Chapter 35 (1/2)
A Small Wake
Ten days have passed since the battle with Demon Chief, Rajas Since then, Suimei and Lefilla have crossed the border fro the capital, Filas Filas Suilance at the city
Not coate is huge It has three towers that pierce the sky The continuous, tall , these fortification were a priht As for the city, it was almost double that of Astel’s capital city Outside the ere many cheap hotels and markets (I’m not sure how Klant fit into that description)
According to Sun Tzu, do to the east, west, and south were heavily trafficked, but also well maintained A very clear flow of trade existed in this country (quaka: The text said to read it as kuchi, but that didn’t actually help in translating Fro roadways or just road control I could have translated it, but this has a nicer touch)
Suio to Klant, but now intends to find tes here The reason for his detour walks next to hiainst Rajas back in Astel depleted her spirit energy which resulted in her shrinking down to the size of an eleer wield her five foot long sword o to Klant as soon as he crosses the boarder with Lefilla
There’s also the proble our journey He was able to suppress it each tiet rid of it
I get restless andanything wrong, but I still feel like I’ bad I would definitely be labeled as a lolicon if so that Lefilla’s actually the sae as me would be pointless
Yet, even considering all that, I cannot abandon things as they are Such a choice is impossible for ht travel alone Her curse is already an invitation for disaster Right now, I’ until her body returns to noret it under control Wouldn’t it be better to take out the demon responsible for the curse?
The idea gradually takes form as he stares at Lefilla
It’s a fe ic belonged to succubi According to European folklore, succubi engaged withthem dry, they would snatch their souls away They could only exist thanks to mankind’s insatiable lust Would they still be classified as demons in this world?
Undoing the curse requires the establishh sleep so the problem can be passed off This would require for the intermediary to always be at hand, but it is thethe required inter the curse from its source (I’m 70 sure on this one This translation is the one that makes most sense)
Yes, I ao that far I’ll cooperate with her even if itmy journey home
“What’s wrong, Suimei-kun?”
“Huh? Oh, nothing…”
“Fufu, are you fascinated by ht s her high quality children’s clothes flutter with her Her face is one of pure bliss Since she always takes care to behave like a proper lady, this playful side of hers is a rare sight
As for her question… How do say this… “Yeah, I somewhat like it”
“Wait, really? Oh…”
Suirin causes makes Lefilla’s face turn crimson She lowers her head out of e after having her secret exposed In her case, it’s being an adult who likes wearing children’s clothes Looks like she can’t hide her shame
At the ht costume
We just wanted some cheap and simple outfits for our journey to Nelfila But the clerk, up until we paid, wouldn’t leave Lefilla alone Up until the end, Lefilla cried, “Stop treating me like a child,” “I’m a respectable adult,” and “We-well… it is cute” With the two clasping their hands in agree the extra outfit as well Her wearing this very lovely outfit is the result
Lefilla asks without shi+fting her line of sight, “…Does it suit me?”
“Yeah, like the clerk said, you’re pretty cute,”
“C-cute? Those sort of words… They won’t make me happy”
Her gait got a lot lighter despite what she said Deep down, she is happy to have been called cute If a irl, he’d be soaring through the clouds Everyone enjoys receiving compliments, after all
Watching her like this warot smaller Is this how Lefilla’s normally speaks?
Suiazes at Lefilla Right now, she’s hu a lotThat’s not to say she had less emotions before Her current playfulness is just a sharp contrast to the seriousness she displayed before Could her soul have been affected by her body shrinking? There’s no way to confirm it
Another way to look at this situation would be saying that she’s coht makes ood feeling
While Sui The sever expression on her young face as she turns to face him is just like one from her older self
“Hey, Sui smaller…”
“That’s right, I forgot to mention it before”
“I also forgot about a few things”
“Yeah”
The seriousness of her tone and facial expression are so different froot toup to where they are now Why did Lefilla beco since they came down the mountain Suimei rubs his jaw and a crease forms between his eyebrows as he summarizes the situation
“Nohere to start? Okay, in ht called Idea Theory It states that everything humans can see is actually a reflection of the world’s true essence Every essence is called an Idea The things we perceive are just imitations or illusions” (The actual translation is “In my world” Does anyone knohen he revealed that he’s from a different world to her? Maybe it’s one of the disconnects fro between WN and LN Or was it skipped?)
“Idea Theory?”
“That’s right”
“U I see…”
At my nod, Lefilla contemplates my explanation Looks like such concepts are still beyond this world “For example, the me that you currently perceive is an 8- key idea known as Suih your eyes, this is what you see The Idea passes inforans so you can perceive me”
“The true essence are called Idea? Thatwe perceive… the true essence differs from e see?”
“Roughly speaking”
“Well, if the Idea influences our perceptions, then shouldn’t everything look the same?”
“Ideas possess potential features which differentiates them to observers As a result, you and I don’t look alike The sa us”
“…I understand your explanation when applied to nature Everything that’s born has a soul But, how does it apply to objects crafted by people? People can shape objects and assign them roles, but they can’t make Ideas”
“Certainly, people don’t consciously create Ideas when they craft things However, the thoughts they have such as, “Let’s do this,” influences the final product Those distortions breathe so like a soul into the object You could even say that they’re fabricating an Idea Well, that’s just the object’s physical state In short, people create Ideas byan object’s shape
“The objects people make only have that appearance because of the Idea they strive for?”
