168-Episode 40: I'm glad my wife is a common sense person



 Ark and Leila are shooting magic at each other in the city's field.

'Take this one! Firelance!
"Ice Shield.
All right! Sandstorm!
"Explosions.

 An intense exchange of magic.
 However, even after being exposed to the magic of the two of them, seeing that the building was only slightly damaged, though not unscathed, it was probably made of special building materials.

''Sh, Master........''
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. My kids are on their own.
'No, that's fine but you're not ten years old yet by all accounts, are you?
You're eight years old.
'Why do you normally use magic?'
I mean, this isn't just normal magic!

 And then an idea fell into my head.

'Yes. "Well, since it's time to go, why don't you hold a mock battle against those two?

 Kite and the other students arrived at just the right time.
 They had never given them a mock battle against multiple sorcerers before.

''Eh? What's with those kids...?
You're a child, aren't you? Why do you keep firing off such powerful magic in rapid succession?
That and a mock-up? No, no, no, no, no, I can't.
You'll be killed...

 Unfortunately, the students looked frightened and frantically shook their heads from side to side.

''Master I'm sorry, but I'm not sure about the mock battle...''
'Don't worry about being a kid, okay? Those two are well trained by me, and they shouldn't die so easily.
""We're the ones who are going to die!"

 For some reason, the students have been complaining to me.
 I can't help but laugh.

'Haha, no way. They're just kids, you know?
It's not on a child's level by any means!

 Laina pokes my head in.

'Hey, don't push it too hard. You're in trouble. And you need to learn some common sense.

 Hmmm, it doesn't feel right, but if you're going to say that much, it can't be helped.

''Good thing Master's wife is a sensible person...''
Well....

 Kite and Kufa were exhaling with relief.






 After a quick tour of the academy, it was getting dark.
 Thinking that it was time to find a place to stay.

In that case, you'll have to stay at my house.

 That's what Kite had suggested, so I decided to take him up on his offer.
 Kite's house was located in a residential area that was a good enough walk from the Red Academy.

''Heh, it's a fine house.''

 Because it is a city on an island, the land is limited, so the housing in the magical city is not very large.
 That's why there are many apartment complexes, but Kite's house was a single house with a garden.
 Well, the teachers of the magic academy are highly paid, so they must be wealthy.

''Right now I'm living with my wife.
You're married?
Yes. A year ago.

 I'd say I'm still a newlywed.

Am I interrupting?
Yeah, no problem. I've already told my wife.

 We've been together ever since we met, but when did I tell him?

I'm home.
Welcome back.

 When I go up to the house, Koofa, who I left at school, shows up from the back of the house.
 Kite tells me, a little shyly.

'Um, this is my wife Koofa,'
What?
We're married. Kite wanted me to, so I had to.

 Hmm, I had the impression that they were always fighting at the time, but I didn't expect them to get married.

''Talking like that, Koofa-chan, you were actually in love with Kaito-kun since you were in your home village!
Hey, Colette! I'm telling you, it's not!
Okay.

 Furthermore, the last of the trio that popped up from the back of the house was the last of the trio, who hadn't changed much in appearance since then.

''Arel-san! It's been a while!

 Apparently, he heard from Kufa that I was coming and rushed all the way over.
 He's currently working as an assistant teacher at the Yellow Academy.

''Aren't you rather the one who needs an auxiliary?
Oh, that's terrible! It's true that I get pissed off for breaking equipment all the time, but...

 It didn't seem to have changed on the inside either.

 Since we hadn't seen each other in ten years, we had a great time talking over dinner.
 Well, I was just randomly chatting about what happened after I left this city.

''Mythical grade demons as followers........''
As usual, I don't know what you mean...
Great job, Master!

 That being said, as I was talking to the three of them, I noticed something.

'What are those bruises on your necks, all three of you?
'What? Oh, it's true.
I have one too.
Me too.

 There was a mark on the base of his neck that looked like he had been bitten by a wild dog.
 And all three of them.

''Normally, it should be healed with some blessing.
Yes.
I mean, how did you notice this?
I had no idea until you told me.

 It's a bit of a strange phenomenon, but well, you wouldn't know it if you thought about it.

''Mmmmmm........''

 Leila was on the verge of falling asleep now, probably because her stomach was so full.
 Ark was also biting off a lack of growth.

''Ha, they both look tired. Well then, I'll show you your room.''
Well, I'm going to go home now.
Oh, Colette, are you leaving already?

Yeah, yeah.

 I take back my previous statement. Colette seems to have gotten a little sick.

 Thus, today, I'm going to rest at Kite and Kufa's house--.

 It was in the middle of the night that something strange happened.
