”I sure did.”
”But it shouldn't be possible for you to cast
.”
”Oh my, really now?”
”Being an Apparition, you'd get destroyed casting
on yourself. Thus, you couldn't have used it even once in the past 300 years.”
”Actually I did this one time, see. Only a teensy little bit. Almost got myself erased there.”
”Yet you used it just now. Probably the highest order of
that surpasses even Skalabel's. How. How come an Apparition like you cast
!”
”Sheesh, I can't think of many people who would be so rude before their teacher. Well, I guess that's part of your charm.”
”Is this, an illusion? Are you showing me an illusion?”
”You really should trust your sense better. Then, how about this?”
Shira whispered a spell. Then Shira's dot of light showed up in Lecan's <Life Detection>. It's as humongous as ever. However, there exists a difference than previously.
It's red.
”It's, red? That, cannot be.”
<Life Detection> shows humans as red dots. Animals and insects as green dots. And magic beasts' dots are blue colored. The reason why Lecan could see through Shira as a kind of powerful Apparition instead of ordinary human when they first met was because her light dot was colored blue.

Lecan sipped his tea. The warmth and rich flavor spreading in his mouth had a mysterious calming effect on his mind.
”Will you tell me just what in the world is going on here.”
”Of course. It is something you, my savior, has the right to know.”
”Savior?”
”Sure is.”
Shira sipped her tea and sighed out.
”Now then. I'll start from the beginning.”
”Yea.”
