186 Episode 79: And Morning Visits (1/2)

”... uh, I guess it'll take a little longer before I can fly tight...”

”Right.”

In the woods, where the morning sun began to rise, the effects of the battle with Lylana made me completely quiet. So me and Uffi were sitting back in the fallen tree resting their bodies.

It was a long night on the boulder. Me and Yuffi were completely out of magic when we had a chimera opponent and a substandard opponent named Lilana. This is how I pinch my holidays because I don't have the magic to allow me to fly back.

I know we'll all be worried if we don't get home soon. But I don't have enough magic to rush home. I think you should rest well in the spirit of turning if you hurry at times like this.

”Anis, can I ask you something?

”What?”

”… it's about the dragon that Annis made manifest”

Yufi's face was serious. I saw the look on that face too and corrected my posture. It would be dressed like sitting shoulder to shoulder with each other, but a little half-hearted and facing each other.

”What the hell is that...”

”Hmm... I don't know exactly what that is either, but I guess I should just say that's like my magical attribute”

”... is that it?

”That one. It's only an analogy, so it's not right to say attributes, either. After all, I can't seem to use magic from the spinal cord of my soul. So it's a substitute for someone other than me who can't use their magic.”

”Again... Was it”

Seeing the magic that returned Lilana's magic to nothing, Yuffi may have felt a sense of crisis. In fact, I can't help but say that that is a magical natural enemy similar to Lilana.

You'd think if I could use that thing freely, I'd have an overwhelming advantage over the wizard, wouldn't you? It's just not that convenient a substitute, are you?

”If I go through the Spirit Stone, my aptitude to disable my magic will disappear, and my user-friendliness sucks in the first place.”

”Really?

”That's what the nature of my magic looks like. Instead of being stained with nothing, you can symbiosis wherever you mix it. I can't dye the magic itself, but is it okay to mix it with the magic of other attributes...”

”But then what the hell is that dragon...?

”Because that can't be established without the magic of Uffi. With my own magic, I can't use that.”

”Inconclusive?

Yufi gives me a surprise look. I kept explaining as I nodded at Uffi like that.

”Having only the same amount of magic as my magic, I can't manifest it in my own magic because I need to override that magic as my magic and replace it with properties. Is this what I'm supposed to say? If any magic other than mine were a grain of sand, my grain of magic would be finer. So it's not right to solidify it as a form, and it can't be established unless you use the mould with the magic of others to make it subordinate.”

Give me an example, as you need to override the magic that has ten powers, it is the magic of my properties that you will need. And I'm going to need ten magic powers for my magic to take shape. My magic only adds ten other magic powers, not more.

In other words, it requires twice as much magic, including mine, to deactivate ten magic powers. It's just such an inefficient extreme. I have no use for it if I don't get into a situation like this one where I have to disable the magic itself, like Lylana.

”... that's inconvenient”

”Although I may see some way to make use of it if I study it closely...... I don't know if I'm going to be that enthusiastic. That's not the power I want.”

Magic to dispel magic. I don't think I want anything else like that. Normally, it doesn't affect my use of magic props, and my willingness to study my properties, apply them to magic props, doesn't boil.

”This one's really special. Lilana had to be destroyed. And Lilana couldn't be defeated by a normal wizard. And it just so happens that I fit in well. I can't imagine this miraculous situation happening again and again.”

”... as a queen, I'd like to be prepared.”

”... uh, let Tilty study it. Tilty would be happy to look into it.”

”There is also health care for anise, should we consider a visit”

... where we talked that far, the conversation was inadvertently interrupted. It's not like I had anything to think about. However, because the conversation had just been separated, something like that had arisen between them.

So I saw Yuffi's face again. Yufi's eyes are a little red if you look closely. It was all night, and this time it made Yufi cry a lot.

When I thought about it, my hand was stretching naturally, and I glanced at Yuffi's eyes with my finger. Uffi didn't move when I touched him, he didn't resist just narrowing his eyes.

”... my eyes, they're red”

”Because I cried a lot”

”I'm sorry, I made you worry.”

”No...... this time I also had a cold liver in the boulder. Because I never dreamed I'd have someone who couldn't make magic work.”

”That's unpredictable on boulders. But as Yuffi said, we need to be prepared to deal with whatever happens.”

”... so Annis, too, please help me find out what my characteristics are, right? I know it doesn't bother you.”

”... Yes, sir”

Oh, no, I can only see a future where absolutely Tilty will be softened.

”... Is Anis the one who's okay?

”What?

”A demonic stone has been made and has it had any effect?

”Hmm............”

Impact of a demonic stone. I'm not saying there isn't...

That's what I thought, my stomach gushed, and I rang loud. Then Yufi looks at me with her eyes round.

”... I'm so hungry”

”Are you hungry?
