After he showed me Kazuki's brave weapons, Senior Dog asked me to show him his assimilated condition with Ferm.
I knew seniors would be interested in me that way...
"But hey..."
"... what the hell"
If you look at the ferm properly, it will be returned with Zito's eyes.
Ferms don't seem to like being in that state, and you don't want to impose them.
Oh, yeah.
"Fermu, can you just arm?"
"... what? What do you mean, just arms?"
I raise my left arm to her tilting my neck. [M]
"Look, partially stick your magic to my arm, like"
"... if only in shape"
"Well, please."
……
Fermu, who became a facial expression, stretched the black magic of the dark lineage from his palm to my left arm, turning it into a cage hand with the same sharp shape as it did during the war, covering as much as my elbow.
"All right!"
A sharp black cage hand, reminiscent of a former black knight, in contrast to the silver cage hand on the right.
The senior who saw my left arm change tilted his neck with a smile.
"Hmm? Hmm?"
"Ugh, Usat! What's going on, it!"
"Do we now have the power of the dark magic of the Ferms? Later... Here's how..."
Turn the black caged hand covering your left arm into a sword that extends from your forearm.
Shakin, and show the two of you a sword stretched out with a light sound.
"You can change shape like a sword."
"You can do that too! Cool!"
Having made me feel better about Kazuki, who nodded admirably, I decided to explain the moves that could be activated in this state.
"Huff, because of this, the moves you unleash with this, Darkne -"
"Healing rupture slaughter. Isn't that right, Usat?"
"Eh."
"Right?"
"... Yes"
Nair correcting to taste good.
With her cold eyes, I had to drop my shoulder and snort heavily.
I guess I should have kept it 'Dark Sword/Healing Fierce Wave'......
"In the meantime, here's the thing"
"Hey, hey...!"
Trying to cut the story off, the senior finally made a move.
"Usato!? With Doyuko!?"
"Well, no, so it feels like I owe the magic of the Ferms."
"Normally you can't borrow someone else's magic!?"
"That's the real question."
Snort through Nair over his shoulder.
Sure, you didn't explain me enough.
"As Ferm lives here, her dark magic traits change from 'inverted' to 'assimilated', right? That 'assimilation' is fusion with others? With the ability to assimilate, I was able to use the help of the Ferms."
"Yugou? Roboto? Henkay?"
First, around that phrase comes out, I can tell the genre of animation that seniors were watching in the original world.
"No, not robots or anything, but Fermu's assimilation with me has enabled me to use my abilities."
"... no, wait, I get it. You know what I mean? But instinct, or the brain's refusal to understand...!"
"... um, what an expression..."
As I twisted my head at the senior holding my head, I couldn't watch, and Fermu walked up to me.
When he looked at his face, his eyes were jit and his mouth was a letter to, and he looked so grumpy that he could see it.
"Ferm?"
"You'd be quicker to actually show it."
"Yeah, but you don't want to..."
"Fine! Grow up!"
With or without it, Fermu, who said so to me, took a small, deep breath, and then closed his eyes.
Then her body is sucked into the shadow at her feet, overflowing with black colored magic from where the shadow was.
Seniors and Kazuki marvel at the ferm that disappeared in front of them.
"" Huh!? "
The shadow of Fermu's disappearance moves the ground like a creature, and as he enters my shadow, he transmits his legs and covers his body.
Since he is not wearing a team uniform, he changes to a shape like a black racing suit all over his body except for the caged hand on his left arm and armor on both legs.
'assimilation' with Ferm.
The way she fought, made possible by her perverted properties.
It is also a state in which I and Fermu can fully exert their power.
But...
"I'm suddenly surprised..."
"If you look closely, you feel more involved than assimilated..."
Even for me, it's bad for my heart to be assimilated all of a sudden.
I don't feel uncomfortable about anything, but there is something called mind preparation.
"This is faster"
"I can't help it at all..."
The echoed voice of Ferm echoes from inside of me.
"Ugh, Usat, you and Ferm merged!?"
"Wow, what's going on..."
In the meantime, would you like to explain to the two surprised people how I am?
Briefly explain to seniors and Kazuki Fermu's 'assimilation' dark magic and the benefits from it.
"I see, I mean, that figure is a state of dark magic wrapped around the Ferm..."
That's how you squeal, Jito. Senior who looks at me with his eyes.
No heart, or its gaze seems to be set.
"What, what?"
"I envy you! Usato!"
"Yep..."
Words as expected in a way, but not from jealousy, tense words and actions I take a step back.
"You can now deal with that power by merging with Fermu!?"
"Yeah, well, assimilation to be exact..."
"Put Nair the Demon on your shoulder and wrap even the Demon Ferm around it as magic, or whatever happens, that's what happens! It's complicated for me to equip a girl, but I envy you more than that!"
He said, "Huh? Huh?" I can only return a gavel like that.
I knew this tension, but I couldn't handle it.
Kazuki can't count on it because he's watching with a frantic grin behind him.
"So, Ferm! Me and Fusion!"
What "so” was, a little away from me, the senior spread his arms wide with a full eye of anticipation.
Are you trying to assimilate with Fermu fluidly?
... Well, I know seniors use dark magic stronger than I do, so shall I give Ferm a try?
"I can't."
"Why!?"
They turned me down on the fast track.
Ask Ferm as he sees a severely upset senior.
"Fermu, why can't you?"
'Cause my magic refuses. After that, Suzune usually comes from the wussai, I can't'
"Guha!?"
"Se, senpai!?"
Seniors falling behind like something you can't see blows you away.
No, I guess I jumped myself.
Instead, why would you want to do a gag character move?
Rushing toward him and hugging him, the senior grinned and stood up shaking his legs.
"Heh, heh, my heart won't break to this extent...! I mean, you just have to break the walls of Ferm's heart...!"
"No, let me open my mind normally..."
"The inexorable Suzune alias is not Dada...!"
When did they call you...?
He's assimilating with me, and he's pulling Nair on his shoulder.
"Suzune is just a shame, not a brave man..."
"What the hell..."
Even if I hear those two words, I won't snap, seniors.
When she stopped at me, she looked at the cage hand on her left arm and the leg armor on both legs and let her eyes shine.
"Those legs, your left arm! You look just like the Black Knight!"
"Right.... Speaking of which, Ferm. Did you decide on this shape?"
Asking Ferm, who is within, she replies without looking particularly lost.
'No, I just took it personally. Maybe the Black Knight was a strong impression on me? No other intention.'
I see. Sure, the black knight looks longer for the period he was wrapped up in.
Maybe the shape of this armor will also gradually change as she lives in the lifeguard?
That's it, don't feel like looking at it.
"Wrap up the armor of the once hostile Black Knight...! That's just a burning development...!"
"Usat. I don't know what this guy is saying..."
I don't know what to do, I get it.
And they noticed, 'If you ask me...'
... and anyway, to lower the seniors' tension, explain that what they are now is not intentional, but something that has been made of accidents.
"No, you know, even for me and Ferm, I didn't make this look like a prediction. In the midst of a dispute with Koga, it was like an accident, so to speak."
"I mean, not intentionally, but with an unexpected appearance and…?"
……
No!? The more I explain, the more romantic attributes are added to me!?
I want to deny it, but nothing else will convince me and embarrass me...!
"And anyway! Explain what we can do now!"
Let's move on to the ability description before we are exposed to any more shame.
Stay away from seniors and Kazuki so there is no danger.
"First of all, you can change the shape of the magic of dark magic as your primary ability."
"When it comes to the shape of magic, is that what it is like to be a black knight?"
"Yep. For example... Ferm"
"Okay."
Speaking to Ferm, his left arm, covered in dark magic cage hands, deforms.
He deforms it into a weapon several times, like a sword or a shield, and turns back to Kazuki with his senior.
"Here's the thing. On the battlefield, you can ride Burlin's back and make his armor or something. Well, to a certain extent, if you recognize that it's an accommodating ability to shape, you'll be fine."
"Deformation that can accommodate all phases...... Unlike me and you, Kazuki, your... no, you're the only way to fight."
"It's not that big of a deal. Most of it doesn't work, so it turns out to be fists."
Rather, I feel it would be more convenient for me to deform it into a shield, a hammer, or a stick, rather than a sword or something.
It will help a little bit.
"Oh, and you can now perform a magic outburst all over your body"
"... whole body?"
Oh, you should supplement this.
They think I'm being impotent again.
"Being assimilated to dark magic seems to be the same as when you're wearing this cage, so no matter how much magic you burst, I won't hurt myself."
To try it, go to a nearby tree and roll out a healing flying fist with your left arm.
Shockwaves of fist magnitude emitted along with bursting noises from the black cage hand strike directly at the tree.
Return your gaze from the tiny, swinging tree to seniors and Kazuki.
"Later, you can activate it on the soles of your feet to increase jumping power or use it for acceleration."
"... that means we can move boosts, right?"
"I don't know, but stop comparing me to a robot..."
I know I have no choice but to be told that I am a monster, but I don't like being treated like a weapon the next time...
"That Second Legion leader... Koga used the same moves, but did you remember that when you saw Usat's move..."
"What, Kazuki, did you say something?"
Put your hand on your chin and lean your neck against Kazuki, who shrugged so.
Koga, I only heard the name, but anything related to him is as troublesome for me, so for once I asked, Kazuki smiled and waved her hand aside like nothing.
"Mm, nothing. You don't have to worry about it."
"Oh, yeah? Tell me if it's Koga related. Next time I see you, I'll punch you."
"Ooh?"
Kazuki nods at me with a smile. [M]
In this fight, I heard about Koga retreating, but it's about him. It is also decided to stand in front of us.
Maybe he'll get stronger and peel his fangs off than he did when he fought me. I don't know for sure, but I figured twice. I vaguely understand that's the kind of guy he is.
"That asshole army leader. Even if you hit him, he'll come back with a laugh. '
"Then I'll beat you back."
"I wonder if that's one of the reasons why you get targeted for hitting each other...?"
... Indeed.
But hey. Fighting is inevitable at a time when Koga is watching me...
No matter what role I have, no matter what the circumstances, it's none of his business, so I'm gonna smile around and threaten him.
"I wonder if we should explore new methods of warfare for our next battle..."
What I need now is a defense, not a means of attack.
In the battle with Nero Argens, by the time I had no skin, I was made aware of it.
At least, I would have died once if it weren't for Nair's spell of resistance.
"Don't just prevent it..."
The defense left to the hardness of the cage hand would be useful, but it does not pass on the grid.
Instead, if Nero wanted to, I would have been cut off in an instant.
Then my challenge in the future will not be to take it or play it - it will be to explore defenses that can lead to the next move.
"Magic, with the image of knitting"
Raise your right arm covered in a silver cage hand and stare into the open palm.
Keep your consciousness focused and practice magic in a different way than before.
"... no way"
The magic bullet that covered my hand showed a slight shake, but that's all.
Far from being as elastic as a Kazuki magic bullet.
"... Usato, what are you doing?"
"I can't resist magic like Kazuki."
Show Nair the healing magic that wraps his cage around my actions.
Nair, who looked at the cage hand for about a few seconds, looks at me with her jitsu eyes.
"Let me be resilient. What are you gonna do?"
"I haven't really thought about it... covering my caged hands to soften my shock when defending... and then maybe a healing counter-attack that turns my opponent upside down... seems to consume less magic than a bursting clap"
"… do you think you can?"
I look at my cage hand once and then snort firmly into the words.
"It's not impossible, should be"
"Yes. Then I'll help you, too. I'd be smarter at handling magic."
"Helpful"
All I can do is keep practicing in the tunnel so I can eventually do this with my whole arm.
When I wiped the magic out of my cage hand, I grabbed the palm that was open.
If I can master this technology, I can make a difference in my own movement.
"You've decided on your next assignment."
I still can't predict what's going to happen.
But I know I can't have a peaceful day as I am in the present situation all the time.
Then I'll have to find out what I can do now and prepare as I explore.
"Hmm."
"? Senior, what's wrong?"
Seniors roar for some reason right around the corner.
The senior who raised his face to my voice looked extremely serious.
"What's your name, Usato?"
"... Speaking of which, you didn't decide in particular"
"Yeah. Then we'll decide now. It's inconvenient not to have a name."
Sure, that's inconvenient without a name.
I nod at the seniors' words, put my hand on my chin, and think about the name of what I look like now.
Black Knight...... Dark Magic...... Black, Team Clothing...... White...... Shirokuro......
"What about silochrome mode?"
"Ah, nice. It!"
It's a bear connection. I tried a silo bear and a croc bear, but it's pretty good, right?
Seniors, too, are nodding as impressed.
Silochrome mode, all right, next time in that name -,
"Rejected"
"Why!?"
"I don't like it. I was so fuzzy."
'If you're going to do that, Black Knight Mode is still better'
I couldn't help but scream at the strong voice of denial from the shoulders and the inside.
There was opposition between Nair and Ferm, who strongly rejected it, and Kazuki, who said softly, "I don't think that's..." and the name remained none, and the name of Silochrome Mode became Bottom.
It was me and my senior, who were plainly denied by Kazuki and nearly broke my heart.
