Episode 20 Transparent Magic and Automatic Dolls

Testarossa kept firing guns on Fem's orders without rest, and Soji couldn't get anywhere near them. In such a situation,

"Hey, can you hear me, Saudi Alcasa!

Fem's voice echoes through the church.

"Why do you think I looked at you?

You can't know that.

"Where do you think I found you?

I'm not interested.

"I'll tell you!

I didn't ask for it, but I started talking.

"Atashi was in Kuhenbar two years ago."

Sausage in your heart. [Couchember]?) and backfired.

"It's a pretty big city, but there's been an incident. Remember that? After all, you led us to a solution!

I remember in her words. Indeed, two years ago, a strange incident broke out in the southern continent city of [Couchember].

It was built and transported in the nearby Holy Land of Lavach, and the Automata began to run wild in [Couchenbar].

"The automatic doll (Automata) was made by an amateur who didn't even have a license. The doll needs extremely skilled work to do magic tricks. If we do that halfway, the magic circuit will run wild and the doll will be out of control."

The unlicensed person sneaked his own doll into the van to gain honor, and looked at the timing to reveal that he was actually the owner of the doll.

He wanted to prove that he could make a fine doll without a license, but in the end, his immaturity was just a disaster.

"There were three dolls that the man had infiltrated. Atashi was tasked with retrieving the doll immediately from the country where he got the information. But it was too late, and the runaway doll had already gone wild all over the city. And there I found a man surrounded by those three."

Soji shrugged his shoulders as he remembered what he saw. Yes, at that time, he said that he wanted to try the fruit that Yoyo only sold in the southern continent, so it was almost Yoyo's birthday, so Soji was on his way to [Holy Nation of Lavach], where the fruit was alone.

When I stopped at [Couchember], which is the street, I encountered the incident. To be perfectly clear, there were three awkward dolls out there.

The child was about to be hurt, so I accidentally kicked him off, but apparently he was hostile at once to his actions.

"No matter how ugly the dolls were, they were always built as weapons-type (killing type), and the power of the runaway was quite troublesome. Even though it's troublesome, there are three of them. Besides, you were surrounded by no weapons or anything. I had no choice but to help... I was really surprised."

…………

"Suddenly, the white flame that appeared from your right hand instantly erased the three dolls."

Yes, I remember killing him instantly in a hurry.

"At that time, you were wearing a robe, but after you knocked down the three of them, the hood covering your head came off and I saw your face."

I see, that's when they saw my face. I was careful, but it was totally sawdust.

"I've seen more of your flame than your face. White flames I've never seen before. It was so beautiful."

A fem that buzzes your cheeks like a trance.

"So I wanted to see it again, and I followed you. But when I saw you running so fast that I couldn't catch up with you, I was interested in you too, even though it was a flame. I've been desperate to find out what kind of man he is."

When Fem raises one hand, Testarossa stops shooting.

"And I finally found it. I didn't expect you to be this east. No, more importantly, I didn't know why a powerful man like you was a butler."

Soji stood up from the chair where he was lurking.

"Your strength is not good enough for a butler! Its strength is worth it when you use it! That's why I want to let you go."

Turning his mad eyes, Saudi sighed.

"Oh my God, you seem to be making a mistake."

……

"You think I'm being harassed by the butler, but that's not it. I'm the butler of my own accord."

"Fufufu, don't joke. With that kind of power, you should be able to point up your eyes. Because the world is where the strong can take power."

"Power?... I don't need anything else."

"Ha!?... what are you talking about?

Fem is incredible.

"You may not understand, but I'm happy right now, so please don't bother me."

"... it's a lie."

"I'm not lying."

"Lie! With as much power as you, you'll be able to kick the woman down here in no time! And yet, you serve the weak and clean the house every day! There are people who think it's satisfying!

"I'm right here.

Soji points at herself. The answer is solidified by Fem's loss of words. But Soji really thinks so. Become the butler you wanted to be from your previous life, and the experience of a boy wanting to use magic in a fantasy world that he once admired is also happening right now.

I don't know what I'm dissatisfied with... well, if I could just say my greed, my mother would be a little more steadfast. Subtracting that, we are living a satisfactory life in another world.

Fem staggers as if shocked by Soji's words. Yoyo, lying on such a girl, opens his mouth.

"Give up. Soji is mine, and Soji knows it."

"Don't shut up! Then don't say anything from above to the royal princes and nobles like a weak nobleman!

A fem that trembles with force in the hand holding the knife. Yoyo looks at her like that and breathes in astonishment and closes his eyes.

"Soji, I'm getting used to the comfort of sleeping here, but I'd like to go home soon. I have a lot of work to do."

"I'm afraid, Miss Yoyo."

Sausage pointed his right hand towards Testarossa in front of him.

"Burn, Burn, Red Flame"

Guren's flame appeared from his right hand. And it hits Testarossa straight up like a wave.

"Red!? Oh no! His flame is white!?

Fem dyes her face in stunning color, and Testarossa fires a gun at the flame, but it's like water in a rock burn, and the momentum doesn't slow down with a small hole. And she is swallowed by the flame.

Test it!

The flames destroyed by the walls rapidly increase the temperature of the room.

"Oh no, this is normal flame magic...."

"Now, you next...!?

As Soji turned his mind toward the fem, a shadow popped out of the burning flame. Straight toward the sawdust, but with force on the toe of his right foot, he kicks the earth behind him.

But as the shadow turned quickly, Testarossa pointed at the gun in her hand. There is little distance. With this, your body will be punctured like a bug. But rotate your body and use its rotational power to kick the ground, now crushing your distance from Testarossa.

Testarossa frowned slightly, but Soji kicked directly into the gun she was holding in both hands. I thought the weapon attack was gone, but now I'm releasing chains of copper from her palm.

(!?... Again?)

The chain branch is entangled in the left arm. The force continues to compare, but the opponent's strength seems to be greater, and even though the saw is pulling with considerable force, the opponent's face is cool. Well, maybe it's because it's a doll.

Testarossa's eyes narrowed sharply and her unusual powers were transmitted from the chain. I was pulled, but I jumped over her head without turning against her. One spin of glue and body makes a splendid landing. But Testarossa turned to her left hand, which was empty again.

Being wary of what to do, a barrel like a muzzle grew out of the center of my hand.

(.....! They do a lot of things)

Though the sawdust will be turned into a beehive if it stays like this, I will throw the red flame that I released to her again. I know, however, that she has little effect. The aim is to block her sight at all and loosen the chain. The moment the flame hit her as she was aiming, her strength weakened slightly from the chain. I took advantage of that moment to remove the stranded copper from my arm.

At that moment, Testarossa rushed into the flames with great momentum. Soji jumps over her again. But as soon as she landed, the sight of her picking up the gun that fell on the ground came into view.

(Bad!)

I thought so aggressively, but she moved faster, the gun was already in place, and I decided that if it stayed this way, I would be attacked before I got to the ground. That's why Soji decided to create the next flame.

"... imagine me, orange flame"

When you quickly point your left hand forward, an orange wall appears instantly from there.

"Now it's orange!?

Fem is even more stunned. That would be the case. She thought that only white flames were used by Soji. But Fem laughed again, knowing that Saudge could manipulate multiple flames.

"Fufufufufufufu! Wow! It's amazing! If you become yours, there's nothing to be afraid of! Tester, come here!

Testarossa, who was called to the fem, went to the fem, watching out for the walls created by Saudi.

Soji slowly checks his face out of the wall. Testarossa was wrapped in flames, so her clothes were worn out. But I was worried.

It was wrapped in so much fire that only clothes burned. There is little change in hands, feet, face, hair, etc. I don't see any burns.

"You've been doing a lot of robust work."

I don't know if Soji will answer, but I will say something that is also a question. And it was Joyo who answered it.

"Be careful. This woman... is an automata doll."

"... was that so?"

So I gave an answer to everything. Automatic dolls (automata) certainly resemble people, but the material is not human meat, of course. Especially weapon-type (killing type) bodies are made of tough materials to avoid easily getting hurt in battle. Perhaps she is, too.

There will be few encounters of flames on the battlefield. That is why it is not surprising even if a treatment such as heat resistance is applied.

But, yeah, well, it's pretty intact.

(Looks like a doll with a lot of precision)

If Soji had met the doll before, he would have been able to sufficiently incapacitate the flame earlier. The fact that it is intact means that she is a distinct being.

"Are you surprised? Yes, this is an automata doll. Excellent Hand of Atashi"

Fem is bragging.

"But I need to ask you something."

Fem turned his gaze toward Yoyo, not toward Sage.

"How did you know she was an automata? I didn't mean to pretend to be anything like that.

Certainly, Testarossa looks like a quiet woman who seems a little hard to catch. The movement is as smooth as people, and even if they say it's a doll, you can't be trusted.

"Oh, don't underestimate me. Even if you look like this, you can see people."

"... then you just saw through it?

"Yeah, a doll artist knows that there are parts of you that don't look exactly like people, no matter how much they look like people.

…………

"That's... my eyes. No matter how much emotion you create, no matter how alive you look, if you look at your eyes, you can tell if they're human or not."

The answer to Yoyo is silence.

(Well, the young lady's discerning eyes are different.)

Yoyo is out of sight, out of sight, out of sight. In addition, there is the eye power that has been cultivated by having been in contact with many people since childhood with their father. In addition to that, she gains her share of magic as well.

"... you... are really just a nobleman...?

"Oh, who was the weak nobleman?

Yoyo, smiling invincibly, had an attitude that seemed unlikely to be in a position to be freed and killed.

"Besides, you didn't even have to tell me about Soji, did you?

"Yeah."

Soji takes a piece of paper out of his pocket.

"Well, that's...."

"Yes, that's the blackmail letter you gave me. It's a lot of beautiful writing, but it looks like it was written by your automatic doll."

"No, how do you know that!

"No, unfortunately I do. And when you're making this threatening letter, you say," That's my automata doll. "

"That's why..."

Yes, while I was here, Saudge was looking at the footage of a threatening letter with a blueflame that explored his memory. At that time, a video of the threatening letter being made by Testarossa was projected, but Fem looked at the writing on the paper and said, "Yeah, it's beautiful. That's my Automata doll. I wonder if omnipotent means this," he laughed.

"Don't lick the sausage too much. He's my butler."

Fem stares at Joyo in disdain. After a while the two of them stared at each other, Fem cut off his sight first.

"Tester, we're done. I'm going to get Saudi Alcasa back."

"... I understand."

Soji is also alert to the sudden change in the atmosphere of the fem. Then Testarossa held the fem. Then, both bodies gradually disappear.

(Is this...?!?

Move your gaze to find the two who have completely disappeared from this church.

(Transparent magic....? I see, it's troublesome.)

I don't even feel any signs. It was probably the magic of the fem, and whoever she touched seemed to be able to give it a magical effect together, but this was quite frankly irregular.

Then suddenly my cheeks are bumped and painful. Destroying the chair and falling down the saw quickly rises and checks the surroundings, but without knowing anything, it would appear that the saw just blew up by itself.

But this is definitely an attack by the vanished Testarossa.

"What do you think? I think we should surrender.

The voice of the fem echoes in the church.

(Phew, no, this ability is good for assassinations, infiltrations, etc.)

With this magic, you can approach the opponent without making any noise. Kill them, kidnap them like Yoyo.

"Fufufufufu! Crowtail! If Atashi and Testa are serious, they can kill your loved ones anytime, anywhere! Check it out! Where the dear butler is taken!

Fem sounds as if he is convinced of victory. But the next thing that resounded to the church was Yoyo's voice, which didn't upset me at all, as usual.

Saudge, if you don't get home soon, dinner will be late.

"Ha!?

Fem stunned at Yoyo's words and actions, which did not feel a shard of fear at all. And Soji stood up, striking his clothes with bread.

"That's right, let's go home and reassure Ninte. I was very anxious."

"Oh, I have to hurry."

"Yeah."

In a moment, Saudi smiled and a white flame overflowed from Saudi's right hand.

"Is that it!?

I hear a slightly touching voice from Fem.

"Well...."

The white flame begins to float over the sausage, and the next word of the sausage creates a battle.

"Except for me and my daughter, eat it up, white flame."

It was an instant enough to be missed as soon as it blinked. When I thought that the white flame had changed into a form that looked like a big mouth, I literally wiped out everything except Sauji and Yoyo with a wind-like motion.
