Chapter 130

CHAPTER 130: GATHERING PLACE OF POWERFUL MAGIC

After we finished eating lunch and arranging the trees in my garden…a boar came attacking from the forest .
It was business as usual as the golems drove it away without panic or fanfare… .

…… . I wonder what I should do now…

Maybe I should enter the onsen since I haven’t been in it in a while, I thought when…

「As I thought this is where Daichi is!」

and Karen dashed over from the forest .
She dashed over with excitement in her eyes .

「Karen huh? I haven’t seen you since the festival . 」
「Yes, it’s been a while . 」

But, as we were talking another boar came charging towards Karen .
However, she held out her hand and stopped its charge .

「——mm, are these Fafnir being kept by you?」


「No, they’re wild boars . They often come trying to invade . 」
「Is that so? ……Daichi…would you mind if I look into your eyes a bit?」
「Huh?」

I said as she met my gaze and the atmosphere around us started shaking . Furthermore,

「——!?」

The boars’ eyes filled with fear and they ran for their lives .
I wonder why? Maybe it was due to the Dragon King’s pressure I thought when,

「Fu, fufufufufu… . . 」

Karen hugged herself as she started shivering .
PICTURE

「J-just with this casual greeting, gaze, and magical surge………just from that you can make high level monsters run for their lives . Ahh you’re really amazing Daichi……!」

She said as she looked at me passionately .
I feel like she’s saying some things that I don’t get… . .

「Ummm, I guess I should thank you for driving them away?」


「Ahh, no, it was mostly Daichi’s magic pressure that caused them to run . All I did was clash our magic power together to get the pump primed…please don’t mind it . 」

Karen said as she suppressed her excitement and put on a calm face .
However, there was still a little something I didn’t get .

「What do you mean by clashing magic power?」
「Eh…… . . ? Well, didn’t you realize that I put some magic power into my gaze and you reflected it?」
「No, I didn’t realize . I thought we were just looking into each other’s eyes normally . 」
「I see… I see…so that was a reflexive reaction… . fufu, really, you are more than I imagined…」

Karen’s mouth began to curve disturbing her prim look .
She seemed happy .
Well anyways, the boars were driven away so let’s get back to what we were talking about .

…… . after the incident with Anne and the talk we had, I predicted that she’d be coming along eventually .

I’ll just ask .

「Why have you come here?」
「Well, I came here coincidentally…I have business in the Dragon Valley near here…」


「As I thought, the Dragon King Council is the cause……」

Since I was between the valley and the town, it wasn’t unusual to see a little traffic… .
…but today I’ve had a lot of personal guests, I thought and looked at Karen .

「By the way, sorry to interrupt but this is Daichi’s principal residence am I correct?」

Karen said, eyes sparkling .

「Well, yeah . 」

It was the truth so I nodded as her eyes began to sparkle even brighter .

「For there to be such a magic spot… . to see it like this… . it’s so moving! I’d taken a map and left town for the forest, when I felt an incredibly huge magic power, I had thought that maybe… . but I never dreamed that it’d be like this!」

Karen said as she looked around restlessly .

「This is beyond anything I’d expected . This land’s magic, your home’s power, and Daichi’s power all combine together to produce something incredible . I’ve never seen anything like this… . . if there wasn’t the council, then I would’ve liked to stay here and talk……」

She said and finally looked back at me .
She had been so excited this entire time, but now she had put on a calm and collected face .

「Eh, ehem…Daichi…after the council is over, could I come back to talk again? I haven’t truly thanked you yet so I would like to pay another visit…」

Her entire speech pattern had changed to being very calm and smooth . Honestly when she was in this mode she was easier to talk to, I thought and answered .
After all, Anne would be coming back anyways so I didn’t really mind…

「If you come back too late, I’ll be asleep OK?」
「Ah, that’s fine . The council should finish up quickly . 」

The council should be something fairly important so I wonder if it’s OK for her to be so flippant about it .
Well, it’s their business not mine…so I don’t have any right to comment .

「I got it . Then come say hi before I go to sleep . 」
「OK! Thank you very much! …… . . then I’ll go finish the meeting at top speed!」

Karen said and ran off towards the valley .

… . . seems like I’ll be getting more visits before the day is done .

Moreover, it seems that the council will be very lively .
I thought as I headed towards my onsen .

I’d been sweating while doing my gardening, so a bath should feel great .
