219-Episode 217: Makoto Takatsuki does not worry




"Do you want the Sun King Alec my brother for your man?
 The Goddess of the Sun (Althena) told me an extraordinary thing.

 The son of the God King, the Hero of the Sun (Alexandre).
 He's a perfect match for the hero of light, Sakurai-kun, who defeated him with a single blow, but...

No ... no, thank you.
 The man who took Sa-san's life and did terrible things to Friae, even though he was resurrected.
 He was a factor in my temporary death, and I wasn't about to welcome him to the party.

''Well....
 The Sun Goddess (Altena) looked a little disappointed.

 That's when my vision blurred.

'Mako, it's time.'
I understand. Thank you for your concern. Lady Noah. Thank you, Althena-sama, Eir-sama, and Ila-sama for talking to me about everything.
 I knelt down and bowed my head.

'Takatsuki Mako, if you have any trouble, push everything to Ila.
Ugh....
Yes, sir.
 Ila-sama is disappointed by the relentless words of the Sun Goddess (Altena).

'Bye~, Mako-kun.'
 Eil-sama has his usual smile.

''........''
 
 Soon my consciousness fell into a slumber.



◇Lucy's point of view ◇.


 I woke up.
 The sun is shining through the window.
 ........oversleeping.
 Up until yesterday, I hardly slept and practiced my training, but when Makoto came back to life, I felt relieved and distracted.......
 Well, I guess it's okay.

I'm going to go see him.
 I got out of bed and went to the mirror to fix my hair and wash my face. 
 Then I quietly walked into Makoto's room.

I mean, you're not there!
 The bed was empty.
 I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done. 

 I sighed and went down the stairs.


"~~~~~~~~~~~~~


 I hear a good mood humming from the cafeteria.
 I could smell the good smell of freshly baked bread.
 I hear the sound of boiling soup and the sound of a frying pan frying a ham.
 A girl in a pink apron was standing in the kitchen.

'Aya, good morning,'
Good morning! Roo-chan.
 My best friend looked back at me with a big smile.
 This inn is a private one and we are supposed to make our own meals.
 Aya said it was more fun that way.

'Have you seen it, Makoto?'
He said he's going to train in the garden.
'You should have rested. Aya's in a good mood.
 I can't believe I was crying through it yesterday.
 Well, I was in a similar situation, so I can't speak for others.

"Mmmm... Takatsuki-kun said, 'Don't push yourself. I'll protect you," he said.
Yeah, huh?
 Oh, look at that guy.
 You do have a pretty cool line.
 I wish you'd say something to me.

Yeah! I said it too. "Let's be together forever and ever. Don't ever leave me, even if I die. And then he said, 'Okay.'
 Aya is cute when she smiles, with a smirk. 
 She's cute but.....I think it's just my imagination.

We're about to eat, so go get Takatsuki and Fu-chan.
Okay.
 Waving to Aya, I decided to head over to Mako's place in the garden.


 I was about to walk out the door into the garden when I noticed a figure.


 The Moon Priestess (Furi) was sitting on the sofa in the dining room, in a daze.
 Oh, no, it wasn't.
 Was she not a moon priestess now, but a holy woman?

 She doesn't look that different, but she seems to have some kind of divine aura.
 She is said to have the highest beauty on earth she is now in a daze as if her soul has been drained.

''Good morning, Huli.''
"................? Mr. Wizard!
 He huffed and looked at me.

Are you okay?
Yes I had a lot going on yesterday. I'm a little confused.
Of course.
 I don't think it can be helped. 

 A few days ago, out of the blue, a brave man from the sun came after Huri.
 It was fought off by Makoto, but together with him, Makoto was gone... and he died.
 All of the party members, including me, were in despair when Mako easily came back to life.
 And Furi went from being a moon priestess to a saint.
 It was a turbulent few days.

'Aya says dinner will be ready soon,'
Thank you I don't have much of an appetite, but I'll eat.
Yes, you have to eat! Because being an adventurer is physical capital! But Hooli is going to build a country now, right? Will we ever have another adventure?
Come on, I don't know...
 Huh, the sighing gesture is so s*xy.
 Mmm, even a girl like me gets a kick out of that.

Furi. I'm going to go call for Makoto now, do you want to come with me?
What? Wha, my knight?
 In a change from earlier, I became impatient with a bright red face.
 I didn't say anything strange.

I've been sick and I'm back from Hades and I'm practicing right away. Let's scold him so he doesn't overdo it.
 I said, and I tried to pull Hooli's hand away.

'Wait, wait! 'Wait, wait, wizard! Aren't you ready for this?
We're just going to the garden to get Makoto.
Wow, I'll pass on that!
Yeah?
 I had no choice but to head out on my own.

 I opened the back door and stepped outside.
 That's when I turned around and looked at Hooli.

'Well, I wonder if he's not red in the face...'
 While touching her own cheeks, the whispering voice of the saintly lady (Huli), who was blushing, reached my ears.

(Ah, I've fallen...)
 Sighing, I headed into the yard.



 ◇



 There was a small river flowing behind the inn.
 Makoto was sitting in front of it with his back to me.
 I walked toward him.

'Makoto! Breakfast.....
 Just as I was about to wave my hand and call out to her, 'something' passed by in front of me.

(Oh...?)
 It was a blue fish.
 About the size of a little fingernail.
 Very, very small.
 It was swimming in a school in the sky, glittering and shining.

 A fish created by water magic methods.
 The user of the magic is undoubtedly Makoto.
 However, there was one thing that bothered me.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. And its movement is like it's alive...
 Hundreds of magical fish passed gracefully in front of me with intricate movements.

''What...?''
 Something crossed in front of him again.
 It was a butterfly caused by hundreds of water magic laws.
 The butterfly, whose wings were crystal clear, was also moving intricately, as if it were alive.

 At that moment, I felt a faint magical power (mana) above my head.

 It wasn't attack magic.
 A small magical power (mana) that would not hurt anyone.
 Just a lot of it ... so much ... what is this magic power (mana)?
 I looked up at the sky.

(What is this?!)

 The sky was filled with tiny creatures created by water magic that flew freely in the air.
 Each one of them was elaborately and precisely made like a real creature.
 When I touched one of the creatures for a test, it disappeared with a puff.

 If I, who has a lot of fire magic magic (mana), touched it, it would break Makoto's water magic method.
 So, this is Makoto's magic.



 --I'm not going to be the only one who's been in control of this number of water magic.



 The magical creatures created by the water magic method glisten in the sunshine.
 Their appearance is as beautiful as a fantasy.

 However, as a wizard, I simply shuddered at this out-of-the-ordinary number of magic.
 I turned my gaze back to my lover, Makoto, as if seeing something terrible.

 He was happily playing with a black cat (Tsui). 
 What's that spare expression on his face when he's controlling this number of magic...?
 Impossible.....
 What do you mean?
 I walked through the swarm of creatures built by water magic and came to Makoto's side as I plowed through the crowd of creatures.

'Good morning, Mako!'
Good morning, Lucy.
 He seemed to notice me.
 There's no wind of surprise when I called out to him from behind.

'Hey ... this magic is Mako, right?'
 I asked, pointing at the little water magic creatures flying around in the air.

'Oh, aren't they beautiful?'
'No, I don't! The numbers! The numbers! What the hell is going on here?
You know, I'm feeling really good about this.
'You're nuts! Didn't they give you some special skills?
'Skills...? No, neither Altena-sama nor Ila-sama said anything about it, but...
'Lady Altena? Master Ila?
 The goddesses I just met yesterday who were terrifying and intimidating. 
 My body still trembles when I recall it....

''Well, but Ila-sama is out of it, so maybe I'm missing an explanation. Ila-sama, she was a screw-up, and Altena-sama was surprisingly good-natured.
"Hey, don't talk about the Goddess like that!
 What a horrible thing to say!
 What if the faithful hear this?

She'll be fine. Ila-sama and Altena-sama are both very kind. Just to be sure, I'll check the soul book...
Why do I feel so cheap for this goddess...
 While we were having this conversation, Makoto opened the Soul Book (Soul Book) and I hugged it from behind and looked into it.
 From the looks of it, there are no new skills.

''It hasn't changed, right?''
Ummm, well...
 I took a quick look at the soul book and realized.


...What?
 My eyes widen.

'Lucy, what's wrong?'
 Mako's voice reached my ears, but I couldn't get the words out.

 It was stated there that.



 --Water Magic Proficiency: 999.



 What's this?
