155-154 End and Start




Magic is an object of admiration for those who cannot use it.
I also wanted to become a mage before I despaired over my lack of talent. When I first looked for aptitude in my hometown, I was assured that I had no talent for magic, but then I was discovered to have aptitude as a magus, and I stalked Lucia as she worked hard.

To me at that time, when I was ignorant, magic was a miracle that made all things unconditionally possible.
I know that it is impossible for me to do so now, but I was a child at the time, so I pushed my list of the most powerful spells to my sister with a smile on my face and annoyed her, or gave her a wand that I had made and sulked when she didn't use it.

Lucia was serious and studious, so she tried her best to recreate my list of the most powerful spells by combining existing spells, even though she didn't like it.
I clapped my hands in delight, and Lucia punched me for making some minor mistakes.

Now, I feel really sorry for what I did.

Well, it's not directly related to such child's play, but at some point, she became one of the most celebrated Magi in Zebrudia, with a vast amount of magical power, magical knowledge, and countless original magic.
I had grown bored with magic, and had become enamored with the idea of a treasure that I could use.

Citri brought out a small glass jar and carefully picked up Tino and put him in it.
The pitch-black frog looked up at me with glazed eyes in the transparent bottle.

'It's all right now. ......'

No, I don't think it's okay at all. .......
He widened his eyes, lifted the bottle of Tino, which had shrunk to nothing, and frowned.

'The Witch's Miracle, Frog Edition' ...... was completed?

This is exactly the kind of magic I wanted to see in front of my eyes after reading about it in a fairy tale when I was still a child, and Lucia assured me that it was impossible.
It's a spell that appears in the third or fourth volume of the most powerful grimoire I could think of. It's a spell that I've been criticized for a long time, told that such a spell doesn't exist, that I should consider the mass and ethics of it, that I can't change it, but that I can't change it back in any way.

I never imagined that I would see it with my own eyes now, after so many years. It's hard to react when you actually see it in person.

'............ Can we put it back?

'! Kero!

'Isn't it okay to leave it like this for now? It's very cute in its own way. ......'

'Kero! Kero! Kero!

Sitri is saying something ridiculous. For alchemists, frogs are supposed to be an ingredient in potions.
Tino Toad is tapping the bottle frantically.

Can you use the High Elixir of Creation ......? Hmmm .......

I don't know why Lucia becomes an orphan and Tino becomes a frog in the first place.
Lucia and Tino are as close as real sisters. Since Lucia is less sensitive than the Smart sisters, Tino must have missed Lucia a lot.

Citrie put her hands together with a big smile on her face, as if she had just thought of a good idea.

'Let's go greet Lucia! I thought her mood would improve a little.

'As much as I'd like to welcome her, she's under siege. ......'

If Lucia and the others are here, I think it's best not to move.

Lucia is strong. She's a level 6 (and very close to level 7) magus in the Ghosts of Sorrows, second only to the level 7 Ansem. He has the highest kill score in our party (which is only natural, since he is a mage).

There is an affinity between jobs. Lucia should be able to fight off a large number of bandits easily. You can kill them, or you can put them to sleep.
No, if Lucia is here, then Luke and the others should be here too. As for Anthem and Eliza, I hope Luke doesn't ...... overdo it.

You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.
There's nothing I can do, I've got Citri, I can handle the bandits.

Just as I stood up, Arnold came running into the room, kicking down the door.
His armor was covered in blood and he looked like he had fought hard, but his expression was different from when he left, pale as if he had seen a demon.

'Haa, haa, haa............ ah............ ah... ...Cry. This is ............ not good. I don't know what's going on,...... but ............ ah ...... what's going on? What's going on?

When you say something incoherent, a thick arm stretches out and a clenched fist opens in front of you.
There were seven colorful frogs there.

............ Oh no, Tino is mixed up.







The frogs are stunned and stumbling around the inn, and they are collected in baskets on their backs as they parade through the streets.

The frogs are collected by Kyrkyr, a magical creature kept by Sitri. He finds the frogs and tosses them into the basket one by one.

Kyrkyr was in good health today. His gray, bloodless body is, however, extremely well-developed, and his bright red boomerang pants are extremely conspicuous. With the paper bag he was wearing and the faint ribbon, it was no wonder that Citry had said before that he would be caught if he was taken around outside.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, you can contact us at our own web site.
Sitri ran up to him with a smile on her face, but I still think her senses are a little off.

And since Kyrkyr, who was supposed to be with Luke and the others, was here, it seemed certain that Luke and the others had come to this city.
Regardless of why they came to this city, it was very good timing since they were in a pinch.

Arnold's face, which had been drained of blood after his friends had been turned into frogs, was completely drained of soul by the appearance of Kirkill.
It seems that he has completely lost his understanding. He carefully put his friends in a bottle and trudged along behind me.

There was a chorus of frogs not only around the inn, but all over the city of Slus.
Apparently, Lucia's magic was indiscriminate, and not aimed at Tino. Compared to Lucia's magic that I know, it's on a scale far beyond anything I've ever seen.

I'm terrified before I'm impressed.

'As expected of Lucia,......, I wonder how much she swallowed, she's quite a diaper.'

'......What do you think went wrong?'

'............I think it's my fault that I came here because they said it was a vacation and I thought I could go to the hot springs, but they made me take care of the bandits.'

That's not my fault. Tell that to the bandits.

'............ I wish the Gladys Knights had arrived in time, they're completely useless. I thought the request was a joint one!

Well, I wasn't going to take it, but...

There were frogs scattered all over the city, but some of them didn't turn into frogs but remained human.
They didn't look like bandits, and they were unarmed. They did not hide their confusion, but wandered here and there, calling for help.

I overheard them say that they were being held prisoner by bandits, and then suddenly the bandits disappeared.

'Is there a condition?'

'I think they're excluding non-combatants.'

'How?'

'Lucia-chan complained that ...... Kry-san recklessly asked her to create a magic that had no effect on ordinary people. ......'

I said ....... I'm sure I did.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea. Therefore, I asked him if he could somehow put a spell that would not work only on non-combatants.

'I thought I heard that it was determined by the amount of mana material. The reason why Arnold didn't change is probably because it's much easier to add resistance to these types of alterations than to poison. That's just what I expected from you. Mr. Arnold!



'............ ah'.


I'm not sure what to make of that. Next time I get a chance, I'll try to comfort him.

But ...... I don't think we need to worry about Lucia, but if we can't get her back, we'll be criminals beyond a barrel.
It'll start another rumor. I'm sure Mr. Gark will call me and I'll puke.

The basket is half full of frogs. As we neared the city gate, Liz suddenly jumped from the air.
Before I can scream, she kicks Arnold away, flips him over, and jumps at me. Too much freedom.

Arnold makes a strange noise from the attack and rolls on the ground.
I hug his light body. She put her cheek against mine and shouted cheerfully.

'Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry!

'............ Liz didn't just come back, did she?

It was done the other day at the [White Wolf's Lair].

'Don't worry about such details!

I can feel my heart beating fast from the chest that is pressed against me. His hand rubbed my back, and a smiling Sitri pulled my hair back and pulled it away.

I finally catch sight of Ansem's huge head poking out of the top of the gate, a huge man with an axe and a greatsword in each hand, and Luke fighting with a wooden stick, waving his hands and shouting loudly.
