Chapter 30.1. My Daughter’s Talent
-Dad’s POV-
The sun begins to set. It’s almost evening. The sun’s rays are turning orange and staining the living room. I get up and turns on the light before it gets dark.
With a snap, I presses a button, and the living room lights up. It was before evening, so it might be a little wasteful.
He takes a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, pours it into a glass, moves to the living room, and sits deeply on the sofa.
“Huh, I didn’t expect our daughter to have that much magic power.”
With a troubled look, I tilt the cup and drinks the cold water. The cool water felt good on my body, which was probably on fire from the excitement. I must have been nervous without realizing it.
Suddenly, I remembered the time when I started drinking mineral water. Thinking back, it was three years ago when Miu was drinking mineral water with a smile, saying it was delicious.
Until then, she had been drinking coffee and tea but caught by her smile that seemed to blossom with deliciousness from the bottom of her heart, she and her wife started drinking mineral water.
Miu was so cute when she said with a smile, “Mineral water is expensive and delicious.”, we laughed at her words, but seeing her drink it with an adorable smile, we started drinking mineral water ourselves.
My mouth breaks into a smile as I remember my beloved daughter, even in the smallest habits.
Miu awakened to the holy attribute and became a healing magician. She’s certainly rare, but she doesn’t have that much magical power. I thought she could heal minor wounds.
Because I heard Miu ran out of mana after using her recovery magic 3 times. She’s pretty good at healing magic. I was relieved to know she was probably one of the best.
Miu’s strong power can change someone’s life, happily or unfortunately. She’s my daughter who can use some recovery magic. That’s how good she was. I don’t want her daughter to be unhappy. With this level of magical power, even the Takano family won’t overdo it. As the second son of a former count, Yoshitsugu knew just how muddy the noble world was.
I wanted to prevent Miu, who had a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, from being thrown into the nobility and having a hard time. My wife and I didn’t want her to cry with sadness.
However, that expectation has changed drastically. Miu’s beginning to develop this talent. I didn’t expect the magnitude of mana in the stone golem incident, nor did I expect her to become a recovery magician capable of curing magic disease.
That girl’s expression showed she believed anyone could use such simple magic.
In this one case, on the surface, we could have Aburage Haru pretending he gets cured by Elixir. However, we won’t be able to hide it forever. Even if the family keeps quiet, there are servants. And his bodyguards. The hospital where Haru’s going for an examination will also find out.
From somewhere, Miu’s story will spread. There’s no way to prevent it. We already know the Elixir is just a [Magic Mitigation Potion]. Miu gave me half of it, and the Ministry of Magic has investigated it.
We thought it was a revolutionary potion that could cure magic sickness, its material was so precious that only a few recovery magicians were known to be able to make it. It was a known potion that had existed in the past.
Perhaps [Yggdrasil] thinks the Aburages will contact them for more [Fake Elixirs]. That would be vicious. It’s [Yggdrasil]’s way of ripping them off so that not even their bone remains. Since it’s unauthorized, we can’t accuse of it being fake.
However, the Ministry of Magic must recognize this vicious business practice, and will soon be conducting an audit. Even if the corporation of [Yggdrasil] can’t be nullified, it should be possible to keep it quiet for a while.
However, if the [Elixir] turns out to be a fake, how does the son of the Aburage family get cured? A discerning person would immediately understand what happened since Miu has been in and out of the house.
Although I said I’d protect Miu, I, realistically speaking, is unlikely to be able to protect her. I’m a commoner with no power or resources. I’m prepared to give up my life to protect Miu from danger.
However, the determination to give one’s life alone isn’t enough to counter the cleverly laid schemes. Surely there must be someone who’s trying to surround Miu in other ways than by force.
The first of these is my former family, the Count Takano family. The Marquis Teijo is protecting her now with the backing of the Marquise of Teijo. But that’s shameful as a parent, and I wants to protect Miu. It’s my role and my wish to protect my beloved family.
My cute daughter believes that even if we tell her we’ll protect her, there is a possibility that we may not be able to protect her. I wasn’t sure if I could protect her, because Miu, with her pretty face, was frowning and looking anxious.
“Papa, Mama, I’ll be strong! I’ll protect everyone. I’ll find a Shishou. Please lend me 500 yen!”
My daughter, though very young, made a strong determination. Feeling the kind heart of Miu, who was healthy enough to try to protect us against the odds, I patted her on the head and told her to thank you, but I also had to do my best, which led me to make a strong decision.
When I imagine Miu clutching a 500 yen coin and trying to apprentice herself to a magician, I find myself loving her more and more for her healthiness.
There’s a way. At least a way to prevent noble’s tyranny, which commoners can’t prevent.
Now my wife and Miu are shopping for dinner. My wife said, “Let’s make bacon hamburger steak today.”, and Miu jumped up and down with a smile of joy, and they went to the supermarket together.
I had already talked to my wife, and she agreed that it was for Miu’s sake, even though she didn’t feel like it. So all that remained was my determination, but my will was firm.
I picked up my phone and called the Teijo family. After a few moments of ringing, the person on the other end answered.
“Yes, this is Teijo.”
It isn’t a direct call to the other party’s smartphone. I have Ouga-san’s smartphone phone number, but I wanted to make a formal request, so I called the house to make an appointment for a visit.
The other party was an old man with a familiar voice. He must be the butler of the imperial family.
“This is Takano.”
“This is Takano-sama. Thank you for your constant care.”
After politely repeating the greeting, they decided to tell each other what they wanted to talk about.
“I have a favor to ask of Teiho-san. I’d like to visit. Is there a date and time that would be convenient for you?”
“You wish to visit? Is there something wrong?”
It seems that Miu’s story hasn’t been conveyed yet. The guards protect her from afar, so they don’t seem to know that Miu has cured someone else’s magic disease.
