Becoming a magician in another world

"......Uh-huh"

"Ms. Erica, Miss Erica. Are you awake?"

Erica woke up in the creaking carriage.

Sam breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Hey?"

"It looked like a mild concussion. I took it to the doctor and it was nothing serious."

"...What about the duel?"

"I won"

"...As expected. I don't know why I always remember it."

An hour had passed since the duel.

Sam and Erica were on their way back to the capital in a carriage prepared by the merchant.

After that, Sam, who didn't need money, slaves, or trouble, handed the three boys and girls over to the merchant.

In return I was able to borrow a sturdy and fast carriage.

The official procedures had been completed through the guild, and Dolgana and his men had become the property of the merchants.

Sam didn't know what would happen to them from now on.

"Luckily you're safe."

"--Aren't you smiling?"

"why?"

Not sure what he was asking, Sam tilted his head.

I can’t guess why she laughed at Erica.

However, Erica's face twisted and she covered her eyes with her arms.

"What a duel it was, the result was this. If it weren't for you, I would be a slave now."

"That's impossible. The other team loses because of a foul. The result won't change."

In the end, Sam made Dolgana and the others surrender and won the victory, but even without another battle, he would definitely have lost by foul.

They are viscounts so they are very flamboyant, but that kind of thing doesn't work for the Adventurer's Guild.

Regardless, their foul failures won't change.

However, Sam did not forgive them for hurting Erica, he just did it.

There was no way Erica was going to be a slave.

"--sorry"

"Eh?"

Sam doubted his ears at Erica's too sudden apology.

Erica, who had always been stubborn, apologized to me for the first time since we met.

But I don't know the reason for the apology.

"What happened, suddenly?"

"Thanks to you, I didn't suffer terribly."

"I don't need to apologize. I just did it because I wanted to. But, think about it a little more from now on before you act."

"Um"

Sam felt there was no need to say anything more to Erica's frank answer.

Erica, who was originally rushing forward like a pig, reflected on what she had done obediently like a lie.

That way, I won't complain unnecessarily.

(But why the sudden change of attitude?)

"that"

"Yes"

After looking at the situation for a while, Erica opened her mouth slightly.

"I, I'm jealous of you."

“Jealous? To me, huh?”

"Of course not. Because, Sister Ur's only disciple, the heir to everything..."

"Mrs. Erica"

“I regret it. I don’t want to admit it. So, I was unreasonable with you…I’m sorry.”

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as she covered them with her arms and flowed down her cheeks.

"I don't mind."

"But I do care. Because I am stupid, I would do this because I am fighting with stupid nobles. I am so pitiful." I am so pitiful.

Erica began to whimper softly.

Sam could only pretend not to notice.

"......I heard that Sister Wuer died. I couldn't believe it, but with you who inherited everything, I lost my goal and everything. Even if I know that I was angry, I want to blame you."

"Because of the death of a family member, it's not unreasonable."
