Chapter 31: The Struggle of Mariel

We are vastly outnumbered.

Normally, we are at a significant disadvantage, but they have the upper hand with just the two of them. Once again, I think my parents are amazing.

Why am I, their daughter, so clumsy if they are so good?

I wouldn’t have been able to use magic properly for the rest of my life if I hadn’t met Laseid.

But if I don’t join them soon, not only will I lose Okaa-sama but also Otoo-sama. If we are not careful, the entire family will go to the other side together.

I take a robe from a black-clad man lying around and put it on. and pull the hood over my head.

I doubt they’ll be fooled, but I don’t want my parents to see me using magic.

“[Infinite magic formula] deployed!”

I’ll have to adjust my magic so that it doesn’t hit my parents――.

“One thousand two hundred water bullets!”

Water bullets rain down on the men in black.

“Aah!”

“Aaahhh!!!!!”

One by one, the men fall. The bullets are not designed to kill; if they hit you, you will only faint. After all, they are vital living witnesses.

But we must exercise caution!

“Chain of commandment!”

Magic chains bind the men in black who are within range of the magical circle.

“Kyoo-ee!”

That’s Ruria’s voice. It appears that assistance is on its way.

When I learned that the meeting location had been changed, I instructed Blanc to deliver the letter to Bern.

This time, I’ve brought my little fluffy friends with me to the Crotalion Empire because Bern said I could.

“Mariel? You’re dressed strangely. No, but that magic…”

Okaa-sama is taken aback.

“You got the wrong person. My name is Setouchi, just a magical girl passing by. It seems that help has arrived, so I will leave you now.”

I quickly tried to turn around, but Okaa-sama caught me.

“Wait for a moment. I’d like to ask you a few questions.”

I guess my mother’s eyes couldn’t be deceived.

◇◇◇

Bern and the Crotalion Empire’s King’s Guard apprehend the men in black.

They are brought to the Crotalion Empire to be questioned.

“Marie, I’m glad you’re safe, and the Grand Duke and Duchess of Rozenstone are safe.”

“Thank you for your assistance, Crown Prince Bernhardt.”

“Nothing was done by me. It had already been taken care of by the time I arrived.”

Bern gives me a look.

“A magical girl named Setouchi, who was passing by, came by and helped us.”

I laughed.

“Magical Girl Setouchi? Isn’t that Marie’s magic? I’ve fought her in a magical battle before, so I know what she’s capable of.”

“What! Did you engage in a magical duel with Crown Prince Bernhardt?! When did this happen?

Okaa-sama is biting!

“When Marie was 5 years old… Mmmmnn?!”

I quickly shut Bern’s mouth, but it was too late.

“You’ve been doing magic for that long?! Rezerotta, isn’t my daughter brilliant?!”

“Yes. Most children begin learning magic around the age of six.

In contrast to Otoo-sama’s cheerful face, Okaa-sama’s forehead is covered with blue streaks.

After this, it was difficult to explain to my parents how I learned to use magic.
