Chapter 6

Chapter 6 \n<h1>Slowlife Chapter 6</h1>\n<h1>Space Magic and Beetle</h1>

 

「It feels the best when you can move with your own feet. 」

After I finished eating in the morning, I walk around the mansion with light steps.

Usually, there are two meals a day, one at noon and another at night, but Eleanor-neesan and I enter the kitchen and eat the excess pastries.

Even though I’m a child, the nutrition of two meals a day is insufficient. Because Eleanor-neesan simply moves her body, I think that her fuel cost is terrible. That is different.

「However, when I wasn’t able to walk, I was troubled about what to do with the inconvenienceー 」

I mutter my deep emotions. I had a hard time with this one when I was only a baby.

It’s because of me being a weird child, isn’t it?

Let’s read the continuation of the book today.

When I entered the study room, my older brother, Sylvio-niisan, was inside the room.

Eleanor-neesan is nine years old.

Sylvio-niisan is six years old.

I am three years old.

Are my parents clearly aiming for that?

No, because, although I became three years old, I don’t have a younger sibling. Well, I think that having about two or three children is just right.

Sylvio-niisan is sitting on a chair and reading a book.

Sylvio-niisan closely resembles Nord-tousan’s appearance. Blond hair and blue eyes. If I was asked, his personality is gentle. And above all, his face is well-proportioned. There’s no doubt that he will absolutely make women cry in the future.

Contrary to Eleanor-neesan having interests in the sword, Sylvion-niisan is interested in books and studying.

They seem to be completely opposite of each other.

Well, it is Eleanor-neesan.

It was to the extent that Sylvio-niisan was beaten up.

Eleanor-neesan likes the sword and aims to be a knight in the future.\nIn this age where there is a patriarchal system, even though it’s hard for a woman to become a knight, it seems like Elenor-neesan’s talent with the sword is exceptional.

Nord-tousan too, at first, he wanted her to acquire education, it seems he wished for her to be involved in domestic affairs, but, seeing that the person in question was serious, because it was seen that she had exceptional talent with the sword, she is now being taught and trained in the sword.

And, I am interested in magic for the time being.

Elna-kaasan occasionally teaches me nowadays.

「Is Al also going to read a book? 」

「Un, there are many parts that I can’t read, but, it’s interesting. 」

「Is that so? Al is good at speaking and can read, but if there are parts you can’t understand, you can ask me, okay? 」

Sylvio-niisan gives a wry smile while saying so and returns his gaze to the book. Are you really a six years old child!?

Sylvio-niisan, unlike Eleanor-neesan, is quiet, gentle and kind.

I must not lose.

ーーーーー

After eating lunch, I turn my feet towards the forest to practice magic.

It seems that there are demons in this world, but, there is not much in Coryatt village.

It’s safe because father and the vigilance committee frequently thins out the demons.

I thought that they will just unreservedly come out like in a game, but if something like that happens in the countryside, humans will perish.

However, demons roam around in swarms in places such as mana dense areas and specific forests. It’s very dangerous.

ーーーーー

All right, I’ve arrived. I don’t go deep in the forest because there are demons, and because I will get scolded if I do.

So, I enter the place that is slightly open that has been remodeled like a secret base.

An obstructive tree is cut down, the desk and chair are made by earth magic, a simple house, but there is an aim for the future.

It is a man’s own space. I long for a secret base, a comfortable place that nobody knows. I properly made one in the past.

Now then, I’ll try to challenge space magic today. I concentrated on increasing the insufficient mana until now, although I was engrossed in other magic, I didn’t try space magic, but, I’m sure that I can use it now with leeway with the current amount of mana.

Although I don’t understand the concrete amount of mana, it has increased five times more than when I was a one-year-old. I am troubled with this poor and unreasonable fuel cost.\nOkay, first is the image of the place where I want to teleport to. I will make it a short distance first.

From the hut where I am, let’s teleport to the table made with earth magic outside.

Wait, does it have to be me? Can’t I just teleport this pebble there? Suddenly, teleporting a man became a high hurdle. With this, even if I fail, it’ll be all right.

Many times more than the usual amount of mana was used.

Then, mana wraps around the pebble on my hand and it takes on a light blue light.

Then, I glance towards the table.

「Teleport! 」1

When I uttered the word, the pebble vanished with a poof.

*kan*2 *korokoro*3

The pebble suddenly appears from the previous empty space in my line of vision, it falls on the table and rolls around. The time lag is hardly felt.

Suppressing my throbbing heart caused by excitement, I teleport even more pebbles, branches, dust on leaves, and anything I could collect on top of the table and chair.

「Wow! This is incredible! As expected of Kamisama! 」

It’s amazing! This is wonderful! Although there are still a few gaps, I was really able to teleport things!

If you have this power, you don’t have to clean up and you also don’t have to carry luggage either!  I can also counterattack Eleanor-neesan without being exposed! This is wonderful!

For this thought to first come to my mind even if it can be called peaceful, I wonder if that’s good or if I’m an idiot.

Un, come to think of it, I can earn money with teleportation. This is all for the sake of living an elegant slow life!

All right, time for the next experiment. I wonder what rules exist.

I have a feeling that the amount of mana used was different for the pebble and the leaf.

This time, I carry a large heavy rock that I can barely carry with both of my hands.

*gunununu*4 It’s so heavy!

「Magic Clothing! 」5

Fuー6, I cover and reinforce this three years old child’s body with mana because the rock was heavy.

However, it will cause muscular pain if this is done for a long time, but it’s still safe for a three years old child if it’s only done for a little while.\n8*buzz*/*swish* ; SFX for the sound of an insect
