I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 19

It is said that love does not exist among the nobility.

Because it is natural for parents to choose their children’s fiancés and for the children to follow that decision.

However, this creates a significant contradiction.

Nobles are born with immense magical power equivalent to the Stella class, so they have a somewhat naive belief of, “Even though we are all of the same Stella class, why should we be judged differently?”
If you put it positively, they are lively and fearless; if you put it negatively, they are arrogant and overbearing.

From such thoughts, nobles tend to develop a paranoid mindset, easily leading them to love just one person.

I don’t know what kind of relationship Barbato had with his fiancée, but having his fiancée run away is quite unusual.

The shock of Barbato, who lived with obsessive love, must have been quite significant.

I don’t intend to sympathize, but I wonder if awakening to a preference for young girls was because he sought a being that wouldn’t oppose him.

Scandals like Barbato’s are everywhere in noble society.

The saying “love and quarrels are temporary” does not apply to the nobility.

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill…”

Barbato, while uttering curses, is rapidly gathering magical power within his body, but he is exposing a clear weakness.

(Well, what should I do?)

I was unsure whether it was okay to instantly defeat Barbato like this.

Because I can’t stop thinking about the other Stella-class star I saw to the south.

If you intended to observe us, I don’t want to reveal too much of our hand.

However, even if I think about it, the enemy won’t wait for me.

(Damn it, not even time to think)

Meanwhile, Barbato’s hair began to shine in an emerald green.

When in the Star Stella-class furious combat mode, the body hair changes color to match the attribute of the magic being used.

Barbato was just about to extend his right hand forward and cast a spell.

“Minishiro-sama, what on earth happened to you?!”

Did he find my actions suspicious because they were different from what he expected? Geraldo called out to me.

“……Geraldo, we’re going to change the plan a bit. Sorry, but trust me and follow my instructions.”

“……Hmm, you have something in mind, don’t you? Understood, I will trust you, Minishiro-sama.”

“Ah, thank goodness! …Everyone, wind magic is coming! We’ll scatter it with the magic ‘shield’!”

As expected, I’m glad to have Geraldo by my side.

I will give instructions to everyone right away.

The military officers began to gather magical power, each starting to channel it into the bayonets they held.

The blade at the tip of the bayonet glows, and a thin film of magic spreads from the tip.

“Shield” is, as the name suggests, a technique for creating a thin shield to deflect magic.

That said, I also channel magic into the pipe to create a “shield.”

“Disappear, Ortenos scum.”

What was unleashed from Barbato’s right hand was a slash from an invisible blade of wind.

The wide-area magic is approaching, spreading immense destruction to the ground and trees.

(This is the firepower of an ordinary Stella-class starship.)

After seeing Barbato’s magic, I conclude that Barbato is not a being of the same kind as myself.

With this, the only possibility of me being defeated by Barbato has disappeared.

For the first time, witnessing the Stella-class magic in actual combat through the “shield” of magical power.

The sound of the ground being gouged out with a thunderous roar was like a bombing.

“Fuhahaha! Die, die, die, die!”

Barbato continues to cast wind magic as if he were a fool repeating the same trick over and over.

If it had hit me directly, I would have taken some damage, but if I deflect it with magic, it won’t be a problem.

“Everyone, hold on just a little longer! It shouldn’t last much longer.”

“「「Oooooo！」」”

I was a little worried about the military officers, but now that I’m in the “Magic-Infused Doping” state, I can easily deflect them without any issues, so it seems like the wear and tear is minimal.

After a while, Barbato’s attack stopped.

“Don’t move, stay alert for any pursuit!”

Since the dust is rising and visibility is obscured, I urge the soldiers to be on alert.

I was tracking Barbato with “Magic Detection,” but he isn’t doing anything.

After a while, the dust settled.

“Huh? You deflected all my wind magic?!… No, wait, I see, you set up a ‘magic barrier,’ didn’t you?!”

“Huh?”

Barbato, who had shown up, seemed astonished by our minimal losses, but then, as if he had come up with an idea, he started speaking with a sense of pride.

I tilted my head in confusion, not understanding what Barbato meant.

“Magic Barrier” is a spell that creates a transparent barrier that completely nullifies magical attacks.

The defensive performance is outstanding, but unfortunately, the magic consumption is extremely high, so I don’t use it.

In terms of magical power, there is no problem, but since I tend to be stingy with its use, I don’t use it regularly.

“Hahaha! Occasionally, there are fools like you who, out of excessive concern for their subordinates, waste magic and end up with depleted mana!”

“……”

What on earth is Barbato talking about?

My magical power is overflowing, and if anything, I’ve been strict with my subordinates.

“I’ll give you credit for wiping out the ten thousand I left behind. But it seems you’ve overcharged your ‘magic mantle’ with too much mana. Coming to the battlefield without mastering mana control is where your luck runs out.”

“……Ah”

I see, it seems that Barbato judged me to be a kid who is terrible at magic manipulation after seeing my abnormal “magic wrapping.”

I find it hard to understand why they try to interpret things so conveniently, but as long as they misunderstand, it’s not a problem.
