The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 127: Lady Alicia Has Someone She Likes ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Sam was depressed as he was about to have an arranged marriage tomorrow with Hanae, the granddaughter of the first seat of the court wizard, Magnolia.

「Haaaaah…」

He had just gained another fiancée, Princess Stella, in addition to Lise, and he was worried about what he would do if he gained another one, feeling guilty.

「No, no, no, you can just say no to her just because it was arranged. Yeah, that’s right!」

「*Squeak, squeak*」

「Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll wash you now.」

Sam apologized when one of the baby dragons mewed at him.

Sam was in the garden to wash the baby dragons.

The little dinosaurs had been playing with Alicia in good spirits today, but they had become covered in mud because they had been so enthusiastic in their play.

(Even Alicia-sama was covered in mud, where on earth was she playing?)

It is no longer unusual to see Alicia and the little dragons together as a set.

At first glance, Alicia seems to be a quiet girl, but she is the younger sister of Ur and Lise, so it seems she has a cheerful side to her as well.

Now, she is being scolded by her mother, Grace, for coming home covered in mud, which is something unbecoming of her age.

In the meantime, Sam is trying to wash the little dragons.

He wanted to send them straight to the bath, but she thought the maids would have a hard time cleaning the hallway if they got dirty on the way.

「Here, let me pour hot water on you.」

「*Squeak!*」

Using water magic, he prepared a large amount of water in the air, warmed it to the right temperature using flame magic, and then poured it over the bodies of the little dragons with great vigor.

The water is warmed to the right temperature using fire magic, and the water is then poured vigorously over the bodies of the little dragons.

As I was lathering them up with soap and a brush, I heard a voice,

「Sam-sama, I can help you, too.」

Alicia, who must have been released from her sermon, appeared with a brush.

Unlike her usual clothes, she was wearing trousers, probably for ease of movement.

Even those pants were covered in mud.

「Thank you, Alicia-sama. But you were freed from Grace-sama?」

「Ugh, long time…no, how many years has it been since I was scolded by mother like that?」

「I’m glad to see you’re having so much fun these days, Alicia, playing with your dragon cubs.」

「Yes! Every day is a joy for me!」

While conversing, she brushes the baby dragon.

Alicia’s clothes are also covered in mud, but she can go straight to the bathroom as long as she undresses, although in her case it’s a little bit of a hassle.

「…It seems like Sam-sama is not doing well these days. What’s the matter? Oh, did you fight with sister Lise?」

「No, I get along well with Lise-sama. I’m happy to see various aspects of her every day.」

「Oh my! So hot, I envy you. But then, why do you look so down?」

While washing the baby dragon, they continue their conversation.

「Am I that easy to understand?」

「Yes, you look very confused and listless.」

Alicia’s speech has increased since the arrival of the little dragons at the house.

Alicia was very lively as she talked with the baby dragons friendly as if she had more siblings.

The little dinosaurs seemed to like Alicia very much, and she was treated as if she were their big sister.

Sam and Alicia, who are somehow liked and missed by these little dragons, have more opportunities to be together in this way, and they talk a lot.

When they first met, Alicia had hidden behind Lise and said she was not good with men, but now, as if it was a lie, she was friendly to her.

Sam was honestly happy to see the change in Alicia.

「Actually, tomorrow I’m going on a blind date with Magnolia-sama’s granddaughter, Hanae-sama.」

Alicia looked convinced by Sam’s weak voice.

「Your blind date is tomorrow, isn’t it?」

「Yes, that’s why I’m in a bit of a bind.」

「By the way, mother told me you were engaged to Stella-sama?」

「Yes, before I knew it.」

Alicia replied with a sigh and looked into Sam’s face as she moved the brush.

「Are you dissatisfied?」

Sam shook his head.

「I have no complaints. Stella-sama is a hardworking and respectful person. I’m not sure if I’m not good enough for her, or not. I felt bad for Lise-sama.」

「I don’t think my sister cares too much about it. Of course, she might be jealous, but she is the daughter of a nobleman. Besides, it’s not as if Sam has been dishonest, and I don’t think she cares too much.」

「That’s true, but…」

「…I’m a little jealous though.」

「Alicia-sama?」

Sam tilted her head at Alicia, who muttered that she was jealous.

She smiled and continued her words. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

「I can see that you love sister Lise very much, Sam-sama. That makes me envy her a little, as a fellow woman.」

「I see…Excuse me, but doesn’t Alicia-sama have someone for you?」

Come to think of it, Sam had never heard of Alicia having a fiancée or a lover.

Alicia responded to Sam’s question with a slight blush.

「I’m not very good with men…but, um, there is someone I’m interested in.」

「――Hee.」

Frankly, it was surprising.

As Alicia said, he knew she was not good with men.

It was surprising that she had such a person that she was interested in.

(We’ll have to see what kind of man Alicia-sama is interested in.)

Sam raised her guard to see if any insolent person was approaching their precious family.

「He listens to me very carefully. He is a kind and single-minded person. If only that person had felt the same way about me――I can’t help but think that it would be a little bad.」

Alicia sounded like a maiden in love.

Sam guessed. Alicia was more than just interested in him, she had feelings for him.
