Episode 30: Stage Theatre Act IV: The Knight of the White Horse

"Oh... Gregorius, you're out"

Nia confirmed that Gregorius was leaving the separate residence.

Ride the carriage and head back to the main residence.

I've been watching you all morning, but only Gregorius and the soldiers in and out of that escort.

But the security of the mansion is strangely strict.

"I knew it was there..."

If not, there is no more way to rescue Cecilia.

Regardless, Elquille would never give up.

Perhaps if I can't help you out with this...

Kill Gregorius. But he should try to help.

(I don't care...)

Nia envied Cecilia just a little bit.

Because that's all Elquille cares about.

Regardless, Nia knows that Erkür cares about Cecilia for political reasons, and that Cecilia is in terrible shape right now.

But even without it, I was still jealous.

"... because you owe me a proper apology. You're the one who's sorry."

Nia shrugged.

Now stay put. Nia kept waiting for time to pass.

And when the sky started to light up a little...

Nia finally moves out.

Well...

Let's talk about her abilities as a Demon (Nightmare) here.

The literature states that the Demon Nation (Nightmare) was born with Demon Eyes.

And that was also available for the nearer.

but it took me a little while to figure out the details of that ability.

Just now, the Chelda and Lemuria navies clash… A few weeks ago, for the first time, we found out the end of our abilities.

That was when we gathered the scholars, starting with Hupatia, for a physical examination of Nia.

Turns out Nia sees a thing.

That's...

It is vector and magic.

More precisely, the right eye was visualizing the vector, and the left eye was visualizing the magic.

To say why I didn't know before, it was a visible and natural thing for Nia.

Physical traits such as horns and tails awakened when I was eleven, but the Devil's Eye itself was born with it.

Born with five senses, the one with five bodies...

It is difficult to assume that there are any deficiencies in the five senses or the five bodies.

As well as that, for a girl named Nia, she never assumed that vectors and magic were innate and invisible.

Also, since the concept of a vector does not exist in this world, it was nearly impossible for Nia to recognize that the object that her right eye reflected was a "vector", that is, an "amount with a size and direction in space", and that she had never seen magic until it was picked up by Elquille, regardless of the use of magic, it was also difficult to recognize the object that her left eye reflected as a "magic".

Well, that's why Nia can visualize "vectors" and "magic".

I just want you to keep in mind that "visualization" is just an expression analogy to vision, which is actually something close to the sixth sense, the seventh sense, which is different from vision.

It is impossible to explain how "light and darkness" can be "seen" to a completely blind human being at birth.

It is impossible to explain to us how Nia feels "vector" and "magic" as well.

Now… let's explain what the advantages are of being able to feel "vectors" and "magic".

For example, there is the phrase "remember with your body".

This is because in martial arts and sports, there is an unexplainable part in language.

There are limits to just seeing and hearing.

But Nia's not.

There is no need to "remember with her body" because she can see "an amount of space with its size and direction".

Similar to cooking in an easy way...

When we cook, we have to determine the ingredients in terms of "eye mass," whereas the near can be determined using very precise amounts and measuring spoon cups.

While the former may fail at the beginning, the latter may not fail (at least in flavoring).

This is the factor that made Nia good enough to have an abnormal memory of dancing and martial arts.

Once she sees it, she can completely 'understand' the energy movement.

The next advantage of being able to feel "magic" is that you can mimic "magic".

There are three types of magic: 'intrinsic magic', 'lineage magic', and 'inheritance magic'.

It is common to all this, in that those who do not have 'magic' cannot use 'magic', and those who have 'magic' cannot teach those who do not have 'magic' how to use it.

Magic is like a switch on an appliance, and whoever has the switch can easily activate it, but whatever it doesn't can't.

Because the person with the switch has little understanding of how that switch works, the switch cannot be transferred to another person, nor can it be made.

But Nia can see "magic".

I mean... I know the structure of the switch somewhat.

Regardless, the magic used by the demons who said Asmodeus or Citrie is too advanced to be imitated by Nia.

And because lineage magic has limitations that lineage can be used, and inheritance magic has limitations that only those inherited it can be used in the world.

But that kind of unrestricted intrinsic magic… for example, Erkühl's "Fear," Carolina's "Divine Speed," Shehrazard's "Golden Rigidity," etc. can be imitated almost entirely.

Well, I mean, it's longer...

Without spirituality, it is no exaggeration to say that Nia is the most powerful being in the Lemurian Empire as it stands.

"" Golden Rigidity II "," Divine Speed II "..."

Nia lays the unique magic of multiple physical enhancements on herself.

And...

I unleashed my sword and ran out all at once.

"Ki, are you..."

"Hey, who are you?

"And intrude..."

Nia amputated their necks with a sword while the guard soldiers were being distracted.

Three necks slowly fall to the ground.

Nia, who killed the guard soldier, slowly broke into the mansion.

Now Cecilia...

"Huh, huh............ agoo!

He kept making small groans with his ragged cut face.

Cecilia basically stays hung except when she is tortured and the meal she gives slightly, when she excretes.

If you lose your strength from your body trying to sleep...

My body falls down and my shackles eat into my hands.

He then hangs his weight on his nail tip and is forced to awaken his consciousness with intense pain.

But humans, you can't stay awake.

Cecilia has always been...

It was coming and going between awakening and sleep.

Still, what I was able to bear was that so far torture had not moved to full-scale stuff to the extent that it had been stripped of its nails or somewhat beaten or kicked and...

Because I believed that someone would come and help me.

But that hope was crushed a few hours ago.

The strong light in those eyes had already been lost and now weak... was about to disappear.

Still, Cecilia endured.

Supporting Cecilia today stemmed from a strong faith and a sense of responsibility as a princess witch (Medium) who succeeded the millennia.

We must not let Gregorius rule the Mesian Church.

You can't die here right now.

Cecilia just stood by that one heart.

Well, how much time would have flown.

Suddenly I began to hear small noises from above.

Interacting with the sound of things, I can also hear something like someone screaming.

……

Cecilia had heard the blur and its sound.

Nothing makes any particular sense.

Because it was just right to divert consciousness from the pain.

There are only torture devices and red and black stains in this basement that fuel fear.

The occasional footsteps and sounds are a little distraction.

After a while, the noise stops.

At the same time I hear the trick and someone going down the stairs.

That gets a little bigger.

(... is it day twenty already?

I was stripped of my last thumbnail...

Then he says he goes into full-scale torture.

Cecilia also learns properly about the darkness of the Church as a successor to the status of princess witch (Medium).

He was also well aware of what kind of torture equipment would be used in heretical interrogations.

And I also know that there are things in torture equipment that... trample on the dignity of women.

Cecilia ate her teeth.

No matter what they do...

I will never confess.

And...

Footsteps stop.

At the same time, the sound of twisting the door knob echoes in the basement.

Cecilia said aloud to the person who appeared.

"I will never give in!!!

"... Advertisement, how are you?

The person who appeared...... smiled a little smelly.

Cecilia also rounded her eyes on the emergence of that unexpected figure.

"Uh... Ni, Nia...?

"... Long time no see"

The two of them were reunited for three years.
