"Raini, you really can't do this, can you?

"Yes, you'll be fine."

Anxiously, Anisphere tells Raini to make a push. Raini, guided by Anisphere, nods again and again with a bitter smile.

It has been decided that Raini will accompany Ufilia to the Ministry of Magic from today. To help the Ministry solve the problems it has.

Behind the anisphere is Ilia refraining. Based on the failure of Anisphere the other day, I was to accompany you as a visitor.

"You do it right, Raini"

"Yes, please keep Ilaria on track"

"I will do good, Master Anisphere."

"Is that me!?"

Anisphere and Ilia break up on the parting road to the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Magic with their usual interactions. Raini, who dropped that back off with Ufiria, held her chest and exhaled softly.

"Let's go, Master Uphilia"

……

"Master Uphilia?

"... let me also say it from me. Try not to force it, Raini."

"Of course. But this is the place to work."

Uphilia was looking at Raini's face with a little anxiety. But I shake my head left and right to shake off the stray and nod.

"Well, let's go"

"Yes!"

Raini has been facing his existence ever since he was discovered to be a vampire.

Close to people, demons without people. He who inherits the contraindication business created by his obsession with magic. I kept facing myself like that, and I kept going down the path that had been shown to me by Anisphere.

(... okay. I can do it, I can do it)

Raini takes a deep breath at the entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Reinforce your expression and never let your will enter the demonic stone that is assimilating your magic with your heart.

Fluffy. The scent overflows from Raini that you wouldn't notice if you weren't aware. The scent spreads around like a thin mist.

Raini's magical aptitude is considered water. Since she became a vampire, there is no discernible information as to whether she is the same suitability as before, but Raini still specializes in magic using water as a medium.

The mist that spreads thinly from me subsides to the extent that it causes minor discomfort where people are touched. I have felt it before. It is said that Ilia's assessment is close to perfume.

(… exploration, commencement)

To those who touch the spreading fog, spread the "noiseless sound” that they emit as if it were a fork. The "sound” spread from Raini bounces back to Raini to echo from those who are struck with the sound as it were.

One of the properties of a vampire, mental interference. Raini has so far mutated and fascinated this by unconsciously putting magic into his eyes. That power, which can now be consciously used, was showing new forms again in Raini's training.

(... sorted by the reaction of looking at Master Uphilia)

Uphilia walks dignified in front of Raini, who expands his consciousness. Walking with Raini, she seemed to get more attention from those in the Ministry of Magic than usual. That's why I don't even pay attention to Raini, who's expanding his consciousness and exploring.

What is Raini doing? It weighs the “mental state” of the subject echoed by the "sound without sound”. It can also be described as a kind of reading mindset that explores the response of the other person, rather than dealing with mental interference.

(... in reaction, sorting... I need to remember my face...!

However, the amount of information naturally increases if the scope is broadened. If there is more information than just the number of people, sorting the information to be obtained can be burdensome for Raini. Raini manages his expression by deluding it with his ability to play as a vampire.

What we collect is the reaction to Uphilia, and we divide it by "hit," “normal," and "off.” And I remember people's faces, and I carve them into my memory so I don't get it wrong.

“Normal” is a person who reacted neither to poison nor to medication. “Off” is one who is hostile to Uphilia and himself. And “hit” is not to say friendly, but not hostile.

That's how Raini picks up the hearts and minds of the people she meets in the Ministry of Magic as she walks after Uphilia. What I feel is the amount of "normal”. And the next most common is "off", which can be divided to say "hit” to give way to one step.

However, this task had placed a significant burden on Raini. There were times when the consciousness was blurred, and there were times when things seemed blurred. Every time I consume magic and regenerate myself, I feel tired.

Nevertheless, the magic continued to be consumed, so Raini had to stop spraying the fog where he caught sight of the reaction of the dizzying person.

"... are you okay? Raini."

"... Fine, I'm tired"

I guess Ufiria quickly realized that Raini had stopped spraying the fog. Enter the blind spot to avoid the eyes and reach out to guide Raini.

Raini's cheeks were so feverish that Ufiria's hands felt limp. Where I can't see it, I'm scratching my sweat. It is visible and obvious that it was an act that required so much concentration.

"... it's not a complimented use..."

"What are you talking about? There are many things that can be applied with that power.... because that's what you did for me. And most importantly, I allowed it. Be confident, Raini."

"... Yes"

Raini suggested a way to use vampire mental interference to sort out the people in the Ministry of Magic who could be on his side.

Preliminary stage of mental interference. Instead of manipulating the other person's mind, he resonates with himself by touching it and absorbs it. It was Raini's suggestion to set the course from that extracted information.

It was Raini's overwhelming determination to say that if emotions didn't make things better, he could help himself to solve them.

Initially, Anisphere and Uphilia opposed this. If you do poorly, you may be noticed that Raini is a vampire. You can't let Raini make such a danger, he said.

On the contrary, it was Ilia who pushed Raini's back. Ilia listened to Raini and agreed with Raini as she stood between the opposing Anisphere and Uphilia.

At present, Anisphere and Uphilia, who did not have the means to open it, allowed Reini to read his mind so that he could take root in Reini's persuasion. This is the sequence of history so far.

"You did a great job. Leave it to me."

As she stroked Raini's back as she labored, Uphilia was determined to squirm in her eyes.

"Miguel, I need a favor."

"This is, this is... Princess Uphilia, what can I do for you? At the princess's request, no matter what!

"Then let me prepare a list of Magic Ministry personnel, a background, and then a sketch. As soon as possible, as quickly as possible."

"This is also in a large order"

Office for Uphilia temporarily prepared in the Ministry of Magic. Uphilia had summoned Miguel to that room and had informed him of his request.

Miguel shows his shoulders flaunted by the request he received from Uphilia. I can see interesting, then entertaining emotions on that face.

"You mean it's gonna collapse in earnest?

"Yep. That's why I want information. Can you give me a hand?

"For cheap. Rewards?"

"... what do you want?

"I hope to be close to Baroness Cyan next time, if you will."

Miguel is gazing at Raini without breaking his grin. Raini seems to take a step back by distorting his expression only slightly when seen from Miguel. But I can't stand pulling my legs back with all my strength in my belly.

Although Ufiria frowns only for a moment at Miguel's response, she immediately nods back to her usual expression.

"To have me or Annis present. If so, let's have a personal tea party."

"I got in!

With a full smile, Miguel accepted a request from Uphilia.

The weakness of Uphilia in common with Anisphere, which is the weakness of the connections and lack of information. You have to find an ally to make up for this.

Think about Raini's mind reading and Miguel's ability to gather information to gather his allies. That was the conclusion that Uphilia and the others had drawn.

(Together with Raini's "hit” and Miguel's intelligence gathering, he creates the foundation to create my faction. That's what I'm supposed to do)

The main cause of the problems of the Ministry of Magic lies in the accumulation of fear and antipathy towards Anisphere. The reason for her fear of the Anisphere is that she shows up as threatening many things such as the beliefs, thoughts and positions of the Ministry of Magic. But from those who do not neglect the Anisphere, it can be said that it is just fine.

The whole organization is not necessarily moving with a unified idea. Still, the policy of the organization wears color glasses to those who belong to it. That's why they think that as long as it's the Ministry of Magic, they'll be treated cold by the Anisphere.

Even Uphilia, who sees herself with such an anisphere, doesn't open her mind easily. Such a current situation has created a stalemate. That stagnation turns the Ministry of Magic into a poison that brings it closer to a crisis of collapse.

It is impossible and unacceptable for Uphilia to overlook it.

(If you're saying the organization leans, you need someone to rebuild. To be the flag, that's what I do)

I think the collapse would have begun sooner or later if it had been established that Anisphere would be king.

Anisphere has not made the collapse good. But that's all I can choose for Anisphere. Ufiria regains her temper that's why she stood up.

"Anis is starting to move. Even I can't... lose."

Restructuring of the Ministry of Magic. Once again, set your own goals, saying that this is what you should do.

Throughout its long history, the nobility of the Kingdom of Palletia has made it worthwhile and admirable to be able to use magic and to be an excellent user. And it was the Spirit who gave it its value and affirmed it.

Therefore the Spirit is a venerable being. It may have been a natural flow for the Spirit's view to change that way.

To the aristocracy, the Spirit is a great being that must be honored. That is also equal to God. No, it's even said that, rather, the Spirit is what God has changed his appearance.

For the record, the Spirit Contractor and the Great Spirit may have acted like God in various places, so that they may be told. Although the truth is uncertain.

Let's get back to it.

For the Ministry of Magic, in other words, for those who deeply believe in the Spirit Faith, there is no recognition of the Spirit as defined in Anispheric magic. If we admit what Anisphere says, it will lead us to deny the existence that guides us. That's what I think.

Still, I was stuck with the facts. How much was the impact? Even Ufiria couldn't hide her shock. If you were a regular person, you wouldn't be blamed for panicking.

(It's easy if you just break it. But neither I nor Anis want that)

It would be a great opportunity to simply dismantle an organization called the Ministry of Magic.

But there's no reason to want it to collapse, and it's the way Uphilia thinks that makes it difficult. There is no other way for the current order to change than for Anisphere to have uncovered and made public the truth about the Spirit covenant.

What Uphilia should do is to be a bridge between the new and the old. For this reason, it is not good if the Spirit Faith is constant. I just strongly believe that we have to change the way it is.

The Spirit is not an absolute being, but it is definitely our neighbor. Because it is the other person who can be called the half of the soul.

Prayer for the Spirit is something that returns to you like a matching mirror. If you can't believe it, it'll break, and if you can poke it through, it'll be the truth. The Spirit does not guide. I want you to ask the Spirit and get answers so he can think that he is the one who is precious.

At the end of it, Anisphere and Uphilia believe that the path is waiting for magic and magic to join hands.

There is no need to rebel. As long as we can hold hands together, we'll be fine. You don't have to be afraid. There are no enemies. First off, we have to get out of fear or we won't talk.

The current Ministry of Magic needed a guide and an understander. That's why Uphilia has to get an endorser. But you can't even make it rampant. Because the words of Ufiria are like thunder to the Ministry of Magic today.

We have all the cloth stones for it. It was with Raini's devotion that Ufiria could not waste this path, a glimmer of light.

"... wait, Anis"

I'll catch up with you soon. Yes. Uphilia shrugged small as she swore to herself.

Uphilia Fez Palettia. Her standing, welcomed as an adopted son by the royal family, will be that of a special adviser to the Ministry of Magic. This is a position comparable to that of Anisphere, who was asked by the Ministry of Defense to wave exploitation under Lord Grants.

It was those within the Ministry of Magic who had relatively little objection to Anisphere that Uphilia gathered in her own office. But the color of nervousness is dark with them. I can't help it because I'm in a position where I might not be able to turn my white eyes right now just because of the title of belonging to the Ministry of Magic.

They could well be described as neutral and, worse still, opportunistic forces. Inside such a Ministry of Magic, they were shaders, and they could not hide their confusion as to why they were being summoned by Princess Uphilia.

"Relax first. Raini, bring him some tea."

"Yes, Master Uphilia"

Raini, who refrains beside Uphilia, behaves with tea to those who have been gathered together in a courtesy. If Raini also hears the rumors, he doesn't even know why she's here as a Ufirian samurai.

Anxiety crawls over if you also continue to be confused. Strangely, however, I feel that if I mouth the tea Raini put in, the tension will be relieved, and their expressions will only unravel a little.

"I know what you're worried about right now. An organization called the Ministry of Magic was too inclined to the Spirit Faith. As a result, I could not recognize Anis. Wouldn't that result in cold treatment from her and loss of her current status and many other things? I think that's what you think."

And all those who were slammed with the stars turned away from Uphilia.

They, who had decided to be opportunistic, could not be on the side of Anisphere. I didn't even want to be an enemy.

But isn't it strange to be seen as an enemy by Anisphere in the brackets of an organization called the Ministry of Magic? Just being in the Ministry of Magic might put you in a position to be treated cold, too. That was a terrible thing for them.

"Let me tell you something tough, but I think that's the result of your choice. You didn't want to actively deny Annis, but you didn't try to reach out. Take only your own hands now, that would be a good story for bugs. So I want to talk about this more than I've ever talked about before."

"... from now on, is it?

Uphilia's harsh words bit her lips and stirred up defiance. But I unwittingly gavel at the words of Uphilia that follow.

"Yes, please be honest. Can I trust that Anise won't treat you cold? Whatever the answer is, I'll swallow it and show you."

"... then sweeten to your words. I can't trust Princess Anisphere. It's hard to talk in the first place."

"Is it difficult?"

"Because Princess Anisphere did not treat her coldly, because she would not if those who follow her to Princess Anisphere told her not to. Those who support Princess Anisphere will not be able to enter the Ministry of Magic without choosing their words."

No matter how much Anisphere says, it doesn't always mimic it around.

It is with them that I feel that the Ministry of Magic has continued to be privileged. We even thought that was our pride. However, the wind is slightly disoriented even by the recent scandalous and shocking discovery.

"Yes. I am also gravely aware of that concern. But Anis won't stop anymore. Annis has heard a voice wanting herself. I know I don't have to stop wishing anymore. It is impossible to stop that step. Anise will be the forerunner of our time."

What they feared, which was opportunism, was not to break the backbone of the Spirit faith. Our position is threatened. I'm not the only one who's threatened with my position, I even get involved with my family. They have someone to protect.

They are in a position to muster respect simply by referring to the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time must take on the jealousy of it. That may deprive you of your advantage by the power of magic. That is what is horrible to them, and also the factor that prevented them from recognizing magic.

And now things are starting to happen that I was truly afraid of. Everyone has a dark look on their face.

"You can also choose the path of deference to Anis here, but that will be a betrayal for the Ministry of Magic for a few."

"... you're right"

"So I don't have any credibility either. No, I have no track record if you ask me if I can protect my family and clan, including you. Different?

Nobody answered Uphilia's question, and she became silent. That silence was the answer above all.

Uphilia nodded in response. - Yes, I was waiting for that, as I said.

"If so, I believe you should be empowered."

"... build strength, is it?

"If you can't rely on anyone to protect you, you just have to increase your own power. If you're an enemy, they think you're a threat, and if you're on your side, you're comfortable. Don't you think that would pave the way for dialogue? Above all, it will also protect your pride. You don't have to give in to magic or be hostile. You just have to shoulder to shoulder with magic."

So Uphilia looks over at everyone. Make sure everyone's attention is focused, Uphilia tells them.

"If Ennis gives power to people without power through magic, I will behave magically to those with power. My eyes cloud because I fear them. Why don't you bet on the possibility that now is the time for me to clear up that cloud?

"... do you have specific means?

And he that swallowed the lid, inquired of Uphilia. Take that gaze head-on and Uphilia answers.

"If you believe me. I'll do my best to show you the way."

The branches were shown here.
