Between the thrones of Barca Castle.
A little bit after the New Year's, I was walking there.
Ars' brother, who was attending the New Year's celebrations in Fontana, returned to Barca Castle and was to be baptized immediately.
in a room behind a large, vibrant stained glass that was once called the Mochimi Room.
A well-calculated castle is sunlit into its stained glass and glistening mysterious light pours down onto the throne.
On that throne was brother Ars, the king of the sky, and next to that was Liina, the queen.
Step forward in front of the two, kneeling down and lowering your head.
Today, my own special baptism will be performed. [M]
"Now, let's perform the naming ritual. This name will protect you from the Lord and allow you to use your magic. But can you swear that this magic is only given to enrich people's lives and not to abuse it too much?
Seeing me lowering my head, Ars' brother on the throne uttered a word. [M]
It was supposed to be a baptism at this castle, not the church, but no one else was baptized.
There are only a small number of people here, including fathers and mothers.
It's a ritual like such a gathering of family members, but my neatly dressed brother Ars makes me nervous when he tells me like that.
"Yes, I swear."
Okay.
That's good.
Even though I was nervous, I was able to reply normally.
I'm putting my strength into my stomach to make a sound, and I'm putting magic into that voice.
I can't hear you because you're too loud.
"The sixth son of Asira and Marie. Ars Barca, the shield of God, baptizes you. From this, thou shalt encourage and live with honesty and purity. Then the LORD will give thee protection and watch over thee."
That's how you put your right hand in front of you, brother Ars.
I looked up and observed the movement of Mr. Ars.
Magic is released from the right hand that protrudes forward and changes its shape.
Characters and symbols that had never been seen in a round circle were complicated.
I wonder if that's the magic team for the naming ritual.
With that in mind, Liina, who was next to brother Ars, appeared in front of the unfolding magic team.
This Vulcania is not cold, though it is just the beginning of the New Year's winter.
Ice absorbing stones are installed to absorb the cold, while heating equipment is installed to adjust the room temperature.
Because of such a warm space, Liliner is wearing delicate clothing tailored to fine shiny thin fabrics.
The clothes match the stained glass color, and I think that person is the goddess.
The Liliner came out in front of Ars' magic team and named it after him.
"Your name is Alphonse. From now on, you will live as Alphonse. May God bless you."
When Liliner said that with that beautiful voice, there was a round of applause around her.
Everyone is congratulating me.
With that applause, I replied "yes" to my real mother.
"Cleaning! It's amazing. Sooner or later, the dirt falls off. It's shiny. With this, I guess we could have explored the Labyrinth more."
(Hey, Alphonse. Can't you just stop turning me into a test bench? I keep getting dirty enough that it won't get any cleaner)
(It's fine. Norn has been buried in the soil in the labyrinth for a long time, so you won't get punished if you clean it up like this)
A naming ritual performed at a baptism.
Wow, that's amazing.
I used to be called Alphonse, but now I feel like I finally got my real name.
I suppose so.
Until now, it's just a tentative name.
Even if I used the name Alphonse, I couldn't use magic.
But shortly after it was officially named, magical knowledge suddenly came into my head.
This allowed me to use my life magic. [M]
Now I'm using Cleansing magic on Norun.
This is a useful magic that removes any dirt in an instant.
In addition, magic such as [lighting], [drinking water], and [ignition] can be used.
These are called life magic and can be used by anyone.
However, it seems that the higher the ranks, the more magic you can use.
Especially if you have more magic than the main level, you can also use Heal .
It's amazing magic that heals any wound.
Apparently I can't use the [recovery] yet. [M]
Because I have the knowledge of life magic, but I don't have any information about Recovery .
Well, the more magic you have, the better you'll be able to use it.
(But you're saying that Ars can use other magic, right? Alphonse can't use Alphonse's magic?
(I can't. I was given magic by Liina-sama, not by my brother Ars. Only the magic of the naming parent can be used.)
(In that case, shouldn't Ars give me a name as well?
(I wish I could do the same, but it doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately, I can't help it. Besides, it will be spring soon. We need to be ready by then)
I would probably lie if I told you I didn't want the magic of my brother Ars or my part-time brother.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
I was able to learn about Meditation and Armed Enhancement , and I learned other things myself.
I switched my mind and decided to proceed with my preparations for the future. [M]
