53 02. Good people, still growing




 The plotter of Eliza's kidnapping decides to throw her into the city's jail first.

 At first I thought I'd put on the magic cuffs as usual and release her in the hope that she would reform.

"They wanted the emperor, so I'm not afraid of the death penalty.

 I don't know if that's a strong statement or not.

 I don't know if that's bullshit or not, but if they really aren't afraid of death, releasing them while wearing the Magic Cuffs doesn't make sense, it doesn't solve anything.
 So I've decided to restrain them and lock them up for now.

 After watching the kidnappers being taken away after being torn apart by physical techniques, I turned to Eliza and Mia, both in their dresses and in the wild.

 I see them in their dresses and a group of onlookers.
 They both stand out like crazy.

 I don't know what we're going to do at this point, but for now--

Let's go back to the mansion.
Okay.
I understand.
Then I'll use my teleportation magic.

 Then they gave a small nod and came to my left and right.

 I heard the onomatopoeia in my head.
 Mia hugged me, so that my chest was just pressed against the side of her head at her height.

Mmm.

 Immediately after Eliza moaned softly, she too hugged my head, as if to counteract it.

 Eliza and Mia, from the left and right, pinned my head between their breasts to sandwich my head.

You're losing on size: ......

 Overhead, Eliza murmured something.

Eliza, what did you say?
"Anything! I told him there's still a lot of room for growth.

 When I asked again, for some reason Eliza's lips twitched and she replied with a slight sulk.
 I'm not sure why we're talking about growing up.

Yes, Eliza is still young.
"You can't lose to .......

 I don't know what I'm winning or losing.
 Eliza doesn't seem to want to talk about it, so she listens and uses instantaneous movement magic with the two of you.

 It's a spell that makes you fall into the air and then fall toward your destination.

 The speed is so fast that Eliza and Mia's chest is pressed hard against the side of my head.
 It feels a little smoldering and soft. It smells good.
 I almost feel a little naughty, but I try to act normal so that they don't realize it.

 Fortunately, I'm back at Carlisle's house in a flash.
 First Mia pulled away from me, and then Eliza.

 Eliza, who was acting a little strange earlier, has returned to her normal state.

"Hey Alec, that was amazing back there. Have you been practicing?
Are you referring to that thing you just did with body art?
"Yes.
"No, I didn't. I never really cared about it to begin with. Magic is more convenient.
I see.

 As Eliza agreed, magic is much more useful to me.
 Partly because of the Philosopher's Stone and partly because of the SSS rank of magic.
 I can do almost anything I set my mind to do with magic.

 I've felt that convenience since I was reborn, so I never thought of doing something with pure physical strength.

I just had an idea for that earlier, and I was trying it out.

 Then I walk away.
 I'll be accompanied by two people who naturally follow me to the rocks I've just pulverized.

 The rocks are still shattered and uncluttered.

"Yeah, that's what Alec did.
Yes, on the non-magical side.

 Saying that, he cast a spell on the rock scrap and returned it to its original form, a nine-meter-high pile of rocks.

 Then he struck it helplessly.
 Thanks to the gradual acclimation to the physical assault, in about half the time of the first strike, the huge rock was shattered again.
 With his bare hands he flattened a small mountain.

"Oh, ......

 Mia exclaimed, looking impressed.

'Huh? You saw Mia earlier, right?
No, I only saw it after it was destroyed. I've never seen the process shattered by such a tremendous attack.
I see.

"......
What's wrong with you, Eliza, you can't stare at that rock or anything.
Alec, you just put this back together. With magic.
"Yes.
"Will you try again?
"......? I get it.

 I don't know why you would ask me to do that, but it's just as well because the rocks were originally part of the garden landscape and I was going to put them back at the end.

 Cast a spell and repair the shattered rock.

 The shattered rock reverted back to a giant rock, a miniature Mount Morrison, like an image played in reverse.
 I stared at it--no.
 Eliza, who stared at me as I did it, nodded with a satisfied look on her face.



Yeah, I was right.
What do you mean "still"?
"Alec, your magic is getting stronger.
"Huh?

 The words I didn't expect to hear stopped me in my tracks for a moment.

I don't think that's true." ......
No, it's definitely getting stronger.
"I wonder.
"I'm sure it's because I say so: ...... I've been looking at it all week.

 I couldn't hear the last part because he was grumbling and pretty much whispering, but the confidence of the first half came through.

You should try it if you want.
"If you say so, I'll give it a try.

 I called the servants and had them bring the gold to me.
 There is far more gold in front of me than the first time I tested my magic.

 There are many ways to check the amount of magic, but with my magic, it's too powerful to be measured without the gold.

 So I had the gold ready.
 It was brought to me, and I held my hand over it to release my magic.

 Instantly, the gold disappeared without a trace.
 The amount of gold that was impossible to make before is now easily made.

It's true: ...... is up. ...... Why?
What are you talking about? That's a given.
"Huh?

 She turns to Eliza.
 She crosses her arms - a gesture that oddly emphasizes her breasts - and half-heartedly says, "Alec, you told me I was still young.

"Alec, you told me I was still young,
"Huh? Yeah, I guess so.
"Alec is even younger, or at least younger. You're still growing by all accounts.
"More than this!
"...... Oh!

 To Mia's horror, I clapped my hands together with a normal, convincing smile.

 Come to think of it, yes.
 It's easy to forget that I'm only ten years old when I'm reincarnated.

 In the other world, I wished to be reincarnated as a human.

 A human and a ten-year-old.

 Then my physical and magical powers would be better and better.
 Then my strength and witchcraft would be sure to grow up more and more in the future.
