I Became a Magical Cheat Loli Witch-Chapter 82Vol 3 : A Reunion Once Again and the Farewell
Teto and I ceased the function of the transfer gate connected to Selene’s royal villa and had it self-destruct through remote control.
After dealing with that, we teleported to our single house in the royal capital from the «Empty Wilderness», retrieved the transfer gate installed there, and then left.
"Majou-sama, what was that ring you passed over to Selene?"
The A-rank promotion exam was over and Selene too had begun to live with her biological parents.
Just as I was about to leave since there was no more reason to stay in the royal capital, Teto asked me that question.
"Hmm, the ring huh? It was a protection ring I created with «Creation Magic»."
It was a high-performance magic tool and its specific effect was to absorb and accumulate the surrounding mana over time. When danger befalls Selene, it would immediately perform actions such as detoxification, barrier creation, and healing among other things.
Furthermore, she would be forcefully teleported to the coordinates of a remote magic tool in the «Empty Wilderness» in case she fell into a hopeless situation, and I also gave the ring the function to contact me after that.
In layman's terms, it was a piece of urgent-escape equipment.
"Well, it is a magic tool to help Selene in her time of need."
"Hmph, I'm jealous that only Selene gets to have such a thing from Majou-sama."
"We're always together so it's not needed, right?"
I tried to comfort Teto who was pouting in childish envy but, even so, she still felt jealous of Selene getting something I created.
"But I'm still jealous."
"Then how about this, Teto? Let's go to a place where you can eat all the magic stones you want after a while."
"Really!? Hurray-nanodesu!"
It seems to have a connection with the place in Lariel's request and that's how I persuaded Teto.
"It will get lonely."
"Yeah, but I guess we will have many more such moments in our life."
Certainly, parting with Selene was heartbreaking.
To be honest, I burst into tears due to regret and surging sadness from our parting after I ordered the self-destruction of the transfer gate connected to the royal villa through remote control.
Teto had consoled me and I slept in her arms after tiring myself out.
I, who had become immortal, and then the golem girl Teto with an unspecified lifespan.
I'm sure we will have more encounters, parting, and changes in our life. We will enjoy the changes and then feel the farewells again.
"Let's first return to the «Empty Wilderness»! 一一«Teleport»!"
Once we were done with recovering the transfer gate installed in our single house in the royal capital and said our goodbyes to the places we frequented, we walked out of the royal capital. When we were at a far enough distance and I confirmed that no one was around, I used teleportation magic to take us away.
We returned to our home standing alone on the unmanaged land while feeling light dizziness.
"Just my mana alone wasn't enough for the one-way teleportation to the «Empty Wilderness» from the royal capital and I even had to use mana of «Mana Crystal». That's quite the feisty magic, honestly."
I squatted down on the spot, feeling the languidness from losing a great amount of mana at once after a long time.
I assume it takes around 300,000 units of mana for one-way teleportation. Indeed, it’s not something to be used lightly. As for its limitation, it has to be at a place I have gone to once or there needs to be a mark that will serve as a guide for the teleportation destination.
For example, a place I'm closely familiar with or the ring that I had passed to Selene.
"We're back, huh? It kinda feels strange."
I was just relaxing every day but entering our home through the front door after teleporting in front of it instead of using the «Transfer Gate» to directly enter inside gave me a different feeling.
"Well, we made it in time for the winter. We're going to take it easy ‘til spring, so let's do our best next year too."
"Aye一, nanodesu!"
In this way, I returned home with Teto.
…………
……
…
And then, six years later一一 I was looking at that scene from the spot where the Iska kingdom's church bell hung.
It was a scene woven by the people giving their “Congratulations!” blessings.
It was a wedding ceremony of a certain groom and a bride that day.
"Beautiful, isn't she, Teto?"
"Yes-nanodesu! Selene has truly grown up and has become so beautiful!"
Today's wedding ceremony was the wedding ceremony of our daughter Selene.
Selene passed these six years without any hiccups. She received support from lots of people and welcomed this day without having to reveal the effects of the ring.
The groom was the son of Marquis Reebel, the one who ruled the frontier territory near the «Empty Wilderness».
The frontier region was home to lots of monsters and it was also closer to the national border of the Beastkin nation.
Selene was someone who doesn't discriminate against beastkin due to her upbringing. A highly capable healer was warmly welcomed there, for it was a region constantly locked in a battle with monsters. Furthermore, it was also a place closer to our base, the «Empty Wilderness».
For so many reasons, it was decided that Selene was going to marry into the family of Marquis Reebel.
"I'm so happy to see her grow up into a splendid lady."
I rejoiced seeing grown-up Selene dressed in a beautiful wedding dress.
And at the same time, there was this sense of loneliness inside me of not being able to see her growing until she reached the prime age of a woman from up close. There’s also the fact that she had totally surpassed me in both height and chest.
"It's great to see her so. I think it's about time to give her our present. ーー«Illusion»!"
I projected the light magic that brings forth the phenomenon of illusion and had it envelop the place of the wedding ceremony.
It was the illusionary flower shower dance.
A lot of people gasped in admiration at the auspicious sight of falling cherry blossoms above the heads of the bride and groom as they were taking their exit.
"...... Okaa-san? Teto onee-chan?"
Selene and the son of Marquis Reebel turned to look over their heads to see the source of the illusionary flower shower and saw Teto and me coming down from where the bell hung.
"Selene, congratulations on your wedding."
"Congratulations-nanodesu."
I passed my congratulatory words only to Selene’s ears.
"I'm so glad you both came, okaa-san, onee-chan."
And after hearing Selene’s words, we returned through teleportation from there.
Afterwards, it was the wedding of the new couple blessed by a lot of people.
