Xviii

"By the way, does your Lord still use 'Thunderscaled Tiger' as his main use?

It pops up too one after the other, Mira, unable to stand the stupidity about herself in the past. To change the story somehow, Cleos mouths the name of the most powerful subpoena he ever made him master.

"Did you also ask Master Dumbleff about the Thunderscaled Tiger?

"Uh... um, yeah!

At this time, Mira decided that she had already asked her master everything.

"No, you're a little embarrassed. So you've been talking so much about me."

"Well, well, well. I've heard a lot about you."

Saying, Cleos smiles happily. Though it continued to zero stupidity, it would otherwise come from a feeling of respect and respect for Dumblrf. Cleos was heartily pleased that such a wise man had told his disciples so much about himself.

"You're right, my main thing is thunderscaled tigers. But he's much stronger than he knew."

"Well, that's dependable."

Thunder Scale Tiger is a subpoena in places like above. If it were stronger than Mira remembers, it would be quite a dependable force.

"It was really hard to sign with Thunder Scale Tiger. But Master Dumbleffe did."

When Cleos started so well, now a wise man named Dumblrf spoke fervently about how great he was. It was true that I took him around simply because it was convenient, but Mira would do her best because she would gavel at her own assessment of the Creotian subjectivity, such as "then for me" or "so she taught me", without changing her expression.

That's how I was trained, and now I'm running the tower on Lord Dumbleffe's behalf.

Cleos concludes the long story with a satisfying nod with a finished look. If you try Mira, there have also been occasions where I miss that happening, but it was generally Dumblrf hero Tan from Cleos.

After hearing it, in her last words, Mira remembered something that bothered her when she entered the Tower of Summoning.

"Speaking of which, I stopped at the tower along the way, but the summoning tower was somewhat idle compared to the magic tower. Is something wrong?

"Ugh... you're poking me where it hurts. You're right, there are very few summoners right now."

"Mmm, is that still the case"

Time also came at night, so I thought it might be possible, but from what Cleos said, I can still hear that the Summoning Tower seems to be understaffed. Mira remembers the old situation when she drops her gaze to depression and begins to think that something must be done.

"Mira, if you're a Dumbleffe apprentice, maybe your first contract is the same way."

First way to contract. By the time I was in Dumblrf, I had brought in a bomb of my own. But Mira knows that the way Cleos says it is different again. Because that's the way I recommended it and suggested myself to cooperate backwards as Elder of the Summoning Tower.

"Hmm, not with refining gear and magic seal blasting stones."

"That's right. After Mr. Dumbleffe disappeared, I had no problems contracting for a while, but first I ran out of demon sealed explosive stones, and then my refining gear broke down... Even the refinery engineers in the castle can't perform as well as Dumbleffe made them, so gradually the people who couldn't contract came out."

"Uh... um, I see."

Mira's proposed method was the same but more efficient way to do it by medication and bomb.

The difficulty of the first contract was truly the difference between cloud mud by bottoming up endurance endurance with refining equipment instead of drug pickling and using demon-sealed blasting stones with attributes that fit the opponent's weakness instead of bombs. And the efficiency was backed up by Dumblrf, so he was gone and couldn't continue.

There are only a few people who can use refining technology, but high prices due to time and effort are inevitable and performance declines, so many of the newcomer summoners failed without defeating them.

And no mentor and absolute charisma. As a result, the Tower of Summoning became idle.

"All right, for now!

Mira raised her face, opened the item field and took out the demon seal blasting stone in her hand. Gather the stones that fall apart and roll on the floor and offer them to Cleos.

"Now if there are about twenty of us, we will be able to beat the enemy"

"Ko...... this is a magic seal blast stone!? And I can't believe you're releasing something so powerful, equal to what you were thirty years ago... no more. Can I have this?

"Well, I can't do this right now."

"But didn't Mr. Dumbleff make you hold this for Mira's protection?

(I see. Is that what you think?)

The Magic Seal Blast Stone is a powerful object that can also be a trump card for times of need. Creos, who thought he had let his apprentice hold it for those reasons, swallows and confirms his desire so much that his hand can come out of his throat.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Because I have a master's concession of dark knights. Besides, if we had a master here now, we wouldn't have let the tower go."

"Sure. What about Mr. Dumbleffe, who's addicted to summoning, doesn't make the status quo better?"

When Cleos shrugged so, he offered his hands and received a demon seal blast stone from Mira.

"Thank you. Thank you, Mira. I'll tell the newcomers who've given up their subpoenas soon."

Looking young and neat, Cleos gives a full grin.

Cleos himself was still dissatisfied with the tower as it stood and had taken various means. Ultimately, a few successful people had many problems with what they were able to put out, which was not so much a means of lacking decisiveness.

As a result, the young men, hopeful as summoners, leave the tower shattered in dreams. For Cleos, who kept dropping off such a hindsight, this demon-sealed blast stone was more valuable than a hundred carats of diamond.

"Um, do that. Oh, and this, too."

Mira, who felt that she had worked so hard to manage the tower while Creos was away, decided to give her something else.

When I removed the necklace from my fingers and from my neck, I also put it together and handed it to Cleos.

"Ko... this"

"Each is a specially made ornament that enhances your health and strength. If you're a junior opponent, you can't lose your strength."

"Is this such a precious thing okay?

"Of course not. If I want to protect my master, I feel the same way again. Instead, I've got you covered, Cleos."

"Even if you hang in the name of a proxy, I'll try to make the tower prosper!

Cleos exalted, but nodded loudly as he stared into Mira's eyes with powerful light.

"Then, the second phase of the experiment shall be conducted at the same time in five days"

When Solomon wraps up the meeting like that, the nobles and Elder deputies gratefully leave the development room behind.

"Looks like it's over. Thank you so much, Mira, then. I need to get back to you. I'm gonna be busy."

"Um, be careful. You're not going home."

Cleos gratefully leaves the development room early after everyone else. The footsteps looked light and lively, the other deputies surprised but gently dropped off their hindsight.

The other deputies knew Cleos was worried about the tower, but they couldn't do anything to help because of their own tower management. Until now, I have often seen Cleos depressed, but it has been a long time since I was in such a good mood.

The reason for their superior mood was, of course, that they saw light in the rebuilding of the Summoning Tower, but the other deputies were mistaken for thinking that the troubled Cleos would have charged their power by talking to Mira.

"Well, then let's say it's dinner"

"I wonder what tonight is."

To the words of Solomon and Luminaria, Mira wondered how luxurious the king of a nation was eating.

"Wow. May I join you?

I just look back on my face.

"Naturally, I'm going to. There's still something I want to talk to you about."

"You can count on Mira, too. 'Cause it's a treat I've never seen before."

"Ho ho. I'm looking forward to that."

Mira brightens her expression even more with the words of Luminaria, with a robot that has been deformed from time to time.

Then Luminaria realizes that the crouched Mira is a mess. And as I slowly approached him, I peered into his hand as I could.

"What's that?"

With a strangely shaped mass in his eyes, Luminaria looks next to Mira from behind her when she returns to the vegan for a moment, staring at the object in her hand.

"As you can see, it's a merged robot! We're almost done. Just a minute."

Mira smiles like a child, not so much as she already looks like a child, but she deforms the robot for fun like a boy she's obsessed with.

"Oh, what is it?"

Thoma, the chief developer who was concerned about what happened to sitting Mira and Luminaria, sees an object that is the reason when she approaches them.

"Oh, isn't it 'Super Merge Road Vulcan'? Where was it?

"I rolled it in the back of the shelf there."

That said, Mira points to the top of the front shelf.

"Was it here? I thought I'd lost this."

Thoma looks nostalgic and looks at the messy object in Mira's hands.

"Oh, so this belongs to the Lord."

"Yeah, it's not my stuff, it's my stuff."

"Oh, did I? Lord, you have a good hobby inside."

"No, should I have a higher taste? But I made it clear that in the end, it was a failure, and it couldn't be merged because of a design error."

"What... then...?

With the look of incredibility in his last words, Mira stares back at Thoma's face, smiling to delude the lighting.

"Uh... I made a slight mistake in width when incorporating the merging mechanism. I had to break it down once, so I left it to do it one day and it was gone."

Thoma slowly lowers herself when she answers to Mouth Mira, who looks so shaped that she doesn't think she's ever been a poor girl.

"What the heck!!

The scream rang outside the development room, he said.

Thomas, who managed to forgive Mira by promising to give it to her once she rebuilt it, caresses her chest down and receives the super merged Road Vulcan.

Rising to say she wasted no time at all, Mira frowns for a moment at that feeling of visiting unexpectedly. Yes, it's the usual physiological phenomenon.

Mira looked back and tried to put a word in her mouth to ask where it was, but it stopped at a moment.

I'm quick to ask because I don't know the location of the basement of a castle I don't know. But Solomon and Luminaria in sight would surely make that look suspiciously shiny when they heard what Mira had tried to say. That's the two of them.

Nevertheless, we can also assume the worst if we are looking for a place where we do not know where it is. So, Mira put her face softly close to Thomas' ear, who was on her side,

"Where's the bathroom?

I asked him to whisper so. But Mira misjudged the candidate. Thomas points to the door when he hears the words.

"Yeah, right. First you get out of here, then you go straight to the right, and then you go left, and you'll find it."

Thomas without delicacy, who teaches the location of the toilet while making a big gesture. Of course Solomon and Luminaria know where the bathroom is here. I mean, we'll soon find out what Mira heard in Thomas' words.

Mira popped out of the development room to shake it off, exposed to the gaze of two people who could be directed as a matter of course.

Mira, who arrived in front of the bathroom where she was taught at full speed, stops moving there. In those eyes are two entrances. That is, the two letters' woman 'and' man 'are holding back the hand that goes like a barrier.

There was some confusion, but in no way did Mira move forward to enter for the woman. I haven't noticed the slight appearance.

But suddenly a woman in white emerges from the entrance she was headed for. At that moment, because of the guilt inside, Mira made an impossible change of direction and crashed into the wall.

"Wah! Hey, you okay? That's Mira! Mira, Master Dumbleff's apprentice, right?!?

The woman in white quickly realizes who the girl is as she hugs her fluttering Mira. Impressive ribbon all over costume and clear long silver hair. There's no way I can forget the face of a girl who looks petty and cute like a doll.

"Toilet, I guess. Can you do it alone? I can help you, okay?

A woman in white who talks to Mira with such a cute, unpleasant look. But that attitude is like taking care of my favorite sister no matter how I look at it.

"No problem. I can do this alone."

Mira jumped into the ladies' restroom as she escaped from the woman's arms.

"I'm in..."

In a different space than before, where only private rooms are lined up, there are mixed words with emotions that I don't really understand. Then, the door of the private room is opened, pushed backwards by the feeling of the lower abdomen, which gradually grows bigger when it is impossible to go backwards.

I did it for you, Mira smiling in front of the flush. Now I snort and wash my hands in my heart again and again that I've grown another. Then I look around to see if I have anything to wipe, and I see the girl just in the mirror in the front.

Mira stares at the figure as she devours the

"Me, cute"

and groaned. The first time I saw myself in Mira was with mirror-like armor from the Magic Knights. And next, windows stained with darkness at night. However, the large mirror, designed to reflect the figure, more clearly reproduces Mira's charm and attracts the pity to herself.

In the end, I couldn't find a towel or anything, so when I wiped my hand with the hem of the robe, I peered into the mirror and somehow touched my face with my hand.

Crawl your fingertips to convey your cheeks and gently stroke your glossy silver hair from your lips to your neck muscles when you leave.

"Welcome to this side of the world. You're welcome."

Mira, who was entering her world like she was in love, stretched out her spine frighteningly and turned to the voice of a woman with inclusions.

There was a look at Luminaria distorting her smile when she said she had taken a ghost's neck.

"From where, I watched"

"Me, cute"

At that moment, as Mira progresses in [Sendo Walking: shrinkage], Luminaria sways like a phantom to widen her distance.

"Mm, what is that? I've never seen anything like it."

To the luminaria that suddenly seemed to disappear, Mira is intrigued by its unfamiliar movements. Because none of those effects existed in the knowledgeable skill.

"It's not just magic engineering that evolved while you were gone. Thirty years. Even the battle system means progress every day."

Luminaria, with the phantom, repeatedly exits and disappears. With that in mind, Mira had completely forgotten her shame until just now, and her interest in that new skill had filled her head.

"Was this about eight years ago? Evasive skills [Mirage Step] created around that time. The effect is, as you can see."

Luminaria that, with that said, leaves a phantom and repeats the metastasis.

"Did the mastery condition first have MP and light and water protection?"

"Oh! Then I'll soon learn it. Tell me!

Mila, who learns from the story that she meets the conditions, presses Luminaria to eat.

"Uh, I don't know what to do. I don't teach you the fruits of a long history for free."

A reluctant luminaria. He, no, she knows. Mira's obsession with skill has been remarkable since then.

"Mmm, that's fine. You know Solomon."

Saying so, from behind Mira passing by the side of Luminaria, a voice hangs.

"What do you think this is?

Looking back to that voice, Luminaria takes one book out of the item section. The cover said "Skills All 2146 Years Edition".

"also... what if"

Mastery is a large bestseller that uses publishing skills to bring a wide variety of skills that have expanded countlessly into a single book. Of course, Mira, a skilled maniac, has it, but it's the Skilled All 2116 Edition, an outdated book in this world thirty years ago.

Mira's gaze naturally nails the book. Various skills were discovered and developed four years after the service began. That's about four years, and if that's thirty years, there's something immeasurable about the wisdom in Luminaria's book.

"Now that you have fewer publishing skills, this is a precious book you can't get no matter how much money you pile up. What if I told you I'd do this?

"... what do you want?"

That's what Mira asked to go straight in. If you try Luminaria, it's about the instructions I've already read, but I know how appealing the book is to Mira. You bring it up and call it off, so there's no way you can give it to me for free. That is obvious even in the earlier, unwieldy language.

"Don't talk fast and help. Nah, it's not that hard for you to talk about. Solomon told me. We're going to find them. I just want you to get two items after that."

"Hmm. And what do you want?

"One is the sword of King Red Lotus. So, the other is charcoal from the world tree."

"Hmm. Pretty rare. But, well, there's nothing I can't get. But that would be the same thing as your Lord. Why are you asking me to do this?

"As you know, I can't move out of this country right now. There's also the development of accord cannons, but we have to avoid doing things that can badly cross borders and stimulate other countries. I'm a celebrity."

Saying, Luminaria laughs invincibly as she hoists her mouth end against its rich breasts.

"I see. Since that time, it's been real there. This is a real situation. Sure, if that's the case, I'm easier to move."

"No, that's why I asked. Then this is yours."

"Well, that's good. But the sword is where the Lord has it, and it's faster and stronger to use magic. What do you use charcoal for, too? That was supposed to be alchemy. Didn't I tell you it wasn't right for you to be deceitful?

"Well, I don't normally use either. Just a catalyst."

Luminaria is a magician. And it's top notch. No matter how rare, the Red Lotus King's sword is held by a senior swordsman, who demonstrates its true value. It's not usable by magicians, and if you simply attack with flame attributes, it's overwhelmingly more efficient to use around [Magic: Double]. And Luminaria, who did not like fine work, was not even oriented towards alchemy, so I don't see why he needs the charcoal of the world tree, which becomes the material of the secret stone of purification.

"Catalyst... Is that the catalyst for magic mastery?

"Correct. I've never seen a pentagram before. The analysis showed that two of them were needed for the catalyst."

"Thirty years is amazing that there's even a new technique. But now, you said analysis. What the hell is that? Speaking of witchcraft catalysts, you should have baked them depending on the allowance, but when you do that, you know the catalyst?

"Yes, [surgical analysis] developed from the appraisal is a new skill. Of course it's in this book."

That said, Luminaria leans in front of Mira with the book in her hand. At that moment Mira's hand, stretched out at an unnoticed speed, grabs the phantom.

"Nooo."

"You as you were thirty years ago. Then what are you doing out of me thirty years early? Come on, what do we do? If you find me, I'll do this to you, okay?

"Let's take it on"

Looking back at the luminaria that circled behind her in the Mirage step, Mira answers with her eyes wide shining.

But there's only one condition.

"Mm-hmm. Travel expenses and all the tools you need? Solomon will be ready around here."

"No, one first. Tell me about that phantom."

Mira looks up at Luminaria with a full look of anticipation. Experienced luminaries are also a little dodgy with this.

"You're using it inside. Well, that's good. I'll tell you instead of the advance."

That's how the tentative maidens' study group began in the women's bathroom.
