Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai - Chapter 566

Ra-chan's self-training

"Gregor, I think it's time to go home."

　She told Gregor, whose face was disheveled as he was surrounded by moving dolls.

"Hmm, are you leaving already? It's not even dark yet...?"

　I looked out the window and the sky was still bright.

　But that doesn't mean you can stay out until the sun goes down.

"If we're too late, Schugel-sama will get worried."

"I'm fine, okay?"

　Ra-chan might be okay, but I'm not okay with it.

　After what happened yesterday, if we were to hold hands and cross the front door again at night, we would seriously be in danger of losing our lives.

"That's right. Well, although it's a shame, let's call it a day for today."

　It seemed that Gregor understood that Schugel loved Ra-chan.

"So that's how it works, psychic release."

　With the spell undone, the dolls that had been moving around Gregor stopped moving, as if their strings had been cut.

"Woooooooooooooooooo! Angela! Atmos! Gekota! Chucky!"

　Gregor cried out in despair as he saw the dolls no longer moving.

　Dreams eventually fade away.

"Gregor, please be careful!"

"I am very sorry. We will see him off in place of our heartbroken husband."

　Bastian quickly came forward while Tickle ran over to Gregor and called out to him.

　Apparently they had decided that my husband would not be of any use for a while. A good decision.

　I'm kinda sorry.

　I merely apologized in my heart and boarded the carriage, seen off by Bastian and the other servants of the Doll family.

　We got in the Misfilto family carriage and decided to head back to the mansion.

"Ra-chan, did you have fun today?"

"Yes! I had a lot of fun talking to Gregor and I even got a doll!"

　As Ra-chan spoke in a good mood, she was holding an Usappi doll in her arms.

　Apparently it was given to him as a gift at some point.

"Good for you"

"But I couldn't get Usappi to move."

　Ra-chan's happy expression suddenly changes to a gloomy one.

　It seems he was disappointed that he wasn't able to control his beloved Usappi.

"That's not something you can do right away. You'll need to steadily train yourself in controlling your magical power before you can use it."

"Yes! I want to be able to control dolls like Al and Tickle!"

"Well, all we can do is practice. If you have free time, use your psychic powers to keep the spoon afloat. Even these trivial moments are valuable training time."

"But today, my magical powers are..."

"You don't need to float ten. Just having one floating all the time will be enough training."

　Incorporate psychic powers into your everyday life.

　It should be a natural part of your daily life, like breathing, walking, or grabbing things. You don't need a lot of magic to train it.

"Got it! 'Psychic'."

　When I explained this, Ra-chan seemed to understand and used her psychic powers to levitate a single spoon.

"Alfleet-sama, Rana-sama, you have trained quite a bit today, so I don't want to push you too hard..."

　Loretta, who was sitting opposite me, timidly spoke up.

　Thinking about it objectively, Ra-chan is still five years old. It might be too tough for her to complete the same menu as me, who still has memories from my previous life, or Tickle, who is already an adult.

"Sorry, Ra-chan. I forgot about that."

"Yeesss. I'll do it."

"Eh? Why? There's no need to force yourself."

"If you do it, do it!"

　Ra-chan replied with a pout.

　Apparently he was angry about being treated like a child.

　If things get to this point, being nice would be a bad idea.

"Okay, then let's try it as much as we can. Just to let you know, you can't turn it off when you're eating or taking a bath, okay?"

"Yeah. I don't turn it off even when I sleep."

　As expected, at Ra-chan's level, if she falls asleep her magical power control will be lost, but it's important to do it with that kind of determination.

　With Loretta there, Ra-chan won't push herself too hard.

　I'm sorry, but I'll leave that to the director.

　When I gave her a look, Loretta simply nodded as if there was nothing she could do about it.

　As we were talking like that, our carriage arrived at the Misfeed family mansion.

"Lana, please watch your step."

"……Yeah"

　Ra-chan is still not used to constantly using her psychic powers, so her mind is still on mana manipulation. She's a little distracted, but with Loretta's tireless care, it's no problem.

"welcome back"

　As I walked through the front door, I was greeted by Floria, not Schugel.

"I'm back."

"…………"

　Loretta and I replied, but Ra-chan seemed distracted by the magic.

　Normally one would scold a girl who doesn't even return the greeting, but Floria didn't seem to mind at all.

　Rather, he looks pleased.

"Oh? Perhaps they are practicing controlling magical power?"

　Since Floria is also a magician, she seemed to understand at a glance what kind of training Ra-chan was doing.

"Yeah. That's why I can't talk."

"Okay. Go back to your room and be careful not to fall."

　As Floria said that, Ra-chan slowly walked up the entrance.

　Loretta slowly climbs the stairs, being very careful not to fall.

　It's a bit of a dangerous scene and makes you feel nervous just watching it.

"I was surprised that Lana volunteered to practice magic."

　Now, I was thinking that I should also leave, but then Floria spoke to me.

"Do you not usually practice magic much, Lana-sama?"

"If asked, he would do it, but perhaps it was just a whim, he wasn't very enthusiastic about it, and he never did it of his own accord."

　Ra-chan is still five years old. There are other fun things to do, and she is at an age where her interests tend to change.

　Even though she is still young, her schedule is full of tea ceremonies and parties, studying, etiquette, and magic practice. Compared to other children, she has less free time, so it's only natural that she would want to spend it playing.

I guess so.

"So, I'm very curious as to why Lana is voluntarily practicing. Could you please tell me?"

　Floria smiled brightly.

　Since Ra-chan can't speak during practice, I have to explain it to her.

　No wonder he let Ra-chan go so easily.

"...I see. So Lana is trying her best to get the doll to move."

"That's right. I think I'll be practicing for a while, but I'd appreciate it if you could look at me with kind eyes."

“Yes, it’s a wonderful thing for my daughter to devote herself to magic, so no one will stand in her way. Rather, I’m worried that the Slowlett family might be uncomfortable with her…”

"My family is used to me, so I don't think it will be a problem."

　When I told her this fact, Floria chuckled.
