Chapter 27
A Gift from God
I made a mess in my independent training, and now I don’t know what I should do…
Can this mess be undone?
While I was busy thinking of various possibilities to solve the problem, suddenly there’s someone calling out to me.
“Lyra~ Are you sleeping?”
Clavis-nii’s voice!
Which means, Alt-nii is also coming home! He will definitely be able to help me make the ice disappear!!
After all, he is a [Void] user!!
“Clavis-nii, I’m at the second floor’s living room! Is Alt-nii with you?”
I can hear footsteps approaching the room I’m in.
“No, he had something he needed to do at school, and I didn’t want to accompany him anyway, so he asked me to go back first and to play with you!”
…what a bad timing, Alt-nii!!
Oh, right, both Alt-nii and Clavis-nii were finally admitted to special class!
(Actually, Alt-nii half-forced Clavis-nii to accompany him to study and such… Alt-nii is dead set on making Clavis his aide, eh?
Also… Clavis-nii seems to be quite smart that he can also get into the special class, through my brother’s enforcement—or that he received one hell of Alt-nii’s pestering and tutoring?)
…Let’s get back at the current situation. Clavis-nii’s footsteps are getting closer.
“Uh, uhm, Clavis-nii, wait a second, don’t come here—“
But my warning comes too late.
Clavis-nii finally climbed up all the stairs, and now he’s standing frozen in front of me, looking at the room in his confusion.
“Uh, uhm, this…”
I… feel awkward looking at his confused expression. He notices that I’m the source of this ice mess, and he looks at me, worried on what to do.
“Can… you help me… Clavis-nii?” I smiled awkwardly.
“…Uhhhhh… My attribute is [Neutral], so…”
“…”
“…”
We are both standing still, face-to-face, looking at each other’s face, with puzzled expression.
“L, let’s move the ice into the trash bin!” He suggested.
“But, what about the table, the glass, and other things that are covered in ice?”
“…”
We can definitely wait for it to melt by itself or melt until Altaire or Mom comes home, but the frozen big objects are the major contributor to the mess. Yup, definitely.
After the long silence…
“…I will bring in a wooden torch and we shall thaw them…?” He suggested, again.
“What if we start a fire and burn the whole house, instead?”
“…”
Uuuh, I appreciate his worries and his earnest thinking to help me, but… we are both stuck!
His tail is not wagging, it’s completely stiff. Both of his ears are also standing. If I’m not wrong, it’s the sign that he’s also nervous.
Our expressions clearly stated this: ‘What do we do?’
“Wait for them to naturally thaw….?” He asked.
“It… might take quite a while, as they won’t thaw quickly in room temperature. Not to mention, winter is approaching so the air is colder—and… if it thaws naturally, it might create a mess of water…?”
I gave him my thoughts about his suggestion—which I have thought before he even mentioned it.
“…”
Finally, the long silence dragged on and on…
***
Perhaps wondering what was going on with the silence, Niina decided to go upstairs to take a look.
“Clavis? You’re here? Why are you and Lyra-sama being so quiet? Huh-“
She stopped talking when she saw what a mess we’re in.
Then, as soon as she realized what’s going on, her expression turned to be a dreadful expression.
“Forgive my rudeness, but… Lyra-sama?! What on earth did you do…?!”
I smiled as wide as I can, as a response.
Normal maids or workers would risk their chances of being fired if they were to say the remarks that she said just now—if they were working in normal nobles’ house. Yes, my family’s noble house can’t be categorized as normal. Unlike the typically stiff attitude the maids and workers of other houses have—in order to prevent anything from going bad that would lead them to stop working or considered to insult the nobility—the workers in my current house are really, really friendly, just like part of my family.
So, of course my response would turn out to be as friendly, and I would obey her as she’s older than me. Okay, responding by honestly admitting your mistakes is not an easy feat to do.
“Uhm, I was just practicing my magic… independently… and… I forgot I haven’t learned how to thaw them myself… I… can’t control my own magic… yet?”
I ended my sentence with a question mark because I wasn’t very sure of what I thought of.
Now, there are one human and two beastmen standing still in silence, wondering what to do to get out of the mess.
“Me, Chloe, and Vince… all of us naturally couldn’t thaw the magical ice… we had to resort to the traditional way of thawing ice, I guess? We have no choice but to clean up the mess afterwards,” Niina finally decided the course of action we’d take, rather than waiting and let more time to waste.
“S, sorry, Niina…,” I can’t do anything but to apologize for troubling her.
“It’s alright… Maybe next time you can practice outside, Lyra-sama…?” She smiled to me, trying to give her suggestion which sounds good, to be honest.
I nodded.
Yes, that’s definitely a nice idea.
“I will go down and prepare the wooden torch.” Niina then went downstairs.
But, shortly after that…
“I am finally homeeee~ Lyra, Clavis, let’s play~!”
Oh my, big brotherrrrrr!!
Big brotherrrr, thou art the most wondrous brother ever! Thanks for coming to my rescue!
“Alt-niiiiiiiiiiii—!” I quickly ran downstairs to welcome my big brother with open arms.
***
“Ahahahaa, ahahahaha! That’s so funny, Lyraaa!!” Alt-nii couldn’t stop laughing at my miscalculation after he helped to dispell all my ice magic to the void.
“Uuuuhh, I didn’t think that we could feel so disconnected to our magical creation like that! I thought I could just cancel the magic just fine!” I pouted.
“Haha, guess you should ask Mom to teach you that, so you can do independent studies at ease~,” he patted my head.
“I will still do the independent training outside from now on, though!”
Yes, no more indoor independent training until I am good enough at controlling magic!
In the end, Alt-nii and Niina told the whole story to Mom and Dad, who just laughed at what happened.
After that, I told them the full details of my findings regarding my affinities. Nobody is uttering anything, I wonder why?
Their bodies just went stiff, as if somebody paralyzed them. Altaire’s jaws slightly opened, and his eyes are widening. Mom and Dad’s eyes are now vacant—they seem to be looking far away in the distance, but I wonder what are they looking at?
Without waiting, I proceeded to ask them the important question.
“Why won’t everyone try the other magic elements one by one to find out their full affinity before the age of 6, if we can already use all of them just fine?”
At my question, finally, Mom snapped out of it and responded.
“That’s because not everyone can really control the other magic just fine, Lyra… Some may exert too much energy to try the other affinity that they are not strong with, and trying such uncertainties may cause serious damage to them… And that’s why, Lyra, I never give you any encouragement to try them one by one, and told you to focus on training your strong magic as we have practiced.”
Geh—so that can happen?!
I shuddered, thinking about what might happen if I failed in my attempt…
So, the reason everyone else was completely silent while I elaborated the details of my findings was because… they are having the cold sweat on my experiment?!
Mom sighed and shook her head lightly. Her glance now shows a hint of nostalgia, as if remembering something she’d experienced from her past.
“I won’t scold you for that, all that matters is that you’re safe. …oh well, I did the same thing as you did when I was a child, so that’s why I can’t be angry at you. But please, don’t do it next time…,” Mom explained.
“T, thanks, Mom, and I will consult you every time I want to do something new… but I think you should have warned me…”
“The book I gave you already had a warning written about it, and I told you to read the book carefully… Ah, you are just like me, aren’t you? You skipped on the boring first page of training precautions, right? The first few points only detailed unimportant thing such as ‘don’t try any damaging magic to other people’, ‘don’t try burning your house’, ‘pray for safety’, and such, right?”
…Mom, you know me so well.
Yes, yes, I skipped the page after reading those tedious details!
“…like mother, like daughter,” Dad says, in his amazement.
“…Perhaps I should try writing a better magic guide book for children like you and me…,” Mom started to consider on writing a magic guide book on her own.
Yes, I fully support your decision, Mom!
“Ah, but Lyra, she didn’t experience any kind of difficulty in experimenting with her magic like that… could it be…?” Dad said.
“Hmm?”
What is it, Dad?
“Ooh, you’re right, Cyan!” Mom agreed.
Wait, wait, what are you talking about?
“That means, your mana capacity is high enough, Lyra!” Alt-nii answered my question.
“I, is that so?!” I was surprised at the sudden revelation.
So, that’s the parameter?
“Yes, Lyra. We can be sure that your mana capacity will be superior than the majority… So, that’s a good thing,” Mom smiled.
Is that so?
That’s great~!
“…wait a second, you said that you suspected yourself of being capable to use all magic within normal to strong range, with the exception of [Void]?!” Mom just realized that part of my explanation.
“Uhhh, I am not sure, but it doesn’t take me so long to chant them and I’m not too tired… It’s stated that using weak affinity magic would surely cause anyone to get tired more, right? So…”
“Really? Wow, I can’t wait to find out the results of your second test~!”
Mom clapped her hands—her expression shows that of an excitement and nervousness at the same time. Dad shook his head lightly.
“That’s absurd, nobody could have–…”
Dad seemed to murmur something, but I couldn’t really hear what he’s saying clearly. He must be talking to himself. Mom looks very happy and excited to hear my answer, and Dad’s exasperated expression hasn’t left his face just yet. I hope my family members won’t develop any muscle spasm on their faces… I think they had quite the same expression on their faces during when I developed my fluent reading skills at the age of 3, and how fluent my speaking got after that point.
Anyway… does that mean that being able to use all magic (except Void) without any weak affinity is really a rare thing to have?
I mean, I didn’t pay any attention to magic and magic users in the past, I was way too consumed on swordmanships, so…
But when I think back on how my parents described their affinities and how they were considered great for their multiple affinities—I think I can safely deduct that what I found about my magical abilities is quite awesome?
Oooh, finally, is this the cheat God granted to me? I didn’t ask for it, but…
If it is, then, it is a nice gift to be born with!
…only if I don’t end up being too overpowered, though. Being overpowered equals to having lots of troubles!
But wait a second. I think I forgot to ask something else. Something… oh, right!
“Mom, I didn’t chant the spell in Spraec, but I managed to cast my magic just fine. Can we actually do that?”
“Wait, you, what?” Mom is suddenly taken aback.
Her excitement seems to be increasing at a higher rate, but Mom… your face… you don’t have any muscle spasm, right? I’m worried that she would wrinkle quickly because of me, that’s such a waste for a beauty like Mom. Her doll-like features would disappear if she were to contract chronic muscle spasm—or wait, would she catch a nerve disease because of the spasms?
“Huh, but how…?” Dad is also surprised.
“Eh, Lyra can do it already, all on her own?” Alt-nii also looked at me in awe.
“…Yes?”
…I need some explanation, please.
What exactly happened? How is it possible? Has nobody else managed to accomplish such a feat?
Mom inhaled a deep, deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She then opened her mouth. Yup, your daughter is ready for the explanation!
“I have told you about voiced incantation and voiceless incantation—basically chanted magic and chantless one, right?”
“Yes, Mom.”
“There are another two variations whose levels are in the middle of them. One is half incantation, in which someone can cast their magic with only reciting the shortened version of the incantation. The second variation is [Nonspraec Incantation]—that you just managed to do.”
…Wait, I have ever heard of half incantation before in my previous life, I think.
I am not sure, as I only knew people who were capable of chanted magic back then. Nah, I didn’t even pay any attention to whatever they chanted as I had no knowledge about it at all.
[Nonspraec Incantation]… such thing exists?
“It’s great for people who can’t remember Spraec language!” I said in excitement.
“Yes, but it still costs more mana. Therefore, I want you to try that after we have practiced a bit more, or after your second test’s done…,” Mom explained.
From her eyes, I can sense that she’s thinking, ‘I can’t believe you tried it out without even knowing it.’ Seems like I would be trained to do either Nonspraec Incantation or Half Incantation—or both in the future.
“Yes, Lyra~ The secret of [Nonspraec Incantation] is to imagine the effect of the magic plus the magic circle~ The more vivid they are, the better~,” Alt-nii chimed in.
…Magic circle? It’s still my habit to recall the image of them whenever I practiced. Though the version that I remembered may not be the detailed version of the circle itself. Still, …I fulfilled the requirements without even knowing.
“Altaire’s [Void] element is rare and there are not a lot of spells known, so he’s mastered the use of Nonspraec Incantation,” Mom explained.
“Yup~!” Alt-nii smiled happily.
Ah, understandable. With many of its spells remain unknown, Altaire would have more benefits if he were to produce his magic without the needs to know the spells.
“Then… Lyra’s mana… can we safely assume that it’s more than 600, already?” Dad asked.
Huh?
How did it come to that?
“Yes,” Mom answered.
How did you come up with an exact number?!
“Eh, how do you know?” I asked, unable to wait for them anymore. Well, they have a habit of hanging me in the dark for the things that they might be familiar with, and would explain later on, after realizing that I have no clue about it.
“Well, only those with more than 600 mana capacity are capable of using half incantation and Nonspraec incantation, Lyra,” Mom said.
“Heee, there is such a parameter based on mana capacity?!”
That is… cool!
“Yes. And only those with more than 800 mana capacity are capable of voiceless incantation,” Mom explained further.
Which means, Mom is definitely capable of voiceless incantation. No wonder, as expected as the Head of Magician. However…
I stared at Alt-nii.
Alt-nii, then, he can easily…?
The moment our eyes met, somehow, Alt-nii seemed to understand what I was thinking about. Could it be that I am too easy to read? I would like to consider myself not easy to read, though…
“Ah, voiceless incantation is extremely tiring and hard to use, you know? I’m still in practice,” Alt-nii puffed his cheek.
“Haha, yes. Being able to use it doesn’t mean that they will be able to easily do so, Lyra. Practice is still needed, even more so to accomplish difficult things,” Mom patted Alt-nii’s head.
“But still, Lyra’s discovered a lot of things in just a day. That’s awesome,” Dad lifted my body and put me on his lap. He then hugged me from behind and patted my head.
It’s… warm.
“What to do, our children are both so talented…,” Dad questioned it.
“We are very lucky, indeed. I think we need to thank the God more, haha,” Mom answered.
“Ah yeah, then… let’s close our eyes for a little while, clap our hands, and thanks Aion-sama for this amazing discovery,” Dad said.
…Yes, such a custom is normal. We can’t claim ourselves as religious people, but we still believe in our God, after all. We have routinely prayed and gone to churches at times, but that’s all part of the routine we have. It’s not something special.
Aion-sama is the name of the god that most humans would worship. It is said that Aion-sama is the creator of all life, the beginning of everything—the Alpha—and is often portrayed with the image of a pure, innocent child.
Alt-nii closed his eyes in an instant and clapped his hands.
“Aion-sama, thank you for your blessings!”
“Aion-sama, thanks for the blessings!”
Everyone recited it together.
In my past life, I was raised to put my faith in Aion-sama, too.
…The god that I have met doesn’t seem to be Aion-sama, yes, I can’t picture that little light as a being as divine and as gentle as Aion-sama is portrayed to be.
Aion-sama—our God’s gender is unspecified—some may address Aion-sama with ‘he’, while some may address Aion-sama with ‘she’.
Aion-sama can predict the future or see the possibilities of the future the world would have, and thus, Aion-sama will always pick the best route for the greater good, of the whole nature and all living beings. Aion-sama never made any mistake. Sometimes, we call His plan as [Fate].
…yup, that light—the one claiming itself to be god—is definitely not Aion-sama. It can be a different deity all along, or part of Aion-sama’s governance…?
Did that meeting with the light-sama shake my faith to Aion-sama? …I believe that Aion-sama is out there, probably scolding the little light that I met—yup, that god I met, he is probably Aion-sama’s subordinate or what… As he meddled with someone’s life and death—which should fall under Aion-sama’s jurisdiction.
But anyway, I should also thank the god that forced me to reincarnate, since I believe it might be the little gift I received from the tiny spectre of light that I can still remember up until now.
I thought I didn’t ask for anything, though.
Thanks for the present, God who is in the form of the tiny spectre of light!
Unbeknownst to them, a spectre of light is flying outside the window, then landed on the nearest tree’s branch.
Before long, the light disappeared and a transparant figure of a mischievous child could be seen in the place where the light was formerly at, smiling while observing the family who are giving their utmost gratitude towards their god.
“You’re all very welcome.”
Oh Damn, God is a stalker! Seems it can’t read minds though, or we may be seeing a prank on Lyra soon, ohohoho.
I suppose this chapter cuts half-chant out as cheat material too. . . So. . . general magical talent then? It is a quality cheat, but there’s still bloodline and it being a fairly standard cheat, so I doubt it would be used here. I wanna see how close I can get before we know what it is. That half-chant does make me think of something like ‘command-line’ (vain attempt at computer jargon), but that just seems to be how magic works. merr.
Then again, there is something to be said for tried and true.
You almost got that right XD
Her cheat is within her magic power, how she deducted that she has 5 strong affinities and other 6 normal affinities, with only 1 affinity she can’t use~
It is basically an abnormality as the result is too good, but we will find out about whether her guess is true or not when she turns 6!
Some of the chants that I’ve already used don’t seem to be that long, but there should be some longer chants, which is why half-chant is quite useful~
Thanks for reading by the way 😀
That sounds like she has special magic sense or feels magic diffently from the norm. Muhuhu, Perhaps some magical pioneering lies in her future?
I also just noticed that Lyra’s portrait is subtly (kinda) different on Webnovel/Qidian. And now that I’m giving it a closer look I’m curious about the adorable snowball on her shoulder.
Born to a magician family, she has to be good at magic sooner or later anyway, but it would be nice to see her getting surprised and excited as she was unable to use magic at all in her previous life XD
…and that, is what I call, my short term memory loss! I really forgot to update the portraits or thumbnails in this site after I posted the updates, lol! And wow, you are lurking in webnovel as well? XD Yup, I’ve been trying to expand the reader base there, as well~!
Now I gotta edit those portraits lol
I only made my webnovel accout a few days ago after following a link to ImperfectLuck’s ‘Weakest Wind Mage.’ I decided to have a little look around the site yesterday and noticed ‘Forced Reincarnation’ was also there, so added it to library and scrolled through all the updates to fill it in ’cause I’m reading here and not there. Might vote there though, and post a review once I’ve thought about it more.
Ah, that explains XD
And yes, this novel is more up-to-date here and not there, plus the parting is a bit different.
Thank you, by the way ^^
PS: I’ve updated all of Lyra’s portraits here, lol! How could I forget that after posting yesterday’s updates X”D
Thank you for the chapter. Given Lyra’s magic potential and the foreshadowing of being able to enhance your magic potential till the age of six. It does make me wonder when she’ll learn/practice dark magic.
Kind of anticipating if the family’s current warmth will end up with her trying the dark magic out. Or if some sort of negative event will make her start practicing/utilizing her strongest talent.
Time will tell, also with god stalking her it wouldn’t surprise me for the right catalyst to just insert itself at some point. After all I can’t imagine a being like that giving a huge talent only to see it be squandered but I could be wrong.
That being said I enjoyed the hijinks and the clarification of the chant system. Also good to know more about Alt’s specialties as well. The fact Lyra also has talented parents and a sibling fleshes things out better than the traditional mc you find more often that not. Who everyone else in the story is just used as a measuring stick.
Thanks for reading, too! I am glad you are enjoying my story as always ^^
I am also looking forward for when Lyra would be willing to master and train her dark magic. But for now, she is still traumatized and wants to focus more on the other magic affinities she has. As for what will cause her to start practicing dark magic for real, you’re right, only time will tell!
Being born talented with talented family members will surely be viewed as normal, I mean, people will think that her family is incredibly talented XD
However, with God stalking her around, surely Lyra holds some importance or significance. And again, only time will tell, especially with how slow-paced this story is. Hopefully you will continue to enjoy the story ^^
Thanks for the chapter.
Oh Lyra, you need to learn self-control. Still, I’m glad that Lyra has such loving parents who even look at their own faults in the matter. Truly, she is blessed in this life.
Thanks for the new chapter!
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you very much for translating this great story!
Especially so for leaving it easy to read and not obstructing the Reader mode with ridiculous ‘copy preventing measures’ like certain other sites.
??? Translating? An original?
Ah, this is an original but seems like qaz is mistaking it for translation xD as in ROW, they host lots of translated novels plus originals, it might get mixed up (well I also translate novels here lol). But thanks for the compliment xD
Also, thanks for reading and I hope you will continue to look forward to it ^^
Oh, I totally forgot it’s original after taking a break after few starting chapters.
I congratulate you as a good author then. But it also makes me fear for the future of the story as ‘survival rate’ of good original novels is pitifully low.
As it’s stated that you accept translation suggestions, what do you think of picking up https://www.novelupdates.com/series/akuyaku-tensei-dakedo-doushite-kou-natta/ ? It’s somewhat similar in genre. No idea of availability of raws though.
No problem, and thanks ^^
I hope you will continue to enjoy my story… and well, it’s quite hard for original novels to thrive compared to translated novels, somehow (people’s prejudice? Stigma? Idk), but hopefully I can write something good until the end.
I know that series! The last chapter updated was a month ago, and following the rules of taking a translation over, I should wait for it to have at least 3 months of absency–but I personally know the owner of its current translation site, so I know he’s going to continue the project XD thanks for the suggestion, though!
Well, translated novels have two advantages: 1) if someone put effort in translating it then it shouldn’t be absolutely bad, 2) usually original is already completed or has plenty of chapters so danger of author randomly dropping it is less than original novels.
As for ‘3 months rule’ I completely disagree with it. It should be deserved by original translator who started the novel or released hundreds of chapters, but not someone who put out 2 chapters and suddenly owns it for 3 months. Something like “number of released chapters days, capped at 3 months” is more adequate in my opinion.
If you know current translator can you ask him directly? 2 chapters previous month and nothing since then doesn’t seem like much love towards the novel. The site is down too (at least for me) right now. That novel is seriously good and deserves way better treatment.
That’s right. Also, we have to add that translated novels have the advantage of being registered in NovelUpdates, while originals won’t.
As far as I know, the current translation site has uploaded more than 2–if not more than 5 chapters already. Last time I asked, they’re focusing on other series but will still work on Akuya, although I don’t know when. Also, the site’s up and all good, just checked. Hope it’s already up in your place XD
NovelUpdates is also related to (1) as we definitely don’t want it to be flooded with ‘original novels’ that interest absolutely no one but their author.
That “focusing on other series but will still work on” (yeah, maybe, if you are lucky) also irritates me a lot and should have no 3 months takeover protection. Why are you holding it if you are not really committed?
Not to only write about offtopic some thoughts about your novel:
I think it lacks some kind of ‘global continuity’. For example ‘noble lady behavior’ is not something that you can turn on/off – only tune it to more/less formal situations (meeting king/friends). What she suddenly KO’ed the teachers (and even parents!) with her perfect conduct looks out of place. It can be ok for calculating/deceiving type of heroine but she is not.
For repetition indirect display is way better: you don’t repeat that “she was trained to be perfect queen” – you show that others think “wow, despite her age she looks like a perfect queen” again and again.
Yup, that’s right XD
And well, I can’t really comment much on how the translator community works regarding taking the hiatus translation rule, or change the rule as most people are still inclined to that “3 months rule”… But some translators might be too preoccupied with IRL stuffs but are still committed to working on the projects–while some simply take too many to handle.
And thanks for your feedback on my novel! I think I failed to show or tell that some of the test aspects are not connected to the daily conduct that could be observed, which managed to surprise everyone. I will definitely note that so I can improve future chapters ^^ Hope you will continue to enjoy the read!
I think you are also greatly understate how different heroine is from other children. Unless reincarnator specially consistently puts effort to hide himself even with medium mental degradation he dominates earlier years. And this heroine is too easygoing/trusting to her new family to implement that consistent hiding. What she has elder brother only works against her as no matter how much of a genius he is she is still better. Way better. Caring and even remotely smart parents will notice that. Bakaoya excuse can work for the first child but not for the second after the genius first one.
Elder brother is also not quite consistent with the settings. Unless he is also a reincarnator. Yeah, it will also solve some of problems stated above but do you really want to pull that?
I think relation between reincarnator and genius is well shown here: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/about-the-reckless-girl-who-kept-challenging-a-reborn-man-like-me/ And that is of ‘absolutely-non-genius’ reincarnator.
Alright, let me have some clarification, then XD
The heroine still has some trust issues, even towards her own parents (and that trust issue was portrayed at times), but she has started opening up more to them as time went by. The parents also noticed that and discussed about it–portrayed in chapter 24 that they already have a hunch that heroine might be a reincarnated person. But they haven’t delved deeper into it or asked the heroine directly.
Also, the big brother is indeed a clever child, but not that genius–as he failed to get into Special Class at first, and had to spend a year to study hard for the next year’s exams, when he finally managed to get into Special Class. He is only gifted with his sharp wits and a very powerful magic ability (one mythical magic affinity).
Still, thanks for the feedback and reminder! And thanks for the story recommendation! I’ve only read some parts of it (and haven’t finished it yet as it’s quite long), but I can say that it’s a good oneshot that I will enjoy reading in my leisure time ^^
Of course we saw that meeting and trust issues but they don’t look quite enough? First of all heroin distrust usually looks like “I won’t tell you” not “I’ll hide it well so no one ever notice”. Next, really doting parents found out something is seriously strange only after 4 years and direct info? Yeah… Maybe more those .5 chapters?
For the brother I find it really strange to never show off his magic achievements to his sister before the ‘proper date’. Especially such fun magic as transformation. Parents told him not to? Yeah, definitely will listen to them… (One thing is to keep family secret from others and another is from his sister.)
Just my rant what the story lacks to be more logical.
Yeah, maybe I should have included occasional parents’ doubts that also occurred before that, but as I skipped the details on her first 3 years of life, guess I also missed the chance with it… The same thing can also be said with the case of her brother.
Thanks for all your feedback~! Hopefully I could write the future chapters to be even better, and if I ever tried to revise old chapters, I’ll make sure to keep those points in mind! ^^
just caught up with the story…thanks for writing and posting it!
keep up the good work!
Thank you for reading, I hope you will continue to enjoy this story ^^
