Knight is able to stand up, and I try to psych him up as soon as possible.

　Then Knight's short legs begin to move slowly, step by step.

　Maybe it's because he has a steel plate in his foot, but he doesn't care if he makes a gurgling sound when he walks on the floor.

　I move my hands and feet in a way that allows me to keep my hands and feet in a disjointed yet balanced position, depending on my psychic.

'Yeah, my right hand and right foot are moving at the same time.

　That's interesting because it's like a robot, but it's too cool for Knight to do.

　I move my arms and legs, being conscious of not moving my arms and legs at the same time.

　Then, this time Knight's legs get tangled up and he falls forward.

''Hmmm, it's hard to make them walk with magic...''

　I blurted out as I woke Knight up from his fall.

　Then I try to walk on my own to improve my understanding of walking.

　

　And next, wave your hands for balance........

　Hmm, it kind of reminds me of the time when I was struggling to reincarnate and walk. Even back then, I couldn't move my arms and legs as I wanted, and it was hard to keep a rhythm because of my new body.

"...Hey, Al?　What's wrong with you pacing back and forth in the hallway earlier?

　As I was looking back on the past like that and reaffirming my walk, Brother Silvio called out to me.

''........It's unusual for Brother Silvio to come into my room without saying a word. Just like sister Elinora.

'No, Al. We're in the hallway, you know?

　I looked around after brother Silvio told me to look around, and sure enough, the place we were in was the upstairs hallway.

　Apparently I had unconsciously walked out into the wide corridor as I was studying the walk.

'Just making sure we walk for a bit,'

Oh, really?

　Oh no. Brother Silvio's eyes are looking at me like I'm a freak.

　If I don't explain properly here, it will lead to a strange misunderstanding.

That's right. Brother Silvio, help me out a bit!

Cooperation?

　While brother Silvio tilts his head, I go back to my room and bring Knight to him.

'I'm trying to get this doll to walk now. But I'm struggling to get it to walk, so I need Brother Silvio to help me get an idea!

　I explain to Brother Silvio how I'm doing something noble to get him to cooperate with me.

　Then I make him trot around with his psychic to show his achievements in front of me.

''Hmm, I'm still clumsy after all.''

...Does Al want to be a magician?

'What?　I'm not trying to be anything else, okay?

　Just moving a puppet like that... well, depending on how you do it, it's like a puppet show and a spectacle.

　A comical movement that only a puppet can make, and one that can only be made possible by magic. If you put a gimmick in there and use wind magic to bring it to life like the play in the capital.............................you might be able to do it.

　There are also other magic tricks that use spatial magic to erase things and escape magic.

　I'll appear in every country as a god in transition and perform oddball tricks to earn a day's worth of money.

''Not that I want to be one, but the life of a magician isn't too bad...''

Oh, yeah?　But Al would be able to use his specialty in magic to attend a magic academy and become a court wizard--

Absolutely not.

I see you have a firm refusal to do so.

　We want to live in the country, but we are sent to school in the city and forced to work in the city. What a hell that would be.

'I'm only seven; it's a little early to be thinking about the future. Anyway, Brother Silvio, would you like to walk in front of me for a moment?

'What?　Yeah, that's about right.

　At any rate, it's procrastination for insisting on being young. I think it's a very convenient word to say, since both Nord Dad and Erna Mom will back off if I say this.

　Brother Silvio, who has accepted my request, walks down the hallway.

''Well?''

　After walking about ten meters past him, Brother Silvio looked back at him.

　You are fast. Humans are moving their arms and legs pretty quickly, aren't they? It was a natural speed, but I didn't understand it.

I don't know what to say.　Until I say it's okay.

Uh-huh. All right.

　I love brother Silvio because if I ask him sincerely, he will take care of it.

　If I make sister Elinora do this, she'll say, "Why do I have to walk all the time! And I'm angry.

　I observe brother Silvio walking slowly for a while.

　Checking the movement of his limbs, his overall balance, and the position of his head. Sometimes I walk alongside him, too.

　And then, while exchanging words with Brother Silvio, he tries each thing on Knight.

　Each time, Knight falls over and over again, sometimes moving forward.

　And the next thing you know, the blue sky turns Akane....

'Come!　Knight!

　As Brother Silvio sits down and spreads his arms out, the Knight I controlled trots over to him and takes a short run.

　The Knight jumps one last time as he moves forward in front of Brother Silvio.

　It's all tucked into Brother Silvio's chest.

''We did it, Al!　This time you'll succeed!



　We watched Knight grow up, and we were so impressed that we almost cried.

　It was as if we got the same feeling as when our own child first walked.

When I hold her, she's so stiff in some places.

...I planted a steel plate to make it easier to balance.

　It doesn't help that the level of comfort has gone down in pursuit of things like walkability. It's okay, because the slime cushion is in charge of holding comfort and such things.

　Brother Silvio put Knight on the floor and I'm going to let him walk with my psychic.

　He jumps and runs around us in comical movements to share in our joy. It's so cute to watch.

'Haha, you're delighted,'

When you move it around like this, it looks like it's alive.

　As I'm looking at the pretty, moving knight like that, Saara comes up the stairs and calls out to me from the direction of the stairs.

Mr. Alfried, it's time for dinner!

　Oops, I noticed that it was already dinner time.

　I feel like I've been preoccupied with moving Knight for a long time.

　I don't know if brother Silvio was too absorbed to notice, but he was laughing as he looked out the window at the reddish-blue sky.

''Well then, let's go to dinner.''

Yes.

　I leave Knight in his room and then head downstairs to the dining room.

　Then I walked down the stairs with my brother Silvio.

Oh, brother Silvio. Don't tell anyone that I've been running the Knight. Next time I want to time it so I can surprise you.

All right.

　When I say it, feigning innocence, Brother Silvio, who really took it seriously, nods with a chuckle.

　Well, it's actually because I want to surprise Meena, who is on patrol this evening. I'm looking forward to watching the sun go down.
