Eliza. Can you move to the side for a moment?

Oh, man. You mean like this?

Yeah. Something like that.

　I see the target's coordinates, and I quickly construct a spell.

　Let's see.
　I'd say the distance to the target is roughly 200 meters.

　If it's at this distance, it's enough to apply the additional syntax of "bullet speed enhancement" to the basic magic flame bombs.

　There's no need to confirm the shoot-down.
　There's no way I couldn't hit a target like that.

''Eh......?''

I'm sorry. I got a bug up there.

　Good grief.
　The obsession of the people who have been snooping around me these days is just mind boggling.

　At first, I'd been willing to ignore it to a certain extent, but when it comes to being watched until the holidays, it's a different story.

　It's time to take some kind of countermeasure.
　It's getting tiresome to deal with.

"Hey. Abel. I'm sure you're serious about using your magic right now ......?

　Hmm?　Is that what I'm really doing now?

　That's true.
　The magic just now seems to have been slightly more powerful than when I fought Eliza before.

　This is because that magic tool is unexpectedly quick to move.
　If you're blatantly lazy, there's a chance you'll be avoided.

　However, I've been looked down upon as well.
　I never thought that that level of magic would be taken as serious.

''This is ridiculous. Where would someone use serious magic to get rid of a featherworm in front of you?''

'Yes, you're right: ....... Ah!

　A moment later, the teacup almost slipped from Eliza's hand.

　The tableware used in this shop is a little different from the blatantly mass-produced items.
　The majority of them are one-of-a-kind pieces that show the owner's attention to detail.

　Good grief.


　I don't want to get into trouble later on.

　I reach out quickly and catch the teacup just as it's about to fall to the ground.

'Hmm. You got it. Keep it tight next time.

...... Oh, thank you.

　Well, well. What on earth was I talking about?

　I drank the herbal tea in front of me to moisten my mouth and decided to cut to the chase.
　

'Sorry. I'm sorry, but I digress.

No. It's okay.

Hmm?

'...... because what you said earlier was nothing. I'd appreciate it if you could forget about it.

　Huh. You're a quick change of heart.
　But if Eliza says so, it's convenient for me as well.

　I don't intend to tell the truth at this time, but I thought it would be uncomfortable to tell a lie about my origins.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time in the city.
