Chapter 211: Being A Magician
Since knight manages to stand up, I imdiately try to use Psychic on it.
Then, knight’s short legs start to slowly move, step by step.
But each ti the doll’s foot steps on the floor, it will make a sound *gan gan* - maybe it’s because of the iron plate fixed on its foot - but I don’t mind.
So using Psychic to keep the balance while moving the doll’s hands and feet although they are lacking cohesion.
「Ah, its right hand and right foot are moving at the sa ti」
It’s like a robot and it looks interesting but it’s too uncool for knight to do that.
So I move its arms and legs again while keeping in mind to not move them at the sa ti.
Then, this ti knight’s legs are entangled with each other and it fell forward.
「Hmーm, it’s difficult to make it walk using magicー」
I grumbled unintentionally while raising the collapsed knight.
And so, in order to increase my understanding of ‘walking’, I try to walk myself.
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot………first let’s properly grasp the rhythm of walking in my mind.
And next is for the balancing of body, the swinging of the arms………
Hmーm, it makes rember the ti I’m struggling to walk after I reincarnated sohow. I can’t move my limbs as I wanted to at that ti, it was hard for to get the rhythm, maybe it’s because of the new body I have.
「……say, Al? You have been going back and forth in the hallway since so ti ago, what are you doing?」
And while I was looking back to the past and walking again to confirm my rhythm, I heard Sylvio-niisan calling out to .
「……it’s unusual for Sylvio-niisan to enter my room silently. Just like Eleonora-neesan」
「No, Al. This is the hallway right?」
When I look around after hearing Sylvio-niisan saying that to , we are indeed in the second floor’s hallway.
It appears that I unconsciously went out of my room to the wide hallway while studying about how to walk.
「I’m just checking about how to walk a bit」
「Is, is that so?」
Not good. Sylvio-niisan is looking at with eyes as if looking at a weirdo.
There will be a strange misunderstanding if I don’t properly explain what I did here.
「That’s right. Sylvio-niisan, help a little!」
「Help?」
Ignoring Sylvio-niisan who looks puzzled, I return to my room to bring back knight.
「I’m trying to make this doll walk now. But it’s hard to make it walk, so in order to grasp the image of walking, I need Sylvio-niisan’s help!」
I explain how I was doing sothing noble to Sylvio-niisan to make him help .
Then, for the purpose of showing him the result of my effort in front of him, I make the doll walk using Psychic *tokotoko*.
「Hmーm, as expected it’s still awkward」
「……does Al want to be a magician or sothing?」
「Eh? It’s not like I want to be one though?」
Just moving a doll like this……no, depending on the way one do things, it would look like a puppet show and it will turn into a show.
It would turn out to be comical movents that can only be done by a doll and using magic. And you insert a gimmick in there, using Wind magic to carry your voice to the doll like the royal capital’s play, then if you breathe life into the doll……it might surprisingly be possible to do so.
Furthermore, I can also use other magic like Space magic to have a make things for disappearing magic, and there is also escaping magic.
Appearing in unexpected places at unexpected tis in every country like a phantom to perform magic and earn money daily.
「I don’t want to be one but, the life of a magician is not bad……」
「Is, is that so? But, if it’s Al, then you can use the magic you’re so good at to go to the magic school, aiming to be a royal court mage――」
「Definititely not」
「……such a firm refusal」
I want to live a slowlife in the countryside, but you want to send to school and then work in the city.
What kind of hell are you sending to?
「I’m still seven years old, it’s a little early to think about the future. Rather than that Sylvio-niisan, can you please try walking in front?」
「Eh? Un, that’s fine」
For now, I can delay it by asserting that I’m still a kid. If I say it like this, then Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan will withdraw so I think it’s a convenient phrase.
Accepting my request, Sylvio-niisan walks down the hallway.
「……how is it?」
After steadily walking for around ten ters, Sylvio-niisan turns around.
It’s fast. People are moving quite fast with their limbs, huh. It was his normal speed but, I wasn’t sure about it.
「Sylvio-niisan, can you walk slower? Until I say it’s fine」
「U, un. Okay」
If you request him sincerely, Sylvio-niisan will accept it, I really like Sylvio-niisan.
If it were Eleonora-neesan, she will say 「Why do I have to keep on walking!」 or such and will get angry.
I observe Sylvio-niisan as he walks slowly for so ti.
While checking on the movent of the limbs, the overall balance, and the head position. And sotis I also walk alongside him.
And then, I test it separately on knight while exchanging ideas with Sylvio-niisan.
Each ti, knight falls, but occasionally he can move forward.
And when I realize it, the blue sky has already dyed with a crimson color of sunset……
「Co! Knight!」
As I spread my arms while Sylvio-niisan is sitting on the ground watching , the manipulated knight trots.
Then, as it arrives in front of Sylvio-niisan, knight jumps in the end.
Knight settled into Sylvio-niisan’s chest snugly.
「You did it, Al! It’s a success this ti!」
「My knight walks, trots and then jumps……and what’s more, it doesn’t fall even once……!」
We were so moved that we were almost crying as we watched knight’s developnt.
It was an emotional mont just like when my own child walk for the first ti.
「There is so hardness in so places when I try to hug it」
「……that’s because I put so iron plate in order for it to be easier to balance itself」
Since it’s pursuing ease of movent the level of comfort when you hug it will drop as a result, it’s sothing unavoidable. It’s fine since sothing like hugging comfort is the responsibility of a sli cushion.
Sylvio-niisan placed knight on the floor, so I make knight walk using Psychic.
As if to share our happiness, knight made comical movents, jumped, and ran around us. It’s really cute to watch.
「Ahaha, it’s happy」
「When you move doll like this, it’s like the doll is alive isn’t it」
When we were watching knight moving around cutely like that, I can hear Sara climbing up the stairs as she called out to .
「Alfried-sama, it’s ti for dinnerー」
Uh-oh, it’s already dinner ti without us noticing the ti.
I feel like I’ve been so absorbed in moving knight for quite so ti.
Perhaps Sylvio-niisan also got absorbed in it that he didn’t realize the ti as he smiled when he look at the crimson sky from the window.
「Well then, let’s go and eat」
「Un」
I put knight in my room and head to the dining room on the first floor.
And while I was going down the stairs with Sylvio-niisan, I tell him,
「Ah, Sylvio-niisan. Keep the fact that I can move knight a secret from everyone, okay. I want to surprise them next ti after considering the timing」
「Okay」
When I tell him that while pretending to be innocent, Sylvio-niisan - who believe what I said - nodded with a giggle.
Well, I actually want to surprise Mina who is patrolling tonight. I’m looking forward to the dark night.
