Chapter 22 The Big Sister's Concern
I went to the inn Yuika's aunt run today, I suddenly feel worried something might happen to Erwin, I left him alone back home, but I can't stop being worried.
The inn isn't that big, but people keep coming to this place lately, because of the rumor about magical beast in the south forest or something, that Merlin girl also told me the same story, she even loses her comrades, and her friend told me that Merlin got injured so bad and Erwin helped her.
I wonder when did i teach him a healing magic technique, I don't remember a water attribute can do such magic, not with a low or middle-class magic at least, even there's any, he wouldn't be able to fully recover that girl's condition, she doesn't even look injured at all when I got back home, i wonder does he learn high-class magic?, but where? I believe I also read the book uncle gave us, there was no healing magic at all written there, I'm pretty sure of it.
I can't help myself but think of it, I'm spacing out in the receptionist desk, there wasn't a lot of customers right now, I'm just helping if there was an injured customer, but today, I've been seeing fewer people coming to this place lately.
Maybe the south forest is just too dangerous, I'm concerned about my and Erwin's safety, maybe I should've gone to another place with Erwin, but our only place to we can call a home is that house, the bread store our family owns, I can't just abandon it.
The air suddenly feels so cold, my body suddenly feels shivered, I can feel the ground shaking a bit and the feel of mana flow suddenly make me feel uneasy, maybe I'm not an expert magician, but I have an ability to sense the mana flow in my surroundings, it feels like someone just uses an incredible amount of magic power.
Yuika's aunt suddenly appears in front of me,
"Is that an earthquake just now?"
"I feel the ground shaking a bit Aunt Wilda"
She's the owner of this inn, she moved here a long time ago, she sure looks so young, her beautiful yellow blond hair reminds me of Yuika-chan, she looks mature but looks young at the same time.
Her beauty sure makes every other woman feels jealous, her mature aura can make every man in this world fascinated, but I never saw her go out with any single man, I wonder why.
Aunt Wilda seems worried, maybe because of the small earthquake just now, she's giving a treatment to injured people just now and then she feels the earthquake, of course, she would feel uneasy.
Rather than that, this terrifying magic power I feel just now, who could it be? I can feel the overwhelming power with the mana flow, I wonder if there was any kingdom's magician in the south forest now.
I heard something like the kingdom been recruiting a high-level magician to become an honored royal magician, I wonder if this south forest issue even needs a royal magician to take care of it, or maybe because adventurers are not coming back to south forest lately makes the kingdom have to take care of it themselves?
I can't think of anything that could pull out this amount of magic power, is there even any adventurer who able to cast such magic? they should've just become a royal magician instead.
"Ilya-chan, you alright?"
Aunt Wilda's face suddenly appears right in front of me and it's too close, too close. I didn't notice that she's still here at all, I thought she went somewhere after asking me about the earthquake, but it seems she just standing near the receptionist desk this all time.
"You look worried about something, are you okay?"
Aunt Wilda put her face closer to mine, I quickly backed away and unconsciously fell off my chair.
"Ilya-chan. You okay?"
Aunt Wilda quickly dashes towards me, she's trying to help me get up, I feel my back a bit hurt, maybe I hit the back of the chair too hard or something.
I'm trying to get up and fix the chair position, Aunt Wilda is still holding my body, she seems worried that something might happen to me or something because her face said so.
"I'm alright Auntie, don't worry"
Well I said so but my back is a bit hurt right now, Aunt Wilda's face seems relieved that I'm okay, I don't want to cause her a problem anymore.
Auntie went to her room after making sure I'm all alright, I continue sitting in the receptionist desk.
I didn't really notice it, but I'm not shivering anymore and the mana flow is normal again, maybe because I'm just spacing out right away.
