Chapter 395 â White Flame Sage Hand
The voice was reverberating directly in my head and heart. It was the goddess. I felt a mysterious weight pressing down on my shouldersâŠ
And then I started to gradually lose mana.
âOoohh? A Battle Spirit clad in a garment of water?â
âIs he someone belonging to the twelve distinguished families?â
âI thought the huge black beast might be a guardian, butâŠâ
âBut, heâs not wearing an army uniform.â
âRather than that, where is this placeâŠ? The trees growing hereâŠIâve never seen those types beforeâŠâ
The people close to Rollodeen commented as they pleased. Apparently they havenât grasped grasp that theyâre currently in a different world.
And then Rollodeen lifted her upper body, trying to look up at the water goddess. She imposingly stood on her two hind paws.
âNn, nyaaïœ,â she meowed.
Lifting one of her front paws, she revealed her pad.
She repeatedly lifted and lowered her front paws as if asking, ăWant to receive my paw seal nya~?ă. To me it looked like nothing more than cute cat antics, butâŠmy partner was currently in her huge divine beast form. Thus, it obviously scared the people she had rescued.
But, I understood through my senses. This <Call of the Water Goddess> should be an ability thatâs influenced by battleâŠ
âââDo not fret, Divine Beast who received Sadeyula and Gaiaâs blessing. I am no more than an illusion.â
The goddess had apparently read Rollodeenâs feelings.
ăLet me answer your question. Just as you thought, <Call of the Water Goddess> is originally an ability that causes an illusion of me to clad a weapon. This time I have used it as a water call. And I projected my own illusion by using the water in the area and the majority of the mana activated by youă
I comprehended from Water Goddess Akreshysâs voice. I was looking up above my head. The wheat-colored sun shone through the transparent garment, beautifully illuminating her inner thighs. I had no bad intentions in looking. It was just that I was looking up to her from right below.
Iâm a guy, too. So I ended up staring at the deepest place between her pretty legs, her crotch. It had a color reminiscent of water. Its shape was rather small, and she wore extremely refined panties which were adorned with frills and highly artistic strings. Seeing how sheâs a water goddess, I guess you can call those godly panties.
Her clothes were similar to Helmeâs, but the coloring was slightly different.
ăHmm, an indecent stareâŠă
Oh shit!
I quickly shifted my eyes to Rollodeen.
âNn.â
Has Rollodeen realized?
She immediately unleashed a divine beast punch, cutting at air.
ăâŠForgive me, Water Goddess-sama. I am indebted to you. But, Helme hasâŠă
In the meantime, Helme was about to become a single cluster as if imitating a crystal while glowing. Her Yellow Water Ribbon crest had surfaced as well.
Does this mean itâs related to <Sage Art â Understanding of the Yellow Water Ribbon>?
ăDid she absorb a part of the demi-goddess?ă
ăIndeed. In order to protect meă
ăThe demi-goddess might have been weakened, but absorbing a goddess was unreasonable even for your brave kină
Me trusting in her defensive capabilities also played a role, but I guess it was my mistake.
ăâŠYes. Iâm going to be more careful from now on. Are you going to return Helme to her previous state?ă
ăBe more careful? Helme, who used to be my kin, is now your bloodkin. Itâs her duty to protect you. Or to be more precise, the Helme over there is evolving. Itâll take time, but I think she will return to normal eventuallyă
Eh? This is the process of her evolving?
ăHow long is it going to take?ă
ăIn mortal time, itâll require a millenniumă
âŠThousand years. Iâd hate to be separated from Helme for such a long time. Rollo is my partner, but Helme is also dear to me as a partner. For a goddess, such a long time might be no more than a blink of an eye, though.
ăIâd like her to recover quickly. Is that possible?ă
ăItâd be impossible for an ordinary person. But, it might be possible for youă
So it might be possible for me, huh?
ăPlease tell me the method by all meansă
ăVery well. First, soak Helme in the lake over there and expand your sage art across the vicinity while pouring your mana into her. Next, invoke ăWater Cureă after stimulating it with your mana. Then, if you can successfully remove the scum of the demi-goddess thatâs probably clinging to Helmeâs coreâŠHelme should recover. Lastly, at the moment when you have retrieved all of the scum, sheâs going to spit out the demi-goddessâs partâŠsupposedly. This would be the proof of it having succeeded. But, the extreme difficultyâŠă
ăââOkay, then Iâll get to it at onceă
It had a nuance of me not really wanting to hear the last part of what the goddess wanted to say, but I didnât care.
For starters, I touched the metallic cross next to my right eye, booting up the Kaleidoscope. The metallic device, which would pass on the energy into my eyeball, deployed. It possessed a surface similar to a highly-efficient, intelligent glass. The attachment near my temple transformed into a ć just as always.
Frames were added to my existing visual field, and the resolution was enhanced as well. I scanned the wriggling Helme cluster.
âââââââââââââââââ
ïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒHigh FormïŒïŒA00
Brain Waves: Immeasurable
Bod: Immeasurable
Gender: Immeasurable
Overall Physical Strength: Immeasurable
Elenium Integration: 99809ïŒïŒïŒ
Weapons: Immeasurable
âââââââââââââââââ
It was bugged. I scanned the cluster, but the dense mana was so heavily overlapping that it looked like a natural mosaic. I could barely understand that it was a wriggling being.
I deactivated the Kaleidoscope by touching the attachment once more.
Then I carried Helme to the lake. While soaking the Helme cluster with water from the lake at the shore, I poured mana into it.
At that moment, the cluster absorbed the water around it, instantly turning into a humanoid shape. The humanoid floated up while looking asleep.
I activated <Magic Hand guided by Thought> and placed the crooked mana hand beneath Helme. Helmeâs core, a bluish-black orb, was exposed at her chest. Itâs the same orb she showed me when we formed a contract.
At the same time, pearl-like water droplets kept trickling down along Helmeâs nude body before falling from the mana hand into the lake.
Small, blue butterflies squirmed on the bluish-black orb. This must be the scum the water goddess mentionedâŠ
I deployed my sage art. It allowed me to gain the sensation of being a part of the surroundings, as if having fused with nature, peculiar to a sage body. The mist of my sage art spread out. It slowly crept onward while creating wave patterns on the lakeâs surface.
Is it a herald of strong feelings? Though, the mana consumption that feels like itâs twisting my stomach is the same nonethelessâŠ
Different from the usual sage artâŠthe mist looked like a dense blanket of white flames.
After confirming my vicinity, I focused on Helme, strongly believing that Iâd heal her.
I clad my whole body in Magic Combat Style without ever having attempted to run my sage arts and Magic Hand guided by Thought at the same time. But, I wonât lose to the vague assimilation with nature.
So as to affirm my own self, I focused on the Magic Shoutaiyin Feijing in order to knead my mana, which was centered beneath my navel, once more. Iâll decide it through my inner strength.
On top of that, I silently cast ăWater Cureă, invoking it. A transparent water globe, which was bigger and shining brighter than usual, manifested in front of my eyes.
The water globe sank into Helmeâs body as if melting into it. And then I placed my mana-laden on a butterfly that was coiled around Helmeâs core. I carefully grabbed the sticky end of the butterfly and removed it by pulling it up from below.
White, burning hands appeared from within the white mist that had assimilated with me. The hands were covered by countless white flames, looking like they contained a burning, seething steel core within. The hands and my own hands performed a surgery on Helmeâs open heart, carefully removing all the stains polluting her core.
The blue butterflies moved their sticky wings. They had multiple legs on their bellies like centipedes.
The hands and I threw away these trash bugs of Golgonshura. The instant the butterflies came in contact with the white flames of the mist around me, they evaporated.
ââAlright, most of the cleaning is done.
It was quite a troublesome piece of work. Removing those clinging to the core with tentacles was a major pain.
â»Piiingâ» <White Flame Sage Hand> skill acquired â»
â»Piiingâ» Conditions for <White Flame Sage Hand User> met â» Sage Occupation Class has gone up â»
â»Piiingâ» Your Class has gone up from <Sage Art Apprentice> to <Sage Hand User of the White Flame> â»
<Sage Hand User of the White Flame>, huh? I reached the next rank after apprentice while being watched by the water goddess. But, it looks like my spear and sage arts wonât fuse yet.
I mean, my combat occupation hasnât evolved even after I killed Golgonshura. Well, seeing how <Spirit Spear Blood Chain Master> is an extremely rare combat occupation, it wonât go that easily, I suppose. Well, various things might influence it either way.
Combat occupations you canât acquire unless you get woodworking-based skills should also exist.
Suddenly, Helmeâs throat expanded abnormally. The instant her mouth turned into a huge, round hole,
âGuubuuhhââ!â
She vomited some kind of object alongside some water. It was an oval gem which lightly floated on the lake without sinking. Its surface had depressions. Countless trenches ran alongside its surface, forming the shapes of small butterflies.
Thereupon, the part of the butterflies, which hadnât evaporated after being thrown away, headed for that gem. They were moving as vigorously like starving piranhasâŠ
The butterfly successively bit into the gemâs depressions, and furthermore clung to its surface with their legs.
Eventually, the butterflies stopped moving after adopting the same color as the gem. Following that, the butterfly carvings on its surface revived as if the gem was filled with power. Its egg shape didnât change overly much compared to right after being spat out by Helme. It just lost some of its depressions on the surface, increasing the cleanness of the gem.
I grabbed the gem, pressed it and traced the remaining trenches with my fingers, but nothing happened. I didnât send any mana into it, since itâd probably trigger something.
This gem was certainly interesting, but first I had to handle the matter with Helme. She was sleeping while floating above the lake.
Her sleeping face is adorableâŠ
I stuffed the gem, which looked like itâd become a key, into my pocket.
ăThank you for alwaysă, I strongly thought while brushing Helmeâs hair to the sides. Supporting Helmeâs body, I carried her like a knight, before lowering her on the ground.
The grass at the shore was soft, making it a great bed. Helme was snoring lightly.
I wonder whether the surgery succeeded.

The skillfulness was excellent and decent.
By now night had already claimed the land. But it was bright because Rollodeen had created a blazing column at a place alongside the lakeshore. She was using her tentacles to catch fish, prawns, wild mice, and beaver-like monsters, handing her catches to the people she rescued.
But, none of them seemed willing to eat any of it.
ăâŠâŠHas Helme been saved with this?ă
ăIt seems so. But, you are aware that Iâm not here like this just to talk about this with you, right?ă
Before that, I got to deal with Golgonshuraâs stoneâŠ
ăYes, please wait a moment. Umm, the existence of this oval gem means that Golgonshura is still alive, right? And Iâm also curious about Kizeleg, the content of that silver coffin, which had been in such a focus by Golgonshuraă
I shifted my eyes to the coffin which stood at the shore all by itself.
ăDonât worry. Itâs a fact that Golgonshura, one of the gods who had been fighting over the Barrier Master of the twelve Seas of Trees in the past, has perished. Itâd be a different story if this was a labyrinth with a Black Ring, but you have defeated the demi-goddess who had been sealed in Selaă
ăOoohă
ăBut, itâs too early to rejoice. A god remains a god, even when weakened. Golgonshura possesses a unique space-time-based ability that created her domain in the Sea of Trees and brought forth the Hill of the Light Cross. Gods are beings who stand at the top of many different levels of beingsă
ăâŠ..Okayă
ăEven if it is true that her divinity has dropped after being destroyed on Sela, itâs very likely that the source of her spirit has survived somewhere. Her source has either been captured by the bottomless swamp of the netherworld, or it has fallen to the bottom of the Ten-Layered Hell, the deepest part of Spirit World Sebdola, orâŠmaybe the Prison Dimension Godolon. I heard those are the place where the shells of gods accumulateâŠă
If itâs the Ten-Layered Hell, Iâve heard of it. So itâs been such a place, huh?
ăStill, I might be repeating myself, but Golgonshura has perished on Sela. Just a few of her kin are probably remaining besides this egg stone that contains a part of her divinityă
ăIs it possible for her to revive with this stone as origin?ă
ăYes, it isă
ăIt seemed like she desired that Kizeleg or whateverâŠă
ăThat will only help if both are released. Are you going to free them? I wouldnât do ită
Thereupon, ăAahhnn, Your Excellencyyyă
ăâŠSheâs watching a lewd dream. Donât tell me, Varmina got to her?ă
My spine shuddered.
ăâŠHaha, Helme isnât in touch with her. Rather, sheâs been blocking Varmina off for me. I have mark from Varmina on my neck, after allă
Iâve also got a connection with the boobs of magic poison, err, Goddess of Magic Poison MiseaâŠ
ăâŠShould I praise you for your courage to show that off in front of me? Youâre a filthy man with a stigmaă
ăSorryă
Oh shit, her voice sounds like sheâs going to unleash a blizzard at me any moment now. I thought itâd get exposed sooner or later anyway, so I mentioned it. But, was that a bad idea?
ăâŠOh well, itâs something Iâve already been aware of. Itâs become a cornerstone of your chaotic nature, so it canât be helpedă
Oh my, I thought sheâd get pissed off a lot more, but it looks like I was wrong. Water Goddess-samaâs words were kindâŠfull of broadminded love. I couldnât see her face from here, but I instinctively focused on showing a smile.
I felt like the lakeâs water level had dropped, but without paying any heed to that, I watched Helmeâs condition.
ăSo, loving Water Goddess-sama, what is your business with meâŠ?ă
ăâŠItâs about the flash of darkness released by your Destruction Spear Gladopalus. That flash, which killed a goddess of Sela, reached those possessing power across many places like the divine domain or the Spirit World. It should have especially strongly drawn the attention of those gods who have a relationship with you. Because of that, Iâm feeling vexedă
So there was a meaning to it after all, eh? The water goddess appears to hate GladopalusâŠ
ăBut, since thatâs currently my strongest attack against individualsâŠă
ăSeems so. And thatâs exactly why! Find the Water God Spear Aquashed, which my younger brother Sea God Sepiton created together with me and Fire God Enphrit. Then youâll be able to toss away that Destruction Spear, the beloved weapon of some Spirit World Knight or some other unknown guy, and use my water god spear insteadă
Discarding the Magic Destruction Spear, huh? But, itâs a summonâŠ
ăâŠWater God Spear Aquashed, something like that isâŠă
ăAlthough Iâve told you all that, I canât personally grant it to you like the <Instant Wand of Water>. Forgive meâŠă
It makes me feel obliged to have a goddess apologize to me.
ăâŠWhy is that water god spear no longer in your possession?ă
ăI lost it in a bet against the fire and sea godsă
ăWhat kind of bet was it?ă
ăIt concerned the prospering of a certain ocean race. Having lost that bet, I stabbed Aquashed into the bottom of the sea where Sepiton dwells. I remember that my little brother rejoiced very much as he became able to grow special offerings thanks to ită
A spear that brings about blessings, huh? I think itâd be bad to pull that out then.
ăâŠI wonât pull out a spear which seems to be so valuableă
ăFor you to turn down my request! If you can form a contract with Aquashed, itâll show its presence to you as divine spear comparable, no, excelling that destruction speară
ăWhat about your important match with the fire and sea gods? If I meddle with a promise between gods and annul it, wonât it anger the fire and sea gods?ă
ăCertainly, it might upset them. But that will be no more than an excuse to win you over to the divine domainâs side. They should accept it as long as they hear your reason for doing ită
I seeâŠ
In short, sheâs telling me to not become hostile towards the divine domain.
ăWater Goddess-sama, Iâm grateful to you. I have the conceit of possessing an average level of piety, too. But, Iâll turn down your AquashedâŠIâm me and as such I donât intend to follow any path thatâs been laid out for me. I might end up doing it unconsciously thoughă
ăâŠYouâre such a damn stubborn chaos bringer! But, thatâs what I love about you. Itâs fine for you to simply keep the matter of Aquashed stowed away in a corner of your mind. Keep using <Call of the Water Goddess> from now on, alright?ă
ăOkayă
ăI shall take my leave thenă
ăThatâs fastă
ăAlthough youâve been blessed with a vast amount of mana, this extreme mana consumption should be hard on you, I suspect⊠Lastly, it applies to those from the Spirit World without saying, but you should also be careful of the
ăGraveyard of Ancient Godsă
ââă
At that moment, the mysterious weight vanished from my shoulder. The absorption of my mana ceased as well. Still, she didnât show any of Helmeâs butt lover poses to me. Well, considering her summoning locations, itâd have been kinda difficult, so it was inevitable. I shall offer a prayer to Water Goddess-samaâs panties which have vividly burned themselves into my memory. It might have been a divine miracle.
ââŠYour Excellency, IâmâŠâ
âââOh, how wonderful. You woke up, huh?â
âYesâââ
Helme leaped into my embrace as soon as she got up.
âI was surprised back then.â
ââŠI failed at taking in the goddessâ part, and intended to bid farewell from you at the end, Your Excellencyâââ
âNever say anything like that again.â
âAuuh, please donât get angry with me,â Helme lowered her eyes while in my arms.
âYou made me worried. So, can you promise it?â
âYes, I shall promise you. U-Umm, Your Excellency, was it you who saved me?â Helme asked while cladding herself in her usual clothes and magic garment.
Itâs probably no coincidence that I feel like her outlines have become more accentuated due to the graduation of the colors of her long hair. âŠSheâs extremely beautiful.
And after shifting her eyes from her slender hand to her own voluptuous chest, she directed them at me.
ââŠIndeed. While receiving instructions from Water Goddess-sama, I carried out an operation while using a new sage art skill. I removed Golgonshuraâs scum, which had made you suffer, from within you.â
ââŠAs I thought! Your Excellencyâs power saved me! Iâm so happyâŠâ
âAccording to the goddess, youâd have returned to normal if you had remained in that cluster state of yours for a thousand years, butâŠas might be expected, I would have been sad to miss out on your stories about your ambitions and your poses for such a long time. Losing my training partner would be a bummer, too. Due to that I asked myself what worth a world without you would have. Because of thatâââ
âââYour Excellency.â
While shedding tears with her eyes trembling, Helme placed her index finger on my lips, telling me to not speak any further.
She slowly lowered her finger, and closed her long, wet eyelashes. Immediately following, she turned her small lips in my direction.
ââJust as she wished, I gently pressed my lips on hers. After starting off slowly, I gave her a deep kiss so as to caress her lovely lips. And at the end, I gave her a bit of my mana as a little gift.
âââAuuhn.â
I carried Helme in my arms after her legs gave way. Helme put her arms around my neck, as if telling me that she couldnât hold back any longer, and pressed her lips against mine. Of course, a long, long, deep kiss followed. It was such an intense kiss that I worried I might warp Helmeâs lips.
A faint, flowery aroma drifted into my nose from her. While experiencing a little spell of happiness, I headed to Rollodeenâs location. Rollodeen apparently took Helme and me into consideration, blocking us from sight by swinging her tail and tentacles.
Thereupon, I heard a splashing sound from behind me. Once I put down Helme and turned aroundâŠI found the semi-transparent warrior, now covered in weeds, standing over there.
Apparently he slowly made his way out of the lakeâs deepest part⊠A thin light escaped through his visor and his gray hair looked pretty stylish.
âYour Excellency, thatâsâŠâ
âYeah, he fought off Golgonshura with just that cross-shaped spear of his.â
A nice aroma, different from the one before, rose from Helme. It looks like sheâs activated <Lapis Lazuli Flower>. I placed my hand on the hilt of Murasame that was affixed to my waist.
Should I occasionally use Murasame so as to capitalize on my new combat occupation? A sage art sword style interwoven with countless, blazing, white hands. The real Murasame might be just one blade, but it should be difficult to distinguish the real and the fake ones on a first encounter.
Itâd also be possible to directly attack with the white flame hands. That would be perfect for fighting while checking the general situation.
While pondering about all thatâŠI stared at the warrior. He was mostly covered in armor, but he also wore a torn half-hakama and black travel sandals. He was still semi-transparent as before, but probably because of the moonlight, I could see his armored upper body quite well. And him trudging through the dark shadows created by the moonlight while holding his spear in one hand was engendered by quite an impact.
The walking style that maintained a peculiar rhythmâŠtriggered a dangerous atmosphere. Going by his aura, he reminded me of the earlobe-weirdo we fought at the Dignified Heaven Shrine. His earlobes, however, werenât stretched long, but the warrior instantly directed his eyes at me.
His two eyes hidden behind the visor were gleaming.
But then, he returned his bloodthirsty look to the place where the black-haired girl from before was resting. I guess he guessed the place where I hid them in an instant.
In other words, a powerful connection existed between that warrior and the girl who was employing him as his master. The warrior passed Helme and me while still having weeds coiled around his body. Without paying any attention to the people Rollodeen had rescued, he nonchalantly walked over to the girlâs place while showing us his back.
âA huge warrior-sama! That must be a guardian of the Twelve Families.â
âBut, I wonder whether heâs going to protect us. According to rumors, heâs a combat tool, you know?â
ââŠJaponâs secret weaponâŠâ
At that point, I saw Eva flying over from the other side of the lake. As might be expected, even Eva had her fair share of troubles with carrying a huge chunk of steel. She had wrapped her violet mana, mixed with streaks of scarlet, around the business jet that lost a wing and the rear part.
I guess itâs proof of her <Mind Force> having evolved extremely.
She guided the jet to a slightly open patch of land between lake and knocked-down forest. My eyes met with hers.
ââI started to run over, thinking I should help her, but she smiled at me after lightly shaking her head. Then her <Mind Force> cut off midway, probably because she got too elated. Because of the violet manaâs weakening, the jet crashed violently.
The vibration caused waves to travel across the lake, but the fallen aircraft didnât break apart. All door parts of the jet shifted sideways. Gangways extended from beneath the doors, and even ladders extended downwards.
Several people, whose dresses were a mess, descended on the shore from there.
Without showing any interest for the people whom she had saved, Eva immediately flew over to me in her wheelchair.
âââShuuya, there was a very dazzling, mysterious flash earlier. Showdown with the demi-goddess?â
Dazzling, huh? It didnât seem like it to me thoughâŠ
âYep. It was a slash by Gladopalus as it butchered Golgonshura. You could call it a light of darkness caused by Golgonshuraâs defeat, I suppose? Though Iâm not quite sure myself. Anyway, after the battle ended, Helme collapsed. So I gave her medical treatment until a little while ago. And now things stand as you can see yourself.â
âYes. Iâm in top shape! I was saved thanks to His Excellency. Eva, you did your best as well, didnât you?â
âNn, the healing was water magic? In any case, both of us did our best. We defeated Golgonshura and saved many people!â Eva commented after checking Helmeâs state.
With a smile, she extended a tonfa from one arm, hoisting it up.
âAye. Eva, well done. Was that aircraft heavy?â
âNn, a bit, but I was fine.â
âMysty should be interested in a metallic aircraft, donât you think? Eva, do you think it could be melted down and put to good use?â
âNo. Itâs different from the iron box vehicle you gave us earlier â car was it called? â that had magic metals sticking to it. This one here has a lot of pure iron, so Mysty might not be overly interested in it. Though I havenât checked the interior yet, so I canât tell for sure,â explained Eva and put her tonfa away, changing her wheelchair into metallic legs.
And then she scanned the area.
âNn, Rollo-chan. Oh, something weird Iâve never seen before.â After smiling at Rollodeen, Eva gazed at the semi-transparent warrior.
She approached him, full of curiosity. We followed her.
âEva, that guy fought Golgonshura on even terms. Be careful.â
âNn.â
It looked cool how the warrior protected the girl with a daunting pose. And he had wielded his spear at a speed close to instantaneous, fending off the attacks of Golgonshura who had repelled my <Chain>.
âYour Excellency, Iâll come into your left eye.â
âSure.â
Without a momentâs delay, Helme went back into my eye.
âNn, warrior no reaction. Those girls still asleep. The girl with the round glasses is different from Mysty.â
âThey seem to be deeply asleep.â
Eva didnât attempt to touch the warrior. She probably assumed that he might attack her all of a sudden.
âEva, fall back. For the time being, Iâll approach him and check things.â
âNn, got it. Iâll go to the place where the other people gathered. Iâll also inform Rebecca and the others. I donât think Iâll understand the peopleâs words, thoughâŠâ
âAye. Well, the intention counts at the beginning.â
âNn.â
Eva nodded and nimbly evaded a root with her metallic legs.
âAnyway, I guess Iâll try to get closer. Earlier he ignored us, butâŠâ
The instant I approached the black-haired girls while saying so, the semi-transparent warrior moved, pointing his spear at me.
âI saved those girls. Canât you understand what that means?â I asked him, but the warrior didnât cancel his combat stance.
The arm holding the spear didnât budge, keeping the spearhead pointed at me. A sharp glint dwelt in his two eyes. I could immediately tell that heâd cut down anyone getting close, with no questions asked.
ââŠâ
Did this warrior have an ermine as an ancestor or something? The illusion of a mystical pipe fox was visible in his eyesâŠ
âWell, I wonât pick any pointless fightsâŠâ
I think the warrior isnât completely standalone, though. I canât see any emotions in himâŠ
I guess Iâll go back for the time being.
At that moment, âNgh, t-this isâââ
The black-haired chick woke up. She immediately turned her head around, trying to get a read on her situation. The bespectacled girl was still asleep.
Apparently having grasped the situation, the black-haired girl sat up, cladding her whole body in mana. Her mana especially accumulated at the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet had a drawing of a mystical pipe fox.
Thatâs probably the reason for the illusion in the warriorâs eyes.
âGood work, Matabe. You can lower your alertness to the second level for the time being.â
ââââ
His name is Matabe. How nice. Totally sounds like the name of a Warring States Commander.
Immediately after that Matabe received his order from the uniformed girl, he released mana through the gaps in his armor as if emitting gas. He seems to be linked with the girlâs abilities. Maybe as part of her and his abilities, the warrior transformed his appearance.
