Chapter 104: Pretend it Didn’t Happen
“I had them prepare a family room in the inn,” Otou-sama boasted when we got into the room .
“Even so, it’s small . Well, inns are the same everywhere,” he said and nodded in satisfaction . The room had two double beds, one sofa that could probably become a bed, and a small table and chair in front of the sofa .
“Then, Lei and I will sleep on this bed . ”
“What are you saying? Lei will sleep with me . ”
“Otou-sama, you’ve never slept with Lei before, have you? I’ve already slept with Lei for two nights, so I’m used to it . ”
“You should let her sleep with me since you’ve slept with her for two nights . ”
They had a fruitless argument, as always . It might be small, but we can, “Everyone shweep thogethher . ”
“Well, that’s fine . ”
“Are you sure, Otou-sama?”
Nii-sama was amazed .
“What? People do sleep on the ground, don’t they?”
“That’s right . ”
Hannah was still here at that time, and so was Sebas . No one said anything, but all three of us thought this .
We got ready for bed and rolled into bed . Sleeping next to each other like this was natural, and there was nothing to talk about .
“Come to think of it, I want to talk about this first . ”
“What is it, Luke?”
Nii-sama and Otou-sama were talking with me in between them . Sleepy .
“Lei can make a barrier . ”
“Barrier,” Otou-sama repeated as he looked at the ceiling .

“You mean like the barrier box?”
“Yes . ”
“Without magic stones?”
“Yes . ”
“Hmm . ”
Otou-sama turned over to face me in the middle .
“Lei, I want to see it . ”
“Eh…”
It’s late at night . Annoying . Even if you look at me with those sparkling eyes…
“Niini can do . Niini do . ”
Nii-sama can do it, can’t he?
“What? Luke, you can do it too?”
“Yes, I can do it after Lei showed me how . ”
“Then…” Otou-sama got up vigorously .
“I should be able to do it . ”
I thought it would turn out like this .
“Lei, I’m not sure since I’ve only done it once . ”
“Eh…”
It can’t be helped if Nii-sama says that . I had no choice but to get up even though I was half-asleep . I rubbed my eyes .

“Then, I’ll hold Lei . ”
“She can’t make a barrier if you hold her . ”
“Really? Fine . ”
I can still make a barrier even if I’m held, you know?
“Mawe shmaww barrier,” I declared and slowly altered my magic so Otou-sama could understand . I made a small barrier that could fit three people .
“I see . This is the same as the barrier produced by barrier boxes . ”
Otou-sama raised the edge of his mouth slightly and began manipulating his magic . Nii-sama was able to make the barrier quickly, but Otou-sama tilted his head when he was nearly there .
“Niini made ith shthraighth away,” I reflected on what I had blurted out .
“Then, Luke . Show me,” Otou-sama said with his eyes narrowed . He looks a little cute .
“Then, Lei will you cancel your barrier?”
“Ai . ”
I cancelled my barrier . Because it seemed like there would be a big fuss like two days ago . Now that I think about it, I feel like it wouldn’t vibrate much even if I make a barrier in Kingdom .
“Then, here I go . ”
Nii-sama quickly made a barrier . A genius?
“I see . Luke’s barrier looks more familiar . Is it because you referenced the latest barrier box? I see I’ve learnt it . ”
I was offended . Alistair’s barrier box is certainly old . When I looked at Nii-sama’s barrier like this, I can tell that the magic quality is refined, even if I try to imitate it . I reached out and put my hand out of the barrier . It’s just a little different . Just like how some teas were bitter and some weren’t .
“Then, magic wiwe thhish . ”
When you take away the bitterness, it’s refreshing .
“Like this?”

“Thhish . ”
Our voices overlapped, “““Aah . ”””
*KEE* The barrier, with a high vibration, instantly spread wider . We carelessly overlapped our barriers . However, unlike the barrier in Wester, it was faint like water pouring over water and swaying on the surface .
“Pull your magic back!”
“Yes . ”
“Ai . ”
Otou-sama and I, who were surprised by Nii-sama’s voice, deactivated the barriers at once .
“Lei, do you know how far the barrier will go?”
“Yesh . ”
I feel like a thin barrier will probably reach Sebel .
“Barriers made by humans also resonate?”
Otou-sama was the most shocked . It’s no wonder . We’re used to it because this was the second time .
“At least, if it happened twice, then they won’t doubt us anymore because we’re not there . ”
“Nii-syama, shmarth”
I clapped my hands, and Nii-sama smiled as if he was shy .
“Luke and Lei, the second time means that you’ve done this once before?
Dammit . Otou-sama found out . We looked away a little .
“Tell me that beforehand . Jeez . ”
Otou-sama lifted me up and put me on his lap .
“Sowwy . ”
“Sorry . ”
We apologised . Otou-sama sighed loudly .
“Well, whatever . We’ll pretend it didn’t happen . ”
“Yup . ”
“Ai . ”
We put it out of our minds and laid down on the bed again .
“Well, I can’t say it’s strange,” Otou-sama said something difficult to understand .
“What do you mean?”
Nii-sama, that’s a good question .
“A magic artisan’s job is to alter the stone slates . Few artisans can make barrier boxes, and they have magic to make barriers . But still…”
Otou-sama turned towards us .
“They wouldn’t think of activating a barrier within Kingdom’s barrier . It hadn’t happened until Lei ended up in Wester and was forced to make one . ”
I only made it because it was interesting, but I couldn’t tell them that I wasn’t forced to make one . Well, there would be trouble if I have to activate a barrier from now on .
“Let’s quickly head back to the mansion in the royal capital . ”
“Ai . ”
I’ll enjoy a slow baby life this time in the mansion at the royal capital . The next day, however, Gill and Jude seemed to have guessed what we were up to and were very angry .
