Chapter 140: Met with Amemiya Kotomi
Translated by AmaLynne
“This is Kotomi’s room.”
Stopping in front of a room on the second floor of the mansion, Mizuki lightly knocks on the door.
“Kotomi? Are you awake?”
“Ah, onee-chan! I’m awake!”
When Mizuki spoke through the door, a bouncy and cheerful voice came back from inside.
(I’m glad that she seems to be in better spirits than I had expected.)
He can’t see her face yet, but at least she doesn’t seem to be in bad shape.
“I’m coming in. There is someone I want you to meet. I’m sure you’ll be delighted.”
“Hmm? I wonder who it is. Come in.”
“Well, let’s go inside.”
“Excuse me.”
The owner of the room invited them, so they went through the door and stepped inside.
Inside the room, there was a girl in a nightgown on the bed.
The curtains were open in the sunny room.
There is a large bed in the middle of the room filled with cute, girlish knick-knacks.
The girl was looking at us from the bed, a little bored.
(――This, really.)
Sam was surprised to see a girl with short-cut black hair and a vivacious-looking atmosphere.
He had heard that she was twelve years old, but she looked much younger, probably because she had been in bed for so long.
It was a pity that the vivacious-looking girl could not move freely.
But what impressed Sam most of all was the amount of magic power she possessed.
(Hey hey, this girl…must have a bigger magic power than me and Ur, right?)
Sam and her mentor, Ur, were both out of the ordinary in terms of their magical power.
Magic is not all about the amount of magic you can use, but it is not a matter of having a lot of it.
He has heard that the amount of magical power is something you are born with and does not change much.
Sam’s magic power did not increase dramatically from the time he first met Ur until now.
Still, thankfully, Sam is in good health and has a great deal of magical power without having it consume his body.
However, the girl’s magical power was greater than Sam’s.
(I see. This is why magic power is a burden on the body. It’s too much.)
“Uh, onee-chan? Who is this person?”
“Fufufu. I’m sure you’ll be surprised. He is the third seat of the court wizard and the most powerful wizard in the Skye Kingdom.”
“――C-Could it be Samuel Scheidt!?”
While Sam was surprised, the conversation between the sisters was going on.
Kotomi seemed surprised to hear Sam’s name, rolling her eyes.
Somehow, she also seemed pleased.
Sam smiled at the girl and introduced herself.
“Yes, I’m Samuel Scheidt. Nice to meet you, Kotomi-sama.”
“Nice to meet you, Samuel-sama! I am Amemiya Kotomi. I am 12 years old!”
The girl who greeted him with full of energy, it is hard to believe that her body is very much burdened with magic power.
Kurando said that her body seemed to have grown up and her body was adapting to the magic power, but to Sam’s eyes, it seemed that it would still take some time for the magic power to adjust to her body.
“Please, call me Sam.”
Sam continues to smile, hiding his heart.
“May I?”
“Of course.”
“T-Then, Sam-sama! Please call me Kotomi, too.”
“Well, that’s a bit…well, Kotomi-chan, is that okay?”
“I’m so glad!”
The girl is very nice.
If he had a younger sister, she might be like this, he thinks.
Since his brother, whose face he couldn’t even remember, wasn’t cute at all, he couldn’t help but feel that Kotomi was cute.
“Oh, I think I’ll call you Sam, too.”
“I would be happy if you could call me Sam. Since you are a friend of Lise-sama, I would appreciate it if you could be more friendly with me.”
“What’s with Lise-onee-chan?”
Kotomi tilted her head curiously at the mention of Lise’s name.
Speaking of which, we never mentioned it, Mizuki whispered to her sister.
“Sam is Lise’s fiancée.”
“Ehhh!!!?? Sam-sama is Liese-onee-chan fiancée?”
“Yes, I know she’s too good for me, but we’re engaged.”
“And he’s also engaged to the princess, Stella-sama.”
“And with the princess!?”
“Ahaha, somehow I found myself with two fiancées.”
“It’s amazing! It’s just as I expected from Sam-sama! The most powerful court wizard in the kingdom is no match indeed!”
“I don’t think wizards and engagements have much to do with each other.”
“It indeed has nothing to do with the engagement.? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Kotomi this excited.”
Mizuki was also happy to see her sister in such good health.
Sam was also honestly happy to see her so happy just by meeting with him.
“Good for you, you got to meet Sam, who’s all the buzz right now.”
“Yes! Sam is the man of the moment!”
“Hmm? What? Am I that much of a topic of conversation?”
“Yes! I can’t leave the house, but I know about you from the nanny’s stories and from the newspapers onee-chan buys for me!”
“Newspaper?”
He was astonished at the fact that he did not know.
He never thought he would be in the newspaper.
Kotomi told Sam that it was only natural.
“Of course! You killed that bastard Albert Frege in the blink of an eye, fought dragons, and made Günter Ignaz his wife! Even the newspapers won’t stop there!”
He was surprised to hear that the story was being made into a newspaper story, but more importantly, he heard from Kotomi that he could not miss it.
Sam, cannot help but correct the false story.
“Wait! Günther is not his wife! It’s bullshit!”
For once, he had to talk to the newspaper that had written the outright lie.
That’s exactly what Sam decided to do, even if it was by magic.
