"I need a favor from Flora-Zamel."

"Ok...... what can I do?"

It was upright immovable.

I looked for Flora-Zamel and this is what happened when I talked to him.

"Actually, I'd like to experiment with magic."

"Yes, please use me…"

Why are you giving me your head?

What kind of magic experiment do you think I'm gonna do? Brainwashing or retrofitting?

"I was impressed to see so much of 'Composite Ancient Magic' earlier. If you need to experiment with Yuki's magic... please, use me."

"No, because it's not now. Experimenting only after sundown."

Hold down Flora-Zamel trying to pull his hand and run out.

"You don't have to be so desperate. Because it's an experiment that comes to mind."

"Yes...... is it?

"It's an experiment I don't even know if I'm going to succeed or fail. So you don't have to be in a hurry."

"... I'm sorry, Master Yuki-Grossalia"

Flora-Zamel dropped his shoulder and sighed.

"I, it's always like this. Someone's opinion... immediately influences me and tries to fit in. I wanted to do something about myself like this, and I... became your squire Yuki-Grossalia..."

"I think that's an advantage, too."

I said.

"That's why I want Flora-Zamel to help me with my magic experiments."

"... my... need the power to fit others, is it?

"Oh. I was wondering if you could help me"

"Yes! Of course. Let me do it!!

Flora-Zamel burst his fist.

You seem motivated.

"Then I'll call you when I'm ready. And I want you to keep this a secret from the others. It's an experiment that His Royal Highness Iris will cooperate with, so keep it a secret."

"I understand... I have. Even if it's burned by Hellfire... it's shutting its mouth."

"You don't have to be so desperate!

I wonder what it is.

I feel like Flora-Zamel is dangerous in a different way than Iris.

I'll see you later.

That's what I said, I went back to the carriage.

Let's start by explaining to Iris how to do a magic experiment.

Evening.

The camp is ready, and we're done for dinner.

Then, after sundown, me and Iris left the carriage.

"Now let's begin the magic experiment."

I said.

The place is in the woods near the streets.

There's no one here, and when something happens, we'll be right back in the carriage.

"I'm going to ask His Royal Highness Iris to help me this time."

'Guardian Knight' tone, I said.

"Your Highness, thank you for keeping up with this"

"No, it's a request from no other Yuki. Besides, I'm also interested in Composite Ancient Magic."

That's what Iris smiles at.

The meeting is right around here.

It's me and Iris and Flora-Zamel who know about the magic experiment.

And I also spoke to Mr. Roszo-Burns.

Magic flames will get into the eyes of the soldiers, because they have to be mistaken for an attack.

"Iris...... Your Highness. Let me tell you something, I'm... doing magic experiments with... the"

"Flora-Zamel. I want to talk to you about you."

"Ha, ha."

"Yuki said we need your help with this experiment. I believe that. Nice to meet you"

"Yes. Yes, even if I swap my life for one!

"You don't have to change it. Let's get ready."

Once again in the 'Guardian Knight' tone, I said.

I'm not used to it, this tone. Stand up.

Flora-Zamel's with me, so I can't help it.

So, Mae, help me.

"Heh heh heh heh"

May the slime at my feet jumps on my hand.

"... are you okay, Yuki?"

"You say it's okay?

"Slime is when you eat, when you give out digestive fluid..."

"I've told you around there, so it's okay. And now Mae's nourishing my magic."

Slime lives by eating small bugs, small animals, and magic.

So I gave May plenty of my Magic Blood.

You shouldn't even need a meal for a while.

Besides, Green Slime just digests the bugs and stuff you take in.

It's okay to touch the surface.

"See you, Your Highness. Can you hold the May of Slime?"

"I understand. Yuki."

Iris does not hesitate and lifts May with his right hand.

I'm used to it. Well, you were cushioning me until just now.

"May, stretch your body a little bit"

"Phew, phew, phew."

Follow my instructions, Mae the Slime stretches her body.

It stretches out like a string.

Slime is an amorphous creature.

On top of that, Mae's ability is enhanced by taking in Magic Blood.

I'm free to change my body's heels.

"Excuse me. Her Royal Highness."

I wrapped a stringed May around Iris' wrist.

"I see. You string the slime and tie it to my wrist."

"I'll adjust the length...... sure, isn't it tight?

"No problem. May from Slime seems to be following my movements."

"Oh, you know. His Royal Highness Iris, Yuki-Grossalia..."

When I realized, Flora-Zamel was looking at us seriously.

"Why are you both so calm!?

""... Huh?

"Rope the slime and tie it to your wrist, etc... I've never heard of it! I can't believe we put slime and will through so much and control the movement...... Rather than that, how could His Highness Iris be so calm!?

That's because Alice (...) was close to Slime in her previous life.

Alice spent the whole day staring at Slime, who was exterminating pests in the fields, and then she said, "How does it feel to be Slime? My Lord!"

There's no way I know how slime feels.

I couldn't help it, so I asked Slime himself, and I put it together in a report.

But, well, isn't it a good idea for Iris to be calm in this world?

"Your Highness, you are so surprised!?

I said it as I glanced at Iris.

"The situation of slime wrapping around the wrist of Her Royal Highness Eighth Princess Iris-Leastia should be too unexpected. You're not even talking about that situation before. I know. I can see you've been so awesome."

"Right. The situation of slime wrapping around my wrist, the royal one, was too unexpected. It was too unexpected to have a voice!

Iris raised his voice to it.

"Your Royal Highness, are you very well?

"Yes. It's so awesome!

Me and Iris nod. All right. That'll do.

"Now it's Flora-Zamel's turn"

"Huh? Me too...?

"This experiment is designed to use composite ancient magic with the support of slime."

Slime passes through magic.

In other words, the Iris, who connected the slime instead of the rope, would be magically connected.

If those two use "Ancient Magic" at the same time, it should have the same effect as my "Ancient Magic" twice (double).

"This slime...... May is my user demon, so I will do the magic transfer as I instruct too. Plus, support so that the two behaviors can be linked. In the meantime, try"

"Wah...... ok!

Then don't hesitate.

I also wrap a slime of May around Flora-Zamel's wrist.

"Can Flora-Zamel use The Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Bloo)?

"Yes, sir"

"Now try the operation and magic operation of 'Ancient Sorcery' at the right time with Your Highness"

"I get it......"

Iris and Flora-Zamel line up and draw the crest of the Flaming God Bullet (Yfried Blow) at their fingertips.

The timing of the spell chant is right.

I guess this is because we hear each other, voices.

But the movement is subtly off.

Drawing the crest of Ancient Sorcery at your fingertips requires delicate motion.

Doing that at the same time seems difficult after all.

"May, ask for support"

"(Phew Phew!

Iris and Flora-Zamel are connected by a stringed slime.

I don't know what that means.

"Phew!

"Ha, yes!? Now... did you pull it?

"... Phew Phew"

"Pull my arm down... you're here. Does that mean your arm is too high......?

"(Michi!

"Now you pushed it? That means it works faster......?

"Hey!

May moves into small pieces to adjust Flora-Zamel's movements.

As it were, they completed the operation of Ancient Sorcery.

"Activate the Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)!"

"is activated 'Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)'!"

The timing of activation has slipped.

Slightly behind Iris, Flora-Zamel's flamethrower flies into the sky.

There is no change in power.

It didn't seem to be 'Composite Ancient Magic'.

"His Highness Iris, too, seems to be working a little too fast. Fit Flora-Zamel"

"Yes. Milo - No, Mr. Yuki."

"Sorry...... my operation was too slow......"

"For the first time, I think it went really well."

"I am easily flushed by people," Flora-Zamel said.

It also means, on the contrary, "I can erase myself and adapt it to others".

That's why I called her to The Combined Magic Experiment.

Of course, I think if me and Iris do it, we'll succeed.

But that doesn't make sense.

I want to make this Composite Magic available to the average magician.

This magic becomes an effective weapon to face the 'Sanctuary Church' and Empire.

If it spreads, we may be able to defeat the Empire and the Church of the Sanctuary alone, even if we do nothing.

Besides, if we can all use "ancient magic" twice or triple, it won't be noticeable if I use it. It's a good thing.

So it's so helpful that Flora-Zamel can help.

If this is the first time, I guess we'll get to a pretty good place next time.

"also, let me do it again...... Your Highness, Master Yuki-Grossalia"

"Yeah. Of course. I'm going to make it work next time."

"Cucu!"

Flora-Zamel, Iris, and May are motivated.

Better not stop at times like this.

"Well, try again."

"" Yes! "" "Heh heh heh heh!

A second magic experiment began.

Both Iris and Flora-Zamel take a good look at May the slime this time.

May of the day, too, is moving into small pieces.

Maybe he's pulling or pushing his arm to correct the subtle deviation.

Eventually, Iris and Flora-Zamel's chants overlap.

It's my magic in May that connects the two.

So I can see the flow of the two magic operations.

...... yeah. Looks like it's working.

The movement is also beginning to synchronize. If this is...

"" Activated. "Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)"!! "

Iris and Flora-Zamel activated magic at about the same time (...).

At the end of the two canes, a flame bullet is born. Big.

Approximately twice the size. The number of rounds is increasing. This one is twice as good.

The two release it towards the sky.

"It's bright -! '" Awesome -!?' 'It's frightening -!

A bat army is screaming around me.

The flames created by Iris and Flora-Zamel illuminate the surroundings like midday.

Plus, boom.

Zdododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododo

"Hey, what!?" "Explosion!?" "What the hell..."

"... please calm down. That's from the magicians' experiments."

There was a voice of soldiers in the distance.

As expected, Mr. Roszo-Burns seems to have contained us all.

"Is that 'ancient magic' that's twice as powerful..."

"I can't believe it...... I can't. I can't believe I'm releasing such amazing sorcery..."

Both Iris and Flora-Zamel are staring at flamethrows flying towards the sky.

"May. Back."

"(Phew, phew)!

May the Slime lets go of their arms and they come back to me.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there a burden on your body?

"(huffs)"

"Are you okay with just transmitting magic? Good for you."

"Miuuuu!

May happily entered the leather bag (Kawabukuro) that I had raised on her hips.

"This is a success, isn't it? Milo...... no, you yuki!!

Iris came to me and laughed.

"Yes. I didn't expect you to succeed so soon."

I couldn't have stroked Iris' head, so I just praised him.

"That's just great. Your Highness, it's a great talent."

"I want a teacher. I finally know that Yuki's instruction is easy to understand. Instructional materials will provide you with the best. Hey, May."

"Phew."

Iris sticks May in the leather bag at his fingertips.

May also sticks her body back out like a finger. You're really close.

"It is only natural to respond to Yuki's instruction as a regular student (...)"

"Your Highness, is it possible to spread 'composite ancient magic' using slime"

"If you have a slime of good instruction like May, I think it will be popular soon. However, it is difficult to use slime as a demon, and there are no examples of how we can combine our intentions so far..."

"Looks like I'm gonna have to get involved for a while."

"Yes, because I'll help you too"

Iris said so and laughed.

Seems like I'm really happy to have succeeded in 'Composite Ancient Magic'.

Well, I thought I could. Because it's about Iris.

Ever since last life, this guy swallowed so fast, he's a genius.

"How was Flora-Zamel? Haven't you had a problem?

".................. yes"

Flora-Zamel was staring into his own hands.

Thin shoulders, faintly trembling.

"But... I can't believe it. I can't believe I used such a powerful 'ancient magic'..."

"Flora-Zamel did it perfectly. Thank you."

She matched Iris' movements with perfection.

Even though May adjusted, her success on just two occasions was due to her talent.

"You're good for Composite Ancient Sorcery."

I said.

"When spreading this technology to the 'Magic Guild', please, help. I think Flora-Zamel's ability to synchronize would suit anyone"

"Yes! Yes......"

Porous. Porous.

It was sudden.

Flora-Zamel cried, holding her face down.

"Duh, what's up!?

Unexpectedly the language was back to vegan.

That's how surprised I am.

I don't think there's anything like crying about it right now...

"I... am your uncle's grandson... and if you don't have the talent... to coach me... I am angry that Old Zamel's grandson can do this..."

Flora-Zamel was crushing in tears.

... but that's crazy.

Flora-Zamel usually has a talent for witchcraft.

I have knowledge, and I can honestly accept the guidance of others.

And if that didn't work out...

"... Isn't that a matter of mentoring?

When I said it, Flora-Zamel shook his head.

"... I gave up on myself. I don't have the talent to quit being a magician... but Yuki-Grossalia told me there's something I can do."

Flora-Zamel looked at me in tears.

"Thank you. I won't forget this thank you. Absolutely... I'll give it back."

"Then I wonder if you'll also accompany me to my next magic experiment. In confidence."

"Yes...... never"

Good.

Flora-Zamel is good for Composite Magic.

She would spread this technology to the 'Magic Guild'. I'm relieved too.

"... Yuki sama"

"What's wrong? Your Highness."

"Just in case, I think you should also practice Yuki and I's 'combined magic' experiment."

"... is it?

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Why are you upset? Iris.

I don't think you need it. Iris drinks my 'magic blood' and is acting like a demon, so he's sure to succeed.

"My esteemed leader said. 'Remembering with your body, repetitive practice is important'. Nature and technology are acquired from that successful experience. So I think you should do some magic experiments with me and Yuki-Grossalia. Yes, it's the words of a respected leader."

"Great words. You had such a mentor..."

Something's touching Flora-Zamel, too.

"I would love to be mentored by someone like that, too"

Yeah. I coached you earlier.

Iris is saying that Dean-Nosferatu is my word from a previous life.

"... Sure, you need practice. Your Highness."

I can't help it.

Just in case, you should also practice for when you have to

"Later, again, let's say"

"Right. Flora-Zamel will be tired too."

"Huh?"

Later. Later.

"Yes. Later."

We decided to go back to the camp.

And late at night...

"Did you do it..."

"You've done it. My Road......"

Me and Iris accidentally made a big hole in the ground with five times the Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo), including the Bat Corps, and we're going to have a hard time making excuses for Mr. Roszo... that's another story.
