"...... I just got back from the Orient and my house is on fire. What is this?"

"I'm sorry, Master Alphonse. I burned it down."

　I mumble in a daze, and Hannah, who is nearby, bows her head and apologizes to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How did this happen?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that my house had been burned down while I was visiting Banagher in the Orient.

　Smoke continues to pour out of the original chief's house in the center of the village of Barca.

"Why are they doing this?　Was there something you didn't like enough to torch your house?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, sir. No, of course not. I'm grateful to Alphonse. I have no complaints.

"Then why? Does it have something to do with the fact that Mee has been in bad shape lately?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, yes. Actually, I've been able to do this. Look, look, Mr. Alphonse. I can make flames now."

　What?

　As Hannah said this, she put her hand palm up and gathered magic power.

　The next moment, a flame shot out from her palm toward the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A bright red flame was coming out.

"That's amazing. What's wrong with that?　Are you able to use magic by any chance?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I am. Yes, yes. Master Norn switched my blood with his and I's and I got hot all over. And when I tried to expel the heat from my body, a fire broke out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......?　I don't understand. What could have done that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, what is that Norn guy doing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did you switch Hannah and Mitya's blood?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Surely only a Norn could do such a thing here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what he was doing when he left the fresh-blooded soldiers as a guard to take care of the people when he left the village of Barca.

"Hmmm. Was Mee being a cat taking a toll on her body? So he replaced it with Hannah's blood, and she was able to use fire magic to control the outburst of her blood. I don't know how that's possible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a few more questions, I finally got a grasp of what was going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah seemed to have gotten over her physical discomfort by being able to produce flames with her magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seems to be in high spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As for Mitya, she seems to have lost her ability to transform into a cat since her blood has been replaced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this does not mean that everything is fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because no matter how much blood is replaced, it is only temporary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eventually, Mitya's body will produce new blood of her own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then she will be able to change her body again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, her body may be adversely affected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In order to prevent this, he will have to exchange Hannah's blood regularly in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, then, next time you swap the blood when I'm around. Or maybe Norn just wanted to borrow and drink the blood himself. Anyway, I'm glad Mee and Hannah are okay. The house is still burning, but no one seems to be hurt.

"Thank you. Dr. Ai noticed the fire and took care of it right away. We couldn't stop the fire, so we all took out what we had in the house."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I'm glad you guys are safe, as are your things. But we can't live here any longer. Let's build a new house.

　Wooden houses are very difficult to build when there is a fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think about such things as I look at the old village headman's house that continues to burn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A house with a porch is convenient to go up to the house right after training in the yard, but I think I'll make a brick house for my next house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hardened bricks should be fireproof.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I agree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since we're at this point, let's ask Ai for a blueprint and build a house using the construction method that is common in Vulcania or something.

"Master Al... mee... I feel better..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Yeah, it looks like it. That's good, Mee. I've been a little down lately, but Hannah seems to be helping me get back on track. You're all right now, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　Isn't it hard on your body?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Thanks to you, I feel better. That's why I'm fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, well, if Mee says so. But if you ever have a hard time again, just tell me or Hannah. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was looking at the burning house when Mitya spoke to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if he is really all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll keep an eye on things for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a pity that I can't catnip anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if she will be able to undergo the physical change after she is a little older and stronger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be interesting if she became magical, but I also like her as a cat, simply because she seems to feel good when I stroke her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But these two are amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought that they would have such unusual powers when they decided to educate orphans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe if we gather orphans and raise them unexpectedly, we can create sorcerers like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe we can try to educate a few more orphans here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With these thoughts in mind, I continued to watch the chief's house burn down to the last pillar and collapse.
