Chapter 97: Something to Amplify

I was full of energy the morning after I met Nii-sama .

“We’re spending time with family this evening,” even if I was told this, an infant can’t speak fluently . Nii-sama sat next to me on the sofa, smiled when our eyes met, placed me on his lap, and told me about what had happened when I wasn’t in the royal capital . We went to bed early, talked a little and fell asleep before we knew it . When we came to, it was morning .

When I woke up, I saw a blonde head that was different from my own next to me . Alistair gets up before me, and Nii-sama sleeps in a separate room at the mansion, so it felt like it has been a long time since I’ve seen someone sleep .

His bright violet eyes were hidden under his eyelids, and Nii-sama, who is usually reliable, looked young and appropriate for his age . He was only 11, but he came to Frontier to pick me up . Troublesome things happened, but he always worried about me, who was living happily .

I gently brushed away the hair on Nii-sama’s forehead with my small hands . I must have woken him up because his eyes twitched and he silently opened his eyes . He looked at me, gently grasped my hands, pressed them against his forehead and closed his eyes again .

“Niini, gowd mornwing . ”

“Good morning, Lei . What a wonderful morning it is to wake up by Lei’s hand . ” I’m a little embarrassed when you say such a thing . I smiled, Nii-sama smiled, and we woke up to a warm morning .

“Oh yeah, I couldn’t ask you yesterday, but can you make barriers now, Lei?” Nii-sama went back to looking serious and asked seriously, so I answered honestly, “Ai . ”

“After you were gone, I researched as much as I could on magic and barriers, but there’s nothing on anyone making their own barriers . ”

“Reawwy?”

I’ve never heard about it before either, but I’m an infant, so there’s a lot of things I haven’t heard .

“If you’re fine with it, could you make a barrier here?”

“Ai . Oway . ”

I haven’t used it for a while, but I have been training my magic so it should be okay . Both Nii-sama and I were misbehaving, but we sat face to face on the bed in our pyjamas .

“Mawe shmaww barrier . ” (Make small barrier) I declared to Nii-sama and changed my magic . I put up a barrier that covered Nii-sama and I .

“Oh,” he raised a small voice, reached out for the barrier and tried to put his hand out of it . A barrier that isn’t that big doesn’t take much power to maintain . Nii-sama observed the barrier, and I observed him . Time passed .

To be honest, even Alistair can’t make a barrier yet . I think it’s because he can’t see magic like I can . I can’t see the barrier with my own eyes, but apparently, I can feel magic strongly, so I can understand how barriers are developed and how magic needs to be altered .

And, I could tell that Nii-sama could perceive the barrier as I watched him confirm the barrier with sparkling eyes like a child .  

“You altered your magic, didn’t you Lei? I wonder if Nii-sama can do it too . ”

Ah, just now . Nii-sama talked to me like how he did when we’d first met . Since when did he start speaking politely to everyone? He spoke like that to Otou-sama from the start . But was it after I was kidnapped? I feel like he does this normally .

“Keep pushhing magic outh . ”

“I can do it, Lei . I went to Farland and trained . ”

“Farwand . ”

“Yes . I also attacked Hollows and was told that I would be an excellent Hunter . ”

Nii-sama seems to think of Alistair as a rival . In that case, I feel a little relieved .

“Awishthair can’th mawe barriersh . ” (Alistair can’t make barriers)

“Really? Then, Lei, can you keep it up a little longer?”

“Ai . ”

After laughing happily, Nii-sama reached for the barrier with his eyes half closed .

“Let magic out . Alter the magic according to Lei’s barrier . Remember the barrier box . How does the magic in the magic stones change? Bend the magic quality . Get close to Lei,” he muttered as he altered the magic power within him . Even though it took me weeks to do this . Nii-sama’s magic gradually changed to match the barrier’s .  

And his magic became the same as my barrier’s as if something had clicked together .

“I did it! Eh?” Nii-sama raised his voice in joy . He had certainly put up a barrier . However…

“Whath?”

 His barrier resonated with mine and exploded .

“Niini, sthop . ”

“Lei, I know! You too!”

“Ai!”

We looked at each other in surprise, talked and stopped our barriers . What? What was that just now?

“Lei, do you know how big the barrier is?”

“Yesh . ”

“I also… roughly”

“Ai . ”

Let’s be honest . It may cover the whole of Sebel . And perhaps because of the state of emergency, Nii-sama went back to speaking politely .

“This is bad . Someone with strong magic powers might have noticed that the barrier inflated . ”

“Deceive . ”

Nii-sama looked shocked at my words .

“Did you only learn strange words at Frontier?”

“Nope . ”

“Jeez . But, yes . There’s no other way . ”

Nii-sama shrugged as if he’d given up on something .

“Alright, let’s deceive them . ”

“Ai . ”

“So…”

“Ai?”

He rolled and crawled under the blankets .  

“Pretend to sleep . Pretend to sleep . Let’s pretend we stayed up late and we’re still sleeping . ”

“Lei two . ”

I slipped under the blankets, and we whispered to each other while giggling until there was a knock on the door .

Because if we hadn’t done so, then both Nii-sama and I probably wouldn’t be able to stop trembling . Nii-sama seemed to have noticed it straight away, but I didn’t know that the number of magic stones increased as the range of the barrier box increases . However, this was a good trade off since two magic stones didn’t mean the range doubled, but instead,  it amplified the range by many times .  

And we unintentionally proved that it was the same with barriers made directly by people .

“Let’s pretend that we know nothing until we get back to Kingdom . ”

“Ai . ”

That’s how it was .  

“We really are Otou-sama’s children, after all . ”

“No doubth . ”

“Yes . Let’s be stubborn . ”

“Ai . ”

It’s okay, Otou-sama . I’ll deceive them and properly come home .
