My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~-Chapter 218: Peaceful Night Stroll

I walked along the night sands with the two Dragon Kings.

There was no opportunity for me to find this out because I spent my time fishing yesterday but…

「Out this way the night breeze is really nice. The sound of the water makes it even better.」

「n, you’re right. The lake at night is, really peaceful.」

Hesty agreed as the wind lightly blew across us.

During the day there were plenty of fish and people swimming around so only at night were you able to experience this peacefulness.

We enjoyed it as we walked.

「……….」

I realized that Karen had been staring at my face.

「Hm? Is there something on my face?」

I was a bit worried so I asked. She blushed a bit and opened her mouth.

「No, umm, I was just thinking I’m really glad that you’re around.」

「……what the heck are you saying all of a sudden Karen?」

I hadn’t even done anything just now and she said something so filled with praise…I didn’t feel like I could just accept it.

「Ahh, I mean…sorry. I was just letting my magic go free without holding it down. Even doing that you didn’t flinch and just walked as if nothing was happening. I’m grateful to have someone that can do that with me.」

「What? You were letting your magic gush out?」

「Yes. Hesty knew that too right?」

Karen asked and Hesty responded with a small nod.

「n, it was quite strong so, all the animals ran away.」

「…….seriously? I had no idea….」

I said and Karen couldn’t help but give a small smile.

「Fufu, well it’s not especially strong by your standards Daichi…..but it is at a level that if I don’t hold it down it’ll scare the creatures around me. Especially humans, they feel it strongly based on the difference between our species.」

Karen said while gazing out into the sky. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Her face looked kind of lonely.

「That’s why when we let our power out and they can resist and accept it…it’s close to a feeling of yearning or admiration. Daichi you are the actualization of this concept. I couldn’t be more grateful.」

Somehow Karen and I had transitioned to having a heart-to-heart talk.

「For me I didn’t have the sensation of resisting and accepting it…however I have had it in the physical sense I suppose.」

In fact I remember now that with Hesty and Ramiyuros I had to catch them both…

「…….I see. But for us Dragon Kings it is a joyful thing nonetheless. I’m a bit jealous that Hesty gets to remain by your side.」

「Well either way I’d say we’re about equal. You’ve done things for me and taught me. It’s a mutual thing. I’d like us to be able to talk normally from now on.」

「Yes….thank you for your understanding.」

and so Karen and I had a rare serious conversation while walking along the beach when…

「nnnhmm?」

Hesty let out a noise and tripped.

「What’s up Hesty?」

It wasn’t like her to be clumsy.

「n, I just got a little sleepy. Also, something changed beneath, my feet.」

She said and I looked to see something white buried beneath the sand.

「What is this?」

It was a long white cone shaped thing.

「Ahh, it’s probably the fang of a creature that lives around here.」

「Fumu fumu…….from the size of the fang it must be pretty huge…」

Maybe I should choose this as my next fishing spot.

However, from the looks of it my fishing rod might not be up to the task of catching this beast…I might have to revise it.

「Anyways, we should be heading back soon.」

I said. Hesty seemed sleepy as her eyes began to slowly shut.

「I suppose you’re right. Ah, it’s about time for Princess Athena’s evening snack so why don’t you join us Daichi?」

「n? Well……I guess so. I was going to eat the snack Sakura made so I might as well eat it with everyone.」

I could eat while remodeling my fishing rod after all.

So I returned to Athena’s cottage with Karen.
