Chapter 96.1 \n<h1>Chapter 96 Gratitude</h1>\n\nWhile humming and heading for the Clan Master room, I encounter Eva who was just walking in the corridor.
It has been a long time since I felt so fine and clear. Right now, I have forgotten all the stress and anxiety about the future I had always felt as the Clan Master.
Now, I am… Yes, I feel like singing and dancing alone. But I am not going to do it as I am someone badass.
I try to not show too much of my emotions but maybe Eva feels that my usual poker face is different, she surprisingly asks me.
“Did something happen? It looks like you are in a very good mood.”
“Eh…? Oh yeah? Does it look like I am in a good mood? Really? Well what should I do…”
As expect of someone I am together since a long time ago, I can’t hide it from Eva.When Eva is looking at me with an annoying gaze, I show the black bracelet on my right arm… The 『Mirage Form (Dancing Glow) 』 I just received.
After all, no slice of cake entered my mouth, but this level of things is now at a Level where I can forgive and laugh about.It seems that it was really a good timing that I went to Tino’s house.
Eva’s expression changes completely, raises the corner of her eyes and get closer to me.
“… Haa!? Did you buy another new Relic again!?”\n
“Eh? N, no, you are wrong. Tino found it and gave it to me. My debt didn’t increase.”
“… Haa… What should I think of this, this is, on its own way…”
" "
Well, I am also wandering about that, but I don’t have a say about Tino and Liz’s teacher-student relation… Even if I softly bring up the subject, Liz don’t listen at all. All I can do is keep an eye on them and check the situation that is happening from time to time.
But now, that doesn’t matter. What is great is the power of this Relic.There are innumerable bracelet-type Relic but the ability of 『Mirage Form (Dancing Glow) 』is very unique. I likey.
These kinds of Relics with specific features are really difficult to judge in term of market price as their price can greatly fluctuate depending on the offer and the demand, but it is definitively not something that can be obtained in a Level 1 Shrine.
Since the magic power was already charged inside, I show off the wonderful power of this Relic to Eva who is still having an unconvinced expression.
I have many bracelet-type Relics, so I know the knack to activate them. I extend my sense on my arm, I firmly feel the 『Mirage Form』 on my wrist, and carefully. The bracelet emits a slight heat and on the palm of my hand a glow of light is dancing.
“Here, look, Eva! It is a cake!”
“Huh, haah… It is a cake…”
The illusion I show was the cake I brought to Tino’s house.It was a cake with, on top of it, a light-yellow special cream and rare fruits collected from a forest with thick Mana Material around.\n『Mirage Form (Dancing Glow) 』 is a Relic that projects an illusion of a three-dimensional image. It is difficult to use and training seems to be necessary as to use it effectively but there are many ways to use it.
Eva looks at the cake on the palm of my hand with a somewhat inconspicuous expression, touches it and confirms that her finger pass through the image and makes a delicate expression.
Certainly, there is something that is different from the cake that I brought to Tino. It is an illusion so it can’t be help that there is no smell, nor taste nor texture but the appearance is different. That cake was made with the skill of a master who went through trial and error for ten years since I came to the Imperial Capital, it looked like a piece of art but the illusionary cake I created was something that was just similar in color and shape. If you place it next to the real thing, all the imperfection would have been noticeable.
It is because I couldn’t perfectly imagine the shape. I was addicted to the taste, so I didn’t really remember its appearance.I want to believe that if I practice on it, I will get better.
“… Look, don’t look like that… Look, I can even create Eva! Eva!”
The effective range is one meter… To be precise, it seems to be one meter and twenty centimeters. This is a distance at which you can create an illusion but it is at the same time also the upper limit on the size of the illusion you can create.In other words, you can use this Relic to approximatively make a human on a one-on-one scale. Since it is one meter and twenty centimeters around the bracelet, by adding up and down, it can go up to two meters and forty centimeters, and you are free to make whatever you want!About half of Anthem will be cut off, but if it is Gark-san then I can easily do it. There is a disadvantage that it can only be use when it is put on you but if I use it properly, it may even become a threat or a diversion in Shines!?
The only problem is that among the magic that the Mage can use, there are various magic spell with an easier and wider range to create illusions.
The Eva I created is just like the real thing if you put them side by side. They are like two peas in a pod, from her slim glasses to her glaring eyes. If you look closely, the details will be different, but they are similar enough to be called twins.
… It is only from the top of her neck though.
\nIt is Tino, the one I called. When I reply, the door narrowly open and a pair of dark eyes peek over here.
