"- How are you feeling? Lady of the Slays."

In Odette's ear, the voice of old Zamel arrived.

This is a magic laboratory in the "Magic Guild".

In the middle of it, a second activation experiment was about to take place for the Spirit King's Ride.

"I want you to reply if you hear me. You got a problem with that?

"It's okay. Zamel."

Odette replied.

The magic laboratory is equipped with stone walls.

Preparation for when "Ancient Sorcery" or "Ancient Instruments" go wild.

Standing behind it, the old Zamel and the magicians of the 'Zamel' watched Odette.

Old Zamel, wearing a white robe, pointed to the box he had placed on the side and

"Say it as soon as you feel you're lacking magic. I have a potion for magic."

Thank you for your consideration.

Odette nodded.

She just wore The King of Spirits Ride a while ago.

I feel uncomfortable.

Odette, a mage, has hardly ever worn armor.

At best, they wore light leather armor made for magicians.

This was the first time I wore metal armor that covered my entire body.

I feel uncomfortable. But I don't feel burdened.

"Spirit King Ride" is bigger than Odette's height. Her hands and feet will not reach the tip of the armor's hands and feet.

Still, it's the strange thing about 'King's Ride' that makes it work fine.

Odette just thought, "Let's grip," and the armor grabs his finger and opens.

Armor that moves with magic, not muscle - that's the most powerful ancient object, the King's Ride.

(... Yuki is often comfortable with this stuff)

Odette sighed.

I wanted to be a part of the experiment because I wanted to be a part of Yuki, and I was reminded of the difference between him and him.

Odette now just manages to stand together the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

I don't feel like I can fight.

Still, we have to do it.

I'm sorry they left me.

Just while I can be with Yuki and Iris... because I want to be standing in the same place...

"I'd like your instructions. Zamel, what do I do now?

"Right. First, walk normally."

"Okay, I get it."

As Old Zamel instructed, Odette slowly, put his feet forward.

In line with the motion and image, "King of Spirits Ride" also begins to walk.

The stride is only fast for a wide stride, but the motion is stable.

"I have a higher vision and a wider stride than usual...... no problem. You can walk normally."

"Oh well."

I saw Old Zamel soaking sweat.

The magicians around also look pompous.

Thinking something strange might have happened - Odette waits for the next instruction.

"King of Spirits Ride" is stable.

The left elbow (hiatus) is fitted with the shield used by 'Armed Auga', but the balance between the left and right is also not broken.

I guess there's a magical stability mechanism, and Odette nods.

"Next will be a defensive test against 'Ancient Sorcery'... okay?

"Yes, no problem"

"In the last experiment, after this exam, the magician who was putting together" King of Spirits Riding "broke the balance of his spirit. As soon as you feel unusual."

"Okay."

Odette nodded.

"I have a favor for your information...... what happened in the previous experiment?

"Those who were putting together the 'King of Spirits Ride' were caught in the impulse to fight back and destroy. They say other magicians and humans have become boring. Then she lost her magic and couldn't move."

"... it's... you have to be careful"

"Oh, I want you to be very careful."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, here we go."

On the signal of Old Zamel, several magicians come forward.

As he was being explained, Odette stretches out the arms of The Spirit King's Ride.

The magicians who saw it begin chanting 'Ancient Sorcery'.

"Ancient Magic" is about to be directed at me.

Odette's body trembles to its senses.

(─ Calm down. Odette-Sray. you are safe)

Odette takes a deep breath and tells himself:

(You've seen Yuki's "King's Ride" invalidate magic many times, haven't you? The only people who can scratch this are the same King's Ride and Yuki's Holy Sword!

I'm ready.

Odette opens his eyes and looks at the magic he's about to activate right now.

"" "Activate" Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo) "!!" "

And the magicians activated Ancient Sorcery.

Three giant flamethrows of ammunition fly over Odette.

That 's--

"I'll play it! Yes."

The first shot - the fist of "King of Spirits Ride" plays.

"You can also use a shield!!

The second shot - - Odette puts forward the shield of 'Armed Auga'.

The moment you touch it, the fireball of "Red Lotus Star Bullet" extinguishes.

"Next time - you're a little off course. I'll take it!

The third shot - a fireball that is unlikely to hit the "King of Spirits" - is sidestepped and received with a shield.

'King of Spirits Ride' moves horizontally as he gives up earthly smoke.

Use your left elbow shield to catch the fireball coming toward you and extinguish it.

"" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The magicians cheered me.

"I can't believe it...... I finally manipulated the 'King of Spirits Ride' which even the C-Class Mage DeMetel was able to move... lightly!!

"Is the Slay family's maid still different?"

"I'm moving it as if it were my body. Incredible......"

(Huh?)

Odette snapped his neck.

It seems surprising to them to use The King of Spirits Ride.

But Odette doesn't feel particularly burdened.

It's more like I'm wondering if I can only make this degree of movement compared to Yuki.

(... Others can't do this?

(... even though I'm a low-ranking magician who just entered the guild?

Seeing, in front of the defensive wall, the old Zamels are discussing Odette's movements now.

No one can move the 'King of Spirits Ride' more. We should make Odette-Sray our exclusive user. If we don't analyze the motion more, we're talking forehead to forehead. Seeing all that awkwardness, Odette did something really amazing.

But Odette doesn't know why.

Unexpectedly, I wonder what's the difference between you and the other magicians.

Experience is overwhelmingly lacking Odette.

The amount of magic is not particularly strong.

It's not like it's a special blood muscle.

If you can't help but look for a difference with someone else...

(Is it as much as I used to get Yuki's "Magic Blood"...)

Odette slapped his hand, pounding.

I felt like I figured out the cause.

Odette is getting "Magic Blood" from Yuki during his battle with "Beast King's Ride".

The bats and I somehow became able to match each other through our will because of it.

And this "King of Spirits Ride" has been "Erosion (Hacked)" once from Yuki.

At that time, Yuki ruled the 'King of Spirits Ride' deep down.

So maybe this' King's Ride 'has become familiar with Yuki's magic.

Because that 'King of Spirits Ride' was worn by Odette who got his' Magic Blood '......

Does this armor mean that it has become familiar to me?

Odette kept his armor on and put his hand on his chest.

Wishes may come true.

The purpose of Odette is to provide support for Yuki, who cannot stand out and use his abilities. It's about helping my best friend Iris.

Dangerous - but gentle Yuki and Iris wholeheartedly admiring it.

Immortal Yuki and immortal Iris cannot stay with Odette forever.

One day the two of you will leave this kingdom and go out of your reach.

So until then, I'll be with you as much as I can.

Help them to live normally.

So that the two of you who live a long time will remember Odette.

If using "King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Riding (Phantom)" makes that happen, there's nothing to get lost in.

"─ Can we continue the experiment? Lady of the Slay family."

"Yes! Master Zamel!

So to Old Zamel's question, Odette nodded.

A few minutes later, at the magic lab, five golems appeared.

"I want these golems attacked. Sure, I wouldn't mind taking it down."

Copy that, sir.

"... are you sure you're okay? There's nothing you can't do."

"No problem"

Odette answered briefly.

There's no way there's a problem.

Because I own this "King of Spirits Ride".

I wonder what you're worried about. Those magicians (...) are (...) ─

"No problem!

Odette runs The Spirit King Ride.

"You can't help that one if you seem to cling to such a golem!

Oops!

Odette slaps Stonegolem on the fist of "King of Spirits Ride".

Hands with the ability to disable witchcraft lingered in the body of the stone golem as it were.

"Whoa!"

"Wow. What a speed"

"Is that the talent of the Slay family's maid?"

Odette listens to the magicians.

It's not worth asking. The enemy is still there.

Hit the shield on the second stone golem and disable the magic that makes up the golem. Destroy.

The third body - the magicians - is making a scene.

There's something screaming that's missing to take.

Shut up (...).

What's the point of making a scene? Dumb.

(─ eh. What am I doing now?

For a moment, to the thought that came behind his brain, Odette stops moving.

In that gap, Stonegolem's foot kicked the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

"─ Damn!?

The golem that touches "King of Spirits Ride" collapses instantly.

but the shock passed to Odette.

With his body loose, Odette unwittingly kneels.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe a human magician offends himself.

We have to remind him.

(... this emotion... what the hell...)

It's not Odette's own.

This is what flows in from The King of Spirits Ride.

"Lady of the Slay family!? What's wrong with you!?

Old Zamel is screaming.

Shut up.

The head shaken by the golem gangs.

I want to break loose. I want to fight back and beat what attacked me.

I can't contain that emotion.

(No way - 'Spirit King's Ride' is going wild!?

Odette opens his mouth to call for the experiment to be stopped.

But I didn't have a voice.

"King of Spirits Ride" is familiar with Odette.

That also means Odette is familiar with the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

(... my body... doesn't move?

"King of Spirits Ride" has a system that neither Odette nor "Magic Guild" knows.

It's instructing Odette, the wearer, to attack.

(I have no complete control over this armor. Instead, armor is trying to rule me more. To use this "King of Spirits Ride" - there's still something missing)

Odette's face turned bright blue.

Eventually, The Spirit King Ride walks out toward Old Zamel, who is in the audience.

Odette desperately tries to stop the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

But the armor moves out on its own.

A red letter appears inside the armor. I kind of know what that means. Out of control. Insufficient adjustment.

Odette's magic is indeed familiar with the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

But I'm not in complete control.

This' King of Spirits Ride 'does not recognize Odette as his master. I figured that out.

"─ I'm sorry. Yuki."

Odette blushes her lips.

"I... wanted to help you..."

Odette, who closed his eyes, gave up everything - when.

"Why do you hear Odette?

Behind Odette's brain, Yuki's voice echoed.

"─ Yuki!?

Odette screams back unexpectedly.

"─ You think it's Yuki-Grossalia? What's wrong with him?

"What the hell is Odette-Sray talking about?

"I don't know. I can't hear anyone but Odette-Sray."

(─ Are the words of Yuki only heard by me?

It's not the voice you're hearing.

Yuki's words echo directly into Odette's head, which brings together The Spirit King's Ride.

"Yuki. Can you hear me? It's Odette! '

Odette called out in his head, not in his voice.

And then...

"I can hear you. But why is Odette's voice echoing in my" Black King (Lord of =) Ride (Noir) "?

'I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm putting together a "King of Spirits Ride."

'... why?

Signs of fright.

'I'm sorry. I don't know. Why is Odette using "Spirit King's Ride"?

"... I volunteered for a startup experiment. I want to help you... '

"Odette's in the king's capital, isn't he?

"Yes. I'm putting together a" King of Spirits Ride "at the magic lab. If I call you in that state, this is... '

'I see. When your buddies are wearing "King's Rides," can we even talk away...'

Yuki seemed to nod.

'Maybe we're having a conversation because "King's Ride" is magically connected to each other. The "Spirit King Ride" that I "eroded" is worn by the "Magic Blood" Odette and connected to the "Black King Ride" that is moving with my magic. We're probably magically connected right now.'

"... if yuki"

Laughter spills inadvertently on Yuki's words, including commentary.

It was strange.

One word of Yuki makes me feel like everything's been resolved.

But... that's not the case now.

I need to tell Yuki what I did.

Though I may be able to get that out, this information should help him.

'I'm sorry. I seem to have slammed the "King of Spirits Ride"

Odette was in a trembling voice,

Explain briefly.

That she, along with Old Zamel, did an activation experiment for "King of Spirits Ride".

That I felt like I could use it well.

But after experimenting with the attack, something abnormal happened.

"This was not something I could manipulate."

Odette told Yuki so.

'Along the way - something's confusing me - I've lost control. Now, I've managed to stop the movement, but I can't even get out of the armor'

'... Really?

'Yes, so I'm going to use all my magic'

That would be the only way to stop the 'Spirit King Ride'.

Continue to use 'Ancient Magic' until the magic runs out, deliberately causing the magic to run out.

If this armor is working with magic, that should stop it.

Experiments fail.

Odette will buy the wrath of old Zamel and be disposed of.

(But I can't help it)

Odette blushes her lips. Anger creeps up at my fuzziness.

I can see the blood flowing from my overly smudged lips.

I regret my mistakes, and...

'I see. Does that mean that "King of Spirits Ride" has a self-defense mechanism? Looks like it's going wild. "

Unexpectedly, Yuki's answer returned.

"Speaking of which, when I used to" erode (hack) ", there was a system of internal magic that looked like a counterattack. I didn't have time then, and I didn't mess with you that much... you know, Odette '

'Yes, yes!

"I think he's automatically starting to fight back against the person he's attacked to protect the wearer. The point is, even if Odette's unconscious, he's starting to defeat his enemies anyway."

"... that's what happened"

Angry emotions poured in from the armor when he was attacked by sorcery.

That, it seems, was a feature to make him fight back automatically.

It was Yuki's guess that Odette could not resist it because he had not yet completely dominated the 'King of Spirits Ride'.

'How do I disable internal magic... I wonder if I should register a user'

"Yuki... you know what I mean?

'I'm not sure, though. Odette, can you put blood on the inside of your armor?

'... you can do it'

I just cut my lips off too much.

As they say, Odette puts his lips on the inside of his armor.

'All you have to do is run magic from there all over your armor. to obey oneself, while commanding'

"... magic to the whole armor"

Imagine.

From the part where you put blood on it, let the magic of Odette flow all over your body.

(Listen - 'King of Spirits Ride'. I am your master)

Close your eyes and declare with magic.

(I order in the name of Odette-Sray. obey me)

(It's a legacy of ancient magic civilization. Your power is to protect people)

(Not for aggression, not to fight each other, not to have a big fight again)

And... reincarnated in this day and age, to protect our loved ones.

Odette grips his fist-- - Move.

Little by little, but the dominion of the body and the 'Spirit King's Ride' is returning.

I don't know if it's because of magic, because of my own blood that I received 'magic blood', or because of the power of my will.

But I'm sure.

Odette can control this' King's Ride '.

(I command you once now. Obey me. "King of Spirits Ride")

Strong - even surprisingly strong himself, Odette declares.

(I command you in the name of Odete-Slay, a friend of the Patron Lord of the Villages of Tai Ancient. Along with the magic that he gave me... be my subordinate! "Spirit King Ride"!!

Shh, and the sound makes my body lighter.

Raise your arms. Move.

My legs go up, too.

The body can move without any problems. The anger emotions that were swirling just now are also disappearing.

The head is neat. There's no pressure either.

My body is light.

rather than moving faster than just now.

There was magic all over the armor... and it seemed to integrate with my body.

"Lady of the Slay family. Odette-Sray!? Keep your mouth shut all the time but are you okay?!? Answer me!

"I beg your pardon, Master Zamel! I'm fine!!

To Old Zamel's cry, Odette waves and answers.

Really, there's no problem.

Nothing. "Spirit King Ride" is fully mastered by Odette.

"Oh well. I wondered what happened because I didn't hear back. Your mental state is stable, isn't it? Has the magic run out happened?

"Absolutely, no problem. Enough magic."

Odette confirms the magic in him. There's plenty of room.

Rather than that, it consumes less magic than just now.

It is true that this' King's Ride 'has become Odette's.

I mean, I guess I can't use this anymore, except for Odette...

"Yuki. What the hell did you do!?

"Huh? That's why that" Spirit King Ride "had a system that automatically countered what you were attacking, right? To disable it, Odette had to take full control of the" King of Spirits Ride. "

Like nothing, Yuki replied.

'That's why I tried to make sure Odette's magic went deep into the system. Counter Strike System, didn't you stop?

"It stopped."

"Then you'll have no problem."

That's not the problem.

I accidentally raised my voice in my head and Odette realized she was laughing.

Really, someone in trouble.

Near or away, it helps.

So... I want to rely on it. It makes me want to be on my side...

A really troubled person - and with that in mind, Odette notices and asks.

Yuki, by the way. Where are you now?

"It's a meadow about a day by horse from Wangdu. Until just now, I was injured (...) rescuing the conductor (...) '

Rescue the conductor?

"This is the early horse that Mr. Roszo-Burns sent out for the King's Capital. He was attacked by an enemy. '

Yuki quietly told him so.

Odette knew the seriousness of the words.

A conductor from the border to the king's capital was attacked by the enemy.

That means the enemy has already entered the country.

'Tell the "Magic Guild" that Odette has managed to reason with me. The enemy is a dozen soldiers. The boss looks like a knight. "King's Horse (Lord)."
