11-playing tag





 Well.
 A few days have passed since I was reborn in this world.

 Until today, I haven't been involved in any major incidents, and I've been able to spend a meaningful amount of time every day.

 I had breakfast with Lilith in the morning and studied magic in the storeroom for lunch.

 After eating a pre-made lunch, I take a short break.
 When I wake up, I hunker down in the storeroom to study further and wait for Lilith to return. This is my daily routine for now.

 After all, I've been asleep for the past 200 years.

 There is a lot of work to be done.

 However, there was one unavoidable and compulsory event that existed this late afternoon.

''Hehehe! I'm here again today, chickie!

 The door was opened with a bang and interrupted by a bad boy from the neighborhood with blonde hair like burnt candy.
 
 This bonny aristocrat (my brother) has come to interrupt my studies almost every day since that day.
 
 Well, I can understand why Ted feels this way.
 He's probably just dying to have someone his own age to play with.

 I close the book with a slam.

 
 But.

 I have no business being involved in Ted's game.

"Oh, hey! Wait! Um, commoners!

 Sorry about that. You're a rich, fat kid.
 Unfortunately, I'm not busy enough to pay attention to the kids.
 
 I use my body-strengthening magic to strengthen my legs and jump out the window and land on the roof of the house built next door.

''Eeeeeee! Oh, man, what the hell! That move!

 He's still far from being in his element, but he's gotten quite used to dealing with the kid's body.

 It's less than a hundredth of the body-enhancing magic of his heyday, but apparently it was enough to surprise the bonbon nobleman (his brother).

''d*mn! I'd do it too!



 Ted jumped out the window, mimicking my movements.

 Hm.
 It seems that you can use body strengthening magic, just in case.

 But the speed at which the magic power is flowing out is too high. You can't do the basics at all.

 I'm not going to be able to get it right.
 And the magic power is like water that is released from the body.

 This is like wasting magic power on a prank.

''Ughhhhhh!

 Wow. .......
 So I don't have to tell you.
 
 Ted tried to mimic my movements with his inexperienced magic, but he didn't have enough distance to fly and ended up falling into the nearby bushes.

'...... Hey. Are you okay?

 I don't suppose you're telling me he's dead?

 Give me a break.
 No matter how much the other party is at fault, if something were to happen to a nobleman, trouble would be inevitable.

 
''Oraa! Wait! Chickadee!

 Huh.
 Maybe I was underestimating Ted a bit on this one.

 This bonbon nobleman (brother) is surprisingly tough.

 Ted emerged from the bushes with a blade of grass on his forehead and plunged straight at me like a wild boar.
 
 Well. What should I do?
 I could avoid him, or I could make him fall, but it would be a hassle.

 I silently jumped over Ted in a jumping-box, or horse-jumping fashion, lightly over him.

 
'Whew!'

 Ted lost his stance and fell face down on the spot.

 It looks like he fell down with a flourish, but it was tame, so it wouldn't do much damage.

''What the hell! You chickie b*tc*! Disgusting! Disgusting!



 You need to learn a little more vocabulary, don't you, Ted?

 Revealing his anger, Ted rolled around on the ground like a spoiled child.

'Don't you dare. Well, if you train diligently for another 20 years or so, you'll be a good wielder too.

 I'm dealing with a child. Let's take some comfort in that.
 If you think about it, I don't know what the average level of magicians in this world is.

"Kono! Holy shit! You're my prefect!

 Increasingly frustrated Ted.
 No, no, I don't think I've ever been your prefect before.

 Oh. I know.
 I think I might have gotten a good idea.

"Hmm. "Hmm, Ted. I'd be your schoolteacher.

'Oh! Oh, whoa! You're finally going to get laid! I'll give you a compliment!

Yeah. On one condition.

 I snapped my book open and then looked at the scarf around my neck.
 
 Ever since Lilith taught me, I've become a fan of this scarf as a protection against the cold.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you go to the beach.

'Right. If you can get this scarf from me before sunset, I'll be your prefect.''

 In any case, the bonbon aristocrat (my brother) would come to sabotage my studies.

 If that's the case, I feel like it would be better to use him as an exercise partner so we can spend meaningful time with each other.

 I was just hoping to get a chance to find out how talented the magicians of this era were.

''Alright! I suppose you could take that scarf away from me! It's a piece of cake!

 Ted seems to be getting laid, too.
 But where the hell does your confidence come from?

Okay, get ready to...



Let's go!

 As I used my body-enhancing magic to jump onto the roof of the house, Ted followed me up through a nearby crate and followed me upstairs.

 Ted and I began to play tag on the roof.
