The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

133 Episode 29: And Reflections

"Her Royal Highness Sister Wang... what is this...?

"Success, or...?

Charne is still wrapped in thunder with bees and sounds. He looks anxiously at this one as he looks down at his own hand. Next to me Tomas is observing Charne with a serious look.

"Yeah, I think it's a success.... I knew physical strengthening would be a prerequisite."

"What do you mean?

"Before that explanation, Charne first. We have to do something about that thunder."

"Yes!... well, what should I do?

"Wouldn't it disappear if I unlocked my physical enhancement?

I guess Charne is trying to unlock the physical enhancement as I'm told. However, there is no sign that thunder will disappear even if an eyebrow leans between Charne's eyebrows.

"... well, what shall we do, Sister Wang? I can't lift my physical strength... and, uh, some magic..."

"Magic? What's wrong with magic?

"It's kind of like I've been using magic for a long time, and I'm getting a little tired..."

I'm starting to see more and more fatigue in Charne's face. Could it be that you're wearing out more and more of Charne's magic in your current state?

Charne doesn't seem to know how to disarm her, and she's staring at me like she knows what to do.

In my case, physical strengthening would have stopped if I had stopped supplying my magic. That's what I thought, and I tried to get him to disarm the physical enhancement, but Charne can't seem to disarm the physical enhancement himself. Besides, it keeps consuming magic.

"... Charne, can you use magic besides physical strengthening in that state? If you aim for the magic loss, it might stop."

"Well, that's... Something's wrong with the feeling of magic, and like always, it's hard to control..."

"Okay. Sharne, take this."

Magic can't be activated properly either.... This may be a bit unsavory,

I pulled the celestial out of my sheath and let Charne hold it. Charne was suddenly handed a celestial to round her eyes.

"Oh, that!? Sister Wang, why do you have a celestial!?"

"Because if I were Mana Blade, I might break it. Charne, try to create a magic blade with magic as it is in the celestial. Imagine spitting it all out."

"Yes, sir"

Celestial held in Sharne's hand creates a magic blade to respond to Sharne's will. A yellow-green magic blade occurred, not the empty blade I was used to seeing. The colour of his body is like the demonic stone of Fenrill.

And I would like to pay even more attention to the fact that the body is just as thunderous as Charne. Make a prediction that Charne's magic will be reflected in the magic blade as it is.

"What do you say? You think you can keep it down?

"Yes. I made it easier when I tried to transfer it all to Celestial..."

Fenrir's aura, which Charne had wrapped around, disappeared to the point where the lightning-wrapped blade of Celestial increased its presence. Is it true that Charne has also gotten easier, or is she feeling a little weak?

Now, the next problem is the magic blade of thunder that has formed.

"Charne, try releasing the magic blade towards the sky. That should fit in."

"Towards the sky...... like this, is it?

Charne turned to the sky as I was told, letting the magic blade go free.

The next moment, the thunder shook my eardrum. Charne's unleashed magic blade ascended to heaven as if thunder were returning to the sky, paying off the clouds.

It seems that the shock recoil that emitted so much noise that it shook its tympanic membrane has come to Charne. She's got her ass cake on her like she was bounced and let go of the celestial.

"Charne, it's okay!?"

"Huh... it's okay, I just hurt my wrist a little..."

"Wrist? You can't move it, just rest first. Has magic gone back to normal?

"Ah, yes. I don't feel weird anymore."

Hearing Sharne's response, I accidentally leaked a breath of relief.

I'm really glad nothing happened. At the same time, if this left Charne with major injuries and sequelae, such an imagination ran something cold on my spine.

"... I'm sorry I let you get hurt, Charne. You made me feel scared, didn't you? I was in such a hurry."

"Sister Wang is not apologizing! Look, because I'm fine!

When I apologize, Charne laughs and tells her not to worry while she's awkward. I feel like I'm saved by that Charne smile.

I told Sharne, thank you, as I stroked Sharne's head.

"I came back wondering what it was, was it a demon stone activation experiment"

"Sorry to surprise you, Navre, Gakkun."

"No, no. I'm glad nothing happened."

Navre and Gakkun rushed in when they heard the sound of thunder as they were making allowance for Charne's injury since then. Charne took care of herself, fixed her wrist, and kept it to herself so she wouldn't move.

The place for discussion has moved to the salon, where Priscilla, who was going to deliver the report to Uncle Drags, is brewing tea.

And in front of us is a box with Fenrill's demon stone sealed again. That's the outfit we're all talking about as we surround ourselves.

"Dear Anis, can you explain? How did you manage to activate the Demon Stone? The tip said physical enhancement..."

"It's still early to conclude that physical enhancement is not included in magic in the new definition, but you explained it to the Navres before, right?" Physical strengthening is working with spirits living in the soul to improve their physical abilities. "

"Oh, that's it, isn't it? Talk about the different quality and way enhancements are done for each attribute"

Pong, and Gakun gavels in as he puts his fist over his palm. I keep talking, nodding at Gakun.

"Yes. Magic is zero out of the soul, and its magic is influenced by the Spirit that dwells in the soul. That's good, isn't it?

"Yes. So, what does it have to do with physical strengthening and demon stones?

"I want you to remember, Demon Stone is a subspecies of Spirit Stone that has been transformed in the first place, spiritual stone but has been transformed into something else. But even the Demon Stone is based on the Spirit, and the same Spirit as the Spirit from which it came will be gathered, right?

"... So the only reason the Demon Stone didn't start before was because it was a magic that didn't resonate?

"I think that's the thing. Physical strengthening, by its very nature, activates the Spirit that dwells in you. I think demonic stones that prey on spirits are activated by feeding on something more limited: the magic of spirits, rather than simple magic."

Magic is influenced by inner spirits. But if you don't bother to do something that evokes the Spirit, I think the magic of the natural state is very thin to say even the color of the Spirit.

That's why the Demon Stone isn't simply feeding on magic, it's a hypothesis that it feeds on the magic of the Spirit. That's why it takes the magic of an activated Spirit to activate the Demon Stone.

"... I understand the hypothesis of how the demon stone was activated. Is that why such a membrane of thunder like Fenrill floated in Charne? Is that the power of the Demon Stone?

"Yeah, but I also feel like I'm not. Perhaps by aligning the conditions so far, we can finally stand at the same starting point as the Demon Stone Holder.

"Starting point?

"Uh... should I say it's a natural state for a demon stone holder? Physical strengthening is activated by activating the Spirit within you. The Demon Stone starts using its activated magic as food. But it's just" activated. "I think it's just a vegan state for Fenrill, who had this demonic stone, that Charne wrapped his thunder around."

"In fact, it's hard to grasp anything because I haven't seen it...... Tomas. What the hell was Charne like?

Ask Tomas with a surprised look on Navre's face at my explanation.

"It's like wrapping a Fenrill aura around your whole body...... that's what you looked like. That aura is charged, and if you try to touch it, it's like playing..."

"That's just like Master Anis, isn't it?

"To? Me?

"When Ennis is using physical enhancement, he has a similar aura. Shaped like a dragon."

Raising his index fingers on both hands, Gakun touches the corner with it against his forehead. Oh, maybe if you say so...? I felt the aura wrapped around me somehow, but I didn't know what it looked like from around me because I didn't see it in the mirror.

"I think it fits my hypothesis after all. The fact that Charne's physical enhancement causes the same phenomenon as my engraving marks if he uses demonic stones is similar to that."

"Isn't that amazing!

"... I don't know if I can say enough"

I drink tea in my hand to moisten my dry throat. Then Priscilla, who was seated after preparing the tea, leaned her neck wonderfully.

"Any concerns?

"Hmm... Charne. You said the magic was getting weird when you were haunting the power of Fenrill's demon stones, right?

"Ah, yes. I can't really use magic..."

"Really?

"Yes. At first, I aimed to cut the magic, but my usual senses made the magic unusable..."

Charne is also leaning her neck strangely. I put my tea down and then turned my gaze to Priscilla.

"Priscilla, I'm sorry, but bring me something to write on paper"

"Yes."

Priscilla answers my instructions quickly. Leave it for a moment and then draw the diagram that is sagging to your head on the paper that Priscilla brought to you.

First, I draw Charne's face, which I wrote like a deformation, and a deformation, which also looks like a fenril. Lift it high to make it look like everyone else.

"I can't say for sure with this yet, but I'm going to keep a diagram of the relationship between Charne's magic and the Demon Stone. First of all, I'll give you 10% of Charne's magic."

"Yes."

"To strengthen your body, you need 10% more magic to activate the Spirit. Now we have 90% of Charne's remaining magic."

"You're down"

"And I will use the magic of physical strengthening to activate the Demon Stone. But you can't stop strengthening your body, so you'll consume another 10% more"

Write ten circles so that they appear ten percent in the diagram and erase them with an X mark on them. And just for the number of turns off, add a circle next to Fenrill.

"Now Charne's residual magic is 80%. But now Fenrir's demon stone has been activated. The effect becomes more powerful in response to the magic of physical strengthening. However, to maintain this physical enhancement, Charne is taken with even more magic. Shall we take this view as 20%?"

"Twenty percent more..."

"Within ten percent and twenty percent of the magic required for normal physical strengthening to be activated and sustained. Another 10% for startup using Demon Stone and another 10% for maintenance. Simple consumption calculations will double it."

"Is there a downside to a powerful minute? Well, then it's no different than using magic, is it?

I shake my head from left to right in what can be described as Gakun's optimistic opinion. Even I wouldn't have trouble explaining it if it were such a simple story.

"Plus, I have a problem. The magic that has changed with this demonic stone is the magic of Charne, but not the magic of Charne himself."

"... you mean the magic that has been transformed by demon stones. Even if it's only under Charne's control, it's not Charne's own magic."

"Yes, that's why we can only consume magic in ways other than using demonic stones. Take Charne's magic as A and Fenrill's magic stone as B. Even if the magic of A can be changed to the magic of B, the magic of B cannot be restored as the magic of A. In other words, the magic that Charne used to activate physical enhancement has no use other than to use it as Fenrill's magic."

"... is that such a serious problem, it?

Gakun says strangely as he arms. On the other hand, it is Navre who has a sinister face.

"... this is definitely troublesome"

"Is that it?

"Gark focuses on physical strengthening, because magic is an accompaniment. But for a knight who also uses magic as much as I do, the magic he converted with this demonic stone is troublesome. Although physical enhancement consumes magic to activate it, the magic it maintains can be turned to another magic if it is disarmed?

"Whoa. Well, yeah.... Oh well! You're wasting your magic because you can't do that!

"I have a further problem. Moreover, this magic remains in the body. There are two kinds of magic powers in the body while maintaining physical strengthening with the effect of Demon Stone. I mean, because of the overlap of magic, the ability to work on spirits is dull. If the premise is that the Demon Stone takes in the magic of the Spirit... right? Her Highness Sister Wang."

"Yeah. That's what I think is a serious problem, too."

"Is that what that strange feeling of magic was about..."

Charne can no longer use magic successfully because the Demon Stone takes the magic to maintain Fenrill's physical strength at will. And the magic becomes Fenrill's magic, not Charne's.

Changed magic is not the magic of Charne, so the operation itself can be done. But I can't bring back any more magic that's spoiled. The magic that should resonate with the Spirit in the outside world and change the shape of the Spirit becomes unusable.

(... now that I think about it, is that what Raini said?)

Raini also said he didn't like magic at first. At the time, it would be because he kept the demon stone in his body, albeit un-awakened. It was hard to resonate with the Spirit because the presence of demonic stones was generating noise.

Ever since I woke up as a vampire, I had found a way to control it in person. You want me to listen to what you say, not resonate? In other words, instead of changing the Spirit by resonating with it, it brings out the desired phenomenon by dominating the Spirit.

So, in fact, the range of magic that Raini can use is wide. If you can build a muscle path successfully, you can freely make all sorts of magic. It's just all the trivial magic that helps me with my daily routine because it's an itchy Raini there.

Later, Raini also has the disadvantage of being attacked by a bloodsucking impulse if he loses too much magic. Raini uses magic with the realization that she can use convenient tricks, so I haven't seen many opportunities to use flashy magic.

"... well, that one. Anyway, I'm glad you found out how to activate the Demon Stone, huh?

"... oh, somehow you know what Master Anis is trying to say"

"That's an odd encounter, Tomas. I think if I were Tomas, my perceptions would match."

"Well, why don't we align our voices?

We gaze at each other with a subtle face. And we nodded one at each other and then said it forcefully.

"" It's a defect, this!! "
