After subduing the rebellion, mostly because it was the first time, the main culprit put the magic cuffs on his hands as usual and put them around his neck.

　Still, if you're ......, there's nothing more you can do.

　After that, I returned to the mansion with flying magic.
　We went down to the yard and walked around for a while.

　I found the guy you wanted.

"Calamity.
"Lord?

　The guardian dragon was lying in a corner of the garden with its huge body curled up like a cat.
　He noticed me coming and looked up.

"I need your help with something, okay?
"For the sake of the Lord, even your life is out of consideration.
It's not that big of a deal. You can do magic, one way or another.
What kind of things you want?
Strengthening magic and weakening magic. I'll give you something simple that will take effect right away.
"Yes, sir.

　Calamity deployed a magic circle.
　The sight of the dragon reclining and deploying its magic seemed divine.

　A flash of magic enveloped me.

Will this do?
I don't know.

　I looked down and asked the question.
　The sun is on my back so the shadows are coming in front of me, and I am now in a position to face Dorothy as she emerges from it.

I'm stronger.

　Dorothy said and reached for a garden stone right next to her.
　With her thumb and forefinger, she pinched the stone and shattered it.

"You've got a power up. I knew the power-up would go to you.
"Yes.
"Calamity, next time, please.
"Yes.

　Calamity worked more magic.
　Dorothy's eyes glazed over and she fell asleep.

Sleep magic.

　With the help of Calamity, tested one after another.

　Enhanced magic, weakening magic, and pure offensive magic.

　Regardless of the type, it seems that when you're in my shadow, it all comes down to you, Dorothy.

......

　After finishing the test, Dorothy didn't say anything, but her eyes were shining.
　I can repay you with this--even though I can't read your mind, I can clearly see that Dorothy thinks so.

　Then let's make her feel a little better.

"Calamity, I want you to go along with the test a little longer.
Whatever.
I'll go first this time.

　Close your eyes and feel Dorothy's presence.

　While I was casting the spell on Calamity, I was doing some analysis, just to be sure.
　I found out something interesting, so I did it.

　I open my eyes and see Calamity.

There: ......

　It wasn't Calamity that reacted first, but Dorothy.
　She recognized him right away.

"How is Calamity. Can you move?
"Move?　...... mmm.

　Calamity freaked out, jumped.
　She struggled, but she couldn't move.
　I feel like I've been trapped.

Was this the Lord?
"My Magical Eye ......?

　Calamity and Dorothy, nodding to them.

"Yes, Dorothy's magic eye.
"No. ...... It's what I was born with
"After using it, I understand now. This is a special skill, to use it, you need blood--blood, as in blood.
"Yes.
"It's available to me while Dorothy is in the shadows, it seems to have happened.
"So ......

　murmuring to himself, Dorothy.
　It is the indifferent reaction of a quiet person, but her eyes are even brighter than before.

　It's the brightest I've seen since I met her.

　I've released Calamity's bonds from the evil eye.

　In a series of steps, I've put together what I can.

　Combining Hershel's magic with a homunculus and a dagger in shadow stitching allows me to use the unique skills of the person in my shadow to replace any magic they cast on me.

　Now Dorothy and Sun can do it.

　It's a versatile combination technique.
　Something else: I was wondering if there was anything else at .......

"Lord.
"Hmm?　What's up Calamity


I wonder what will happen if you use your magic eye on him.
I see. You're right, Calamity, you've got a good point.

　It would be good to see that too.
　What happens if you use a unique skill on him.
　You certainly should try it.

So I'm going to try it, Dorothy.
"Yes.
"So--what?

　The moment I saw her again, I stopped moving.
　It wasn't stopped by the evil eye, it was stopped by the presence of "her" that I saw.

What?

　Kyoton and craned Dorothy.
　Such a Dorothy was white.

　Her soul was white.
　Because of her powers as a divinity, Dorothy's soul, which had been black not long ago as an assassin, had turned white.

　When I told this to Dorothy, she looked at me and wondered what was going on.
　Calamity, the empire's guardian dragon and a primordial transcendent being, said.

"I suppose my act of taking the Lord's place as a god and protecting him counts as a good deed.
"...... Ah

　Okay, so that's the interpretation.

"A miracle of the Lord, isn't it?
