After the door closed, the house became quiet.
Makoto leaned back on the sofa and looked at the four people remaining in the living room.
"A lot happened today. Everyone must be very tired, right?"
Makoto stood up from the sofa. "Get some rest early."
Yunyun, who was simple-minded, didn't say anything. She nodded, said "Makoto, you go to sleep early too," and went to her room.
She had cried the hardest today and was genuinely tired.
Hana had wanted to find another chance to talk to Makoto, but too much had happened today.
Besides, she had also consumed a fair amount of her magic power, and her eyelids were starting to droop.
After saying 'good night', she also dragged her feet to her room.
Tsuki began to clear the dishes and said gently, "Everyone, get some rest first. I'll wash the dishes."
She carried the stacked plates and bowls into the kitchen. The sound of the faucet turning on came from behind the door.
Tsuki and her youngest daughter, Yanagi, were in the best condition.
Neither of them had learned much magic to begin with.
Although they had been controlled by Maxwell earlier and had attacked Makoto and the others, they had basically just thrown clumsy punches and hadn't consumed much energy.
Yanagi didn't rush to her room. She stood up from the sofa, walked over to Makoto, sat down on the sofa armrest, and turned sideways to face him.
"Brother-in-law, can you teach me magic?"
Yanagi had the weakest talent among the three women and hadn't learned much magic yet.
But calling her weak wasn't quite accurate either. After all, she had only been in this world for less than a month.
"I already told you not to call me that... ah, forget it. Call me whatever you want." Makoto said, "I'm just a beginner at magic too. I probably don't have much to teach you."
Yanagi didn't mind. "I don't know anything. You've definitely learned more than me, brother-in-law."
Makoto had originally been thinking of going to find Mrs. Shizuka, but he smiled helplessly at her words.
Seeing that this girl was quite cute, he sat down and taught her.
These past few days, he had also had Yunyun teach him how to use magic. He understood how to learn it.
Of course, most of this world's magic wasn't very useful for enhancing Makoto's strength. He just thought it looked cool.
That move Yunyun had used when they first met to kill the Goblin Berserker, [Light of Saber], was pretty good.
After all, whether something is strong depends on the version, but whether it's cool lasts a lifetime.
Makoto began to teach Yanagi the basics.
"To learn magic, you first need to calm your mind and sense the source of magic power within your own body. First, sense the source of this power, then try to concentrate it."
He sat down cross-legged, held his breath and focused, and slowly raised his hand.
The tips of his five fingers released five completely different elements... wind, fire, water, lightning, earth...
The lights of the five colors danced at his fingertips, illuminating the living room with bright, varied colors.
The five basic elements. The introductory lesson for mages.
This process was quite similar to Chakra Training in the Naruto World... first sense, then concentrate, then release.
It was a pity that Megumi, Utaha, and the others weren't here. Otherwise, they would definitely learn very quickly.
Yanagi's small mouth opened in surprise. Her eyes reflected those colorful lights.
"That's amazing, brother-in-law! You actually have five different elemental attributes?!"
Makoto smiled slightly.
The main reason was that after obtaining the Rinnegan, he had awakened all Five Chakra Attributes. This trait had also been brought to the other world.
Originally, he only had wind, water, and fire attributes.
He gently shook his hand, withdrawing the elemental power. "Concentrating and releasing magic power is still too early for you. First, learn to sense the source of that magic power within your body."
Through Yunyun's explanations over the past few days, he had also learned that learning magic in this world was indeed quite similar to learning Ninjutsu in the Naruto world. The only difference was that one first senses Chakra, and the other first senses magic power.
Ordinary people needed several years of training before they could learn to release it. It was said that out of four hundred people, only three might become mages.
Someone like Hana, who had been able to initially master martial arts in less than a month after transmigrating, was already considered a genius.
Yanagi nodded, copied him by sitting down cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
Her brow was furrowed. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
It looked like she was really trying, but after just a few minutes, she started fidgeting.
She was, after all, just a high school girl.
"Calm down." Makoto reminded her.
Yanagi opened her eyes and pursed her lips slightly. "Brother-in-law, with you next to me, my heart feels a bit messy. I can't calm down."
Makoto blinked. "Then how about I go out?"
He had originally been thinking of calling Mrs. Shizuka over to the house, since Yu had already created space for him.
But seeing that this girl was still quite energetic and probably wouldn't be going to sleep anytime soon, it looked like he would have to go back to the alleyway.
"No." Yanagi shook her head. "If you leave, who will I ask when I have questions?"
Makoto suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, like a father tutoring his daughter on her homework. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Yanagi thought for a moment. "Let me lie down for a while. I'll rest and then practice again."
"Fine, fine."
Seeing that Makoto agreed, Yanagi tilted her head and lay down directly on Makoto's lap.
Makoto was stunned. He had thought this girl meant she wanted to lie down on the sofa.
Half a minute later, Yanagi suddenly spoke up: "Brother-in-law, your phone is digging into me."
Makoto: ...
"Girl, if you don't want something to happen, you'd better obediently go back to your room."
He wasn't like those dense male protagonists in harem anime who wouldn't budge even when the girl was stripped naked and lying in front of him. Of course, he realized that this girl was stirring up trouble.
He suddenly felt that Yanagi was actually a bit like Moeha. Both had little devil personalities, and both came with the little sister-in-law attribute.
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't know."
Yanagi tilted her little head and looked up at Makoto.
As she turned her head, her bangs swayed, vaguely revealing the same squinty eyes as her mother, Tsuki.
Makoto decided not to be polite with her anymore.
He directly unzipped his pants.
"Slap—"
It directly sprang and hit Yanagi's face.
Yanagi's breath caught.
'Th-this was too exaggerated, right?'
"Still not running?"
Makoto asked with amusement.
Yanagi pressed her lips together and didn't move.
Seeing that this girl was braver than he had expected, Makoto reached out, hooked her chin, lifted her head, then supported the back of her head and slowly pressed it down.
A few minutes later.
Tsuki shook the water off her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
"Finally finished washing. Did everyone go back to rest?"
Then she saw the scene in the living room—
Her younger daughter's head was going up and down, up and down.
A ferocious-looking dragon was vaguely visible in her mouth.
Tsuki was completely stunned. Her usually squinty eyes were wide open. The dishrag still in her hand slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor with a soft 'pat'.
'Wait... I had just gone to wash the dishes... what were these two doing?!'
