Level 1 Strongest Sage 1

Vol. 14 - Chapter 18 - Clan House Design (2/3)

“Wait, Halt, it’s becoming way too huge.”

Luke pointed out while looking at the clan house’s image.

“I don’t know how huge this clan house will turn out to be, half of the entire floor is too much.”

“We’re currently borrowing three rooms in this mansion, and that’s already plenty enough for us.”

Ryuushin and Hinata weren’t too keen on having too big of an area either, it seemed. By the way, the half-floor area that Halt proposed was already ten times bigger than the space the couples were currently staying in.

“Really? But you guys will have kids too, so I thought it’d be hard for you guys if the room isn’t big enough.”

“It’ll be tough to clean if it’s too wide.”

“That’s true, Luke-san has a hard time cleaning up, after all.”

“Ugh, so… s-sorry.”

Luke seemed dejected like a puppy that was scolded when Lielle mumbled that while looking at him coldly. Even a smart and handsome guy like him also had a weakness. He was devastatingly messy.

Everyone has their own rooms in Halt’s mansion. By the way, Mai and Mei also have their own personal rooms, but both of them preferred staying in Mai’s all the time. Some of the family members don’t use theirs except for sleeping.

Luke, Lielle, Ryuushin and Hinata also have their own rooms and one common room for each couple.

Lielle cleaned their couple's room so there wasn’t any problem with that, but Luke’s room was pure chaos. Lielle would try to enter it from time to time, apparently; however –

“I feel like I can come up with new spells if everything is scattered around me! Like, pieces of ideas become connected, kinda? Hey, Halt also knows what I mean, right?”

“Sorry, I don’t. I’m the type of guy who can think more if everything around me is organized.”

Halt is the type of person who constructs new magic spells through logical reasoning, while Luke is a so-called genius type who derives ideas through flashes of inspiration.

Luke expected Halt to be perfectly in sync with him, but the latter didn’t meet his expectation.

“A-are you for real?”

“See, I told you so. Even if you tidy your room, you’ll be able to conjure amazing spells just like Halt-san. After today’s meeting is over, I’m going to clean your room, okay.”

“Eh!? Today? W-Wait a bit more! I’m super close to completing the ultimate spell –”

“It’s already been three months since you said that. You really have to clean your room this time, Luke-san.”

Halt picked up a few words from Luke’s statement that bothered him, but it would divert the topic if he were to ask his best friend about it so he decided to just let it go for now.

“Back to the topic of the clan house – I think the floor area for Ryuushin and Luke is good if we consider the future. I’m gonna freeze the time with space-time magic in the rooms that we won’t use so you don’t have to clean them either.”

“...Hey, Halt, did you just say something cool right now?”

“Is half really not good?”

“That’s not it! What do you mean by space-time magic!? And what’s up with freezing the time in the rooms!?”

“Ah, about that, Luna and I developed that spell after studying the Magic Eye of Shin – a Holy Knight from Sanctum – and Akari’s Divine Eye.”

Halt nonchalantly explained that he created a magic that was originally impossible for humans to use. What he just did was replicate a god-tier skill through magic.

Halt had been replicating and recreating skills with magic for a long time already. An example would be the teleportation spell that he frequently used. Halt didn’t really understand the extent of what he was doing, but in reality, the Creator God could only clutch his head in dismay everytime he created a new spell.

“By the way, I also casted a spell on the mansion’s pantry so that time will slow down for all the things you put in it.”

“Huh?”

“Thanks to that spell, the ingredients keep longer. Thank you very much, Halt-sama.”

“Yeah, you’re welcome.”

Lielle seemed to recall a certain thing during our conversation.

“By the way, Halt-san, how did you come up with that time and space spell?”

"I pulled information from these old grimoires said to be from mythological times, figured out the spells I needed, and came up with counter-spells to prevent any side effects. And yeah, I did all this on a super tidy desk."

“See, that’s what I was talking about. Please clean your room, okay.”

“Y-Yeah. Got it….”

“You might get a flash of inspiration while cleaning up, so do your best, Luke!”

By the way, later on,, Luke actually came up with a new spell while he and Lielle were cleanign his room. However, it wasn't as impressive as Haruto's space-time magic, so it stayed under wraps for a while until Luke could come up with something more amazing.
