77 – Taming Danya

The station you see in front of you.

Danya wrapped the train’s wheels with vines.

— Wow!

The train stopped making a huge noise.

… I did it. I did it.

I went down a hill as long as a mountain peak without any derailment and stopped. Of course, most of it was Ian’s fault, but it still felt good.

“Nyaaa…”

At that sense of accomplishment, a Miao-like sigh that I was trying to hide came out. Still, it felt good.

Are there people who have already heard the news?

The place below was noisy with employees who had come out of the platform. After a few words with Ian, Schwab went down.

It was probably a good thing for Danya.

More than that, I wanted to enjoy this feeling right now.

The harsh wind that passed by as we went down the endless downhill,

I watched them struggle to get on the train as soon as there was a curve, and I even laughed out loud when I saw Ian, whose face had turned into charcoal soot in the midst of all the hardships.

It was hard, but it was so much fun.

It was the first time I had this much fun since I entered Liechten alone.

‘… If I had given up on becoming a wizard like I had decided to do right before I met Ian, I wouldn’t have experienced something like this.’

Danya gave up lowering the corners of her mouth that kept rising.

Then he sat down next to Ian and smiled.

“Are you having a hard time, Ian?”

“A little.”

“hehehe.”

Swish, swish.

Danya waved her legs in the air a few times and then opened her mouth.

“I have so much fun.”

“I see. I’m glad.”

Danya turned her head and looked at Ian’s face.

Ian’s face always shows little expression.

She always moves forward without hesitation, just with a confident look and somewhat tired eyes.

It is still the same today.

The confident eyes are still there, but the dark circles have become slightly darker.

The only difference is the degree to which the cheeks are blackened by soot.

Danya wanted to say this.

‘I’m glad to be a colleague with you.’

… Called.

But her soft lips did not part.

I am also so embarrassed. If nothing else, it was difficult to honestly express my good feelings. It was even more impossible if it was in front of Ian.

Instead, Danya cupped her hands together.

“Give me some dirt here.”

“…?”

Ian, who had a questioning expression, put the dirt in without saying anything.

The feel of moist soil. Danya closed her eyes.

‘If it’s hard to put into words…’ ‘With magic.’

She recalled the feelings she wanted to express, since that was also the reason she chose her path as a mage in the first place.

The refreshing and cold wind felt on the train sliding down the mountainside.

The magic used passionately to somehow stay on track and the pleasant feeling of helplessness.

Beautiful scenery with snowflakes all around.

I hope that you will heal even a little bit from your exhaustion.

In order to capture those emotions, I moved the mana of the grass full of life.

A sprout sprouted on the soil.

The stem grew and a flower bud appeared.

And then it blooms in full bloom.

“How do you feel?”

Danya smiled brightly as she held out the pure white flower to Ian.

3-Star mana recovery skill of a grass attribute wizard.

「Flowers for snow」

Considering that the 3-star rating itself is a support skill, it is not low at all. In addition, it is a mana recovery effect caused by summoned objects.

Unlike other recovery skills that usually ‘deliver’ the caster’s mana, it delivers the mana of the summoned object, so it can be said to be a mana recovery skill in the true sense of the word.

That is why “Snow Flower” Is a magic called the flower of grass attribute support skills.

Ian opened his mouth, hiding his surprise.

“…It’s pretty.”

“hehehe.”

Ian thought while looking at that natural smile.

As expected, Danya has talent.

It’s not just about talent. Her talent is so overwhelming that she is not inferior to the heroines.

If you ask me if I was actively behind her back like I would with a heroine, that’s not the case.

It only provided a small amount of help. I only once gave her an elixir and let her feel the refined grass element by her side as she wandered down the street with a mana sensitivity that was far too overwhelming for her skills.

With just such a small spark, Danya’s talent began to burn alone.

At this point, Ian was confident.

Danya is clearly a wizard who will be of great help in the upcoming scenario. He will grow up to be a wizard who can leave his mark on the continent and history.

However, we cannot be sure what will happen to her as she grows up.

Because Ian never saw her future.

In ‘Panta

If that is her fate, the danger of death may come often in the future.

Of course, her Ian will not let her die quietly.

If Daanya survived because of his possession, taking responsibility for her future is another form of karma. No, it will be a reward because you have gained a reliable companion.

‘… ‘Tame it.’

The interaction between beasts and humans was clearly defined as ‘taming.’ I guess that doesn’t just mean humans taming beasts. Perhaps humans are also becoming accustomed to beasts.

Ian placed his hand on Danya’s head.

“…?”

Danya opens her eyes and looks up.

As always, it doesn’t pop and bounce.

He just lowered his eyes and his ears blushed slightly.

So, Ian stroked her head gently.

Danya also closes her eyes and quietly enjoys the touch.

Her tail wagging happily.

Thanks to the “Snow Flower,” Her depleted mana and energy slowly begin to replenish.

I can’t believe I’ve been enjoying healing and relaxation for a while.

“Cadet Ian—!”

I heard Schwab calling.

After talking with senior staff under the train, including using hand and foot gestures, Lina and I seemed to have come to a conclusion.

Getwin, Vice President of the ‘Northern Mountain Train Operators Association’.

He rushed out after hearing that something was wrong with the train, and was astonished as he looked at the brief moving pictures that reporter Schwab had shown him.

“… Huh. I really wouldn’t have believed it if these photos weren’t there.”

Two or three wizards dragged the disabled train over the peak.

The one who played the main role was a wizard.

A young man with black hair walked over.

“Is that person…?”

“Yes.”

He immediately extended his hand towards Ian.

“This is Getwin, vice president of the Northern Mountains Train Operation Council.”

“Northern… Oh yes. Ian Black Angus.”

I can’t believe such a young wizard moved a train with its engine turned off all the way here.

There were even minor injuries among ordinary passengers, but no serious injuries.

“We would like to sincerely apologize for any unpleasant incident that occurred while using our train.”

Getwin bowed his head politely.

Something bigger could have happened, but the cadet in front of me stopped it.

Moreover, if you are a cadet at the Liechten Academy, there is a high possibility that you are a child of an existing family.

I knew that quick and sincere compensation was the most effective way to avoid making a big deal out of things.

Crab Twin held out the box in his hand to Ian.

“Is this…?”

“This is an advanced mana potion from the Alchemist Workshop. It is a reward for the magic power used by the four talented people.”

Four transparent bottles containing blue liquid.

Getwin continued speaking to Ian, who was examining one.

“We plan to provide separate compensation for the mental damage you have suffered… But we will guarantee compensation equivalent to ten times the price of the ticket for this journey. This can be discussed at a later date with any branch of the Northern Mountain Train Operators Association. We will take action to do so.”

“Yes. Please do so.”

“Also, we have prepared a special high-speed train to your destination, so we would appreciate it if you could trust and use it. It will arrive in about 10 minutes.”

“Yes.”

“Okay then.”

Getwin had a lot of work to do.

Getwin bowed his head and left.

Meanwhile.

Schwab spoke to Ian, who was looking at the mana potion with interest.

“Student Ian. No, it would be better to call him Ian from now on. His abilities are too great to be considered a student.”

“Just call me comfortably.”

“hahahaha! Then, Student Ian. As I said above on the train, Cadet Ian’s activities will not be published in an article yet. The article will be published first by emphasizing the danger of magic stones.”

“Thank you.”

“Is there any reason why you want to hide your activities?”

Originally, the train would have crashed and it should have been a big issue on the continent.

Even if Ian himself gets involved, there doesn’t seem to be any good results to be expected. In that case, it would be better if the future did not change.

… Of course, I can’t just confide in Schwab like this.

Then.

“Wouldn’t it be better to have only one issue at a time?”

Schwab’s eyes widened as he listened to Ian’s words.

“Oh, you know how to handle public opinion. Then I’ll send you a telegram. hahahahaha!”

He was just mistaken.

Well. There didn’t seem to be anything bad about it.

Duchies of Pierce.

Luxurious carriages began to arrive there one by one.

Nobles dressed up as a society get off, and family members greet them warmly.

Meanwhile.

The study of the head of the family, Richard Pierce.

A confidant was reporting in front of him.

“… They say it failed. They say the second plan wasn’t implemented because ‘that kid’ was on board.”

“The child isn’t dead, is he?”

“Yes. They say he came back alive by train. However, he had to faint to avoid suspicion, so I don’t know the process.”

“As expected, his insight seems to have been wrong. That child’s life is more important now. Chaos can occur at any time.”

“Then, of course, that child was found in a social church…”

— Slurp.

A short gesture from the door.

Their eyes turned at the same time.

Not all of them were at a low enough level to miss the long blue hair passing by.

“It looks like Sharon overheard. Do you think it would be a good idea to deal with it…?”

“It’s okay. He’s a broken child anyway.”

“So, didn’t he give you a sword recently? It seems like he came to his senses again after that.”

From noble mtl dot com

The head of the family laughed lowly at the confidant’s words.

“He tried to end his life without even knowing the subject.”

“Like that.”

“I just wait for the blood to ripen like its mother.”

The matriarch’s blue eyes glowed greedily.
