I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 16

“Down?”

“Yes, when someone who is not accustomed to the Stella-class ‘Mamatoten’ gets affected by ‘Maten,’ they become high with a sense of omnipotence. The ‘down’ refers to when the ‘Maten’ is released, and the burden of the super enhancement suddenly overwhelms them.”
I see.

“Especially this time, since it was Minishiro-sama’s first battle, there were many new recruits among the dispatched personnel, which is why everyone ended up like that. Even so, there are too many casualties…”

No wonder there were so many young people in the assembled unit.

Did my father prepare a newcomer for me to use in the future?

Describing him as a foolish university student might not have been entirely wrong.

“Then shouldn’t we avoid using ‘Maten’ too often?”

“No, it’s necessary for newcomers to experience this burden. By going through ‘Mamatoten’ multiple times, you will gradually adapt… but it’s truly pathetic. Hey, why aren’t you standing up, you lot…!”

Geraldo will keep moving forward with energy.

How about overworking too much?

Since I also worked for a black company in my previous life, I understand well the feelings of those who have to follow a top who doesn’t know moderation.

However, once I became the top, I realized that now I am in a position where I have to exploit those below me.

(Indeed, humans are deeply flawed creatures.)

I stroke the gold coins in my pocket and then raise my voice.

“Everyone, just a little more patience! The enemy’s main force has lost its meat shield and is now on the brink of collapse. We’ll make sure to deal with them before they head towards the Ronshanto Fortress! Alright, let’s shift up another gear!”

I raised my voice and significantly increased the output to grant “Magic Wrapping” to the five hundred cavalrymen.

The heartbeat reverberates throughout, as if a thudding sound is echoing.

My magical power flows into the bodies of the military officers, and red veins emerge all over their bodies, as if they were bl00d vessels.

“Ugh, whoa! This is bad, my power is overflowing and won’t stop!”

“Ahh, ahh, ahh! Ohh, ohh! Nngh, it works!”

“Ughhh! Ngah, ngah, ngah! It’s absolutely the best!”

“……”

The military officers started behaving strangely, as if they had taken some dangerous drug.

As expected, I became worried and asked Geraldo.

“Hey Geraldo, is this really okay?”

“Ohhh, what incredible power! Lord Minishiro, you have nothing to worry about at all! Come, come, come!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Geraldo, with an even more pronounced, almost inhuman red streak, leaned in closer, and out of sheer terror, I clutched the gold coins with all my might.

“Minishiro-sama, what happened? Let’s quickly go and put an end to those guys! Come on, come on, come on, come on!”

I, as if escaping from the taunting voices of the crowd, shout in a high-pitched voice.

“Ready, set, deploy~~!”

Wrapped in the red magical power that stretches high into the sky, we begin our march towards Barbato.

Thanks to the “Magic Binding Doping,” my movement became super fast, but in exchange, I was left with an unforgettable trauma.

A few minutes after starting high-speed travel.

We finally captured Barbato and his group.

“Minishiro-sama, the target is in sight.”

“Alright, let’s scatter them like this! I want to get home quickly!”

“No, I believe we should observe the situation a bit longer. Even if they are the Stellar-class, there is a possibility of sustaining serious injuries, even for someone like you, Lord Minishiro.”

Geraldo’s proposal is annoying…

I mean, the army of people with red-veined faces is terrifying, so I want to wrap this up quickly.

Besides, to be honest, I had a feeling that if we clashed like this, we could take down Barbato right from the start.

“Stop! There’s no need to worry. More importantly, let’s hurry up and deal with Barbato…”

“Minishiro-sama, let us calm down and talk for a moment.”

Geraldo interrupted my words and began to speak in a relaxed tone, making me feel as if I had been doused with cold water.

It seems that I might have been too involved.

It seems I lost my sanity due to the terror.

Geraldo is probably trying to calm his mind before the decisive battle.

“……It seems like I was high too.”

“You have a good understanding of yourself. It’s natural for a first battle to go this way, more or less. This time, it seems you caught the attention of those behind you.”

“Ah, exactly right.”

And you too, Geraldo.

“With ordinary Stella-class magic, it wouldn’t be like that. To be able to exude such overwhelming fighting spirit among allies is just like the legendary ‘Falling Star Master’.”

Geraldo says with a growling expression.

“Fallen Star Master? Wasn’t that just a fairy tale?”

“No, he was a real person. He appeared long ago and unified this Atla continent with his absolute power. The teachings of the Falling Star Master are still passed down through generations, so we should consider him to have existed.”

I see, I was a bit lacking in my history studies.

The “teaching” that Geraldo speaks of, I’ll study from now on… but I feel a slightly probing gaze from Geraldo.

As expected, you’re wondering why I have such immense magical power.
