Episode 25.5 (2/2)
”My.”
”T-then, you're a member of a royal family?”
”Not exactly. It was merely required of me to guard the king in someplace only a member of the king's family can be at. Getting adopted was simply the quickest way to reach that objective.”
”Adopting you as his son because he needed protection is downright illogical. That king must have taken quite a liking on you.”
”Yeah he did. By the way, never seen someone with a pink hair before. Both in my former world and in this world. Isn't that rare?”
Lady Sushana put her handkerchief over her mouth as she looked downcast.
Her maid was desperately trying to hold back laughter.
”It's hair powder, hair powder. You use it to color your hair, see.”
”Ah, I see.”
”Have you not debuted in the high society? Young ladies there have every kind of color on their hair as fashion.”
”High society? Yeah never fought a battle there yet.”
”You're joking, right?”
”Yea.”
Lady Sushana has her hair fashioned up. Meaning she's come of age, more than 14 year old.
Lady Sushana stood up and bowed at Lecan.
”Lecan-sama. My life has been saved thanks to Lecan-sama's actions. And today, I am finally able to repay your kindness. I pray for blessings from all nine great gods unto you.”
”Saved your life? I don't recall doing that though.”
”Lecan. Chaney managed to deliver <God Cure> thanks to you escorting him. I still haven't given you reward for it.”
”Ah, that huh. Like I told you before, I merely did the job Chaney gave me, got the rewards already. You guys owe me nothing.”
”We realized that it was a curse a bit too late. If only we knew sooner, we could have ordered an anti-curse grace items from Ninae. But thanks to Shira-sama informing us that it was a curse, Chaney made it in time to get a <God Cure>.”
”Anti-curse grace items?”
”Ah, no. Not grace items, I mean catalysts. Shira-sama knew the catalysts needed to undo the curse, but there was no guarantee you can get hold on one even at Ninae, and we wouldn't make it in time with ordering.”
That means Shira also knows Enchantments that makes use of catalysts.
Enchantments make use of both mana and spells as well as catalysts, but it's got a different system and methods than general magic.
Lecan has a bit of interest in it, but trying to learn it would be tough and he felt like Shira would refuse teaching him it.
Come to think of it, in the end Shira never taught him magic that use magic circles either.
They're apparently called Ritual Magic, but she's not teaching him that.
Shira must think that he shouldn't be led astray by this stuff in his quest toward strength, and polish up on the magic he's learned so far instead.
That was when someone called out from outside the room.
”Crimus-sama, are you in there?”
”I am in. Is there a problem?”
”The masons and carpenters are currently having a stand off, workers under them both are on the verge of an all out brawl, the situation is critical sir. We need to dispatch soldiers at once.”
