Episode 397: Yuma (9)

(These Last Few Chapters Are Canon To The Main Story)

Zap!

A small, tiny finger. Blue lightning formed between the girl’s index fingers.

Without chanting, she had generated lightning with her will alone.

“N-no chant magic…”

“To generate that much lightning without a chant at 13?”

Unbelievable.

Those who witnessed the miracle sent gazes filled with astonishment.

Perhaps embarrassed by the attention, the girl with neatly braided crimson hair lowered her head and mumbled.

“W-why are you making such a fuss over just this little bit…”

“Just this little bit? To wield magic at 13 is already an extraordinary genius, but Lady Audrey uses no-chant lightning magic!”

“P-please don’t call me ‘lady’…”

The girl, overwhelmed by the attention, was named Audrey Prient.

She was the third young lady of the Prient Duchy, which had recently gained fame even at the edge of the continent.

So, it was inevitable that she would attract attention from the first day of her enrollment in a modest southern continental academy, but Audrey Prient was only embarrassed by their fuss.

After all, to her family, it was “just” something.

What was so impressive about generating a little lightning at her fingertips at 13?

Her half-sibling older brother, Yubix, had crushed a giant tree like a toothpick at the age of 5, and her half-sibling older sister, Ellis, was already involved in the duchy’s administration at 15.

To make matters worse, there was a girl named Latera, who was either her older sister, younger sister, or aunt, and despite appearing to be around Audrey’s age, she had been traversing magical realms with their father for 12 years.

In contrast, what about Audrey?

‘Still so small…’

She was a half-demon, half-human hybrid.

Compared to her other siblings, who were human+human, her growth was absurdly slow.

While her other siblings achieved feats like subduing house-sized monsters at 13…

Audrey Prient still looked like a girl under 10, often very sleepy, with her hobby being napping in flower gardens, and was generally not impressive.

Others found Lady Audrey simply adorable, but she seemed embarrassed by their attention, always scurrying back to the dormitory whenever people praised her with “Lady, you’re amazing!”

“Haa… haa…”

Audrey Prient, who had returned to the dormitory, was wiping her forehead, which wasn’t even sweating, when her roommate handed her a box with an indifferent expression.

“Audrey, something came for you.”

“…Huh?”

Audrey received the parcel with a dazed look.

It had the Prient family seal, indicating it was from home, but Audrey’s face lit up at the box’s crimson exterior.

“It’s from Mom!”

Audrey, excited, tore open the wrapping paper, forgetting her roommate was watching.

It couldn’t be helped. Although she had wanted to study abroad herself, she was lonely in a foreign place.

“…?”

But why? Audrey’s expression hardened as she opened the box’s contents.

No, rather than hardened… it was more like, “Why is this here?”

“A horn?”

Inside the box was a crimson horn.

It was a familiar horn. Audrey recognized “whose” horn it was at a glance, to the point of guessing where it had been attached.

‘W-why is this here…’

Audrey, suspecting something significant had happened, unfolded the letter that came with the horn.

‘Could it be…’

It was clear something had happened at home. The causal relationship between her mother, Yuma Prient’s horn being sent to her daughter Audrey, for whatever reason.

It was certain that it would not be ordinary.

Gulp-

Audrey steeled herself and read the letter.

[Hello, Audrey. It’s me. I’m sorry for sending this parcel without notice during your busy studies.]

It was indeed her mother.

[You were surprised to receive the horn, weren’t you? I’m sorry. But don’t be alarmed, it’s nothing serious.]

Still, she was surprised.

[Please give it to the academy’s headmaster and ask them to boil it thoroughly.]

?

[It will be a great help in your magical achievements. Make sure you consume it all yourself and don’t give it to anyone else.]

[From your loving mother.]

???

That was the end of the letter.

‘What did I just read?’

Audrey tilted her head and looked at the back of the letter.

There was nothing there.

“What does it say?”

Curious, her roommate approached. Audrey stared at her blankly.

“It’s a medicinal ingredient.”

“Huh. The most prestigious family on the continent just sends medicinal ingredients by parcel.”

Normally, for medicinal ingredients, they would send someone separately to deliver them. It made her wonder how much they had to spare to send it like this.

Meanwhile, Audrey was thinking,

‘How on earth did it break…’

She just felt sorry that her mother’s only remaining horn had broken.

‘I hope nothing bad happened.’

Thinking that, Audrey hugged the horn tightly and ran to the academy headmaster’s office.

—————

Slurp… slurp slurp. Slurp. Mmph.

A sex village.

No, a mansion in the Prient Duchy.

In a room filled with intense heat and love, a dry and terrible sound was heard.

Snap-

“…”

“…”

The bodies of the man and woman, who were having a passionate time, stopped simultaneously.

Yuma, who was sucking on the rod with a flushed face,

And Shiron, who was gripping the rod and sucking on it with a flushed face.

“Uh, uh…”

“Mmph. Bwoop…”

They were in the middle of passionately enjoying each other, with him holding onto the horn, when…

The horn broke.

“…”

Yuma’s mouth movements stopped.

‘This is bad.’

The man, who was vigorously holding the horn and moving his hips, looked down.

Drip-

Yuma, unable to stop, was crying.
