Today I’m blood ssaging with Mysty. (T/N: aning it’ll beco long-winded)
We updated each other on the recent events, just like I did with Viine the other day. However, Mysty didn’t show much interest in Quiche’s Cydale, the Sea of Trees, the Death Butterfly people, Valmask, the orcs, the black-haired noble youth, Kisara, Great Desert Goldix, the Black Witch Church, or Red Tiger Storm. However, once I brought up the various information I gained from Gramps Ton (thanks to my house being next to his)…
『Life and death, and life force…huh? Quite the profound insight. It deeply sinks into one’s heart like a flower that scatters transiently. But, who is he? He doesn’t sound like so ordinary old man to …』
Maybe because of her experience as lecturer, she holds interest in Gramps Ton’s strategist-like wisdom. And just as I talked about the ancient wolfn and taking her with into the underground world, she also got curious about the 【Tool of Bee Style】 that’s related to the Underground Goddess Rolga.
『Right now I’ve got various things on my hands as well…』, she said.
Naturally I ask for her to give more details on what she ant with ‘various’.
『I’ve succeeded in deciphering a part of the epitaphs left behind by my brother. When I chanted a spell through an exclusive magic book, layered magic crests surfaced in the center of the laboratory, and on the floor beneath those crests, a secret door suddenly manifested with a bubbling…it got totally startled. But you see, that door is firmly locked and doesn’t open at all
Since the magic crests are set up in a way that allows them to absorb mana from behind the door without leaking anything outside, I can analyze them, but…the door’s lock is a different beast altogether. Even when I tried to force the door open by pulling and twisting while relying on my Lucival strength, it didn’t budge. I also had Hankay hit it with his ax, but to no avail. It’s ridiculously sturdy, so he couldn’t destroy it. I think it’s a lock that uses an alloy containing a rich amount of mana, but…it’s not like any mana is leaking out from there. It resembles the vault, which combined wood and tal, for sealing away Wild God Cazdolo』
When she told all that, I imdiately had an idea. Wouldn’t one of they keys, which Kuna had with her, be able to open that basent door? Just like it was ntioned in Sol’s diary…Sol and Kuna were doing business with each other.
『…Maybe one of the keys owned by Kuna first for that secret doors of yours』
『Eh!? If you possess those keys, I’d love to try them, but…going by what you’ve told …it’ll be impossible right away, won’t it?』
『True』
『Well, it’s not like I’m in any hurry. This door is sothing my brother left behind, so it’s possible that Kuna’s keys might not fit. And I’ve got plenty of other things to do as well』
『Sorry. The defense of Cydale has beco pretty robust, and the increase of personnel is proceeding well when you include Red Tiger Storm, but I have various matters to attend such as going to the wolfn’s base and visiting Hekatrail』
『…Oki. For now it’s plenty that we can communicate like this』
Looking at her blood ssage…I’m recalling Mysty’s beautiful, bespectacled face.
『These are my true feelings, you know? I think I’ve realized after remaining here to continue my research without following you, Master, or going back to the magic academy, but…even the study of lady’s magic crest, which we discovered in the outhouse, is still ongoing. The axle-like marks, and the depression which seems to be intended for a ball to be inserted…I think it’s for putting down offerings. I’ll postpone further investigation for later since it looks dangerous…. Anyway, just like I said many tis over, I’m truly bogged down by a load of things I need to do』, Mysty repeats to stress it.
It made feel her enthusiasm to prioritize her research.
『There’s also the research of the furnace for the new sorcery doll』
The new model she showed off on Rollodeen the other day was pretty damn cool. I wonder what kind of changes it’s going to experience in the future…
『Yep. The small magic blast furnace left behind by my brother is working well. That and the effects of materials that can only be procured here are allowing for a steady developnt of the new sorcery doll. However, I feel like deciphering the encrypted docunts, which also include printing and research terminology in addition, is quite difficult』
『You succeeded in deciphering a part of the epitaphs, didn’t you? Mysty, you’re a smart woman, so I think you’ll be able to decipher the rest soon』
Sothing like this world’s law of montum conservation…Mysty is actually soone who might understand the calculations to balance the internal stress of complicated actions and reactions that add mana and the powers of gods to the conflict between mass and speed.
『Hehe, you’re absolutely right! is what I’d love to say, but you see…this requires a comparison of docunts and materials, a check whether the materials really fit, and a fine adjustnt of the mana supplied to the furnace in proportion to the total amount of materials』
『Sounds like it’s going to take so ti, huh?』
『Yep. And also, I think I talked about it before, but I think I’ve slightly understood the answer to the basic question why my brother chose this forest as hiding place』
The Whirlpool Forest of Demonic Fog is the sleeping place of ancient gods like Kokbruuundozuu-sama, so that might play a role as well.
『It might be the environnt after all?』
『Yeah, you could summarize it like that』
『And in detail?』
『…I’d say it’s a result of putting together the investigation results of Hankay and Viine in the forest and the docunts about highly enigmatic, unknown sorcery dolls…my thodical brother left behind』
Sol’s docunts and the environnt, huh?
『Before talking about the ancient gods and so on, you got to see that abnormally many monsters spawn in this forest』
『Oddly enough, the materials of those monsters fit perfect with my new sorcery doll, you see. And this is sothing I’ve understood after comparing my brother’s docunts, but…even the natural materials you can only find in this forest…match perfectly with my new doll as well for so reason…it’s so weird that I’ve started to think that these docunts, and everything else have been prepared in advance for the sake of my new generation of sorcery dolls…』
Does she want to tell that her brother left the docunts behind for his little sister?
『…Hihi, yes. We’re just using blood ssages, but I can totally tell what you’re thinking, master』
『Sorry』
『No, it’s okay. My brother hasn’t taken into his consideration much anyway. But, maybe because my brother thought that his own research might co in useful for sorcery doll research, he left his cherished docunts behind for future generations…maybe he just wanted soone to acknowledge the fruits of his own work, though. But, still, there are characters in those docunts no one other than would understand and such…s-so…shit, shit…』
Seemingly crying, Mysty’s blood ssaging has started to co in with delays. Even her habit of cursing revealed itself in her blood ssages…
But that’s right, isn’t it…? I should tell her that her brother has left all of this for her, even if it might be for a different reason in reality…
『I think that Sol might have left his docunts behind while believing that you, if anyone, might be able to understand them』
I rember that a little sister was ntioned in the conversations between Theta and Sol.
『Mmh, thanks. …Sheesh, you’re such a softie…』
Sol was a first-class sorcerer. At least he was excellent enough to belong to the magic guild. Now that I’m thinking about it, he might have had sothing to do with the 【General Sorcery Association】.
Recalling the conversations between Sol and Theta…I rember how Theta said, “Master, you’re a genius.” It’s not like she rely flattered Sol out of adoration.
Once I consider that she might have ant it very seriously, I shudder lightly.
And now a basent door leading to the laboratory of such a genius, eh? Just around anything could be hidden down there…
Speaking of basent doors, it reminds of Kuna’s store and the ti when Shadow Wing’s Kary infiltrated 【Thorny Tail】. It was after I fought against Kary, Raiza, and two brilliant fighters. After escaping from the office, I advanced into the underground facility with the circus venue where Mabaon and the other rare, pegasus-like beats were held captive. And when I proceeded through the underground there, I reached Kuna’s store.
In addition to having stairs going up to the first floor from her store’s basent, it also had a magic crest of teleportation. The destination of that teleport was…well, it’s predictable that it led to Kuna’s private room in the demonic labyrinth…
In order to continue my lengthy considerations, I had stopped sending blood ssages for a while, opening up a break in our conservation.
Thereupon, 『…Master, thanks a lot』
Suddenly Mysty thanks .
『What’s wrong?』
『It’s what I wanted to say after considering everything. I’ve also exchanged blood ssages with Rebecca, Eva, Viine, Yui, and Veronika, but…everyone is groping for their own path of blood after having beco separated from you, master』
They’re all in positions allowing them to create blood families from now on, after all.
『Their own paths of blood, huh? In that regard I feel like you’ve had a grasp on your path of blood as Lucival from the beginning, Mysty』
『Yep. As you know as well, it’s all for the sake of an eternal life. The sa can be said about what I’m doing right now』
Right. She’s not just all about tal either.
『Path of blood…which reminds , the skill’s na is blood path too. Is it so kind of pun?』
『Master, you might be laughing at the mont, but this is an extrely important matter, you know?』
『I know』
At that mont, I turned over. Quiche’s sister Lash-san cos next to my bed, following my eyes. Pressing a finger on her lips, she appeals to to kiss her or sothing.
Isn’t the character of this girl completely opposite of Quiche’s? But still, I do have the ambition of kissing her as a ghost soday.
Answering her expectations, I reach my fingers for her, but they pass through her body. Lash-san pouts with a sullen expression, and heads out on the training ground. Despite being a ghost, she’s integer enough to fly down from the window instead of simply passing through the walls.
Then again, my can seize Lash-san. I an I don’t have any issue with watching her wriggle after getting caught by my chain, butI don’t have a hobby of putting won into turtle shell bondages.
As I imagine Lash-san’s boobs being accentuated by such a bondage, Mysty’s blood ssage pops up, albeit not as a retort.
『All of them are growing as they put in great efforts as 』
『No doubt. Viine seems lonely, but I know that she’s doing her best』
『I also…share the loneliness and sadness of not being able to et you with all of them. Even right now, I’m aching…』
『Whoa, just a sec. If you tell sothing like that, I’ll get aroused』
『Bah, you pervert!』
This blood ssage alone reminds of Mysty’s expression when she soothingly smiled at . She’s probably sticking out her tongue a bit, isn’t she?
『Ahaha, sorry』
『Haha, you’ve made laugh out loud! Hehe, it’s alright since I have Viine and Hankay-san listen to my grumbling over here and Eva as well as Yui through blood ssages. And I think all of us feel happy as we can actually experience how we’re growing day by day by being separated from you, master』
They feel happy, huh? She said it quite casually, but…I’m very glad to hear that.
『I see. It makes overjoyed then. I’m looking forward to your growth, Mysty. Including your sorcery dolls and research』
『Thanks. My expectations of the new sorcery doll are very high. I’ve been properly focusing on tripling its speed by possessing a horn as you ntioned the other day, master! Hehe, still, a fusion seems rather challenging』
Fusioning robots are the dream of every man, but I’ll endure.
『…Ah, just now you fiddled with your glasses and put them on your desk, didn’t you?』
『How did you know?』
『I can mostly imagine it』
『What, and here I was sure the blood ssaging had evolved, allowing you to see 』
『That’s impossible. Though I can’t tell whether it’ll evolve like that in the future. Anyway, let’s stop the reporting at this point』
『As you wish, master! Please take care of again when we challenge the underground goddess. After coordinating it with Viine, I should also inform Hankay-san. I’m sure he’ll be eager to accompany us underground. And maybe we’ll find the city appearing in my dreams down there!』
『Sure』
『See you』
As I wrapped up the blood ssaging…the voices of everyone reached my ears from the training ground below. The voices of Hel and Kisara, who are watching Muu’s training, and also the elf Dokoko-san’s voice.
“They don’t let put on my new clothes!”, shouts Dokoko-san.
“Puyuyu!” is audible as well.
It seems they’re near Muu, but…I can also hear Red Tiger Storm talking with Higlia.
“You bloody fools! I haven’t forgotten a single thing!” Moga is complaining to Mie-san and Professor Domidon. Bucchi is vouching for Mie-san. And Nemus’s rumbling voice can be heard as well. On top of that, Quema and Solobo are exclaiming that they don’t understand the language, while Gramps Ton gives so of his philosophical insights.
Just as always with Gramps Ton.
“Making sweets and everything else is a ssage. After all, adoration is eternal.”
Following Gramps Ton’s incomprehensible remark, the Burning Knights’ deep voices – while overlapping with each other – recount stories of the Spirit World. Seemingly having co to watch Muu’s training, the Burning Knights got all riled up about the book of a Spirit World Eight Wisen mber.
Moreover, Catiza has also joined the fray, “Kyuupiin? Muu-chan, are you Emissary-sama’s pupil? In that case, it’s similar to you being my junior since I’m an , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
