138 – Platinum and Sunflowers – (5)

After that, exactly five days later, Lynxia got over her cold.

She seems to have recovered her stamina while lying in her hospital bed, and during the training that day, she showed off her stamina and achievements.

“Look! Freed! They are spirits!”

“I see.”

“Wow! I’m twitching. It’s dainty and so cute! Ah, this is a child named Clay, the land spirit. See also Fried. Isn’t it very cute?”

“Considering what happened to them, it’s not particularly cute.”

“It’s all because of the apostle’s tricks. These children are innocent.”

“Well, that’s the case… ….”

Lynxia frowned as if dissatisfied with my words, but carefully touched the spirits gathering at the tips of her fingers.

Around her small body, there were so many spirits that it was hard to count with the naked eye.

“Look. Even the spirits understand people?”

Lynxia lifted up Clay, she is an earth spirit, and she tugged at her cheeks, she said. As she put on one of her spirits in each of her hands as if she were doing her puppet show, Lynxia began to sarcastically in her short voice.

“Wujjujju. Our Clay doesn’t like the dull and unfriendly knight, right? Yes?”

Lin Xia made a gesture of listening to her.

Then, as I understood myself, I nodded her elongated head.

“What is that mud spirit?”

“They say they don’t like Fried~. And he is angry because he is not a mud spirit, but an earth spirit.”

“Huh.”

I smiled dejectedly at the appearance of Lynthia, who showed off a group of low-level spirits summoned through the Spirit King.

Overwhelming affinity with spirits, combined with the aid of the spirit king to back it up, he was able to command dozens of low-level spirits like Wig.

This is about the same as Merta, no more than that.

“Um.”

Come to think of it, I heard that Sinclair took good care of Merta, but I hope she doesn’t get harmed. Due to the nature of pedophilia, a mature woman like Merta would not be interested.

Thinking of that, Lyncia stumbled and collapsed.

“Lyncia.”

“…… I must have overworked it too.”

As she hurriedly approached her and wrapped her around her waist, Lynxia brushed her forehead dizzy and let out a hot breath.

It would take quite a bit of mana to maintain her spirit.

Still, since he manifested for a longer period of time than summoning the main spirit king, in a sense it was much more efficient.

First of all, he said it would take about five minutes if he pulled it out as much as possible, but since there’s no particular need to command dozens of low-level spirits, if you call a small number, you’ll be able to last several times longer than that.

If you think of Lynxia, who was trembling in fear during the battle with Slaine half a year ago, she could not help but develop her great leap forward.

“Status.”

As I lifted her up and printed out her status window, her numbers began to rise.

The moment I saw that status window, I couldn’t help but believe my eyes.

He patted the back of Lyncia, who was constantly sneezing, and muttered blankly.

“You really are a scammer.”

Apart from the fact that the other stats went up by 1 to 3.

Is it the aftermath of the contract with the King of Spirits?

Intellect had gone up by 5.

*

On that day, training continued until the afternoon.

The gymnasium was more crowded than expected, and it was all thanks to Lincia’s enthusiasm.

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes. There, it is more efficient to hold the mana pass a little loosely.”

“So you can relate to each other.”

“Exactly.”

First of all, Lincia learned how to summon three or four lower spirits under Lautrec’s guidance, control them efficiently, and use them.

It seems Lautrec has to live without the spirits for a while as the connection between the contracted spirits has been severed.

Sylphy was also severely damaged, and it seemed that she would have to recover in the spirit realm for more than two months.

And I was warming up in a corner of the gymnasium.

Suddenly!

When the sword was cut diagonally, the scarecrow was cut off showing a smooth cross section. Its sharp cutting power makes it hard to imagine that it was wielded with a wooden sword.

The moment mana is wrapped around it, even a simple tree branch becomes stronger and sharper than most steel swords.

“As expected, it’s a scam.”

I muttered with a little admiration.

Maybe it’s because he fought against quite strong enemies. My mana management skills also seemed to have risen to a level similar to that of Freed before being possessed.

At this level, wouldn’t it be possible to win against Lautrec, who uses elemental magic, and Millia, who actively uses magic?

It was a time when I was thinking such nonsensical thoughts.

“Ah, Sir Fried.”

Tigers will come if you tell them, and before you know it, Guardian Knight Milia Liantour has entered the gymnasium.

The burns on his palms seemed to have all healed, and the bandages had come off.

“Um.”

I watched carefully as Milia walked away.

Then she shook her head, as if my gaze was burdensome.

“Why, why do you say that again… ….”

“No, what can I say? I want my impression to be a little different.”

Before, Milia had a slightly cold and gloomy impression, but now she looks bright like a sunflower.

Looking at it this way, it was her older sister and her younger brother who had a very similar feel to Seira.

“Anything on my face…… Did you ask?”

“No, it’s not like that… ….”

I soon realized the reason. Milia was very uncomfortable with my gaze because she was tying my bangs.

“Milia, did you cut her bangs?”

“…… Ah, stop in the battle with Lord Lautrec…….”

“Aha.”

Come to think of it, it seems that there was a time when my bangs were short for a while in Act 2 for a similar reason.

“Actually, there is one reason bigger than that.”

“What is it?”

“That…… My bangs got tanned while using the forbidden magic.”

“Huh.”

In short, she burned and ate her head while playing with fire.

Milia said with a slightly regretful expression, probably showing my thoughts on her face.

“There was no way.”

“I know, I know. I have no intention of blaming you.”

After finally explaining that, Milia sat down on a chair in the corner of her gymnasium with her body relaxed.

The first thing Milia saw when she sat in her seat was Lynxia, who was working hard on her training. Miria, who made sure that she was not looking at us by any means, sighed slightly in relief.

Then he spoke proudly in a slightly laughing voice.

“Still, this gives her sister something to brag about.”

“What is it?”

“Sunburst. She probably never used her sister. If she uses it in High Lynx, she will be stripped of her title as an Arch Mage. In other words, I was the first to use this magic.”

“…… Okay. I see.”

“What, what is it? That strange expression.”

“Just…… How to say…….”

These sisters are competing even with useless things.

She didn’t bother to get these thoughts out of her mouth, she looked at Milia vaguely.

Naturally, I remembered the meeting between Seira and Milia that happened a few months ago.

“Looks like you got along better.”

I put such feelings into my mouth.

Millia shrugged her shoulders.

“Because I thought there was no reason to have a bad relationship. She seems to understand her sister as well.”

“I’m glad.”

“Thank God.”

Really, it was fortunate.

Being able to seek the aid of Seira Liantour was one of the greatest achievements I have achieved since being possessed by this world.

Unlike her original work, Milia was also actively using her own talent, magic, and this also helped her considerably. If she put Milia from the original Empress Raising together with the corrupted Lautrec right away, she wouldn’t be a match and she would have been devastated.

So for me, I had a strong wish that the relationship between the Liantour sisters would be better than they are now.

“Still, it seems like we got along really well in the past.”

“Is that so?”

“It seems like they played a practical joke. I even put magical bugs in the bed.”

“Ugh.”

Millia wrapped her hair, probably recalling painful memories.

As expected, it must have been a trauma for him.

Milia, who had been groaning for a long time, lifted her head and asked.

“But how does Sir Fried know the story? Did your sister tell you?”

“No, I read it.”

“…… Read?”

Millia tilted her head, not knowing what she meant.

I explained without much thought.

“When she stayed at High Linx, she had a diary in her bedroom, so I thought about it.”

“… ….”

And as soon as I finished speaking, I realized I had made a mistake.

Milia was staring at me with a face red like a carrot.

“Ah, ah…… Ah…… Uh huh.”

Milia tried to say something, but all that leaked out was faint breathing.

At some point, her tightly pursed lips began to tremble…….

“Uh, uh uh. Millia?”

“… ….”

Milia’s dark blue eyes started to tingle before she knew it.

Ah, you know that. A feeling of resentment, as if her tears were about to come out at her extreme shame.

Milia hurriedly lowered her head, and she trembled her clenched fists.

“Maybe…… The one who showed her room to Lord Fried… ….”

“That, well, I remember well… ….”

“Isn’t that your sister?”

“… ….”

My silence seemed to be enough of an answer.

Millia still jumped up from her seat and began her trudge to the outside of her arena.

“Over there. Millia?”

“… ….”

“What are you going to do… ….”

“Let’s cast the forbidden spell.”

Milia muttered without looking back.

“A guy who can reach High Linx.”

“… ….”

It seemed that somehow, he had unintentionally alienated her sisters.

“Sorry.”

I tried to apologize honestly, but Millia had already left her gym.

I couldn’t help but sigh as I looked at Milia’s confident back as she gradually disappeared.

I almost started swearing at the overwhelming anxiety.

It wasn’t just because of the feud between Seira and Milia.

“… ….”

Look at the timer that came up in the corner of your field of vision.

[ Act 4 – Cult of the Moon ]

＞ D – 39

The fourth act was approaching.

The 4th act of Raising the Empress was the most notorious part of the whole scenario.

If you follow the original story, in the fourth act, one of the guardian knights will face a certain death.

Yes. Milia Liantour.

For her, her cruel end awaited: being swallowed whole by Sepia, a demon from another dimension, whose servant Arwen, the apostle of corruption, serves.

“…… Are you going to shoot them to death?”

That’s why I quietly made up my mind as I watched her back as she walked away.

For a perfect happy ending.

I was thinking of doing anything this time.
