21 Episode 21: Lets do a physical exam (1/2)

I was stuck thinking in my own workshop. Today we will investigate Raini's demonic stones and explore ways to control his power. On top of that, I had concerns. But I didn't say that to anyone.

(Raini can remain human when control is achieved by instilling magic into the Demon Stone...?

Even though I thought about the possibility, I didn't say it because I couldn't yet make a decision.

Vampires are demons changed from wizards. And a vampire is half dead. When you awaken the power of the Demon Stone, it's impossible that your body will suddenly become half decayed. After a long examination, Raini remains a legitimate human being.

”When you get the art of controlling demon stones, it's unknown if you can just stay human,”

I don't know if a vampire can remit a child. Maybe there's an individual difference, or maybe Raini really had a miracle-like chance of God receiving raw.

It is unknown what changes will happen to Raini when he puts the power of the Demon Stone under control. I can only make speculation because there is no precedent. That's why I couldn't say it. I can't believe you could be a monster if you help.

”I hope you roll in the right direction”

I wish there was nothing. It would be ideal if it would at least fit to the point of being attacked by a blood-sucking urge. Even though I know of the existence of a vampire, it is riddled to the ecology. That's enough to add a variety of dorsal fin tail fins to your story.

I can't help but worry. The clock needle never stops, because we can only do what we can little by little.

Never mind. I leave the workshop. I only came here to get the tools I needed in the first place. If we left for the courtyard as soon as possible, Yufi and Raini and Ilia would be waiting there.

”Sorry to keep you waiting! Then let's start practicing control of Raini's magic.”

”Yes, thank you”

Raini nods with a tight look. Until the other day, Raini lacked the hegemony to say some pretty girl of dim fortune, but now I feel full of motivation. Nod that what you are willing to do is a good thing.

Well, it's Mana Blade who gives it to Raini like that. This dish boasts some of the finest craftsmanship and stability in the Demonic Props. Let's get used to this first.

”This is the magic item I made called Mana Blade. Even magic has magic to make magic blades, right?

”Yes, did you make this by touching it?

”Yes. So, the use of this instills the necessary magic...”

Set up Mana Blade after a short distance. Raini sends an interesting gaze at the blade, which is constituted by magic. Next to it, Yufi was letting his cheeks loosen as he nodded at Raini's reaction that he was too.

”Then why don't we use Raini?”

”Yes. Inject magic... with doing it magically... just like...”

Whimpering the steps several times, Raini pours his magic on Mana Blade. Yeah, it feels like I saw it. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the flow of magic. I don't feel weird, and I don't see any abnormalities.

And lightly Mana Blade was producing a blade of magic. Raini is seriously observing Mana Blade and trying to shake it gently.

”Wow, this is amazing. It's easier than just making magic! I wonder if I prefer this one. I've never used a sword or anything...”

”I prefer magic because it's wider, but I guess this is better for those who aren't good at magic.”

”Um, compared to Master Uphilia, yeah, a little... on a boulder”

Raini is smiling bitterly at Ufilia's words. That's right, you're the head of a genius child. Yufi is. Because it is the privilege of those who can do better freely on their own.

Now, while Raini's magic flow is fine, shall we keep doing some check-ups?

”Raini, I wonder if you could intervene a few times to get in and out of the blade. Because I'm a little curious about how Demon Stone reacts.”

”Ah, yes.... Speaking of which, where is Demon Stone in your body?

That, I didn't tell you. I point my chest at Raini tilting his neck. It was the heart that pointed it out.

”Here. I think it's stuck with the heart”

”... to the heart. Um, if I remove that, I won't die instantly......?

”It's okay. It's a last resort, so let's hope there isn't one.”

”I don't like being ripped out of my chest and dying......!

Oh, I think I'm overmotivated in a strange place. Well, whatever the history, it's desirable to be motivated.

Then excuse me. I turn around behind Raini and hug Raini so he can keep his back. Put those hands firmly on your chest...... yeah, I guess they're bigger than me. No, this could be pretty big...?

”Oh, oh, that!? Princess Anisphere!? Why are you rubbing your chest!?”

”To see the demon stone react. No, but you have quite a few things...”

”Hih.”

”What are you doing?”

Blunt pain ran on my head with the dull sound. I'm about to scream as it is, but I can handle it because I'm holding Raini tight. Ilia, add or subtract a little more and hit me!? If I hit you, I'll make that noise!?

Maybe next time I'll make some Harrison for Ilia and give it to her. If I get beat up badly, the boulder will tear me down, too. It still doesn't hurt if you get slapped on that one, and the Ilia you're slapping might drop your drinks. Let's consider it.

”Well, then, Raini, try it”

”Yes, no...”

While blushing, Raini repeats Mana Blade's activation. I'll explore the magic flow to the Demon Stone, but the Demon Stone still doesn't feel like it's flowing.

But it doesn't look like there's any magic in the Stone. By analogy, as there is a circuit through which magic passes, it feels that although it is connected to the circuit, magic is not actively flowing.

Still, there are demonic stones in the flowing path, and they receive magic. But I'm not actively trying to harness magic. Should this state be referred to as an inactivated state?

”Hmm, I see. That's enough. Thanks.”

”... this is an examination, this is an examination, because this is an examination...”

When I let Miss Raini go, she held her chest tight and was distanced. He said he had no other intention. But it worked, hehe.

When I thought about it, I saw Yufi with no expression. I can't see the color of that emotion. It's like my eyes are complaining about something, cough it up and then get back on my mind. Come on, let's be serious!

”I guess I know more or less the state of Raini's demonic stones! There seems to be no problem with the magic manipulation, so let's move on to the next phase!... and I just wanted to say. Wouldn't you like to go?”

”... is there something?

”Speaking of which, there is. Yeah, you're right. So let's talk about it.”

It's going to be a little long, so I encourage you to move to the tea party space in the courtyard. Ilia is the only one who is away and ready for tea.

Wait for Ilia's tea to make it, and moisten her throat with that tea. I regain my mind and look over everyone again.

”There was no problem manipulating Raini's magic, and the Demon Stone is in an inactivated state. I know it's like a drooling state because it's moving with minimal force but I haven't even operated it. Well, then, we're gonna talk about controlling this. I need you to be ready before I do.”

”... ready, is it?

Raini frowns anxiously. And I nod and answer.

”When you activate the Demon Stone, a change can happen to the flesh. It could affect your spirit, and if you put it simply, it's not like you could really be a vampire.”

”... you mean I won't be able to be me?

”It may or may not be. I couldn't say anything until I knew it clearly. I didn't want you to get me wrong. Sorry about this, Raini.”

”... no”

Raini shakes her neck left and right with a sunken look. I'm sorry I'm depressed, but I can't stop talking here, so I'll keep going.

”Well, you don't have to look so anxious. At least because there's a precedent for pimping.”

”Precedents?”

It's about me.

Yufi looked at me with a slight change of complexion to Raini, who leaned her neck. As if to ask for an explanation of what it means.

I just didn't say it because I didn't think it was enough to say it. I'll explain it properly when I get a chance. Because it's about that extent.

”I am engraving my body with demonic stones. I mean, it's pretty much the same as having a demon stone in it.”

”Really?!?”

”I'll show you next time. Um, so. Maybe there's nothing wrong with using the power of Demon Stone. It's just that I'm crushing it and turning it into paint, so Raini and I have a different premise. I guess Raini's body turns into that of a vampire because I'm under similar influence.”

”... does that mean that Master Anis could also become a demon?

Uffi asks with a slightly more sharp voice color. I snort firmly, without denying it.

”Because it's like a curse. In the first place, I was a little cursed by dragons before I carved demon stones into my body.”

”Dragon!?”

”Oh, yeah. Isn't that amazing? But you can stay like this, so you don't really care about Raini either, do you? I can handle it!... That's what we talked about. It's no big deal to say curse. But because you killed yourself, you were cursed whether you were stronger than yourself or a dragon.”

Dragon exorcism made possible by giving everything you can have. Finally, the dragon put such a curse on me before I could breathe out. The loser is deprived of everything, versus the winner gets everything. Then you'll be the next dragon.

And since engraving was engraved on my body, I have become subject to interference from engraving. Power, strength, closer to the dragon, as I say. Well, it's not that annoying if you don't shed magic either.

Still more susceptible to engraving when it is used. Becoming belligerent or feeling a little daunted. I'm just aware of it and I'm not going to be drunk by it. That's the only thing and I'm breaking it off. It's not inconvenient.

”For that reason, being cursed isn't harmful because you're familiar with your body. If you're careful, there's no inconvenience in living normally. Still, they won't look good if they find out.”

Like Uffi there, or Ilia, who's creating some awesome signs back there. No, I'm thankful you're worried, because there's no problem! I want you to forgive me with the results ohrai, truthfully.

”In Miss Raini's case, unlike mine, it's from the Demon Stone itself. I want you to keep in mind that blood sucking impulses and all those vampire traits can come out of your body.”

”... Yes”

”So instead of directly controlling the Demon Stone, we might be able to explore ways to seal it up somehow, but it's going to take a while. Above all, that could put a load on your body. It's not natural for the body.”

Because it is natural to have demon stones, making demon stones completely dysfunctional may have some effect on Raini. In the end, no matter what you do, there is a risk, and later you get to the point of what you want to do in person.

”... wasn't Princess Anisphere afraid?

”Hmm?”

”I don't think I'm going to be human.”
