Extraordinary – Ordinary – Soap!

We are now on our way to the Principality of Batis with a view to the heavenly crystal tree of Foristaan.

The Duchy of Batis is also the mother of His Royal Highness Edoardo, the Queen's home country of this country. She died about 10 years ago, but I hope she was very beautiful.

"The Principality of Batis is a good place. I'm sure Maria will like it too."

"Really?"

"Oh. There is a legend that the Virgin who saved this world 1600 years ago descended on the Duchy of Batis"

"He said he stood down..."

"The Virgin of another world, just like you."

To His Highness's story, I and Maria opened our eyes. I'll see you in the face without either.

"... what happened to the Virgin after that?

"I don't know. I heard from my mother that in the past, the people of Batis had recruited the Virgin from different worlds, and the Virgin had purified the Celestial Tree.... That's all."

Having said that, His Highness reassembled his legs and you just looked out the window saying that he was no longer interested in the story.

I mean, the Virgin doesn't even know if she's been returned. Is that what you mean?

If the Virgin could have returned, I'm sure Maria could have returned.

"Don't you know more?

"I'm not a Batis person. I'm from Banfield. That's all it conveys to Banfield about the Virgin. I've never heard of him since."

Your Highness, who always speaks kindly to Mr. Maria, returns a rare but cold word. It's like you don't like being touched by that story.

"I knew you wouldn't make it home."

Next door, I heard Maria squeak small.

The whining spreads cold on my chest as well.

- I can't go home.

That must be the first word that was given to Mr Maria. If you can go home, I'm sure you won't be on the table talking about your engagement with His Highness or anything.

Forced to recruit for this world, no means to return. Such a tyrannical story is not a fairy tale or anything, but right now, it's down to Maria.

"Oh well..."

To His Highness's story, Maria also let her gaze out the window when she cut the words.

So, to the carriage, only silence got off for a while.

"Come on! Lucia, it's a promise! Let's experiment!

When I got out of the carriage for a break, Erik-kun ran over, as I had been waiting for him.

"Yes, I'll measure the amount of magic first! I don't know what the impact is, so get out of the way."

When I give Erik-kun the silo that was sticking out of my apron pocket, I give him the measuring instrument that was handed to me in exchange.

"You're fully healed. Well, try your magic."

To one word of “magic," one way or another.

It's okay, this time it shouldn't have any particular impact. This is for examining the effects on me, so I shouldn't be hurting Maria because of this.

But I knew I was a little scared, and I looked around.

Then I saw Mr. Ceres looking at this one.

Seeing Mr. Ceres nodding so as to strengthen his strength, I consolidated my resolve.

I'm not scared. It's okay, it can be used properly.

"" Chavon "!

Along with the spell, fluttering seven-colored chavon balls appeared. Fluffy up in the blue sky, the chavon balls sparkled playing the light of the day.

"I see. Well, even if I have one, say it once."

When Erik removed the crystal from his chest, he handed it to me unconstitutionally. It's important, so I rush to receive it with both hands. Normally, magic doesn't work without crystals that are mediators.

You can use magic without magic. Because magic stones are made from shards of polished crystals, whether you use magic using crystals or magic using magic stones, you will need crystals either way.

So you're really wondering why my magic can be used without crystals. When I was little, I used it without knowing how it worked, so it was normal to use it without crystals.

"" Chavon "!

I will do my hand on the borrowed crystal and chant it again.

Looking at the same chavon balls that appeared earlier, I measured the amount of magic again.

"Oh, it doesn't change?

Erik, who checked the scale, gave a surprised voice.

"Wait, let's try it again from the beginning"

"Yes."

But no matter how many times I did it, the results were the same.

It seems that my magic has no change, whether there is a crystal or not.

"That's crazy. Because it is activated without mediation, I thought that mediation (sooner or later) would reduce the burden for that amount..."

"Aren't you with me?

"Maria."

Maria called out to us looking at the measuring instrument.

"Um, maybe it is after all. Is the power of the Virgin similar to that of Lucia? It doesn't seem like we're activating the power."

I wonder why, Erik thought about it.

"Why can't someone else's magic be used without a crystal?

"The celestial tree is made of crystals, right? Our magic is activated for the first time in resonance with the Celestial Tree. I'm not sure how it works, but I'm told that crystals are seen as shards of celestial trees, or that they use crystals as a medium to draw power from celestial trees."

"Why not?

"Even if you want to study it, there are many demons near the Tenjing tree, so you can't come near them."

"And yet you know it resonates with the celestial tree?

"A long time ago, there was only a little research going on. Once the purification of the celestial tree has been fulfilled, you want to proceed with that research, don't you? Isn't that romance?

Raising the crystal I gave back to you in the sun, Erik gave me a full smile.

You must really like research.
