“Can you feel magic energy?”

“…Kind of.”

She doesn’t sound too sure.

This was probably a mistake on my part.
She felt magic energy, so I figured she completely understood it, but I guess I was wrong.

“Let’s stop.”

“Stop?”

“Yes, let’s take a short break and gather our thoughts.”

I let go of her hands, and we sit side by side.

The problem is that she doesn’t really grasp… Doesn’t really feel the magic energy, I think.
I’m pretty sure.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the way I do it?”

“I might have been going about this the wrong way.
Can you feel magic energy on your own?”

Mia closes her eyes and focuses, and I use Magic Energy Detection to see her magic energy.

I can see it on her belly, near her belly button.
What some people call a focus point.

“Do you know where you can feel magic energy the most?”

Mia hesitates for a moment, but points at her heart, and then traces down to her belly.
I can see she isn’t very sure.

“Can I touch where I felt magic energy right now?”

I ask first.
If I touch her all of a sudden she might scream, and that would be a disaster.

“Yes, go ahead.”

“All right then.”

I touch her just below the belly button and she flinches, but doesn’t say anything.
I get it, this is a pretty risqué spot.

“I think it’s where I’m touching now.
Can you tell?”

“…Yes, if I focus, I think I feel something.”

“Then try focusing here.”

“Ah, stay there.”

I’m about to pull away, but she stops me.
If someone saw this, they’d report me for sure.
I really wish no one comes here, in more ways than one.

It’s silent.
All I hear is Mia’s breathing.

I need to look calm, because I don’t want her to get flustered.
Although when I get nervous and press her a little hard, she lets out a kind of lewd sigh.
It feels soft.
Ah, but I’m not calling her belly flabby or anything.

What are you thinking, me? Just focus on seeing her magic energy.

It doesn’t move at first, but eventually I feel her magic energy moving a little.
It goes up to her belly button, and then goes down again.

That’s enough for Mia to seem tired, with sweat welling up on her forehead.

“It’s hard, but I feel like I can feel magic energy better than before.”

But I can see she’s not satisfied.

“Can we do it again?”

Mia timidly asks after a small break.

She’s full of motivation, so sure.

And we don’t end with just one more try, we do it a few more times.
We keep going because she’s gradually moving her magic energy more and more.

But as a result, Mia is now lying on my bed, and I can hear her sleeping.

I don’t feel like waking her up, so I guess I’ll have to sleep on the floor.

Geez, it’s hard to sleep with this hard feeling on my back.
Using Earth Magic while camping outside would probably make something more comfortable than this.
But eventually, I do fall sleep.
