Lowell’s Observational Diary

(Written by Belle Zvalle)

Lowell, 3 months old

Our Little Elle shows signs of being a Spatial Magician. It might be good and bad one at the same time. I hope we could raise her properly. To inhibit her unconscious use of her magic, we used a Magic Regulator that regularly saps mana to normal levels so she can’t use her magic. The absorption also enlarges her mana veins at the same time.

Little Elle starts to speak little by little! I’m so proud that her first words are ‘Mama’. Her ‘Papa’ was so jealous, so he carried her until she cried. I gave him a big scolding afterwards. Don’t be so forceful dear~

Little Elle’s now learning to speak other words. But when we’re not looking, she goes towards her father’s library and get some basic books. She may not understand it, but I’d like her to stay like that than follow my past occupation as an adventurer. She looks cute too.. Reading a book that’s placed on the floor which is almost same of her size..

Little Elle starts to walk a little. She stumbles a lot, but it’s a part of learning to walk. It’s just so cute when she stumbles and tries to stand again.. After learning how to walk, she always follow me around. What a very curious daughter.. but I find it cute though..

Little Elle celebrated her birthday yesterday. We invited people around the village. Seeing how beautiful my daughter is, they started to offer their sons for marriage. Most of the kids were exhausted by my overactive daughter but one kid manages to keep up with her. If I recall, it was Weiss Lear, the third son of the Blanc City’s ruling noble. Weiss and Lowell were also at the same age according to his butler. People say that they play normally, but what I see is that Weiss is being pulled by my daughter according to her whims and wishes. Stay strong, Weiss.

By the way, most of the gift given to her are dolls, but when she opened one present with a picture book, she gleefully walks around while holding it, making her stumble a lot. My daughter’s love for books doesn’t match her outgoing attitude, I think..

After a that day of her first birthday, Weiss and his butler frequently visits us. Weiss plays with Little Elle normally now, but sometimes I still see Little Elle teasing Weiss. Maybe I should scold my daughter a little.

Now, she starts to eat by her self. Her way of eating ruins her beautiful image. My Little Elle, please be more graceful, for you and your mom’s sake.

We started to hire a tutor for her reading and writing studies.I was against it at first, since most of children learn to read and write at the age of five to seven, but we saw Little Elle’s determination to read because she frequently looks at the language book stored in our private library. Before that, we consulted a magical doctor to check on Little Elle. What he said is: “I think because of early development of her Mana veins, it affected her mental processes, making her comprehension more developed than the children of her age. Since the main factor for harnessing Mana is the brain, it develops faster when its being frequently used.”

Maybe because I let her wear the Magic Regulator too much… It can’t be helped, I’m scared of what would happen if she use that skill unconsciously and goes outside our house again..

Little Lowell’s progress is terrifying.. She could read after one month we hired her a tutor, and another month for writing. Now, her tutor consulted me that if I wanted, she could also teach her elementary magic. All Fleurs can use the Four Elemental Magic : ‘Fire’, ‘Earth’, ‘Water’, and ‘Air’. Mysterious Magics like ‘Spatial’, ‘Life’, ‘Light’, and ‘Darkness’ are still mysterious because only people with inborn talents are the only ones who could use it.

‘Spatial’ is the most mysterious because how it works is still unknown even to some spatial magic users. ‘Life’ is manipulation of living things. The only restriction for this is if the user’s race is the same as his target and if the mana of the target is higher than the user. ‘Light’ is manipulation of light. Most light-users are excellent supports because of their ability to blind opponents and make barriers for their allies. Their only weakness is night time. ‘Darkness’ is manipulation of darkness and shadows. They are exellent assassins with the ability of covert killing during the night. Their weakness is the day.

I agreed, but I asked her to only teach her three elemental magic: Water, Air, and Earth. Fire could be learn later because it’s the most exhausting and harmful elemental magic. I don’t want Little Elle overexert and hurt herself.

…..

Belle was holding a pen and jolting down something in her diary. She stopped midway and pondered.

“Hmm, what should I write..”

Bu before she could think of it, a loud bang surrounded the house, it was the sound of the door after slammed shut. A happy voice of a little girl and a man sounded afterwards.

“Mom~! We’re home!”

“Honey, we’re home!”

Now, even Little Elle inherits her father’s bad habit. I need to scold this Father and Daughter duo.. But first..

Belle closes the diary and walks toward her family. She smiled and said:

“Welcome back~!”
