Chapter 27 – New Power, Hot?....Leisurely

I woke up due to the discomfort around my chest.

My body is already awake but I feel like my body is too heavy.

「Do I have a cold?」

There’s no cold medicine here.

I put my hand on my forehead and I don’t seem to have a fever.

I wonder which body part of mine is hot.

This is weird.

「Cold, is it? Can I heal it using magic? Heal」

A fluffy white light, dark blue light, and a silver light enveloped my body in turn and disappeared.

「….What was that?」

My body feels lighter but, what is that strange power?

Until yesterday, I only saw black light when using magic.

But now….why are there dark blue and silver light?

Ah, yes, I remember.

I’ve got a new power since yesterday.

Perhaps what just happened is its influence.

….I’m hungry.

I’ll think about it later. I have to eat first.

I was mentally exhausted yesterday so I couldn’t eat much.

I went downstairs and entered the living room.

Kuuhi and Usa looked surprised.

….well, I guess I would normally wake up later.

Somehow, I feel like I’m a failure as an adult here.

However, how do you learn to wake up before them?

I don’t even have an alarm clock.

No, I wouldn’t wake up early even if I had an alarm clock.

「Good morning Kuuhi, Usa.」

「Good morning.」

You have a nice smile in the morning.

You have come to smile quite naturally, haven’t you?

I look at the wood deck from the living room.

Koa and Chai are sunbathing together.

……..those two are always flirting.

Maa, since they are getting along, there’s no problem.

Dust is rising from the square.

Is anyone training?

Areh?

It looks like someone just got blown away.

Ah, the pups have grown so much they can easily throw each other.

Come to think of it, I was thinking about if I should learn how to attack.

Looking at the square , another one got blown away…..Shuri’s child?

Ah, this time it was Boss-san’s child who was blown away…..they were participating in that training?

Hahaha….there’s no way, right?

I looked at the side a little and I saw the pups attacking each other with magic.

Ah, Shuri participated.

….I turned my gaze to the sky.

「It’s a beautiful day alright.」

A beautiful blue sky with no clouds.

This is going to be a pleasant day.

I’m not going to worry about the sparks, dust, and roars from a distance.

I should be able to learn how to attack in a different way even if I don’t need to participate in that.

In the blue sky, I suddenly saw a spiderling being blown away.

…..Boss-san is joining too.

「Breakfast is ready」

I moved my gaze to Usa, who said those words, and found freshly baked bread and salad on the table.

And hot tea too.

The one eyes are really reliable.

「「「Itadakimasu」」」

By the way, Usa and Kuuhi’s Japanese has improved a lot.

They seem to understand the meaning of the words sensibly.

I guess they’re smart.

Compared to them, I’m….

I listened to their conversation while eating.

Hmm, I still can’t understand the language of this world.

I wonder why.

「「「Thanks for the food」」」

I had a cup of tea on the wood deck and took a short break.

Today, we’re going to continue our investigation of the cave from yesterday.

On our way back, I saw something that really disturbed me.

How can they still use them after they die?

Are there anyone else who had been captured like them?

「Hnn?」

I don’t know what it is but I feel something strange in my body.

I feel something hot.

It’s the same fever I felt when I woke up.

Is the new power affecting me?

I place my hand on my chest and gently feel the power in my body.

The magic power is fine but the new power feels strange.

….what am I supposed to do?

After observing the situation for a while, the discomfort slowly disappears.

My fever seems to have subsided as well.

Is my body still adjusting to the new power?

I mean, am I going to be okay?

The discomfort and fever I felt settled down soon so there shouldn’t be any problem.

Okay, the new power is something I need so my body better get used to it.

Ah, looks like the special training is over.

….Boss-san seems to be in a good mood.

The others around are, ah, well, I’m glad no one’s seriously injured.

My offensive style would be….

The last time I saw beastkins, they had swords on their waists.

So, kendo?

No, no , no, that’s not something an amateur can do.

It’s not like I can just swing a stick around.

In short, no.

I can’t think of anything.

….come to think of it, haven’t been I’m worrying about the same thing as before?

Yeah, I guess so.

It looks like I’m not growing up!

Well, I guess it’s time for me to go and check out what has been bothering me since yesterday.

「Okay! Kuuhi, Usa, don’t go out. I’m going」

「Have a good….day」

「See you letter.」

「See you letter?」

Hahaha, I guess it was “later”.

The way they look at each other and practice over and over again reminds me of my little sister when she was still small.

…..she was cute until she was in elementary school.

When she started going to junior high school, light novel? I was a little scared after she got caught up in it.

No, she’s still my cute little sister no matter what.

When I went outside, Koa and Chai came running right up to me.

I pet both of them and let them unwind a bit before heading into the forest.

I wonder if Boss-san will be joining us today.

Hnn?

Ah, Light Blue will come with us today?

I mean, he’s in his cute size again.

It’s amazing that they can get as small as 1 meter.

He often crawls into the futon when he’s this big.

After that day, all the dragons flew around the sky.

Does that mean anything?

Well, they look like they’re getting along very well so I guess it’s not a problem.

We sprinted through the forest and arrived at the cave from yesterday.

I looked around and saw no change.

I stand in the doorway of the cave but hesitate a little to enter.

This is because I remember the last thing that happened yesterday.

Yesterday, after the pile of bones collapsed and dark blue power disappeared inside me, a part of the rock glowed and a door appeared.

To be honest, I was disgusted after imagining that there was another pile of bones behind that door.

So, I went back to the house without opening that door.

I didn’t have the energy to listen to the voices of the spirits again.

That curse is something that is mind numbing.

I hate horror!

I was bothered so much thinking that once I opened this door, I’ll see a pile of bones and the curse will start again.

However, I wanted to do something about it if there are victims there.

After a heavy sigh, I entered the cave.

Somehow, the air seems to be clearer than yesterday.

Or is it just my imagination?

Let’s check the door.

When I reach the space where the pile of bones used to be, I see the door.

It would have been nice if….it had disappeared.

However, it didn’t.

No, if it had disappeared, that would be a problem.

I stood in front of the door and stared at it.

「This is a gorgeous door, is there a meaning behind it?」

It is so elaborately decorated and there are even jewels embedded in it.

Anyway, let’s try to open it.

I hold the handle of the door.

I wish nothing will suddenly jump onto me.

「Okay」

I put all my strength to my arms and opened the door.

The door didn’t seem to be locked and it opened with a whistling sound.

The wind was blowing and I could finally see what’s inside.

It wasn’t a pile of bones but….
