Chapter 229 After Spell (2)
He knew what was coming at him and though he could have reacted to that… the good gentleman he just accepted the super painful punch directly at the gut as this dear witch of mine walked ahead, without any care for the old man.
And that one punch definitely was painful because she didn\'t just use her super high strength and strength enhancement, she used her [Old magic] and made a spell that specialized in increasing the \'pain\'.
That definitely was painful, and he deserved it.
Walking towards me, she hugged me warmly, and I hugged her back, not missing the beautiful silver chance.
Well, she was the best.
"You also agreed to be his work dog in the end..." she whispered as that and I had already accepted the \'things\' so I was just enjoying this hug.
"How could I leave my dear friend like that? Not that he got me for cheap. We got a place on the floating island. Isn\'t that amazing~?"
There was a smile on my face while saying that, and a chuckle escaped her rosy lips at those words.
"You are amazing~. It was the most satisfactory to see that expression on that old bastard\'s face.
I heard most things but, why this land? Definitely not only to make a house to play around with, right?
And you said we will stay there? I never agreed to that~." she smirked while saying that last one and… I smirked back.
"Okey then~. I will have to ask someone-" And even before I could finish that one, her grip around me tightened, almost choking me for a moment.
"You dare even say something like that? Besides, I\'m the only pretty girl, you know. You only have me, just like I only have you~.
Well... jokes aside, what more people did you say will join us in that house?
I know if it\'s you, that place won\'t be simple. Care to tell me where all this came from?"
She was almost threatening me to tell who these unknown people I was talking about were, and, well, even I don\'t know who they will be just yet.
"I don\'t know everything just yet but, it will be a fun place.
Let\'s talk about that later. Grandpa, and you all... I can see you. Stop pretending."
I said that last part loudly, and the four old ones chuckled while looking at us.
They were back... and this was the moment, the grand sorcerer, the archmage Merlin knew… he had fucked up.
"H-hello, everyone. Isn\'t this a marvelous afternoon~?" The great sorcerer asked with sweat covering his forehead and the four of them just smiled at him \'calmly\'.
If I were in his shoes, I would have just run away after this chat and land deal but, there was still the \'test\' left.
So he had no choice but to just stay here and accept whatever punishment they give them.
And yes, he was the strongest in this room, and even after combining everyone\'s strength in this room, we might not be able to kill him.
But, one thing was clear: if the four old ones wanted, heavily injuring him would be plausible, and well, torture was the option if he didn\'t retaliate.
The smile on their faces was scary, and even Rein and I feared that smile as we separated and looked at them.
\'A hug should be no big deal\' was what she might have thought, but it was a big thing for me and in their eyes as well.
Well, she wasn\'t blushing at the very least so we were ok.
The only one not okay here was him, as he just stood by the table and looked at their \'calm smiles\' with his twitching smile that knew he won\'t be getting out of that one unscratched.
He knew there will be punishment for invading this house, closing it off from the outside world, and even using these lethal spells on them.
And all this to talk with me about those normal things.
He has suffered quite a bit after giving me all the rights of that land but, now, he will have much more to handle.
But first of all, he had to return everyone else back to their senses.
Dad had subconsciously figured out things were wrong, so he had started doing the spell break on his own, and from the distinct look in his eyes, it was clear he was also close.
But before he could do that on his own, this young-looking old man disabled the spell, and now, everyone was back, looking around with confusion-filled eyes at what just happened.
Anna also looked around in confusion.
She was with me, then she was now in her sister Carla\'s lap all of a sudden.
Everyone was confused, and after looking at the older ones who were looking at the perpetrator of this whole mess, an angry smile appeared on their faces, too.
Anna was looking around in confusion and after a while, she caught up with what had just happened and shouted while looking at him, "Bad mister! You did something bad! You deserve punishment!"
Her voice was genuine, and everyone agreed to what she said with a sharp nod.
The four grandparents, and both of us, just smiled warmly at her.
"Yes~! Our little Anna is right as always~! Let\'s go, sir Merlin. We should punish him in a different room.
You all should finish lunch. We will finish this one quickly~."
This was grandpa and he said that with quite a pleasing smile.
Same with my grandmother and her grandparents.
They were all happy as if a long-cherished wish has been granted but then again, Anna had now joined her hands and was praying for this handsome old man\'s life.
Anna looked cute while praying, and the old mage himself had a pitiful expression while thinking about what they will do to him.
He had no need to actually put that space separating barrier, or even the illusion spells, just to talk with me.
But I understood just how great the matter of being one of the student council members was, and aside from my guardians and a few others, we couldn\'t even tell the other family members about this.
And there was no way I could tell about the matter of area 69MF to anyone.
