The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 155 - Conference Day Six, Night ② -

"So you can talk to animals?

"Well. It used to be anyone, not just me."

"I can do it to some extent too, but I need some pretty special knowledge and experience, right? I wonder how long ago it was."

"Come on, I forgot. I can't remember exactly how many years I've been doing this. I don't want to get old. Don't let your memory get obscure."

Pandora banged on his lid, but Alphilis looked at the trick in a frigid manner. How far is it true and where does it come from? Only my mouth floats in the box, but I can't read that look in Pandora, who doesn't see what I see.

It is often said that the eyes say things to the mouth, but for Alphilis, the eyes give more information than the mouth. The approximate opponent can tell if it's a lie or a truth if he looks in the eye, but in the blind opponent, neither Alphilis' experience nor technology was helpful.

It's also a mystery whether artifacts have the same thought circuits as people in the first place. It may just be imitating a person's personality. Alphilis was crushing observation of the confronting Pandora. I can see the shadows tense even in my consciousness.

"(Don't be alarmed, Alphilis. Relics don't have to look like anything, but they have the ability to destroy a single country. This guy doesn't know what he's hiding either.

If you think about the shape of the box, you might be storing something inside, but you might even be packing a bomb inside) "

"(Hey, don't be scared)"

"(talking about possibilities)"

"Come on, I'm not stuffing a bomb. Do you have a fool in your body who carries such a dangerous thing?"

Pandora suddenly interrupted the conversation in Alphilis' consciousness, so I was surprised and turned away. At that moment, the scene of Alphilis, Shadow and Pandora sitting suddenly in his head against his face was recalled, and Alphilis' consciousness was pulled.

Did the shadow surprise you again, too, looking around. In it, Pandora had opened her lid and removed the cigarette, lighting it gracefully.

"Excuse me. But I didn't think I'd be able to talk slowly if I didn't."

"This is your ability?

"Interrupting into the spiritual world is very much the same as interfering in the real world. At least not for me. From the look of me in the box, humans are more strange than creatures.

Whatever you are, you have a free will that is highly selective enough for any individual to have self and even choose to die in the habit of sharing or interfering with some consciousness at its roots and multipoles. I don't understand how a powerless human race could ever achieve a feat that no powerful individual or race has ever done before. "

"Hey, I don't mind the hard part, but will you stop smoking in people's heads?

Alphilis took the cigarette from Pandora and let it mist in his hand. Pandora was surprised by this as well as the shadows.

"This is it! This adaptability of yours is too great. You, you know what you're doing?

"Even in the places you've created, in my consciousness, it's possible to move or influence as much freely as you want depending on how you think? That's not the basics of magic."

"No, Alphilis, it's..."

"Ha! I'm afraid so. Let me hear that word from both the Sorcery Society. This young lady understands magic better in the root than any sorcerer.

Yes, magic is. The point is, it depends on how you have consciousness. I don't understand that. There are too many magicians. He said he could learn about nature, its logic, and how the world works with human-made letters and books. It's more constructive to sink into a pond and fantasize about harmony with water spirits than to do that. "

To the way Pandora put it, Alphilis waved his hand to the side.

"No, 'cause that's extreme. I'll at least call you, leave it at that."

"That's why they're not responding. The water spirits are basically lovely. It's just right to draw attention to the clothes you're wearing."

"What is this obscenity? I thought about relics and stuff. Was I stupid? Hey, Alphilis. I forgive you, smash this obscene box."

The shadows roar and the voices absurd. Pandora was laughing so hard that she even enjoyed the interaction.

"Ha ha! It's no use breaking my outside. There's just one more box coming out of there."

"Hey, what's that trick box?"

"It could fly off a spear or something, because if you unwittingly break it, it could really explode. Well, the key to unlocking me correctly is the remegate."

Alphilis stiffens himself to the name that suddenly emerges. The story suddenly got to the point, and the shadow was switching to a serious look.
