𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟒: 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚
Walking home with Meisha, laughing and chatting, we saw a white smoke-like object rising with a tremendous explosion sound.
In the direction of the Clan House.
ㅤ
After a momentary glance at each other, Meisha and I started to run.
Is it an attack?
ㅤ
However, to make a long story short, the Clan House was safe.
When we asked Asuka and Meg, who were surprised and came outside, the sound seemed to have come from much further away.
ㅤ
In the meantime, something came floating down the river, which is considered as the mother river for our [Hope].
Well, not something, but Miliaria and Salieri.
Floating like a barrel.
ㅤ
“Hey, wait!”
ㅤ
There was no time to explain.
Asuka and I jumped into the river and somehow pulled the two out.
ㅤ
Without delay, Meisha used her healing magic on the two.
A highly effective healing magic that she has only recently become able to use due to her recent accomplishments. It’s so potent that it can even reattach severed arms and legs, a magic that wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Archbishop-class.
ㅤ
In other words, the two were in such a state that it had to be used.
Both of them.
They were in such a bad condition, it’s a wonder they were still alive.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .There are no enemies.”
ㅤ
Meg, who had been cautiously scouting around, reported.
I nodded slightly, focusing on Meisha’s treatment.
ㅤ
Their clothes were torn and they had severe burns, probably from a magic attack. But to inflict such damage on a magician and a magic swordsman, who is the enemy?
ㅤ
Eventually, the treatment finished, and all the wounds of Miliaria and Salieri disappeared.
It couldn’t fix their clothes, though.
ㅤ
“Phew. Without a helmet, it would have been instant death.”
ㅤ
Meisha made a mysterious joke while wiping the sweat that had broken out on her forehead.
What’s with the helmet?
Neither of them had been wearing such a thing from the start.
ㅤ
Well, it means she’s finally in a state where she can crack a light-hearted joke.
Until just a moment ago, her face had a desperate look.
That’s how desperately she was using the healing magic.
ㅤ
“Mei. Candy.”
“Thanks a lot.”
ㅤ
Asuka tossed a candy into Meisha’s mouth and offered her shoulder to the shaky girl, leading her into the Clan House.
There was no point in staying outside forever. Holding Salieri in my arms, and with Meg carrying Miliaria on her back, we headed towards the house.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Eventually, when I heard from the two who had regained consciousness, it turned out that it was not an enemy attack or anything like that.
Surprisingly, it seems they were conducting a magic experiment.
ㅤ
They were inflicted with near-fatal injuries, blown away by a power far beyond what they had imagined.
What a ridiculous thing to do.
ㅤ
Meisha was so dumbfounded that she said something like, “I shouldn’t have healed them,” and went back to her room.
That shows how worried she was.
ㅤ
Miliaria and Salieri, you should apologize to Meisha later, okay?
ㅤ
“Yes. . . . . . .”
“We are reflecting.”
ㅤ
Anyway, the whole incident started when Miliaria, who was cooking lunch, made a trivial discovery.
ㅤ
You know how a droplet of water splashes and pops when it falls into a hot frying pan?
If it splashes on your hand, it’s incredibly hot.
She thought it would be amazing if this momentum could be recreated with magic.
ㅤ
So, they tried to clash Salieri’s “Fire Lizard’s Tongue,” a spear of extreme heat that can turn a human into a charred lump in an instant, and the “Ice Sphere,” which can instantly freeze a human into an ice sculpture.
ㅤ
“And then, a massive explosion happened.”
ㅤ
Considering how she’s talking foolishly as always, yet shaking terribly, it seems she was quite scared.
ㅤ
“The amount of magic power probably inflated to about two thousand times in an instant. We were blown away without understanding what had happened.”
ㅤ
Miliaria also looks pale.
I don’t understand much about magic, but it seems the energy of the Icicle Lance exploded after increasing by two thousand times.
ㅤ
“It’s beyond imagination.”
“We accidentally created an outrageous new magic.”
“If we use it in real battles, it’ll be a massacre. It’s dangerous.”
ㅤ
When I asked if they could die from using it, it seems it depends on where the two magics collide, so it could be controlled.
Indeed, there was a huge sound and smoke.
ㅤ
“It’s dangerous if used on people. But if used in an empty space for a demonstration, it might be okay.”
ㅤ
I cross my arms and hum.
ㅤ
That sound.
It would surely startle the horses.
Then, it might be useful for our current operation.
ㅤ
If we go boom in front of the Royal Army, who think we are outnumbered and are being careless, it could be quite a demonstration.
With their already low morale, if fear wins, they might all run away at once.
ㅤ
“Can you adjust that magic so that it doesn’t hit people?”
ㅤ
When I asked, I was told that it would be easy.
ㅤ
“By the way, the name is Flare Ticking Explosion, Mother Nel.”
ㅤ
Miliaria told me with pride.
My daughter really does come up with cool names.
It’s a good match for the Great Night Escape Operation.
ㅤ
“Don’t you think so, Salieri?”
“. . . . . . . . .”
ㅤ
Hey.
Why are you silent and looking away?
