I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

6. Bullshit – 02

I want to be helpful.

I want to be of help to someone. I want to be of help to someone. It was the only divine name inherent in the aria’s base. Even Arya herself does not know why she has such feelings. I just came to know. That day, after waking up on his bed, I only came to know about it naturally. That this body was just harboring an earnest desire to be of help to someone else.

And found. Arya herself, the one person she wants to help with all her heart. Someone who wants to give their whole body to be strong.

“… Lord Cain.”

After that, Arya wanted to be of his help. He hoped that it would become his strength to show affection for the mean girl who did not know where he came from. However, Arya’s wish did not come true. Because Arya was of no use whatsoever. At the most critical moment, Arya has become an obstacle that he must take care of.

“…Ahh.”

Yes. In the end, he wasn’t helpful at the crucial moment. he said to himself He said he wouldn’t help. That’s why I can’t accompany myself.

…It hurt, and it was sad. However, rather than that, the feeling of ‘resenting’ filled her heart. If he had been strong like the women he met on the island, if he had been as useful as those women, he would have been able to follow him at that moment. He wouldn’t have disputed the fact that he was following him. I could have been able to help him. This thought occupied Arya’s head.

was hoping May you have the strength to help him. And hoped. I hope that I can be a strength to him by having the same strength as those women. …At the end, the day I can stand proudly next to him.

That’s why Arya chose magic. Arya’s teacher said: If he devotes himself to magic, in less than a year, he will have the power to defeat most wizards. If he became that strong, he must see him differently.

…but the teacher was wrong. This is because Arya was reaching out to the other side of the far-off heaven beyond the realm that her teacher had achieved throughout her life in just ten days.

Of course, I didn’t reach that level overnight. Before leaving for the capital, Arya learned the basics from her teacher and acquired various knowledge related to magic. Carol also had a talent as a teacher, and Arya was also able to achieve this because she also had an outstanding intelligence.

However, even taking that into account, no one could deny that Arya’s growth rate was unprecedentedly abnormal in history. Even if it was fast, it was too fast. Arya’s appearance of learning magic at a terrifying speed seemed like she was not learning magic, but rather recalling things she had forgotten.

…However, Arya herself was full of dissatisfaction. It was slow. It was too slow. At this speed, it seemed impossible to make it on time. A few days later, he was scheduled to leave the Duchy of Estel and leave for a place that was nothing short of hostile. This time, I could never let him go alone. This time, I had no intention of waiting for him again, outside of the crisis. So, there was no time. He had to become stronger as quickly as possible. That way, you can become his strength.

“…..”

Close your eyes. sink into the depths of consciousness. Arya’s body was on the ground, but her mind, immersed in meditation, reached the far side. turn your gaze upward Aria’s eyes were full of far-off knowledge not yet allowed to mankind. Reach out. did not reach Regrettably, it’s still not enough. With Arya’s current level, she couldn’t go beyond this.

[…ah, ugh…]

However, I couldn’t give up like this. I couldn’t back off like this. That’s how desperate she was. stretch out your hand again I reach out my hand again, not caring at all about not reaching or being bounced off. And at last, her hand touched the piece of truth.

ugh-

At that moment, Arya felt her mental world expand once again. I realized that the wall that stood in my way had collapsed. However, at the same time, it ended here. If I tried to get something more than this, I didn’t know that it would put a strain on my body. I hated it. To worry him was something he would not want to die for. Her consciousness emerged from the depths of the mental world. open your eyes slowly When she opened her eyes, she realized that her master was standing right in front of her.

“…Cain-sama?”

He couldn’t even imagine that he would visit the place where he was training, so when Aria showed a dumbfounded expression, Cain smiled shyly at her.

“Sorry, Aria. I didn’t mean to be particularly disturbing, but it seems that you were bothered by the slight look at your complexion out of concern.”

Arya’s face turned bright red at the words of Cain, who apologized to him. And as if he hadn’t thought about it at all, he quickly waved his hand.

“Ah, ah, ah, no. I’m really fine. Yes, no. No need to worry. Yes, it is real.”

Saying that, Arya involuntarily took a step back from Cain. It was because he had been concentrating on magic all day today. It was completely different from when he usually waited next to Cain. At that time, it was because he always washed his body thoroughly to hide the smell that might fly from his body.

But now it was different. From dawn to now, I hadn’t had a single drop of water on my hands. If Cain sniffed her body odor and frowned, Arya was confident that she would pass out immediately.

“…No, I just sat and meditated all day today, so what’s the point of caring…”

“Master doesn’t know anything.”

Carol looked at Arya with a slightly bewildered look, but she easily ignored her teacher’s gaze. In the first place, it might be impossible for Carol, who ended her green youth without ever holding a woman’s wrist, to understand a woman’s glasswork-like delicate mind-

“…?”

And Cain, who had been watching such a scene, tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand why. In the first place, it was close to impossible for him to understand the situation as he did not know anything about it.

As Cain stared at the two in bewilderment, Aria quickly used her magic. After covering his whole body with magic thinner than a sheet of paper, he temporarily reversed the flow of air between him and himself. As a result, it is safe to assume that there is no concern that one’s personal scent will be leaked to him. Then, he refracted the light around his hair to make his frizzy hair look a little shiny. The light refracted by Aria’s magic will deliver a distorted image to Cain’s optic nerve.

It took only 4.7 seconds to reach this point. It was an artistic movement that could be called the culmination of mana manipulation that few wizards dared to imitate. …And to Carol, it was a scene that made her sighs come out of her own eyes, which could only be seen as a waste of talent. I’d never taught him anything like that, but I couldn’t even guess what kind of niche it was.

‘…was it worrying for nothing?’

Just now, with a meaningful face on his face, he thought of himself as pitiful for throwing a warning at the little duke. I felt like an idiot for thinking that a child like that would be a threat to the world. The possibility of putting the little duke himself in danger was plentiful, but Carol didn’t want to pay attention to that. It was because he thought that it was something the little duke himself had to do on his own, not that he was fussing around.

“Inspiration, what’s wrong with your expression?”

“…it’s nothing. Little Duke.”

Of course, Cain, who has no talent for recognizing magical powers, couldn’t recognize what had just happened in front of his eyes, so he still had a dumbfounded face. Well, even if you were aware of it, nothing would change.

Only then, when Carol was sighing inwardly, did Cain remember that he had something to say to Arya.

“Come to think of it, I forgot to congratulate you. The scene that happened just before, I saw everything too. I don’t know, but I must have achieved something?”

Saying that, Cain spoke to Arya in a soft tone.

“You did a great job, Aria.”

“…ah.”

The moment she heard Cain’s praise, Arya’s face brightened. I was happy. I was more happy that he had said one word to me, ‘You did a good job’, rather than having achieved my achievements, rather than jumping over the wall that was blocking me. I felt proud. It was satisfactory. A happy feeling filled Aria’s heart.

“…Sir Cain…”

Arya unwittingly took a step towards Cain. I felt that he had acknowledged himself.

Of course, I know that I still lack a lot. However, there was nothing I could do about my heart beating wildly without my knowledge. Arya’s face turned bright red in a different way than before.

Maybe I didn’t even know I was qualified. It might not have been a burden he always had to protect, but a confident person who deserved to stand in the same position and look at the same place as him.

…And at the end of the day, it’s not something you want a lowly girl like yourself to be reluctant to do, but maybe.

perhaps.

“…aria? Are you okay?”

“…Yes Yes!”

At Cain’s worried tone, Arya let out a shrill voice without even realizing it. For an instant, she mistakenly thought that her outrageous imagination had been caught by him.

“Aren’t you sick? You have a lot of heat on your face?”

Saying that, Cain placed his hand on Arya’s forehead without hesitation. That touch was as straightforward as treating a younger sister rather than a woman.

…And, Cain’s behavior instantly lowered Arya’s mood.

He didn’t seem to see Arya as a woman. He was making himself too comfortable. It wasn’t all bad, but Arya was frustrated that he wasn’t even aware of herself as a woman.

“…Not at all, it doesn’t hurt. So please keep your hands off me.”

“uh? That, is it?”

Arya spoke in a cold tone without even realizing it. Arya’s attitude caused Cain to take his hand off her forehead without realizing it. I don’t know what happened, but it’s because I noticed that things were going strangely.

“…..”

I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it. I really hated it.

If it were the princess of the system or the clergyman with big breasts who was sitting here right now, Cain would never have adhered to this attitude. At least, there wouldn’t have been any unreserved skinship like the one he did with Arya now. Let alone skinship, he would not have been able to recklessly approach them, recognizing them as members of the opposite sex. That fact was getting on Arya’s nerves even more. It wasn’t like this. I hated the thought of being treated as a child by that person forever.

So, I had no choice. Special measures were needed here. It was a little heartbreaking to have to say this to him, but it was also a necessary step considering the more distant future.

“Cain.”

Arya smiled and spoke clearly to Cain.

“From now on, I hope you don’t carelessly touch the lady’s body. Because I am all grown up now.”

Arya’s cold, chilled remarks caused Cain to shrink involuntarily. Certainly, Arya’s words made sense, so Cain readily admitted his mistake.

“…I’m sorry, Aria.”

Throwing an apple at Arya, Cain couldn’t hide his depression. While thinking that there must have been a period of rebellion coming to Aria, who had only been naive.
