When we enter the living room, Sierra and Father were having a meal. They had a surprised expression when they turned their eyes onto me.
“Gerald, are you feeling better now?”
“Yeah, I feel great”
I nodded to Father words as I sat on my chair.
As soon as I sat down, Mother brought in hot soup and bread for me. Just the smell of it multiplied my appetite by ten folds.
Well, it’s only natural, seeing I have not eaten anything for three days now.
Both of my hands naturally stretched out towards the dish. I ate the bread like a caveman while every so often, gulping down the slightly sweet corn soup.
“Geho, goho” ⌈1⌋
“Ahh, mou, eat slowly Gerald-chan, it won’t disappear you don’t have to rush”
“Ugh, s-sorry”
Struggling to swallow the food, Mother used a handkerchief and help wiped my mouth.
…… Even though I know that I’m childish, I still tried to act like a grown-up. Possibly because they think that my action of overdoing myself was amusing, Father and Mother ended up chuckling.
“By the way, Otou-san, Okaa-san”
While slowly finishing the rest of the food, I told Father and Mother.
“I am able to perceive æther now”
After saying that, Father’s expression changed from surprise to joy.
“Gerald…… You” ⌈2⌋
Father looked at me with an expression as if he was about to cry and then he proceeded to wipe his eyes (though there were no tears flowing).
“I see, you are becoming a man too……”
He muttered to himself.
But I understood Father’s feelings. To be more precise, I am starting to understand his feelings.
Now, I am able to perceive æther, something which I could not have done before.
At least, I am『Like a Magician』. There is no doubt that becoming a magician means I am growing up.
“Otou-san, will I become a good man?”
“Ahh, to grow, to grow into such a splendid young man…… as expected of my son”
“Otou-san……”
“Gerald……”
Hishi! ⌈3⌋ While seeing two men embracing each other, Mother muttered to herself while having an amazed face.
“Mmm, man sure are blockheads……”
You would think that he is getting excited at such a trivial thing. But this is an important matter between Father and me.
Be that as it may, I decided to not give Mother any more chance of making fun of me, I untied my arms from Father’s back and returned them back to my side.
Then, Father, with all his might, suddenly pulled himself back to me.
“F-Father!?”
“Gerald, I…… I used to wish to become a magician back in my glory days a long time ago”
I see. After I looked at him, I understood.
Ever since I started using magic, the tension started to rise. But having been told by your son that he is also able to perceive aether now, it was enough to make you cry.
I love and respect the place where the heart of a boy is kept in Father like that. I really want to become an adult who does not forget purity, like my father.
“But I lacked the talent…… to understand the magic language. But surprisingly, my son has been granted the dream I always yearned for. For parents, there is no greater joy than this. Thank you very much!”
My face became red after hearing Father’s thankful words. I wonder why such straightforward and to the point words of gratitude could be this embarrassing.
Aware of my own embarrassed expression, Mother displayed a smile over on the other side of the table while giggling.
“Oh? Nii-tan and Rachel getting along? Sierra too!”
Sierra clung onto my back and squeezed tightly. What a cute little creature, I feel happy just being close to her.
“Nii-tan, Nii~tan”
Sierra rubs her cheeks on my back. Even if the action is not visible, I could imagine. Her actions seem to make my chest warm and relaxed. Sierra is clad in a soothing aura. I see, I can perceive æther regardless of senses.
If such a thing is considered.
“…… Nii-tan, smewwy”
“What!?”
“Well, it can’t be helped since you have not washed your body in three days”
“Sierra~”
Sierra moved away from my back. Mother’s strangely calm comment seemed to be the finishing blow to me.
However, Sierra getting away from my back somehow managed to help me regain my composure. While sitting on the chair and extending the spoon for the soup again, I decided to『look』at everyone.
And then I saw it, three people covered in æther.
Father is……Unfortunately, his æther is considerably low. The faint light he emitted was coloured dark grey. However somewhere deep down, despite him being a romanticist, he gives off a feeling of being a serious father.
He said he didn’t have the talent for it, but even if he knew the language of magic, but with the size of this æther, he won’t be able to use very strong magic techniques.
I saw it when Mother entered the room, but the æther given off was in a warm orange colour.
Still, the feeling I get from Mother’s æther is so gentle that it feels like it envelopes you to the brim with magnanimity. Warm, gentle……I like colours of that feeling.
With that Sierra’s eyes moved――this is incredible.
Unlike from my bright silver light, that’s so strong to the point you’d be hard pressed to question it whether it was a halo or not. Even though I can’t use magic, but it’s still so dazzling.
According to the grimoire, anyone during infancy has a talent for magic. From there as you slowly grow older, both your talent and æther light gradually grow smaller, until it nothing is left.
In that sense, Sierra who’s still two years old has such a strong æther light.
However, By continuously looking at other people’s æther like this, I somehow managed to sense my own æther.
