Chapter 99: Magic Sword
[space_man][space_man]”Come to think of it, there’s something I’ve been wondering about.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld, who had been lying on the bed, said as he sat up. Marie didn’t stop sewing the gloves, but Moira stopped wiping the magic sword Healing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Moira, can you talk to the magic sword Healing?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Hearing that, Marie stopped her work and looked at Moira. Moira, as if it was nothing, resumed wiping Healing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Yes, I can talk to her. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d be able to transfer magic power between magic swords.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I thought so. Then, can you also talk to Tempera and Meteor?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”……No, it seems I can’t.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira stopped wiping Healing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Is that so?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie asked.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Yes, she says so. But what’s the difference between you and the other two?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira gently stroked Healing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Eh…… What do you mean…… She’s gone silent……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira looked at the two, bewildered.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”She says that because she was the first one created, her consciousness remains. But what does that mean……?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”……It can only mean that she was created using something that originally had consciousness.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Even though he was the one who asked, Eld became afraid to inquire further. Perhaps Marie and Moira felt the same, as they remained silent.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]After a moment of silence, Marie finished the gloves and put them on.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Alright, feels good.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]She put gloves on both hands and opened and closed them to check the fit.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Eld, would you mind accompanying me tomorrow? I want to check if the magic circle is working properly.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Sure, no problem. Then let’s go to the Headquarters Guild after a long time. Their training grounds should be empty, right?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hey, hey. Can I come too?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira asked Marie.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Of course, you’re welcome to join us.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I wanted to see how strong Marie’s attacks are, so I wanted to be her opponent.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Eh? Are you planning to die?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld muttered at Moira’s words.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I want to see how strong my barrier magic is with her. Marie, you can launch some pretty strong attacks, right?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ah, I see…… No, no, I still think it’s dangerous.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld was almost convinced, but he couldn’t just ignore the fact that they were about to do something quite dangerous.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s alright, it’s alright. First, we’ll see how Eld handles it, and I don’t intend to attack with full force right away.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira said with a laugh.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld and Marie looked at each other and nodded, realizing they had no choice but to make sure it wasn’t too dangerous.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]As the sun set, the three left the room to go out for dinner, and there they found a man who had just brought a trunk. Apparently, he had come to collect the cash-on-delivery payment. Eld took out his wallet and paid the man, and the three headed out for dinner.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Afterward, Moira said she wanted to look for the same glasses as Marie’s and they went to about ten stores, but they couldn’t find them.
