Walking On The Lake
「Al! How are you doing that!?」
「That’s amazing! You are walking on water!」
While Torr, Asmo, and I were walking on water using the Shield, Viscount Dole, and Tickle’s eyes shone after they saw us.
「I’m just walking with the Shield from the non-attribute magic as a footing」
「What! That non-attribute magic, it’s so versatile!」
You can manipulate objects and even walk on water or in the sky if you have non-attribute magic. Compared to other attributes, it’s pretty versatile and easy to use. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Would you like to take a walk on the lake?」
「Yeah, if it’s possible then obviously!」
So I make Shield in succession on the water surface to the front of Viscount Dole while being stared at by their sparkling eyes. I make it in a way so that they will be able to join us here.
If anything, it would be easier for us to walk together.
「Okay then, you can walk from there」
Viscount Dole then stretches his leg to check on the surface when I point at it with my finger.
After he confirm the feel of the Shield for his footing, Viscount Dole timidly took a step forward
「Fuhahaha! Amazing! This is amazing! I’m walking on water, see!」
Viscount Dole jumped on top of the Shield on the lake’s surface, showing his happiness as he looks to be in high spirits.
The sight of a large man jumping in joy on top of the water’s surface looks surreal and heartwarming.
「Come on, Tickle. I can walk just fine. Come over here!」
「Y, yes, I understand it but still.....」
Viscount Dole called out to her, but Tickle still couldn’t take a step forward.
Well, it’s natural to fall into the water if you take a step on the water. Even if you know that you won’t fall, you will still hesitate.
I mean, the Shield is transparent that you can even see through the water’s surface.
「Come on, take my hand. It’s fine. Believe in Al’s magic」
Viscount Dole said as he extended his hand toward Tickle. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
You should say 「Believe in me」 here, Viscount. I think it will be deeply moving to Tickle if you do that.
Tickle nervously took his hand and slowly stepped on the Shield.
Then Viscount Dole lead her by the hand and Tickle took the second, then the third step on the Shield.
And perhaps she doesn’t feel any fear of falling into the water after doing that, Tickle’s tense expression soon relaxed.
「How is it? You’re not going to fall, right?」
「Ye, yes! This is amazing! I, I really walk on water!」
Looking at her smiling and overcome with emotion, I continue to lay Shields to create a path for them to walk.
Frankly, it’s easier to move the Shield themselves, but that will not be romantic. There is a meaning in the experience of walking on water.
When Viscount Dole and Tickle have joined us, I create a large Shield below us and continue to make Shields in front of me in succession.
With such a large Shield, even five people moving around as they please on top of it will not fall.
As I walk forward, everyone also walks on the Shields like me.
「Walking on water is such a strange feeling, isn’t it」
「You normally can not walk on water after all」
As I was chatting casually with Asmo, Torr- who is beside me - poke my shoulder and asks.
「Say, Al. I want to ask just to be sure, but our foothold is secure, right? It will not break because of Asmo’s weight, right?」
「Knock it off Torr」
Maybe he heard Torr’s worry since Asmo told him that as though to threaten him.
However, Torr’s worry is natural.
In the winter of last year, the memory of Asmo smashing through the frozen lake with his weight is still fresh in our minds. He must have the same worry as that time. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「It’s okay. This Shield is strong so it won’t break like last year」
「Then that’s great」
Torr looked relieved after I told him that.
Then he start running, I guess he noticed something in his field of vision.
「Uohー! There is a school of fish right below us!」
When Torr points his finger, we also move to his side and peer in below us.
There was a school of fish that was living in the lake calmly swimming right under our feet.
Furthermore, you can also occasionally see other fish that emits glittering light from the reflection of the sunlight.
It’s like a pseudo aquarium.
Would I be able to move underwater by wrapping myself Psychic? Then I’m going to be able to enjoy the underwater world like being in an aquarium if I do that.
But, supposing I could do that breathing would be another problem.
「Fuwaa……I can see fish it’s beautiful」
「Yeah, you can clearly see them since the water is very clear. It might also be a good idea to represent the world of fish with dolls」
「Eeh! If so, then I have to closely observe fish swimming as well!」
Tickle and Viscount Dole immediately look like they are trying to use this scene in their puppet show.
Even so, Tickle is highly ambitious. With this kind of growth, she might be able to move various kinds of dolls in no time at all.
While I was thinking about such things, I noticed that Torr was acting suspiciously.
He wanders around Tickle as if he’s going to talk to Tickle and looks at her feet without even paying attention to the fish below.
「What are you doing Torr?」
When I ask her that, Torr came closer to me and asks me in a small voice. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Say, Al. You know, in a pool of water of such, you can occasionally see people’s reflections right?」
「Ye, yeah, it’s the reflection of the light」
「You mean the reflection? Anyhow, so people can be reflected on the water’s surface. And so, Tickle-san skirt is also reflected」
The moment I heard that from Torr, I was shocked as though I was struck by lightning.
「……if it’s Al, you know what I meant, right?」
「Y, you, are you a genius.....!」
Torr’s expression became perverted when I groan as if trembling from it.
He usually only thinks about something useless but, only at this time that I had to take my hats off of his exceptional ability.
……we might be able to see it. Tickle’s panties that was reflected on the water’s surface and Shield.
When you peek into the inside of someone’s skirt normally is already considered a great crime. If you try to do it in my previous life, you would be caught by the police in one shot.
However, in this world when you are at the age of seven years it will barely allow you to do that. Even if the other party is an adult woman, I’m currently a kid so there is the possibility of being forgiven.
Just that, I’m a member of the Slowlett house who manage the territory, a noble.
A noble has to show the people a good model. If I were to try and openly lift up someone’s skirt, then the people in our territory will definitely look coldly at me from then on.
If I were to try and use the authority of the noble and be arrogant then the dignity and reputation of the Slowlett house would fall. Rather, even if the villagers were to forgive me, I don’t think that my family including Elna-kaasan and Eleonora-neesan will forgive me.
And so, the act of peeking into someone’s panties is something unthinkable for me but, what if I saw it by chance from the reflection of the water’s surface and Shield?
That way I won’t peek into it on purpose because it is just a natural phenomenon.
Moreover, it will not give the other party any shame if I was to see her panties, the dignity of Slowlett house will also not fall, and I won’t get scolded too.
Right, this will not make anyone of us unhappy.
After sorting my thoughts, Torr and I look at each other and then nod. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And then, we look into the water surface where Tickle’s figure was projected.
「……e, eh? I can’t see it?」
「Can’t see」
There was only a faint reflection of Tickle over there, we couldn’t see our true objective, her panties.
Torr and I move around desperately trying to change the angles. However, there is no reflection of her panties on the water, there is nothing but the glittering reflection of the sunlight.
Right now this glittering light is so hateful.
「Ah, I’m sorry, you can not see the fish because I’m in the way, right?」
I guess she misunderstood that we were desperately trying to see the fish below us as Tickle casually move to the side.
Yosh, if Tickle changes her position then there’s the possibility that we can see her reflection in the water.
Maybe it’s thanks to the change of positions of Tickle and us that a lot of the reflected light is covered.
Torr and I were having guts pose inside our hearts, but still, there are only Tickle’s face and body that were reflected on the water's surface, we couldn’t see her panties.
「Darn it, can’t see」
「Eh? The fish are over there, right?」
Tickle’s somewhat bewildered voice resounded on the lake when Torr and I were groaning over the result.
