Use "mass blockade" to get out of the city with Lavia.

Walking along the street for a while before going off the streets —— over some kind of hill, coming directly out of the street into the invisible.

Surrounded by a plain of shrubs. There are bugs and birds, but I don't see any monsters for now.

Even when a monster comes, it's easy to disappear because there are so many obstacles. Once in the blind spot, we can get away with "mass blockade".

"Hikaru, how far is this meadow spread?

"Though there are some ups and downs, you have to spend a whole day with a horse."

"So... wow..."

The wind blows and slips through between the hikals.

I would have fooled Lavia's silver hair before. But now she wears a hunting cap and short hair. That was just a little lonely sight.

"... That's a little hot"

The sun is strong. Hikaru thought he needed clothes besides his "black" top and bottom.

"What do we do now? Magic...... use?

"Before I do, I want you to show me your soul card, okay?"

"Of course."

[Soul card]

[First Name] Lavia

[Record] Temple of Tumuguielka, Kingdom of Pawnsonia

[Divine] Festival of the Sun God (6)

[Occupation] - - -

I thought it wasn't like an adventurer guild card.

Here's what Hikaru's card looks like.

[Adventurer Alliance Card]

[First Name] Hikaru

[Record] Pawnsonian Kingdom Pond Adventurer Guild

[Rank] G

[Occupation] Hidden God: The Dark One

"Lavia...... the name"

"Ah."

"Morgustat," Lavia's family name, is disappearing.

…………

Lavia has been staring at the soul card for a while,

"... because I am free"

"Right."

"So why did Hikaru want to see the card?

I guess I've already blown up about the Count's house.

"I wanted to see what was going on with the 'profession' part. —— Before that, by the way, what's the 'divine' number?

"I think it's the number of donations to the festival"

"Donation?"

"When I make a donation to the annual festival at the temple, it puts a history on my soul card. The Sun God has faith in it."

Hikaru will. Through the "profession" of soul and guild cards, you can certainly benefit.

But there is no "middleman" there. There's no such thing as getting a donation and getting me into a "profession".

"Hey, that 's--"

"It's probably just a convenience to make money."

"Do you realize that?"

"That's right. All the great men of the temple wear good clothes, things that are fat"

…………

Thank you. The inside of the temple seems to be rotten.

I hope it has nothing to do with Hikaru.

"Okay. So what do you have in 'profession'? I don't seem to be making any choices right now."

"Uh... you know, Hikaru?

"What?"

"Don't hit me, okay?

Lavia wrote it out where the ground was exposed.

[Ordinary Spirit Magic Servant God: Primary Spirit Wizard]

[Wide-area Noble Blood Redemption God: Knobless]

[Magic Creator: One who challenges the reason of magic]

[Flame Spirit God: Flame Maygas]

"It feels like..."

Looking all the way through, Hikaru nodded.

"What's" magical reason "?

"What, there?

"I'm curious."

Lavia's soulboard had a point swinging at "Magic Reason," 2 too.

Roland's knowledge was there when it came to magic, but he seemed so self-taught that by the way he felt there was a lack of knowledge. Knowledge is not systematic. It's amazing what you're digging deep into.

"Actually... I'm not familiar with it either. Because magic just grew on its own."

"On your own? What's this all about?

"Will you see my magic before I explain it?

Hikaru nodded. Because that is also the purpose for which I came here today.

"... Phew"

Magic is —— most magic refers to "spiritual magic".

The idea is that its backbone is the "Spirit," which makes up the nature of this world.

"Spiritual Suitability" on the Soulboard. It is believed that the spirits of these four elements exist so that the types ahead are "fire," "wind," "earth," and "water".

"Interfering with the Spirit" by mediating "own magic" causes a "supernatural phenomenon" is called spiritual magic.

On the other hand, some things are like healing magic. That's what Paula uses. This means "doubling the opponent's natural healing power" by "interfering with the opponent" using "own magic" as a mediator.

Spirit magic was just different from the person who interfered, and the magic power used itself was the same.

"'Answer my call, Spirit. Burn it down with the first light." "

Now, to use spiritual magic, you'll need a chant of spells.

It was common sense that this seemed to be a wording arranged by the Spirit and man in the ancient days of Tai, absolutely immutable.

As for Hikaru, there's something called "magical creation" before "spiritual aptitude" on the soul board, so "it's definitely not immutable, is it?" but aside from that.

What Lavia pronounced is the same magic East unleashed on Hikaru.

That was just to unleash the magic close to the "fire" spirits that were pre-enshrined in the ring--though.

The moment Lavia finished chanting, a fireball about 3 metres in diameter appeared over her.

Stagnant.

That alone is hot enough to make Hikaru's skin burn properly.

Fireballs fly forward. The fire spread like a water balloon fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the heated air rises and sucks in ambient air like a vacuum.

The fire rises as a vortex-wrapped firepillar —— its height reached as high as five meters.

That's how the fire went out.

The grass has not been burned, except where it first spread.

This early summer, blue grass —— the moisture-smoking grass was completely carbide.

"... this is the 'firebrace'. It's elementary magic among fire magic (...)"

Lavia said with a face like a child who did something wrong and was blamed for it.

"Shit, this is... I imagined it, but I'm actually surprised to see it."

"Imagine... were you?

"Well."

Lavia's "spiritual aptitude" and "fire" were 5.

There is the mysterious skill "Magic Reason" 2.

C-rank adventurer Nogsa's "sword" was 4 and "dirt" was 3. Assuming the heroic Unken of the Redemption is "Little Sword" 6, it would mean that "5" is quite something.

Although, of course, it is a completely different kind of level in "armed proficiency" and "spiritual aptitude".

"So Hikaru thinks of me... fearless? Aren't you afraid?"

"Of course."

————

I put my hand on my chest, and I exhaled for a long time, Lavia.

"... good. I was really nervous. When I saw this power, Hikaru... said he might leave me."

"That's not true"

It's not a direct attack that it's Hikaru's "secret," but to a much worse degree than Lavia's magic.

"Hikaru......"

Lavia held Hikaru's hand and put her forehead against Hikaru's chest. The hunting cap with the twist is about to come off.

"... I'm glad you helped. Thou shalt not be afraid of me. I'm not going anywhere...... right?

"I'm not going. I promise."

"Hikaru......"

Hikaru wanted to kiss Lavia, who looked up at Hikaru with her moist eyes, but

"--Somebody's coming this way. They may have seen the magic. Let's run."

We activated "mass blockade" and left the scene.

"How many shots can you shoot for the magic you just did?

Hikaru hesitated as he walked.

"Well... no rest, maybe 30 shots"

"That's amazing. Can I use magic, too?

"There are basically no people without magic, so I think you can train them..."

Then Hikaru stopped and chanted the "Firebrace" spell.

…………

…………

"... I'm not answering"

"Right. If we don't deepen our relationship with the Spirit or practice about magic releases, we can't usually do it."

"Usually? Was Lavia different?

"I 'm-- yeah, I'm not."

I was trying to tell you, but Lavia told me if you didn't even want to hide it.

The first time she noticed her magical aptitude was when she was 6.

She was also at the residence of Count Morgstadt at that time. As the daughter of the 2nd Lady.

The incident occurred when a horse came by her side.

I stepped on something like a nail and the horse got excited and rammed. Aya touches Lavia and causes her injury —— when Lavia released the magic that was asleep in her body.

Mere magic release. That's only powerful enough to change the ambient air, like when Hikaru first met Lavia in the dungeon.

But it was too much magic. And the horse passed out, and the men that were with him fell down.

Just one, Lavia stood.

Then the Count, knowing the power of Lavia, decided to let him use his magic.

It was bound goblins and large beasts that were brought before her. I used some spiritual magic spells and the "fire" went well with it. Instead, I could use fire magic even though I didn't study or train anything. And even with mighty power.

The kind of monster that was brought in was shorted of breath in one shot.

It was the Count and his family who feared. I quarantined Lavia and forbade all going out. If Lavia gets busted, he can't deal with it in a half-breed person. It was not until this time that I made the knight an escort. Except it wasn't to protect Lavia, it was to protect the Count from Lavia himself.

The Count seemed to be working out how to use her while placing Lavia under house arrest.

Hikaru felt that the beginning of the war in the Kingdom of Pawnsonia was also the idea of Count Morgustadt —— that.

How can you treat your own daughter like a tool, like that?

Though my chest was blocked when I thought of Lavia's predicament so far, I switch my mind that I should have fun from now on.

"Lavia. How far can you interfere with the magic of 'Firebrace'?

"Interference?"

"It's the same magic East unleashed on me, right? But that wasn't like a controlled fireball like Lavia. I simply burned the grass around it."

"If that's the case... I think we can adjust the appearance position or the direction of flying. But the amount of magic used is constant, and this cannot be changed."

"Hmmm... you use the same amount of magic, but in Lavia's case, the fireballs that appear are huge."

"I think that's why they expected it as' force of war '"

I see, Hikaru thought. "Fire" 5, huh? The more this goes up, the bigger the fireball becomes —— the higher the fire magic can be used with the same amount of magic.

I don't even know what war is like in this world, but magic is probably calculated as a pretty high power. Suppose the earlier Lavian "firebrace" comes down 30 shots without rest, it would be desperate from the other soldier.

"So can we change the shape of the fireball? Or compress or diffuse."

"... I never thought about that"

"Next time I get a chance, I'll try. Unfortunately, it's too conspicuous to investigate here."

Nearby was the meadow.

Two little birds chirp, twitching and flying together.

I'm not even willing to burn this place again.

"Another opportunity to test your 'profession' abilities..."

"Hehe."

"Mm-hmm. What's up?

"Hikaru is like a scholar. 'Verification' or 'investigation'."

"Really? Don't you feel bad if you don't get rid of your doubts?"

"Somewhat, but not as obsessive as Hikaru"

"That's right. I had another question--"

"Hehe."

"... sorry, shall we do it next time?

"It's okay. Ask a question. I said to Hikaru," I will give you everything. "My experience, my knowledge, I raise it all."

Hikaru turns to direct Lavia favors.

"Then don't hesitate to ask. —— Did you have that much magic from the start?

What bothered Hikaru was that Lavia's soulboard had zero points. The rank is "6" probably because he killed the monster he was brought to. Hikaru also doesn't think it's about letting a young girl do it though the experiment, but whatever the point of her soul board was shaken by "magic power" and "fire" at some point in time.

"No. I've hardly had a chance to use magic, but sometimes, I feel like it's increasing"

Lavia's "magic power" item on the soul board was a high figure of 11.

Even though Firebrace is elementary magic, it will depend on the height of this magic amount to be able to shoot 30 shots without a break.

"Did you do anything special?

"No."

"Right..."

Automatically the point was shaken, is that it? I guess that's how the soul board thinks in the first place.

Human potential is the "point". This increases at the same time as age and also increases the rank of the soul.

If you have excelled in that person, your strength will be multiplied in a way like "talent". The point is shaken.

In Lavia's case, it would mean that only the talent of spiritual magic grew rather biased.

Still, it seems to me like some kind of curse to be poured into magic until the person's potential is 0.

"Have you solved the question, Doctor?

Lavia asks as she glances at Hikaru's face. It also seems to tease.

"The mystery only deepens. That's why it's fun to think, Lavia."

Hikaru returned at --.

"Mm."

"What's going on?

"Quiet, there he is..."

"He?"

Hikaru discovered that he was on a slope about 100 meters away, doing a fugofugo with his face stuck in the root of the grass, an example of a red horn.

"Let's knock him out and go. I'm gonna make a little money."

"What is that... a rabbit?

"Redhorn Rabbit. Can you wait here?

"Not if I go, too?

"... I don't mind. Don't let go of me."

What got Hikaru lost for a moment was wondering how to show Lavia the act of simply approaching him and stabbing him with a short knife.

Some people also see it as "cruel".

Lavia was also caught magically killing irresistible creatures such as bound goblins and animals. Isn't that a hard past for her?

But "I want to adventure," Lavia said. Then you also naturally have to get used to killing creatures to get consideration. I thought it was weird to be concerned now.

Hikaru approaches Redhorn Rabbit after activating "mass blockade".

The distance shrinks quickly.

Slip from behind. Redhorn Rabbit shook his body in fright, but quickly relaxed.

"... wow"

That's all Lavia said. I'm not feeling any better or more shocked than I need to be.

He seems somewhat upset, but "wow" would be Hikaru's praise for "hiding".

Hikaru thought it seemed fine to venture with him if his spirit was so stable.

……

Hikaru then noticed the dirt where the Redhorn Rabbit was sticking his head in.

(Is this... Could it be the ecology of Redhorn Rabbit?... Well, from what I've learned, it doesn't matter because I'm a "secret" blow)

"? Hikaru, what's wrong?

"Nothing. —— This guy just drains blood and takes the whole thing home"

"Not heavy?

"One or so would be fine"

That's why I'm swinging one on my muscle mass.

Lavia looks at Hikaru in surprise, packed in a bag and gently lifted.

"Well, let's go home then --"

The sky is gradually dyeing in the dark.

It was when Hikaru was about to say so.

"Mmm."

Someone runs out of the woods in sight.

Just like that.

"... dude"

She (...) looks back into the woods, putting up a mace and chanting magic. My people jump out —— green giants, as the Forest Barbarians chase me.

It was Paula and the others.
