Chapter 10
The little girl finally opened her eyes.
She slowly raises her body.
『O, ooo! S, she moves! Finally, she finally moveees!』
The ghost of the great sage shouts in excitement.
「……?」
She blankly tilts her head.
『Uoooooooooooo! Kyawaiiiiiii! What a lovely gestureeeeee!』
The great sage sheds tears and his voice resounds all over. Frankly speaking, he’s dangerous.
The little girl stares at him in wonder.
『That’s right, Mireille! I’m your Master ja! Saa, come and jump into my chest!』
By the way, Tira is looking at the great sage as on dirt. I can’t feel a speck of respect anymore.
It was at that moment.
The little girl suddenly removed her gaze from the great sage.
And then, with a big smile on her face,
「Papaa~」
She hugged――――me with such words.
「Yoshyosh, I’m your papa~」
「Nfuu」
When I pat her head, the little girl wriggles her body in happiness.
Then, with a wondering face, she points at the stunned great sage.
「Nee, papa, that Ojiichan, who? Why is he crying?」
『W…… hat, did, you……?』
The great sage opens his eyes in shock.
「Something sad probably happened to him. Nevertheless, you are so kind, Filia」
「Fufufu, Filia, admirable?」
「Yes, you are very admirable, Filia」
『Fi, Filia, ja to……?』
Right.
In fact, while completing the Magic Puppet, I also changed its intelligence.
I also named it at that time.
「Wai, what are you doing――――!?」
Tira attacks with her biggest tsukkomi yet.
「Sorry, Jiisan…… For this girl’s happiness, it would be better if she was my daughter than a daughter of a ghost」
Nop, I’m not a lolicon.
I really plan to take care of her as mine, you see?
『B, b, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You deceived meeee!』
The great sage yells out loudly.
Electricity vibrates in the air.
However, I say clearly without being shaken.
「You should already ascend. A mage of your level should understand how dangerous that spell is」
『A, are you preaching me even though you are just a kid!?』
「Yes. Although, Buddha may not accept prayers for a senile Jiisan who used a taboo spell for something like this」
『b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will kill you! I will kill youuuuu!』
「Right」
I chant a spell and instantly create a magic circle.
『Wha! T, this――is!?』
「As you can see, a purification magic」
『W, wait, I don’t want to disappear yet―――』
「Laters, Jiisan」
『――Curse youuuu!』
The great sage gets enveloped by the light from purification magic and disappears.
Nothing is left behind.
He has completely vanished.
「I, is it……
Tira timidly asks.
「Yes」
「Anyway, Karuna-san…… You are able to use purification magic……?」
「Un」
「Then, use it from the beginning please」
「You see, I wanted to see great sage’s angry face」
「What’s with this extremely cruel reason!?」
「Look, Filia. That person is your mama」
「Mama? …… Mamaa!」
The little girl Magic Puppet――Filia, tightly hugs Tira with a big smile.
「Wai, why do I have to be mother!?」
「Mama…… You are not Filia’s mama……?」
Filia receives a shock.
「U…… I, if you look at me like that……」
「Filia, doesn’t have mama……?」
Tira who looks down at Filia who is shedding tears,
「Uun, that’s not true. Filia-chan. I’m your mama」
She simply surrendered.
「Waa! Mama! Mama!」
Filia bounces up and down pyonpyon, expressing her joy with her whole body.
「This makes me and Tira a freshly married couple!」
「It’s an established fact―――!?」
My bride shouts in surprise.
Fu fu fu.
In fact, I have antic.i.p.ated this development since working out the strategy to defeat the great sage!
〈Pinnacle of Prediction〉is great.
I gently ask Filia.
「Filia, would you like a little sister or a little brother?」
「Want!」
She smiles innocently. So cute.
「I see~ You want~ Mama will make you one」
「What are you talking about!? I won’t!?」
「Mama, you won’t make one……?」
Filia falls silent.
Seeing that reaction, Tira「Uu」flinches.
「U, using child like that is really despicable!」
Tira shouts at me then sighs.
「Waa…… I shouted so much today, I got tired……」
「Certainly, the last boss was well versed in tsukkomi」
「More than half is your fault, though. Are you aware of that? Are you aware of that? You are, right?」
「Wai, stop poking my nostrils with your staff. That is used for magic. It’s not something you should use to arouse my nostrils with」
I have a feeling that Tira is gradually losing her modesty around me.
That means the distance between our hearts has shortened!
――Gogogogogogo.
「Kya」
Tira staggers at the sudden intense tremor.
Filia clings to my leg with a frightened expression.
「What?」
I examine with〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉-san.
…… tte, seriously?
This tower is apparently collapsing.
Probably because the great sage who was maintaining it has ascended.
「Tira, we are immediately getting out」
「U! W, wait a second please!」
「Tira?」
「I have to collect the great sage’s data! I have come this far only because of that!」
Tira starts collecting the doc.u.ments scattered around the room.
The tower is on the verge of collapsing.
And yet, Tira is desperately collecting the doc.u.ments.
「I can’t return to the elf village without this……!」
