47-Episode 43: Sage, Gives Out Magical Power




 Seven blackhounds are wiped out.

 Additional reinforcements are intercepted, and twenty demon corpses lie around us.

 Each of my party wipes their sweat off.
 I let out one breath.
 It was a little stiff at first, but it seems that my body has relaxed a lot.
 The second half seemed to be as strong as usual.

'How's that?' You guys, it's time to go home.

'Just kidding! You just got in. We're going to take you down with a bang.

 Cecil raises his sword.
 He still looks fine.
 He is checking the skill points he has accumulated.
 It seems to be able to acquire some magic soon.

I'm fine too. But what about Sarasa?

 Rowan is concerned for Sarasa, who is looking hurting next to him.

'Duh, I'm fine,'

 The reply comes back to me, but it sure looks painful.
 There are shades under his eyes.
 The magic power was about to run out.

 The magic power must have been eaten by 【Future Vision】 more than I thought.
 That is, it's proof that Sarasa's 【Future Vision】 is nearing completion.

 Before it's completed, I have to teach Sarasa how to fight without relying on 【Future Vision】.

''Don't push it. Try your hand.

Hands? A hand?

 Fearfully, Sarasa puts out her hand.
 I grasped it carelessly.

'Hi!'

 Hurriedly, Sarasa withdraws her hand.

'Yeah? What's the matter, Sarasa?

No. I mean... I got held by a hand all of a sudden.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You don't like it?

 Sarasa shook her head in a panic.

'It's not like that! I'd rather you touch it.

Do you want me to touch you?

 I nodded my head.
 Meanwhile, Sarasa's face was redder than a red eggplant.

''Hey, hey. Your face is kind of red. Do you have a fever?'

 I reach for Salasa's forehead to check her fever.
 It's my job to make sure the party is in good health.

'I'm fine! It's okay!

Okay. Well, can I send you some magic now?

'What? I have the magic, the potion...

''There's a time lag in the effect of the magic recovery potion. And just because the student discount works doesn't mean it's free. Save it for the big day.

Okay, all right. But you're sure? I got some magic from Mr. Lacelle.

Don't worry, there's plenty of room. Let's go.

Yes.

 Again I hold Sarasa's hand.
 It's soft. And smooth.
 But there are parts that are blistered and crushed.
 It's a sign of inexperience, but it's also a sign of well-practiced practice.

 I gently send my magic power to Sarasa.
 I could see the light at the end of my hand flowing towards her.

''Huh........ Amazing......... Lacelle-kun's magic power is coming in. It's warm.........

 Sarasa closed her eyelids, feeling my magic.
 Her cheeks were slightly upturned.
 She looked somewhat ecstatic and happy.

''So this is Lacelle-kun's magic power. It's amazing. It's something magnificent. Very gentle. ........Lacelle-kun, you're exactly like that.

'Don't use strange phrases. Magic is the same for everyone.

No. No, no. Definitely not!

 Really?
 I think it's the same for everyone.

Is that about right?

Uh-huh. Thanks.

 I let go of my hand.

 Sarasa exhaled.
 She stares at the back of my hand where I touched her.
 She's like a lover who's been given her wedding ring for the first time.

 Are you so happy that you were sent magic?

 I'm not sure about women.

Hey. Racel.

 I turn around and see Cecil standing there.
 Looking slightly up, he pleads with me.

'Is it okay with me?'

What?

He wants to share his magic with you.

What?

 No, you haven't lost that much magic power.
 Unlike Sarasa, you can only use elementary magic with low consumption.

'No, what can I say? Before coming here, I had to practice my magic on my own--

'I don't blame you...'

 I let out a breath.
 I grabbed the hand offered by Cecil.

''Hiya........''

With Salasa. Cecil. Why do you make those sounds?

I'm sorry. But, you know...

What?

'Lacelle's hands are surprisingly soft. I thought they'd be lumpier since you work out.

It means we haven't wasted our energy. Here, I'm sending you some magic.

Uh-huh.

 I send my magic to Cecil.

 Hmm? What is it?
 You haven't lost that much magic power, after all.

 But why did Cecil look happy.

''Ha-uhhh..... Ummmmmm. Lacelle's magic power is coming in. ............................It might feel a bit nice. Hahhhh........ It's going to be addictive.

 I'll stop the flow of magic.

'Hey! It's over!

You've got the magic charged, right?

'Mmm! God! Lacelle's sacrifice!

 Oh dear.....
 What's that?
 With Salasa.
 Cecil.

 I'm not sure about women.
 Does it feel so good to be sent magic power?

 Well, so be it.
 Let's get on with it.

 Then, with a thump, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

 When I turned around, it was the chairman standing there.

'Lacelle! Share your magic with me!

'Hey! What are you talking about! The Chairman didn't use magic, did he?

'I see. So I can use my magic. Well...

 [Absolute ice spear]!

 There was no pretense.
 He suddenly unleashed his advanced magic.
 Thanks to that, the surroundings became frozen.
 It completely blocked the path he was about to take.

''Hey! What are you doing, Mr. Chairman?

'Oops! I don't think we can move forward at this rate.

 No, you did it!

Don't worry. I'll break it!

 The Chairman activates magic again.

 [Storm Sulfur Dirt]!

 It is an earth magic.
 It rakes up the soil around the area with magical power.
 Furthermore, it was unleashed like a storm.

 [Absolute Ice Spear] shattering the ice.
 The road that was blocked is now open.
 Things will be back to normal.

 Hey, hey.....
 What the hell does the Chairman want?

"Oh...

 The chairman puts his hand on his forehead.
 He suddenly broke his knees and fell down.

''Ka, Chairman...?

Lacelle. I'm sorry. It seems you've run out of magic. I-I need you to send me some magic. Quickly...! If I don't, I'm going to die....

 He held out his hand towards me.

 That's how badly you want my magic!

 Also, people don't die when they run out of magic power.

''I understand. I'll send you some magic.

'Oh! Really?!

 The Chairman stood up with a bang.
 His ice eyes sparkled.

 You're fine.
 You looked like you were dying earlier.

 I had no choice but to hold the Chairman's hand.
 I sent the magic power as requested.

''Oohhhh! Is this the magic of Lacelle? Hmm. Surely this feels....nice....

Yes. That's it.

 I let go of my hand.

'No, no, wait a minute. It's too soon.

'That's because the Chairman's magic power wasn't too low.

Then.......... I'll replenish Lacelle's reduced magic power, so Lacelle can replenish my reduced magic power.

 No, I have no idea what you're talking about.

 Isn't that the same thing?

 But apparently the chairman doesn't learn his lesson.
 He takes my hand in his.
 I put my magic power into it.

'Hm? Huh?

 He tilted his head.

 Then, Cecil and Sarasa took the same posture.

'Oh, that?'

Speaking of which...


 How do you supply your opponent with magic?


It didn't feel right, though, because Lacelle did it so easily.

"Supplying people with magic...

Isn't that great!

 The three maidens are surprised.

 Huh? No, wait a minute.
 I'm not doing anything special.
 I just hold your hand and supply your opponent with magical power........

''I'm saying that's great!

 Cecil slaps me on the back with a bang.

 No, I have no idea.
 It's a normal thing to do to accommodate magic power.

 I know.....

 It's not a common practice in this day and age, when the war is gone and the supply of magic restorative medicine is constant, to do so is not a common practice.

 But I didn't know that even such a simple thing is out of date.......

 It's rather strange to me how you guys have been able to live.
