433-The extreme of corruption





 I moved to my room as I successfully won the juice and snacks with my psychics.

'Do you have any books you'd like to read?'

 My goal is to read leisurely, so I let Rah-chan take her to the bookshelf to pick out a book.

 Ra-chan stared at the books on the shelf.

'Do you have any recommendations for Al?'

'How about "Daily Life of Servory"? It's a very helpful book on how to think about taking it easy and skipping things. There are a few excuses that Rah-chan could use to skip lessons and tea parties...

Read!

 When I offered a specific example that I could use, Rah-chan ate it up.

''Oh, um, I don't want Rahna-sama to read a book that's too weird...''

'Strange books are rude,'

 It's as if I'm trying to instill some weird knowledge in Ra's.

'I'm going to read this!'

'Why, of all things, would you be interested in such a book! See, here's the Dunfrey Adventures series! It's the most popular adventure in King's Landing.

I want Servory!

 Loretta is desperate to make a presentation, but Ra-chan's will seems to be already firm, embracing the daily life of Servory.

 Loretta is shocked to see Ra-chan like that.

''Normally you don't show the slightest interest in reading...''

'Because it's hard to get kids to show interest in books. Why don't you see this as an opportunity to get them to love them?

 It's good to be interested in books, even if it's a bit of a wicked feeling.

 Reading books from a young age will help you to think logically and to choose the right information to read.

 There's nothing wrong with reading books, even if it means deepening your values and knowledge.

 Servory is very short and easy to read, probably because the author himself didn't bother to write long sentences, so even Ra-chan will be able to read it.

''That's right. If it can be a gateway for the book-hating Rahna-sama to show interest.......just as an entry point.

 Loretta was reluctant to agree with me, but she allowed me to do so.

'You can read it wherever you like,'

I'll read it in my sleep on the carpet.

Great. Let's use the slime pillow as a cushion.

 Rah-chan sat down on the carpet and I handed her the slime pillow that was beside her.

''Funi-funi.''

 Rah-chan plays with the slime pillow that was handed to her, touching it with her hands.

 I don't have any problems with this pillow because Rah-chan has already shown an excellent adaptation to the slime pillow.

 If you're going to use a cushion, the shapeshifting slime is the best way to go.

 I use ice magic to change the hardness of the slime pillow and lay it on my head.

 Then, Rah-chan lays down the slime pillow as if she were imitating me.

 As she does so, one of her twin-tails drapes over my face.

 The smooth hair was very comfortable and smelled nice, but it tickled a little.

'Oh, I'm sorry,'

Okay.

 Rah noticed that my hair was hanging over my face, and she manhandled it.

 If my hair was that long, it would be hard to take care of it every day. Not to mention how long it would take to wash it and dry it.

 A woman who maintains long hair deserves respect for that alone.

 By the way, I don't let my hair grow out because the longer I let it grow out, the stronger my habits come out and it's a pain in the ass to dry it.

'What do you read, Al?'

'The Adventures of Dumfrey, I think. I had a new book out.

 The Adventures of Dumfrey is a series of books. It is mainly about adventures in various countries and islands.

 Basically, what is described seems to be real, so it's a great way to get an insight into what you're reading about.

Interesting?

 When Ra-chan asks that, he gets silent pressure from Loretta.

 I guess she wants me to tell her it's interesting and get her interested in other books.

'It's interesting to learn about different lands,'

Hmm.

 But now I'm not so interested in it, Ra-chan turned over on his back and started to read about the daily life of Servory.

 Seeing that, I'm going to teach her some magic too, but there's something I'm curious about.

 It's Loretta, who is waiting right beside me.

''Well why don't you sit down somewhere else too Loretta?''

'No, I am obliged to reserve it as a maid.

'I don't feel comfortable when you look down on me like that, but...'

 Unfortunately, my room is not that large.

 You can't help but feel like you're being watched, as I'm lying in the center of the room, even if I try to refrain from being on the edge.

"If that's the case, I'd like to sit down for a moment.

 Loretta politely kneels down to listen to my request.

 But she lifted the bottle we brought and began to try to pour it into the cup.

'Wait a minute. I'll use it in my magic practice, so don't serve it.

Huh, huh...

 When I said that, Loretta sat down quietly with a subtle expression on her face.

 Finally, the room has settled down. Now I can read a book while slowly practicing my magic.

'Well, Ra-chan. You can practice your magic while reading a book.

What are you going to do?

'Your arms get tired holding the book in your hands, don't they? So we're going to fix it with a psychic.

 Then I use my psychic to float the book and read.

'See, this way your arms won't get tired because you won't have to prop them up with your hands, right? I could flip the pages, too, with my psychic, and all I had to do was move my eyes to read the book.

'It's true! Al, you're so smart! I'm in!

 Impressed, Ra-chan immediately begins to read as well, using her psychic to do the same.

 For a while, Ra-chan seems to enjoy it, but when it comes to turning the pages, she struggles a bit.

Mmm, it's hard to turn one page at a time.

'It's important to put the magic on just one thin page. If you set it roughly, the other pages will turn over with it.

I got it! But it's going to take some time.

You'll get used to it. If you do it over and over again, you'll be able to do it without being aware of it.

Okay!

 Rah-chan replied and then immersed herself in the world of the book.

 Even though it's quite difficult to penetrate magic power into just a thin sheet of paper, I didn't expect her to take shape so quickly. As expected of Sherka's sister and the daughter of a magical nobleman.

I'm thirsty.

 I guess about fifteen minutes of psychic reading have passed.

 Ra-chan stood up and turned to head over to Loretta.

'No, Ra-chan. There's no point in being able to use a psychic then.'

Yeah?

 Ra-chan still doesn't seem to understand the essence of psychics.

 I told him in a stern voice.

The ultimate use of a psychic is to not move a single step from the room. As long as you have the psychic, you can do what you want to do with the least amount of movement, without having to ask someone else to do it for you.

 I whimper and raise my upper body up and psychic the bottle and cup on the table.

 I open the lid of the bottle and pour it straight into the cup, pulling it over to me.

 Then I thirsty with Libra's juice.

'See, this way I can drink it without moving an inch and without worrying about when I want to.

I see!

 Impressed by this awesomeness, Ra came all the way back over here and activated his psychic as he sat down.

 Then he tipped the bottle the same way I did, filled the cup with juice and pulled it to hand.

 He also opened the lid of the cookie and pulled it over to him, placing it on an empty plate.

 Without moving a step, the juice and candy are all in front of me.

'Well?' Isn't psychic the best?

Great!

 Ra nodded at my words with the best smile I could muster.

 Good. Ra-chan seemed to have realized the beauty of psychics.

'Drinking juice while sleeping is a high risk of spilling it, but if it's only a cookie, I can bring it to my mouth with my psychic without grabbing it with my hand.

 I read the book with my psychic while I'm slumped over, and in parallel, I manipulate the cookies to bring them to my mouth.

 All I do is shift my gaze and chew.

'I'll do it too!'

 And my wonderful student, Mr. Rana, imitated me.

'Duh, the height of depravity...'

 For some reason, Loretta made a rude remark when she saw our perfect way to spend the day.

'I see what Al said in the beginning! I guess magic is supposed to make the hassle easier!

That's right.

 That's what I'm talking about, Ra-chan. It seems that in such a short time, you have understood the true meaning of what I have said.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a good deal more money. It's a wonderful thing.

''I feel like what I'm saying is right, but I also feel like I'm wrong... ah, how should I explain this to Sherka-sama and the head of the family...''

 I was just playing with magic with Ra. It's nothing more, nothing less.

 I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but Loretta is overreacting. I'll make sure she doesn't report anything weird later.
