The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 70. Power-Up

70. Power-Up

“Now that the mystery’s solved, shall we head back this time?”

I guided the two to the front door. Due to the unexpected power-up event at the end, we were just a little behind schedule.

Even a few minutes’ delay could translate to tens of minutes in another world. Since the carriage was scheduled to depart early in the morning, it was getting dangerously late.

Putting on our shoes at the front door, I held hands with the two. While Levia-sama attempted to hold hands with Isezaki-san for no apparent reason, she was swiftly rebuffed with a sharp slap.

“Well then… ‘Dimensional Teleportation.'”

In the next moment, we found ourselves back inside the carriage. Everyone plopped down into their seats perfectly.

By the way, despite having teleported numerous times before, we had never ended up *inside a rock.*

Presumably, the magic was adjusting things nicely. Considering magic was activated solely by will and imagination, it was all pleasantly ambiguous.

“Now, let’s hope our escorts aren’t currently searching for us…”

I cautiously peered out the window.

Yet outside was still dark, with torches and campfires dotting the surroundings. Adventurers remained on guard near the torches.

“Huh?”

“Oh?”

Isezaki-san and I tilted our heads in confusion.

“I thought it was already early morning… What’s going on?”

“I don’t understand the logic, but the cause is clear.”

“Could it be because of the power-up…?”

“Yes, that’s the only plausible explanation.”

Yeah, that’s right. That’s the only thing I can think of. It seems like I’ve already received the benefits of the power-up.

Lately, I’ve been rushing around in Japan, so having some extra time is really appreciated. I’m glad I worked hard to defeat the Earth Dragon.

No worries about being late. As I sighed in relief and leaned back against the seat, Levia spoke up with a serious expression.

“Matsunaga-sama. Hasn’t the urgent discussion come to an end?”

“Huh? Oh, yes. There’s nothing urgent to discuss right now.”

“That’s what I thought. Then… I can’t hold back any longer! Onee-sama~!”

Levia suddenly cooed, then reached across the table to cling to Isezaki-san.

“Eugh, Levia… So, you still haven’t stopped being clingy! Hey, get off me!”

Levia clung and rubbed her face against Isezaki-san. Come to think of it, she mentioned being bothered by being overly clingy in her childhood, but is this the result of it…?

“You’re a proper lady now, aren’t you? Besides, you’re older than me now. Come on, let go already.”

Isezaki-san tried to push Levia away, but it seemed Levia was stronger. She pressed her face even closer.

“Even if you’re younger, you’re still my onee-sama~! Ahh… The scent of my onee-sama after ten years…! I love it, I love it so much!”

Levia’s face, unlike her usual dignified aristocratic expression, looked relaxed and happy. On the other hand, Isezaki-san seemed genuinely disgusted, turning her face away.

Isezaki-san let out a sigh and then turned to me.

“It can’t be helped. Oji-sama, give me your hand.”

As she reached out her hand, I obediently offered mine. She immediately grabbed it and said,

“‘Lightning Bolt’!”

“Whoa!!”

A momentary dazzling light flashed in the dim carriage, and Levia let out a strange noise.

“T-This is also nostalgic…”

Levia chuckled as she lay sprawled across the table. Whoa, I didn’t know there was magic like this…

“Is this safe?”

“I’ve toned it down. I used this to repel Levia back then too. It certainly brings back memories, hehe…”

Seeing Levia collapsed, Isezaki-san smiled with narrowed eyes.

Looking at Isezaki-san like that, I made sure not to anger her. That’s what I thought.
