Volume 3 Chapter 27 Learning Holy Magic
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
On the first morning in our new home, after a little cuddling in bed with Nana, I gathered with the 5 beautiful girls living in this mansion for breakfast in the dining room.
I handed out the Goddess’s Bracelet to everyone yesterday.
This bracelet has the ‘Age Control’ ability, but if you want to grow older than your current appearance, you don’t have to wear it.
”…Rob, you look a bit tired. Are you okay?”
”Yeah… you have some dark circles under your eyes, you know?”
Charl and Yuno asked with worried looks, tilting their heads.
”I-I’m fine… Just like always, I’m doing great… haha.”
Even though I should have the ‘Fatigue Immunity’ ability, I managed to smile back with a worn-out face.
In contrast, Nana looked radiant and was smiling with great satisfaction.
After glancing back and forth between me and Nana, Charl blushed a little and started to speak.
”Um, what should Alice and I do starting today? Since Rob is our master, we want you to decide.”
Charl asked nervously about what we should do from today onward.
”I want to stay by Sir Rob’s side as much as possible. If anything happens, I want to be your sword and shield to protect you.”
Alice looked straight at me and expressed her wish.
I thought about how to respond to Charl and Alice.
”Umm… I think I’ll have you two focus on gathering information at the guild and leveling up in the dungeon… I’ll join you on my days off from school, so for now, please take care of that.”
I turned to the two of them and smiled.
”The dungeon… Is it not okay for me to go to school like Rob and Nanna?”
Charl asked me with a slightly sad expression.
”I thought about that too, but… I want you to quickly be able to use the Saint Lv.10 skill, so I think the dungeon is the best place… There, you won’t have to worry about being attacked by the Demon King… Once that’s done, we can learn magic together at school.”
I explained my thoughts to Charl.
”Ah… I see. Got it! I’ll learn it right away! Alice, let’s do our best together again~♪.”
”Yes, that’s right. …I heard that the war with the demon race is still going on in the northern plains. Let’s hurry and get stronger!”
The two of them nodded at each other with determination.
I watched them while moving on to the next topic.
”By the way, starting today, I want everyone to take turns sleeping in the same bed with me at night… I found out yesterday that by cuddling while sleeping, I can take you to the world of a goddess named Tiseris in my dreams… Of course, if you have any objections, feel free to refuse.”
After hearing my words, everyone thought for a moment before speaking up.
”Then, I guess I’ll be last… That’s too bad.”
Nana said with a slightly sad look, her eyebrows drooping.
”I understand… Then I’ll spend tonight with you. Leave it to me to satisfy Sir Rob’s desires!”
Alice said without hesitation, her cheeks turning red.
”Me too! If I can sleep with Sir Rob, I don’t mind being taken to such a strange world!”
Yuno seems okay with sleeping with me, just like Alice.
”I’m interested in training with the goddess, so I’ll sleep with Sir Rob too… um, it’s just sleeping together, right?”
Luna seems fine with it, but she looks worried about her purity.
”Oh, yeah. It’s really just cuddling and sleeping, so don’t worry.”
I smiled at Luna as I answered.
”Well, if that’s the case, I’m okay with sleeping with Rob too… but no naughty stuff yet!”
Finally, Charl agreed to sleep with me too.
”Ah, of course. Thank you, Charl.”
I smiled at Charl and thanked her.
”U-um, you’re welcome.”
Charl replied, her face turning red.
”I’ll decide the order. Today it’s Charl, and tomorrow it’ll be Alice, Yuno, Luna, and Nana. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime, now or later.”
I said that and ended the discussion.

In the vast grounds of the Royal Capital Lorensia magic Academy, I was trying to activate a holy magic at level 10.
”‘Divine End!’”
*Wham! Boommm!!*
A pillar of divine white light fell from the sky and struck the ground, creating a huge crater.
This magic deals ultimate holy attribute damage to a single enemy. Also, it prevents the enemy’s next action… well, it probably won’t work on the Demon King.
”Wow… this is impressive.”
Headmaster Ferris looks at my magic with admiration.
”Uh, um…”
Nana and Yuno stare at my magic in shock.
On the first day, I’ve already mastered all the holy magic. I wonder if they think I don’t need the magic academy anymore.
…No, that’s not true at all.
”Why do you both look so sad?”
I asked the two of them, who were looking at me with worried expressions.
”Because… big brother, you’re going to the dungeon starting tomorrow, right?”
”As expected of Sir Rob… but, it’s just so sudden…”
Nana and Yuno both give me lonely looks.
All magic starts with drawing a Magic Circle. Then, by offering ten times the usual amount of Magic Power and chanting the necessary words, you can finally activate that magic.
Once you can visualize the Magic Circle in your mind, you won’t need to draw it anymore, and you can activate it with the original cost. If you fully understand how to chant for the Magic Circle, you can even skip that step, shortening the time it takes to activate the magic.
I thought special magic like holy magic would take time even with lower-level magic, but since this magic is registered as a job skill in Yggrasil, if I can use the first Magic Circle to understand the magic’s image and its cost, it seems I can master it right away.
”Ahaha, it’s okay. I’ve decided that I won’t quit until Nana graduates. …And there are 2 things I want to learn next, so I’ll work hard on those.”
One of the things I want to learn is ‘Rainbow Magic.’
To do that, I first need to awaken the ‘Rainbow Attribute.’
(Well, I wonder if I can do it…?)
I will channel the 7 attributes into my hands──
Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, and Healing. I successfully infused all of them.
If I can gather and mix them all together at once, it will be complete.
On my palm, the Magic Power of the Rainbow Attribute sparkled in 7 colors.
”Wow, amazing! Now I can learn Rainbow Magic with you, big brother!”
Nana jumped at me, super excited and happy.
”Phew… I also need to work harder!”
Yuno refocused her energy and resumed her training in Holy Magic.
”By the way, what’s the other thing you want to learn, Rob?”
The headmaster asked me.
”The other one is the Earth Magic ‘Twentieth Rank Crystal Blade.’ …After finishing my match with the headmaster, I thought I wanted to be able to use it too,”
I replied to the headmaster with a smile.
”Oh, I see! That’s a good one! Did Rob want to try dual-wielding too?”
”I’m interested in dual-wielding, but… the main reason is that being able to draw a sword quickly when I don’t have one in hand would be really useful.”
”I see… Alright! I’ll make sure to teach you both Rainbow Magic and Crystal Blade properly!”
The headmaster said happily.

Lunchtime.
We had come to the vast cafeteria of Lorensia magic Academy.
At this time, almost all the students in the academy gather in the cafeteria.
Because of that, it was extremely crowded, and a lively buzz filled the air.
In the midst of all this, I was wondering what to eat for lunch today.
(Hmm… It’s my first time at the school cafeteria. I guess I should start with curry.)
Looking at the menu, there were many types of curry, like Orc Curry, Minotaur Curry, and Bird Curry. You can choose the spiciness, but it seems you can’t choose the toppings. The curry you pick comes with chunks of meat and crunchy vegetables.
”Are you having Orc Curry, big brother? I’ll have the same!~♪.”
Nana chose Orc Curry to match me.
”I’ll have Orc… no, I’ll go with Bird Curry. The other curries don’t really suit my taste…”
It seems Yuno also chose curry… but she could have picked whatever she liked instead of matching me.
After getting our meals, I decided to sit with Nana and Yuno at their usual spot.
However, the cafeteria was filled with gazes directed at us.
I felt like I was sitting on a bed of needles.
(I, I can’t take this… The two of them don’t seem to mind…)
In the midst of this, Nana blushed and lifted a piece of Orc meat coated in curry with her spoon, offering it to me.
”Brother Rob, please open your mouth!~♡.”
(Wait… are we doing this here!?)
I was shocked by Nana’s action, my eyes wide open, but the gazes around us intensified, and everyone was holding their breath, watching closely.
It felt like everyone was holding their breath in anticipation.
(I can’t refuse here…)
I reluctantly opened my mouth.
”Ah, aah… mmm… gulp… gulp… gulp…”
I somehow finished eating, but the next moment, Yuno attacked.
”Well, now it’s my turn! Ah, aah, please do it!~♡.”
Yuno scooped up some rice mixed with curry on a spoon and offered it to me. Her hand was shaking a little, and it looked like it would spill if I didn’t eat quickly.
(Yuno, you too!?)
As the gazes around us grew stronger, I opened my mouth despite the cold sweat running down my back.
”Ah, aah… chomp… munch munch… gulp… gulp…”
After finally finishing, I wanted to escape the situation where everyone was watching me, so I spoke up.
”I’m sorry… but here, ‘aah’ is banned. The stares are really tough.”
”Hehe… I think we should just show off. But I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, so I’ll hold back.”
Nana replied with a confident smile.
”That’s right… as long as it’s not here, it’s okay!~♪.”
Yuno agreed with a smile too. …It was really tough to be “aah”-ed by a princess, so I was relieved.
And so, my days of training at the magic academy began.
