23 Episode 23 "First Combined Magic (Proposal and Attempted)".txt

...... I'm sorry you had to go through that, Aine.

After hearing the story, Cecil looked at Aine, his eyes glazed over.

Aine, as usual, had a half-dazed look on her face.

What's the big deal?　I just didn't have anything else to do.

It's not true. The management skills of running that guild by yourself, the ability to talk to people, I'm no match for you. I think Aine is fully qualified to be a Chiitira. But ...... that

Cecil compared his height to Aine's and sighed.

In addition, she patted her own chest.

'Aine, you've been consulting with everyone in the guild, right?

Yeah?

...... Can you listen to me, too?

Cecil pulls Aine's hand to the corner of the warehouse.

The two of them are crouched together, mumbling something to each other. I can't quite hear them.

'...... breasts', 'family', '...... tiny', 'unsure ......'

But that's where it's good ......, Aine's good at babysitting, balancing nutrition, and seeing an opening .......

I'm hearing some very disturbing words.

'Um, what are you two talking about ......?'

We talked about it, okay, Nay.

Aine stands up, paying off her knees with a pop, pop, pop.

'Aine-san is a wonderful person!

Cecil is staring at Aine with a twinkle in his eye.

Her brown skin and red eyes are kind of glossy.

It was as if they were dreaming of a hopeful future.

I fully accept Aine-san. You should have Rita-san listen to me too!

'What?　Me too?　Well, ...... from Sekkaku Kudzu

Whispering, whispering, whispering.

Two slave girls crouched in the corner of a warehouse, forehead to forehead, discussing the matter.

...... cute clothes", "seduction", "I want to get closer", "I want to get closer", "I want to get some atmosphere ......

I'm a good seamstress, faking a coincidence to lure you into a locked room, and coordinating a room: ......

briskly

Rita looks back at me with great speed.

'Nagi!　You've found me an amazing man!　This guy should be one of us, I promise!

'So what the hell are you talking about!

Please don't leave my husband alone and let the three of us have a good time together.

You can call me Cecil. I'll call you Aine, too.

'You can call me Rita. I'll call you Aine, too.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Cecil and Rita.

with a grunt

The three of them held hands tightly.

A friendship had been established.

"For the sake of our happy future. For Nagi-sama.

"Oh,

No, it's good that we're getting along.

I'm getting strange chills.

It's like some kind of dangerous siege is being created .......

'Oh, yes. I forgot.

What's up, Rita?

''It doesn't really matter compared to what you just said, but it looks like the 'Noble Guild' is going to do a 'Demon Sword Search Quest'.

Is the story still going on?

Or rather, I had almost forgotten about the magic sword.

''In the first place, that was a quest that the members of the 'Commoner's Guild' started to improve their treatment, right?

''The 'Nobleman's Guild', the 'Iturna Order' and the former 'Commoner's Guild' all cooperated to get the magic sword and offer it to the king since they had prepared for it. The townspeople said that.

''It looks like we're going to have a town-wide commemorative parade in a few days to celebrate the search for the magic sword, and then everyone will be diving into the dungeon.

Cecil took over Rita's line.

Cecil's grip on the hem of my clothes is tight.

It's a habit of mine when I feel insecure. At this time, Cecil has a complicated look on his face.

The magic sword Regina Brass was summoned by the demon tribe, so he must be thinking about a lot of things.

''The Earl of the 'Noble Guild' said he's going to show his resolve. He said he won't step back until he gets the magic sword, or that he made a 'pact' with the 'Iturna Sect'.

Why would anyone want a magic sword?

'I thought you were going to present it to the king and have him raise the title?

Does Rita want a knighthood or something?

'I don't need it. All my significant others don't want that. I'd rather be lounging around with Nagi in my arms than spending my time trying to get a knighthood.

"I'm in full agreement with you, except for the fact that you're using me as a hug pillow.

If an unworthy person is forced to carry it, it will be ruined, right?　It doesn't make sense for someone who's already playing king to get it. I think it's better to be left alone, I think.

Yeah.

I'm not a hero, and I don't want to ruin you with it.

I want to stay out of it as much as possible. I don't want to get involved. ......

'I need everyone to help me with something.

It's not neat to leave the legacy of the demon race in this town.

I don't want to remember it one day and say "I should have retrieved it then and sealed it up after all".

Since it's Cecil, he'd be concerned if blood flowed over the magic sword.

Besides.

'I think I'd like to give the Count of the 'Noble Guild' a whirl before I leave town. So, let me ask Aine and Leticia, what is the Count like?

I'm a vain person.

Aine said.

'He's someone who won't allow himself to be at the center of the conversation.

Letitia said.

'He's so proud of his pride and the fact that the king trusts him.

'You're so proud of your ancestors who built this country with the king. That's why you're doing your adventurer's imitation.

Ine was always being pushed around because it worked on an idea.

You always seem to think you're the center of attention in this town. Isn't that what this parade is all about?

After all, maybe this Count guy wants to be a hero.

He was feeling adventurous and was following the quest.

When he was about to get his magic sword, he came to interfere in a hurry and crushed the 'Commoner's Guild'.

And now, while being protected by a large number of adventurers, he went to get the magic sword himself.

...... For example, if we held a parade with the whole town and entered the dungeon with a lot of adventurers in tow, but the crucial magic sword disappeared, it would be a huge red flag.

The more I think about it, the more I enjoy it.

This is just a hobby of mine - or rather, selfishness.

I want to take a shot at this Count guy for a bit before I go to the next town.

''Are you going to use the 'Demon Sword Summoning Scroll', Nagi-sama?

Yeah. Since we took the trouble to defeat the Angel Guardian, let's use it.

It took more than twice as long as a gargoyle, and I barely used my 'transcendental sense'.

This is the kind of reward you deserve.

''If Nagi-sama says so,''

Cecil took a scroll out of his backpack and held it out to me.

I held it up so that Rita, Aine and Leticia could see it.

'This is an inheritance I found in a wizard's mansion. I can't tell you the details, but that person was trying to obtain the magic sword Regina Brass. This is the result of this research.

This was what the Angel Guardian was guarding.

In the end, that wizard was obsessed with the magic sword until the very end.

He spent his whole life and all his energy to complete the magic formula to summon the magic sword.

However, by then, his body was too weak to summon it by himself, apparently.

''I will use this thing to get the magic sword Regina Brass to come to the upper level of the dungeon.

And seal it.

Throw it into the treasure chest in the basement of the mansion and leave it there.

All that's left is to have Cecil seal the entrance to the basement and no one will be able to touch it.

"The magic sword Regina Brass is a 'wandering sword' that moves around looking for its master, right?　Then let's get them to come up to the top floor. It's a pain in the ass to go down to the lowest level.

Cecil will show you how to use the scroll and give you detailed instructions.

''Yes. Well, this 'Demon Sword Summoning Scroll' is to open the 'Gate' and summon the demon sword close to you. A certain demon sword researcher spent his life developing it, but it has quite a strict condition.

Cecil, holding the scroll in both hands, begins to speak with a serious face.

There are only two conditions for summoning a magic sword.

Number one, the place of the summoning must be at the coordinates as close to the demon sword as possible.

Currently, the demon sword is near the lowest level of the dungeon. The best place to perform the ritual is directly above it.

In short, it's like dropping a fishing line and pulling it up.

Number two, the place of the summoning must be full of magic.

It's said that such a place is easier to stabilize the 'gate' for summoning.

Lastly, the magic capacity of the user of the scroll must be sufficient.

In other words, I guess that's how big of a magic it is. Even in games, summoning magic is usually at a high level. This magic is written in an ancient language, so it can only be used on Cecil. So if Cecil has enough magic power...

Therefore, my magic power might not be enough to justify it: ......

I'll be fine. I have an idea about that.

'Oh, well, that's a relief then!　That's Nagi indeed!

Oh, wait. That doesn't make me feel any better.

Letitia held up her hand.

'First of all, even if we don't question the source of that scroll, where's the guarantee that it's real?

I've verified the spell as written.

Cecil answers for me.

''The content was definitely about summoning a magic sword. It's a bit of a special language, so it's something that only a specialist wizard can understand: ......

Well, that's enough for now. Now, let's talk about the dungeon attack.

Coughing up a cough, Leticia scratched her blue hair.

''A room full of magic power right above the coordinates where the magic sword exists...''

On the third level of the dungeon, there are several springs that contain magical hot springs.

Aine followed Letitia's words.

''One of them must have been close to the coordinates of the magic sword that we found out from the detection magic, right above the coordinates of the magic sword. The magic sword's reaction was from around the southeast of the lower level of the dungeon, so .......

''There are three magic fountains on the third level: ...... The one closest to the coordinates of the magic sword is the one at the far end of the southeast, right?

You know what I mean, master.

I learned it when I was shown the material in The Common People's Guild.

I had some dungeon material in the archives.

I'm good at mapping.

When making a game, it's a pain in the ass to call up the dungeon maps for each one, and it's faster to get them all in your head.

So I think we can get to the third level or so ourselves.

What about time constraints?

''You mean we have to finish everything before the Count and the adventurers of the 'Noble Guild' and 'New Commoner Guild' come to the dungeon, right?''

One day, if possible. I'd like to get this done in less than two days, if it's possible.

'The first and second levels were weak monsters, right? I'll take care of this one. I've done something called anti-low level monsters before.

But the third level is a goblin den. How do we clear this place?

Use chanting magic.

I said.

Letitia's ...... and everyone's eyes glazed over.

Ah, I guess I didn't explain it well enough.

I was going to do this when I used the "Demon Sword Summoning Scroll". It's a trump card this time.

''To be more specific, it means that me and Cecil will use magic while merging together.

"Nah, nagi-mah!

Ah, I bit him.

For some reason, Cecil, who has turned bright red, is staring at me, shivering.

I didn't mean to say anything so amazing.

I think it happens a lot. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have the same thing.

In this case, it's a 'magic power combination' because they connect each other's magic power.

''If the two of us combine and share magic power, I think it will reduce the burden on Cecil. I'm going to do the same thing when I use the 'Magic Sword Summoning Scroll'. So when we use magic in the dungeon, me and Cecil will combine.

"Out in the open?

I know that there's a risk. But in the meantime, I'm gonna need some help.

In front of you?

Hopefully, this will speed up our dungeon attack. Hopefully, this will speed up our dungeon crawl. We'll show these demons what our newfound power is.

You dare to show me, show me, show me?

Of course, my magic power doesn't mean much. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea to make sure you have a good idea of what you're looking for.　If I stand in between and combine Cecil and Aine, our magic supply might be perfect.

'Nya, Nagi-sama! ............ naghihama...... naghihama......... ...ah.

Ah!　Cecil-chan, get a grip!

'With this, I should be able to use the 'Demon Sword Summoning Scroll' as well: ......

Nagi!　Stop it, Nagi, stop it!　Cecil-chan is at his limit!

...... Huh?

The next thing I know, Rita is looking at me with her eyes lifted up and her tail puffed out while she's looking at me.

Cecil is sitting there with a bright red face and his tiny body is shrinking even more.

Letitia is covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.

Aine is the only one who nods normally, but why does she look so curiously kind ...... when she says, "Aine takes it all in."?

"...... Huh?　By any chance, though. Isn't there any 'merging magic' in this world?

No?

Rita, you're not taking this to mean something else, are you?

What else do you mean, master? If the master insists on it, I'll cooperate with you, but I think that's too high a bar for Cecil-chan, isn't it, master? It's not so much that he's testing your loyalty and shame by saying such things openly in the presence of others, master. Is that the way to play it, my dear master?

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me just calm down and explain.

Combining magic is something I had in my game, a system where two people share their magical powers.

I got the idea when I was using Ability Rebuild.

I thought it might be possible to do the same thing in this world.

No problem. I'm thinking of combining magic for all ages.

No matter how tightly regulated it is, it's forbidden 15.

Properly, it's a level that can be broadcast in the evening room.

I sat back in my chair.

Then I began to speak.

The plan to capture the dungeon at high speed and summon the magic sword.

All about that trump card, the Combination Magic.
