Chapter 15 – Aura

In the village, there is an plaza for the children to play around

Even if I said plaza, there is nothing special on it It’s just a wide plain and flat ground

The children in the village have already gathered there, under this fine weather… they are h spirit

There are several kids around 5 to 7 years old gathered in plaza, their number is 8 in total

When they noticed Miru andand come over here

[Gerald, I heard you collapsed?]

[You seeh, let’s play with us!]

[Ge,gerald, is Sierra-chan is not co toad, and I want to present it to her…]

[… You seem to feel better now]

Everyone gathered and several of them said their own piece And also, you, don’t approach Sierra, because she is scared of toad

Her onii-chan won’t permit it

[Everyone, it’s been awhile Thank you for worrying about ht now]

While answering theic power into my eyes and [observe] everyone

Then as expected, I can see colorfultheir bodies It seems there are an individual differences froht, there are so aether, and soht that it blinds me

However, the one with the brightest aether is still Miru, who is standing next on ht as mine

[Haa? Who’s worried about you! I was only wondering if you’re alright or not!]

[If you’re already fine, let’s play!]

[B-by the way, Gerald, you won’t infect Sierra-chan, right? I-i-if Sierra-chan collapse next time, I, I, I will, I will…]

[…Fuu I am fine already, see?]

Why are there two people here acting like tsundere? And you, shut-up with Sierra-chan I won’t per her as her onii-chan

[Don’t listen to the!]

When Miru held the ball over her head,

[Ooooh!]

shout of joy arises

By the way, that ball was handmade by Miru She rolled the clothes, paper scraps, and the leaves together, coiled it around and fixed the, it was really well-made

Thanks to her achieveh she was still five years old Besides, with her height and physical abilities, she was able to compete with the older childrens

The other five years old in this village is only me, therefore it’s not bad for me to be frequently treated as a pair because of that

[Well then, let’s have a match to celebrate my return I’ll show you who’s boss, Miru]

[What did you say! I won’t lose! I will be the one who knock down Gerald!]

After Miru and I started it, we scattered around the plaza

The usual ga

Here is the rule and explanation about our [usual game]

At the east and west corner of plaza, there is a log standing there respectively

On top of the logs, which are taller than us, a [circle] is drawn at the side, that will serve as the goal

We will get a point if the ball hit the circle, and the two teams compete for points

If you kick the ball and hit the circle, the teaet 3 points, if you use your head it’ll be 2 points, and if you hit it by throith hands, it’ll score 1 point

Even though there is no foul play, after the ball is thrown, the two teaame is called Jump Ball

In addition, one isn’t allowed to hit or kick another player You can carry the ball by hand, kick it, andit to your sto team

To put it bluntly, it felt kinda like soccer, rugby, and basketball being mixed into one

We split our teaht side respectively The teah one or two people trade places sometimes

And then, Miru and I will never be on the same teaht because of that we have a deep sense of rivalry

[… Nevertheless]

When the ga

I’m able to see the opponent’s movement, more than usual

For example; when someone made a feint; when the opponent started to make suicide attack; when the ball was kicked or thrown

The aether fro to the direction that they will advance to, it cast a strong light, so I can very much 『understand』 their intention

Before, I can only 『sense』 their intention, but now, from the aether of the opponent, I can predict two steps ahead of their movement

… Is this 『Magic Perception』? Perhaps this is what they call 『Feel』 and 『Perceive』

[Here I go, Gerald!]

Miru is approaching while holding the ball Her aether is strengthening in flash

For a ht side But, her aether is swinging to my left side

However, I have yet to ht or left side I just stood there and waited for the right time

And then, Miru’s aether suddenly intensified By the time I noticed it, she already released the ball from her hand and prepared to kick

But, I begin toshot-- She pretends to run towards the right side, and shoot the ball towards the left side

I cut off the ball which was released froan to dash Miru’s foot kicked the empty sky

After I passed the ball to et

[hell yeah!]

There is shout of joy froic perception

This ability is awesoame, I can win by myself alone?
