Chapter 152




Chapter 152 \nMagic’s True Worth\n
The fifth day of staying in Kagura. Today too, I was greeted by the fresh morning air.
Just as Tori said last night, we’re going to leave Kagura on the seventh day, the day after tomorrow.
I heard that Toriela’s Company’s business discussion will mostly be finished today, so the Company’s members are leaving the ryokan as if they’re giving it one more push to complete it.
And so the duo of me and Roomba is now heading toward the shrine to meet with Haru and Shuichi from early morning. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
We’re leaving early today so that Haru will not be angry at us because we’re late.
We left the ryokan and as we walked toward the residential area, Roomba says.
「So we’re going to go shopping tomorrow, so today is the last time that we’re really free, isn’t it? 」
「Yeah. That’s why, we have to say our farewell to Haru and Shuichi today」
「I seeăƒŒ, it was fun but, it can’t be helped」
Roomba walks while putting both of his arms to the back of his head while muttering with a light tone.
He might say so, but when I look at Roomba’s face he doesn’t look that sad.
「You doesn’t look sad

..」
「Well, I’m originally an adventurer who went traveling to various places after all. I’m used to meeting people and parting with them! I said that I’m not sad but I’m actually sad, but even though we are sad we can’t spend more time with the people we met there. That’s why, you should enjoy the time you have with the people you met to the fullest just as usual!」
Hearing such remarks from Roomba, I stopped walking unintentionally.
「Oh? Al, what‘s wrong?」
「

Roomba is saying something nice」
「Oi, what’s the meaning of that!?」
I mean, it’s Roomba you know? Roomba’s not the kind of person to say something nice like that, wasn’t he. At least, that’s the image of Roomba inside my mind.
「So Roomba was an adventurer who went to travel around, huh」
「I said that from the start, didn’t I」\n
Roomba and I continue to walk down the street while saying such things.
And before long, we finally arrived in front of the shrine’s stairs that we used day after day.
Even today, the stair is still at the steep slope with a lot of steps that it looks innumerable.
Just imagining myself climbing that stair alone makes me become out of breath.
Looking at the steps in front of me, I softly exhale, and turn to Roomba while raising both of my arms saying, www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「

now, Roomba carry me」
「Oi oi, you climb by yourself today」
Roomba flatly denies my request.
「What are you saying. If I climb by myself, then there is no meaning in heading out early in the morning. Roomba can carry me while climbing up the stair quickly before Haru and Shuichi comes, right」
Today I woke up earlier than yesterday and left soon after I finished my breakfast.
It was something unthinkable for the usual me to not take a rest after a meal, but this is also so that Haru and Shuichi won’t tell me to climb the stair by myself. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If Roomba doesn’t carry me right now, then for what reason did I cut my break time and wake up early?
「When I thought back on the reason why we left the ryokan early, so that’s the reason, huh. Al, don’t you think you’re confusing the direction in which you put your effort?」
「It’s not. So come on, carry me quickly」
Denying me from my break time and waking me up early is unacceptable. And that brought all of my effort to waste.
So that’s why, I want you to carry me and climb the stairs before Haru and Shuichi arrived.As I raise both of my arms and keenly approaches him, Roomba pointed at the top while smiling wryly.
「

that being said, those two are already looking at us from the top, y’know?」
「What did you say!?」
When I hurriedly look at the place Roomba pointed to, I can see Haru and Shuichi’s figures standing at the shrine on the top.
Perhaps Haru and Shuichi notices that I looked at them and,
「AlăƒŒ! You have to climb by yourself today!」
\n「You have to climb the stairs by yourself if you're a man!」
their yells resounded from the top. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Gunununu, even though I got up earlier than usual, they have already stood there at the top. Your early-to-bed-early-to-wake-up habit is just too early, don’t you think.
「Gahaha, if I carry you now then Haru and Shuichi will get angry at me, right. It’s going to be a good exercise for you Al, so you climb it by yourself」
Roomba said that and started to calmly climb the stairs ahead of me when I’m gnashing my teeth.
Apparently, he’s really not going to help me today.
「AlăƒŒ! Come on up quickly!」
As I’m staring at Roomba’s back who went before of me, Haru’s well-projected voice resounded from the top.
Haru and Shuichi told me to climb up by myself. However, they didn’t say anything about climbing with my own feet.
In that case, I will use magic here since it’s an all-purpose power that makes things easier. It should also probably be counted as a sort of my own strength. That shouldn’t be a wrong interpretation.
It’s time to test the magic I had been considering during our travel.
I had always been thinking about it during our travel. I thought, is there no magic that could somehow make you fly.
If you have that, you can even proceed through a large mountain without taking a detour, and you can also easily do your day-to-day activities much easier.
Like the magic I developed to escape from Eleonora-neesan, the one where I continuously made Shields with non-attribute magic in the air and walked on it. If you can use that, then walking in the air is possible.
But, that technique was unexpectedly quite difficult since it uses all of your nerves. The Shield had to be strong that it won’t break even when you put your whole body’s weight on it. And you have to deploy more Shields without a pause to the place where you wanted to go while keeping up the magic.  While you had passed the Shield then it will still remain just like that and you will be conscious of them somewhat, and since it also consumes your magic power by remaining in the air, you have to cancel the magic.
It’s just the perfect magic to use just like when I used it to stare at the landscape of the royal capital, though it’s a bit unsuitable to use that magic as a means of movement.
I want something that will make it even easier for me to move mid-air. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And when I thought about it, the non-attributed magic Psychic catches my eyes.
It’s the magic to spread your own magic power into an inanimate object and freely manipulate it. If I can just control it then I can make it float and also move it.
 
But, a person’s body can’t be the target for this magic since they have magic inside them from the start. So, how about I try to ride on something inanimate that I had taken control of then?
That’s the aerial movement magic that I will try this time. It sounds grandiose, but it’s just me riding on top of an object that I’ve made to float in the air using Psychic magic, actually.
I think I’m going to try that this time.
Looking around the place, there is a large exposed rock on an unpaved slope near the stairs. The soils were probably got washed off by heavy rain or something and the hard rock that was in the ground probably appeared to the surface because of that.\nAlong with a slight feeling of floating, my visual field increases along with the rock’s elevation.
It’s a simple task of floating the rock with Psychic. Different from the Aerial Movement magic using Shield, you don’t need to move, and you also don’t need to keep casting magic continuously.
It’s really easy for me to float in mid-air. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Ooh! I knew it, there’s nothing wrong with my idea.
This is definitely easier if you want to move around in mid-air.
You don’t need to take the trouble to walk to a distant place with this, you also don’t have to walk on the difficult mountain road.
When you don’t want to leave your futon in the morning, you can use this magic to move around in mid-air while still being wrapped in your futon. You can also move around in winter like this using the kotatsu.
This is surely the work of gods! It makes your life easier by letting you live as you wish. This is precisely magic’s true worth.
I started to climb the slope while having joyful look on my face.
I proceed diagonally upward in mid-air, and unexpectedly, the slope was a short one and I arrive at the top in the blink of an eye.
It feels like when you’re riding the ropeway.
「Sorry to keep you waiting. I climb the stairs by myself, see」
Haru, Shuichi, Roomba, and two unfamiliar men were staring at me with their mouths agape as I arrived at the top while saying that to them.
「「「You really didn’t want to climb the stairs that much?」」」
「Of course」
