Chapter 22 (2/2)

Kyle, seeing that I was reaching out ot close to me and smacked me in the hand

「No, you see, I can't really read what's written on this thing all that well, so I thought itand see what it does Who know, it ht not even activate, so maybe it's just broken?」

「Don't try to play with so does!」

「Haha, I'ument made lot of sense, so ed to get the best ofto put the beads back where they belonged, the chain connecting thehten around my wrist and I also noticed that the faint letter were now perfectly visible and black in color

「Wha?」

Noticing that soet close to ic circle appeared all aroundthe world in front of o pure-white

「Whoa!?」

At that moment I understood that e a to burst out ofbarrier around the beads, I heard a disturbing sound

I forcibly restricted the flow ofin the same way as if I wanted to cut myself from the leyline's influence

When I finished with that, a few , but this incident ed to surprise me soslightly overwhel and ed

「Well, it surely was a surprise, no?」

I was afraid that theyterrible has happened or that I made some kind of ely high pitch of my own voice

Why is my body wrapped in so much cloth?

「…… Lava?」

「Ohh, I'm terribly sorry,up What did I do? And why do you look so shocked?」

「La, La, La, La, Lava's, Lava's body is, it's shrinking……!!!」

「Huh?」

The look on both Nectar and Kyle's faces was genuinely freaking me out, until I finally realized what really happened

The fact that not until a while agoperfect

The fact that ht seemed to be unusually low

I think it is fairly safe to assume that I have indeed shrunk

「Oi, oi, what's this?」

My clothes, unable to fitatperfectly on one of thehtokay? Are you hurt anywhere!?」

「Yeah, it's okay,to be worried about」

With Nectar's help I stood up, and I admired just how calm I was about this whole situation

「You seee of seven years old, your hair seems to be thinner and softer than nor at such delicate and pretty appearance feels your chest with this strange war of 'ht awaken so new inside of me! Oh, I'm sorry, Lava! This cannot be, first of all we need to procure soo to ination, or is Nectar looking at me in a rather funny way? Like I was some kind of a tasty piece of meat?

He lifted ht at all, and I could only watch with an angry expression how Nectar drew his face closer toheavily At the same ti in his hands, and……

THWACK----!!!

「Oh, hell no! Hold right there, you fng degenerate!」

Harrisen (that large paper fan that you can soa, it's really painful to be hit by that thing, trust me) fell down in a clear arch…… andsound

So, I was so up after being struck by this enormous object But before he could fully recover frorabbed hi, Lavdono, please change your clothes There should be some of my shi+rts in that drawer over there In theto have a nice little chat」

「Umm, yeah, thanks a lot」

I nodded at Kyle and moved towards the drawers, while he took Nectar and the two of them disappeared into another room

I tried to put one of Kyle's shi+rts on, but thanks to ood minutes to accomplish this task

In addition, since Kyle's physique was quite broad, his shi+rt was still way too big for me

And his shi+rt was in no way cute It was soiven that you had no alternative at hand

Even so, while struggling with ed to roll up the sleeves to a point where I could see my own hands, and tied it aroundaround

Later, the two men came back to the room

However,

「The proble about here Even if she becoe in her true nature That's right, since this is Lava, nothing really changes」

Whereas Nectar's eyes were kind of blank and indifferent, Kyle looked worried but tried to look nor」

「No, it's fine, really」

I shookinto a cold sweat

That's because their ti for the in in for acreature? So adorable!” For a short while I was striking poses in front of thevarious cute sound effects If the door haven't opened, I would probably spend whole eternity doing just that

Right, best to leave it at that

「Oh yeah, it looks like it was some kind of seal used to seal away evil spirits or demons」

At the sa of the black symbols on the beaded bracelet, Kyle came up to me and basically toldtool?」

「Most probably It is prograical power and pers, so it would render both spirits and demons unable to move or act in any kind of way And since it continues to drain the ical power, monsters and spirits cannot spread their influence What's more, thanks to the formula that oven into the spell itself, the ic, the ic becomes Not very refined method, but tremendously effective, if I do say so ical tool?」

「Correct Good answer You didn't really put it on, h for it to start sucking out youryou have so h it looked to be broken, it must have been inactive and turned on as a result of contact with ical power is so vast

I try to iic co about it made me tremble, and at that moment Nectar finally came back to his usual self and came to me, all worried

「Lava, are you okay? It didn't sucked out all of your ht Having this h to be a threat to my life I just temporarily disconnected myself froical power, concentrated aroundinto it It should be okay forsaid, both of them stayed silent for soon forets sical power So for noould be hard for me to revert back」

「What if you tried to extract your power back froet rid of it?」

「What?」

「Huh?」

I asked Nectar and Kyle, and in return they looked at me with blank expressions

Oh, does that mean I'm currently sealed in this form?

「Or rather, you don't really have to reic on it earlier, so o past it's holding capacity and break apart」

「Really?」

「Yeah, it should be possible, with you being a dragon and all……」

If I was just an ordinary spirit or a siician, it would probably be iht about now, but since I a, I guess

「But it's a valuable ancient tool, right? If possible, I would like to get back to nor to break it, but as I am now I can't really analyze it at all」

Honestly, I don't entirely dislike working in such a roundabout way

I looked up at Kyle, who had a rather complicated expression on his face

Even if I stood up, since the difference in our heights was too big I had to look upwards

「But, can I break it anyway?」

Kyle got lost in thoughts for a moment, before he turned back toyou uncomfortable in any way, then by all ht even take 100 years to wear off Are you fine with , my friend?」

「N, no, not at all」

For so his neck and continued talking

「The easiest way is to leave that as it is and wait until the bracelet let go on its own, at the sa the device out of its er and use soic」

「If that's the case, we can conduct the analysis, it will be even faster with two people doing it Lava, are you really feeling okay?」

I nod to Nectar's question

「Yes, I can sense leylines as usual, and as long as it does not resonate with the device I can even use soic However……」

「However?」

「I won't be able to return tothe bracelet, so hoill I get back hoirl, a so unnoticed ( a really shabby shi+rt)

By the way, teleportation would be no probleinal form, but noas pretty much impossible to connect with the leylines

「What to do……?」

In the end, we all just stood there, thinking about this issue as if it was thematter in the entire world
