I sit on the floor in my room. Around me, there were board-like wards, on which various scenes were projected.



"Oh, this place looks nice. I feel at home by the lake.



　What are you doing?　I'm looking for the perfect place to set up residence for me to retreat to.



　I want to be near a body of water. A quiet, serene atmosphere is also important. We can get rid of the demons in the area at ...... and put up some wards. Maybe.



　I'd like to concentrate on the search.



Tail!　I want to be fluffed up today!"



"That's enough, little girl!　I am Master Harte's follower and have no reason to follow you."



Fluff!



"So!　I give myself entirely to Master Hurt... don't jump on me out of nowhere! I'm not going to let you catch me!



"Mm-mm-mm, te-ya!"



"Ha!　You can't do it again. You deserve credit for your willingness to try, but you're going to hit the wall--ah!　From the side that said: ....... Hey Charlotte, are you okay?　Does it hurt?　Are you hurt?



I got you!



"d*mn, you childishly conspire against me!　Don't hold so tight.



　What are you guys doing in my room?　It's too loud. I can't concentrate.



　A beautiful girl maid with red hair, a red tail, and dog-eared hair was lying on the floor. A young girl is hugging her tail and fluffing it as much as she can.



　The beautiful girl is Flame Fenrir, whom I met when I was a baby, and she has changed into a humanoid. Her name is Frey. She is now working for me in the castle and wears a maid's uniform.



　She looks exactly the same as when we first met.

　He says he will live a thousand years and that his actual age is about 170. He doesn't know his exact age.



　And the little one is my sister-in-law, Charlotte. She's only seven years old, but she's a strong one to have tricked the Freys!



Will you get out of my way?



"No, there's no reason ...... for you to be here," said a weary Frey.



　I've never known that the tail is a weak point. If I mess up in any way, I'll be punished with this. I can enjoy the fluff too.



"What are you doing, Mr. Aniue?" And that's Charles.



　Children don't listen. Don't answer a question with a completely unrelated question. But I'm trying to be a big brother.



"I'm looking for a place to do my magical research."



　Charles knows a lot of things about me, so I tell him some of my goals and secrets.



　Currently, only my parents and Frey know that I was a prince. I myself am not supposed to know.

　It is public knowledge that my magic level is 2, but only my parents and I know that I have no attributes. It seems that having no attribute is the most irregular of irregularities, and they claim that I have the element of earth in me. I guess they will find out soon.

　And only I know that I can only use warding magic.



　But you know what?



"Secret place," right?　To fight against the evil one."



　Charu has a strange delusion that I am . Too bad.



"Yes. Don't tell anyone, okay?"



"I don't want him to find out, you know."



　The little girl's smiling face is so cute and smiling, but I sincerely hope she will wake up soon.



"I wish I could be your friend too, soon.



"Char is much more talented than I am. It won't be long now."



　No," said Charu, shaking his head. Frey shuddered, perhaps from the vibration.



I can't do what you're doing. This is amazing!



　I can only use warding magic.

　But it's so far away from the common sense of this world that I've been bluffing that . Frey agrees with me.



"I still can't believe it. Are you sure your magic level is 2?"



"Straw string,Shinariremahen ......"



　As for that, I thought something was wrong too.

　Maybe the problem is that the measuring crystal can only display two digits.



　So once, I analyzed the measuring crystal and made it by myself with warding magic.

　The result was--.



　

　No change in [002]/[002].





　The highest number in the history of mankind is 77, so it can't be four digits, right?

　It was quite a task to make a three-digit display, and I don't have the energy to build a four-digit display measuring instrument right now. I would rather spend my time on the research of warding magic.






　CONCLUSIONS.

　I can use warding magic very efficiently. The only condition for this is that I have no attribute.

　I guess the advantage I got from some goddess is that it's useful warding magic. I'm not sure, but maybe.



　I don't want to dwell on this topic too much, and it's time to let Frey go. She's kind of jumpy with her hips.



"By the way, Frey, don't you have something to do?"



　I didn't ask him what he wanted because he was tangled up with Charu right after I visited his room.

　When I instructed Char to leave the room, Frey, who was finally free, straightened his posture. He was sitting on his haunches, which is his specialty. You were so jumpy just a moment ago...



"The man from Gordo has been calling for Mr. Harte with disrespect..."



"Dad?　What do you want?"



　Don't tell me you're not practicing your sword again. It's too much work to go outside.

　I don't know.　Frey, who could not even run an errand, tilted his head, but Charu answered cheerfully.



Today is the day our guests are coming.



"Guests?　...... Ah!"



　I forgot. Someone was coming from King's Landing to inspect the frontier counties, so I was told to meet him together. I'm the eldest son after all. Charles is excluded because he's too much of a child.



　I hurriedly changed into my formal clothes and ran out of the room.
