A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1271: Erica's Origin. (Dragons in genealogy. )
The breaks for the front carriage now are Erica and Alice.
"Erica. What is your birth?
Chibiconoja was stuffing Erica.
"No... no matter what they say..."
Erica is behind Konoha's sword curtain.
"Konoha, what are you going to do when you hear about Erica's origins?
"... I won't do anything.
Erica just wanted to ask if magic could be used.
Konoha turns to Alice and says:
"Erica, can you use magic?
"Yeah, you can use me and Cassandra.
Well, you won't be on the battlefield, so you can only do care, shield, aqua, elementary magic...
Oh, I knew I couldn't use it.
Say the opposite as if Erica remembered something.
"?... Erica, what do you mean?
"I totally forgot, I can't even use elementary magic without magic tools.
Before that, you could do certain magic with a ring... for example, if you attached it so that Fire could do it, and if you could do it so that you could take care of it.
But I left it when I left home.
During my journey, I thought I'd procure it, but I forgot what it was.
"Is it a family thing?
"We have been doing that for generations.
I have a lot of magic aptitude and power, but I can basically use only one magic stick to activate it.
We don't all have the same thing, so we have to try and check it out.
I happen to find out early, so I can do it.
Looks like I haven't known for years or something.
By the way, we can use our financial resources to make rings that can use elementary magic... but we can't even replace a single ring, so...
You had about 3 to carry.
"Heh, but that's good.
I envy you because I can't do magic.
By the way, what can you do?
"I'm... a limited blast, to put it simply.
"Is it Ex?
"It's similar, but it's not.
In my case, I bonk at the part I aimed at with the other body.
Erica explains with her hands patted open.
"... that's lame.
"Well, it's only specialized in destroying the target, and it's too user-friendly.
I've never been of any use to you before.
"But Mr. Erica, why did you give it to me?
"No, I consciously aim for this, so it's hard to activate it when it's moving.
Maybe if I were about Lord Alice, they'd move better, so I don't think I'd hit...
The best I can do is when I'm sitting or talking... but I'm not going to hit anything all of a sudden, so it means I'm going after someone I'm hostile to... but I'm not hostile to the normal side, so in the end, I can't use my magic.
Erica laughs bitterly.
"... is it?
They say it's easy to use... mmm... it helps to give fear when negotiating or something.
"It's not that kind of negotiation.
It's blackmail. "
"Sure.
"Hey, Alice, Erica.
Where did Erica come from?
Konoha will listen.
"I am a former royal family of the Katlanda Empire.
I am the eldest daughter of the present Emperor.
I ran away from home.
"Is that a runaway?
"I'm running away from home.
"The royal family of the Katlanda Empire.
Huh... is that why Vieira cares?
Konoha squeaks.
"Hmm? Konoha, what?
"No.
Biella came home with Erica this time, didn't she?
It seems that Vieira cared so much about Erica at the time.
We talked quite a bit in the little one's room.
"Erica has something".
"Ah... indeed, Lord Vieira always saw you.
I was talking to Lord Mia about something and she said it was a follow-up.
"Mm-hmm? But wait...
Alice, the kingdom of Azpur is also the Katlanda Empire if we correct the former, right?
I saw a book that was in the mansion before, and it should have written about that.
"Yes, about a thousand years ago, I decided to entrust the eastern side of the country to you, brother of the then Catalan Emperor, which will lead to the founding of the kingdom of Azpur.
Your current Majesty counts from that brother. You're in the 34th generation.
"Does that mean that Erica's condition also applies to Amy and the present royal family?
But when all Biella cares about is Erica... I see Erica has a lot of magic and Biella cares?
"No... I used to measure it in Imperial Capital, but the amount of magic is about 5,000.
"That's a lot.
"A lot, but... not as much as Vieira cares.
If it's not the amount of magic... it's the blood muscle.
Erica, anything in the royal anecdote?
You can cut through the mountains with a swing of a sword, crack the ocean and walk, marry a fairy or something.
"Right... I don't know if it's true, but the story remains that your ancestors had a child with a dragon.
So the imperial flag of Katlanda is like a dragon's tattoo, and so is the kingdom of Azpur, its genealogy, right?
"... Dragon... I wonder if that's where Vieira reacted.
Erica may qualitatively be ancestral.
"... there's nothing to say about this.
"What's it like to be a kid with a dragon and a person?
Dragons are egg raw in the first place, right?
How do you make a baby?
Alice is wondering.
"Well good.
In the meantime, Erica needs to buy a ring that can activate magic so that the magic of the explosion can be done.
"Right.
I somehow forgot to buy it in Imperial City, during my journey, or Wang Capital.
I wish it was in East Town.
"I do.
Even so, I haven't been to East Town often either.
There must have been a magic store.
"Then buy it there.
You should get Taylor to make the other elementary magic associations when you get back.
"Right.
If you're manager Taylor, you can also use magic engraving, so you can make good stuff.
Alice snorted too.
