Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

“It’s a ceiling I do not know.”

Yeah, I know it. It’s my house. Even if it is the second time, I still have the same childish mind to use the same material. I mean, I wonder why I was sleeping on the bed in the house. I have no memory from being backstabbed by Armando.

“Oh …… my body is also neglected …… is it the influence of being hit?”

I tried to get up, but for some reason, strength did not go through. I tried to move my neck and the hair was somehow terrible.

“Naga’!? What? Why is my hair so long?”

Bangs extended from it and did not interfere with my field of view whether you were to cut it on a regular basis while I was asleep, it was like the hair of a woman.
Since I was able to move my arms, for the time being, I checked my body, but first of all my sons were safe.

“I got impatient thinking if it was a good development getting a woman’s body here.”

If that’s the case, why did my hair grow so long? It seems my body’s muscles have declined so I couldn’t get up, but it felt like the amount of magic I have is rising.
I hear the sound of clashing trays then tilt my neck to see the situation. Apparently, it seems a maid dropped a tray that was holding a towel. The maid’s eyes were looking at me as if she had seen a ghost.

“…… That?”

“…… Hah! Oh, madamーーーーーー!”

The maid returns and quickly picks up the trays then runs out the room shouting.

“I’m…… what?”

Ha ha! No way, am I seriously a ghost! ? Stop! Being a ghost is no good! Does this mean my body doesn’t work properly and is in a sleep paralysis!?
I was thinking such when I hear hectic footsteps.

“Alba!”

There was mother coming in with messy hair that was definitely a fur ball, on her shoulder, Aldi was riding.

” What happened? …… mother ……”

I was hugged with full force by mother before I could finish my words.Incidentally, Aldi was also clinging to me.

“The …… because you would not wake up …… I was so worried!”

My mother had tears in her eyes while letting out sobs occasionally. I sympathized hearing those words.
Was I stabbed by Armando and became unconscious? The adrenaline left then I felt a sense of fear, something disappeared when I went to help Fram, father would not live comfortably. …… because his son was hurt.
I also hug mother while I reflect on my thoughtless behavior.  (EN: Okay…)

“I’m sorry Mother …… did I worry Aldi too? I’m sorry.”

“Really! Even when I spoke with telepathy there was no answer! I was so worried!”

Aldi is angry! With that expression, she swatted my head. It was imprudent to look at this situation like this, but I was also a little happy realizing I’m this loved.

“Over the past three years I was worried and Mercurio couldn’t concentrate on his work.”

Oh, so I was sleeping for three years.Yeah, my hair extended and my body didn’t move…… for three years!?

“Hey, please wait a minute! I was sleeping for three years!?”

I did not hide my surprise since I slept for three years. When I was kidnapped by Armando, I was 5-years-old, now I’m 8-years-old. Ah! It’s also past the magic school entry!
Thinking of such an incoherent fact, I breathe in.

“Yeah. I called a lot of healing art masters and got the wound healed, but even after that, you did not open your eyes. We wanted some of your hair to have evidence of you living, I cut your bangs since it would disturb you.”

…… but to do such a thing, I felt that the hair had grown a little too much considering only three years had pa.s.sed. I was not a woman but a man, the length it has reached this feat in three years so the speed of growth is fast.
Well, there’s no conclusive evidence because I didn’t test it.

“Even so, I was surprised. I wonder why your hair had grown very early? The length of your hair grows in proportion to your magic power …… hair magic?”

Mother came waving one topic after another trying to fill in the three years. Rather magic to hair. I do not feel like anything like this was written in my previous life. If so, the feeling of my magic power increasing was true.
I try raising the question of why my magic went up.

“Does magic go up in a critical condition?”

“Well, I never heard of such a thing at least. There are some people who cut off their arm then healed it with magic looking for a method though.”

That means I am special? Haha, I don’t think I’m the sa ○ ya’s person who powered up every time I died right!? My tail did not grow.

“Somehow, I smell Wilderness from Alba.”

Aldi who was clinging to me while I was thinking of the reason says such a thing. Certainly, Wilderness-sama is reliable …… Well, okay. She is a G.o.ddess of the earth.

“Well maybe because Wilderness-sama had protected you, Alba did not die and smells like Wilderness-sama.”

Mother says such a thing to Aldi. I was protected by Wilderness. For some reason, it just made my want to make it different and vigorously argue about it, I did not know why I had such a feeling but I decided to close it off in my mind.

“Come on, Alba! Let’s do the grand celebration of your return today! I have to tell Mercurio as soon as possible! Practice to move because you didn’t move for three years! Also, you put your body in the bath later!”

Mother clapped her hand and ran away hurriedly. After that, I was able to clean my body thanks to being lifted by the attendant, now I had a comb to the back of my hair. I was going to cut my hair at first, but the moment I did, I was attacked by a feeling that my magic had slightly decreased so I left it alone.
Once I cut my hair, the growing magic power decreased. Though I still have a disastrous appearance. That said, there was the obstacle of it extending to my feet so I should make a waist cut.
It felt like a ton of magic was wasted, but I want to believe that it was my imagination.

Even so, the hair I had cut off seemed to have collected magic and was usable, so I put in a bottle to save it for later.
This is still good because it’s red hair, but if it was black hair, it would be slightly scary.

After that, I heard from Aldi that I fainted when mother called me.
Armando seems to have escaped and was still not found. Fram had come during every longer-term vacation of the magic school.
The magic school has the long-term vacation as a fundamental unless you had permission from the teacher, you could not go out of school was what Fram said. By the way, Fram had visited for about an hour each time during summer vacation before I woke up.

The organization “savior” or something seems to be deep-rooted-ish, father and mother had gone crazy and crushed branches for three years, but those were only the tail of a lizard so they could not find an important clue. I mean, those two have been crushing them casually which make them seem too strong.
They are a harmonious couple so they don’t quarrel, but I became a little scared when I wondered what were to happen if they did quarrel.

Seven hours have pa.s.sed around the time I had woke up and it was roughly noon, I was taken to the dining room by with a hug. Still, even though this is a child’s body, it’s honestly embarra.s.sing.

“Alba A Aaaaa Aaaaa !!”

As soon as I entered the dining room, Aldi rolled down from the impact and I was lifted up by father so she protested against the father.

“Good! This is really good!”

Father’s crying distorted his handsome face into what Luffy keeps. Aldi was also angry when she saw my situation and patted father’s head. (EN: That Luffy cry from One Piece.)

“I’m sorry … I’m sorry to cause you to worry.”

“No, it’s good ……! Certainly, you acted recklessly, but you’re still alive. With that alone, I’m so happy!”

I apologize to father who was shaking his head and hugged me again while I was sitting on a chair. I’m happy that I was blessed with such good parents and friends. When father and I were excited from our reunion, the door at the back was slammed wide open.

“Is it true that Alba-san had made a recovery!?”

Everyone who was in the dining room had their lines of sight aimed towards the wide open door, she grew a little bigger, but it was Fram, standing behind her was a dandy uncle with a kaiser beard.
I mean, what was it that Fram just called me?

“Oh! Alba-san! It’s true that you have recovered!”

Fram with a big smile had come and clung together with father. However, she seems better today. Well, it’s impossible to be unreasonable when I’ve been asleep for three years. Really, who is this person? Isn’t the character to different?
Where did the super overbearing daughter who couldn’t read the air go?

“I, I wanted to apologize to you so much. …… I wasn’t too familiar with the earth attribute and you. Besides I ……really am sorry to Alba-san who helped me yet I gave you a  haughty manner.”

” H-hey, please wait a second …… What’s with the Alba-san?”

“Alba-san is of course the benefactor who saved my life so I would naturally honor you. Three years ago I was a stupid child who did not know anything.”

Well, she is still a child. With such a tsukkomi in my heart, Fram continues.

“Regardless of danger, Alba-san had helped me when I was held hostage even though I was rude to you and you could have deserted me. I really thank you.”

“I also say thank you.”

The earlier dandy kaiser uncle came talk. Who? The dandy uncle read  my facial expression then bowed and gave a self-introduction.

“I was late to tell my name. I am the father of Fram. Hein Arubetto. I had let this let in this child be indulged when growing up . Three years ago she must have been very annoying and at the same time tomboyish, thank you for helping my daughter.”

Hein lowers his head deeply again while saying so.

“Well, please raise your head. That time, I … my body had been freely moving, …… in the end too.”

“Still, you trying to help my daughter does not change any fact to me. In the future, I pledge that I will help you with full-force with any troubles you have. Although I have this sharp face, I am still a merchant with a pretty high position.”

Oh, I see. So that’s why Fram at the time was so insolent. Now it’s a modest level looking at someone else.

“Yes yes, stand there and continue to talk! We’ll have trouble if there’s a bunch of cold dishes! I would eat now before it’s too late!”

When mother speaks, ⌊Pampanga⌉, slapping her hand, everyone went back to their seats.
That day was raised till late at night while I listened to the story about the school that happened over three years. My meal was one that was good for digestion since it was the first in three years. I was wondering how I got nutrition while I was sleeping, but apparently healing magic maintains the life so they regularly used it. Such a thing was like a life-support system on Earth.

Oh, by the way, I had to enjoy the shame play of my mother feeding me because I could barely move my body. No way, I did not think I would get baby play in this year.

(AN: Just to be sure, the plans were made this way for Fram in the beginning.
It can’t be helped to be called chiyorin when you were too self-confident.
The author’s romance experience is small so it couldn’t be helped.
The difficult subtleties of love

was fixed when pointed out in a portion of comments.)

Woo, that took me 3 1/2 hours, is this considered short, medium, or long now…?
