“Chapter 315: Moonflower’s Descent”

There are several conditions needed for me to create something with magic.

I need to have a clear image of what I’m making. I need to have a perfect understanding of every single ingredient or material, including their texture, taste, effects on the body, etcetera.

It might seem like a crazy ability, but it’s more limited than I’d like.

Even if I tried to replicate Ralph’s sword or 7th Cycle, it would be a hollow imitation.

But there’s one weapon that I was responsible for.

Moonflower (Later baptized as Moonlight), the sword from the cold island of Shimazu.

Back then, Moonflower was in charge of the main work. Now, I’d have to recreate it by myself.

I vividly remember the feeling of all heat draining from my body. As if I had become a chunk of ice. My magic circuits were severely damaged afterwards.

I can’t forget the sensation.

– I know it’s unconventional, but if it works…

– If the whale’s insides are weak to low temperatures, we might have a shot.

Water can’t be defeated with swords or hammers, but ice can be destroyed. And so can the whale.

I asked Mira to collect a piece of meat from the whale.

– Just to be clear, this will put a tremendous burden on my magical circuits. I might not even be able to complete it. And, even if I do, there’s no guarantee that I’ll get to use my powers again for a long time.

– So we only got one chance…

– Exactly. Which is why I’ll use the piece of meat to test beforehand.

If there’s a time to risk my life, it’s now.

Recreating Moonlight from scratch…

I might reach the levels of The Creator himself if I succeed.

– Let’s call it a day. Every bit of rest we can get will be important.

I can’t believe the girl thought that far… Or did she?

I don’t know. But now we have a solid plan.

(???’s POV)

Takaya has fallen asleep.

– Red. Blue. Orange. Gold. Beautiful stripes.

– You’ve been working on those decorations for a while, so I’ll do you a favor and ask: What are you doing?

– What else but getting ready for the welcome party? We might get ourselves a new friend really soon~

– Frie- Don’t tell me it’s THAT guy.

– So what?

– I don’t care who you’re friends with, but I don’t like that guy.

– Aww, do you see yourself reflected on him? I couldn’t care less.

– Pft. Don’t compare me with the likes of him. He was so hesitant to kill the crazy girl.

– Really now? I remember finding you crying and beaten up in front of your classmates.

– Those were happy tears. I was crying because god had finally given me the power to take revenge with my own hands.

– If you say so.

I turned around and kept working on my confetti.

– You’re really going the extra mile. Do you really like him that much? Not that I care.

– Are you jealous? Wow, even you have a cute side.

– I said I don’t care… And even if I did, I just want to know what you find of use in that idiot.

– A lot. More than you, actually.

– Heeh, I see.

The image of Takaya was displayed on one of the many screens.

I can’t see his face due to his long bangs, but I wonder how he’s feeling right now.

– I’m going to sleep.

– You don’t want to help me?

– No. I’ve done those things in elementary school so much that I’m sick.

– You’re so dense. Listen, I’ll give you a little kiss if you help me.

– See you later.

I was left alone in the room.

– I gotta get ready as soon as possible. The fun is about to begin.
