The Branded Female Fencer

Avengers, Part 8 - Manipulation of the Heart

"Larna, I'd like to ask you one thing, isn't dark magic going to pay some price?

"Yes, perhaps the jewels worn by Her Majesty Queen Muse will be the price of witchcraft. During several uses, the gem should come to life and break. You have such sorcery. I do say gemstone magic or something, but I'm just talking about what to use as a catalyst, so if it's anything, you can even use a glass around it. It's true that gem-like polyhedrons make it easy to fill a lot of magic."

"I see. How can I prevent Princess Muse from witchcraft? If it's just Alpha Reese, I don't know what to say to Her Majesty."

"With me, you can probably prevent it. Because I guess that's why Alphilis called me. I guess she also felt that as a result of this meeting, she had a somewhat unpleasant feeling. Even if I was manipulated, wouldn't I have stepped on it that I could handle it?

As long as I don't regularly apply brainwashing magic or anything else, I've solved it by any of the top magicians. There will be nothing wrong with this request when it is over. But you should be aware of the princess's words. "

"Words?"

Rhine listens back without knowing what Lana's words mean.

"Words, for example?

"Right. As there are those who use spells, a word is magical simply by its original mouth. This is the same for ordinary people who have no experience in witchcraft, and if you make a promise to someone, you feel guilty about turning them into rebellions.

When a magician does the same thing, the compulsion becomes very strong, such as forcibly fulfilling a promise, and when a promise is broken, it will offer some price. The question is in what way to set it up. One can also consciously avoid listening to one another if one realizes that one has witchcraft skills. Because the intrusion is a tying by hearing. If you know what I mean, you can do whatever you want. "

"But Alphilis didn't notice."

"Yeah. Probably like word play, you mixed it up in a conversation. He said the conversation wouldn't engage. Did you take the alphilis word butt and put it on magic, or did you hide it in your own words? Intentionally emphasize the first of words, for example, and leave only that in your head. Thus."

Larna suddenly began to roll the powder onto the ground from inside her hands. Rhine was surprised, but when Larna finished dropping the powder, she accidentally looked at Larna.

Seeing that line, Larna grinned and cheered.

"What do you say?

"What do you say, what?

"Now your consciousness looked at me reflexively with my hands and shortly after I had finished dropping the powder. Different?

"That's true, though. So what's up?

"This is gaze induction, but you will also be able to do the same to induce words. And now you're already in my magic."

"Hmm?

When the figure swayed loosely at the same time as Larna's words, the figure suddenly appeared beside the line. The line doesn't fly by surprise.

"Now - what?

"We used your gaze to focus on sorcery. Well, you don't know, do you?

"Ugh... sure"

A cold sweat streamed down the spine of the line. Larna's smile didn't change, but Rhine felt the sorcerer's fear again. It's not like someone I know doesn't have a magician, but Larna is still the one who was coached by a witch. Quite a user than a normal magician.

"Guiding gaze is easy in this way, but guiding words is difficult inside. So you must have mixed it up with your own words after all"

"Well, can you do that"

"It's very easy. That's not what I meant."

Shortly afterwards, the line was kicking the ground and flying on the spot, wondering if his consciousness had crept for a moment. A line that doesn't know what you're doing and is flattering.

"What's that... what?

"Here's the thing. Remember and connect my words, the words of the head of the sentence"

"And... be?

The line stifled. Larna cheers again.

"It's very difficult to control the behavior of others. So I first made a brief implication to you using gaze guidance, and then I used verbal magic. It is a use of witchcraft in two stages. I guess Queen Muse is using her own garden to do that. The garden itself is the first stage. Then all you have to do is say the words anymore. Daimyo, you said," Listen to me, "but you said. So I can't help but reply to Alpha Reese."

"Okay... okay, so you're gonna have to untie my magic, okay? I don't want you to hear me say anything meaningless in the future."

"Oh, that was hilarious. Too bad."

Larna sounded sincerely sorry, her fingers squeaking properly. Then the line's head was neat and the somewhat whimsical weight disappeared.

Rhine was glad that Larna was on his side now.
