128. Confession (1)

Exorcism.

Although it may not reach Shione’s power of annihilation, it can be said that this ability alone is quite outstanding. Exorcism literally grants resistance to demonic energy. When dealing with those who have demonic energy, it works as a sufficient advantage.

‘It’s not a very good hand yet.’

Maybe it’s because I’ve just gained strength. I can tell instinctively that the resisting power I still have is not that strong.

But if I continue to develop exorcism at this rate, it may be impossible to extinguish the demonic energy. It should be possible to resist the opponent’s demonic energy and dissipate that energy.

‘As time passes, this will become a good deal.’

With this reward, I got a not bad ability.

Not only this.

In addition to exorcism, thanks to a high level of understanding of spiritism and excellent magic manipulation skills. It is said that the efficiency of spirit magic is also considerably improved by purchasing that karma.

‘I’d better check how much better it is later.’

I was thinking of checking exactly how much efficiency had risen through the use of simple magic.

After the war, Siabelle said she would teach me the sword in earnest. Because he asked if the sword could contain magic. I’d have him try magic at least once. Then you should try using magic.

I turned my attention away from the stationery in my desk drawer.

‘What should I do with the remaining quests?’

There are currently two quests left.

One quest that requires dramatic reconciliation between Shione and Shion, and one that requires an increase in Shione’s reputation.

‘I’ll get my reputation somehow.’

In the meantime, Sione has been fighting hard on the wall, and not one or two people have seen this.

In fact, thanks to the incident at this time recently, others say that Sione’s excellent bow skills and silently climbed the wall to deal with enemies.

Perhaps if this story spreads well, her reputation will improve considerably.

Shione was famous for her incompetence and her mouth. It seems like only yesterday that the attendants were swearing at her in front of her restaurant. I never thought that her recognition of her would come and go in her mouth. It’s a very new feeling.

Perhaps this quest can be broken only by spreading rumors like this and creating a good story to spread.

‘The problem is Zion.’

Reconciliation between Shion and Zion.

This is still a bit vague.

When Zion climbed up the Geary Wall and healed an injured soldier. A monster once targeted Shion. There was one time when Shione shot her bow at the right time and protected Shion….

After that, the two didn’t talk much. It’s Shion who looked down on my older sister like that. It would be hard to see him first expressing his gratitude for his previous help and asking for reconciliation.

‘Even though I covet the Seed of Power as a reward.’

I don’t want to see Shione bow her head to him.

Until a seed germinates and blooms, it is just a possibility held in oneself. Compared to the authority, it’s inferior, but it’s because I’ve gained exorcism.

You might want to take a little more time to think about this.

“I was told that the county would be hit by a torrent, but what….”

Because the cultists failed in such a big surprise.

No matter what tricks they try to do, as long as their plan goes awry this time, they’ll stay quiet for a while and try to grow their size.

For now, you can be quiet for a while. I still have quite a bit of free time left.

I shut down my deepening thoughts and lay down on my bed.

A comfort that is incomparable to a cot in a barracks pulls my mind to the surface.

I whispered as I fell asleep.

“… Government ordinance.”

Apparently, the ability to summon spirits was opened a long time ago….

For some reason, the spirit’s power was scattered and disappeared during the summoning.

I summoned the spirit again after a long time.

Whoa!!

A cold wind blows in through the cracks in the window and makes a slight stir in the room.

The gusts of wind gathered together gradually gathered.

Dig…….

“Tsk.”

As expected, they eventually disperse.

‘A spirit archer who can’t use spirits.’

Even if you have this much pure spirit energy in your body, you can’t summon a single low-level spirit.

If the damn dwarves saw this, they would have laughed, saying that the limit of a short-lived tribe is unavoidable after all.

I couldn’t figure out why the spirits weren’t being summoned.

“If possible, it would be good to find out the reason for this as well.”

After concluding my thoughts by looking for information on elves and spirits, I quietly closed my eyes. Souma overtook my mind.

I think he only blinked his eyes once.

Quite a bit of time passed quickly.

Ainel paid particular attention to the stability of the territory. As a result, the territory finally started to return to normal, and she also started repairing the walls where the horrors of war remained everywhere.

Not only this.

She finally announced that Countess Cianella’s full protection would be behind me, a man who handles magic.

Thanks to that, the story of me as the continent’s first man who uses magic has spread far and wide in the territory, without the time for the story of Shione to spread.

“Bronte, why are you staring at me like that?”

“No… it’s nothing. No, it’s not that… Do you know how to use real magic?”

“I can show you something simple right now, would you like to take a look?”

“Can you show me?”

“Of course.”

A small flame rising from the palm of your hand. Then, in succession, a magically created wind blows through Bronte’s hair.

Well, it’s thanks to Youngji and Countess that my story has spread so much that I’ve been able to listen to Bronte’s request like this.

Since then, the distinguished guests from the Marquis of Alenard.

All the wizards, including Arya and Ravi Crunel, have finally returned to the Marquis of Allenar.

‘Even though Arya was rather plain, Ravi Crunell was really annoying.’

I had a short talk with them when we briefly ran into each other in the count’s residence.

I was surprised, but unlike Aria, who showed her reaction to my magic relatively plainly afterward, Ravi Crunel behaves like a family called wizards.

Showed a deep interest in the mysteries I dealt with. I kept wanting to ask something, but it was clear that I was holding back. Wizards are those who are deeply immersed in my curiosity and quest for truth. If you look into her eyes… Ainel will protect me, to the point of thinking that if she hadn’t told me, she would have been kidnapped and dissected.

Other than the Marquis of Allenar, the situation has been sorted out. Those who applied to Countess Cianella tended to slowly return to where they were.

And now I—

“Aren’t you curious?”

Today, Shione eats fewer cookies and enjoys the scent of tea.

I sat across from her.

“Ummm….”

Gulp.

Maybe it’s because I brought some pretty sweet tea today.

Shione, who swallowed the tea she was holding in her cheeks, tilts her head at my question.

“If you ask me if I’m not curious at all… I don’t know how to answer….”

Yum.

Then, while keeping her eyes fixed on me, Shione picked up a cookie and bit it into small bites.

As if a rabbit stole a bite, it left a cute mark on the cookie.

“The source of my power. What was revealed from the castle walls would never be things that could be easily forgotten. Because there were no questions asked.”

A blow that sent a lower level demon back to hell in an instant.

The wind helped me to land safely while descending down the castle wall.

A brilliant flame that swept away enemies in a gigantic explosion and drove away the cold darkness of the night.

Let alone dealing with magic, how on earth was I able to learn such high-level magic? Sometimes I hear that discussion even in my ears. Shione showed no curiosity about the abnormal size of my arms.

Previously, Shione had asked me to explain the source of my power. Because Shione is so consistent. Perhaps, deep down, she is still curious.

She just spent her daily life with me as usual.

In the morning, we say hello to each other, and during our free time, we sit across the table and talk. Also, it was her main routine to run and run away with a tight hug, or play pranks from time to time.

“Ah, if that’s it—”

Shione smiled.

The sun shining through the bars gave her fair skin a benevolent atmosphere.

From noble mtl dot com

“Because the other day, my brother said he would let me know when the time is right. There’s no reason to ask first. Because my brother never lied to me. Literally, I’ll let you know when the time is right.”

“… ….”

“There is no need to feel pressured. I’ll be patiently waiting for you to tell me. Anyway over there-“

Shione pointed a finger at me.

Her fingertips pointed directly at my heart.

“There is also a pledge of mana in the heart, so there is no need to worry.”

After saying that, Shione smiled mischievously.

Shione stuffed the rest of her cookie into her mouth.

Shione, enjoying the sweetness spreading in her mouth, pulled her chair and sat down.

Raising her elbows on her table, making a calyx over her face, she looked up at me brightly.

“So the reason I brought up that story now… Could it be that now is the time?”

A forced reaction.

However, I could tell because her eyes were full of anticipation.

Because of what she just said herself, she took this humorous action to hide her curiosity and expectations.

“Well, even if it’s not today, definitely later—”

I quietly watched her like that, and then she quietly opened her mouth.

“I will let you know.”

“Yes… ?”

Shione’s pupils widened.

“The possessor… Have you heard?”
