Reincarnation Monarch
Episode One Hundred and Fifteen: What Can't Be
"Still, there's a lot of inflation going on."
Gaius looked away and groaned so.
"What are you talking about?
Carla asked a lot.
"No, because Carla is a legendary archdeacon in the world, isn't she? But when there's Prometheus, his master, who's no match for Carla, and Iolos, the reincarnator who treats Prometheus as a child... this is totally inflationary."
"Wait a minute. Whatever Iolos is, why is Prometheus above me?
"What!? Because... there is. Signus said so. That fake book can't be made for Carla or for herself, because only Prometheus can make that one."
"So that's what I'm talking about! Sure, it's about Prometheus being able to make such fake books. Hey. That's just a story about him being good at that kind of thing, and it's another story than the one about strong weakness!
"So Karla is stronger than her master, Prometheus?
"I don't know. You don't know that unless you try. But that's not gonna happen forever."
"... what do you mean?
"Oh, didn't you tell me? Prometheus was dead a long time ago."
"Really!?
"Oh, that's why I was surprised when I found the fake book. I should have disposed of it all when he died, so it stayed. If he's still alive, isn't it surprising how many are there?
"Oh, sure... you mean... so that fake book was hidden by Signus?
Though Carla was questioned by Gaius, she didn't try to answer just by nagging and thinking deeply.
"Um, come on, I mean, I was supposed to dispose of it all, but at the time, why did you think that was all? Didn't you think of any other possibilities left?
"Fake books contain the magic of the surgeon."
"Magic?
"Oh, so even a wizard without power can easily summon the devil."
"Well, was that the kind of karakuri who meant to summon the junior demon to summon the intermediate demon Zangi"
"Oh yeah. It uses a special demon squares to suck magic into false books, but only thirteen copies can be placed in the demon squares at that time. So if there is, there are only thirteen times..."
"... but?
"It takes a lot of magic to make it once. Years to recover, in some cases decades. So no matter how good Prometheus is at making something like that, I don't think he did it again and again."
"I mean, there should only be thirteen books for one time... and I should have disposed of those thirteen books... so..."
"... oh"
"But there were still fake books. What do you think you can think of?
Carla thought deeply, silently again.
Then he opened his mouth like Gaius cut the numbness.
"Um come on...... doesn't that actually mean Prometheus is alive?
