"What? Wait, no? Wait, wait! Go away, go away, go away!"
In the split second that Sam panicked, a pillar of fire scorched the ceiling.
"Get out of here!"
Waving his arms and shouting, he manages to extinguish the flames.
"What is this, isn't this just a little fire?"
I never imagined that a pillar of fire would shoot out from my arm, and my heart is racing.
I look up at the ceiling, which is discolored black, but not burning.
I pat my chest, glad that it did not catch fire.
"...... what am I going to tell Daphne about this?"
Daphne, who is in and out of her room several times a day, cannot hide the devastation.
If I were to tell him the truth, he would know that I had magic.
"It would be troublesome if the people at home knew. ...... But I wonder if Daphne would keep quiet if I asked her not to tell?"
Daphne, an intellectual beauty with glasses who has a serious and severe atmosphere, has a surprisingly sweet side.
She was also aware of the fact that she was adoring me.
She is optimistic that maybe she will not tell him that she can do magic.
"But I'm sure she'll be angry that I tried magic by myself..."
I decided to be prepared for at least one fist bump.
"Daphne will get mad at me later, but for now, it's magic. The fact that a pillar of fire was created by the magic of just lighting a fire means that there must be a certain amount of magic power, right? I don't think it's too little."
It is also possible that it is not well controlled.
Sam did not expect to be able to use magic just once.
That's why he has high expectations.
At any rate, the magic is there.
The magic worked.
All that remains is to learn magic and how well I can use it.
There are a certain number of people who can use rudimentary magic if they have enough magic power.
From there, it is important to find out what you are good at, such as each attribute of offensive magic, recovery magic, auxiliary magic, and defensive magic.
On the one hand, I have high expectations, but on the other hand, I am worried.
There are some people who have magical power but do not have the ability to use magic.
It is said that there are some people who have been found to have magical power, but they could not use magic well after trying various methods.
"Botchana! What's wrong with the burning smell!"
"--oh."
While I was lost in thought, Daphne, who smelled the burning ceiling, rushed into the room.
（Oh no!)
She looked at the bed with the flickering grimoire, then looked up and shifted her gaze to the ceiling.
"......Sam, you little shit."
"...... Yes."
"Please explain."
"...... yes."
Sam decided to be honest about what had happened.
That he had tried magic.
He succeeded, but he failed to light the fire and there was a pillar of fire.
When Sam finished explaining, he asked Daphne quietly and she put her hand on her chin as if she was thinking about something.
"Excuse me, Daphne?"
"Botchan, I'm going to ask you a question, but you're going to have to answer me properly."
"Uh-huh."
"The magic you used was rudimentary, rudimentary fire-lighting magic, wasn't it?"
"Yes, but what about it?"
"No, I can only guess, but unless you have a very good reason, the magic won't go out of control just by casting a spell.
"Yes, but..."
For example, don't you remember pouring in unusual magical power?
"No. I just said, "Light the fire."
"...... I see. Maybe, Bocchanma's magic power is..."
Daphne begins to mumble something, but Sam is puzzled.
He wonders if there is something wrong.
What he is more afraid of is that his father will report it.
"Oh, you know what, Daphne?"
"Yes. What is it?"
"I don't want you to tell your father about the magic."
"Botchana?"
"Please. Don't tell anyone that I can do magic!"
"Are you sure about ......? Maybe they'll treat you differently."
I know what Daphne means.
People with magic are rare.
Just having magic power is valuable.
Even more so if you're a nobleman.
It's also a good way to find a marriage partner.
Many noblemen want a man of magic in their family.
"Yes. Still, keep quiet, please."
"...... Okay. I won't tell the master if you don't want me to."
"Thank you, Daphne!"
"But, sir!"
Daphne raised her voice and looked at Sam.
There was a sternness in her gaze that made his spine stiffen.
"Please don't do anything dangerous again."
"I'm sorry."
"I'm not saying that you shouldn't try magic in the future, but I don't want you to get into trouble if you start a fire, so fire is forbidden."
"Yeah. Okay."
"If you use magic in the house, someone might notice, so it's better to do it somewhere hidden."
"Yes. I'll do that.
"Lastly, please don't make me worry."
Daphne said and hugged Sam gently.
（Oh, I see.)
I forgot that I am a nine-year-old boy.
It was natural that I would worry him if I did anything reckless.
"I'm sorry, Daphne. I won't do anything dangerous anymore."
"You have my word, Sammo."
"Yes."
"Then no, thank you."
Daphne slowly pulls away from Sam.
Her kindness and warmth are now so far away that I feel a little sadness.
"I don't know if I can keep this from you if it's just me, so let me talk to Derrick."
"Yeah. Derrick can do it."
That sweet old butler would not blow Sam's secret.
Daphne felt the same way, which is why she was willing to reveal Sam's magic to Derrick.
"I'll do that, then. Now, I'm going to clean the ceiling, so please keep quiet in my room, Sam.
"Oh, yeah, sorry."
It's okay, it's what maids do. --Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.
Daphne stopped Sam as he was about to leave the room with the grimoire in his arms to do as he was told.
"Yeah?"
Sam looked back and saw Daphne smiling kindly at him.
"Congratulations on your magic! Daphne is truly happy for you."
"Thank you."
The heartfelt congratulations naturally brought a smile to Sam's face.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"What? Wait, no? Wait, wait! Go away, go away, go away!"
In the split second that Sam panicked, a pillar of fire scorched the ceiling.
