Chapter 119
Chapter 119: Front, Bam
By the time I woke up from my nap, Otou-sama had come to pick us up, and it was time to go home .
“I onwy goth tho pway a withthwe bith!” (I only got to play a little bit!) I got angry, and Nico looked at me pitifully .
“Lei, quickly grow up . We could have played if you didn’t nap . Climbing trees is fun . ”
What?! I looked at Nico, Nii-sama and Gill as if I couldn’t believe them . Nii-sama and Gill averted their eyes awkwardly .
“Cwimbing threesh! Onwy Nico!”
“You can’t climb trees anyways . ”
“I can! I can!”
Hasn’t it been decided that I can climb? I can climb on the heads of Rug Dragons .
“Argh, I’m going home!”
Starting tomorrow is the weekend, so I’ll climb trees with Nii-sama at home . Nico spoke to me while I was still angry, “Lei . ”
Argh . Don’t call me such a lonely voice .
“See you thomorrow, I mean, nexth weew . ”
“Yeah! See you next week . ”
I found myself in Otou-sama’s arms and waved at the smiling Nico . We can’t end the day with a quarrel . Isn’t it sad to recall an angry or sad face after separating?
“Tree cwimbing . Tree cwimbing,” I sang, and Otou-sama, Nii-sama and Natalie watched me in amusement . Gill went home in his own carriage, and he looked bored .
“Gill and I won’t come for a week even if you’re looking forward to it . ”
“Nii-syama, thomorrow!”
I never thought about climbing trees until now, and I didn’t see any trees with branches at home, but it’s vast, so there should be a tree I could climb .

“But, isn’t that dangerous for you, Lei?”
“Luke . ”
Otou-sama shook his head at Nii-sama .
“It’s better that she climbs trees where we can see her instead of climbing on the heads of the Rug Dragons when we’re not looking . ”
“Huh? Did Lei do that?”
“Uh- . ”
I looked out the carriage . Nii-sama sighed in amazement and warned me, “Make sure someone can see you when you practice climbing trees . ” This means okay .
“Ai!”
That’s a good answer for me . But, it’s a secret that Hans couldn’t prevent me from climbing the Rug Dragons even when he was watching me .
Then, we happily went home, had a fun dinner, and later gathered in Otou-sama’s room .
“We managed to suppress His Highness’s recklessness . ”
“Yes . I carelessly said that I could do it . ”
Otou-sama and Nii-sama reflected .
“But, I was shocked when he asked why the Hollows resonated with us . ”
“Did he say something like that?”
Otou-sama, you’re mentioning him in a disrespectful way .
“I think it’s good that we can connect the resonation of Hollows with projecting our magic out of our bodies . It’s not just us, the hunters in Frontier also understand this with their bodies, and Lei learnt it when she was in Frontier . ”
“But, they didn’t think their magic would resonate with other people . Why would they need to do something like that in the first place?”
“You’re right . But, Otou-sama…”

“What?”
Nii-sama stared at Otou-sama .
“Lei and I noticed it straight away . Our magic has resonated with each other’s before, hasn’t it?”
“… At the barrier?”
“Yes . ”
I also nodded .
“Then, does this mean that Hollows are expanding barriers out of their bodies?”
“But then, why would they need to?”
“Hmm . ”
It’s a difficult question .
“Howwowsh become magic shthonesh . ”
“That’s right . ”
“We become magic shthonesh?”
“We won’t . That’s impossible . ”
Nii-sama answered my question, then muttered, “People with magic don’t change into magic stones, but Hollows change into magic stones no matter how weak the person they absorb is . Why is that?”
“They don’t have a body, but perhaps their magic is incredible . ”
“That’s why they naturally dispel that magic out of their bodies, and it resonates with our bodies…”
“Then why don’th you thry expewwing a woth of magic?” (Then why don’t you try expelling a lot of magic?)

Otou-sama and Nii-sama looked at me .
“Magic thhath ishn’th changed intho a barrier . ”
“Are you saying we should try expelling pure magic out of our bodies?”
“Ai . ”
If you do that, then you may be able to interfere with other people’s magic a little .
We fell silent . We were each thinking about different things . But, when we looked at each other again, the words that came out of Otou-sama’s mouth were, “Shall we try it?” If Linus were here, he might have stopped us by saying, “That’s why the Albans are…” But, each of us was an Albans .
“We won’t know until we try it . ”
“Ai .
It was decided that we would try .
“Lei can mawe a barrier . Lei wiww thry . ”
“Hmm . I thought you or Luke would be the one who projects your magic out . Then, Otou-sama will receive the magic . ”
“Otou-sama…”
“The receiver is probably the one in the most danger . Adults should do it . ”
Nii-sama looked like he wanted to do it, but Otou-sama stopped him .
I faced Otou-sama on the bed, and sat as close to him as I could .
“No change intho barrier . Tawe outh jushth ash ith ish . ”
Instead of expanding it into a circle around me, I sent it straight at Otou-sama .
“Here goesh . ”
“Hmm . ”
Magic formed in front of me, then bam .
“Gah, bah . ”
Otou-sama slowly fell back .
“Otou-sama!”
“Otou-syama!”
We clung to Otou-sama .
“I, I’m fine,” Otou-sama managed to reply weakly, then gently hugged the two of us .
“Otou-syama… Sowwy…”
I’m glad . I’m really glad . I was on the verge of tears .
“Lei and Luke, this is bad . We’ve realised something unthinkable . ”
“What the hell happened?! I could see the magic, but what happened!? Why did you fall all of a sudden?!”
Nii-sama yelled at Otou-sama .
“Wait a minute . Calm down a bit, oh, don’t cry you two . Otou-sama’s fine . ”
I ended up crying because Nii-sama was yelling, and Nii-sama also ended up crying from shock . By the time we were tired from crying and quietened down, Otou-sama had managed to recover .
“Then, the conclusion is…” Otou-sama started talking after he sat back up . Nii-sama and I continued to cling to Otou-sama .
“Well, before that, I want to ask what happened to the magic from the outside . ”
“I saw it,” Nii-sama whispered . What did you see?
