Jikuu Mahou de Isekai to Chikyuu wo Ittarikitari Chapter 306 – Each one’s new step

Chapter 306 – Each one’s new step

I went home after fetching up Hilda, who was staying at Megumi-chan’s house, on the way home from work.

「Onii-chan, Hilda-chan, welcome home.」

「Welcome back.」

「「We’re home.」」

「We’ve been separated for a while, but the four of us have finally gathered. Thank you for your hard work, everyone.」

「No, thank you for your hard work, onii-chan.」

As we think back on the incident that has been resolved, we were finally able to take a breather.

「Come to think of it, onii-chan, what happened to the conquering of the tower of sunrise?」

「Ah, now that you’ve mentioned it, there was also that one, huh. I was able to conquer up to the 59th floor in the end and there’s only the 60th floor left.」

「Eh? Why did you come back when the goal was in front of you? By any chance, is onii-chan the type of person who stops just before the boss in an RPG?」

Well, it’s right on the money, but……

「That’s not it, this time’s event happened right when I was going to the 60th floor, so I came back home in a hurry.」

「I see. Well then, are we going to go to the 60th floor now?」

「No, let’s stop for now. Since there’s probably a boss, there’s no time as I’m worn out with work. Let’s go on Saturday with all preparations ready.」

「Understood, well then, it’s the Tower of Sunrise’s boss fight on Saturday, huh.」

Even as the plans on Saturday were decided, the four of us ate dinner together.

However, while eating dinner, Elena’s countenance is a little strange.

She seems somewhat down and lost in thought……

When we were drinking tea after the meal, I decided to ask Elena.

「Elena, you seem to be down, is something wrong?」

「No, um……Seiji-sama, I have something to say.」

「What is it? You don’t need to stand on ceremony.」

It’s rare for Elena to bring up a subject like this.

「I learned about it at the church, but in this world, there seem to be a lot of people suffering from injuries and diseases. Because of that, I’ve been thinking. Can’t I help healing those people using my magic?」

Hmmm, it’s a good thing that Elena is suggesting something she’d like to do independently.

However, there are various problems with this…..

「Elena, you know that magic doesn’t exist in this world, right?」

「Yes.」

「It would cause an uproar if Elena uses magic in public just like this time. I don’t want to cause too much uproar if possible.」

「B-, But……」

I understand Elena’s feelings as even I would like to do something.

However……

「Onii-chan, too, keeps acting violently in ninja form, right?」

Aya butted into the conversation.

「As for that, it can’t be helped because it was to solve the incident. Besides, it’s fine since I covered my face with a mask.」

「Then, isn’t it fine for Elena-chan to use magic if she wears a mask, too!?」

「Are you stupid? No one would believe a suspicious guy wearing a mask to do something like healing wounds and diseases for them, you know?」

「If a mask is no good, wouldn’t an omen1 mask be fine?」

「Omen mask?

What kind?」

「Ah, wait a minute.」

Aya took out an omen mask from her [Storage Bracelet].

「How about this?」

It was a Nezumi-Mouse2omen mask.

「You’re going to make Elena wear this?」

「Is it no good? I think it’s cute, though.」

Whoohoo, it is I, Nezumi-Mouse!

I will heal your injuries and diseases using recovery magic~!

Oops, I imagined something strange.

「Ah, I also have something similar.」

Elena, too, took out something from her [Storage Bracelet].

「It’s this.」

Elena wore the thing she had taken out and showed it to me.

It’s that.

It’s something like a masquerade mask.

However, it has something like a feather decoration; it looks very elegant and suits Elena.

Elena, who wore that mask, looks just like a [masked magical girl] or some such.

「It’s good! Onii-chan, this is fine, right? Right?」

「Seiji-sama, is this fine?」

Mmmm, what to do……

「I’ll give you one condition.」

「Condition?」

「Elena, you should acquire [Invisibility] magic. Then, I’ll say that it’s OK.」

「[Invisibility]? Alright, I’ll do my best to acquire it!」

If she were able to learn [Invisibility], she will be able to escape safely when push comes to shove.

It’s only limited during the day, but since Elena can’t acquire [Darkness Magic], it can’t be helped.

Now, how is she going to go about it……

「What about you, Hilda? Are you going to help Elena?」

「No, uhh……」

There are times when even Hilda would like to do something, huh?

「Hilda, by any chance, would you like to continue helping Megumi-chan?」

「Yes! I’d like to help Megumi-chan.」

They’ve already become close friends.

There seems to be no problem with regards to this.

「Alright, it’s fine.」

「Thank you very much!」

「And then, Hilda will become an idol, too!」

「Hilda, do your best.」

「Yes!!」

Elena and Hilda have found something they’d like to do, huh.

It’s a good thing.

「Aya, do you also have something you’d like to do?」

「Eh? Me?」

You don’t have!?

「Let me see, we will be having a tournament as a club activity this time, but can I go?」

「Hm? Tournament? What kind?」

「It’s a karate club so, of course, it’s a karate tournament.」

Karate tournament?

Aya is going to participate?

……Ugh, my head……

「You’re not going!!!」

「Why not!?」
