Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Evolution of Schlein

In the middle of a magical formation rising in the middle of the room, Shreyn was casting a long spell.

The spell is completely different from the magic and sacred magic passed on today.

It was a spell passed on to vampires from ancient times, but not to any other species except some.

The rising magic team had a red hue that looked terrible at first sight.

That's what it should be, and that color is the color of blood, which is special to vampires.

In the past, I have been repressed for seeing similar rituals as heretical techniques.

Certainly, when I saw this ceremony for a moment, I thought that I might get such an impression, and I was watching Shreyne's performance.

The auxiliaries are now in a room for these rituals at Vamilinian Castle.

In addition to the usual members, several members of the Vamilian family were watching the ceremony.

For them, it's been a long time since it was performed.

No matter how much Shreyne has special powers in the family, we don't know what will happen.

Half of them say they're watching for it.

The other half was to confirm the ritual of purely contemporary resurrection.

"... at all."

Next to Kaiseki, while watching the ceremony, it was Zenet, who was close to Shreyn, who murmured.

Incidentally, before performing this ritual, Shreyn is covering the ceremonial area with boundaries so that whatever happens, so if it is kept to a low voice, it will not reach Shreyn.

"That much?

"Let's do that. Even the holy phrase that the princess is chanting now must be performed by ten high-ranking users."

Sacred phrases mean something to vampires.

Originally, multiple magicians gathered to perform the ritual, but Shreyne did it alone.

"... are you okay?

Apart from studying aids, the spells passed on to vampires by other members are totally outside the scope of my knowledge.

Therefore, it is up to the appearance to determine how much of the burden rests on Schlein.

At least as far as I was concerned, I felt like I was using a little bit of a big magic.

"It seems to us that there is no problem."

That's what Zenet said and laughed.

To them, the fact that they are able to perform this ritual by themselves without any problems is a problem in itself.

"The power of the princess herself is the same, but what is it... perhaps the power of the lord is mixed. Thanks to this, it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment."

"My power..."

The examiner closed his eyes while tilting his neck to Zenet, who said so while looking at the examiner.

If Shreyn is using his protective powers, whatever it is, he can feel it in his examinations.

Since Lirica and Peach expressed their power, they have been able to do that.

"It does seem to be used, but... what is it?... like tying something up...?

The examiner questioned the force of uncertainty.

The length of the hearing expressed surprise on his face.

"Do you see that?

"Do you know... something sensory?

"That's enough. Somehow, it's been a long time since we've had anyone who could feel this power."

Just knowing that kind of Zenet is also knowledge meant that you can't actually feel its power.

"Are you okay with this?

"Even if I say tie it up, it's about the contract. Do you two already have a blood contract?

The examiner finally remembered what he had been told.

At first, Mitsuki had such a contract when he called Shreyne.

"The ritual we're going to do now is to strengthen it even more, or to strengthen the bond without changing the contents of the contract."

By entering into a stronger contract, the surgeon's power could be dramatically increased.

Exactly what Shreyn wants right now.

"... maybe it's time."

With that kind of story as Zenet, it seems that we are finally ready.

There was no one to speak but Shreyn, and only Shreyn's voice echoed in the quiet room.

In conclusion, Schlein's ritual was a success.

Shreyne, who had finished the ritual on the boulder, was fluffy, but this was because he performed a large ritual.

Rather, it is incredible that the Vamilinian family has done so much.

After the ceremony, I tried to confirm the power and contract of the examiner, but the examiner himself did not change anything.

As Zenet said, it was just a ritual to enhance Schlein's power.

Above all, the ceremony made a big difference to Schlein.

Nothing seemed to change, so nobody around seemed to notice.

Schlein, who was resting in the corner of the room where the ceremony took place, was presented with a card by Kaiseki.

It's a crown card that Kouchi quickly took while Shreyn was resting.

When Kouchi brought it, it was an empty card, but now Kaiseki wrote down the current status of Schlein.

"... what is this?

"A newly made crown card. It seems that the quality of the magic has changed because of the ritual. I made it because I had to make it new. All we have to do is cast the magic of Shreyne and show it."

That's what the examiner said with a smile.

It was Shreyne who felt a little uncomfortable with the smile, but he honestly showed the status to the crown card through magic.

Though I did the ritual, I didn't think there was a big change in my skills, but I stopped looking at it at one point.

After unexpectedly checking the indication several times, Shreyne looked at the study aid with a surprising expression.

The examiner who was seen remained smiling.

"Is this really...?

While looking at the study aid with some anxiety, Shreyne heard so.

"I don't make jokes like that in places like this."

"I know that's true, but... no, it's true that you don't believe me..."

Shreyn, who was confused, shook her head several times.

If you do that, naturally those around you will notice it.

The members who were chatting a little further away came together.

"What's wrong?

Sylvia asked before the other members.

"Oh, that's..."

Schlein stopped trying to give an answer.

"No, let me tell you something."

"Really? Okay."

From Shreyn's appearance, Kaiseki gave up telling the answer honestly.

"Apparently, the ritual has allowed us to evolve. I was just going to show my protection."

"" "" Eh...!!? "" "

I was surprised to raise my voice.

To the members, Shreyn presented the crown card.

The skill level does not matter now.

Unlike before, it was labeled a "true ancestor vampire" in the status tribe.

Apart from evolution, it definitely had a different species name than Schlein before the ceremony.

The members who saw the display were first surprised and then delighted.

Of course, I think they sent me ahead.

But more than that, the joy of finally seeing the way is greater.

It was natural for joy to grow in the light of the past.
