Episode 48.6 (1/2)
”No. There's no difference.”
”Humans who possess mana and humans who don't, they both exist in this world. Or rather, ordinary humans do not have mana. Those who do are the unusual ones.”
”You mean people who don't have enough mana to cast magic. No mana means no life. No human exists that's lifeless. Something like that can't be called human anymore.”
”That conviction, or more like assumption is likely what brought us to this amusing situation. I'm not so sure though.”
”What? What are you talking about?”
”You came across humans that can't be sensed by <Life Detection> when you first fell into this world, didn't you?”
”Yea.”
”On top of that, one among them is quite strong, as in they have a strong life force.”
”Yea.”
”'This can't be right', thus you thought to yourself. Then you made <Mana Detection> go into full throttle when you came very close to them. After which, you became able to detect their mana, as in life forces. After that point on, your <Life Detection> became able to detect them as well.”
”What a surprise. Didn't think you'd remember.”
”Of course I would. I can't possibly forget such an important clue. I even have it recorded.”
”Recorded?”
”To begin with, the same colors being shared between <Life Detection> and <Mana Detection> is weird. Those two abilities are of different types. At least by this world's rules. And yet they are treated like one and the same. That is not right.”
”I wasn't born in this world.”
”But you're here in this world now. Just be quiet and listen for now. Your world and this world are extremely alike. I believe the passages connecting two worlds won't open if they are too dissimilar. But no matter how similar two worlds are, they are ultimately separate worlds. How matters are structured and how phenomena come to be are not the same. Hence, a readjustment, or rather, an adaptation occurred.”
”Adaptation?”

”Your abilities have been altered to follow this world's rules.”
”I have no idea what you're going on about. I've been using abilities from my previous world in this world just fine.”
”The first time you used <Life Detection> in this world, it could not detect any human.”
