A week after returning to the kingdom of Hendir.
The castle was still busy with the Demon King army, but Jessica told Rifa and I that they could live as usual.
In the meantime, we had a light Guild request while taking a break, but today we were doing special training with Rifa and Nia near the ruins of Orochi.
"Well then, let's do it. Sister."
"Shouldn't you put me back together?"
What we're going to do is we're going to merge? Practice the power to combine.
It seems possible to merge them with the power of the climax, but now Nia remains a child.
Now it's going to be a weakened form like I showed you a little while ago.
"No, I can't."
Er, Kate. I'm not running anymore. "
"It's not like I don't trust you. Rather, the opposite."
Continue talking to Nia, who is slightly overwhelmed.
"You have not yet been able to fully demonstrate your power as refana, nor have you manipulated it. It should be overcome with training, but in your case, it's different."
"You mean dangerous?"
"Yes, I've heard from Bern that his appearance as a refana would have allowed him to fight without any problems, but the form on it might have gone wild."
Now that I know what to say, Nia shrugs her shoulders. [M]
Well, I don't know what it's like to want to go back, but the reason I'm in this state is because this child deserves it, so I can't go back.
"That's why I think you should practice with that little riffana... no, mini-fana."
"Wait a minute, Kate...! Don't name our fusion destination on your own!?"
"I don't like such a cheap name!?"
I could hear the blame, but I put my hands on Rifa and Nia's shoulders and poured pure magic into them.
The two people with stunned expressions staggered back in surprise and instantly awakened to pure magic - turning their whole bodies into black and white and a form dyed with each color.
"Now, let's begin training."
"Kh, I can't help it. I'll do it, sister."
Ha!
With her whole body wrapped in magic, Rifa and Nia become one.
The moment they collide to attract each other, the light turns them into a girl.
A girl with white and black hair, Riphana.
I take out the rope I'm wearing on my waist and I make Hakuro appear to her in a different way.
"Mini-fana, are you ready?"
"Why don't you stop the mini-fana for now?"
Holding the rope loosely with both hands, let it wrap around the hakuro wind.
Although the opponent is exceptionally weak, they are combining the forces of Rifa and Nia.
With half-life force, we are pushed out.
We use physical strengthening, roping, and hakuro power.
Sif and the others are visiting nearby, so I have to come with only a limited amount of strength.
"Ah, already. I can't help it! Let's go, don't get hurt!!"
There is cold air at the foot of the reformer.
It was mixed with a shadowy black aura, and both the referees felt different from Nia's.
As I wrapped them around, I held a knife made of black ice and slashed it.
A quick attack that doesn't seem like a child.
I followed them with my eyes, wrapping a golden light of flesh strengthening in my right arm - catching the blade of the knife.
"Nah!?"
"Partial physical strengthening"
Pull your arms to escape the impact, grab the rope in both hands onto the body of the refiner, and throw it backwards.
"Flow rope"
"Hehhhhhhh!?"
A reformed reformer pokes his hand at the ground as he tries to step back, but throws a rope.
The magically manipulated rope travels precisely to Riphana, but she easily avoids it.
"Hakuro!"
Wow!
The rope bends at right angles like an animal and chases the refurner further.
When I catch her, I get away with the shadow shift.
She emerged from the shadow of a tree a little further away, pointing to a fluffy rope with a convulsing smile.
"Kate, what is that?"
"The range that the rope technique reaches is Hakuro's range. It's called... Wolf Territorial Wolf"
"Why won't you show that naming sense to my name...?"
Pull the rope wrapped in hakuro wind to your hand and hang it on the ground.
Unfortunately, my roping still doesn't reach Sheena's feet. [M]
That's why I sublimated this rope technique to a practical level with Hakuro's support.
"Don't be shy, come seriously."
"... it's fine. Even when I look like a child, I'm scared and strong...!"
Riphana wraps the ice around her hands and creates claws made of black ice.
When she shakes her nails down, ice debris is thrown like a bullet.
Hmm!
Turn the rope wrapped in the wind and knock down the rubble.
Are you using a flying gear? Then the next goal is...!
As expected, Riphana, who was in the shade just now, is nowhere to be found.
"There's a gap, Kite!"
I leaned my body against her nails, which had metastasized behind me.
Reefer's usual procedure.
It turns into a shadow of the opponent and strikes unexpectedly, but that doesn't make sense to me as a partner.
"War is too sweet! You idiot!!"
"Hyaaaa!?"
Avoided the attack and wrapped her around a rope in a disoriented position.
As she fell to the ground, she turned her eyes and looked tight.
After sighing at her, I call Sif here. [M]
"Schiff, General Review"
"I haven't exhausted my strengths. We treat black ice, which will have a powerful personality, only as a weapon. This is still gentle, but in short, the strategy is miscellaneous."
"Mummm...!"
As she took off the rope, she sat on the spot with a regrettable expression.
Somehow, she's using their powers as separate things.
I still don't know how much I can do and how I can apply it.
... the challenge is to be able to handle it well first.
"Here, when this happens!"
"Nh? No, wait a minute..."
Pure Magic Awakening!
The black and white aura envelops Riphana's body.
For a moment, it turned into an oval sphere like an egg, which disappears like an ice melt.
Reinforced form of the reformer.
The one who appeared in front of me without thinking -
"Haoo!"
"... a cat?"
It was a cat about the size of my knee... no, it was a lion's child.
Looking up at me, the hard-working lion is not normal, it seems to be formed by white and black aura.
This is the enhanced form of refiner in childhood...?
Is the size about twice as large as the size of the shift?
"Gururururu...!"
……
"Kite, calm down! Your face has become a disgusting thing away from the general tamer!?"
"Ha!?"
Returning to me with Schiff's voice, I look down at the lion refiner again. [M]
I'm not running wild.
I haven't, but apparently I can't talk.
"Haaa!"
"Kite, they're coming!?"
In the meantime, I saw the flying lion and threw a pure magic ball into my palm.
Then, suddenly, the lion, who had changed direction, turned towards the Pure Magic Ball and opened his big mouth.
Her throat rang with satisfaction, and she sat on the ground politely as she came before me. [M]
Guru ♪
"Isn't it too early to miss...?"
"Well, it seems that instinct takes precedence over will. At first, I would have tried to fight Kite normally...."
I'm forgetting the wild right away.
Definitely willing to be a reformer, but it would be more dangerous for an adult to be in childhood.
"I don't know what to do...."
Well, shall I teach you?
"Hmm!?"
When I was thinking about it while stroking the lion's head, I heard such a voice right behind me.
When I jumped back to the scene with my child Lion in my arms, there was someone behind me who couldn't have been here - Amia.
"Ah, Amia!? Why are you here!?"
"I came here with Bern's life to lead Reefer and Nia properly. I've been using shadow metastasis to ask you how you got here."
My sister will show her face soon. That said, Amia picks up the lion that I have.
She nodded one by one as she gazed at Riphana, who was uncomfortably violent.
"We are well equipped to unleash our power, but it looks like we're still ahead."
Are you okay?
"Yeah, I'm sure you two can do it. Nh, no!"
With such a soft voice, Amia separates the child lion refana from Nia.
Looking at me from the two people who fell to the ground in a stunned manner, she smiled as kindly as Mr. Nava did.
Kate, I'll take care of the rest.
"Yes... what can I do for you?"
"I'm just glad you're feeling it. While I teach both of you how to handle power, you should spend your daily life."
Got it. Reefa, Nia. Do your best? "
When I tell both of them, they return to me in haste for some reason.
For your sake, I was thinking through what I should do from now on.
