metastatic magic.

Speaking of which, when I was first called to this world, the king said it. "Transfer magic to the periphery" ─.

After meeting everyone, I've heard a lot about whether that kind of magic exists. The answer is, "It exists. But I've never heard of a user".

"Metastatic magic" is a fairly high-altitude magic and consumes a lot of magic. If you do poorly, it won't activate unless you synchronize in a group and cast a spell. I mean, it seems like that's how hard magic is.

That's right.

If the magic of sending objects and humans to the other side of hundreds of kilometers in an instant can be used in a wheel, the logistics will collapse. That is, there is no way that the port town of Ilgafa can be a major trading place.

This means that "metamagic" can only be used by royals who can move a large number of wizards, or something that can be used in a special way.

This time, the magic of metastasis that we used was being cast into the alley.

That probably means' special way '. It should also be instant, and given its size and scope, it shouldn't be able to travel long distances...

While we were thinking about it, we were being transferred somewhere we didn't know.

"Welcome, chosen nobles"

When I opened my eyes, it was a western hall surrounded by woods.

Around the hall, there was a large area exposed with dirt, me, Leticia and Katras, a baroness waiting for Leticia in the alley, and a man in black who had responded to the call in front of the Lordship.

And standing in front of the hall is a brunette girl, wearing a hat and hiding her face in a vale.

"I apologize for being so absurd. There was a story I wanted to tell you only to the chosen aristocrats…"

She looked around at us and thanked us slowly.

"For this reason, we have invited you to this' Hall of the World Spirit ', which will take decades from the port town. This neighborhood is called the' Sealed Forest ', where high-level demons live. There's no one here to talk to."

I see.

"Sender: Nagi

Recipient: Cecil Illis

Body: Something tells me we've been flown from Ilgafa to the other side for decades. "

"Sender: Cecil

Recipient: Nagisama Iris

Body: What happened!? Are you alright Nagi!!?

"Sender: Illis

Recipient: Hey there. Cecil.

Body: "Consciousness Sharing and Modification" message is within a two-day walk, right? Are you all right? Leticia, and Katras?

Message returned.

It was a surprising neighborhood here.

"We have limited the number of escorts in order to communicate the information only to those chosen. I think it is disturbing that all the proud noblemen should be separated from their men and guards."

The girl with the vale on said as she looked around.

"... Leggy, are you there?

"Naturally."

Leggy the Devil's Sword trembled on my back. [M]

Next, touch the "Tenryu's Bracelet" you put on your right arm. A faint voice returns, 'Yes, sir'. There's Shiro too.

Neighboring Katras is pointing to Baruval's breast worn under his clothes. Feen can also be called in at any time. I'm also communicating with Cecil and Iris in real time. I have plenty of company. No problem.

"... I have taken these means for your safety. There are skills and items in this world that you do not know…"

The girl with the veil told her with a grin on her mouth.

"Cutlass. Ask Feen. Whether you feel signs of 'sacred relics (artifacts)' around you"

"... they feel it"

Katras nodded.

"After the transfer just now, he said he felt signs. Transfer magic is a god-class ability, so I also wonder if it would be possible to use it so easily if it weren't for" sacred artifacts. "

Copy that.

I mean, 'skills and items you don't know' definitely means cheat skills and artifacts.

"This land is blessed by the Spirit of the world, a place beyond which the forefathers did not tread."

The girl in the vale keeps explaining.

"It will be difficult for you all to get through the woods. There is a kingdom surrounding us, and the souls of the dead."

"Sender: Nagi

Recipient: Cecil Illis

Body: ─ ─ Because '

"'Cecil Iris: I thought of measures!

All right. Now there's no problem.

And then...

"You know, Leticia."

"I know. That's what they're for and who they are."

Leticia nodded, as if she knew what I was trying to say.

Hissing and exchanging words, me and Katras are kneeling behind Leticia's oblique back.

Here, Leticia is a nobleman attending a royal party, and me and Katras decided to be his squire.

I originally intended to attend the party with this member. Preliminary exercises are ready.

"... the question is, are they really princesses?"

I saw the girl standing in front of the hall.

On the left and right of the girl wearing the hat and the vale on her face is a soldier, lighting a magical 'light (light)' on the tip of her sword. Still don't see the girl's face. Analyzing who she is, the possibilities are.

(1) The Royal Princess Claudia

Basis: The royal family can use metastatic magic. And the princess is a royal human being. And "Lady Baron Lalambelle", who invited us here, said, "Princess Claudia called me."

(2) Visitors

Basis: Visitors are traveling to the border with metastatic magic (apparently). It's not surprising that visitors have the relevant powers.

(3) Other: noble or common people, demi human.

However, Demi Human is unlikely. Because there is no reason to gather only aristocrats.

That's it.

Because of this. Let me find out who she is and the power she has.

"Wise nobles. Please listen. This time, like the gargoyle that showed up in town, there's always an invisible crisis."

said the girl.

"Also, there is a demon king on the periphery. That demon's hand does not know when it will come to this kingdom either. Now... you must have seen it. Demons attacking the town. A nobleman is one who has a people and a territory. If a demon like that showed up there, what would you do about it? Ladies and gentlemen, can soldiers fight alone?

"" Vale. "

Unexpectedly, the noble girl who lured us here said.

The name is for sure...... Baron LaLaLambelle, is it?

"Before we talk, will you please keep your promise? I brought an acquaintance nobleman here."

"I know. Give you new power as a 'friend referral privilege'"

"It's an honor." Vale. "Okay," Deacon. "

"Great. We'll have a deacon with a psychic within ten days."

"Thank you." Vale. "

"On your way home - wait at the transfer portal in the hall. We'll arrange to return as soon as the business is over."

The girl who nodded to the girl Vale and brought us here walked into the hall.

We don't even want to see it.

Really, you just brought me here for the perks......

"Let's get back to it. We're talking about a crisis that's always aimed at you."

The Vale girl also saw us and the nobleman who came with us.

"Aristocrats are those who have lost. The territory, the materials, the family - don't you think we need the strength to protect them? Like Gargoyle this time, we don't know when the unseen danger will strike you."

"What are you talking about!?

A man in black raised his voice so that he could no longer stand it.

"How did you get us here? Explain it!!

Angry is the aristocratic man who was in front of Lord Ilgafa's house. Well, it's a good idea to be angry. If all of a sudden they bring me here.

Vale's girl against it - she just laughs at her mouth - looks faint.

Have you anticipated such a reaction? I tried to tread quite a few places. I have an interviewer who intentionally cleans up job seekers with compression interviews or something, but that's what it feels like.

"This is Baron Garnzo. Thank you for your disrespect."

The girl put her hand on the chest of the dress and glanced at the man.

"As the clerk said earlier, this is a place to recommend products to you. It is twenty days away from Wang Du. I wouldn't recommend ridiculing your voice like that."

"There will be enough disrespect!?

The male nobleman shouted.

"If you want to recommend a product to us, you should send a messenger to recommend the story. Can you trust someone who imitates you like this!

"Some aristocrats, those already in the position of knights, are invited to use our products to broaden the playing field"

"It doesn't matter!! Call your men now! You and so on, they'll beat you down here!

"Disqualified."

The girl pampered, snarling her fingers.

At the same time, a soldier who was holding back on her left and right moves out.

A male escort pulls out his sword. But soldiers moved faster. The soldiers, dressed in black armor, lightly sprayed the sword of the noble escort, beating the escort and the noble man with the pattern of his sword. We didn't have time for this, it was early. [M]

Tie up the helpless man and escort with a rope and transport them inside the mansion.

"It is preferable to be calm and judgmental to the person who deposits our goods. I'm sorry, but you're disqualified."

"Wait."

Leticia raised her voice.

A girl in a vale saw her.

"What are you going to do with that person?

"I will persuade you and then return you to your original location"

The girl was under the vale and seemed to laugh.

"If you normally go home, it will take twenty days from here to the port town. It's hard to go home on your own."

"" "Heh" "

Me and Leticia, Katras snapped at the same time.

Leticia looks at me and nods. "May I take care of it" signal. I nod. Leticia doesn't like negotiating, so I'll take her place. [M]

"Lady Viscount... was it Leticia-Milfe?"

The girl pinched up the dress skirt and thanked her.

"It's an honor for you to remember. Mysterious."

Leticia scratched her head like she was in trouble.

"Please call me 'Vale'. I'm always welcome to ask sober questions."

"I'm not good at that. So please ask the surrogate."

"Hi."

I got up and lined up next to Leticia.

"This is a special place, where only the aristocrats are allowed to speak. Is he on par with the aristocracy?

The girl - Vale looked at me with a strange look on her neck.

"Right. This one..."

Leticia seemed to think a little bit, but like she was determined to do something, she grabbed her fist, and...

"This is my fiancée, whom I trust most!

"─ Hey. Leticia..."

"............... just for this occasion. This is the only time."

I know, but...

Leticia, it's turning bright red to the neck.

"I get it." Letia ""

"Ko, do you call me by that name here!?

No, 'cause they said you could call me. Leticia's nickname when she was little.

"... It's Leticia you said fiancée. Not to be suspected."

"... Wow, I get it. It's just here."

We talk face to face. [M]

"Well, I'll keep talking on my behalf..." Letia ""

".................. Ugh"

Leticia was turning bright red, but she looked at me and nodded.

Even I'm so embarrassed.

"... it doesn't look like your fiancée is lying"

Thanks to you, I think I fooled the Vale girl.

"If one enters a noble house, let him admit what he said on this occasion"

"Then ask"

I said.

This place is staged by the opponent. I don't know what kind of trap there is.

Let's just pretend we're in their hands and pull out the information.

"Me and Leticia were going to attend Lord Ilgafa's" Hiromi Party "to commemorate our engagement. It was an accident that was attacked by Gargoyle, against which my noble fiancée fought to protect the people"

The Vale girl, and I say aloud so that other nobles can hear me.

Next door, Leticia snaps, "You often pop out so quickly". I thought about setting it up.

Cutlass doesn't say, "Was it," either? You know what's going on, don't you?

"The arrowhead I was about to leave in the inn, he called me here."

"... here, here... Mr. Nagi."

"... not if it's illuminating."

"... mmm"

I thought you were turning bright red and swelling your cheeks. Best friend (Letia).

I turn to the Vale girl and tell her.

"Surely there will be danger. Nobles have a lot to lose. So I know you need the strength to protect it. but this kind of way wouldn't be weird, would it? If you have a business meeting, it's official to send a messenger. Isn't this the same as blackmail today?

"I apologize for making you suspicious"

"Then I want you to let us go"

"No."

The girl shook her head to the side.

"It's something we don't want the Demon King or his men to know, so we had to persevere with this kind of means. In particular, the port town of Ilgafa is the one who gives up the high-ranking demon called 'Sea Dragon Kerkattle' and so on. Isn't it natural to be on guard?

"So you transferred us far from the port town," he said?

"Yes."

"So you transferred us from the port town to a two-hour walk away," he said?

"Yeah............... yes, no, far away, anything?

You definitely nodded now.

That's a little unexpected. Mysterious girl.

"How could you do that?

"The air is warm and humid. This is the climate of southern harbour towns. The types of trees that grow around them are the same as the forests around Ilgafa. In the forest is the site of a village that existed before Ilgafa became the body of the present day. Just in time, just like that western hall."

This is information from Illis.

When I saw the screenshot I sent in "Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage)/Modification," Illis identified the scene against the map.

"Or really, if you say this is far from the other land, why don't you 'contract'? If you're lying, on the condition that you hand over all the items and skills you have here."

…………

Oh, shut up.

The mysterious girl is under the vale, with her lips clenched and trembling.

"Passed!!

"" "Yes?

"You have passed the trials we gave you. Suitable to give great power!

They're going to deceive me with force moves.

"The power to defeat demons, like our soldiers. It's for people with abilities like you."

Soldiers in black armor make a move.

Those were the ones who were quickly powerless to escort the nobles. The size of the body is about the size of a normal adult. I'm wearing black armor all over my body, and I can't see my face. It's similar to the 'Golden Soldiers' I saw in the town of Ilgafa, but it feels more disgusting this way.

The soldiers lined the girl's left and right with their swords and ropes captive to men.

"With this Black Dark Armor, my men have gained the power to sweep away even powerful demons. You also have the right to receive the same skills and items"

I see.

I have more or less figured out the information I get here.

This girl named 'Vale' does the job of 'empowering' the nobility. This black-armed soldier-- maybe that golden soldier, he's got that power.

And you mean, like the girl earlier - "Baron Lalambel's Lady," that kind of information is sneaking around among the nobles, and whenever the nobles introduce their friends, they get new powers?

"Master Leticia-Milfe, his fiancée"

Beyond the vale, the girl said.

"What do you want?

'A life you don't have to work to live' if you're going to answer instantly.

But that's not what you ask a guy like this to get. Do something on your own.

Leticia's...

"Peace to the people."

Leticia answered without a moment's stray.

"That people can live in peace within their comprehensible rules, with comprehensible power and without being spooked by anything else. That's what I want."

"Now let's give you the skills to make it happen"

The girl removed the skill crystal from the leather bag she placed on the ground.

"This is' Skills to Make Pain Forget '"

said the girl.

"This skill can make the target person forget 'the pain they are in'. Precisely a 'make you think pain is your responsibility' skill. I mean, whether you're attacked by demons or spooked by magic you don't understand, you can make them think it's all their fault"

It was a nauseating skill.

"What I understand most is' me ', isn't it? I can replace all my enemies with' what I can understand '. I don't think you have the best skills for your purpose."

"I refuse."

Leticia instantly shook her head to the side.

"Such skills are not my hobby. Besides, if you use that, your loved ones -- your best friends, your party buddies -- will hate you."

Leticia laughed as she looked at me and Katras.

"It's a negotiated breakdown. Mr. Nagi."

"Damn, don't be shy, Leticia is"

"Shouldn't I?

"No way. That's fine. And then we'll all figure it out."

Time since we got here, about twenty minutes. I would have liked to buy some more time (...).

I don't see the look on Vale's girl's face. All you can see is the mouth.

My teeth are burning. I'm sure you're angry.

When it comes to fighting, there are two kinds of responses. Run into the woods or jump into the western halls.

If the latter, he can surprisingly escape at his leisure.

However, I can't read the other person's power. If there is an unexpected weapon or item inside the Western Hall, it could be attacked from behind.

Jumping inside a western hall is a big danger, but... we can know the power of our enemies. Maybe they still do this to the nobles. This is the base for that. If possible, I want to know who their abilities are.

And Katras and Feen feel that 'sacred relics' exist in this place. It would be a hassle if they used it and called me somewhere again. Destroy it while you can... Or I want you to know.

Or is that good? "Metastatic Magic"

I can get away with it when I have to, and I think I can use it for business.

"You know, Leticia, Cutlass"

"What is it?" "Yes, or which"

"I was on a relaxing vacation, and I was forced to be called out into these nagging woods, so it's okay to get one of the items back to apologize, right?

"Isn't that okay?

Leticia held her mouth and laughed.

"It's safer for a lazy man like Nagi to have a worker who wants to get rid of him than to keep his power over outlaws."

"If I also have a 'metamagic artifact', then I think which one should have it. Let's not use it for bad things, shall we?

"One more question. One hour and 20 minutes to go. No, 40 minutes to go. Can we just buy some time?

The enemy is two soldiers, and a mysterious girl.

If there are soldiers inside the Western Hall, they could be in the war too.

Move in a direction that is not defeated by the enemy and does not allow the enemy to escape for forty minutes. Quite a mess.

"I can handle it." "It's worth a shot."

Copy that.

In the direction of escaping into the woods while Leticia's "Manor Gears" is in effect.

The story came together.

They're starting to move, too. Looks like he decided to take us into custody, just like the other man. Soldiers in black armor are slowly approaching us. The number is two. I have a long sword in my right hand, a circular twist in my left hand, and even a restraint rope. Just in time.

"I won't kill you. Rest assured."

said the girl with the vale on.

"I need to tell no one what happened here. 'Contract (contrast)' and then you'll go home."

"No, it's a valuable experience, so make sure it's a story."

"Too bad......"

The girl gets naggy.

Two soldiers wave up their swords. The aim... is me. Because I slapped a girl in the Vale. You can't help it, can you? Then pull out the Devil's Sword Leggy.

"Leggy, please. Activate Soft Water Swordsmanship LV1!

"Oh! About two long swords, I don't know what to do!!

Shiru!

"─ What!?

Leggy the Devil sword wrapped around the sword that the soldiers of black armor had waved down.

"Leticia!"

"I'll go. Yo! Activate" Rotating Shield Strike (Shield Scramble) "!"

Pokon.

Leticia's shield - borrowed from Katras - slapped the soldier's cheek.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I guess I couldn't resist because my sword was being diverted and I was out of shape. The body of a soldier beaten with a shield by Leticia begins to spin fast. As the Vale girl said, maybe the soldier's 'black armor' was some kind of magic item. Strong, probably, stiff. So when the owner spins and hits me, it hurts so bad.

One of the soldiers wearing it turned his arms like propellers and hit him, so the soldier next door was knocked down without question. It's a confrontation between magic armor and magic armor. A magic cage hand whirling around keeps tapping on the magic helmet (Kabu) and shaking the soldier's skull.

"No, it was nice around here."

"Is it a freshly irritated thing that takes so long?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Vale's girl is stunned.

Soldiers keep spinning in front of me. From that arm, the rope for restraint falls.

I pick it up, circle it appropriately, and then give it to Leticia. I need this to activate another skill I made with 'Forced Courtesy'. Just fine. Let's bring out the nature of that Vale girl here.

"Bu, impudent! I didn't expect you to work for my soldiers!

You returned it to me, the Vale girl screamed.

"Eat my magic." Of ice... ""

"This way first! Activate" Character Suppression (Elegant Downer) LV1 "!!

Before the opponent activated the magic, Leticia's throwing rope caught onto Vale's girl's body.

"Character Suppression (Elegant Downer) LV1" (R)

'Suppress' character 'skills in' Rope '

Skills that can pull off courtesy and pre-construction.

Activates the subject's body by catching it with a rope.

Those who are subject to this skill forget their courtesy, character, and pre-construction for a certain amount of time.

As a result, it is easier to bring out the truth. Highly effective against aristocracy, royalty, high-ranking merchants, etc.

"─ ─ ─ Ah, ah, ah. I 'm-- we 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm-- I 'm--"

Vale's girl's movements stopped.

He's shaking his dressed body as he puts his mouth open.

"Oh, my God. What are you doing to me?

"Let's get the questions answered"

"Uhhhhhhhhh good!!

I ask the Vale girl, who shouts her teeth out.

"Are you Princess Claudia herself? Or is that an associate of yours? Or" White Guild "?

"What do you know about Claudia!!

The girl pulled off the vale.

A white face appeared before us.

of a bloodless face with a mask on the top half of his face and a severe spasm (convulsion) in his mouth.

"'Unable to maintain personality. Princess, I can't describe your elegance. Problems with Personality Replication" - "Emergency Avoidance Magic" - "Ice's - Storm" Isicle Tempest "!!

The girl continued to speak unintelligible words - and activated magic.

"Mr. Nagi!" "Or which!!

Everybody, get down!

Immediately we lay low on the ground.

"Shilo! Please!!

'Ouch! "Shh, shh, shh" for you!!

Along with Shiloh's voice, a translucent 'barrier (shield)' occurs over our heads.

Shortly afterwards, a snowstorm blew through the area.

A storm rocks the trees and ice shards pour out of their heads. But the shield created by "Tenryu's Egg" cannot be broken.

For a few minutes, a bright white storm blocked our sight.

After it disappeared, the masked girl 'Vale' had disappeared completely.

Probably... beyond the door of a western hall left open.
