Chapter 136: 136
“… Er, it’s Tilty Claret, who’s going to be in the magic bureau today. Get along…… can we get along? Tilty?”
“What do you think people are about? I’ve left this for you, Tilty Claret.”
Before I left for Magic City, I was supposed to introduce Tilty to the members of the Magic Bureau, but this woman is good enough to wear a white robe over her regular purple dress. However, it stands out because it’s for daylight or because I hide my face in a black vale and even give it an umbrella at the end of the quote.
Everyone is blinded and distracted by the intimidation they feel at first glance. The most pale is Navre, who seems to be bright in aristocratic circumstances. The moment I heard the family name Claret, I was immediately changing my complexion.
“… excuse me. My name is Navre Sprout. Excuse me, but are you sure you’re the lady of the Marquis Claret family?
“Right? Notorious Marquis Claret, what is it?
“Yes, no. I’ve heard your name as a famous pharmacist.”
“Phew…?
Tilty clouded his words so that he could lose interest after turning his umbrella around, looking at Navre, who would elucidate as he panicked. Really desperately bad with people……!
“Because it’s my corrupt edge, and even if I say Marquis, as you can see, I’m no good at pulling cages. You just have to treat me right.”
“Am I supposed to say that…? Well, I’m the Marquis’s Lady, so wouldn’t you be rude…?
Ask me how Charne odood my treatment of Tilty. Tilty herself is the one who cares about Charne, but it also seems to be right for the maid who refrains behind it.
Behind Tilty still stands the exclusive maid like a shadow. It’s like being faceless and not being slight from earlier. Usually when I see him, the shadows are too thin to pay attention to, but if I observe him again, I feel somewhere similar to Tilty.
The maid’s hair color is a little darker purple than Tilty’s, but her back length is almost the same, and maybe if she disguises herself a little or hides her face in a vale, she’ll mistakenly see it as Tilty. Could it be a shadow fighter…?
“Everyone’s name is Anis. Sure, you were Viscount Charne Persimon, weren’t you?
“Yes!
“I don’t want you to respect me as a marquis, or a woman who hasn’t even shown her face at a social meeting in the first place. I won’t tell you to treat me like a civilian, but if you stick with me appropriately, I won’t stand a grunt. Rather than, would you mind more than necessary?
“You did it fast, you insidious giddy mushroom woman!
“Shut up…”
Tilty is twirling her umbrella as she groans annoyingly. You communal sickness…!
“You don’t have any specifications, anything to wear out even if they treat you like a marquise anyway. It’s easier for me to treat you like that from the start, and it’s better for each other not to let you waste your effort, right? What are you unhappy about?
“… oh, like Ennis”
“A little gaggy? Will you stop that disgraceful perception?
Gakun got annoyed with the convincing look on his face. I’m not with such a shady guy!
Navre is sighing with his head. It was Priscilla and Tomas who were flat. The two of them look at each other, and they nod to each other, yeah. How long have we been so close?
“If you are immersed in your hobby, you are accustomed to your sister Wang.”
“… right”
“Are you going to put me together with this guy too?”
“I think the root part looks just like that, huh?
I am unintentionally stunned by Tomas’s allegations. Oh no… there must be such a thing…! No, hey, I also feel I can’t deny it just a little bit, but I just don’t like that……!
“I don’t care, but if we’re done face-to-face, aren’t we leaving?
“I guess this is what’s happening because of you!?”
“Ma’am, we have loads to load, so we’ll take the carriage. We ask that you do not disturb others.”
“Yes, yes, I know…”
“I really know!?”
When the maid says without changing her expression, the boulder Tilty looks like a pain in the ass too. Even if I yell at you, it’s like I don’t even show you how I care!
In the end, if I can’t help talking like this, I tried to leave…
“Hey, can’t you manage to pack some more? What about this air bike?”
“Do you go out of your way to get behind me and say?
“I don’t like other people… I’m a man”
“You’re a bad woman, so you need to care? Or shut your umbrella!
“Yep…?
Are you sure it’s okay to take him to the City of Magic!?
With that happening, I drove my air bike back to the City of Magic, and Tilty, who was riding behind me, said…
“… uhh… disgusting…”
“You’re lying…? Even airbikes get drunk, Tilty.”
He placed his hand on the air bike and bent his back with a bright blue face. It’s just motion sickness, I think an air bike is a totally non-intoxicating ride compared to a carriage or something!?
Eventually, Charne will accompany me until I feel better, and I will give Uncle Dragus and Priscilla a report of my return, as well as the documents I received in the Wang capital.
Navre and Gark went to show their faces to the Knights, and Tomas headed to the private room to which they were addressed.
“… Tilty, are you sure you’re okay?
“How long have you known the Marquis Claret?
“It’s a rotten edge from childhood…. Well, is that the only childhood you’re familiar with?
Priscilla asked me about my relationship with Tilty on the way back to the city after I finished giving her reports, papers, etc.
I’ve known Tilty for a long time. Except for Ilaria, she’s the longest relationship I’ve had. Although I can’t say we’re close from the bottom of our minds just because we’ve been dating a long time.
“My thoughts don’t have to mesh. I’m not a bad guy, I’m sure of my arm as a pharmacist, and I admit it because I’m an expert in a different field than I am.”
“As long as it takes.”
“… Well, it’s true that Tilty would be helpful if he could come. However, Tilty, as you can see, is weak. I wonder what the pharmacists would do if they weren’t curative at all?
“Are you worried?
To Priscilla’s inquiry, I inadvertently stopped saying the right thing. Somehow I scratch my cheek.
“… I don’t want to admit it, because even that one is my friend”
“Really? Then I will take good care of you with all my sincerity.”
“It would help if you did.”
The conversation with Priscilla is broken and we return to the city. But I heard voices coming from outside the city. There were three people talking: Tilty, Charne and Tomas.
Tilty seems to be asking the two of us if she’s back in shape yet. Then you noticed me, and you turned your gaze over the vale.
“You’re back, Master Anis. It’s quick, but can I try everything? I’ve been hearing from both of you about the demon stone activation experiment, but I thought you might actually want to try it.”
“It’s good to try, but are you feeling better already?
“If you have feet on the ground, you’ll be fine.”
What kind of logic is that? I accidentally get zero sigh.
“… well, fine. Is Tilty a lightning attribute fitness?
“There’s nothing you can’t use.”
“… by the way, what are you best at?
“Darkness”
“… right”
“How did you convince me?
“Yes, sir. Priscilla, I’m sorry, but can you bring me Fenrill’s demon stone?
“I’m in awe”
Priscilla entered the city hall in a courtesy and brought me Fenrill’s demon stone.
I unseal the box that seals Fenrill’s demon stone and give out Fenrill’s demon stone. Tilty, peering into Fenrill’s demonic stone, is turning an interesting gaze.
“Huh, this is Fenrill’s demon stone, huh?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
“Use physical enhancement, then let the magic flow and look. If you could use the lightning attribute, would you be aware of that? Because I think if it starts up well, the magic will reflux… and then I’ll lend you a celestial, so release the magic.”
“Okay. Well, I’ll give it a try.”
Tilty touched Fenrill’s demon stone as he played his voice with pleasure. Tilty was touching the demon stone… but it doesn’t look like a change has happened.
Failed to start? And looking at Tilty surprisingly, Tilty seemed to observe him quietly re-touching the Demon Stone several times.
“… How’s it going?
“… right”
When I ask, they reply with the sky up there somewhere. Tilty, who had once let go of his hand or looked closer, was satisfied or stood up away from Fenrill’s demon stone.
It doesn’t look like Fenrill’s demon stone has been activated. I mean, can’t Fenrill’s demon stone be activated by Tilty’s magic?
“Master Anis, why don’t you try?
“Yes? Me? I don’t think I can start it, do I?
“If you do it normally. That’s why I want you to see the magic of the dragon.”
“… why again?
I want to see how you react.
“… ok”
As Tilty prompts me, I concentrate my consciousness on the engraved mark as I touch Fenrill’s demonic stone. Replace the magic of the engraved dragon that awakened with my magic as a calling water with my body, and attempt to flush it into the demonic stone of Fenrill.
Moment after moment, thunder poured out of Fenrill’s demonic stone and my hand was bounced off. It’s like when Charne activated it.
“Said.”
“… I knew it”
“I made you understand!?”
“I just expected it. Here, show me your hands. I’ll fix you up.”
Tilty took my hand and used healing magic to heal it gently. Although it was not painful, the pain was completely removed.
“… that’s unusual, I can’t believe Tilty uses magic that easily”
“It’s a necessary expense. And I found something interesting.”
“What did you find out?
I ask Tilty as I stand up. Tilty who stood up in the same way, but I guess Tilty is laughing even over the vale, it came through.
Because Tilty was shaking his shoulder. Tilty is inspired by curiosity when he’s reacting. Not very nice.
– He’s alive.
“What?”
This demon stone is alive.
Alive? A demon stone? I frowned unexpectedly at Tilty’s words.
“Of course, it’s dead as an organism. Yeah, well, it just means you’re alive.”
“In other words?”
“This nucleus is still trying to live. It’s a dormant state of affairs, so if you flush” adaptive magic, “you’ll wake up. To try to live, to try to live.”
“What do you mean…?
“This demonic stone is still alive as a nucleus, as it was when there was a body. I’m trying to misrepresent the bearer of adaptive magic, the body that created me, or anyone close to it, as the body.”
Tilty told me, and it was Al who I remembered unexpectedly. Al Kun took Raini’s demonic stone and vampired it.
Sure, though Al felt like vampire power was biased against regenerative abilities then… what if that wasn’t just unfamiliar, but the result of trying to survive the magical bearers that Demon Stone adapts to?
“The environment in which demonic stones are born in the first place is a weak and strong diet. Seek strength to the point where demon stones are born to survive. It’s the instinct to live there. If you say that the original stone of the demon is a spirit, then the demon stone can be explained if you think that the spirit can wield the power that the creature with the demon stone has optimized to live.”
“… why did you let me shed my magic?
“The magic of dragons is the magic from which demon stones are derived. That doesn’t mean you accept magic that might be repainted.”
After all, demon stones are incompatible with each other’s magic powers, or you rebel even when you think about them because of how they are created.
“But I used the magic potion that I made by crushing and mixing all sorts of demonic stones, didn’t I?
“Isn’t that because you ingested it in the form of medicine? It must have taken in demonic stones as a result of a minimal competition for survival in the body. I wonder if the side effect of mood augmentation when using magic potion is the instinctive augmentation caused by the struggle for survival that has taken place in your body?
With his arms together and his fingers up, Tilty sets out his hypothesis.
“The demonic stone taken in the body is the power of those who instinctively take it in. But the nature of the demonic stones taken in doesn’t always match the body. So a demon stone that doesn’t fit loses its function as a demon stone when it is taken in by the holder of a magic stone that doesn’t suit you. And then maybe it regresses or vanishes as a spirit before it degenerates? So the effect of the magic potion is not permanent, and the engraving mark that anchors the magic stone on the body must be the right answer for humans to deal with the magic stone.”
“… that magic between demon stones that are compatible with each other can be compatible?
“Yep. Isn’t that why so many demons with demon stones are one kind of guy at a time? The more similar individuals are taken in, the more power they have as individuals. If you think about it, you’ll be convinced that demons attack demons in some ways.”
Tilty’s right, demons with demonic stones don’t often have more than one of the same individuals. It is basically one species at a time, and that is why those who fought and won against Demon Stone Holding have used Demon Stone as a proof of their honor.
If the demon stone formed by survival instincts is an instinctive habit to gain further power, the ecology of demon stone is also satisfactory.
“So… a human being with the power to adapt is seen as a” new body “to Demon Stone?
“Right. But the only way a demon stone is for demons, not for people to deal with. So the magic dyed by the Spirit is eaten up, and it’s not easy to handle because it’s not optimized for people to handle. Oh, really… it’s just a curse!
It was well understood that Tilty’s expression, hidden beneath the vale and should only be seen grudgingly, had turned into a trance.
And as if she were in love, she shouted softly with a voice that made her feel joyful.
