Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

My god~ This is amazing... Isn't this... my Palico?! (Flips table)

Aibo finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He confirmed again and again that the characteristics of the transcendent beings in this world were exactly the same as those of his own cat.

How come he didn't know his cat was so powerful? Could it even decide a person's life or death? Are the people in this world suffering from some kind of serious illness?

But he also learned one thing from this: this world allows races with magical power within them to unleash magic, and the reason he couldn't use it was definitely because he hadn't found the right method.

Then Abbott devoted himself to research for another week and finally came to a conclusion that made him unable to hold back—the reason he could not use the magic in his body was because he had too much magic.

Magic is extremely scarce in the air of this world, creating a very unique "magic pressure effect." As we all know, air flows from high-pressure to low-pressure areas due to pressure differences.

But magic is different. Magic has a unique "attraction" characteristic. Magic will naturally gather from places with low concentration to places with high concentration.

This is why people with strong magic power have a special magical aura. It's not magic power that overflows from their bodies, but rather magic power that naturally gathers around them.

The magic in this world is constantly decreasing, which is most likely due to this reason; the magic in this world may have been absorbed by something else.

Then, because there is no magic in the air of this world, the enormous "atmospheric pressure" (let's just call it atmospheric pressure) severely suppressed Abbot's magic within his body.

The cats that have surpassed others are probably unaffected because their magic is too weak.

After figuring this out, Abbot was speechless. He now had two ways to solve this problem.

One is to use his potion-making skills, which he hasn't practiced in a long time, to develop a drug that can balance "magic pressure," which will likely allow him to use magic freely for a period of time.

As for the second one... it might be simpler: upgrade his [Magic Control LV3] to LV4 to improve his control over magic, which should break through this limitation.

Actually, when Abbot upgraded his spatial magic to level 4, he didn't use any Inspiration Points, so he still had quite a lot left. He currently has over 500,000 Inspiration Points.

至于那几个技能的进度...【光魔法LV3：42.1%】、【附加魔法LV3：14.9%】、【魔力控制LV3：53.7%】

He originally planned to use Inspiration Points to upgrade Light Magic first, then Enhancement Magic. He didn't plan to use Inspiration Points for Magic Control, intending to grind it up little by little.

But now... it seems plans are not keeping up with changes.

But it doesn't matter. There are still many people waiting for me in another world. Staying in this world will stagnate the growth of my magic power and physique. Now is not the time to be stingy with these inspiration points!

Deep Blue, give me some points!

Hmm! Ughhhhh!

The precious inspiration turned into warm experience points, and Aibo's magic control successfully broke through to level 4!

To Aibo's surprise, the forced breakthrough didn't feel like anything special; it was an improvement with zero side effects!

Moreover, the magic within my body can finally move!

Abbott felt that he now controlled magic with ease, and the precision of his magic usage had improved to a terrifying level. He could even distinguish the slightest difference between different types of magic.

In the music field, there's a term called "perfect pitch," and I feel like I now have "perfect magic" too.

He can now calculate the amount of magic power within his body without even looking at the system panel: [16762/30977]

Damn it, the half of the magic I gave to the Thought Entity two weeks ago has only recovered a tiny bit now. Magic is really scarce in this world.

But whatever, let the world do whatever it wants, I'm not playing along!

Abbott excitedly found Lisanna:

"Lisanna! Elbow! Let's go home!"

"Abbot, you...you've found a way back?"

"Of course! Don't you know who I am? Let's go to the capital, wait for the Anima to activate, and then go home together!"

But Lisanna's expression was a little strange. She hesitated, looking very conflicted, and finally lowered her head to ask:

"Abbot, will you ever be able to return to this world again?"

"Why do you ask that? But don't you know who I am? I'm the genius Abbott. I've already marked this world. Once I've thoroughly researched that warp magic called Anima, coming back won't be difficult. What's wrong?"

"Really!? Then...then..."

Lisanna hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Then I want to stay here a little longer, Abbott. I can't leave this world like this for my sister and brother... they... they won't be able to bear it..."

"What did you say!?"

Chapter 88 The Disobedient Younger Sister

Abbot was so angry he almost lost his temper.

He risked his life to teleport to this wretched place, and then painstakingly researched the way home for two weeks. What was it all for?!

All I wanted was to bring Lisanna back safely, and this idiot is telling me she doesn't want to leave anymore?!

If their relationship weren't already at that level, Abbott would definitely have slapped Lisanna to wake her up.

"Lisanna! Now is not the time for you to be willful! Yes, Mira and Elfman in this world are pitiful, but they are ultimately not from our world!"

Have you forgotten that your older sister and brother are waiting for you to come home?! How can you say such things to them?!

Abbott took a deep breath, realizing he had been a bit too harsh. He knew Lisanna was kind-hearted, so it wasn't surprising she would make such a decision. In that case, let him be the villain.

"Fine, I'll go tell them right now that you're not Lisanna from this world, and then you'll come back with me right now!"

"No! Abbot! Don't go! Please!"

Lisanna clung tightly to Abbott, tears streaming down her face.

"I know! I know my decision is impulsive! But, but I really can't bear to see them in this world go through that kind of pain again. And Abbo, can't you go back to this world?"

Next time, next time I'll go back with you, okay? Give me a little more time, I'll handle this! Please, Abbot.

Abbott's expression was gloomy:

"I promised your sister I would take you back. If you don't want to, I'll knock you out and take you away!"

“Ebo…”

"Let go! There's no room for negotiation!"

"Abbot, I like you!"

"Song-ha!?"

Abbott jolted awake, his eyes clearing instantly. He turned around abruptly with a look of utter disbelief and saw Lisanna blushing as red as a monkey's bottom, her gaze darting away, avoiding his eyes.

Because this world lacks magic, Abbott's telepathic magic couldn't take effect passively, so he deliberately eavesdropped on Lisanna's thoughts...

No waste of time! That's the truth!!

Good heavens, what's going on? When did Lisanna start liking me? I've never "heard" her think about it before.

Besides, I only like older sister types, I'm not really into younger sister types. More importantly, what if Mira finds out about this? Will she kill me?

Aibo's mind was in turmoil.

Lisanna suppressed the shame of confessing to her brother, who was three years younger than her, and secretly looked up. She then saw Abbot's incredulous and life-doubting expression.

Lisanna pouted and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry, Abbot, I gave up on that unrealistic idea a long time ago, so you don't need to feel bothered. Actually, I know you like my sister, right? Every time I'm with my sister, you never look at me, but that's normal. Who wouldn't like Mila?"

My older sister is so outstanding. She's incredibly capable, a whiz at housework, and beneath her strong exterior lies a very gentle personality… From childhood to adulthood, she's always protected me so well. I've always been like an extra, always so insignificant. In that family, I was never needed…”

"You idiot! Do you know what you're saying?! Do you know that when you disappeared your sister—"

"I know! I've always known, of course I know my sister loves me! How could I not know!"

Lisanna was almost hoarse from shouting, but this only made her look more vulnerable.

"But! That doesn't change the fact that I'm just a useless younger sister who needs to be protected by her older sister. I... I don't want to be like this..."

But, but... Abbot, do you know? The sister in this world is different. The sister Mila in this world isn't as strong or as resilient. She's gentler, more fragile, and... needs me more.

Abbott, do you understand? The sister in this world needs me! And I can help her!

That's why I want to stay for a while. I can't just leave like this. Even if it's just once, I want to help my sister. So... Abbott, I..."

"...But your real sister needs you now too."

Lisanna wiped away her tears and forced a smile:

"But I'm still alive, aren't I? I'll write to my sister and explain the situation; she'll definitely understand. And then... then... I might need to trouble you, Abbot, to come back and take me back again."

"Hehehe, the all-powerful Abbot wouldn't refuse such a small request from a girl who's always had a crush on you, would he? I know this request is a bit much, but you're Abbot, there's nothing Abbot can't do, right?"

"Heh, do you think I'll agree to your request just because you say a few nice words?"

Abbott expressionlessly shook off Lisanna and turned to leave.

"You can stay in this world alone! I'll go back by myself! Then I'll tell your sister you're dead! You heartless little thing! Humph!"

Lisanna reached out her hand, then lowered it with a wry smile. She knew that Abbot had agreed to her request; Abbot was such a soft-hearted person, she knew him all too well.

She always knew that Abbott was the one who had taken care of her family of three, and that her family could never repay Abbott's kindness.

It was only when facing Abbot that she dared to make such an outrageous request.

The consequence is... Abbot probably hates me now, and there's no chance for us anymore...

But it's for the best, isn't Abbott a better match for her sister? I'm just an insignificant younger sister. Even without this incident, I probably would have found a way to leave the guild anyway...

That's good, that's good...

"Is this really okay? Abbott looks really angry."

"who!?"

Lisanna, who was secretly wiping away tears, was so startled that she almost jumped up. Then, she turned around and saw a tall, beautiful girl with long, straight blue hair peeking out from the corner.

"Wen... Wendy!? You... what are you doing here? You heard everything just now!?"

"Haha, sorry, I... I didn't want to hear it either, but you don't have to worry about me telling anyone. I've known for a long time that you're not from this world."

Big Wendy carefully hugged Lisanna:

"While I appreciate that you're willing to stay for Mira and the others, is this really a good idea? You two were arguing so fiercely just now."

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh... I... I'll slowly confess to Mira in this world. I still have to go back to that world eventually. I just wanted to spend more time with them, and I also wanted to protect my sister this time..."

"Sigh~ What a mess this is, but I'll support you! If that Aibo can really come back to this world, it's not a big problem, is it?"

By the way, this Abbot is so amazing! Could you tell me what kind of person Abbot is in the other world? I'm really curious!

"Haha, you've come to the right person! Nobody knows Abbott better than me! Let me tell you, Abbott, from a young age..."

By some twist of fate, Lisanna and Wendy became best friends who could talk about anything. They talked through the night, laughing and crying, and slept side by side.

When Lisanna woke up the next day and saw Abbot standing in front of her, she was completely stunned:

"Ai, Ai Ai Ai Bo!?! You, what are you still here? Didn't you go back?"

Abbot glanced at Lisanna and snorted coldly:

"If I really go back, I don't know how much some people will cry!"

Lisanna felt very guilty:

"Abbot, you're not planning to wait for me to go back together, are you? That won't do! If you're gone for too long, my sisters will worry!"

"Oh? So now you realize someone's worried? But don't flatter yourself! I only left because I know the kingdom activates Anima once a month and I can't leave for two weeks, not because I was waiting for you!"

"Oh, I see. Haha, then I'll take care of Abbo for a while. Abbo can treat me like a maid~"

"Hmph ╯^╰ Who cares!"

Chapter 89 Return to Aislandon

"I say, why don't you have the surname Heartfilia, Miss Lucy Ashura?"

"That's because I don't get along with my mom! I have my dad's surname. What about you? My brother from another world, what's your surname?"

“I don’t have a surname, and I’m not your brother in my own world.”

"Huh?! Then why did you lie to me about helping you?! I got ripped off!"

"Oh, my dear Lucy, what are you saying? Aren't we friends?"

"..."
