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

135 Episode 31: The Corruption Between Similar Things

I talked to Raini and Ilia even after I noticed the problem of the demon stone I had overlooked, but fundamentally the power of the demon stone is established by preying on the power of the Spirit, which seemed to converge on the conclusion that it might be difficult to spread in the Kingdom of Palletia.

It's dark under the lights, or if you ask me, it's obvious, and if you're messing with me, I'm in the way of flirting, so I was finally kicked out by Ilia. My treatment is terrible!

"Yufi! Ilia's terrible!

"... what the hell is going on, Anis"

And when Yufi, who was going up to the royal castle, came back, I cried to Yufi. I've had this incident with the boulder.

Yufi smiled bitterly when she told him what she had talked to Raini and the others from me.

"It's certainly a story that the Ministry of the Spirit frowned upon again."

"Ugh, that's not why I want to fight and sell..."

"Yes, sir. All right, all right."

Even I'm sweet on Uffi because Uffi's back! I mean, I'm pretty shocked and depressed by the truth. It's not a fatal failure, but an awesome sense of fatigue strikes me on one issue after another that emerges.

"Ufi......"

"What is it, Anis?"

"... I want to kiss you"

"... you're weak"

All right, all right, I'm gonna stroke your head, and then I'm gonna kiss you like Uffi pecks my lips. Yufi kisses me as I make a few pecking noises and I give myself up to Yufi to be sweet.

I get intoxicated by the feeling of fluffiness, which makes my head flutter with the feel of a kiss. Then Yufi stopped kissing me with a troubled face.

"... Ufi, why are you stopping?

"You're eating, aren't you?

"... Fine, I'm off anyway"

It was on the bed we were sitting on. After all, I'm just going to sleep on holiday, and if you want to eat, go ahead and stroke Yuffi's head with a bitter smile when he's obstinate.

"You're really depressed"

"... if it's a fatal failure, we'll have to figure something out already, won't we? But come on, this failure isn't. I've achieved a lot, because I know a lot of things, and it's hard to do on top of that... What I did made sense, but I'm tired of the darkness, or I'm not motivated..."

As he buried his face in Yuffi's chest and pressed it against his wrist, he entered the knee-pillow position so that Yuffi could fall asleep.

Yuffi's fingers stroke my head as she combs my hair. The feeling is pleasant and the eyelids come down naturally.

"But because of that, you know what to look for when building artificial demon stones."

"... yes, but..."

It was only because we found out about the problem of natural demon stones that we found out what to look for when processing artificial demon stones. That is certainly huge. More valuable information than anything else in future development.

"The problem with natural demon stones is that they feed on the magic of the Spirit. But artificial demon stones are only like processing spiritual stones in the form of magic and engraving magic. Problems with natural demon stones do not occur..."

The use of artificial demon stones that I envisioned was an image that would be activated and used by saving the magic that I wanted to preserve in spiritual stones and infusing it with magic. In other words, the traditional magic props and the operation itself remain the same.

However, if we go too far, we can think of the possibility that if we say artificial demon stones, we will all end up in a natural demon stone-like situation. It is very important to know the risks ahead.

"You might not have noticed it without experiments trying to use natural demon stones. Besides, I'm sure you won't prefer the use of natural demon stones if you think about the faithful side of it, but can we have a choice? Guess Gark wants it so badly, doesn't he? Weapon by Demon Stone."

"... yeah. Gakun doesn't have much control over magic."

I think Uffi is right. The choices are good, even if the demon stone is undesirable from the point of view of the Spirit Faith, it is definitely a power that is still worth using.

Rather, it can be called a trump card as a technique that does not pass to the Empire. Even if it leaked to the Empire, it is a defect that cannot be operated. I hesitate to use it in the kingdom, it's not like I can't operate it just because I repel it.

I know, I know it with my head. But the feeling keeps sinking in.

"Anise will never be shocked."

"... but"

"... why are you so shocked in the first place?

Asked by Uffi, I explore to see how I feel.

But I can't think about it. So what I thought would go straight out of my mouth.

"If the power of the Demon Stone could be used effectively... I thought Gakun and the others would be stronger."

"Did you want to make the most of the Demon Stone for the Guards?

'Cause I want to protect you.

Try to stick your forehead to Yuffi's stomach, and I'll circle myself. What comes out of my mouth is my irresistible wish.

"Me, if I popped out like I used to, everyone would be mad at me, and I know with my head I'm in a position to be protected anymore.... but I don't like it. I have the power, but I have to be protected. If I'm not allowed to protect you directly, I guess I can only help you by developing something."

Even if I reveal my insides, Uffi caresses my head without saying anything. I keep spitting out my thoughts as I narrow my eyes to the feel of Yuffi's hand.

"I, at the very least, don't want the people beside me to die... but what I can think of, it's gonna take a while for you to accept, right? That's why it's so bad. It's painful..."

You still care about the assassination attempt?

"I care. 'Cause it wasn't weird that someone was dead. I say we make sure it doesn't happen, but when we wake up, we wake up. No man, no demon, does not know when the danger of life will come. So I... -"

"- Damn, you're a real idiot. I thought so."

"Aww!?"

Suddenly, as much as I wanted, I fell off Yuffi's knees with a knife dropped on my forehead. Plus it falls out of bed and gets stuffy. Why did you get bumped all of a sudden!? It hurts so much that my forehead is about to crack!?

"It's a bad anise habit, it"

"Yes, it hurts...... ku, habit? What?"

"It's where you can't hear the voices around you if you think about it. Still, if you look at what you're still trying to stop, it's a manifestation of trying to improve.... but if you look sweet because you can appreciate what you're trying to do better, you'll be mistaken."

Yufi gets out of bed, makes sure she kneels down and looks down at me. When you get up loosely holding your forehead, your gaze is almost the same as that of Ufi on your knees.

"Surely there will be many in this country who cannot accept the nature of the Demon Stone. I'll definitely raise my voice to say it's unnecessary. If it's a technology that can be converted to artificial demon stones, you don't have to bother to continue to research natural demon stones, that kind of voice will be raised. - But that's not the only possibility, is it?

"... it is, but"

"Yes, but I don't trust you too much. Isn't that good, even if you still say you want to continue studying demon stones? You can claim that this research will benefit your country any day."

Yuffi reaches out to my cheek and strokes it so that it envelops me. Yufi's words seem to speak to me. I feel warm because I know that word is what I think it is.

"Even if the opposite voice is loud, there are people who do hear you. As a queen, it's only natural that I can't prioritize you, but personally, I support what you want to do. And you're going to shut your ears from that voice too?

"... it"

"At least Gark said he still wanted it, didn't he? I won't even go as far as recommending it either, but if you say it's a technology you'll need in the future, nod. Worth a thought."

"But..."

"But there's nothing. If you're going to disagree, you just have to disagree as much as you want. If Anis is the only one who agrees, even I will have to leave. But are you going to turn away from the possibilities that someone might want and plug them in with the assumption that they won't be accepted?

To Yufi's words, I accidentally pulled my lips together cuddly. The back of my eye has a fever, and I'm pushing my tears up. I shake my neck left and right without force to deny it.

"You know perfectly well that it's not what it used to be anymore. I think they're just gonna disagree now. There are people who want to respect your feelings and thoughts properly. So don't be afraid. Even Anis doesn't just want to push through his thoughts and opinions anymore, does he?

"... yeah"

"Then trust your magic." Even if you can't save everything, there's always someone you can't save. Your magic is for someone like that, isn't it?

To Yufi's words I close my eyes and nod small. Hold him as he jumps into Yuffi's chest.

Uffi doesn't complain about anything when he hugs you to jump in. Pompous and constant rhythm keep stroking my back. I push my face to delude the tears that are zero in its feel.

"... I don't think Yufi can do it because it spoils me right away and makes me happy. Me, I'm going to swoop, I'm going to swing, I'm going to disappear."

"Yep. So if you say or do something stupid, I'll be angry. It's not just sweet."

"... you're pissed off, me"

"Naturally. Your wishes, your life, everything is not your own anymore. So trust him, Anis. Times are changing. Still, I can't say I'll ever admit it, because I won't let you deny it without a head."

"Yeah......"

I left myself intact to Yufi and closed my eyes to sweetness. I want to be drowning in this warmth, as I wish.

Yufi gave me plenty of comfort and I managed to return the next day as well. The problem with demon stones is headaches. I also know it's not very acceptable. Still, it's worth studying. This research is a technology for the Kingdom of Palettia.

I can make an effort to convey it and find out if I can't do something about the nature of the Demon Stone. When I was putting my temper back in that way, a rare visitor came to the outhouse.

"Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, we have a visitor in sight"

"Huh? Customers?

"- Dear Anis! You must be here! Let me tell you something!

"Tilty!?"

As I chatted with Uffi and the others at the salon, the samurai reported a guest visit. Guess who? and leaning his neck, it was Tilty, a friend of the corrupt, who showed up shaking off the maids trying to stop him.

"Tilty, why are you out of the palace? What kind of blow are you?

"Because they called me! Oh, Her Majesty Queen Uphilia. In a good mood."

"Well done for coming, Tilty"

"Huh? Yufi called Tilty?

I tilt my neck because Yufi is not surprised and usually welcomes Tilty in. When did you call Tilty? Or don't come in shaking off the samurai.

Give instructions to the samurai who tried to stop Tilty to step back and let Tilty sit in his seat. Behind that Tilty follows the usual maid like a shadow.

Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia told me earlier that she was on her feet.

"At the very least, come back after you've touched it!?"

"I don't want you to tell me! I heard more than that! Why didn't you bring me a story when you started studying demon stones?

Bang, and Tilty slapping the desk hard. Then you hurt your hand with it. You're holding your own hand and moaning. You're as poor as ever... not!

"Uffi, did you tell Tilty?

"Yep. Except for Annis and Raini."

"... but that's true"

Basically, what you don't want to do is Tilty like being killed and not doing it. I've been given a medical exam, but I'm just taking it because it's also in Tilty's interest.

But if it's about demon stones, does Tilty eat it? This was also a blind spot. Well, you think we're friends on the brink of corruption, but you don't want to be certain when they say we're close...

"He didn't even show up because he was usually in a cage."

"That's terrible, not me and you."

"You know as much as I have to choose who to talk to because there's confidentiality involved!?"

"You don't have to tell me that!?"

"Inversely girred!? Oh, that's why I don't like the high tension Tilty! You don't listen to people!

"... Anis says it?

"It's similar to each other..."

"It's just a fellow hater."

Uffi, Raini, Ilia in the field, shut up!

"Just mix it up with me!

"Huh?"

I had such a voice in the words that jumped out of Tilty's mouth. What do you say when you suddenly come?

"Mix me with the study of demon stones too, Master Anis!

"You don't have to tell me twice to find out! You suddenly say you can't!?"

"Can't you?

…………

... Regrettably and abominably, I am very unwilling, but I find it more comforting to invite Tilty, who was involved in establishing the technique of engraving and stamping.

"... but it's not even a drawer cage, you. I'm not in the king's capital right now, am I?

"If you want me to follow you to the City of Magic, I'll go, okay?

"Are you insane? It's also a fever!?"

"Excuse me!?"

"What is Miss Jimmy Mushroom saying!

What do poor people say that they don't even like to get sunlight! No, trying to get out is a good thing though!?

"Isn't that good? Anis."

"Uffi, you didn't mean to call Tilty?

"It's also a loan to the rumored Marquis Clairette that he's haunting his head about his beloved daughter, and most importantly, he thought with Anis' report. Now the most demonic stones in this country are the likes of Tilty."

"... Huh?

"The Demon Stone feeds on the dyeing magic dyed by the Spirit. Then I thought if we used this principle successfully, we could use it for Tilty's constitution."

"... ahhh!? That's the way to make use of it!

Tilty is a nasty physique that when he congenitally tries to use magic, he breaks the magical balance of his soul and goes mad. Not many of the nobles of the Kingdom of Palettia have symptoms like Tilti.

In the case of Tilty, the use of magic is caused by excessive magic being taken by the Spirit. So Tilty hates it enough to curse magic. The only downside to sealing magic when using Demon Stone is where Tilty wants it.

Turn around, Demon Stone could be the hope of those who suffer from symptoms like Tilty. Think that far. Maybe Uffi called me Tilty.

"I myself, I'm not trying to cure my physique. If you can't use magic, that's fine, right? I think it would be interesting to study Demon Stone. Her Majesty Queen Uphilia wants to borrow my wisdom and sell thanks to your father by putting me in an official position. If I were to officially join the nation's organization, my father would welcome me at will, wouldn't he?

"You're a problem child in a drawer cage..."

"Thanks"

"I didn't praise you!?"

But it's true that Tilty would be helpful if he came, not just to study demon stones. Her knowledge is different from mine, so it's easy to get opinions from a different perspective. Besides, it is also a rare person who can perform medical examinations of Uffi and Raini.

Tilty and I don't fundamentally fit the idea, but that's not why there's a rejection. Rather, it's someone you think you can hold hands with. If we can do research together, no one is more comfortable with us.

"... or call me if you're in trouble. It looks like such an interesting study, you should have called me. For once, I'm still one of your few friends."

Hmm, and Tilty turning that way with his nose ringing. Its cheeks are slightly reddish because its skin is originally morbidly white.

"... because I definitely have more friends than Tilty, right?

"Ugh, shut up! Anyway, I'm telling you I'm gonna give you a hand! Look, joy!

"Aren't you disrespectful of boulders?"

Grasp each other as they chat to each other. With such a twist, Tilty decided to join the magic bureau.
