Dear Alfried and Rana. It's almost time for dinner.

 Loretta's quiet words brought me and Ra's consciousness, which had been rumbling around at Loretta's quiet words, back to reality, and I whipped myself up.

'Hmm? Is it that time already?

You're early.

 It seems that quite a bit of time had passed before I knew it, as I was reading with Rah and teaching her how to use her handy psychic and how to spend a meaningful amount of time together.

 The sun was already tilting and the sky was already turning reddish-red.

''Though I expected Eric or Alecia or someone around Alecia to come along the way, but they never came today.

'No, he came, to be precise, but he fled when he saw the decadent life of Master Alfried and the others...'

 I muttered something and Loretta mumbled as she averted her gaze.

 Hmm, I came to check on you, but I guess it's like Loretta was smart enough to send you away.

 I'm very grateful. Thanks to that, I was able to relax today.

 I've been so busy these days, thinking and preparing for invitations. It's been a long time since I've been lounging around in my room like this. Thanks to this, I felt more content than ever.

Al, I'm hungry. Let's go downstairs.

'Yes. You can't just laze around and be hungry, you know.

 We consume energy even if we don't do anything. Even if they are just reading a book and lounging around, they are still hungry. It's strange.

 Me and Ra-chan walk out of the room and into the dining room.

'It's times like these, you think. I wish I could get to the dining room in an instant.

Yeah, I thought so. Moving on can be a pain in the ass.

'What? We're just walking!

 Loretta looks at Ra-chan, who sympathizes with my words, and Loretta is surprised to see her eyes peel back.

 That just walking around is a pain in the ass. The more leisurely days I spend like this, the more lazy I want to live.

'What do you think Ra-chan should do to solve this hassle?'

'We'll work our magic in an ingenious way so that we don't have to walk.

 Maybe it's because today's class is paying off, but Ra understood the intent without using the word magic. I'm glad for that.

'How, exactly, did you do that?'

Drill a hole and go down?

 That's a child. Freedom of thought.

 I didn't expect you to destroy part of the mansion to save yourself the hassle of moving it.

''It's a hassle because if you make a hole in it, you have to fix it and you'll get angry, right?

That's a bad idea.

 This is something I do sometimes too, but there is no point in calling in a big hassle in order to save yourself some trouble.

 It's a good idea to have a certain amount of self-responsibility and the ability to judge which is more troublesome.

 I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

 If I use transference magic all over the place, my life will be very easy.

 However, if people know that I can have this special power, all sorts of hassle will come to me because of that magic.

 Tory will not hesitate to ask for the transportation of supplies and people, and she may be treated like a taxi by sister Elinora. I'd rather not have to deal with that kind of future.

''Then I'll use wind magic so I don't have to walk by myself.

How?

'The wind will carry me up on my body.'

'Oh, that sounds like a good feeling. It could be nice!

Heh.

 I shuddered at Ra's flexible thinking.

 I had thought about using wind magic to fly, but I had never thought about using wind magic to float my body and advance.

 As expected of a pure child. Unlike me, his mental age is not that of an old man, so his ideas are far more flexible.

 It may be difficult to fly around freely in the sky, but I think I can at least float with my body and move parallel to it.

'What would you do if you were Al?'

 He asked me if I was seriously considering Ra's idea in my mind.

'My idea would be to ride on top of an object with a psychic on it.

 I used my earth magic to create a suitable plank and levitate it with my psychic.

 Then I moved swooping down the corridor by getting on top of it.

''What! Great, great! Al, I want to ride with you!

 When I use this kind of magic in the mansion, I get white stares from everyone except Mother Erna, so I'm happy to be told this.

''Then let's move to the dining room with this.

"Sluicing!

Oh, hey!

 Loretta is saying something from behind me, but I don't care and I proceed to put Ra-chan on the board.

 There's very little effort since I'm just moving parallel on the board and there's little load from magic.

 It's great because I don't have to worry about rocking.

 Ra-chan was marveling as she put her arms firmly around my waist.

'I can use it like this with a psychic!

''Non-attribute magic may seem plain, but it's surprisingly versatile, right?

 So the first person who spoke so passionately to me was the God who made me reincarnate in this world?

 At the time, I was only half listening to the story, but now I can understand why God was so passionate about it.

 We pushed through the upstairs corridor and hit the stairs that lead down to the first floor.

'Whoa, the stairs?'

We'll be fine. We're floating in the air, so the bumps don't matter.

 Ignoring the stairs, he went straight into the air.

'Whoa! Wow! We're going down in the air!

 Long, cumbersome stairs are not a threat to you if you use your psychic skills. Use your psychic to take a shortcut.

"Ah! Alecia and the others! Hey!

 As we went down from the second floor to the first floor, we encountered Alecia, Sister Elinora and Luna-san just walking down the first floor corridor.

 Alecia and Luna-san who are looking up at us and are dumbfounded, and Elinora-san who has white eyes.

''Al was acting weird again...''

''But it looks like you're very happy to have Al in the mansion.

"Uh-huh, I really do. Do you think I'll have to have that one carried over later?

 Sister Elinora was dumbfounded, and Luna-san and Alecia walked into the dining room with smiling eyes.

 At first, I landed on the first floor and got off the board.

'You're not going in like this?'

I'd love to come in, but the adults would be mad at me if I did.

 I don't think I'm being rude, but Mom Erna and Dad Nord are going to be angry.

 Regardless of whether they have guests or not.

'Why?'

I don't know about that.

Yeah,

 Maybe they don't like to see you looking sloppy, but I don't really care about that, so I'm not sure. If it's a little uncool and convenient, that's fine.

 Once Loretta catches up to us, we go into the dining room.

 However, it's the third day since Alecia and her friends arrived at our house.

 There wasn't already the same tension as the first day because each of them were getting along well with each other.

 The last time me and Ra-chan will be here, Bram won't be blinkered. Rather, he was more interested in talking to brother Silvio.

 After sitting down at the same seat as the first day, they made a light toast and began to eat.

''Rana-sama, what would you like to eat--''

"Psychic.

 When Loretta called out to serve as usual, Ra-chan activated her psychic and pulled her plate in without moving a step.

''Did you ... omit the chant?''

 I'm surprised that Ra-chan used magic at the dinner table, but what's even more surprising is that Ra-chan succeeded in omitting chanting.

 I taught her how to use psychic and how to be prepared to use magic, but I didn't concentrate on teaching her how to skip chanting.

 This is an unmistakable talent of Ra-chan.

''That's amazing, Ra-chan. You're successfully omitting psychic chanting!

What? Really?

 When I said that, Ra-chan reacted as if he was the first person to notice it.

 Perhaps it was unconscious.

''Yeah, yeah, you only mentioned the magic name.''

"I'm going to try again! Psychic!

 Hearing Alecia's words, an excited Ra-chan tried again.

 However, the plate in the distance didn't say a single word.

''Huh? Al, I can't.

What was Ra's thinking when he pulled the plate over to you earlier?

'I have something to eat far away. But I can't be bothered to take it or have it taken away.

A, Al....

 The moment I heard Ra-chan's words, Nord Dad let out a headache.

 I don't know, but I feel like it's a bad situation.

 But magic, once you succeed, you need to practice iteratively with a clear image of the success you're experiencing.

 If it was just magic, I thought about putting it off later, but that's not the case when it comes to chanting omissions.

 This technique would surely come in handy in Ra-chan's future.

 If she didn't let her body learn it now, she might forget her senses.

'Think of the same thing you did then and use your magic again. I can see your favorite egg rolls in the distance.
I'm keeping it.

 There's a plate with a platter of egg rolls in a diagonal position on Ra-chan's side.

 Rah-chan gazes at it, a somewhat dead look in her eyes...

"Psychic.

 He successfully skipped the chanting and succeeded in drawing the egg rolls to him.

 Then, when he saw the egg rolls coming in front of him, Ra's expression returned to normal and he trembled with joy.

'Wow, Al! I was able to skip the chant!

Congratulations! I'll be proud of you all when I get home!

'Ehehe, I'm going to show off to my brother and sister!

 Everyone else looked at us with twitching expressions of joy, but I dared not care.

 They might get mad at me later, but for now, I wanted to celebrate the fact that the little girl had taken a step forward.
