142 Another Story: Cursed Lady Speaks Out 03 (1/2)

- Those who deal in magic must be comfortable. What do you do with that miracle you deal with?

For Charne, magic was something he had to train, learn and raise as a nobleman. Because we will really need magical powers to fulfill our noble duty.

There are many demons in the Kingdom of Palettia. So much so that knights and adventurers will overflow if they don't make intermissions on a regular basis. Stampede occurs when even that nuisance fails to catch up, or when a powerful demon emerges.

It is the nobility's role to protect people from demons. Charne is still a young girl, but she was aggressive in what she could do for a territory that had been impoverished by famine.

It was part of the hunt. But hunting isn't without danger. I don't even know when the demons will attack me in the middle of the hunt. Still, she was able to participate because she was a wizard.

- For Charne, magic was a necessary means to live. I have lived thinking that I must give thanks to the Spirit who gave me that power, and to my ancestors who let me take over the power until my own generation.

Charne is a very ordinary, if daring, aristocratic daughter of good sense in the Kingdom of Palettia. That's why Tilty's advice to her like that was something that would shake her values up to now.

If the magic power passes, it turns into something that hates people. Therefore, we must discipline. That's what I do as a nobleman.

Sadly, nobles have been corrupt until recent years. Magic becomes a symbol of aristocratic authority, and those who drown in authority eventually aim to satisfy their own desires.

Magic is a thankful blessing from the honorable Spirit. That's not bad, even if it's good. If it is evil, it is the weakness of the mind of those who use it for evil.

But Tilty says. He said that practicing magic meant moving away from people.

That makes me undeniable when I give two examples: Anisphere and Uphilia.

”... magic is what it is to me.”

I guess that's why Tilty told me to think about it, Charlene thinks. Impressed by people's teachings and thoughts, he said it was no mistake to imitate the method.

But that's not enough. Because magic is what your power, your wishes and your will knit out. I have to find my own definition of what to do with magic.

All teaching makes sense. And Tilty is right in saying that it doesn't make sense at the same time. Correctness is always in my mind only.

”I Believe...... Magic”

Unexpectedly, Charne wanted to pull the bow.

Charne likes bows. At the same time I was good at it, I liked it.

Charne's magic can't be said to be much or little, it is said to be a very common amount. So he didn't think anything should be magically resolved, but rather told me to save as much as I could.

And Charne met the bow. Whether you need to strengthen your body to pull a bow or put magic on an arrow, magic alone consumes less magic than trying to hunt beasts.

In fact, the bow would have fit Charne. The arm of the bow was so young that it was whispered that it was perhaps the best in the territory.

That is a whisper of confidence for Charne. But bow skill is not like being appreciated as an aristocratic courtier.

As a samurai, I left my bow to go up to the royal castle. Though I knew that was necessary, my thoughts on the bow still existed in my mind.

”... I want to pull”

I wanted to immerse myself in the feeling of pulling a bow. It's hard not to think about it, but just to concentrate on the whole nerve.

Did you become good at it because you liked it or because you were good at it? Charne doesn't know which comes first.

But that feeling calms me down, and I like it. Charne let go, once. And once again, I realize it by thinking about it.

to the fact that I really liked bows.

”... pull the bow, pull it”

There is no bow in this hand. But there is magic.

Charne breathed in the courtyard of the Metropolitan Government, where Anisphere had prepared it for experimentation.

It can be shaped by magic, like a magic blade that forms a blade with magic. But I've never heard of making bows.

Unlike a magic blade, that is unnecessary. Whatever the arrow is, reproducing it to the bow part doesn't make sense from the efficiency of magic.

It doesn't make sense. But it had nothing to do with Charne now. Because I want to pull a bow, I just magically substitute it for that.

The light lights up in Charne's hands. What I remember is when I was in the territory, a feeling familiar with the hand I used in the hunt.

The arrows on the watch are also magically assembled. And strings that pull arrows. This string was the hardest to reproduce.

Magic comes true as you wish. But the strings on the bow don't pull the strings the way you want. Rather, on the contrary, it is to feel if the string is hit by the response.

”... difficult”

Even if I made a shape out of magic, it was a shame. inferior to the real thing. Fogging the magic, Charne sighed.

I knew it was impossible, and it was when I tried to turn my heels back.

”- Oh, you're stopping me?

”Pi!”

Tilty stood there. Charne looks back with a strange voice at someone who never thought she'd be standing.

”Te, Master Tilty? Why are you here?

”I thought you were doing something funny, so I came to see it. I can't just recreate a bow and arrow with magic.”

”... weird, can't believe we're recreating the bow and arrow as it is”

Sharne turned away as she put her fingers together in front of her chest and let her play to tangle. I didn't think they were watching, such a useless use of magic. It's so embarrassing that I can't look Tilty in the eye.

”I think that's an interesting idea, don't you? On the contrary, why did you stop it?

”Huh?”

Tilty asks where she laughs or how intrigued she is. Charne opens her eyes to an unexpected reaction.

”Why... I don't care what you say, it's hard to reproduce...”

”Huh. I think he was on his way, but where couldn't he be?

”... it's a string. It's not like you can pull it off as you wish.”

”If it's the string you want, it doesn't have to be in the form of a bow... As far as it goes, Charne. I'll give you a hand, try again.”

”Yes?”

Also, Charne leaked her voice to be taken aback. Tilty just looks at Charne jizzily.

Faster, Charne loses the pressure of his gaze just telling him to make bows and arrows as he had tried earlier. Up to where I put it, I was with the first one, and now I'm trying to make a string that pulls the arrow I put it on... it still doesn't work.

”Yes, there's no point in just making shapes. Be aware of the symbols at the back of that form in the sense that it is.”

Tilty says as he turns behind Charne and hands on his shoulder. As bewildered by the word, Charne listens back with an elephant bow in his hand with magic.

”Shit, symbol......?

”What it takes to shoot a bow is elasticity, right? Fix the shape of a bow while the string tries to break its shape.”

……

I see a face that Charne has no idea what it means to explain Tilty. I know you say the bow needs elasticity, but I don't know the instructions for the second half.

”Fine, be conscious as you are told. Fixed by pouring magic into the bow with a hand holding the bow, and converged on the arrow by making sure to pull that magic from the finger that plays the string. It goes hand in hand with circulating magic in your body. Create a flow path in the form of a bow. The bow is part of you, part of your body.”

As they say, Charne pours his magic into the bow. And play the string while keeping an eye on the arrow. Just making strings doesn't make it as elastic as pulling a bow.

So pull through the strings to pull magic from the bow and converge magic on the arrows. Hand to bow, bow to string, string to arrow.

”You can keep the magic flowing. But keep the magic of the bow, the string with the arrow is the convergence point of the magic. Squeeze to the limit.”
