Fifty seconds When the tireed on was up—
The young ing onto the machine pearl <machina>behind him
” Why are you carryinghuman?”
The person who broke the silence was Maha
He gently flipped his robe as he stared at thehis spells
”Unconfirhly dangerous”
After pulling a distance away fro once more
As Maha's chant began, so did the voice of Kagura
Everything was in sync — not a second off, nor were there any characters that had deviated
Absolutely perfect The young girl chanted it as though she was perforato
”— analysis complete We'll win for sure”
”Eh?”
”There's not much time left, so I'll just tell you the important parts”
Kagura stood up slowly as she said that calmly
”Sheltis, you should know that this is one of the syste the deciits It is speculated that the reason for such a systeers On the other hand, Maha's chants utilizes a ternary numeral system made up of 0, 1 and 2 'Ka', 'da' and 'za' corresponds with the digits '0', '1' and '2' respectively These digits are endoith , which are then used to construct complicated and powerful spells”
Kagura lifted her head slowly
Her dark-green hair was of shoulder length, and her ears were extending horizontally outwards
”Phew, it's been a while since I removed my mechanical helmet The winds are really comfortable”
The young girl closed her eyes in pleasure as she stood against the wind
”I originally thought 'ra' corresponds with '3', which will make it a quaternary numeral system However, the frequency of '3' is way too small Therefore, I deemed it to serve the same purpose as the comma '、'”
”But, why”
”Why am I sure it's a ternary numeral system? The hint lies in the name of the art, the 'Golden Hexahedral' I've no idea if you know this, but a regular hexahedral is cube Well, I guess it will be easier to understand if you picture it as a dice It represents the length, breadth and height — and all the independent elements will result in a three-dimensional body It is similar to the concept of the ternary numeral system with the three independent elements of 0, 1 and 2 That is the reason why Maha's art is named 'Golden Hexahedral'”
Kagura opened her eyes once more
With her shi+ny black eyes filled with an absolute confidence, Kagura pointed towards Maha
”Those powerful spells of Maha are supported by these complicated chants Itweaknesses within his spells”
But— as she said that, Kagura looked in the direction of Sheltis
”That is if you believe me”
”Sure I'll do just that”
” You should at least hesitate a little in a situation like this”
Kagura covered her aze
”Your powers earlier were not shi+nryoku, but ht?”
” So you've seen everything”
”You are really an unfatho mateki in his body? To be honest with, if I had seen that randoenshu”
Said Kagura bluntly
”You're an idiot for allowing soe powers What are you planning to do should I tell others about it?”
””
That's right He'll be exiled from Tenketsu Palace <sophia> once more should that happens He will never be able to fulfil his promise to Ymy
But if I do otherwise, I'll never be able to protect Kagura
”I—”
”Don't put on such a sullen face”
That line froura ay beyond what he had expected
”Thank you for revealing such an important secret to me You were forced to use your mateki in order to protect me, aren't you? You showed me your mateki because you believed that I'll keep that a secret”
The People of Nell will reveal their s on the face of the young girl The face revealed by the loss of the helmet
”Ahh, this is great You've finally answered my question And with that, I am finally able to put the pride as a People of Nell on the line — in order to repay your trust I shall entrustto you”
With her right hand still pointing towards Maha, she placed her left hand softly on her chest
