Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 20.3

Rosetta seemed a bit tense as well. After waiting for about five minutes, the royal family finally appeared.

Ekkels and Ludienne stood up and bowed deeply. I knelt beside them and, with my head lowered, glanced up at the royal family.

The first to enter was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties. Her gentle expression contrasted sharply with her fiery red hair.

She had a full chest, a slim waist, and an impeccable figure and beauty. This must be the Second Queen, Sharlene.

Following her was a man with his face covered except for his eyes. This must be the First Prince, Alberic.

Even through his clothes, he seemed to have a surprisingly sturdy build. Trailing behind Alberic was a girl who appeared to be about my age.

With hair that could be called pink-blonde, and inheriting her mother’s beauty, this must be the Second Princess, Bridget. After confirming their appearances, I lowered my gaze and waited for them to speak.

“Good day, Ekkels, Ludienne. Please, sit.”

“Thank you, Sharlene-sama. I hope you are well today…”

While Ekkels and Ludienne continued with their formal greetings, I remained kneeling. After some rather meaningless seasonal greetings, the conversation finally moved to the main topic.

“Ludienne, is this the one who can break the curse of the Dark Mist?”

“Yes, indeed. May he offer his greetings?”

“Permission granted…”

“Yuto, greet them.”

“Yes, my name is Yuto Kirikaze.”

“Hmm… You may answer directly. Yuto, is it true that you defeated Dorotheus?”

“Uh… Yes, I did.”

I had expected them to ask about removing the curse, so my sleep-deprived brain struggled to respond, and my answer came out jumbled. I started to sweat, fearing I would be scolded later, when a male voice questioned me further.

“How did you defeat him?”

“How… I used teleportation magic.”

It was Prince Alberic who had asked the question. With his face covered, I couldn’t see his expression, but his gaze was piercing.

“Do not lie. Teleportation magic cannot cut through solid objects or the human body.”

“Uh… is that so? But I can split rock walnuts in half.”

“Interesting. Then, show us here. Rosetta, bring a rock walnut.”

“Understood.”

As Rosetta left to fetch the walnut at Alberic’s command, the room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Actually, I came here to discuss the removal of my birthmark, but now I’m being questioned about my teleportation magic, and my lack of sleep is making me even more irritable.

“Um… may I ask you something?”

“Go ahead, speak.”

“When activating teleportation magic, it recognizes the boundaries of objects with magic power. If you set the boundary within someone’s body, wouldn’t it be possible to teleport just a part of their body and sever it?”

“Teleportation magic doesn’t have that kind of power. If you can encompass the entire body within the teleportation range, you can transport it to any location, but if even a part of the body protrudes from the boundary, the teleportation magic won’t activate.”

“Earlier, you said that it can’t sever human bodies or hard materials, but can it sever soft materials?”

“That’s correct. It can sever air, water, and soil. Therefore, when teleporting a person, it is done on soil rather than on stone or wooden floors.”

“Pardon me, but does the prince use teleportation magic?”

“No, I can only use light attribute magic, but as a member of the royal family, it is natural to be knowledgeable about ‘invincible magic’.”

Teleportation magic, also known as ‘invincible magic,’ has been researched for its usefulness and rarity.

There must have been failures when trying to send troops from stone floors.

It seems that my teleportation magic deviates from those research results.

“Thank you for waiting…”

Rosetta returned, carrying a basket of rock walnuts. She used teleportation magic to cut one of them in half in front of us, causing Alberic to widen his eyes in amazement.
