Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 12: Chapter 19: Charles Mind Reading (5/6)

Shis Char~

My younger brother ran pitter-patter towards me with cute steps.

Hes so adorable, running with all he got like that the moment he saw me.

Halt turned three this year, and Im nine.

Shis!!

When Halt reached me, he threw himself at me and hugged my waist tightly.

Morning, Halt.

Good morning!

(Shis Char shmellsh sho nice~)

Halt rubbed his face on my clothes. Ahh, so cute!

Ehehe.

Halt likes me.

I have to request the maid to wash my clothes from now on with the detergent they used on the one Im currently wearing!

Halt, are you going to eat breakfast now?

Yesh!

Me too, lets go to the dining hall together?

Okay~

I reached out my hand and Halt took it. Everything was fine until this point.

Thina~

Until Halt called that woman, that is.

Yes, Halt-sama.

The maid that Halt called just now, Half-Elf Tina, approached us and took Halts other outstretched hand.

I held Halts right hand, while Tina stood by his left side as she held his hand.

Good morning, Charles-sama.

...Morning.

I dont like this maid.

Thats because

Ehehe!

(Thinash hand, sho shmooth~)

Halt seems happier when Tina holds his hand compared to when I do it. Its so vexing.

It feels so inexplicable.

Is this jealousy?

Im not really sure, but I dislike Tina a bit. My chest feels stuffy whenever I see Tina and Halt getting along well.

Shis Char, whatsh up?

Ah, no, its nothing.

I was in a daze, so Halt was worried.

Lets go have our breakfast!

Ye~sh

I head towards the dining hall with Halt and Tina in tow.

I rested for a bit after breakfast before starting my magic training. Im going to Ifrus Academy of Magic this year.

Ive been practicing magic since I was five, so I dont think Ill be left behind even if so many excellent students study there.

Its not really about whether I can keep up with the lessons in the first place, but whether I can be the number one mage in the academy.

Its all to protect Halt.

He was blessed by the deities to become the [Vessel of the Hero], so once the demon king started his reign on this world, its possible that Halt wont be Halt anymore.

I have to defeat the demon king so that Halts body wont be taken over by the otherworlder.

Theres only two years left before the arrival of that otherworlder. I hadnt heard any news about the demon king, but I have to do what I can now with all I got.

Sis Char~ go go, you can do it ~

Recently, Halt would come cheer me everytime I practiced magic, so Im all fired up.

Thats good, but something is also bothering me. Tina would also follow Halt while Im practicing.

Halt-sama, its dangerous, so please step back a bit.

Hey, its not like Im going to cast a spell that will put Halt to danger!

I got annoyed, but Halts smile while he waved his hand calmed me down.

Tina was the maid who suddenly arrived the day Halt was born, and she became his exclusive maid. Father acknowledged her ability, so there was nothing I could do.

Tinas skills as a maid was too xcellent, so she didnt have any problems taking care of Halt.

Theres no problem about her taking care of him, but

Thina, I alsho wanna ush magic~

Halt-sama, youll be able to practice magic once you turn five years old. Lets door best so that youll be able to do different spells just like Charles-sama, alright?

Yup! Me excited~

Halt and Tina happily chatted, and I cant help but be bothered about it.

Shes Halts exclusive maid, but not only does she take care of Halt perfectly, she also does the household chores in the mansion of the Count of Silveray excellently.

I didnt have anything to pick on with how she takes care of Halt and how she does her maid duties.

Thats precisely why Im feeling so jealous.

Will Halt get lonely once I enter the academy of magic?

I dont like it if hes going to be fine just because Tinas with him.

Ugh

The number one thing that worries me the most recently is the possibility of Halt getting closer to Tina once I enter the academy of magic.
