Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

116 Analyze The Ex-Powerful, Witch'S Book

If I were to conclude in the end, Soma would never have been a witch.

It seems that when you become a witch, your hair turns to white, but Soma's remains black as usual.

Nevertheless, I am not particularly discouraged or anything else because it was half as expected.

But as for Soma, it was, apparently, different for Felicia.

Understanding that I had failed, I was pulling out something like a book and starting to read about it in a way that shocked me more than Soma why.

"Uh, Felicia? If you're feeling responsible for something you've failed, it's not necessary, is it? More than half as expected."

"... No, that's not how it works either. I did talk about a low success rate...... think about it, and that's also what I'm talking about if I'm right with that drug. If I'm in the wrong shape, it's natural to fail, and I can't deny that possibility any more than I was relying solely on my memory to make it. It is also natural to see if it would have fit with any... sorry. You should have checked before Soma tried it in the first place."

"Hmm... well, maybe that's true..."

But it was Soma who accepted that it was a memory.

If that was wrong, then it should be Soma herself, in terms of who is responsible.

Well, if I should have checked or not, of course I should have checked...

"- Yeah?"

"What's wrong? You look strange though."

"No... I thought, if you look at that, you'll know exactly how to formulate that drug, right?

"Well, it should be."

"It's supposed to be quite ambiguous... haven't you read it?

"Not that I've never read it... No, I couldn't understand it, so is it the same thing"

"Yeah? Didn't you understand? Is the method of formulation

"Technically, I couldn't read it in the first place, you should say. Because it's literally made in a language I don't understand."

I mean, this is what they say.

Felicia pulled it out. It is also a book to be called a collection of wisdom that has been taken over from the witches until now, written about the spells used by witches, the way medicines are formulated, or the knowledge necessary for witches.

They call it an easy to understand witch book or something, but even if it's written for anyone to read, it could be abused by someone who read it.

For this reason, the book of witches is written in a special language that does not apply to any of the existing languages.

It's something that only witches can decipher.

"... can only be decrypted by a witch, but not by Felicia?

"To be precise, it's just a language that can only tell witches how to read along with a book, right? And before I could teach it... no, because my predecessors are gone, I don't know how to read it."

"Uh, that's..."

"Care is not required. Because it was more than a few decades ago. I don't even remember much about that time."

That only sounded strong no matter what you think, but it wouldn't be the kind of thing you dare mention.

Rather, the problem is that I haven't been able to read the book.

"It doesn't matter what you think, does it?

"Well, if you're in trouble or not, you're in terrible trouble, to be honest. I'm not reading this book, I'm deciphering it."

"Hmm... so I wasn't sure it was perfect, so I didn't confirm it."

"That's the thing...... sorry"

There was no reason for me to apologize, but as Felicia, I'm sure she didn't mean it.

As a witch, I couldn't read what I was supposed to read, and because of that, I took pills that I didn't know were right.

... No, I mean Felicia, so maybe I was confident as a person, but that confidence was shaken because of my failure?

Though it's about a week, I know the extent of it if we stay together.

"By the way, I don't know, so I've left it there before, so that's for sure, right?

"Right. As I said earlier, we're analyzing what's written on the assumption that we don't know."

"... hmm? Do you know exactly what's written there?

"No, you almost don't know. Likewise, something like that. There are a few things that I was taught that are mandatory, starting with the medicine, so I'm looking at where it says it first, and so on."

"... isn't that nearly impossible?

"Well, only time is wasted. Still, around not knowing one thing over the decades, so far I've only really wasted it. Perhaps I am an idiot. I've spent a lot of time doing this because I don't have anything to do."

I couldn't think of a word for Soma as to what to say about that at all.

It's just that, at least, it's true I didn't think it was for nothing.

I don't even think you're stupid.

Instead...... you can say I feel empathy.

Though there was a real thing there, the way he was reaching for something he couldn't reach was something he remembered very much.

Whether you think that's for nothing or stupid.

Still, he doesn't give up.

Is it because I thought so?

"Hmm... can I see that book for a try?

Well, that's what I was asking, even though I didn't think it would be possible.

But.

"Yes, that's fine."

"... is that okay?

"Well, even though it failed, did Mr. Soma take that pill? You'll have no problem telling me you're a witch for about half the time."

"Hmm..."

Honestly, that was an unexpected response, but it's also a strange story to say no if you want to show it to me.

Besides, I was simply interested.

Wisdom accumulated by historical witches.

There. Or, I guess, I don't have a choice.

But if you can't read it fundamentally, you can't even talk about it.

"Well, go ahead."

"Hmmm... so let me read it"

That's how they gave it to me, and Soma somehow looked at it from the cover.

As a matter of course, I don't know its good or bad, but it is a heavy workmanship, I know about it.

It feels like I've seen it somewhere... well, it's my fault.

There's no way I've ever seen a book like the one being passed on to a witch.

And I noticed that on the flip, but apparently what I was looking at was the back.

Because there was inscribed therein what I thought was the name of this book.

I see. I think this was written in a unique language, but naturally, I can read it... Read it...

"............... The Witch's Book?

"Right...... I don't know how long it's been called that, but I think that's how likely that letter is to read. The same thing comes out of it a few times. But I still can't decipher it at all..."

"Oh, um... Hmm..."

- "The Witch's Book".

It did say that there.

Yes... In other words, Soma was able to read the letter.

I can read it.

With a strange sense of guilt about that...... but at the same time something of concern occurs.

It's obvious at the point that I can read soma, but I don't care what this looks like.

"... Felicia, I need to ask you something."

"Yes, what is it?

"You know what ancient sacred letters are?

"I know those things exist, but you've never seen them. Speaking of which, was that most of the characters you couldn't decipher? Maybe they have something in common or something... well, I don't think so."

That said Felicia was smiling bitterly, but we're not talking about where we have something in common.

That's because no matter where you look from, it only looked like that ancient sacred letter.

But the letters written here should have been something no other than a witch could have known to prevent a useless leak.

Technically, it seems like something no other than a witch can tell you.

"... No, maybe that's what this is about?

"Mr. Soma......?

I don't respond to Felicia tilting her neck wonderfully, and I nod.

If what I came up with was right, it would have been all sorts of convincing.

I've been wondering about Soma for a long time.

That is why the ancient sacred letters are now almost unreadable.

Even though civilization was interrupted, it didn't make sense that even some of the poles would be unreadable.

But it would also be satisfactory if it were to be communicated only to some as something of a cryptography from the beginning.

Almost impossible to read, like Felicia, is also possible to explain the current situation if it could not be communicated due to some circumstance that should be communicated.

What's more, by its very nature, witches start to distance themselves from the others.

None of us will have the opportunity to see the ancient sacred letters that were originally used only in part.

That can be said the other way around.

It is as if those who have seen and can read the ancient sacred letters have the Book of Witches in their hands.

That way, where we were using the same language, we wouldn't be aware of each other... or maybe they wouldn't mind being noticed.

Because anything that can be read will notice its intent.

Well, given the status quo, I think we're already broke about the area... but for now, I don't care about the area.

There's only one thing I need to think about right now.

That is - tell them that Soma can read this or not.

If you tell him, Felicia will know what's in this.

But at the same time, what Felicia's been doing...

"Hmm...... how to make elixir? This has been written from the beginning again..."

"... Huh? Mr. Soma, what..."

"I wonder if the next page contains a discussion about witch-handling spells. There is no uniformity, especially in the order in which it is written, and I really wrote down what I found out one after the other. Obviously there is a mix of different handwriting, and it does seem to be a fact that the witches of history have added... Hmm. It should be said as expected, it is quite interesting…"

"Um... Huh? ……… Could……… be able to read, is it? What's in

Unlike what was written in the Book of Magic, what is written here is definitely worth it.

Then it should even be called sin to let this be buried... and I'm sure Felicia would think the same.

Because he believed so, when he stared into Felicia's trembling eyes, Soma returned a clear nod to the word.
