Even though it is a good practice to shut myself in the room and pour aether into the spell, there’s a special feeling when perceiving other people’s magical aura. I notice there are differences on individual magical aura in color and light. Moreover, this magical light can show us the innerself of the person, it’s pretty interesting.

Even so, why could I suddenly perceive magical aura…?

That’s remind me, I think I have an idea about it.

The sign that I felt before the big wild boar appears. And also, there was some indigo color-like thing which wrapped the body of that low-tier monster.
Don’t tell me, at that time I already….

[… Nee, Father. I want to ask something]

[Nn? What is it Gerald?]

[There was something shiny in the body of the giant wild boar, do you know about it?]

[Light, eh?… No, I don’t remember there is something like that…]

Fumu.

[『Protect him with the Divine Protection』]

[O,oh!? Gerald, what magic did you use on me this time?]

When I cast the incantation, golden light wraps around my father’s body.

Disregard my surprised… No, my excited father, I turned around to mother and Sierra.

[Hey, do you see golden light that wraps around father’s body?]

[Eh, I don’t understand]

[Light? Sierra dunno]

[Un. I see. Thank you both of you. I think I understand for the time being]

[What do you understand?]

Toward me who understood something, my mother just inclined her neck in curiousity, I think I understood it to some extent.

When I was attacked by the Giant Wild Boar, most likely I could already sense the magical aura so I was able to do it. For example, the moment where I cast strengthening magic on my father’s body.

And then, if I encounter another Giant Wild Boar, I think I might be able to recognize the magic that giant wild boar possessed. Perhaps, the reason I could perceive magical aura was because the magic sensory organ developed rapidly.

However, as the result, my body can’t endure the rapid change, thus I have fallen asleep for the three days due to that.

When I told my conjecture to my father and mother, they both consent with [I see] together.

[More importantly, Gerald is really smart to be able to understand that kind of magic. Moreover, possessing the understanding to predict about anything at this age. Oh dear, you will grow into someone amazing in the future]

[Well yeah… I wonder where did we make mistake in raising you?]

Oi, what do you mean by that, mom.

[This kind of smart Gerald, mom don’t want it… Mom prefer the cute and foolish Gerald]

[What about Sierra? Is Sierra cute?]

[Yeah, of course! Sierra is the cutest in the world!]

[Ehehe, Onii-tan, thank you]

Sierra’s smiling face at that time was really dangerous.
Mou, really, even though it’s bad manner during eating, I want to embrace her, rub my face on her, and pat her adorable head.

[Saa, Sierra, come!]

Therefore, I straightened my body stance and open both of my arms on Sierra.
But, my expectation has been betrayed.

[Yada]

Pui.

[Eh, Sierra. Come here, Oniichan will hug you~ I’ll hold you up tightly, you know?]

[Yaada]

Pui.

[W, why… Why, Sierra….Do you hate, Oniichan?]

[Mmm, but I like you Onitan?]

[Then, why…]

[Smelly]

[Haha. You’ve been rejected, Gerald]

My father’s hand slapped my back when I was depressed due to her words.

…. Moreover, to slap my back while being on strengthened body, it’s more painful than usual.
The effect of magic, I experienced it for the first time.

After the Princess of our home said [Smelly] to me, I went outside with full stomach.

I wanted to try various magics which I was able to perceive at once, but for the time being let’s wash my body first.

Anyway, it’s natural to think that Sierra is my most precious girl. That kind of Sierra said such things, there is no way that I am alright with it.
… Well, when I said something like that, my father responded [I won’t give my daughter to you! I will never hands her to a man like you!], it somewhat made me speechless.

Anyway, I draw water to the tub from the well in the garden, I put the dry medical herbs inside. I carried the tub to the sink place, and began to wipe my body with a wet cloth.

What is a sink place? To put it simply, it’s a place like bathroom without bathtub. The surface of the floor was made by smooth stones, and there was cloth covering the surrounding to prevent being seen from outside.

The people in this village usually brought their hot water or cold water to this sink place and wash their body. Even though there is no custom to use bathtub, there’s no feeling of lingering dirt after cleaning up, thanks to the medical herbs which serve as the soap.

… Well, the moment I can use magic to make my body clean, there will be no need to use the sink place again.

[What a nice weather…]

Although it’s quite hot.

It feels very cool and pleasant when I wipe the skin with water the moment it starts to burn slightly. This somehow feels like I am really living.

When I am still washing my body and cooling myself, I feel a sign of magic from someone approaching me.

[O, Gerald! You, you did something bad, didn’t you?]

When I heard the voice, a familiar face looks into me between the clothes which surrounded the sink place.

[Na, nu, nwaaaa!?]

[Uo, why so sudden Gerald!? Why in the face!]

I was surprised so I instinctively threw the water in the tub toward the face. The face that thrust out between the clothes was pushed back by great power.

…More like, that kind of saying is triggering some lewd/guilty thinking. for now I think it’ll be better to stop?

[M,m,m,miru!? What are you doing while I am still washing my naked body…]

I was surprised, and kept talking like a machinegun. Naturally, I was hiding the crotches with both of my hands.

[Don’t be such a letdown, we’re already this close. right?]

[Nuwaa!? Again!?]

Miru shows her face again from between the clothes. She also raised a miserable scream a moment ago.
The eyes that she shows on me, it’s unsuitable for the sunny weather like now.

[… Such a pathetic voice for a man]

[It’s because I am a man so I don’t want to be seen by you!]

[? What do you mean?]

[… It’s alright if you don’t know it]

Miruriru— a.k.a Miru, five years old. She is a girl.
She has a pair of confident eyes and red hair, an active-type… and is a girl who is same age as me.

It’s natural for this village to have other childrens, my five-years old self included.
Among them, since we’re on same age, I often play together with Miru.

[Nn? What is with it’s alright if I don’t know? Oh well, let’s go play outside. You don’t need to wash your body now]

[… It’s perhaps not important, but I want to ask something. Why do you suddenly barge-in here without permission?]

[I asked Cecil]

[So suspicious…]

To call by name instead of [Your mother], as expected from Miru, she don’t have any timidness.

Although I was amazed, I received my change of clothes from Miru and said [I will change clothes for the time being], and I went back to the sink place.

When I got out, there is a ball being held by Miru, there is a fresh smile on her tanned face.

[… It’s so hot outside, are you not bothered by it?]

[That’s why it’s a fine weather!]

[In addition, you’re always full of unreasonableness]

[It’s because this is such a fine weather! Then, what about you Gerald? Why are you suddenly washing your body right now?]

Usually, people wash their body in the morning or the evening. There are not many people in the village washing their body during daytime.

[A… It’s because today has fine weather I guess]

It’s a hot day.

[You got it! During good weather like this, I’ll go crazy if I don’t play outside]

[Who is it. The one who always ignore people when they are talking]

[A man won’t mention trivial detail like that]

That kind of word, it’ll be treated as sexual harassment in my previous life.

Well, I don’t have any objection to play with Miru. I have slept for three days so I want to move my body for a little.

Therefore, I don’t have any reason to decline her invitation either.

— Though, suddenly I’m thinking something.

When I put power in my eyes to see Miru… From her, I see red light shining.

As I thought? Apparently, there is individual variation on the color of magical aura. I don’t know yet if it’s related with their character or personality. Or that they’re dependant on their strength.

But still, red hair and red light magical aura, it matches Miru well. It’s because her red magical aura is brilliant and beautiful, I was unintentionally fascinated by it.

[Ah? Oi, Gerald. Why are you looking at me like that?]

[Etto, sorry]

[? What do you mean? Moreover, your face is red? Is the heat getting to you?]

[Uh! It’s a fine weather after all!]

It’s really hot, you know. Though I don’t want to say it.

[More importantly, let’s so play now! Hurry-up!]

[Yeah, oi, wait for me~ Don’t leave me, stupid!]

I heard her voice when I begin to walk quickly. But, instead of reducing my speed, I increase my pace further and keep walking.

It’s because, well. If she were to catch up… ah, such a fine weather, it’s so hot.

I don’t plan to say it.
