The next day - we came back to earth after a long absence and slept through until noon with flying colors.
　As it was, I thought it wouldn't be bad to sleep through the entire day today. But when I looked at the HP and MP in the 'display', both had recovered to their maximum value, so I scolded my body for trying to be lazy and got out of bed.

　Ryner and Titi had gotten up before me and were training for wind magic in the corner of the borrowed room. Ryner was down early yesterday, so he seems to be recovering well. Titty looks the most energetic, perhaps because of her race.　

　After the three of us firmly ate lunch at the inn together, we decided to aim for Hoozeyer's as planned yesterday. As far as we did a light preliminary investigation in the 《Dimension》, there was no doubt that Rastiara was in the cathedral, so all that remained was to meet her in person. Just in case something happens in the cathedral, I was careful not to use up all my magic power with the 《Dimension》.

　Crossing the border from country to country, the closer we were to the labyrinth, the faster we would be able to cross the border. In less than an hour's walk we enter Hoosier's and take in its overly rich (・・・・・) view of the city.
　Me and Ryner are open-mouthed in amazement, while Titty excitedly scurries around like a country girl.

'--Oh, wow!　This country is more opulent than that Valtese one!

　She was right, it could only be described as opulent.
　The 'magic stone lines' that are unique to this other world's culture glittered in the sunlight, and there were more than twice as many of them as before. There were more than twice as many of them as when I came before. Not only at the edge of the streets, but also in many newly built houses, a large number of "magic stone lines" are stretched across the streets.

　Hoosiers is a country with many wealthy people.
　Originally, there was a lot of luxury and opulence. And now, the gleam that was painful to the eyes was doubled.

'No. ....... Isn't this too funny ......?
"- Yeah, something's wrong. Something's wrong. Be careful, Lord.

　To my question, Ryner, who has lived in this city before, agrees. Then he moves his eyeballs restlessly, selects one of the funny things and glares at it.

　The wheels are spinning on the 'magic stone line' with a light sound of karaoke.
　A locomotive was running through the city. Although not large enough to carry people, goods are being transported at a considerable speed.

'There wasn't one of these things when I lived ....... In the year we were gone, maybe ....... That guy (・・・・)--

　We had an idea of who had caused this situation.
　In order to confirm that, I'll have to hurry onward.

But first, Lastiara. Let's get to the cathedral first.

　You can't move forward forever if you stop at every new thing. I walked with Rainer and Titty down the streets of the ever-changing Hoosier's. We made our way to the center of the city in a few minutes.

　After a few minutes of heading into the heart of the city, we arrive at the center.
　To the cathedral, the symbol of the city.

　The landscape around the cathedral has changed completely, but it is still the same.
　It is surrounded by trees, fences, and a river, and is a fortress with a bridge over it. It's just like the cathedral I remember.
　In the past, in order to kidnap Rastiara, I had to force my way into the building from the front.
　But this time, I'm thinking of entering from the other side. Because there is a liner who is familiar with the inside, so there is no need to get lost.
　But when I ask Ryner for that guidance, he gives me a strange look.

'No, Christ. You should just go in the front door. The charges of that day have already been expunged. Just be honest with me and ask for a legitimate audience. I mean, Christ is the founder of the Levantine religion, so you should be more imposing.
'No, I don't have any real feelings about being called the founder or anything like that ....... I only have memories of committing crimes here .......

　When I kidnapped them, I cut down a lot of knights.
　It takes a lot of courage to go in head-on.

''Then you'll have to wait a bit. I am the Lord's knight and I will go through with it. Let me take care of this.''

　With that, Ryner leaves me and Titi and heads alone to the Cathedral Bridge.
　We quietly watch it from the shadow of the city.

　First of all, Ryner spoke casually to the heavily armed knights guarding the bridge.
　At first, Ryner was looked at as if he was looking at a suspicious person, but as he proceeded to talk, the heavily armed knights' complexion turned blue.

　After eavesdropping on the 《Dimension》, it was clear that Ryner was using the fact that he was a former 'Celestial Knights' and that he was a former 'Celestial Knight' and that he was a member of the four great noble families of Helvilleshain to threaten them. Even if there is no way to prove it, just feeling the magic of the boy in front of you, a knight who has a taste for magic in his own right would be forced to believe it.

　It's not a very commendable act of using power and force, but it helps to get the conversation going quickly.
　A few minutes later, one of the knights of the guard pulls back into the back and immediately brings in someone who is probably his boss.

　The figure was familiar.
　A brown, short-cut girl - Ragne Kaikwola-chan. Although she wasn't blessed with a good physique, her talents were abundant, and she was the youngest and most talented woman to become a 'Celestial Knight' (Celestial Knights). I remember her well as I fought her twice, in the Labyrinth and in the 'Dance Party'. She's a girl with such a unique way of fighting that she makes that Rustyala say she specializes in 'numbers that cannot be expressed in numbers'.

　Ragne-chan's face brightened when she saw Ryner's appearance.
　Then, after exchanging a couple of words, she turned her attention to the direction we were in. When she sees me, her face lights up even more and beckons me over.

''Hey. Long time no see, Ragne-chan .......
Hmm. Nice to meet you, Ragné and your sister. You are Titi, and that's nice to meet you.

　We moved to Ohashi and exchanged greetings and introductions.

It's been a long time, hasn't it? It's nice to meet you too. It's nice to see you here, so please go to the cathedral. I'll take the liberty of showing you to the drawing room.

　At the same time, we shake hands with each other.
　And thanks to Ragne-chan, we are easily allowed into the cathedral.

''What, are you okay with being independent ......?''
"Hmmm. To tell you the truth, I've recently become the president of the Celestial Knights!　So, I'm in charge of all the security here now!

　We walk past guarded knights who salute with their swords to their chests, and finish crossing the bridge as we talk.
　Past the bridge, the path is lined with coniferous trees on both sides. We walk slowly today on a path that was once forcefully rushed through.

'Oh, you're the President?　Um, congratulations on that. That's a big promotion.
However, it was only because President Perciona and his deputy were loaned out for the war that they were brought up to speed. It was just a coincidence, not a meritocracy. To put it bluntly, I was useless in the war, so I was left behind.

　It doesn't seem to make sense to congratulate the President too much. I immediately stopped applauding.
　However, since this is the small talk of the locals, I decide to gather information without interrupting the conversation. I know that this Ragne is not the kind of girl who would lie for nothing, so now is my chance.

''But then again, Foozeyards has changed. It's in great shape after being away for a little over a year.'
Come to think of it, where has Kanami's brother been for a whole year?

　From the looks of it, I can tell that I'm not supposed to have died in the fight against Palinkron. If you put together the stories of the people in the tavern yesterday, I guess I'm a heroic person who has disappeared.

''Ah, well, the three of us here have been playing far away from the mainland. It's a lot farther away than the mainland.
I'm going to go away for a visit to .......　That's nice, I'm jealous!
It's why I can't keep up with the Allies at the moment. If you'd like, could you give me a quick rundown?
You ask your brother for help, I'll do it.

　With a tap on his modest chest, Ragne graciously obliged.
　The conversation continued as we passed the cathedral road and looked at the flowers in the opulent garden.

'First of all, Fuzzy Yards. Only in this country, isn't it a little too amazing?'
That's right, the Hoosiers are the best country in the world today. "That's because Foodsayers is now the best country in the world, and it's the only country in the world that has been able to unify the conflicts in the South over the past year, and it has become the head of the Allied nations. It's the same on the mainland, and now the world revolves around the Foodsayers.
'Ta, that's great ...... in just one year. But how come it's suddenly .......
It's all thanks to Aide. He did a great job in the year when Kanami-san wasn't around. He'll probably be in the textbooks.

　--Aid.
　I had a good idea.
　The expressions on the faces of Titi and Ryner, who knew the man by that name, change.

'Aide ......, what did that guy do at Hoosier's ......?'
We provided a large amount of technology and information. As I recall ......, we improved the 'magic stone line', established a new means of transportation, improved the trade situation along with it, modified agriculture and industry in each country, and unified the system of treatment of slaves. However, not all of them have penetrated the country successfully. I'm a knight, so I don't think the general public understood much better.

　My face pulls up at the lightest enumeration.
　Although he was a human being from a thousand years ago, Ayde was influencing the world with no mercy whatsoever.

'The greatest achievement among them is the advancement of magic technology. This is so easy to understand, anyone can see how great it is.
What kind of advances in magical technology have you made ......?
I've solved the principle of magic itself and proved that anyone can control the magic of this world. The textbook of magic at Eltraluu Academy has been completely rewritten. Because of that, the standard of wizards has risen a lot. The number of wizards has increased as well.

　However, from what I've heard so far, I thought that all of Eid's accomplishments were for the benefit of the people.
　I was surprised at the amount of interference in the world, but maybe I'm just doing what I can for this world.

''Also, the amount of 'chanting' has increased all at once. The most disturbing of them all is the phenomenon of 'compensation (...)' that occurs when 'chanting' is adapted to 'inborn skills'.

　-- was soon to be withdrawn from my impressions.

The 'price' is a technology that squeezes out magic power beyond its limits, and the value of the person who wields it has risen dramatically. And speaking of magic, the country has revealed a lot of magic technology that was kept secret. One of the best examples is 'Jewelcrus'. Because of Aide's revelation, there was an uproar that the research institute of "Jewelcrus" was destroyed all together. It's been about half a year since that happened.　It's a bit nostalgic.

　You can do whatever you want.
　This was the moment when stopping the id was a priority for me.

"Lagune-chan. Do you have any idea where this idol is now?

　I'm a little sure, but I'll check it out just in case.
　Where and what is Ayde doing right now--.

Yeah, that's the thing.　Oh, my God, you're an idol!　We have extracted as much money and connections from the Confederacy as we can from this country and defected to our enemies in the North!　...... No, it was important! And then, as if following the legend of a thousand years ago, they set up a man called "The Lord" as their king and began to play the role of "Prime Minister" in the north. This new country was so strong. Thanks to this, the "Borderline War" on the mainland, which was thought to be a temporary truce after the "Catastrophe" of a year ago, has intensified again, and it's causing me a lot of trouble. No, but it's thanks to that that I became the president of the United States.

　The Catastrophe of a year ago was the battle between me and Palinkulon.
　Even though that 'catastrophe' caused so many people to be swept into the 'World Consecration Army', in just one year, the Ayde had managed to rebuild the world.

　And if I'm not mistaken - it was in order to continue the battle between the North and the South a thousand years ago.
　The reason I went to the trouble of making the Hoosiers take an active role in the South so that the Hoosiers would be the center of the battle is to make them recreate the Hoosiers of the past - no, to create an enemy nation worthy of the 'ruling king (Lord)'.

　We now know that the Ayde's every action this past year is for the sake of the Lord.

'You're serious, Ayde's guy: ......

　I glanced behind me and saw that Titi's face was dark and somber. Me and Ryner, who knows what's going on, have a similar expression.

'Oh, is that ......?　What's wrong with you?　We're talking about people who don't have much to do with us as long as we're in this union.　Did I say something bad: ......?

　Sensing that the air between the three of us has darkened, Ragne starts to get impatient. She seemed to think she had been rude to me without realizing it.
　Immediately I bring the brightness back to my face and tell her not to worry about it.

'No, it's not your fault, Ragne. Thank you for teaching me everything. It helped.
Oh, yes. You're welcome.

　The conversation was interrupted.
　We observe our surroundings, trying to find a new topic of conversation.
　In the meantime, we climb the long stairs to reach the cathedral. We open a door with many layers of sacred magic wards and enter.
　Along the way, I noticed that Ragne's gaze was directed to a certain spot several times.
　It was the sword that was hanging on my waist.

''Uh, er, ......, Lagne-chan. Are you possibly curious about 'This Sword (Rowen)'?
Oh, you found out?
'Just look at it. ....... Do you want to hold it?

　He tried to give her the treasure sword that was still in its scabbard.
　There was something I was curious about. Once, once, Ragne had held this sword in her hand. The unidentified premonition she felt at that time - she wanted to take this opportunity to find out what it was.

''No, it's fine.''

　But Ragne refused.
　She shook her head with a blank expression. Then, she smiled indifferently.

''That's right, as a knight, I want a famous sword. I admire that swordsman, Lowen-san, and I have the confidence to use it well. You have to be able to get the best out of it.

　The mention of Rowen gave me the same chill from her now as the end of that 'dance party'. For a moment, I lost track of who I was talking to.

'After all, a sword is a sword. More importantly, what I want right now is--oh.

　In the middle of that conversation, Ragne's feet stopped.

It's here. So I guess that's it for useless talk. Please wait here. I'll be back with the young lady soon ...... but I'm a busy man now, so it may take a while.

　They led me to the front of a beautiful room that looked like a parlor and told me to wait inside. After that, Ragne ran off at a small run to call Rustyala.

　I wonder if it was my imagination that she seemed to have escaped from Rowen's story .......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier," he said.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Let's take our time waiting.

　Following that, Titi and I were about to sit down in our chairs when the door to the room that has just been closed opens.

　I'm sure you'll be able to see that the priest and the two girls in attendant uniforms are of high status at a glance, almost as a replacement for Lagune.

　The priest with severely muddy eyes and twisted black curly hair. And the two behind them were also distinctive, wearing a kind of mask (visor) that covered only their eyes. It's a stylishly painted mask that goes well with their silver hair, but it's too suspicious to be worn by an attendant.

It's a good thing that you're here. The Cathedral of Fuzzyards welcomes you. Good to see you, Master Kanami.

　A priest with muddy eyes suddenly appears and is happy to see me again.
　However, I'm having trouble getting his name out of my head. He came to me by surprise, so I can't immediately connect his face to my name.

'Uh, uh, ......'

　It's hard to expose the memories in his head these days, probably due to the mixture of people he knew from a thousand years ago. When I managed to stall for time by slurring my words, the priestess let a little vein rise in her temples and told me her name herself.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. You're going to be able to get the best out of it.
Oh, it's been a while: ......

　Finally, I remembered, albeit faintly. As I recall, there was someone like that when I kidnapped Rustyala from the Cathedral before.
　The one who had repeatedly screamed at me to get rid of me during the ritual.
　However, since I fought with Arti and Palinkron that day, I couldn't help but be less impressed with the rest of them. Please, please forgive me.

　However, unlike me who returned a simple greeting, Ryner's response was an over-the-top one.

''Feydert ......?　Why would someone as good as you ......

　The fact that Feydert appeared here now was apparently a surprise to him, as he had been working on The Seven Knights of Heaven (Celestial Knights) a year ago.

''He is a heroic figure worthy of being greeted by me. Besides, I think I'm more closely related to you ....... So--

　With a cool look on his face, Feydert snaps his fingers.
　Then the two girls who were waiting behind him start to move. They take out food and drink from the handcart (wagon) used to serve them, which they would have brought here, and begin to politely place them on the table in the room.
　Within a few tens of seconds, a scene as if we were in a fancy restaurant spreads before our eyes.
　Four glasses are lined up for each person, and three kinds of fruit wine are poured into the crystal clear, high-quality water. Then, in front of us, rare fruits that could be identified as having been brought in from far away were cut up into edible pieces, and at the back, a handy snack was prepared.

　I'm baffled by the unexpected hospitality, but I bow to them.

''Well, thank you. I thought you had something against me.

　At any rate, it crushed a ritual that would have taken many years to complete. I'm not going to complain about being attacked in my sleep.

Ha-ha. No, no way. I am aware that what happened that day was a tragedy, a misunderstanding that led to a misunderstanding. I have nothing against you. If I had to clear up one more misunderstanding, I would say that ...... it was also me who revoked the order for your capture by the Hoosiers after that. Now, no one would be more excited about your visit than I am.
Hahaha ......

　Feydert laughed, his cloudy eyes narrowing.
　I had to laugh, too.
　I've fought some troublesome enemies in their own right, so I understand.

　--This guy probably hates me a lot .......

　I'm sure you'll be able to see the bottom of my belly, which I didn't want to see, but my skills in "fraud" and "sensitivity" revealed it to me, and I was at a loss for a response.
　I'm not sure what's in the feast that's lined up in front of me right now, so I can't even touch it, because I don't know what's in it.

　As I continue to laugh dryly, Feydert calls out to his friends as well.

''Rainer Helvirshein. You too are doing a great job. You have fulfilled our orders admirably. And you have returned safely to this cathedral. We are very pleased. I can make arrangements to return to the Seven Celestial Knights in Heaven immediately.
...... Thanks. I just haven't gone to talk to my parents yet. That can wait for a while.
Hmm. You're still the same, aren't you?

　After they exchanged words meaningfully, Titi and Feydert exchanged greetings.

''Nice to meet you, beautiful young lady. I am Feydert Rioas, who is a priest here. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Hmm. The boy is Titi.

　When I heard that name and also saw her beautiful green hair, Feydert's body stiffened for a moment. Thanks to the always thinly stretched "Dimension", I don't miss the small mumbled words.

''Titi......?　No, no way: ......

　Apparently, the real name of "The Lord" has survived to this era.
　However, the vulgar girl who is now stuffing her belly full of the snacks prepared in front of her and the persona of the legendary "Lord" do not match at all, so Feydert seems to have decided that he was mistaken.

　My dry laughter really doesn't stop.

''Kanamin, what's the matter with you!　If you don't eat it, the child will take it!
Hahaha ......

　Nodding back, I sort out the information I can get from the 《Dimension》.
　In the room next to both sides, the knights are gathering one after another. Little by little, I can see in real time that I'm being surrounded.
　If you look closely, the status of the girls who are currently serving me is also strange. Their levels are in the double digits, and they are definitely more suited to explorers - or rather, assassins - than samurai.

''However, Kanami-sama. What business do you have here today?

　Feydert will use his free time to explore.
　This would be the main question. Depending on this answer, the response of the priest in front of me should be very different.

　I didn't even think to try to lie to him to get out of the situation. I'm going to tell you my true intentions.

''I need to meet with Rastiara and talk to her.
'Is it a story ....... What on earth are you going to do with your story?
Err, that's ......--

　However, I had to stammer on about it.
　Because, if we're honest, an avalanche of knights would come crashing in from both sides of the room.

　Feydert smiles thinly. He might have sensed that I had come to snatch Rustyala once more.

'To be honest, I don't have good memories of your stories and all that. I do.''
Ha, sorry. ......
'No, you have nothing to apologize for. That ritual day was the result of our lack of awareness. I believe we learned a good lesson. We really learned a lot from Kanami-sama. And I will now show you the results of that study.

　I wanted to end this quietly, but apparently it was an inevitable fight from the start.
　After checking with me, Feydert laughs challengingly and says.

''If your objective is with Rastiara-sama, it can't be helped. It's a little disappointing, but I'll go along with my original plan--

　Then, with a snap, I performed a second finger snap.
　At the same time, as I expected, the two girls who were serving me took out daggers from their pockets and split up into two and attacked me.

　Due to my ability, the surprise attack is pointless. I was expecting it, and I was confident that I could intercept them.
　But I didn't dare to move.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do this.

　--Knight Ryner Helvilshain runs through the small room like a gale, in accordance with the enemy's movements.

''--The 《Ix-Wind》!

　Before entering this cathedral, Reiner told me to leave it to him.
　Then it would be my role to believe it.
　Without making the slightest movement, I watched Ryner accelerate with magic.

　A gust of wind blew through, and a metallic sound rang out twice.
　And twice the light sound of a blade piercing a wooden board with a ton.

　Ryner, who stood on the table, had finished popping the enemy's prey, the dagger, without knocking down a single glass.
　The overwhelming difference in speed caused the two girls, who had been staked out, to stop in their tracks. Their mouths were wide open in surprise when they saw that the dagger they should have been holding in their hands was stuck in the ceiling.

　Immediately I begged Feydert to explain the situation.

'Thank you, Ryner. ...... But what does this mean? 'Mr. Feydert,'
'I mean it as it is. From that day on, it was already decided that this is what you would do if you visited the Cathedral. And you will regret giving us a year of preparation.

　Even though the surprise attack failed, Feydert remained calm.
　Then, with a bang, the door to the room was roughly opened next. A few knights who had been waiting all along entered and took their places next to Feydert.
　Little by little, things are getting bigger.

''Mmm. It's been a long time ago. This is what negotiations between people are all about.

　However, Titi was still fluently popping the food into her mouth.
　As a guardian (guardian), I guess the sweetness and alcohol in front of her is more important to her than being surrounded by human enemies.

　Since it can't be helped, it's just me and Ryner and we proceed with the seriousness of the conversation.

''Mr. Feydert, let's not. It's not a bluff or anything, we're strong ......
I know. That's why I'll generously show you the power that I traded with that Guardian of the Labyrinth (Guardian) Aide. It's a great resonance magic by artificially implanting inborn talents, specializing in one art, and 'Jewelcrus' who are paying 'price' with 'chanting' at birth - the great resonance magic by 'affinity' with all of them. Can you withstand Kanami-sama?

　-- 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelcrus)'.

　With those words, two more girls in samurai uniforms that don't look good on the battlefield come out from among the knights who entered.
　They look exactly like the two girls who attacked us earlier. No, they don't look alike - the materials used are the same.
　The four girls' "status" has the skill "body", and the four faces under the visor in "Dimension" are the same for all of them, so I'm sure of it.

　The four girls in samurai clothes chant their magic in unison.
　Frowning, they squeeze out.

「「「「--Resonant Magic, "Invisible Ice Room" 」」」」

　As if smoke was spreading, a light blue magic power filled the room.
　Naturally, with the magic power of the four same-gendered people - and a string of brilliant resonance magic was activated.

''Poof!　Christ!
Yeah, we'll be fine!
'Oh, my sweets are down!

　The space around me, Ryner, and Titi stop moving as the space around us is pushed down with magic power.

　Resonant Magic 'Invisible Ice Room'.
　I can immediately see that it is a combination of freezing magic and sacred magic. It would be a simple ward that stops the movement in space.
　However, the density and strength of that ward is extraordinary.

　The level of the four of them, the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)', is around 10. Even if they specialize in magic power, their numbers are all lower than Ryner's.

　And yet, Ryner and I, who are now approaching level 30, can't move. Even the guardian (guardian), Titi, has stopped eating.
　In terms of 'display', it was an absolutely impossible power.

''The magic up to here ......, how--!

　Maybe it's for interrogation, or maybe it's just her mouth, but she can't move her face.
　However, her face can't move even a twitch. According to his status, his muscle strength is close to 15. You can't move even with your full strength.

　I thought that just saying "resonance magic" was not enough to prove it.
　However, I would soon learn the reason for this.

　I 'gazed' at only one of the girls and continued to look at the 'status'.
　What I paid attention to was the girl's MP.

--HP19/19 MP112/112--
--HP19/19 MP112/112--
--HP19/19 MP112/112--

　Despite releasing this much magical power, her MP hasn't fluctuated at all (・・・・・・・・・).
　In order to find out the reason for this, I strengthen the power of the 《Dimension》 and go to analyze everything about the girl.

　From head to toe, every single thing.
　First of all, the girl's height and weight - I know every inch of her body, then I count the number of hairs and accurately measure her body temperature. The next step is to check whether there is any abnormality in the movement of the heart based on the movement of the lungs, and also to 'watch' the movements of breath and sweating.
　After a zero-tenths-of-a-second examination, he discovered that the blood flowing to the girl was not normal.
　Magic power is overflowing from the blood, not from deep within her body. That goes against the logic of the wizards of this world. Blood is the organ on which the magic formula is written. It is the engine of a car, so to speak, and it is not a place where gasoline goes out.

　So why does the magic power come from the blood and not the body--?

　Right now, I'm in the middle of a battle. Therefore, I was able to dredge up the memory with a different level of concentration than when I tried to remember Feydert's name earlier.
　And, luckily, I find information in my memory to guess it.

　First of all, there is a way to use magic without using MP. I just recently learned the basics of that spellcasting technique.
　Second, the blood in this world is special, and it can also inscribe magical magic formulas. In the past, Saint Tiara had even tried to inscribe her personality into it.
　And thirdly, Feredert's words earlier, "I'm paying the 'price' with 'chanting' at birth" - I know the answer to that question.

　At the same time, Feydert laughed out, confident of his victory.

''Huh, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph--!

　This cloudy-eyed priestess seems to have done something she shouldn't have done.

　--probably, these girls' blood is marked with the wording of the magic 'chanting'.

　That's probably not an extraordinary 'chant' either. What Feydert learned from the id is a 'chanting' level of 'chanting' that removes Maria's 'memory' and Titi's 'ego' - a 'chanting' that pays a 'price'.

　The magic formula is set up so that whenever these girls work on the blood to use magic, the dangerous "chanting" is always triggered.

　That's why it's possible to form a great magic like this smoothly and without consuming MP.
　That's why the girls use their magic like this in a painful way.
　It's as if they are grinding their own souls--!

'Hahaha!　We, the Foozeyers, purchased all the technology from the wise man of a thousand years ago, the id, the one who stole the logic of the tree. The Jewelculus' here are their crystals!　This inexhaustible and highly concentrated magic power surpasses even that Lady Rustyala--!　They all received the same adjustments and specialized in a single magic, perfecting it as a perfect resonant magic--!　Whether it's the Founder or the Apostle or whoever it is - there's no way they can move!

　I could see why Feydert was showing a lot of leeway.
　If it's this kind of diabolical magic, there's no reason to be sure of victory.

　I've also used 'chanting' to make up the difference in power, so I understand that feeling a little bit. It's natural that the girls are ignoring the level difference and holding us back right now.

　But it's not us who are going to get beaten up like this.
　First, Ryner shouts.

''-- Don't be like those knights out there!　I am the Knight of Helvillestein!　I have a few tricks up my sleeve too!

　He clenched his teeth and put all his strength into his body in an attempt to forcefully break the ward.
　Of course, with this alone, the wards still wouldn't be shaken.

''--!　Hah, hah, hah!

　But the weight of the liner was definitely on the magic user.
　The more the liner tried to move, the harder the girls' breaths became.
　Their expressions distorted and they visibly suffered. Their 'chanting' doesn't become a sound, it just runs through their blood, so I don't know what the 'cost' is, but I knew that something important is still being shaved off.

　If this were an ordinary wizard, he would react to the physical danger and stop his magic in the middle. However, the girls here are 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)'. They are the same species as the old Rustyala, and there is a high possibility that they have little crisis management skills.
　If it's done poorly, it will continue to maintain its magic even if it dies.

It's not a good idea to have a new one.　And Titi, let me take care of the rest here!

　So I hurriedly stop the liner.
　And while I'm at it, I also stop Titty, who was in a bit of a foul mood.

'...... Got it, Lord.'
Hmm. I'm a little angry at the moment, but if you say so, we'll see. The child is an outsider.

　After confirming that the two of them have left me in charge, I release my magic with all my might.

''--[Distance Mute]!　Cover my whole body!

　He acted by preserving his magic power for times like this.
　I imbue my entire body with the magical power of the dimensional attribute. Then, the magic 《Distance Mute》 shifts one dimension of my body. Strictly speaking, it's not the same, but my body got an effect like 'permeability'.

　And that simple but vicious effect is now in full effect. I start to move inside the ward as if the ghosts were slipping through the walls.

''--What!

　Seeing me move through the wards with a light purple luminescence, Feydert let out a bewildered voice.
　He must have been very confident. He looks like he can't believe the sight in his eyes.

　It was the same for the four girls who were activating the magic.
　From their reactions, it was clear for the first time that they had been able to break through the Resonance Magic 《Invisible Ice Room》.

　There's a gap.
　I'm not going to be able to get to know you better, but I'm going to be able to get to know you better.
　I'm going to be able to use this magic to get used to it. And it's a magic that I'll continue to rely on in the future.
　So, I take this as a good opportunity to use the fast thinking characteristic of combat to name it.

　This technique--this magic that connects the heart to the mind.
　If I had to name it--.

Distancemute Access!

　The magic, named after his heart, pulsed as lively as a watered down fish.

'Kook, ugh, oh, oh, .......'

　The visored girl moans as her arms are inserted into her chest.
　Her whole body must be surprised at the fact that she got her first 'connection'.

　Still, I don't hesitate to continue to beat the magic - my thoughts - without reservation.
　In order to make the girl lose her will to fight, I 'talk' to her with magic.
　Everything I've experienced up to today is packed in--.

'Calm down ....... We don't have to fight, ....... You can live your own life without anyone telling you what to do. You are who you are .......

　Nosufi's light magic is recreated with dimensional magic.
　Is it the magic of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light' as expected, the effects of the magic soon appeared.

　Gradually, the strength from the girl in front of me is released, and the construction of the magic is torn apart.

　However, the other three girls have not yet lost their will to fight. Immediately, I amplify the power of Distance Mute Tie-Shin (Access).
　I'm going to continue to talk to the three other girls as well.

　I'm sure you'll be able to do that by adding a few more Connection techniques to the current situation. The four girls are connected to each other at the point when they succeed in their resonance magic.
　If you trace it backwards, you can attack all four of them at the same time.

''Everyone else can also go to ......, calm down ......!

　Along with that voice, I'm also emotional.
　It shows that I don't sincerely want to fight.

　Unlike light magic, it can't work on the mind at all, so it has no calming effect or anything. But I keep praying, believing that my appeal from my heart will reach them.

　And that thought - fortunately, it reaches them without misunderstanding.

'Ugh, ugh. ......'
This is .......
'Oh, ah, ......'

　The four girls collapsed from their knees and completely lost their will to fight.
　Of course, the resonant magic, Invisible Iceroom, that had bound us, also disappears.

''Feng ....... Thank goodness ....... Thank you all .......

　While thanking him, he patted the head of the one girl in front of him.
　The girl, who was feeling a bit of abandonment about it, nodded her head and accepted it.

　It really helped. We managed to end the fight peacefully.
　I know the cause of that success.
　First of all, there was a fundamental difference in strength - and most of all, it was thanks to the girls being too innocent. As I found out after connecting with them, these girls, who were 'Magic Stone Humans' (Jewelculus), were even younger than they looked. It was their untainted hearts that made this peace possible.

　However, there's one man who can't admit it.
　It's Feydert.

'Well, that's ridiculous!　How do you disarm it?　Is that the 'countervailing magic' (counter-magic) you're talking about?　The magic from the blood formula to keep it from happening, it had to be resonance magic!　Why!

　I was speculating very misguidedly.
　Indeed, from the perspective of a first-time observer, the current situation might be extremely puzzling.

''Quintessential, Kanamin. You're the best if you let them use their cowardly hands!　You have a really bad way of fighting!

　And then, somehow, he is vilified by his fellow titties.

"You're not a coward. I fought it head on with everything I had.
No, no, it's not fair. As I said to the boy, I don't call it a fight.

　For me, I think I'm fighting seriously, but my opponent doesn't seem to be so sure. That seemed to be the same as the other fellow Ryner.

'Ki, Christ ....... The way these guys look at you, ......?　What the hell did you do: ......?

　Reiner asks in a serious voice.
　To confirm this, I glance over to the girls. Then I see four girls in a state of abandonment, staring at me with feverish eyes.
　I have a bit of a bad feeling about this.

'Let's see, ......, I've tried to recreate Nosfi's 'discussion' magic in my own way ......?'

　Since I can't use light magic, I just chose the means of directly layering my body on top of the light instead of letting it penetrate, so the effect should be almost the same. However, the result left in front of me looks a little different.

'Hmm, maybe it's that one. It's because of the powerful emotions and thoughts of the Kanamis. If these kids are really Jewelcrus, they should be a different age from their appearance. It's probably the first time they saw their mother, and their shells cracked open. Also, I think I've broken some of my mental magic.

　Titi explains to Rainer in plain English.

It's a good idea. I knew you were a soldier who was educated in mental magic. If you've solved it, that means you're a ......

　Hearing this, Ryner clicks his tongue evasively and Titty raises her hands up in amusement.

In other words, all of these kids have fallen in love with Kanamin for the first time!
What?
This is just because you have a beautiful heart, isn't it? I think we've gone on about a hundred dates because we've been able to understand each other's hearts. I know this because I've been there myself!
Date?　No, not that kind of ......, eh?　Really?
Kanamin, you should understand a little better that you are an anomaly. If the strongest thief makes a direct connection with you and does his best to 'talk' to you, you'll be very upset. But the child was fine.　Just a little cry, that's all!

　Titi finishes her explanation with a chuckle.
　The word tension was no longer a word from this room.

　But Titi .......
　Why do you look "a little" there? In truth, it would have been a big cry.

　But still, I was a little mistaken because Reaper and Titi seemed fine, but it seems to be quite dangerous to make a 'connection'. It would be better to keep it sealed off against regular people.

　I promised Titi that I wouldn't use it anymore, and then said, "No, you'll use it all the time. It's more fun! And it is denied that ...... the angry voice that cuts through that completely lightened air is flying.

''--Fu, you're kidding me!　These guys are as powerful as the Rustyara of old, and they've been given specialized treatment!　And all this in an instant.

　The seriousness of the atmosphere is already over, but you are persistent .......
　It's not a good idea to talk about it with this level of strength against these three of us from the beginning.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of the situation.

''No, compared to that time, I'm stronger in my own way too, so ......
"I won't be able to get out of it just because I'm stronger than I am!　This is a strong warding that was designed to be used against that apostle!
I can ignore the intensity and all that, so that doesn't mean much to me.
"Pardon my strength?
Yes, sir.

　I said coldly, because I'm angry in my own way against this Feydert guy. And then he confronts us with the reality that he will never be a match for us.
　But Feydert refuses to admit it.

''Well, not yet. "Well," he said, "I still have some cards in my hand. "Well, I still have some cards in my hand," he says. It's a pity that we can't capture him, but when it comes to this, we must force--!
--Federth (・・・・・・)

　A dignified voice passed by, and Feydert's body stiffened with a jolt.
　Then the owner of the voice that called his name appeared.

　A girl with mixed gold and silver hair walks in from behind the door of the room, making the knights kneel down.
　When I catch sight of her, I have the same impression I once had.
　Terribly beautiful, unrealistically beautiful - or so I thought.

　If you look into her golden eyes, you will be sucked into them.
　The skin that resembles that inviolable divine realm is divine.
　The body trembles in the artlessness of the face's construction.
　If you look at the light pink lips at a glance, you cannot look away.
　The lustrousness of her lower collarbone is mesmerizing, and her body is ultimate in femininity.
　Her limbs, not too thin and not too thick, are slender, and her chest and abdomen, not too small and not too large, are perfectly balanced.
　It is not white and simple ...... but the costume that adorns it is not a poor one, it is an exclusive formal dress that has been tailored just to enhance her.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking at.


　--It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.
