see you use this to work your magic on this necklace.
Is that what you really want? Well, okay.
Yay!
Well, I'd like to try something, so give me Shelly's necklace.
Okay.
Receive the necklace and magical stones and use creation magic.
And then, as always, it shone with success.
And what she got was a necklace with a round magic stone.
I think I did it.
How does it work?
Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
<Telepathic necklace.
You can telecommunicate with the person who poured magic power into this magical stone via registered magic items at a distance.
All you have to do is touch this necklace to register.
Now we can talk to each other whenever and wherever we want.
(thrill)
I feel like I've built something scary.
Uh-huh.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, that's true.
That's right. I've gained a lot of magic power thanks to the magical stone.
I'm proud of you.
Now, let's see how well the love necklace works: ....

This growth is bad... (don't you tell me)
I knew the item's growth promotion was great!
Also, I've been practicing my magic operations every day.
Great, great.
Then I patted him on the head.
"Heh, and I need to ask Leo a favor.
You want me to do something for you?
Yeah, you're messing with my magic.
No, please don't do that.
You said you'd do anything for me.
Yeah, okay.
A man's word is his bond.
So, please.
And with that, Shelly plopped down on her bed.
Yeah, I'll do it then.
I'm going to give up and let Shelly's magic take over.
'Huh? It's a lot easier to move.
You're growing up.
Yeah? Maybe it's because I do it every day~
Oh, it's started: ....
"It's been too long since I've felt this good~
Absent-mindedness.
'Fua: ~~~~'
(Mindless, mindless, mindless, mindless: .....)
I think it's been more than ten minutes since then.
I'm tired.
Shelly fell asleep.
That sounds like fun.
I heard a sudden voice behind me.
I turned around quickly and saw my uncle.
'Surprise - Uncle, did you just see that?
Yeah, it's a good thing this room is soundproof.
Oh, this sucks.
Was that what people were looking at?
Ahhh! I'm dying of embarrassment: .....
'Well, since you said you'd do anything, a man has to listen to you.
Ugh. ....
'For that matter, how can you manipulate someone else's magic at your age?
I just happened to want to teach Shelly how to manipulate magic, and when I tried to do it, I just did.
''No, no, just being able to manipulate magic at your age is awesome, you know?
Oh, really?
''Yeah, not many people even have the ability to manipulate magic these days because they use magic tools that absorb magic power to train their magic,''
Is there such a thing?
''There is . Originally it was something that absorbed magic power to keep wizards in prison, but now they've found a way to do magic training so that when they've absorbed all the magic, they'll take a break and repeat the process.
"Oh, that's handy.
''Well, it's a pain in the ass to train your magic manipulation to level 3 and then pour your magic power into a magic stone to train your magic power, and you can still use magic without the magic manipulation.''
Yeah, but I need to do some magic manipulation when I use creation magic.
Come to think of it, Leo-kun used to use creation magic on a regular basis.
I can use it.
Magic that no one else can use. ....
Well, I have a lot of magic.
That's probably the number one reason, but another one might be due to magical manipulation as well.
Why?
''The magic tools I mentioned earlier have left very few people able to use magic manipulation, and if creation magic requires magic manipulation, it's no wonder there's no one to use it.
I see.
Well, it's about to get dark and I'm going home, Leo.
Yeah, okay.
Are you sure you don't want to say something to the princess before you leave?
It's okay. I've got this.
I'm going to show Pops the necklace.
I didn't know creation magic could do that.
Yeah, I've been at the level I'm at now, though.
It's amazing that you can raise the bar that high, though.
No, it's not.
See you later~ I'll be humbled and ready to go.
Uncle said that and carried me again.
"What? Are you going to be carried again?
I'll have to wait for you to get home.
Then my uncle carried me home at breakneck speed as well: ....
