My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~

Chapter 237: Demonstration of Growth

It had been two days since Nagini began living in town and trained according to Dianeia’s plans.

It appeared that there were already some results.

「Master Daichi——! Dianeia-san’s is amazing ssu! My magic has already gotten better ssu!」

When I came to visit Nagini’s house she immediately reported this to me.

Even after a few bumps and scrapes over the past few days she had a happy expression.

「Ohh, you must’ve worked hard.」

「Ussu, I did my best ssu!」

Nagini said with a bow and got closer.

It looked like she was a little puppy asking for praise…I wondered if she wanted me to pat her head or something…

「………..」

I could see her fixing me with a gaze full of expectations.

It seems like I was right and she was acting like a big puppy looking for head pats. I decided to indulge her and patted her head.

「Ehehe….being praised really is nice ssu…….」

Nagini said looking even happier and a bit embarrassed.

If this was enough to make her happy then I could do it as much as she pleased. As I patted her head I saw some scrapes and scratches on the back of her neck as well.

「Ahh, you got beat up quite a bit…」

「In a magic exchange this much can’t be helped ssu. But Dianeia-san and the others treated my wounds so there’s no problem ssu!」

Nagini said and Dianeia responded with a wry smile.

「Umu. Nagini-dono’s growth is amazing. At first she performed just like an amateur but quickly she improved to the level where she could exchange blows with a soldier. It’s no exaggeration that her speed of improvement is dozens of times faster than a normal human.」

「Ohh? That’s really amazing Nagini.」

「Ussu! …..but I’m still at the level where I lose as soon as Dianeia-san fights me so I need to work harder. Plus Dianeia-san said that Master Daichi grew hundreds of times faster than a normal person so I’m completely aware that there’s always someone better ssu!」

PICTURE

She said while gripping her fists tight. I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

「I…don’t think I was actually that fast Dianeia.」

「Yeah Daichi-dono. Sorry to have to disagree Daichi-dono…but you were able to use extremely high difficulty techniques like imagination magic only a few days since you arrived. It’s really odd. Please just acknowledge it. If the person in question doesn’t even believe that they’re improving at an abnormal rate…then our very last shred of common sense will be crushed…」

Dianeia said with a smile full of resignation.

「I don’t especially attribute it to my own efforts…I think it’s more thanks to Hesty’s good lessons and easy to understand examples.」

Hesty may act quite humbly, but her power was most likely suitably great I thought…

「Hesty-san’s teachings ssu?….I’d like to try and learn from her too ssu. I’ll get stronger and enter Master Daichi’s house and be fine ssu.」

Nagini said with determination.

Certainly, if she got strong enough she wouldn’t be too affected by the area around my home.

「How does it look to you Dianeia? You think she’ll be fine?」

「Hmm, sorry but I don’t really know. Magically it’s a bit questionable, but Dragon King bodies are different from human bodies so she may be able to bear it with her body.」

「I see. In that case the final decision lies with you Nagini….are you sure you want to come over and try?」

「Ussu! I’ll challenge it ssu!」

「Okay then. Let’s go give it the old college try. Dianeia I’ll leave the teleportation to you.」

And so Dianeia, Nagini, and I teleported back to my home.

**************************

And a few minutes later…..

「I-I’m s-sorry suu. I got too far ahead of myself ssu……」

Nagini said as she lay collapsed on the ground.

In fact she hadn’t gotten more than short distance in before she was downed.

「So you’re out just as we get close to Hesty’s cottage….」

Once she entered my garden her facial color had worsened, but she held on until we had nearly reached Hesty’s cottage. There she had collapsed.

「I think it’s better than the first time I tried ssu……..」

Nagini gasped out as she lay face down on the ground.

Dianeia followed up with some lighter words.

「U-umu! This is progress Nagini-dono! You collapsed but you didn’t throw up!」

「That’s right Nagini. Yeah, you didn’t leak either so this is definite progress.」

I followed up as well but Dianeia blushed and looked at me with some protest so I decided to stop there.

「Okay let’s leave the consolation at that. Hesty could you estimate to what degree she’s gotten stronger?」

I asked Hesty who had just exited her cabin.

I decided to leave the judgment up to her since she should be the most accurate.

Hesty took a short while and considered.

「Let’s see…I’d say, she is stronger than she, was a few days ago….her magic has improved to the, degree of a, typical adventurer.」

「I see…….wait…doesn’t that mean that a typical adventurer will just collapse if they try to approach my house?」

「n? Yes that’s right. This land has, gotten even stronger than it was, at the start. The spirits’ power and the magic power, has gathered and strengthened enough, that normal creatures can’t approach.」

「Seriously?」

It’s increased that much?

I wondered why I hadn’t been seeing those boars that used to attack lately. That was what happened. I was a little shocked.

「n, at any rate, it’s true she’s stronger, so she should continue as she has been. However, you should probably, focus more on magical, defenses.」

Hesty said frankly.

「Why improve her magic defenses?」

「n, when a mage first begins training, in earnest there is, a tendency to attach too much importance to attacking. So even if she gets used to, exchanging magic blows, coming to this, magic spot will be harsh…it would be better to have, a more comprehensive, training plan.」

As expected of Hesty-sensei. Even without knowing the exact training methods she said something insightful.

「Comprehensively? Hm…..sounds reasonable.」

It seems that advice would soon be put into practice I thought.

「Hesty and Dianeia if you have time after this we should discuss more in depth Nagini’s training plan. Nagini needs to rest too, so we could do it while she does so.」

「n, got it. Then, I’ll go grab some magic tools, I think will be useful.」

「Understood. Creating a joint training plan has plenty of merit to it. Please lend me your aid.」

And so we began talks about the continued training of Nagini who had grown (a bit).
