I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

"Really?! We are a family of magicians?!"

This news was a huge surprise for Maki Ikeuchi. She climbed out of her mother's arms on the spot, her face full of excitement.

"Yes...but now, we are no longer a family of magicians."

“Why…why!”

Hearing Ikeuchi Maki's anxious questioning, the old couple looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness and sadness.

"Maki... The world of magic is extremely cruel. The Ikenai family was once just a small family, but simply because they were weak, they were ostracized by countless families in other worlds... In the end, the family was destroyed and we could only reluctantly pass through the singularity and come to this world.

However, the price is...complete loss of magical ability."

The old couple recalled the past, and some painful memories lingered in their hearts. They had finally escaped from the deep vortex of magic. At this moment, they just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life, and it would be best if they had nothing to do with magic again. But now... their child has entered the field of magic again...

Although the world she followed the master to was not the one they came from, the level of technology in their world was similar to this one, but they were still worried that Maki would be in danger.

"Maki...promise me! Don't go to your so-called master again!"

"But...but..."

"Maki! It's very dangerous. The world of magic is too deep. You can't grasp it!"

Hearing her father's hoarse voice, Ikeuchi Maki fell silent. The thing she had been following for so long, actually...

"The child's father..."

Maki Ikeuchi's mother pulled Ikeuchi's father, who was a little agitated, and said something in a reproachful way, which calmed Mr. Ikeuchi down.

"I'm sorry... Mom and Dad, I still want to go."

"Maki you......!"

Before Ikeuchi's father could get angry again, Mrs. Ikeuchi covered his mouth with a sad face.

"Maki, can you tell us why?"

"...Master once told me that what we do is meaningful. We... fight for this world, for the countless lives in this world, and to protect the beauty of this world..."

Silently clenching her fists, Ikeuchi Maki recalled something her master had said to her before. At that time, under the moon, she had asked Fang Wuwei why he had traveled through time and space.

This is how he answered...

"...Is that so... Maki, I respect your decision."

"! The mother of the child!!"

"Her father! The child has grown up! I am also very relieved that he has this awareness..."

Looking at the three people hugging each other and crying, Fang Wuwei, who was leaning on the railing of a balcony not far away, rubbed his eyes silently.

..........................................

The next day, today is the last day of summer vacation.

Thanks to Ikeuchi Maki's selfless dedication, he doesn't have to do homework at all now and is very relaxed.

It was still early at this moment, so Ikeuchi Maki came to Fang Wuwei's house again, but this time, she did not come alone.

Fang Wuwei opened the door and saw the familiar place, a familiar person... and two unfamiliar people.

The Ikeuchi couple came to visit.

"Master... I can't stop you..."

Ikeuchi Maki looked at Fang Wuwei with a somewhat aggrieved expression, but Fang Wuwei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he was happy about it. Good guy, he still had a lot of questions to ask, and they were delivered to him now.

"Houbei Konghong...right, we are Ikeuchi Maki's parents, and we have something to ask you..."

"Please come in, Mr. and Mrs. Chi Nei. I know the problem. And, I prefer others to call me Fang Wuwei..."

..........................................

"Please take a seat."

Fang Wuwei led the few people to the living room, signaled them to feel free, and waved his hand. A full cup of tea appeared on the empty coffee table in front of them, which made Ikeuchi Maki's eyes widen.

I have been making tea for you for more than a month, and you tell me that you can just make it yourself? ! !

Xiaoxiao showed off his skills, and the Ikenai couple naturally fell for it, and then fell silent...

Although they came to this world where magic cannot be used, no matter how stupid they are, they know that this person has real skills.

But... no matter what, it's not okay to take Maki away when she knows nothing at all!

"Brother Dongfang... No, Mr. Dongfang, I just want to know why you took my Maki away without permission?"

He was not surprised at all that the other party's parents came to his house to make trouble. If his own daughter disappeared for three days with a boy of the same age for no apparent reason, he would be even more anxious.

Silently picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Fang Wuwei slowly spoke:

"First of all, I prefer others to call me Fang Wuwei rather than this name... Secondly, the incident happened suddenly, and it was her own choice."

"Brother, no matter what you say, you shouldn't bring a child who has not experienced the world to a dangerous place!"

"I am the same age as her. Besides, she is indeed a good candidate. She was the one who pestered me to become her apprentice."

Making good use of the advantages of his current body to silence Ikeuchi's father, Fang Wuwei put down the teacup in his hand. Although he knew that this was like a yellow-haired guy, but... apart from anything else, he did recognize Ikeuchi Maki and planned to teach her abilities and make her his assistant.

"Maybe...the two parents should listen to their children's opinions. I'm not doing anything dirty."

The Ikeuchi couple looked at each other. They were under a lot of pressure now: not to mention that this was the opponent's home court, according to the magician's common sense, if the opponent was hostile, then entering the opponent's territory would almost be suicide. They had made sufficient mental preparation before they dared to come in.

But what this person said seems to be right. Children are growing up and it’s time to listen to their opinions.

Then, the three of them turned their attention to Ikeuchi Maki, who had been silent the whole time.

"...I hope to continue following you, Master!"

"Oh...even if it means death?"

"If it is for the sake of countless lives, why should I fear death!"

"Maki!!"

Hearing their own child talking like that, the Ikeuchi couple couldn't stand it and interrupted her immediately, but they were soon stunned by the expression on Maki's face.

They had seen that expression before... They had seen it on the faces of the elders of the Ikeuchi family who were left behind when they were fleeing to that world.

Unforgettable in this life.

Both of them fell silent. They knew they couldn't persuade their daughter to come back. Instead, Fang Wuwei looked at Zhenji with even greater respect.

"Okay... From now on, I will train you and teach you step by step until you become a strong man.

But remember, unless the enemy is right in front of you, you must not expose it, let alone use it without authorization, understand?"

"......yes!"

Chi Nei's parents knew that they could not have a say, and they were willing to respect their child's opinion, so they set their sights on Fang Wuwei.

This young boy, at such a young age, has mastered magic in this isolated world. If he can learn even a little bit of this trick, then... there is hope for the revitalization of the Ikenai family!

Mr. Ikeuchi, who instantly decided not to bear a grudge for bringing his daughter to another world, took out several worn-out cowhide books of different volumes from his bag.

"Dongfang... No, Mr. Fang Wuwei, this is a magic book passed down from the Chi Nei family. Can you take a look and see if there is any room for improvement..."

"Well, I'm really excited when you say that..."
