After breakfast, I rode a horse with Arna and went to the village.

We often rode horses, but since we didn’t have to go anywhere, the only thing Arna or I rode was when we took turns going hunting.

This guy also spent four years here, so it must have been a really long time for a guy who lived half the life of a human.

“It’s really comfortable to go together like this.”

I wasn’t carrying Arna on my back, nor was I running with her. But the speed is much faster than that.

Is this what it felt like to have a car?

So soon we came to Ende village.

When I returned to the village after 4 years, nothing had changed at all, as if I had returned in a day.

Cheshire was alone in the store.

Larisa, who was talking about starting a new business or something, had not gone anywhere, and the store remained the same.

“Oh, welcome.”

Cheshire welcomed us with a smile.

“I was worried because there was no news for a while. How much is this? Haha.”

After I became more accustomed to living in the forest, I didn’t have to go to the village anymore.

Then, as soon as he saw my younger body, he nodded, saying he understood what was coming.

“It’s because of the warrior’s body. We will prepare it right away.”

Cheshire immediately began preparing for a leap forward in growth. I looked at him and asked vaguely.

“But where did Larissa go?”

“Ah, there is a child who wants to learn magic these days, so I went to tell him about it. They liked me because I was a talented kid.”

By the way, I told you something like that happened. Since this was 4 years ago, are you teaching another child now?

“I am eager to use alchemy to destroy all the gold I have saved and try again to recover it. Even when I told him it was impossible, he didn’t listen.”

“Yes? You got rid of it all like that?”

“I’m glad you paid off the debt to me and got rid of it. what. Then please wait a moment.”

Cheshire laughed and went inside the store.

You can’t believe you wasted all the gold you earned like that. What on earth are you doing with alchemy to make with gold?

While I was trying to understand, I heard urgent footsteps outside.

“Cheshire! Cheshire! What should I do?”

Larissa, who rushed in with the child on her back, came in looking for Cheshire and was startled when she saw us.

“Uh, uh… What happened? Ji-hoo, you’ve gotten younger again?”

“I have something to ask you. What’s going on so you come in in a hurry?”

“Ah, that… There was a problem while teaching magic.”

Just then, Cheshire came out.

“What’s going on? Another accident… .”

“Cheshire! We’re in big trouble! Please come here for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Cheshire was surprised to see the child Larissa brought.

“What have you done?”

“I was just showing a magic demonstration… . I did what I always did, but suddenly it happened like this. What should I do?”

Cheshire, who stopped what he was doing for a moment, hurriedly cleared the table, and Larissa laid down the child she was carrying on her back.

It was a human girl with curly hair. It looks like a strange magical power is felt, as if under a spell.

Larissa This guy really hasn’t gotten over his habits yet.

“It’s acceptable because I have magic too. What if it’s still like this?”

“Oh, no! I just gave you a real demonstration… !”

Larissa threw up her hands as if she was truly aggrieved.

“This is what happened because he was following what I showed him and accidentally blew up.”

“No, you just showed me and you followed along? It’s been two days since you went to teach, right?”

“Yes! I mean. This guy is weird! Oh, no, try something else. Huh?”

Cheshire looked at the child in confusion and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Somehow, the magic power went out of control with just one spell. It looks like the amount of magical power he was born with was considerable.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it?”

I asked and Cheshire nodded.

“It is best to wait until things get better on their own. To stabilize magic power, more magic power is needed, and this is a difficult task for me.”

“What? This big guy doesn’t even have that much horsepower?”

Larissa grabbed Cheshire’s arm and shook it as if she couldn’t believe it, and Cheshire sighed and shook his head.

“Horse power and body are unrelated. Wasn’t Larissa also a pretty great mage with that small body?”

At that time, Arna, who was quietly watching, touched the girl’s body.

I think I could do anything with the abilities of an elf.

“Arna?”

“Elf sister… Please do something!”

As Arna touched it, the girl’s magical power gradually stabilized. Even his rough breathing gradually became stable.

“Sister, what did you do?”

“… I don’t know either.”

Arna looked at the girl’s condition with the same puzzled expression as us.

“It looks like Arna’s magic power has suppressed this girl’s magic power.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it seems to have responded to the overwhelming magical power.”

Cheshire raised his glasses and looked interested.

“As expected, you are an elf.”

“Wow, it’s amazing!”

Cheshire and Larissa each expressed their admiration.

“It seems that this child’s talent also has an influence. Although he has a lot of magical power, his reactions also seem to be quite sensitive.”

It was a story about accepting without resistance no matter what magic was used. Is it the exact opposite of my strong personality?

“It is difficult to learn magic at first, but as time goes by, the speed at which you adapt to magic will become considerably faster. A child like this should go to an academy and learn systematic magic rather than learning street magic in places like this.”

“Gi, street magic! Larissa-style magic, don’t you know?”

“Anyway, I’ll have to explain it better when I wake up. First of all, I will get back to what I was doing.”

Cheshire didn’t react differently to Larissa’s muttering, but sighed softly and went back into the store.

And we stood around the sleeping girl and waited for her to wake up.

The child, who had been sleeping comfortably, soon slowly opened his eyes.

“Umm, teacher… .”

“Uh, are you okay?”

When the girl woke up, Larissa held her body as she woke up with wide eyes and worry.

“What happened?”

“Yes, you were using magic alone and suddenly collapsed.”

“Uh… … Did you do that?”

When the girl opened her eyes, her eyes were dark green. Around his neck was a silver necklace that appeared to be a religious symbol.

He looks to be about five or six years old now, and is quite calm even in this situation.

The girl woke up, rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up.

“I’m better now. Please tell me the magic again.”

“But I think it might get a bit dangerous if I continue. I think it would be a good idea to go to an academy or something to learn magic later.”

Although she said it was Larissa’s style of magic, she also tried to persuade the girl as Cheshire had said.

It would probably be better not to create something for which you have to take responsibility. Because I don’t know what will happen.

“How about it? Wouldn’t that be okay? Your teacher or this guy from Cheshire can write you a letter of recommendation.”

Larissa smiled sheepishly and spoke as sweetly as she could.

You can talk in such a friendly tone. that’s interesting.

“Oh, the academy?”

“Tell your mom or dad. I think it would be difficult for me to teach you. If you find it difficult to talk, I will come with you and tell you. If it’s your talent, you should learn it, even if it means taking on debt. Because if you become a proper wizard, you can earn a ridiculous amount of money for academy tuition.”

If a wizard living in a corner store said this, it wasn’t very persuasive.

Anyway, the girl looked extremely embarrassed when the topic of her parents came up.

no way… Are you not there? ?

Arna, who noticed that she was embarrassed, grabbed the girl’s hand.

“What is your name?”

“Ah, me. It’s Remia.”

“Remia was sick, but she got better because I helped her.”

Arna looked at Larissa as she said those words.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I help you?”

“Yes? what… It looks like you’ll be fine today, but are you okay?”

Nevertheless, Larissa seemed reluctant to take on a job that might be dangerous.

“I have nothing to do now. are you okay. Didn’t Larissa say there was something you wanted to know from me?”

So Larissa opened her eyes and smiled.

“Ah, ah! Right?”

As Arna offered to help, as if it were obvious, Larissa seemed to feel that she was one step closer to Arna.

Since I really wanted to know about elven magic, this would be a good opportunity for him as well.

“Is Jihoo okay too?”

“I don’t care.”

Now that she can learn magic again, Remia’s expression brightens.

“, are you helping me?”

“Yes, I will help you.”

Arna smiled brightly and patted Remia’s head.

Seeing Arna being kind to a young child makes me feel happy.

“Wow… . Actually, Mom and Dad seem to be having a hard time these days. I thought the academy would cost a lot of money… .”

“It’s okay. I’ll let you learn magic here.”

“Then you must come to town often.”

Cheshire, who was making medicine inside, stuck his head out and asked.

“If you have time, I have a favor to ask you.”

“If there is anything to do, I will help you.”

“Oh, you mean the hero?”

While Arna is here and teaching that kid, I have nothing to do but play alone.

“Don’t ask people to do strange things or things that are too difficult.”

“Of course. If you help me, I will reward you accordingly.”

In his hand was the completed elixir of growth.

“Yes. And we also need the recovery medicine we took before.”

“Ah, I have made that. I will give it to you when you return. Is there anything else you need? Just say anything. Haha.”

When I told him that I would help him with what kind of help he wanted, he was already so excited that he started giving out various things.

Maybe I should have listened to what was going on and said I would do it… ?

Cheshire smiled cheerfully and held out the elixir to me.

“Let’s try this first.”
