Chapter 7: A Big Step Forward
Chapter 7: A Big Step Forward
What?
Kunon couldnt help but exclaim.
What!?
The house servant also raised her voice in response.
Today, as usual, Kunons magical training continues.
Its been about three months since that day.
The pleasant season has passed and it is now winter.
Today, as I was sitting in my room playing with Water Ball A Ori', Kunon stood up as if he had been hit by a bullet.
Whats wrong?
The maidservant fearfully called out to Kunon, who was still stiff, to see what was wrong.
I think I saw .
Kunon muttered in shock, dumbfounded as if he couldnt believe it himself.
Time stood still for a moment, and then it began to move.
No way! Really! Are you sure? If you say youre lying, Ill slap you, but are you sure?
Wait, wait, wait! I dont know either! I dont know either!
The house servant was very excited and came close to him, and Kunon also was very confused by the sensations he experienced.
Both are distraught over the suddenness of the event.
And maybe Im not seeing things correctly ouch ouch ouch!
Please dont make boring jokes! Im actually going to slap you!

I didnt expect to be really slapped, but instead I was pinched on the cheek as hard as I could. She is a very reserved maid.
That is not what you call humor! I have always hoped that Master Kunon would be a gentleman with a sense of humor, but that kind of bad taste is not allowed! Its not a joke to some people!
And I think a lecture is about to start.
No, no, no! Hear me!Maybe I saw a color!
Color? You saw colors?
To be exact, I thought I might have felt it, actually!
wait, isnt that still really amazing?
I mean, I dont know if I really saw or not.
The two of them finally calmed down.
Here. This apple.
Kunon stroked his still sore cheek and picked up one of the apples on the table with his free hand.
It was prepared for a magic experiment.
Right now, Kunon is obsessed with cryogenic treatment or so called freezing change.
As a house servant, shed rather not have it get cold in the room when its cold outside.
However, if Kunon wanted to do it, she didnt refuse.
This is. red, isnt it? Kunon asked.
The maid raised an eyebrow at his words.
Its not red.
The apple in Kunons hand is a green apple.
Its more like a light green to be exact.
Should I be honest with him, or no.
No, its not red.
Iko said. She thought that its still in the experimental phase, and the trial phase.
Its okay if he cant see now, just if he can see it eventually it would be
Is that so?
However, she thought Kunon would be shocked and disappointed that the result was not what he wanted, but he remained calm.
Then he reached out his hand and picked another one.
So is this whats called the red one?
This time the apples he chose were indeed red.
Then the maid finally understood.
It makes sense. If this is his first time seeing color, then Kunon did not yet recognize the name of the color.
The one you have is red. The apple you just saw is called a green apple, and it is light green.
What? Its a green apple, but its light green?
Thats the way it is. By the way, do you know how many red apples and green apples are on the table?
Yes. Three red apples and two green apples, right?
Thats right. That means, he can really see the colors.
Am I right?
Yes!Thats amazing!
The house servant was happy and took hold of Kunon in her arms.
It was not yet the result Kunon had hoped for, but it was a big step forward.
But this is still not enough, Kunon said.
After a moment of joy, Kunon calmed down.
He could now see the colors of the objects around him, but that was it.
To be honest, he cant even see them.
He could only sense it with his magical power.
Kunons conscious and unconscious mind, trying to figure out what was going on, was probably just affected by the mysterious power of magic.
My magic teacher told me that magic is a force that we still dont know much about.
There are people who can move matter with magic power itself. Ive also heard that there is a phenomenon called sensing by magic power.
What Kunon wants is to get a vision with the eyeball made by magic.
The logic is similar but completely different.
But still.
Still, it was a big step forward.
If you cant see things, but you can see colors, then you can have some idea of whats there.
Especially if its a familiar space like the one Im usually in.
It will make my life easier.
Anyway, lets report this to your father! This is such a great thing!
Its still too early to tell. It could be a fluke, and I want to wait until Im a little more used to it. I dont want to disappoint my father.
Youll be fine! Have confidence in yourself!
The maidservant tapped Kunon on the shoulder, who was reluctant due to his natural reticence.
This is the result of your hard work! Its not a fluke, its your ability! Its your hard work, Master Kunon! Its your hard work coming together!
Lets go! Well report together! and Ill ask if they could increase my allowance as well!
What?Now?Wait a minute
The house servant did not wait.
He was dragged or rather carried by his side, halfway to the main building.
However, the family was not there, so the two of them pulled up to their separate as if nothing had happened.
