'Thank you all for taking the ti out of your busy schedules to gather here.'
'No, not at all. Master Rid is our Lord, so it is only natural that we should gather.'
The one who answered politely was Cheryl from the Werewolf tribe.
The other mbers of the group were Ovelia and Alma of the Rabbit Tribe, Mia of the Cat Tribe, and Bear.
Mia of the cat tribe and Kalua of the bear tribe are also present.
And now we are on the martial arts stage where the bowl battle took place.
Cheryl is looking at in awe, but her bushy tail is wagging a little to the side.
Mia notices this and grins.
Haha, Cheryl's tail is wagging. That's exactly what a loyal dog looks like.'
'Well, ...... we're a tribe of werewolves. I guess it can't be helped that my emotions show in my tail."
Ovelia nodded in agreent to Mia's words.
Cheryl's ears twitched at their words and she turned and glared at them.
'What did you say? 'Borrowed Cat and Lonely Rabbit.'
'Nah ‼ who's the borrowed cat ‼.
'Who is the lonely rabbit ‼?'
After that, the three of them started arguing with each other on the military stage, and Deanna, who was standing next to , was shaking her head in disgust.
I chuckled and asked Kahlua, who remained calm.
'Haha ...... are those three always like that?'
'Yes, we are in the sa group during training, so we are trained by Cross-dono. At that ti, the three of them often compete with each other. Well, I guess it's called the more they fight, the better they get on."
When Kahlua finishes speaking, all three of their ears twitch at the sa ti.
Then, as if in unison, they glared at him.
'Ya, Lord Bear ‼ who and who are good friends with whom ‼.'
'That's right, don't ss around ‼.'
'Yes, that's right. That's rude, Kalua. I am not like these people ‼.'
The three of them raise their voices, but Mia and Ovelia bite Cheryl's words and the three of them start arguing again.
Kalua responds to with a wry smile.
'Well, it happens all the ti. But more importantly, what is the reason Master Rid has called us here?'
'Oh, that. I want you to tell about the 'beastification' you and your team showed us in the battle of the bowls.'
The three n who had been quarrelling also pricked up their ears and turned to look at .
Among them, Kahlua was the first to speak.
'That's fine, but I've heard it said that 'beastification magic' is a race magic for beastn. With all due respect, I don't think the human race can do it, Master Rid, but ......"
'Yes, I know that. But before you decide that it's not possible, I'd like to try it out myself first.
The reason for gathering them this ti is to study the 'beastification magic'.
I know how great it is because I was the one who faced it in the bowl battle.
That's why I thought that if I could use similar, if not the sa, magic, I could aim for a higher level. That's what I thought.
Besides, I don't know what will happen in the future.
I think we should do what we can.
Then, Ovelia ca over to with a grin on her face.
'Good, that's what Rid-sama is all about. You've got a good eye for our 'beastification magic', don't you? Fine, tell what it feels like when I beco a beast, and I'll teach you ......."
Ovelia seed to have sensed Deanna's stern gaze while she was speaking, and she rephrased her words only at the end.
I nodded, chuckling at her appearance.
'Haha, thank you, Ovelia. Then, can you tell about it right away?'
'Yes. Well, I wish for power from the bottom of my heart, and I feel like I draw it out from the bottom of my stomach, and then I feel it overflowing from my whole body. ......"
"......."
As soon as she finishes, there is a short pause of silence.
In the midst of this, I cleared my throat and then answered Ovelia softly.
'Well ...... thank you, Ovelia. But, you know,...... I kind of understand what you're trying to say, but I'd like a bit more detail,...... haha.'
'So ...... I see. ...... sorry.'
Apparently, she herself thought this would not get across after she said it.
Unusually, her ears drooped and she shunned.
Mia speaks up when she thinks that in her current form, she might look like a lonely rabbit.
'Ha, but Ovelia's not entirely wrong."
"What do you an?"
At the sa ti as I ask, Diana glares at Mia.
Apparently, she was concerned about the wording.
Mia was imdiately freaked out like a borrowed cat, and continued talking while becoming docile.
'Well, I an, it's like ...... drawing out the magic from the bottom of your stomach and releasing it. Once you get the feeling, it's easier ...... than you think, but it's difficult to get that first feeling ......."
"I see."
Mia explained to as she struggled with her unfamiliar way of speaking.
Afterwards, I asked Cheryl and Kahlua, but it seems that the feeling is the sa.
In summary, 'it is possible to draw out the magic power from within oneself and make it overflow and temporarily boost the physical ability. The result of this is their beastification, which is visible on the surface.
In other words, does 'beastification magic' an 'enhancent magic' that draws out latent magical power in so way? At that ti, I had a certain flash of inspiration.
'Is it the Raw Magic Shinto ......?'
'......? Raw Magic ......?'
I couldn't help but mutter a flash of inspiration, and Cheryl asked curiously about what I had said.
'Oh, it's called Seima Shinto. It's one of the concepts in magic science. I won't go into too much detail, but, well, I thought it might give you a clue to beast magic.
'Well, I don't know much about ......, but there are a lot of different ideas.
The raw magic path was taught to by Sandra before, and I developed a special magic 'mory' based on that hint.
At that ti, mory was in the place where he told that I must not co here any more.
In other words, it's like a Pandora's Box in everyone's body.
However, my magical power is higher than before, so I might be able to make it.
Thinking this, I moved to the centre of the martial arts stage and sat down in zazen.
I then asked everyone who was pouting to watch from as far away as possible.
'Well,...... whether the demons or the snakes will co out,......, I might get angry at mory.'
I mutter, ditate and take a deep breath.
Then, as before, I concentrate deeply and convert my magic into life force.
I follow its destination.
Eventually, as before, I get the sensation of a small hole through which the magic power enters.
In the past, it was sucked into it, but this ti I concentrate my senses to widen the hole and let it overflow in the opposite direction.
At that mont, I felt a trendous rush of magical power from within myself.
At the sa ti, I was astonished.
(This is not sothing that can be ...... controlled. ...... ‼)
I try to suppress that torrent, but I can't.
This might really kill .
At the mont I thought that, an angry shout echoed in my head.
(You big idiot Rid ‼ I told you not to get over here, you want to die ‼).
(, mory⁉ Haha, sorry. I got carried away by curiosity. ......)
I speak with an unintentional wry smile, but there is no ti to spare.
mory continues talking while raising her voice.
(It's really not becoming ......, Rid ministry, anyway, I'll do my best to hold it down from the inside, and you'll do your best to hold it down from the outside. Great, if you don't do it, you'll die in ministry.)
(Wow, okay ‼)
In response to mory's words, I desperately continue to hold down the torrent of magic power from the outside as he says.
Gradually, the torrent of magical power gradually subsided and eventually cald down.
I exhale unintentionally and thank mory.
(Huh ...... mory, I'm sorry. Thanks for saving .)
(Huh ...... Rid. Listen, I keep telling you, you're not supposed to co here, okay? There isn't going to be a third ti, you know. Besides, everyone's worried about you, so get the hell out of here.)
(Okay. Thank you so much.)
After I finish my conversation with him, I think I hear soone's sad voice.
Eventually, I realised that the voice was that of Deanna, Cheryl and the others.
But sothing is heavy in my body and I slowly open my eyes.
When I woke up, I saw Diana peering at with a desperate look on her face.
'Master Rid, are you safe?!"
"Oh, hey, what's wrong with everyone⁉"
She confird that I had woken up and hugged tightly with a tearful look on her face.
I was surprised at what she said and did, and at the sa ti, I felt intense pain all over my body and involuntarily frowned.
I was even more surprised when I looked around and saw that the stage on which I was sitting had been battered and bruised.
Cheryl, Ovelia and the others were also staring at , sobbing.
I rembered the words of mory and spoke gently to them.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. I didn't think it would end up like this. ......"
'It's fine,...... no, it's not good. But I hope Master Rid is all right.'
Diana answered, hugging for a while and crying, worried for her own safety.
After a while, I and everyone else regained their composure.
I was stunned when everyone asked what had happened while I had been in my own consciousness.
It was not long after I had ford a Zen ditation in the centre of the martial arts stage.
Suddenly, a wave of magical power overflowed from and the area was enveloped in a frenzied wind and shockwave.
The magic wave eventually subsided, but I didn't regain consciousness for a long ti, and it seems that I caused a lot of worry to everyone.
I asked everyone to keep this matter a secret and promised Deanna and the others that I would never use this kind of magic again.
