The second her chant ended, a gigantic magic circle appeared on the ground. Watching the immense blue blaze that erupted from it, Soma thought to himself how badly this father and daughter lacked communication ability. He shrugged.

Once silence returned to the yard, it was in the state it would have been in after a meteor impact. It was as if the ground had been scooped out by a giant spoon. The earth surrounding it had been rendered bare by the final spell. Soma had heard that it was possible to specify a target with that spell, but she must have chosen to simply add more power rather than waste any energy on that.

And the one who had created that scene was currently collapsed on the ground next to Soma. He’d been taught physical stamina and mana were fundamentally similar; using too much of either one would result in collapse. Therefore, Aina had ended up that way because she’d used too much mana. But her face showed no sense of accomplishment.

“You seem rather frustrated.”

“Of course I am... I was proud of how well I can use magic now. But it didn’t work on him at all.”

“Well, I am your father. I wouldn’t be worth my salt if I couldn’t withstand that,” Iori said as he walked up to them. Taking that ferocious attack hadn’t hurt him at all; apparently he really was all that.

“And...I’m also frustrated this went the way he wanted it to,” Aina said.

Soma observed her face. In fact, he saw not only frustration but a hint of relief. Maybe that in itself was adding to her frustration.

“Hmm... Isn’t that good, Iori? Your daughter seems to understand exactly how you feel.”

“Well... Yeah, I guess that’s a good thing.”

Iori seemed reluctant to state that outright; he must have been wishing his feelings hadn’t come across. Not out of ill intent—just because he was embarrassed. He was so awkward with people in so many ways.

“So does that conclude my role in this?”

“Guess so. Sorry you had to be involved.”

“I don’t particularly mind. But if you want to make it up to me, there is one thing I’d like to ask of you.”

“There is? Well, I do owe you, so I’ll do what I can, though I can’t promise anything...”

“It isn’t anything difficult. I’d simply like to stay one more night.”

“Another night...?”

Iori and Aina gave him confused looks. That was only natural, because he’d planned to leave today. But...

“Why? Did you think of something else to do?”

“I suppose I did. Not for me to do, however, but for Aina.”

“Me...?” Aina stared at him in confusion, seeming not to pick up on what he meant.

Soma sighed. “Do you really intend to leave in this state?”

“Oh... W-Well...” She averted her gaze, realizing only now that she’d had it pointed out to her.

Since she’d collapsed due to mana overuse, all she had to do was wait for it to recover, but that wouldn’t happen instantaneously.
