Chapter 177: Walking Ice Magic Tool?
「Al, do you have a good idea to bribe Sheila? I an, Asmo and I are living next to each other after all. At this rate, it will only be a matter of ti before neechan and Sheila et with each other. I’ll be out after my neechan beat up. When that happens, I will have to tell her about my dear friend Al to Eleonora-sama the mont she returns 」
Torr said with a sowhat disgusting act.
If your thought of as your important friend, then you won’t tell on , right. If it wasn’t because of that, then everything will be fine……
So I thought in my mind without saying it directly.
The ti limit is until Ema-oneesama cos ho.
It’s fine to say that Sheila-san will et Ema-oneesama when she hung around in front of her house.
When that happens, then Torr will betray in the future, and I’ll get beaten up by Eleonora-neesan when she returns.
……I have to imdiately deal with this.
「Rather than that, give water! Why are you not serving even a glass of water despite inviting a guest into your house!」
Just when Torr and I were talking about how to evade our sisters’ punishnt, the nearby Asmo said that exasperatedly.
「The heck, we’re currently talking sothing important. You can get water by yourself」
「You’re making , a guest, work!? Fine then, I’ll just ask Al to get so water with magic!」
「Oi, Asmo. You’re saying that it’s fine to let a guest, and a noble at that, work for you?」
Shouting like that while trying to make Torr work, aren’t you just like Torr?
When I asked that and objected to his words, Asmo says without feeling ashad,
「I an, if we bring Al in, then Ice will co out」
「That’s true, isn’t it! When it cos to this season, Al is the person in charge of making drinks!」
Torr said sothing I don't understand, taking advantage of what Asmo said.
Well, I don’t like the idea of being Torr and Asmo’s servant, it’s irritating but I’m also becoming thirsty so I will prepare so drinks.
I cast Earth magic while sitting on the chair. Make three cups with just the right size, then put so ice-block with Ice magic. Then complete it by using Water magic to add water to the cups.
「Here, it’s done」
After I said that, the two of them imdiately drink from the cup in silence, perhaps they were already thirsty.
I can hear them greedily swallowing the water, and after that, they vigorously slamd the cup on the table.
「Puhaa! So good! Being able to drink cold water in sumr like this is happiness itself!」
「The cold water is perating my body!」
Truly flawless behavior like a middle-aged man who drinks ale in a bar.
Oh well, cold drinks are tastier than any other in this hot season after all. It would be understandable for these two to act like that.
There’s no villager who can use Ice magic, and it’s impossible for the villagers to have high-grade Ice magic tools in the village.
I also drink from my cup while thinking about that kind of thing.
The Ice magic-chilled water enters my mouth, quenching my thirst. As I drink it all at once, it directly passed through the back of my throat and smoothly entered my stomach.
The heat from my body that was flushed by the outside sunlight and the hot weather is being chased away by the cold sensation, giving a refreshing feeling.
「Puhaaa! So good!」
When I co to my senses, I had also slamd my cup onto the table just like the two of them before.
Does cold water feel this good if we’re in hot sumr?
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to try to chill and drink the fresh spring water from the mountain the next ti I climb one.
It‘s bound to be better than the previous water I made using magic.
No, it’ll definitely taste better. It was the mont when I decided it to be so.
「「Al, another one!」」
「Yes yes」
Since Torr and Asmo presented their cups to , I also included my own cup into the mix and pour more water using Water magic to the cups.
As soon I poured the water into the cups, Torr and Asmo imdiately drank it all and asked for more.
They’re very thirsty apparently.
After drinking the third cup, the two of them finally calms down as they stopped asking for more.
「Al is so convenient, I want one in my family」
「Stop with that kind of complint will ya」
I wonder if Roomba is the first person who started saying things like that?
I feel that that kind of complint has strangely beco stuck with people.
As I’m drinking from my cup while thinking about that, Torr asks.
「Hey, Al. Can you make sothing like a huge Ice with magic? If so, then I think it could make this house cooler」
「Ahー, certainly. If you just place sothing like big ice inside, then it’s going to beco cool inside」
Human is, after you satisfy one of their desire, they’ll co up with another one.
It looks like Torr and Asmo - who had their desire satisfied - wanted to have a cooler temperature.
「It is indeed hot. Then, I’ll make it cooler! But setting up so ice is not enough you know!」
Despite thinking along those lines, I feel the sa as the two of them, so I imdiately jumped on their suggestion.
After I got off the chair, I raise both of my arms and hold them to the air and cast Ice magic.
Then, cold air was released all over Torr’s house.
The released white, cold air spreads inside the room as if it was trying to eliminate the hot air.
「「Uoooooooohhhhhhh!? So cool!」」
Tor and Asmo shouted excitedly as they basked in the cold air.
「Amazing Al! You can even do sothing like this! Now you’ve been promoted from the person in charge of drinks to releasing cold air!」
I won’t be happy at all even if you praised like that.
「He’s a walking Ice magic tool!」
Now you completely ignoring my rights as a human.
「Let’s close the door so the cold air won’t escape outside for now」
Since Torr and Asmo are really impressed by the cold air to the extent that they don’t want to move from their spot, I close the doors and windows of the house with Psychic.
Fuu, now the temperature inside won’t increase for a while.
I cast the non-attributed magic Light inside the room since it’s becoming dim, guess it’s because there is no sunlight coming in.
I only made around five balls of lights inside the room and maintained it.
「Un, now it’s as bright as dayti」
After I’m satisfied with the brightness inside the room, Torr and Asmo - who had finally cald down - say with strange looks.
「……I’ve always wondered about it, but Al is actually quite an amazing magician, isn’t he? 」
「He doesn’t run out of magic power like us」
I heard Torr and Asmo mutter to each other while sending a questioning gaze at how did I do it.
「Hmmー, I wonder about that? It seems like my application of using magic is different from other people in general, I don’t quite understand it myself」
I know that my magic power is so large that they’re poles apart from the average person thanks to Kami-sama, but I’m not even sure how to answer if people ask about my actual skill in using magic.
I’m better in terms of control compared with the magicians from the Silver Wind - Aleutia and Ilya -, but I don’t have experience in the fighting abilities that are required to live in this world.
To begin with, I don’t understand the value of a magician that this world needs.
If it were about making Jenga using Earth magic then I’m confident to be able to make it quickly, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be needed.
Rather, I have no intention of contributing to the country using magic nor do I want to work hard, so there’s no need to think too much about it
I can live a rich slow life with just my current magic skill and Space magic.
That’s more than enough.
「……hey, Al. I got an idea, how about treating Sheila here to keep her mouth shut?」
「That’s not a bad idea. We got iced water and the cold air to dispel the heat. It’s quite possible to use that for a negotiation」
For Sheila-san - who’s currently suffering from the heat - it can be said that Torr house is heaven right now.
If we provide her such a comfortable place to spend her ti, then even Sheila-san would probably keep silent about things, right?
「How about it Asmo?」
「……I think that’s possible since neechan is weak with the heat. But just to make sure, it might be perfect if you can also treat her to so food for the souvenirs………」
「I see! Sheila-san loves to eat after all! If things go wrong, let’s persuade her by making so food using the seasonings from the bunch of souvenirs!」
This seems like it’s going to work. The future of Torr and are shining brightly!
Torr and I smiles at each other as our expression brightened.
「Alright, let’s invite her right away!」
「Wait up Torr! She might be wary that there’s going to be sothing behind it if you invite from here. Now we need to lead her to co here from the other side and then convince her」
「I see! If so, co to this window here Al!」
Torr imdiately understood after hearing my idea and quickly moved toward the window-side.
That was the closest place between Torr’s house and Asmo’s house.
It was such a close distance that they can easily talk to each other if both of their house’s windows were opened.
「Can you send the cold air from the Ice magic like before from here? If you do that then the cold air should be able to enter Asmo’s house from the gap in Asmo house’s wooden window」
「As expected from Torr. The best tactician of Koryatt village」
「Hehehe, stop it. It only works due to the wise Al’s intelligence」
Torr returned the praise while being modest when I take advantage of the situation to praise him.
Torr and I got along really well at tis like this.
「……the both of you are just cunning」
「「That’s rude」」
