　The stone shattered, and the blue powder spread out forming a magic circle.

“Okay, the gate is complete. Let’s go home and move to the next one.” (Bud)

“”Yes.”” (Carl and Tryst)

　That said, Bud and his party disappeared while stepping inside the pale magic circle.

　It looks like an item to get out of the labyrinth.

　I also stepped inside and soon I found myself at the entrance of the labyrinth just after a short flash of white.

“Thank you for your hard work. If you like, let’s dive together again! This time, I’ll capture it properly with Kaoru.” (Bud)

“We’ll keep waiting.” (Carl)

“You are always welcome.” (Tryst)

“Well, if I feel like it.”

　I broke up Bud’s party and went back to the clinic.

　Is it just before noon?

　Well, that dive ended pretty early.

“Well, my level didn’t go up.”

　My level remained at level 1 despite defeating the boss.

　I opened the door of the clinic while scratching my head.

　Then, I heard a sobbing voice from the living area.

　I wonder what is happening so I ran for the living area.

“Oi, Alicia? What’s wrong?”

“Well, Kaoru-sama… Uuuu, waaaah.” (Alicia)

　Alicia is crying for some reason.

　So, I proceed to rub Alicia’s back even without knowing what the reason is.

　Alicia hugs me back and sobs.

“It’s going to be okay… Come on, you can tell me anything.”

“Uh… I… I’m going crazy.” (Alicia)

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“Waa, my status is broken.” (Alicia)

　I couldn’t understand what Alicia was saying.

　So I embrace her a little tighter.

“Waa, Kaoru-sama will hate me. I’m… I’m an abnormal person.” (Alicia)

“Alicia, don’t talk about yourself like that.”

“I don’t know what happened… When m level went up, my MP suddenly went up by 10,000 points.” (Alicia)

“……eh?”

“So, this time, Kaoru-sama and your party raised my level in the labyrinth… Every time I leveled up, my MP increased by about 10,000 every time.” (Alicia)

“Um… How much has your level gone up this time?”

“I went up about 7 levels…” (Alicia)

“Is it okay if a person’s MP increases by 70,000 all at once?”

“Yes… I… I might not be human though.” (Alicia)

　“I see.” I solemnly replied.

　It seems that the anxiety from the possibility that I might dislike her was quite huge.

　She talks to me while her body shakes uncontrollably.

　However, I was aware of the cause of the sudden rise in MP.

　“I’m probably at fault.” I decide to say.

　I was scratching my head while beads of unpleasant sweat dotted my brow.

“Alicia…”

“Ka-kao…” (Alicia)

“I’m sorry. I’m probably at fault.”

“Eh?” (Alicia)

　Alicia suddenly stared blankly at me.

　The situation made me scratch my head.

　I was told by Diarra-san before.

　It is said that MP is generated from a person’s heart and spreads throughout the body.

　So, when I made Alicia’s heart, I hadn’t been able to control my mana yet.

　Therefore, the heart from [Organ Synthesis] used for Alicia has the property of my huge MP capacity.

　In short, it was cultivated by making excessive MP.

　And I couldn’t predict this situation because I only used [Analyze] to gather information about Alicia’s life.

　And that skill only gives me the information I wanted to know.

“Is it because of Kaoru-sama?” (Alicia)

“Maybe, No,  I definitely think so.”

“Ummm. But what do you mean?” (Alicia)

“To be honest, I think it was because I made Alicia’s heart using my MP…”

“So, is that why this happened?” (Alia)

“Hmm, you know that my MP is much, much higher than any normal person, right?”

“I can understand it now somehow.” (Alicia)

“If I could have controlled it before like how I could now, this wouldn’t have happened…”

“Is it okay to say that this MP contains Kaoru-sama’s mana?” (Alicia)

　I nodded to her words.

　Then, Alicia’s expression brightened.

　And her cheeks are tinged red.

　While I was looking at her, she then put her hand over her heart.

　Closing her eyes probably feeling her heartbeat.

“Uh, Alicia?”

“Somehow… I’m no longer worried. To think Kaoru-sama’s mana is flowing inside… And coming from my heart… I’m kind of special, aren’t I?” (Alicia)

“Well, it’s embarrassing to hear while you are directing such a smile towards me.”

“Ehehe. It seems like a lie that I was quite worried until a while ago. Everything feels very warm.” (Alicia)

“Maybe it’s just for now, but I think it might increase more you gain more level in the future.”

“I’m kind of happy to hear that. It’s the same as Kaoru-sama.” (Alicia)

　Alicia looks at me with a lovely smile.

　How can she be this cute?

　I also have to teach Alicia about magic control.

　Problems are starting to pile up.

　However, the fun things have increased.

　It’s no longer a shot in the dark to make Alicia’s dream of becoming the best healer come true.

　I hugged Alicia again.

“Well… do you regret it?”

“At first, I was scared because I didn’t know how it happened. But, when I realized it was because of Kaoru-sama’s magical power, I fell in love with the idea.” (Alicia)

“How, can you say something adorable?”

“Ehehe. If you keep petting me, I might talk more.”

　So I kept stroking Alicia.

　I kept petting her is because do not want her to realize how embarrassed I was.

　Alicia still notices it and teased me, but I know how to fight back.

　With my secret technique of “Tickle Hell”, Alicia was completely defeated.
