“Ouga-sama, it seems we have an adorable guest.”
 
Her whisper nearly made me trip over myself, but I managed to keep my composure at the word “guest.”
 
“A guest? I don’t recall any appointments… Do you know who it is?”
 

 
“Yes. They’re nearly here. I’ll step aside for them.”
 
“Wha—?”
 
Who could possibly be someone Alice would allow this close?
 
The moment her comforting presence pulled away, a heavy thud hit my back.
 

 
I spun around—and there stood a girl I hadn’t seen in ages.
 
Ah, right. I knew … Read the rest

 
“Ouga-sama, please have a seat here.”
 
Alice, who had been watching from a slight distance, smoothly prepares a chair. I sit down immediately and extend my right arm toward Yueri.
 
I can’t help but stare at the prosthetic. I said the pain doesn’t bother me, but that’s a lie. Even in my past life, I was the type who couldn’t stand watching needles during injections.
 
But I’m the eldest son of the Four Great Ducal Houses. Now that I’ve been mockingly dubbed “The Saint (Laughs)”, I can’t afford to show a pathetic, trembling figure.

[Stage 5-1] Little Sister’s Assault
 

Our estate, as expected of one belonging to the Four Great Ducal Houses, boasts land vast enough to avoid embarrassment.
 
Beyond the main residence, numerous facilities are scattered across the grounds—including, of course, spaces designed for magic practice, where I developed my [Magic Burial].
 

 
But while such a place might suffice for ordinary mages, it could never satisfy her.
 
Thus, Mashiro and I found ourselves training in the garden yet again today.
 
“[Ice Meteor Shower]!”
 
Countless shards of ice materialized above her head.
 
Individually small, yet each … Read the rest

[Stage-Sub1] Message from the Bride
 

Mashiro Vellet
 

Ouga, I love you.
 
I can’t remember how many times I’ve whispered those words in my heart.
 
Meeting you completely changed my life.
 
The person who entered the academy without clear intentions, just because others encouraged me for my talent, is gone now.
 
I can proudly say that I love you.
 
I can shout that I love you more than anyone else, loud enough to reach you even if you were on the opposite side of the world.
 
Every day with you has taught me so … Read the rest

[Stage-Sub3] The Last Holiday
 

 
“The quality of the magic stones… the quantity… I was right to choose this place.”
 
I, Floné Milfonti, stood at the peak of a mountain far from the Kingdom of Rondism.
 
This place was once human territory, but now it’s occupied by the magic dragon.
 
“…Or rather, it was occupied… I suppose.”
 
The master of this place is no longer here.
 
I drove it out with sheer power a few days ago. It’s probably rampaging somewhere by now.
 
It should be doing a good job as a prelude … Read the rest

 
“…This isn’t complete yet, is it?”
 
I said, tapping my right arm.
 
“…! …I see. So I have no choice but to do this, huh?”
 
“Yeah, you have no choice but to follow me. So, tell Dude about our conversation exactly as it happened.”
 
I instruct her to explain the situation to Dude in advance to avoid complaints later. It would be troublesome otherwise.
 
Besides, if my prediction is correct, that man will give his permission.
 
After all, he’s the one most infatuated with his daughter’s skills.
 
“Come to the Wing-Ship, the … Read the rest

[Epilogue]
 

 
“The sound… has it stopped…?”
 
As the deafening explosion ceased, the people who had been crouching in place cautiously peered out the window.
 
Our city, ravaged by the magic dragon. Just when we thought it was all over, standing there was not the magic dragon, but the [Saint].
 
“Boss Dude…”
 
One of them asked me, as if to confirm it wasn’t a dream.
 
So, I nodded firmly to reassure them and replied.
 
“Yeah… he won.”
 
“It’s… it’s a miracle…! A miracle has happened!”
 
“I’m alive…! I’m really alive…!”
 … Read the rest

Dust swirls up, and the Magic Dragon, still not fully comprehending what’s been done to him, resists, but I won’t allow it.
 
If the fist can be pulled back towards me, the reverse is also possible.
 
By concentrating magical power through the magical threads towards the fist gripping the Dragon’s jaw, this time my entire body, arm attached, rapidly closes in on the Magic Dragon.
 
“Hey. Is that all you’re going to focus on?”
 
[You impudent copycat!]
 
As the Magic Dragon reaches for my approaching body, I grab him with my free left hand and … Read the rest

I put on the work clothes I had tied around my waist and donned my goggles.
 
What I envision is the failed [Dragon Slaying Fist].
 
Instead of discarding it as a mere failure, make it one of the options.
 
Without a doubt, that was the best work of my life so far.
 
The boy praised it too, and there was no malfunction in its function.
 
Then, instead of creating something new, improve the [Dragon Slaying Fist].
 
I take out the memo I had stored in my work clothes.
 
What he wanted was an … Read the rest
