The Princess Sitting Next to Me is a Sweet Girlfriend Only in Front of Me
“Uh, hey! Hey!!”
“…Ah, ah—could it really be?”
After that, Fia tried to cast magic multiple times.
Each time, light overflowed from her palms, illuminating my face.
And yet, nothing changed.
The magic wasn’t having any effect on me.
After being hit with it several times, I somehow arrived at the reason.
“…Sorry, Fia. It seems like that magic doesn’t work on me.”
“N-no way… Why?”
Perhaps out of frustration, Fia looked up at me with teary eyes.
Even as she continued casting spells, there was no sign of my memories fading away.
“I’m unconsciously resisting it. Once a magician reaches a certain level of mastery, they can resist magic below their own skill level.”
“Eh, eh… What’s that…? I’ve never heard of that before.”
“It’s not common knowledge. Magicians who reach that level of mastery are rare, and besides, since they can’t defend against offensive magic, it’s not exactly a huge advantage.”
Offensive magic involves destruction.
Even if you can resist the magical effects, you can’t stop the physical destruction that comes with it, so it’s meaningless.
Therefore, in general, the only real benefit is resistance to mental manipulation magic.
“S-so… Can’t you just let it affect you?”
“It’s something I do completely unconsciously… Honestly, I don’t even know how to make it happen.”
If I had to say, maybe if a more powerful magician than me cast a spell, I wouldn’t be able to resist it.
But normally, that’s not an issue.
I don’t resist magic that’s beneficial to me.
For example, healing magic works just fine.
“In other words… Heim-kun’s… memories can’t be erased?”
“I assumed that since it’s royal family magic, it would break through unconscious resistance and work. Sorry, I didn’t think this far ahead.”
“…………”
Fia didn’t respond.
Is she angry?
Thinking that, I watched her silently.
“U-uuu… Uuuuuuhhh! Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!”
Fia burst into tears.
She collapsed onto the floor, bawling her eyes out.
“I-I’m so glad! I’m so glad! Because, because… I don’t want to erase Heim-kun’s memories! Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”
“A-ah, um, calm down, Fia!”
“Heim-kun! I won’t erase your memories! I’ll make sure you remember me forever! So, so we’ll stay together! Together, Heim-kun!”
“I get it, I get it, just please stop crying!”
“I’m so happy! Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”
She started crying even harder!?
After that, I spent some time trying to calm her down.
But honestly, it wasn’t an unpleasant feeling.
Seeing Fia cry out of relief made me feel a little relieved too.
Of course, I don’t want my memories erased either.
Man, but seriously… hearing all this… it’s hard not to misunderstand her feelings.
She’s such a troublemaker, Fia.
