Chapter 69. Space Magic: Gate

"Kurt! Where were you?!"

After a period of time, both of us finally returned to the veggie stall. And upon our return, the anxious Alice shouted back, demanding an answer with all her might.

"W-Well, Alice, Miria hurt herself a bit, so both of us went to the healer to heal it."

"Then why did you leave me? I wanted to go to the healer as well."

To her question, I narrated whatever came to mind. But that excuse didn't work well on the stubborn Alice. How could this excuse not work on her?

"T-That… There was an emergency. Look how tired Miria is!"

Listening to my words, Alice turned her head to look at Miria. Her straight maid dress was crumpled, her hair was in a mess, unlike before, and her breaths were heavier than usual. But in the midst of all these differences, her eyes were particularly concentrated on Miria's face, especially near her lips, where she could see something white stuck near them.

"That white thing stuck near her lips; what is it?"

White thing! I turned around and saw it… Some of my cum stuck from the previous endeavor. Miria, who heard it, also became flustered but took the action quickly. She stepped forward and answered Alice.

"This is the medicine for my injury, see?"

And she took out her tongue and went on to wipe her lips, moving them lasciviously. She answered Alice, but her actions clearly showed who it was intended to be. Damn! This girl…

'Let's return to the inn. I will show it.'

And my piercing carnivorous eyes made the maid tingly shiver in anticipation of what she was about to get from her master tonight. Truly, what a pervert she is!

…

After so many days, the reason I came to Els Federation is now complete. The Kurt Company is established, though business is yet to start. I recruited an excellent business manager for the company who also happens to be my father-in-law. 

A company, a manager, and a bride. I got more than I imagined.

But the time is here to return. Or else my mother will not let me easily. In history, it is natural that most nobles have patriarchal settings with males in authority. How come the head of the family, the male, is useless in this one?!

"Apart from finances, that old man is really better at nothing."

And this return also comes with surprises. A new member has been added. Glenn Corner and his family will come back with me to shift to Earlshide. Since now he will work for me, it is necessary for both of us to have good communication. And apart from business, Alice is now engaged to me. It is natural for her to stay and spend her time with me.

With all this in consideration, Glenn decided to move permanently to Earlshide. I didn't find any issues, and I welcomed them with all my heart.

Miria packed all of our clothes a day ago, and there was nothing left to pack. Glenn and her wife packed all their essentials and sold the house to earn some capital to buy a home in Earlshide. But I doubt that would be a problem. I can at least buy a house for my in-laws.

"Don't forget, I am a bona fide second generation. With my rich father, money is nothing but dirt to me."

I always wanted to say that. With packed bags, all of them were ready. But all of them were confused about why, instead of taking a carriage, we were standing in front of their sold house. Well, that's because I wanted to test a new magic spell this time.

"Magic? I want to see it!"

Alice started to shout excitedly. For children like her who grew up with the heroic tales of the Sage and the Guru, magic is the most sought-after thing for them. Alice hasn't started her magic because of her parents' worries about danger, so she wanted to see the real thing with her eyes.

"Is it safe?"

Glenn was a bit nervous and afraid about me trying to cast a new spell. Though he understood my extraordinariness, he still had some doubts about me and the new spell. After all, magic is not a game.

"Of course. Don't worry!"

Whom is he underestimating? With magic circuits, I don't have any limitations binding me now. Magic power moved towards my hands and started to accumulate in front of me. And with a mixture of mana and imagination, a violet circle formed on it.

The circles expanded, and soon a violet-coloured rectangular portal formed in front of me. This rectangular portal isn't some normal wall; it is a door. A door connecting fabrics of space. This is the magic used by the protagonist - Gate!

"Master, this…"

"Go through it."

Miria gulped a bit, but her faith in me was unwavering. She took a step and entered the portal. She closed her eyes out of instinct, but as she opened them, surprise was written on her eyes.

"This place… It is the Ritzburg mansion!"

Just a second ago, she was in the Els Federation, a nation away from home. And now? She is back in less than a second. Soon after her, the Corner family also appeared through the portal, followed by me.

"Kurt, this magic... is it teleportation?!"

Just like Miria, Glenn was shocked as well. In his years as a merchant, he has seen many spells, but nothing like this.

"No, it isn't teleportation, but something similar to it. Instead of teleporting the object, I connected the desirable places instead."

"..."

'Obviously, you didn't understand a bit.'

Even the Sage couldn't understand at a glance; how could you all do it?

"Well, don't ponder about it. It's simple magic. Come on, I will introduce you to my parents."

…

Simple magic? Glenn, who witnessed it, paled when Kurt scoffed at it as simple. Only he could see the worth and bigger uses of such magic. Just like the concept of subspace bags, this magic is also a revolution in itself!

With such magic, distances can be reduced and time can be saved. To transport goods, to supply ammunition in wars, to travel around… This magic is truly unbelievable.

Seeing such magic from Kurt only made Glenn more confident in his decision to marry off Alice to him, even as a concubine.

'Kurt Von Ritzburg, this boy will shake up the world!'

Now, he had no more doubts about the boy in front of him. And his heart also sped up, realizing he had made a bond with such a being.
