Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Episode 4-3 Preparing for Rescue

Meadows outside the elves.

Me and Alice stood opposite each other to perform the covenant ritual. - Correction. There's a height difference, so before me standing, Alice is kneeling.

"Then take my hand, Lion."

"Like this?

Hold Alice's hand with each hand, left and right. Once, the demon squares of light spread around us, and heat poured in from Alice's supple fingers.

"Is this...?

"I'm connecting a pass between me and Lion. The senses are shared temporarily, but don't be surprised."

As soon as Alice says that, more and more heat is pouring into me. And only then does the feeling of Alice holding hands begin to get around to the feeling of Alice holding hands.

It feels as if your body has gained another. The amount of information that reaches the brain is doubly inflated, and severe pain runs in the brain - but it's also for a moment.

Immediately those senses faded.

"Lion, are you okay?

"Hey, somehow...... now, is the ritual over?

"Yeah, I made it right. Because now Lion and I are tied together in an engagement."

"Yes, what?

I stare into the palm of my hand when I'm told. I did feel like I was sharing my senses earlier, but now I can't feel it.

"The power of grace can be used on-off. Otherwise, if you share your senses all the time, you'll be in big trouble."

Yeah, that's right. If I taste that feeling all the time, my brain is going to burn out.

"I mean, I don't seem to be able to afford to practice magic in that situation,"

"That's okay. Benefits are mostly good at adjusting abilities."

"Does that mean you can adjust the level of sharing your senses?

"Yeah. So it's possible to just communicate any sensation."

That's what Alice said, followed her own cheek. At that moment, I fall into the illusion that my cheeks are attached.

"Ooh... you're just sharing tactile?

"Ugh, it's more limited. You're not telling me what it feels like to be poking you with your finger, are you?

"Ah, put it that way..."

I had the feeling of being cheeked on, but I had no feeling of being cheeked on. I see, is this sensory sharing? That sounds like quite an interesting boon.

"By the way, it's unilateral sensory sharing now, but it's also possible to share it in two directions. And this is what sensory sharing is all about -"

Alice wields her right arm gently. Shortly afterwards, my forehead rocked in a breeze.

At the same time, Alice captures surrounding magic elements (mana) and converts them into magic. Magic was given to the Spirit with the image of the breeze dancing.

All that information flows into me in real time.

"Is that... magic?

"Spiritual magic, to be exact. Ask the Spirit for a favor with the converted magic material. The important thing is to create magic that makes the Spirit want to hear what he has to say and magic a clear image that makes it easier for the Spirit to execute."

"Hmm. Can I give it a try?

"Of course."

With my permission, I convert the Magic Element (Mana) into Magic. I haven't had much of a problem up to this point because it's the part where I spent a few years practicing even.

Next time I can magic the image of the breeze.... breeze? No, you just have to recreate what Alice felt like earlier, without thinking deeply.

I try to imagine it that way, but it doesn't seem to work.

"Mm, that's hard, this"

"It's an unknown feeling for normal people."

"Right..."

I said earlier that I could put the image of the breeze into magic, but what it conveys is only a feeling. Alice's thoughts were not conveyed as an image.

It's hard to explain... but Alice didn't put words and footage into magic. If you say so, put your emotions on the singing voice and tell them the image of the song or something like that.

But I know what it's like to put emotions on your voice, but it's an unknown feeling, so I can't reproduce it well, I want to see it.

Well, finally, I don't know what it feels like.

"It's hard until you get used to it.... Mm-hmm. Should I try using a template at first?

"Template?"

"Yeah. When you learn the order with dancing or something, you remember it according to the music or the song, right? Just like that one, it enhances the image by associating it with the spell and remembering it."

Alice turns her right arm toward the fallen tree and creates magic.

"Spirit of the Wind, cleave your enemies - air slash"

A simple image of cleaving enemies with sharp winds is conveyed in sensory sharing. At the same time, a glimmer of wind emanating from Alice's palm shallowed the fallen tree.

"- Well, here's the thing."

"Is that a spell - or did you amplify the image with a line?

"Yeah. The instructions are going to be really simple, and it's not going to be easy to apply, but it might be easier to use the template at first."

"I see. I feel like I could do it right now."

That's how my magic training began.

By the way, common witchcraft and spiritual witchcraft are templates - it's normal to use longer spells as well, and it's only a matter of time before I realize that Alice's spiritual witchcraft is out of standard.

Then a week. We were still in the elves.

Of course, Claire, I didn't give up on your rescue. Alice, my mom was distracting me and releasing an elf spy on Spiel's territory, so I was waiting for it to return.

And today, the spies are finally back.

- That's the situation with the Spiels.

"Thank you. We'll discuss what we're going to do, so you need to rest."

Alice, the spy who got the words of labor from Mom is leaving. Me and Alice who saw it through, and Alice, mom sighs thoughtfully.

Because the intelligence brought by the spy made me understand without refusal that it was a troublesome situation.

The report says it is a well-known fact that the Granchez family was raided, and it is a story that the Spiels supported the Granchez family and protected Claridil.

That's understandable... the problem is what the Spiels have published with it.

According to the Spiel family announcement, it was the extremists with grudges against the nobility who attacked the Granchez family, and Claridil is still being targeted. So the next full moon night, we're officially announcing that we're going to hide Clairedile somewhere safe.

But.

It was the officials of the Spiel family who attacked the Granchez family, and if you're really going to keep them safe, you can't possibly specify the date and time of departure.

Finally, it's a message that if you want Claire Hey back, come by the next full moon night, and it's a threatening complaint that I won't guarantee Claire Hey's safety if you don't come.

For that reason, it's out of the question to go see him from the front.

Claire, if they hold you hostage, I'll just have to be the other guy's. So, inevitably, we're going to decide how to rescue them... but it's not hard to imagine them waiting for us.

"That's troublesome..."

Whether it's a trap or whatever, Claire, there's no way to abandon hey. But sticking it where I know I'm waiting... would be nothing but trouble.

"Lyon, you're practicing magic, right?

"Alice tells me... it's hard."

Began practicing witchcraft for a week. It had not yet been activated.

Of course, I know you can handle it if you take the time, but the next full moon night is eight days from now. It'll take about a week from here, so if we don't leave right now, we won't make it.

"If I can't use magic, do you think Alice alone can handle it?

"Ugh... Lion knows the structure of the mansion, right?

"Well, get rough"

I've only visited you twice, but Sophia's room in the office. Plus, he has a face in the reception room and in the kitchen, so I kind of know what kind of compartment there is around.

I dug up my memories and explained the structure of the mansion to Alice.

"Mm-hmm. Depending on the security situation, it's easier to break in than the Granchez family."

"... Really?

"Yeah. There's a lot of small rooms, bends, parts that go blind, right? Walk into the dark clouds and you'll have more sudden encounters, but because I have the benefit of sign perception"

"I see... only to Alice, it's easier to have more blind spots"

"Yeah. But I can't say that's ever going to be okay either. I think the more you look around, the more you risk finding it than you know where Claire is."

"What if they find us?

"You'll only have to force a breakthrough. But I have very little experience in action either, so maybe I can't handle it alone."

"Oh..."

I thought maybe with the benefit of Alice's sign perception and spiritual witchcraft, it just wouldn't work out so well.

"Then I knew I had to learn magic. Can we figure this out in the week before we get to Spiel territory?

"That's right...... that's a subtle place to be at the moment"

"Uhm. When that happens, should we consider alternatives…"

All I can think about is... Claire, I think I'm gonna cry on your fiancée. I can anticipate all kinds of troubled developments, but at least I should be able to only guarantee my life.

"Hey, isn't your mother cooperating?

"... I'd like to help you personally. If the people of the elves attack a human mansion, it will be important."

"Mmmm..."

Alice swells her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Alice. I'm sorry, too, Lion."

"No, I understand the circumstances. Isn't it hard just to release a spy?

As an elf, I am completely human resources. If you put your shoulder in because your daughter is involved, you can't help but be told it's an abuse of authority. Alice, I don't know how much power your mom has, but I don't think you can be forgiven for anything you do.

"It's for my lovely daughter and her loved ones. At least this much."

"... excuse me"

"You don't have to apologize. Because it's the path my daughter chose. I hope you accept my daughter's feelings."

If I were normal, I can't help being scolded for putting my daughter in danger. Yet I can't believe you're telling me this - I think they're telling me to take responsibility for it in the future.

I looked sideways at Alice's mom wondering if it was her fault, and she smiled.

"... Lion? What's wrong with you?

"Hey, nothing. Let's figure out how we can help Claire."

"Right. First of all, it's a matter of saving Claire."

That's how we planned to help Claire.
