Souen no Historia Vol 1 Chapter 23

Seeing this scene, Ninthe, who was in verge of crying, said,   “hic… K-Kaina-sama… just what Yoyo-sama….]   Kaina smiled and gently patted Ninthe’s head.   “Everything is okay now. Yoyo-sama has a very powerful magic after all.” “Eh… i-is that her magic?” “Ee, lets just watch them.”   Magic power came out of Yoyo’s body, and flowed around and covered the room.   “Th-... This is amazing….”   Ninthe was amazed.   Then magic power compressed gradually and gathered in Yoyo’s right hand. Souji’s body absorbed it and it disappeared. Quickly Souji’s previously pained breathing returned to normal. Even his face that was completely red has similarly returned to when he was healthy.   “Remember it well Ninthe, that’s our master, Yoyo-sama’s Tuning magic.” “Tu-...... ning?   Yoyo fell on her knee at the same time as Ninthe muttered that. Kaina shouted, “This is bad!” as she tried to help her…… but that was unnecessary.   “... thank you very much, Yoyo-ojousama.”   The one who strongly supported her before Yoyo collapsed was Souji, who was still on the bed.   “Thank you for taking care of me.”   Souji said so towards Yoyo whose breath was slightly rough.   “... good grief.    You truly are a reckless one.”   Yoyo said that while her body was still being supported by Souji.    “I am sorry. However, Ojou-sama was also being reckless, curing my magic’s recoil.” “Fufu, is that so. Looks like I am not one to talk about it.”   Yoyo breathed deeply to regain her normal breathing and looked straight at Souji. Her gaze slowly moved towards the necklace given to her by Souji.   “I am happy about your feelings.” “That is an honor for me. There was the result that I would stuck in bed for a long time…… O-Ojou-sama?”   Souji found himself at a loss for words because Yoyo stared at him in displeasure.   “However, I cannot forgive you for that.” “B-But… if this power exists-” “Be silent.” “Uh….” “I understand that you are thinking of my safety. However if in the future you try to silently do such a thing, a harsh punishment awaits you.” “Th-That is… may I ask what is it?” “That’s right. How about other than serving me you are to also serve Kaina?” “I swear I will not do it again.” “Wa~itt, somehow I feel damaged~.”   Kaina shouted, but they weren’t joking. It was definitely better for him to serve Yoyo as always. Frankly, he didn’t have any problems because Yoyo only ordered him things that are within his reach.   However Kaina is different. If Souji was to serve her, she would surely become even lazier than before. She would definitely say anything she wants. Because he was confident he would not be able to endure it for even a week, he wanted to prevent that.   “Fufu, then don’t do such a thing again. Understand?” “Y-Yes.” “That’s good. I am going to sleep now because I am little tired. Even though Souji has recovered now, you are resting today.” “B-But....” “It is an order.” “... as you wish.”   Though he wanted to work because his condition had improved thanks to Yoyo’s magic, he could not go against the order. Reluctantly, he decided to obey her today.   “Souji-samaaaaaa-! Thank G.o.dddddd-!”   Ninthe tried to cling to him as she cried. Then Souji gently caught her.   “Ahaha, I am sorry, Ninthe. Everyone too. Just as you can see, my body is okay now. I am sorry for making you worry.”   He politely bowed to them. The others pat their chests in relief and returned to work.       Souji recalled what happened last night as he lied in bed. A new flame was created. That was yellow flame. First, he carved the crest made of yellow flame that would be put it into an object. No matter where it was, he could immediately fly to where the crest was.   It could simply be said as teleportation. However, only Souji himself could fly there. In addition, he could perceive the physical and mental condition of the one touching the crest. It couldn’t accurately grasp the inner working of the mind, but that didn’t matter. What would be transmitted was something like impatience and anger, feelings that were strong.   With magic of such power, Souji carved the crest on the tag and made it into a necklace. As long as Yoyo carried it, he could feel when a crisis approached her and immediately teleport. However the carved crest would expire in a week, so it was necessary to carve it regularly.   With this, he was glad that he gained a new flame. Normally, what he would do is to slowly create a new flame, but he was in too much of a hurry the effect of the magic was too strong, so it resulted in that recoil.   He somehow made it with Yoyo’s Tuning magic, and his condition returned to normal. He likely would have had to lie in bed for more than a week if nothing was done. The boy with 31 years old of mental age once again learnt that it was not good to be in too much of a hurry.   (Even so, as expected, Ojou-sama’s Tuning magic is something different altogether....)   Of course in his previous condition, Souji likely would be able to recover with the green flame. However the time it takes to recover a living thing was different from that of an object. It was a flame that was originally created to mend broken things, but he added that function when Yoyo was injured.   However the limitation on it was strong and, though it was possible to immediately cure anything on the level of a scratch, more magic power and time was necessary for a deep wound. Surely Yoyo had thought of the same thing and it might only be a dream for now.   However Yoyo was able to do it and resulted only in her staggering.   Tuning magic was as it name suggested, a magic that corrected the distortion of things Yoyo touched directly. Not like Souji’s blue flame that searched for an objects memory, Yoyo could see through everything she touched.   Yoyo touched the tag’s crest, she only showed an expression like she was guessing, but she clearly understood what the crest was. She could see into everything she touched, a power that could change the condition and structure of things as she liked. It is a rare magic that allowed Yoyo the capability of controlling the magic power that covered the room.   (Before, I made Ojou-sama angry and was punished with diarrhea... I don’t want to remember it.)   That time, Souji became the toilet’s resident for three days. It was a magic that could even do that. However such a powerful magic greatly consumed not only magic power but also physical and mental strength. This magic couldn’t be used casually.   Yet, Yoyo used it for Souji without a moment’s hesitation.   Souji suddenly got up and went to his destination.   He knocked on the door before him.   “... Souji?”   What he heard from inside was Yoyo’s serene voice. It was as if she had expected him to come. After obtaining permission, he quietly opened the door.   “Didn’t I tell you to rest?”   There was a slight anger included in her words. However, Souji went to Yoyo side next to the bed and bowed.   “I am truly sorry.” “...... haa, what a helpless child.”   The sound of Yoyo’s amazed sigh entered his ears. However, a pleasant scene was reflected in Souji’s eyes.   “Fufu, of course I’m wearing it. After all, this is something you desperately created.”   A necklace was worn around her neck. When he saw, he inadvertently smiled.   “Nee, Souji, you ... do you regret becoming my butler?”   Though she said so with her usual expression, her voice wavered slightly. Thinking what she was worried about it, he smiled.   “What’s with that question?” “.......” “I am happy because I work here.” “.......” “I have no regrets. That is why, please don’t ask such a thing again.” “... fufu, looks like it was a foolish question.” “Ee, I am Yoyo-ojousama’s butler after all.” “Then let me rephrase it. Souji, continue serving me from now on. You are my one and only butler.” “As you wish, Yoyo-ojousama.”   The two looked and smiled at each other. Then Souji placed his index finger before his mouth. Yoyo, “Eh?,” had such a feeling, but Souji went to the door without making any sounds and quickly opened it.   “”Kyaah!?””   Probably because they were leaning on the door to listen, Kaina and Ninthe fell into the room.   “Ah, d-don’t misunderstand! It’s because I saw Souji’s back, it’s not like I think you are going to attack the exhausted Yoyo-sama!” “W-Wawawa! Ninthe was forcibly brought by Kaina-sama!” “W-Wait, Ninthe. You should have stick with me there!” “Eeeeeh!?”   Even so was what the surprised Ninthe was expressing. Souji leered at them and let out a long sigh before saying,   “Ojou-sama, I only have one complaint.”   Souji stared at Kaina’s face. “Eh? What is it?,” was what Kaina’s face expressed as she did not understand the situation.   “Fufu, that is right. But, won’t you feel bored without it?” “Ahaha, I can’t refute to that.” “What are you laughing about~! Ah, is it about the manjuu Souji created and put into storage yesterday that I sneakily ate just now... ah.”   Kaina seemed to have realized what she said, but it was too late. Souji sneered and looked down on Kaina.   “Hohou, Mother. This month salary will be decreased by 70%.” “Th-That’s~! Have mercyyy, Soujiiii~! I won’t be able to survive like this~! Ninthe, please say something too!” “Eeh! That’s unrelated to Ninthe!” “Would it be better with 80%, Mother?” “My life point is already at the very limit you know~!”   Watching the conversation, Yoyo happily laughed as she muttered,     “You guys are the best.” This was originally “for the love of G.o.d.” I seriously doubt Yoyo would say that. ↩
