(The next privilage is only 3 koin)
Arthur thought for a while and replied, "After that, I will restrict your father, you don't mind, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm also planning to make him retire, doing nothing else but at home or walking around."
"Oh, isn't that a bit too cruel, your father is still quite young, he might get stressed if he doesn't do anything of value."
Humans are like that, although some of them can retire early, most still choose to continue working in the end.
"This kind of misfortune proves that his time is up," Amanda replied, glancing back. "You know, if I hadn't met you and understood magic, there's no doubt that we would have been destroyed. And our destruction could have been something very terrible because we fell from a very high place. We would have been like tigers who became mice -- the monkeys who hated us would have made us prefer death to life."
Amanda's words sound exaggerated, but in cases where humans have no compassion left, such things are indeed possible.
What makes rich people commit suicide after bankruptcy is sometimes not because they cannot accept the fact that they will live as poor people, but due to the disruption that comes with their bankruptcy.
When they arrived upstairs, Riccardo asked, "Amanda, what do you want to talk about?"
He looked at Amanda's back.
Actually he himself felt very strange because he was sure there was a difference between Amanda now and normally. A difference that he couldn't see, but his instincts confidently told him that it was there.
And when he glanced at Bella who was standing behind, he suddenly felt the same from her.
Amanda turned around, looking at her father's face. She didn't say anything but her hand moved, grabbing her father's hand.
"Eh?" Riccardo was stunned and further stunned as he found Amanda's grip on his hand becoming stronger and stronger.
"What are you doing?" Before he could say anything, Lillian who was standing at the side spoke first.
Amanda still didn't answer, she glanced at Bella, signaling her to take care of the woman.
Bella, who had wanted to beat her up from the start, jumped up, pointing her long foot at her face.
Whether it was Lillian or Riccardo, both were surprised by how high Bella jumped.
Of course, she could jump much higher than any other magus on par with her due to the innate advantage generated by her wind magic.
BANG!
Her foot landed perfectly on Lillian's face.
However, Bella still had some rationality. As Lillian's body was about to fall, she steered her towards the sofa.
The woman sat right on that sofa as if she had just jumped.
Instantly afterward, her skin turned deathly pale.
"Y-you, you, daughter of a whore, h-how dare you?" Her wide-open eyes were filled with the fire of anger. She seemed to want to stand up and lunge towards Bella, but the woman's foot that was now on her chest were really very strong, she couldn't even push it away.
Seeing that the woman he loved was needed like that, Riccardo immediately shouted loudly. "Bella, who taught you to do that, quickly get rid of your foot!"
He wanted to move to push Bella away, but found he was unable to move.
"What?" His mouth open, he tried to shake his hands but also failed.
"Stop struggling, dad! You're too weak for me," Amanda said.
After saying that, she pulled the man's hand and dropped him on another sofa.
"What the hell?" Riccardo, who was already too confused, couldn't say anything else.
"Dear, please!" Amanda said to Arthur.
The latter pointed his hand towards Riccardo.
Right after that, a white light appeared from his hand then went to Riccardo's body and enveloped him.
"What?" Riccardo opened his mouth very wide, staring at the light that enveloped his and Arthur's body with disbelief.
"Magic..." Lillian, who wanted to scold Bella again, failed to do so because she saw the light.
Arthur looked into her eyes which gave a look similar to Riccardo's.
However, he thought there was a slight difference between the disbelief in her eyes and the disbelief in Riccardo's eyes.
The former was more like she couldn't believe that she was seeing something that she had seen but she thought she wouldn't see it anywhere else or in anyone else but in the first place.
Arthur had no doubt that the woman had seen magic before.
"Hmph, you know magic, right?" Amanda said. "Right, how could you not know considering you used it on my father."
"What?" Riccardo seemed destined to have a day where he was surprised time and time again.
Meanwhile, Amanda continued, "here, we're all magus, so there's no point in lying!"
After saying that, Amanda pointed her hand forward and displayed her Spiritual Energy.
The shock of seeing magic from others and from his daughter was naturally very different for Riccardo. This time, he even rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong, dad? Don't you want to believe what you saw?" Bella also acted. She released the wind from her whole body.
"Right now, there is magic in your body," Amanda continued.
"And it's magic that keeps you obsessing over this woman to the point where your brain doesn't function anymore."
Right after she said that, Arthur's fingers moved and something came out of Riccardo's body.
It was a pink light, spherical in shape, not very big, but its presence felt very clear even though you didn't see it directly.
"This, what is this?" Riccardo said spontaneously.
Of course, Lillian was more surprised. Her skin was changing colors, sometimes red, sometimes purple, and even almost green.
However, after that, she suddenly opened her mouth.
From her expression, one could guess that she wanted to scream out loud.
"Don't think about it!" Bella moved quickly. She dropped her body beside her before grabbing her mouth and covering it.
"Mmmmm!!!" In the end, only indistinct sounds came out of the woman's mouth.
She could do nothing but stare at Bella with eyes full of hatred.
If she somehow had a chance for revenge, it wouldn't be strange if she tore Bella's body apart.
On the other hand, Arthur grabbed the pink light, and then made an observation.
"This is interesting," he said in a low voice.
He said that because what he saw was a rare type of magic.
