67 Episode 63: The Qi Road Shown (1/2)

”Raini, you really can't do this, can you?

”Yes, you'll be fine.”

Anxiously, Anisphere tells Raini to make a push. Raini, guided by Anisphere, nods again and again with a bitter smile.

It has been decided that Raini will accompany Ufilia to the Ministry of Magic from today. To help the Ministry solve the problems it has.

Behind the anisphere is Ilia refraining. Based on the failure of Anisphere the other day, I was to accompany you as a visitor.

”You do it right, Raini”

”Yes, please keep Ilaria on track”

”I will do good, Master Anisphere.”

”Is that me!?”

Anisphere and Ilia break up on the parting road to the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Magic with their usual interactions. Raini, who dropped that back off with Ufiria, held her chest and exhaled softly.

”Let's go, Master Uphilia”

……

”Master Uphilia?

”... let me also say it from me. Try not to force it, Raini.”

”Of course. But this is the place to work.”

Uphilia was looking at Raini's face with a little anxiety. But I shake my head left and right to shake off the stray and nod.

”Well, let's go”

”Yes!”

Raini has been facing his existence ever since he was discovered to be a vampire.

Close to people, demons without people. He who inherits the contraindication business created by his obsession with magic. I kept facing myself like that, and I kept going down the path that had been shown to me by Anisphere.

(... okay. I can do it, I can do it)

Raini takes a deep breath at the entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Reinforce your expression and never let your will enter the demonic stone that is assimilating your magic with your heart.

Fluffy. The scent overflows from Raini that you wouldn't notice if you weren't aware. The scent spreads around like a thin mist.

Raini's magical aptitude is considered water. Since she became a vampire, there is no discernible information as to whether she is the same suitability as before, but Raini still specializes in magic using water as a medium.

The mist that spreads thinly from me subsides to the extent that it causes minor discomfort where people are touched. I have felt it before. It is said that Ilia's assessment is close to perfume.

(… exploration, commencement)

To those who touch the spreading fog, spread the ”noiseless sound” that they emit as if it were a fork. The ”sound” spread from Raini bounces back to Raini to echo from those who are struck with the sound as it were.

One of the properties of a vampire, mental interference. Raini has so far mutated and fascinated this by unconsciously putting magic into his eyes. That power, which can now be consciously used, was showing new forms again in Raini's training.

(... sorted by the reaction of looking at Master Uphilia)

Uphilia walks dignified in front of Raini, who expands his consciousness. Walking with Raini, she seemed to get more attention from those in the Ministry of Magic than usual. That's why I don't even pay attention to Raini, who's expanding his consciousness and exploring.

What is Raini doing? It weighs the “mental state” of the subject echoed by the ”sound without sound”. It can also be described as a kind of reading mindset that explores the response of the other person, rather than dealing with mental interference.

(... in reaction, sorting... I need to remember my face...!

However, the amount of information naturally increases if the scope is broadened. If there is more information than just the number of people, sorting the information to be obtained can be burdensome for Raini. Raini manages his expression by deluding it with his ability to play as a vampire.

What we collect is the reaction to Uphilia, and we divide it by ”hit,” “normal,” and ”off.” And I remember people's faces, and I carve them into my memory so I don't get it wrong.

“Normal” is a person who reacted neither to poison nor to medication. “Off” is one who is hostile to Uphilia and himself. And “hit” is not to say friendly, but not hostile.

That's how Raini picks up the hearts and minds of the people she meets in the Ministry of Magic as she walks after Uphilia. What I feel is the amount of ”normal”. And the next most common is ”off”, which can be divided to say ”hit” to give way to one step.

However, this task had placed a significant burden on Raini. There were times when the consciousness was blurred, and there were times when things seemed blurred. Every time I consume magic and regenerate myself, I feel tired.

Nevertheless, the magic continued to be consumed, so Raini had to stop spraying the fog where he caught sight of the reaction of the dizzying person.

”... are you okay? Raini.”

”... Fine, I'm tired”

I guess Ufiria quickly realized that Raini had stopped spraying the fog. Enter the blind spot to avoid the eyes and reach out to guide Raini.

Raini's cheeks were so feverish that Ufiria's hands felt limp. Where I can't see it, I'm scratching my sweat. It is visible and obvious that it was an act that required so much concentration.

”... it's not a complimented use...”

”What are you talking about? There are many things that can be applied with that power.... because that's what you did for me. And most importantly, I allowed it. Be confident, Raini.”

”... Yes”

Raini suggested a way to use vampire mental interference to sort out the people in the Ministry of Magic who could be on his side.

Preliminary stage of mental interference. Instead of manipulating the other person's mind, he resonates with himself by touching it and absorbs it. It was Raini's suggestion to set the course from that extracted information.

It was Raini's overwhelming determination to say that if emotions didn't make things better, he could help himself to solve them.

Initially, Anisphere and Uphilia opposed this. If you do poorly, you may be noticed that Raini is a vampire. You can't let Raini make such a danger, he said.

On the contrary, it was Ilia who pushed Raini's back. Ilia listened to Raini and agreed with Raini as she stood between the opposing Anisphere and Uphilia.

At present, Anisphere and Uphilia, who did not have the means to open it, allowed Reini to read his mind so that he could take root in Reini's persuasion. This is the sequence of history so far.

”You did a great job. Leave it to me.”

As she stroked Raini's back as she labored, Uphilia was determined to squirm in her eyes.

”Miguel, I need a favor.”

”This is, this is... Princess Uphilia, what can I do for you? At the princess's request, no matter what!

”Then let me prepare a list of Magic Ministry personnel, a background, and then a sketch. As soon as possible, as quickly as possible.”

”This is also in a large order”

Office for Uphilia temporarily prepared in the Ministry of Magic. Uphilia had summoned Miguel to that room and had informed him of his request.

Miguel shows his shoulders flaunted by the request he received from Uphilia. I can see interesting, then entertaining emotions on that face.

”You mean it's gonna collapse in earnest?

”Yep. That's why I want information. Can you give me a hand?

”For cheap. Rewards?”

”... what do you want?

”I hope to be close to Baroness Cyan next time, if you will.”

Miguel is gazing at Raini without breaking his grin. Raini seems to take a step back by distorting his expression only slightly when seen from Miguel. But I can't stand pulling my legs back with all my strength in my belly.

Although Ufiria frowns only for a moment at Miguel's response, she immediately nods back to her usual expression.

”To have me or Annis present. If so, let's have a personal tea party.”

”I got in!

With a full smile, Miguel accepted a request from Uphilia.
