章 10: Chapter 10. My magic training and Gravity Magic

After sword training, I dragged my exhausted and sweaty body into the house.

Inside, Lilia had already prepared a water basin, a towel and a change of clothes for me in one of the rooms.

Like usual.

"Thank you, Lilia." I smiled gently, then picked up the towel.

"It's only my duty, young master," she replied expressionlessly, ever professional.

But I could see her eyes smiling.

In truth, I was a bit indifferent toward Lilia in the anime, but I liked her in this world. It was clear that she deeply cared for me and worked hard to fulfill her duties; she was like a part of the family.

I stretched out my hand, then used water and fire magic to quickly fill the empty basin with warm water.

In general, people rarely bathe in this world. In our household we had a habit of only doing it once to twice a week.

On other days, people would just wipe their bodies with a wet towel. That was all.

As for me, I had magic, and also a decent control of it, so it was not a problem to bathe every day.

Since I trained physically every day, I always ended up sweaty and sometimes also dirty due to often training outside.

I was just a child, bathing was even less troublesome than otherwise. With my body size and the bathtub size I required, it was not a hassle for Lilia to simply prepare a wooden basin for me and then empty it afterwards.

Soap existed in this world, but it was greasy and not very user friendly. The most basic form of soap derived from animal fat, I presume.

Because of this I didn't use soap every day, just from time to time.

Yet still, I was seen as rather pedantic since I insisted on bathing daily.

For this, I just told my parents that I like water. I had to keep in mind that I'm just a 2-3 year old child and usually children view bathing as a hassle.

And as a result... They seem to have fully bought it.

I took off my clothes fully, then entered the basin to quickly wash myself.

By now Lilia learned that I like some privacy, so she had already left the room.

She found it funny that I was so shy, but c'mon. I didn't need anyone to see my little baby elephant trunk if I could help it.

She had bathed me before when I was an infant, but that was then and now was now.

After taking a quick bath, quick because I'm so hygienic, I thanked Lilia again who had been waiting and began cleaning up after me, then eventually reached my room upstairs.

After closing the door, I sat down in a seiza position on the floor in the center of the room, my body straight like a spear.

I took in a single large breath, then let it out to concentrate my mind.

I then stretched out my hand slightly and faced my palm upwards.

It was time for me to begin my training.

Explosion!

I inwardly activated the <Explosion> spell.

Then, a small circular red flame the size of a large fist appeared floating above my palm.

As I maintained the spell, the red fireball quickly became more uniform and round, and then turned orange, and then finally yellow.

This was as far as I was able to get it.

Red -> orange -> yellow.

When I first started at 2 years old I was only able to produce red flames. Advancing two stages was the result of my training over the last year.

At this moment, my flames continued intensifying at the Yellow stage into that I have just stepped into.

Interestingly, even though I know the Advanced rank Exodus Flame, the Intermediate ranked Explosion still seemed to be my strongest fire spell.

For its good points, <Exodus Flame>, as an Advanced spell, can be cast quicker to cause a devastating explosion and affect a huge area. It gathered more total mana quicker to form a massive fireball.

However, because the fireball created by it was so massive, I was unable to concentrate the heat as much.

In practice, Exodus Flame was devastating when cast on short notice, but Explosion had more potential for destruction with enough time for me to accumulate mana inside it.

I believe what I was practicing now was actually the so-called 'Nuclear Explosion' that Rudeus used against Orsted when he bumped into him for the first time.

Simply an overloaded <Explosion> spell.

After all, all that Rudeus did at that time in the novel was pour a lot of mana into an unnamed fire spell in the heat of a moment and thoughtlessly fire it at Orsted while imagining the strongest explosion he could.

This should be the one spell he used - Explosion.

Right now, if I wanted to finalize my spell, the yellow fireball would collapse in on itself and then expand in size, but I didn't do it.

Instead, I continued trying to apply more mana and more pressure to the fireball for a few moments, then loosened it a bit, and then resumed attempting to pressurize it even harder again.

After doing it for a long while, I dispersed the spell.

Trying to train my casting speed, I quickly formulated the Explosion spell again and reached the Yellow stage as quickly as possible.

At one point Lilia brought me a post-workout meal and I quickly wolfed it down, then resumed my training.

Then I continued training in the usual manner by trying to concentrate the mana more and more.

Since 2 years old I no longer used the method of exhausting my mana through just pouring it out ever since I learned Intermediate ranked magic. Wasting my mana this way seemed like a wasted opportunity at practicing my skill when handling real spells instead.

I don't think I was losing out in any way, since my mana throughput was also increasing when practicing this way just the same.

These days I also experimented a bit with Howling Magic and had some successes, but I no longer wasted my mana by pouring it out through this pathway either. No matter how I exercised it, I didn't seem to improve this way.

I wanted to focus on improving my raw destructive power first and foremost. Compared to casting real magic, Howling Magic turned out to be just a gimmick.

After casting <Explosion> like this several times and burning a lot of mana in the process, I focused on another drill.

I walked up to the window and opened it.

I got on top of a chair, stretched out my hand and focused my aim.

'Stone Cannon!'

An Intermediate ranked Earth spell, the original Rudeus's signature single-target move.

I created a cone-shaped stone bullet, floating near my hand, and tried to make it as dense and hard as possible.

Then I added a rotational force to it, ramped up the firing speed as much as possible and then launched it while carefully aiming. I did all of this quickly whilst trying to pack the most mana into it as I could.

!!!

The stone bullet shot out mysteriously silently, then in an instant struck a stone dummy down below in the garden, shattering parts and bits of it.

The speed of this stone bullet was incredibly fast and the result devastating. It was similar to a sniper shot.

There wasn't much I was able to do with Stone Cannon apart from modifying the bullet and overloading it with mana, but that alone seemed to be enough.

According to my memory, Rudeus was just the same, I don't remember him using any special tricks, yet his full-powered Stone Cannon could even shatter Demon Kings.

My bullets takes the most aerodynamic shape I can make, imitating a railgun projectile. I make then dense and pointed.

I then also add in a rotation to them, to improve the accuracy more so than improve penetration, as it is with normal bullets.

The magic power I put into the spell is still the only driving force behind the bullet's explosive speed.

Just that is working well so far.

I practice the speed of my spells mainly by using [Stone Cannon] which is the best spell for it, probably because the projectile is solid unlike a wind blade or a fireball.

After practicing my Stone Cannons for a good while, using different kinds of bullets and shattering two stone dummies below that I created beforehand, I began to do something else.

I quickly created several differently-shaped rocks and placed them on the wooden floor of my room.

Apart from practicing with the common spells, there was also a very special kind of magic that I managed to grasp over the last year.

I stretched out my hand and concentrated.

'Ha!'

I sent out my mana.

Then, the rocks started floating upwards as if they became weightless.

It was Gravity Magic!

I initially had the impression that Gravity Magic was a high-level magic that I might only achieve after years of practice, but I was positively surprised.

Once I grasped the principle behind it and realized how to use it, it was not as difficult as I thought at all.

There were many reasons and tricks that helped me to grasp Gravity Magic that easily.

Firstly, to use Gravity Magic a person needs to be able to manipulate pure mana.

In my eyes, Gravity Magic is a formless kind of magic just like Disrupt Magic. Learning how to manipulate pure mana is the first requirement for both.

On that note, I have also learned the basics of Disrupt Magic - how to use your own mana to disrupt the structure of a spell that's being cast.

My Disrupt Magic is not very strong yet, and seems quite chaotic, but I seem to understand how to go about it.

In regards to Gravity Magic, apart from being able to manipulate pure mana, a person also needs to have an idea of how Gravity Magic is even supposed to work to pull it off.

To do it, I relied on my basic physics knowledge from Earth of what gravity really is.

I also observed and imitated how objects created by spells float and are then sent flying when cast. For example, stone bullets, icicles and the like.

As it turned out, these are all being controlled by Gravity Magic to stay afloat by negating gravity.

I'm not sure if their initial velocity when they're shot out at a target is also the result of Gravity Magic, but just observing how the spells float was enough to give me a clue.

In this world 'Telekinesis' is not the kind of magic that keeps objects in the air and moves them around.

It is 'Gravity Magic'.

When you want to make things float, you don't use your mind or mana to lift them up. You mostly negate the gravitational pull of the planet in a certain area - this way the affected objects enter a zero gravity state.

When you want to pull a specific item toward you, you wrap it in mana and then affect it with gravitational force, pulling it toward you.

Next, things are a bit different when trying to push things away, but you once again manipulate the gravitational force to apply a vector to an object, causing it to be pulled away.

It's no wonder that Rudeus failed at 'Telekinesis' when he casually tried it during his early years. He had no idea how to go about it and in the first place he didn't even yet know Disrupt Magic and how to manipulate pure mana.

For me, once I had a general plan of action in mind, I was able to naturally grasp Gravity Magic relatively easily once I began experimenting. Relying on Einstein's Theory of General Relativity made it even easier to imagine the process.

I think the fact that I'm very young also played a role.

As it seems, the younger you are, the easier it is to learn magic in this world.

It's similar to how learning Silent Casting is effortless for a child, but adults require enormous effort and skill to pull it off.

If you ask anyone in this world, Silent Casting is a very high-level technique that only master magicians can use.

But is it really?

Once a child knows how to do it, they can learn it easily.

With this in mind, it might not be shocking that I grasped Gravity Magic before 3 years old, but instead being so young is what made it easier.

I've been training with this special magic for over 6 months already.

My current ability wasn't yet enough to make Gravity Magic my trump card in combat, but I was working on it every day, improving my range and the force of gravity.

To become a master of Gravity Magic!

In the future I can make Gravity Magic my ultimate move and my speciality.

By practicing from a young age, I'll be the strongest Gravity Magic user to ever exist!

Zero Gravity Field, High Gravity Field, Telekinesis, Space-Time Manipulation... All of these might be possible.

I'm excited.

章 11: Chapter 11. Roxy’s lessons, Barrier Magic and a pervert’s heart

During the next two months of being tutored by Roxy, she went with me through all of the Elementary and Intermediate attack spells.

Because I was skilled enough at using them already and because Roxy had free time in the evenings, I soon also started having night-time classes.

I then adjusted my schedule to also have time for strength training in the morning and enough time for my own magic training.

I discovered that a magic tutor was really not necessary to make me a powerful mage, since that was mostly just about talent and personal training, but there were still many things that as a newcomer to this world I could learn from Roxy.

Among them, there was various miscellaneous knowledge, magical theory and history of magic that is known to the world, information about the world, her own experiences, melded magic, some magic spells that were not included in the guidebook and others.

Of course, if Roxy's lessons were completely useless, there would be no point in her teaching Rudeus for a whole 2 years.

Roxy's a good teacher, I could say that.

She was teaching me progressively according to my understanding.

Even though I probably seemed like a genius and appeared exceedingly insightful in certain fields, if I didn't know or understand something, she'd still teach me patiently.

This made me respect her a bit more.

She was a smart, capable and hard-working girl.

There were things about magic that she could not explain to me or teach me, but that mostly stemmed from the fact that probably no-one in this world knew about it.

Compared to studying back on Earth, Roxy's classes were also easier to understand and actually interested me. A class where I'm learning something that I genuinely want to learn.

In this kind of situation of course my studies would progress smoothly.

One of those days I asked Roxy: "Teacher, can you teach me Barrier Magic?"

Roxy replied with her usual indifferent expression, "I'm not familiar with Barrier Magic. Also, even if I knew, I couldn't teach you. Barrier magic is the speciality of the Milis Church. They control and monopolize the knowledge on Barrier and Divine magic. It's forbidden for members of the Millis church to teach Barrier Magic to others."

"I thought so," I mumbled quietly.

This is also the answer I previously got from Zenith when she was teaching me Healing magic.

Zenith did learn the Elementary ranked Barrier magic back in Millis, but it is forbidden to share this knowledge.

If it is found out that someone had broken this rule and taught others Barrier magic, they would be persecuted and hunted down by the church.

Zenith herself is especially serious about obeying the law, keeping promises and those kinds of things, so she would not relent.

As for Roxy, she could only tell me miscellaneous information about Barrier Magic.

…

A bit later, I approached Zenith in regards to Barrier Magic once again.

This time with a plan.

"Mom, I know you can't teach me, but can you show me Barrier Magic?"

"Show you? Well, alright. Let mom show you what she can do!" She stretched out her hand, then graciously recited, "I call for my God to protect me from harm. I fear no danger, for you are with me, and your divine power shall shield me. Magic Shield!"

A mostly transparent spherical barrier formed around Zenith out of nowhere.

"Okay. I got it." I nodded. "I call for my God to protect me from harm. I fear no danger, for you are with me, and your divine power shall shield me. Magic Shield."

As I repeated the chant perfectly, I felt mana flowing through my body in a set pattern. I controlled this feeling and allowed the spell to activate.

Then, a semi-transparent barrier formed around me as well.

I smiled.

Too easy!

I then looked up at Zenith who looked a bit stupefied.

I quickly said, "Mom, you didn't teach me. I just heard an adventurer say the Incantation, and l learned it. It's okay, right?"

"..." Zenith was silent as she stared at me intensely.

A few seconds passed like this.

'She won't be angry, right?'

"Aaaaagh!!! My son is so smart!" Zenith screamed out loudly, then started tightly hugging me.

She was crushing me.

Uhh….

Am I smart?

I don't know.

I think people are just stupid to have not thought about this!

Though, most people seem to require a period of training to master a new spell.

But It had nothing to do with me. Simply knowing the Incantation was enough for me to intuitively grasp just an Elementary ranked spell like that.

And like this, I have learned the most basic spell of Barrier Magic - the Elementary ranked: Magic Shield!

After this I was able to cast it silently as well.

As for the effect of the Magic Shield, it was average.

I was even a little disappointed.

[Magic Shield] forms a barrier that blocks magical attacks and follows the caster as long as it's continuously and consciously maintained.

It also has the power to isolate flames or cold, or reduce their effect. But it only works on magical flames and cold, not on environmental heat and cold.

As for physical magic attacks like shooting out stone bullets and icicles… It also works!

I guess it's because these things are created by mana and are basically crystalized mana, so they're still blocked.

It has no effect on pure physical attacks like sword strikes and arrows though. It was a purely magical barrier.

But the worst part of it all was that... it also blocks your own spells from going out. Once you create a Magic Shield around yourself, it will also block your own spells from going out if you dual-cast them.

According to Roxy, the Intermediate rank Stone Wall and Advanced rank Earth Fortress are stronger defensive options. This, or just having a swordsman protect you and cut down magic spells for you.

The main problem was that it was only an Elementary-ranked barrier. Even if I could overload it with Mana to make it stronger, it took a significant amount of time and wasn't very powerful because the base-rank of the spell was too low. And it would also be shattered by my own magic going out.

Other downsides are that the shield can only be maintained if I'm within it, it cannot be cast away from the body, and the only shape I can make it is spherical in nature. Basically, it was a good trick to know to have more options, but it wasn't overly useful in combat.

It's also said that there are other kinds of 'barrier magic', such as barrier magic that heals light wounds and one which promotes the creation of specific hormones in the brain to lessen the feeling of pain, but Roxy and Zenith both don't know these.

…

Shortly after starting lessons with Roxy, I asked her one of those days to cast a Fireball.

She was confused by my sudden request, but still went along with it as I persisted.

"Well, alright," said Roxy expressionlessly and then stretched out her hand.

Flames began gathering in front of her palm as she chanted, "Let the great protection of fire be on the place thou seekest. I call a refreshing..."

I stretched out my hand as well and sent out my mana to interfere with the spellcasting.

Disturb Magic!

Roxy continued, "...burbling stream- Ah?"

Roxy suddenly cut her incantation short and a confused expression appeared on her face as her fireball suddenly extinguished and her cast failed.

"Seraph… Was that you?" Roxy looked at me, her slightly lazy-looking eyes filled with surprise.

"Mhm." I nodded.

It was the first time that I used Disturb Magic on another mage, but luckily it succeeded.

I feel that Roxy didn't put much focus into her spell casting either, so that might have made it easier.

"Aah, Disturb Magic?!" Roxy screamed out with an expression of shock.

I raised my eyebrows.

Roxy knows about Disturb Magic?

"How did you learn Disturb Magic?" Roxy questioned curiously.

"Uh, I just sent out my mana to interfere with your spell. That's all… I thought it might work, but I wasn't sure," I said softly while playing with my thumbs like a good boy.

"Ah. You just sent out your mana…" Roxy replied with a stiff smile.

"Teacher, what is Disturb Magic?" I asked curiously, faking ignorance.

Roxy looked at me for a moment, then explained patiently, "Disturb Magic is said to be legendary magic which allows a magician to cancel other people's spells. I've never heard of anyone being able to use it though. I don't think even the professors in the University of Ranoa where I studied can use it."

"I see…" I muttered.

So it seems that Disturb Magic is not an entirely unknown type of magic in the modern world. There is some information floating around about it, but it's mostly a legend.

Come to think of it, I think the Principal of University of Ranoa was shocked when Rudeus displayed Disturb Magic during his enrollment test, but he still accepted it rather easily. I guess he had heard about this before and was simply surprised that Rudeus could use such a high-level technique.

In practice, interrupting someone's spell wasn't overly difficult. As long as someone is able to manipulate pure mana, I suppose.

All that you need to do is stir up the mana a bit and mess-up their process of formulating a spell.

It's like the enemy magician building a huge house of cards while casting a spell, but you just flick away one of the cards at the bottom, making the entire structure collapse.

It required very little mana too, but was extremely effective.

I guess it would be even more effective since most people had never encountered it before and would have no experience of having someone interfere in their spell-casting. As if being able to cast magic chantlessly and instantly was not enough, it was an ultimate and simple counter against most magicians.

Following that, Roxy questioned me on how I was able to grasp Disturb Magic.

I feel she wanted to learn some secrets that might allow her to learn it herself.

"Well, I don't know. I just did it." My answer was vague.

It was not entirely because I didn't want Roxy to learn Disturb Magic, but because I didn't think she had any chances in succeeding when she couldn't even cast magic without a chant!

If she focused on trying to learn Disturb Magic, while even Sylphy with Laplace Factor and talent in chantless magic had difficulty grasping it, then she would be simply wasting her time.

Roxy looked a little bit disappointed that I couldn't provide her an answer.

But of course, I didn't just show this to her to lower her self-esteem or to show off.

"Teacher, how about we practice together? You can try casting magic and I will try to disrupt it. By training like this, maybe you'll be able to improve your focus."

Roxy's eyes secretly lit up when she heard this.

From this point onward, I began practicing Disturb Magic with Roxy.

Roxy would focus on her own spellcasting and try to resist the interference of my mana while I focused on improving my use of Disturb Magic to interrupt her spells.

Roxy should have thought that this way she might be able to improve her own skill and maybe even learn Disturb Magic.

While I don't think it might necessarily help her to grasp Disturb Magic, it shouldn't be a bad training method to improve her spellcasting focus itself.

Most importantly, I proposed all this because it was a good practice method for me.

Before this I could only practice Disturb Magic while dual-casting, and I wasn't the best at both just yet.

As I can finally put my full focus on using Disturb Magic, I could feel my skill steadily improving as I practiced with Roxy from time to time. This way I mastered the ability to completely shut down a Saint-rank magician's spellcasting!

***

A typical day in the Greyrat household.

Middle of the night.

"Aaah! Aaaah! Ooooh!"

Irritating yelping and moaning noises were sounding out through the house once again.

Where were they coming from? Of course it was from Paul and Zenith's bedroom.

They were at it again. Busy at work. This happened every day.

With this, I could not sleep again, so I practiced magic.

I maintained a yellow <Explosion> fireball with an annoyed expression and continuously tried to compress it more and more.

I would slightly loosen it, then once again try to compress it.

The more mana I put in, the stronger the pressure, the higher the heat…

Stronger, harder.

"Aaaah, dear! I can't!"

"I'm only getting started!"

My left eye twitched as the voices were clearly reaching all the way to my own room.

Then I lightly gulped and started imagining the scene in the bedroom.

Damn. How much fun would it be to smash an Adventurer hotty like Zenith like this?

Zenith herself was hot, and so was Lilia, so in this fantasy world the standards of beauty should be rather high.

With my looks of Kid-Gilgamesh with blue ocean eyes and my strength I'll surely be attractive among girls.

I can't wait to grow up…

No, back to work.

My heart is calm and focused. Only perseverance remains in my heart…

I continued training, and continued applying pressure to my fireball.

There were other kinds of magic training that I also did, like creating stone figurines, improving my ice magic and also manipulating spells like Flamethrower to have it enter into a loop of continuously blasting out fireballs, but I often defaulted to practicing by simply working on my Explosion spell, I'm not entirely sure why.

I always had some water in my room for drinking, so I would sip some from time to time as I trained to stay hydrated.

Drinking at this hour might have not been the best decision, but it was my habit.

And because of this at one point I felt like going to the lavatory.

I quietly opened the door leading to the corridor.

But another guest was there already.

The blue-haired girl's squatting in the dark corridor, peeking into the room through the door's gap.

Her face flushed and she was holding in her quickened breath, but her eyes glued into the inner rooms.

I can see her hand reaching beneath her robes, doing some inviting movements.

I quietly returned back to my room.

I gulped.

That childish and cute magician-girl who's so innocent and sincere was actually secretly peeping on a couple having sex while masturbating.

Oh Roxy, how inappropriate!

I guess everyone has urges, even a decent girl like her.

To be honest… Roxy is impossibly pretty, as you could expect from a fantasy world. Her chest is small, but her small bubble butt is great and she has nice hips with nice curves... How do I know? Well, that was an accident - she forgot to close the door whilst changing.

She has the body of a teenage girl and acts a bit silly, but I guess it would only be rude to consider her a child.

After all, she is still a 40 year old woman that traveled the whole damn world by herself while killing many monsters and people! She went through and experienced more than most people will in their entire lifespans.

And just look at this scene… a girl in heat.

I personally wish she were a bit more developed, but it isn't something I can change.

A this moment I had thoughts of walking up to her to tease her with some childish talk, but I decided I'll just pretend I never saw this. I don't want her to always feel ashamsed and uncomfortable around me in the future.

But I don't think I'll be able to forget this scene.

Whilst keeping this in my mind, I once asked Roxy later, "Teacher, how do you relieve stress?"

"By studying."

It seemed that a shota hentai development was not fated for me.

Either way, I was just joking. It isn't like I can even get it up at 3-4 years old.

At best I could kiss her here and there. It might be fun to do that and hear her moan in pleasure...

Ah, why am I even thinking about this?

Right, it's because of these damn yelping moaning noises EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

They often don't even bother closing the door to their room, even though we have a guest! Does that arrogant Paul want everyone to hear just how good he is in bed? Is that it?

Damn you, Paul! You're raising me as a degenerate!

Yeah, I'll just blame Paul, everyone seemed to be doing that online back on Earth.

I swear I'm not a pervert.

Yeah, that's probably a lie… I'm just not as vocal about my desires as some others.

But I don't care.

If having thoughts of potentially romancing a demon magician girl and wanting a harem after reincarnating in a fantasy world makes someone a pervert, then I'm a proud pervert and I feel bad for anyone who isn't one because they'd be missing out big time.

That's my honest attitude.

I feel I'm still better than someone who outwardly and shamelessly groomed, groped and lusted after kids, masturbated to his own niece bathing using a hidden camera, peeked on his infant sisters' crotches and stared at Zenith's breasts like a dog as she was feeding them, worshiped and regularly sniffed unwashed stolen panties in pleasure, and spent his youth finding a cure for Erectile Dysfunction while having such pathetic and dull-witted mindset throughout the entire Mushoku Tensei that it was difficult to read…

***

Time passed.

As a live-in teacher, Roxy had begun to become a part of the family.

Sometimes she would go out to do small jobs in the village, sometimes Zenith would try to teach her some cooking recipes at home.

I thought that it wouldn't be difficult for someone like Roxy to just follow the steps of a cooking recipe, but she was strangely clumsy when it came to cooking.

Although a bit childish, she was way brighter than I initially thought. Still, it would seem that the easier something was, the clumsier Roxy got. The Roxy Paradox.

"Zenith-san, how did you end up with someone like Paul-san?" Roxy asked Zenith one of those days, curious.

"Well, he does have his good points… But it's probably because we traveled together for so long," Zenith said. "Although he was never able to keep his hands off of… Ah! Roxy-chan, has he?!"

"Not even once," Roxy replied with a somewhat flat expression.

Hm? Was she annoyed that even a man like Paul never showed interest in her? From what I remember, he only likes woman with big boobs.

I could see that Roxy had zero interest in Paul. She should only be self-conscious of her small size.

"Teacher, I think you're very pretty," I quietly spoke up from beside her.

"No, you don't need to comfort me." Roxy maintained a blank face.

I guess she wasn't interested in the opinion of a 4-year old.

"... I'm not lying. I think you're pretty," I said after a moment's hesitation, then shot Roxy a cute and innocent smile as I looked up.

"…Thank you for the compliment, but you should leave that kind of talk for a girl you like in the future."

"But I like Roxy."

Roxy said, "Okay. If you haven't changed your thoughts 10 years later, we will talk about it again."

"Okay. Then it's a promise!"

And even though it was reflected lightly, I didn't miss Roxy's slightly happy expression.

I could see Zenith smiling silly at this scene as well.

To be honest, I didn't expect anything from this, and Roxy also didn't take it seriously. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to plant the seed here. I might tease her about it in the future.

Through the months I grew to like Roxy quite a bit

My poor opinion of her has changed. She was definitely a girl I would want as my partner, if I could.

Meanwhile Paul: 'Is Roxy really alright? She's not growing, and her chest is still flat… Maybe we should have more meat from now on. She should look like this…' [Insert hot Roxy pictures here]
