Chapter 71: Im sorry, but thats the truth. (1/2)

Im sorry, but thats the truth.

Herro,

This is reizenchuu~

This was the longest chapter I ever translated in this novel. It took my 3 days actually! Though, unfortunately, its still not edited. I will update the chapter once it will.

-Cheers!

Youve got quite a lot of them.

Once I followed Lina and entered the room, I was overwhelmed by the variety of magic items inside.

Since the curtain was shut the room was slightly dim despite putting on the lights.

There were some bookshelf on the walls and desks placed in the center. All of them contained many magic items, making the room look like a museum.

Im collecting them thinking that one day they may serve for something. There are still many others hiding inside.

Lina said that while pointing at a treasure chest like box.

Ah, could that be

Is this an infinite storage box?

Yeah, its called storage box. It has a storage limit but its easy to carry which makes it pretty convenient. This one is too big, so its kinda difficult to carry him, but theres a bag version for it which I often use.

Then why are you still putting it here?

It just takes too much time to take out all the stuff inside it.

Isnt there a magic that lets you do the same thing? Like, storing things?

What? I never heard of that.

She doesnt seem to know.

Eh? Then what about that Boxskill you got?

That skill is for personal use and it has a limit on how many things I can store. Its not as great as you think.

I was slightly surprised by her answer.

Looks like the magic that my Space Magicuses doesnt exist.

I thought it definitely existed somewhere outside this world.

I slowly surveyed the room again.

But still, youve got too many stuff here.

A star-shaped magic item. A crystal-like item. A small box-shaped tool.

There were various types and shapes.

Its wasnt easy to judge their utility only from the appearance.

Some of them were not much different from a wood plank and a horse wood curvature. It became even suspicious if they were really magic tools or not.

Are these really magic items?

Despite its looks, it is a full-fledged magic tool. And its pretty useful too.

Waa- this one is beautiful.

Suddenly, Saya who was in bad temper not too long ago got entranced by some sort of a germ necklace and was about to touch it.

Ah, thats

Eh?

Before Lina was able to finish her line, Saya touched the necklace, resulting in a magic circle appearing under her feet. Confused by that abrupt occurrence, Saya remained standing in her place until she disappeared in an instant.

Wait, Saya?

I roamed my sight in our surroundings, but I couldnt find her.

What happened? How did she disappear all of a sudden like that?

When I was about to ask Lina about it, I found her holding her head seeming to be deeply troubled.

She did it

Did what? Where did Saya go?

She didnt go anywhere. Youre just not seeing her.

Eh? Seriously?

Hearing her answer, I used presence sensationto look for her place and as Lina said, she wasnt actually near us.

I cant feel her presence

Thats because she touched the super privacy pendant. Its an excellent magic item that doesnt only make you invisible, but also erase your presence. Due to that, we cant even hear her if she talked.

How convenient.

Remaining to look at the place where Saya was standing, I was impressed by the ability of the pendant.

But even though I understood its use, I still dont know the most important part.

How can we turn her back to normal?

The pendant is working on Saya-donos magic. If she could stop the flow of her magic it will stop working, but unfortunately, I dont think she could.

Lina said with a worried expression.

Saya is an ordinary person.

Theres no way she would know how to control her magic.

It should stop working once she runs out of magic, so she should be alright.

Doesnt that mean she will faint?

Is that alright?

Starting to feel worried about the disappeared Saya, I suddenly felt something touching my clothes and shaking me.

Uoh, What!!?

Thats probably Saya-dono trying to make us notice her presence. Saya-dono, Im sorry, but please wait like that until the effect wears off.

As line said that, My body stopped shaking.

She probably said something like no way while feeling disappointed.

Trying to cheer her up, I reached my hand at a slightly low angle and bumped into something hard. I lightly tapped it.

It was probably her shoulder, though she didnt seem to move despite doing so.

A few minutes later, we found Saya laying on the ground. Looks like she had swooned.

She didnt seem to be very lucky today.

Uu, that was mean.

Are you okay?

Im sorry, its because of my bad management.

With concern, I asked Saya if she was alright while Lina apologized to her.

I had to share some of my magic with her so she could wake up.

I did that only by touching her hand, but despite the bad efficiency, that much was plenty for her.

But maybe it wasnt that bad.

When I thought she was in a bad mood, Saya said in a low voice and a smirk on her face, as if she recalled something.

I got Yato-kun to stroke my hair.

When she said that with a cheerful expression, I remembered what I did earlier and asked her.

What I touched was your shoulder, right?

Eh? Ah, yes, my shoulder.

The way she answered me was fairly suspicious. When I kept staring at her with doubting eyes, she reverted her sight.

Well, whatever. It doesnt matter if it was her shoulder or something else.

I went back to check the magic tools.

What is this?

What I pointed at was a handle with two boards in which each one had Oorwriten in it.

I wonder whats its use.

Hm? Ah, thats a lie detector. It divulges the true thoughts of anyone who holds it. I used often when I interrogate someone.

A lie detector, huh.

And she uses it for interrogation?!

It has a shape of something normally used in entertainment, but its actually for integrating? Seriously?

When I remained gazing at the lie detector, Lina, seeming to have hit upon something talked to me with a mischievous grin on her face.

Kamiya Yato, try holding it.

This?

Doing as she said, I seized the lie detector.

The same instant, Lina talked in an incredible speed.

Kamiya Yato is dating Saya-dono!

What?

Eh?

BuBu!

Saya and I let out a confused voice to Lina abrupt utterance while the board of the lie detector gleamed and made a strange sound.

Hm, looks like it wasnt the case.

Wait a second, what did you do?

With the lie detector still in my hand, I glared at Lina who was making a satisfied expression.

Remember when I asked you the same thing the other day? That time I couldnt completely believe you so I thought I can use this chance to get a clear proof. Though it seems that things are as you said, so dont glare at me like that. Well, its fine even if it wasnt.

Lina kept speaking while nodding in assent.

But why did she seemed somehow satisfied?

Dont do that again.

T-Thats right, Lina-chan! I-Im not in that kind of relationship with Kamiya-kun?

Embarrassed by what just happened, Saya followed my warning to Lina with a complaint.

Yeah, Im sorry about that. Oh yeah, how about you try asking him something too? You can get to know anything you want.
