Chapter 169: Try Your Best
[TL: By Creed}
"Magic?"
Hearing the unexpected topic, I couldn't help but tilt my head in curiosity.
Sofia also seemed puzzled.
If Aisha wants to learn magic, I don't oppose it since it's not particularly dangerous...
But why magic?
Aisha has never shown any interest in magic before.
"Aisha-chan, why magic?"
"Can I learn really amazing magic...?"
"Um... yes, I think that's possible."
"Then... I want to help Papa, Mama, and Licorice. I want to do my best too."
Clenching her small hands tightly, Aisha spoke with an unusually determined expression.
She doesn't want to just be protected... is that it?
I understand how she feels.
At first, I couldn't do anything either...
I relied on Sofia to help me in so many situations.
But that's not enough.
I want to be independent and stand on my own...
And when it matters most, I want to support the person I love.
Not just being protected, but supporting each other—that's the ideal.
"That said... hmm."
"Papa, no good?"
Those upturned eyes are unfair.
I almost blurt out, "Sure, go ahead," right away.
"I'm not against it. Aisha's desire to try her best is genuine, so I want to support her."
"I feel the same way. However..."
"We can't use magic ourselves, so how should we go about this?"
There are schools where you can learn magic...
But I don’t want to take my eyes off Aisha.
There are people who harbor bad intentions toward beastkin.
There are those who plot evil deeds.
And now that it's known she's a rare species, it’s best to stay by her side at all times.
"Fufufu."
A confident voice echoed from somewhere.
It was Licorice.
She crossed her arms and puffed out her chest proudly above Aisha’s head.
"When it comes to magic, it’s me! The Magical Miracle Pretty Pure Fairy, Super Licorice-chan, is here to shine!"
I always wonder, doesn’t she get tired of introducing herself like that?
"Licorice, are you going to be her teacher?"
"That’s right!"
"Well..."
"That’s... unsettling..."
"Why!?"
Because...
"Because you’re Licorice."
Sofia and I spoke in unison.
"This lovey-dovey couple is so rude!"
Sorry about that.
"I may look like this, but I'm a magic expert, you know? I'm really smart, you know? If I were human, I'd probably be like a sage, you know?"
"Sorry, I don't doubt Licorice's magical abilities."
"You say that as if you're doubting everything else... Well, fine. Anyway, I can teach her, but what will you do?"
What should we do? I exchanged glances with Sofia.
I think Licorice would make a good magic teacher...
And Aisha should be safe.
But I’m worried that she might teach her some weird stuff.
It seems Sofia is thinking the same thing, as she has a subtle expression.
"Licorice."
"What?"
"Then, I’d like to ask you... please only teach her magic, okay? Don't teach her anything unnecessary, please."
"Fufu, leave it to me!"
"If you teach anything unnecessary, well... fufu, it seems like one extra dish might be added to tonight's dinner."
"I will teach young miss magic with all my heart and soul."
Licorice bowed gracefully in mid-air while accepting the role of magic teacher.
Since Sofia has gone this far in warning her, I think it'll be fine.
She probably won't teach anything unnecessary.
"Licorice, you're going to teach magic?"
Aisha asked eagerly, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes, that's right! This fabulous me, the Special Magic Master Miracle Cutie Girl, Magical Girl Licorice-chan, will teach you!"
"Wow!"
Aisha clapped her hands enthusiastically.
Licorice seemed pleased by this, putting on a proud expression.
"I'm going to train Aisha to be a top-tier magician. But the road to training will be tough, you know? Can you keep up?"
"I’ll do my best."
"Great answer! From now on, call me Master!"
"Master-do?"
"Master! Master! I'm not a seasoning!"
"Oh!"
"Why are you clapping?! Where's the impressive part in that!?"
"Master-do is cool."
"That’s Master!!!"
Watching their interaction...
"This seems like it won’t be a problem."
"Yeah, you're right."
Sofia and I smiled at the heartwarming scene.
TL Note: Happy New Year Everyone......
