Magi’s Grandson

Vol 2 Chapter 41

Preparing Oneself

I suffered an extreme blow because of Elizabeths misunderstanding.

Umm What led you to have that kind of misunderstanding?

Its neither here nor there. Whenever you open your mouth, its s.h.i.+n this, s.h.i.+n that, that guy s.h.i.+n, s.h.i.+n did this s.h.i.+n, s.h.i.+n, s.h.i.+n! Also, whenever you have the time, you would go to s.h.i.+n-sans house, so it cant be helped if I thought that way!

No! Its quite unreasonable, you know!?

I wonder if thats true?

Thats right!

Why do I have to be accused of having that kind of relations.h.i.+p with Gus? It feels creepy!

Haaa! Is it possible that her head has gone bad!?

Because its the first time for him to experience that kind of misunderstanding, Gus heaved a sigh.

Haaa Why is it with s.h.i.+n of all people Especially since there are also girls in the research society. Other than that, s.h.i.+n is definitely the first friend I made whom I can feel at ease with, so it is a fact that I have fun together with him.

Youve been having too much fun! Ever since you got acquainted with s.h.i.+n-san, you no longer spend time with me

Certainly, with a male friend, you can do anything without hesitation, so it feels comfortable.

Augusto-sama, do you no longer care about me?

That is Ugh gah!

No! Of course, thats not the case, Elly! Your heart and mind can feel at ease.

But

Certainly, the correspondence between man and woman is different. With a man, you can fool around as much as you want. Because this is my first time to experience it, I got carried away.

I-is that how it is

Gus kept talking while covering my mouth.

Hes desperate.

Gus could probably feel me grinning through his hand.

What are you laughing at?

He asked while he removed his hand thats blocking my mouth.

Nothing? I wasnt thinking that you look desperate or something like that?

Dammit! I didnt think there will come a day where s.h.i.+n would make fun of me!

He has an expression filled with extreme regret! Or so it seems. How impolite!

As I thought, its suspicious.

Thats why I said its not like that!

Thats right because s.h.i.+n already has a woman. He doesnt have time to spare for someone else.

Is that the truth?

Gus! What in the world are you saying!

s.h.i.+n, its about time you make it clear.

Although I was about to protest, the expression on Gus face unexpectedly looked earnest.

Make it clear, you say

I mean your att.i.tude. Even I understand that you guys have mutual feelings for each other. Nevertheless, you guys are always When I look at you guys, I get irritated.

Mutual feelings for each other Certainly, Sicily treats me kindly, but thats because Sicily has always been friendly

How are you so sure that Sicily and I have mutual feelings for each other?

Its exactly how it sounds, one can understand just by looking.

Did you actually hear her actually say those words?

I didnt hear it at all.

Then, how come you say it with such affirmation. If its such a misunderstanding, I wouldnt know how to converse with her in the future.

Then you, are you fine with just staying like that forever?

Th-that is

Its only natural for you not to know the feelings of the other person. Even though this fiancee of mine and I have been together since we were both young, we still had that kind of misunderstanding.

Thats true.

Wait a minute! Can you please not mention me in the conversation all of a sudden!?

Or do you intend to let the other person, the woman, say it? Because you yourself dont have the courage.

T-thats, its not like that at all!

Then hurry up and make it clear already. Isnt the other side always waiting for you?

In any case, youll be the one who will be deciding it, if possible, I want you to do it as soon as possible. If you dont

If I dont?

We will be misunderstood forever, you know?

Ill be troubled if that is so.

Thats why I said! Dont mention me in your conversation all of a sudden!!

Elly ane-sama, your expression looks discomposed.

Haa! I actually did something like that.

From what Gus had said, I realized that Ive been running away.

I was thinking what I would do if I was refused. What I would do if it was all a misunderstanding. Thats all Ive been thinking about.

Can I not really act unless I have completely understood my partners feelings?

I dont want to think about such shameful thoughts.

Although I do not know if Sicily and I can become a couple, all I know is that my feelings for her are overflowing that I have to immediately tell her how I feel.

Even though Ive been strongly criticized by Gus, he is, after all, a sempai with a fiancee.

Lets obediently accept his criticism.

By the way, isnt it about time we return to the other side? Also, we have to ask them to make two additional portions for dinner.

Ah, thats right.

Because two people have been added, we have to tell them ahead of time. I completely forgot about it.

Then, lets head back.

When I said that, I put the luggage of the two people inside Extra-dimensional Storage s.p.a.ce and opened up Gate.

Since Uncle Dis and the Soldiers guarding the place has seen it many times before they were unfazed, but when the two people saw it for the first time, they stared at it with blank surprise.

Then Uncle Dis, I will come again tomorrow, and I promise to take responsibility for May-chan.

Then Father, we will be returning to the training camp.

Yeah, make sure to be careful. Also, s.h.i.+n-kun.

What is it?

Make sure you act with prudence.

Father, Im sorry to say this but its too late for that.

As I thought. Even I thought I gave the warning a little too late.

T-then well be going now! You two, head inside the Gate!

Because the two people are still looking at the Gate with blank expressions, I urged them to enter.

The moment we entered Gate, we were already at the hot spring resort of Claude Town.

Although I could have opened the Gate inside the Claude mansion, but since they came to the hot springs after so much effort, I thought it would be better to open Gate closer to town.

It-it really led to Claude Town

How amazing! Although we were still inside the castle a little while ago, weve already arrived at Claude Town!

Elizabeth was still dumbfounded with Gate while May-chan was in high spirits.

I felt warm and fluffy since May-chan is pleased with my magic.

May, if you run around, it wont be my fault if you get separated.

Wha-wa! P-please, wait for me!

Gus walked ahead of everyone else, and May-chan immediately followed after him since it would be serious if she gets lost in an unfamiliar town.

May-chan.

What is it, s.h.i.+n onii-chan?

Since itll be bad if you get lost, here.

Eh? Okay!

When May-chan grasped the hand I held out to her, I once again felt warm and fluffy.

Since you can do such a thing so naturally, whats there for you to be afraid of

Oh my, Augusto-sama as well, you didnt readily make me your fiancee.

Argh! Dont talk about such things!

Gus and Elizabeth who were walking in front of us looking like they were having fun talking about something.

Although I wanted to listen to their conversation, I am currently holding May-chan who is looking really happy, so I guess Ill hold it in.

Ill make fun of him later.

s.h.i.+n Lets just pretend you didnt hear anything earlier.

Eh? What are you talking about?

Tch! Dont be too full of yourself

Those are some villainous lines.

s.h.i.+n onii-chan is amazing!

I started to feel embarra.s.sed when May-chan gave me a look of respect.

And so, I looked at Gus and Elizabeth, who seem like they were getting along well, walking ahead with their arms linked.

It seems like the misunderstanding from earlier has been solved thanks to the conversation with Gus.

Although its a good thing that the misunderstanding has been solved, but as we approach the Claude mansion where Sicily currently is, I started feeling nervous.

s.h.i.+n onii-chan, whats wrong?

Eh? Its nothing at all.

Because I became a little quiet, May-chan looked at me with worried eyes.

This wont do, this wont do. To actually worry such a small child. At the very least, I should act normally.

After I somehow calmed my heart down, we arrived at the Claude mansion.

This place is the Claude mansion.

Oh my, welcome home s.h.i.+n-sama, Augusto-sama, you returned rather late today.

Ah, Im back. Un, its because we wanted to show Claude Town to these two people.

You really do like our town that much, huh. Im really happy!

Well Although thats true

The gatekeeper-san looked really impressed. He probably also likes this town a lot.

By the way, those two people are?

Im sorry for my late introduction. I am Augusto-samas fiancee, Elizabeth von Coral.

I am Augusto onii-samas younger sister, May von Earls.h.i.+de!

When the gatekeeper-san heard that, his face stiffened and went down on one knee.

Pl-pl-pl-please accept my apologies! I did not recognize the Princes fiancee and the Princess, Im sorry for being rude!

The gatekeeper-san seems to have lowered his head to the point where it was touching the ground.

Is that so, so this is the normal att.i.tude.

It is our fault for suddenly coming here. Please raise your head.

Yes! I am thankful for your words!

After he said that, the gatekeeper-san stood up.

Hey, Elizabeth-san. Should I also display this kind of att.i.tude?

Its fine if you call be Elly, s.h.i.+n-san. I wouldnt know what to do if the person who performs a two-person comedy act together with Augusto-sama suddenly displays that kind of att.i.tude, so please dont.

Thats right! Its fine for s.h.i.+n onii-chan to stay like that!

For s.h.i.+n to suddenly display that kind of att.i.tude Ill think that youre planning something.

A two-person comedy act, huh

Putting the unpleasant words Gus said aside, I somehow received permission.

Since these two will be staying here, could you please let the people know?

Yes! I will definitely do that!

When I said that, another person ran to the mansion.

Then, lets head inside.

Yes!

I understand.

Fufu, it seems like you have completely turned into a resident of this mansion.

Thats why I said, dont say that kind of thing!

Because Ill become nervous again!

f.u.kukuku.

Augusto-sama

Onii-sama, your character is really bad!

After I went to all that trouble to return to normal, I became nervous once more. If I were to meet Sicily in this state

Oh, my? s.h.i.+n-kun, did you just return?

When we entered the mansion, we immediately ran into Sicily.

Why at such a time!

N-n-no, uh-um-um Thats right! These two, its because we gave them a tour around Claude Town

When I said that, I introduced Elizabeth and May-chan.

Its been a long time, Elizabeth-sama, Princess May.

It seems like Sicily knew them.

Its been a long time Sicily-san, I will be indebted to you for a while starting today.

Its been a long time Sicily-san! Please take care of me as well!

Eh? Are the two of you also partic.i.p.ating in the training camp?

No, we only came here to meet Augusto-sama.

Since its the long vacation and all, we came to play.

Since we will not hinder the training camp at all, will you permit it?

I also ask this of you, Claude. Could you please take care of these two people?

When Gus requested this of her, Sicily turned to look at me.

Oh, umm Uh, its because Gus has been with the research society most of the time, it seems like he hasnt been spending time with these two Thats why Is this okay?

As long as s.h.i.+n-kun and His Highness are fine with it, it doesnt matter to me

Wh-what?

Is there something the matter, s.h.i.+n-kun? Somehow your behavior is a little strange

Th-theres nothing particularly strange with me!

Is that so?

Sicily said and inclined her neck. And I somehow knew that Gus was laughing somewhere behind me.

Dammit! Ill remember this!

So the conversation earlier was about Sicily-san, huh.

s.h.i.+n onii-chan and Sicily-san, theyre very suitable!

Yes?

Wait a minute, you two! What are you guys saying!?

What are you guys doing blurting it out!

s.h.i.+n-kun As I thought, youre acting strange?

Th-thats not true at all! That aside, is grandmas lecture over already?

Ah, yes. It has just ended, and so before supper, we were thinking of heading to the baths

When Sicily said that, everyone else came out from the room.

Melinda-sama, it was a really wonderful lesson.

Is that so? But if youve already seen s.h.i.+ns enchantment magic, it shouldnt amount to much?

Walford-kuns enchantment magic, I guess I should say that I dont really understand it

Ah, that is certainly true. For a normal human, my lecture would be better.

Im not implying that Melinda-sama is inferior or anything like that at all

Its okay if you dont explain yourself because that child is abnormal.

Youre right about that.

Hey! Dont talk about me as though Im not in the same place!
