Chapter 11 (2/2)

Entertaining the spirits seems pretty difficult.

Also, to provide entertainment to the degree of leaving your name in history, it seems too troublesome.

If the degree of difficulty was lower, I would’ve liked to try to get the blessing and see the spirits.

Of course, that plan is now abandoned.

「What a shame, I wanted to see the spirits」

I deflated onto my desk.

「Don’t be too disappointed, while you may not be able to see the spirits, you should be able to feel them. When you use magic you will be able to sense the changes in the air, and the spirits will change as the air changes」

I raised my body from the desk.

「Then, that means if you don’t use magic and the air changes then a spirit is nearby?」

「That is correct, however in your case Liliana-sama, you should be naturally blessed when the time comes」

I don’t need that kind of comforting.

Even if you say that, I won’t get a big head.

I know my current place.

Thus, I shall put all of my efforts into sensing the spirits.

In my previous life, feeling a chill go up my back like a ghost was there scared me. I wonder if it is something like that?

Anyone can get that kind of feeling.

Well, I think it would be bad to put ghosts and spirits in the same category.

「I’m just wonder but, when did you get your seals removed Liliana-sama? I always feel the presence of magic flowing out of you…」

Seals? What is that??

「Magic is the power that grants wishes, it is your desires. When you are an infant, you are a bundle of desires yet you have no ego yet. Since you do not know what is the difference between right and wrong the magic can go out of control. The higher the magical power of the child, the larger the damage. The seals were created in order to prevent this problem」

「The certainly sounds like a dangerous situation」

Being a child, you get hungry and sleepy. A ma.s.s of the three great desires. (Food, sleep,s.e.x)

If something like that used magic, it would be way too scary.

In my case though, I get frustrated thinking that if I had been able to use magic then I might have been able to avoid that shameful era of diapers.

Don’t remember it! Bury your dark history, Liliana!!

「Seals tend to be in the form of daily accessories, once the baby grows in body and mind the seals will be removed when they learn to control their magic. Those who still use their magic unconsciously or can’t control it keep the seals on for their entire life」

「Ah, you mean like the earrings mother and father wear?」

Since those two are always lovey dovey, they have a pair of matching earrings.

The stone in each earring also matches the others eye color, you can tell that they are custom made. Being poor n.o.bles they always wearing simple clothing, causes those earrings to always stand out. Well, the earrings really do suit those two, it is more like the simple clothing that is out of place.

「Those are not seals. Those earrings are a sign of marriage, each side gets one part of a pair in order to represent their marriage」

I guess it’s like a wedding ring from my past life.

Even in this house of poverty, I guess father spent quite a bit of money on it.

「Seals will be accessories other than earrings, such as necklaces or bracelets−」

「Ah−−−−−−!!」

I’ve remembered!

When I had become a newborn, after I had pa.s.sed out in surprise there was a necklace place on me.

Once I became 7 and was able to properly speak, I remember mother saying something like ‘Liliana-chan doesn’t need this anymore’, and took it off.

I just thought it was p.a.w.ned off in order to pay off a debt.

However, if that was a seal, then it was removed before I even learned how to control magic.

If I took one wrong step, wouldn’t it have been a disaster!?

Mother−−−−−−!!

I understand that you are a playful person, but I don’t think this is at the level of just playful.

It’s been a year since it was removed.

Well done staying safe, me! Good job!

「I have an idea of what it was, I had a necklace when I was little. It was removed by my mother when I turned 7. I was given no knowledge of magic, isn’t this dangerous? Sirius-sensei??」

Sirius-sensei had a surprised face for a moment but then went back to his normal stoic face.

「……This was something your mother did, I’m sure there was some reason for it. Well done on staying safe for a year. It would be good to learn everything about magic as soon as possible」

Since sensei had been silent for so long, I a.s.sume that this is definitely important.

It is the top priority to learn magic for my own safety.

「Sensei, thank you for your guidance!」

Huh?

We talked about demiG.o.ds, spirits, and seals, yet we haven’t touched anything about magic yet??
