“Really?” (Fay)
Seeing me like that, Fay grabbed my wrist.
The candle-like light went out and at the same time, slowly and gradually, something feels itchy.
“Hey, wait, this…” (Fay)
“Okay. Just put up with it for now.” (Fay)
“Okay……” (Tougo)
I was told to be patient, but this was very hard to bear. It’s itching, it’s very itchy, it’s unbearable.
“Fay, let go.” (Tougo)
“I will. If you hold on a little longer.” (Fay)
Maybe Fay is holding my wrist to stop the flow of magic. But it’s making me uncomfortable. It makes me really itchy.
“Please, Fay.” (Tougo)
“Hold on a little more.” (Fay)
It’s not just slightly ticklish or itchy, it’s something that is inexplicably itchy!
Itchy, itchy, itchy… I know I have to learn to hold back my magic power, but I can’t!
“No more…” (Tougo)
“Oh? Oh, come on, it’s not that unbearable…” (Fay)
I grabbed Fay’s hand and tried to pull it away, and I let go of the stone. And then.
“Woah!?” (Fay)
At the same time, a beam extended from the candle and flew into the sky.
I couldn’t think about anything for a little while. I was in a daze.
“Just now, that was…? Amazing…” (Fay)
And while Fay was admiring something, I was relieved to finally stop the itching. Yeah, I don’t want to put up with that stuff like that. No more.
…and when I calmed down.
“You… Maybe it will be quite difficult for you to control your magic.” (Fay)
Fay stares at me while saying that. That’s what I’ve been saying for a while now…
“Your magic power is an exceptional amount, more than you can imagine, maybe.” (Fay)
…Huh?
The next day.
“This guy started leaking magic.” (Rose)
“Until now, he seems to have little magic power, but suddenly his magic power seems to have increased.” (Fay)
“He can’t control it and he is having trouble. Can’t you do something about it?” (Van)
…Yesterday, a doctor who examines magic power came to see me. The Redgarde family is all over me and the doctor looked troubled, but it can’t be helped.
I have also asked them to hide the fact that I am from another world. So, the only people who know I’m from another world are Fay, his brother, his father, some of the Redgarde maids, and the horses and bird.
“Hmmm… well, it’s not uncommon for magic power to suddenly increase. There have been reports of sudden increases in magical power during the growth period, but… Is there any other reason for him to increase his magic power?” (Doctor)
“What? What kind of trigger?” (Fay)
“For example, reading a special grimoire, receiving the favor of a spirit, or learning new magic… Oh, I heard that sometimes when you are in a life-threatening situation, your dormant magic power can be awakened. Yes, anything, any injuries recently?” (Doctor)
…I heard that I was bedridden for about 10 days, but I am not sure.
In the end, they didn’t know the cause. I mean… well, I almost died once, so that may be the cause, but I am, in case someone is wondering, as soon as I came to this world, I made a mochi out of a picture. So maybe… yeah, because “I’m from another world”.
I wonder what it is…
For the time being, the doctor made a diagnosis like “I’m sure he is the type that increases during the growth period” wrote down a series of treatments, and then went home.
…it’s just.
The doctor told me something troubling on the way home.
“Since you have such a high mount magical power, why don’t you aim to become a magician in the royal palace?”
…Are magicians in the royal palace allowed to draw?
“…Hey, Tougo. Do you want to be a royal court magician?” (Fay)
“No.” (Tougo)
“Well, no matter how I think about it, I’m sure that if you become a magician in the royal palace, you can’t spend all day long painting…” (Fay)
I’m glad that Fay knows me so well.
“If Tougo wants it, he can become employed by the royal palace… However, if that’s not the case, well, there’s already the talk of him becoming our house painter, so I wonder if it’s better for him to stay here.” (Roses)
I heard that Fay’s brother is positively considering making me their family painter.
“That’s right. Well, Tougo, it would be better if you were able to control your magic. For the time being, put on that seal and learn how to control your magic power.” (Van)
…and there is Fay’s father.
He gave me a “sealing tool”.
The “sealing tool” isn’t particularly scary, it seems. It is something like a correction tool for people who have suddenly increased their magic power or who have too much magic power.
It is in the form of a bracelet. It is currently on my left wrist. It’s like a wristwatch, so I don’t feel much discomfort.
The effect is that… it “seals” part of my magical power.
…That’s how I was temporarily able to reduce my magic power and practice controlling my magic power in that state.
The first thing I need to do is to get used to it, and then I can use a weaker sealing tool and practice controlling my magic power again.
When I get used to that too, they will weaken the sealing device a little more, over and over… Until I am able to control my magic power even with my original amount.
Yeah, I’m sure that will work. Let’s use this and do our best to learn to control the magic.
It’s embarrassing to have Fay call me a “bedwetter”, and first of all… if I can control the magic with this, I might be able to draw a picture properly as a picture!
…However.
My plan ran aground in a day and a half.
“Uh, how… I didn’t expect this to happen…” (Tougo)
I got the sealing tool on, practiced controlling my magic right away, painted a picture after a break because I was totally tired, then stayed at the Redgarde house, and the next day, I practiced controlling the magic again… and after about a day and a half
The seal was broken.
“… the limit one is one day.” (Doctor)
“That’s right…” (Tougo)
I went to see the doctor one more time and he told me such a hopeless thing.
It seems that my magical power is too much, and the sealing tool will become useless. What the hell happened to me?
…I did so, and I was prescribed another sealing device.
This time, well, it’s a bracelet… with a black stone in the center of it.
From now on, they are going to replace the black stone every day and take care of the replaced black stone by “releasing the accumulated magic power” to make the sealing device last longer. I heard that if you want to make the sealing tool weaker, you can just change the type of stone, so this might be a better option.
… I’ve heard that it costs a little bit more to get a new seal, but Fay’s father won’t let me pay for it. No, I certainly don’t have the money to pay for it, but…
While I was feeling a little sorry about the money, the others seemed to be thinking about something else.
“…Tougo, can you properly change the magic stone for the sealing tool once a day?” (Fay)
That’s what Fay said… I thought.
Well. I am not sure.
I don’t have the confidence to properly replace the stone once a day. It’s easy for me to forget things when I am drawing, and what’s even more troublesome is that if I forget to change the stone, the stone can explode.
Then, I have to make sure I don’t forget to change the stone, but I’m not confident that I can do it. However, if I forget to replace the stone, I’ll be in big trouble… and I am not confidence…
And so.
“All right. Then Tougo, Let’s go!” (Fay)
“Huh…” (Tougo)
From now on, I will go with Fay.
As to why that is…
“I’m going to tell you what you need. Slaves.” (Fay)
“Huh……?” (Tougo)
I’m going to have to buy a slave now, for my body.
