Chapter 1767: Tea Party with Illness 5

I don’t know how old exactly Illness-san is, but I’ve confirmed from Frea-san’s previous story that she has been around since at least 20,000 years ago, before Alice created the Six Kings and Peerage Ranking System in the Demon Realm. Delve into the §ource of thïš dat@, deepl¥ r00ted in n0v(lb¡n★

[Kaito-samaaaa, do you know about the Unique Demooooons?]

[Y- Yes, I’ve heard of it. They’re Demons who were born from magic power, a classification of species that only consists of one person, just like Ein-san, right? However, I don’t know much more than that......]

[Yeeees. There’s no problem with that understandiiiiiing. A singular species of Demon——– while there maaaaaaay be other species with abilities similar to them, there aren’t aaaaaaaany other beings of the same species as them. That saaaaaid, the existence of Unique Demons themselves is still a mysteryyyyyy, so there are still many aspects of which we do not knoooooooow.]

[Is that so?]

That was quite surprising. While there are numerous species in the Demon Realm, the existence of Unique Demons, such as Ein-san, should have been around for a considerable time. However, the fact that there are still so many mysteries about them even today, does that mean they are that rare?

[There’s a greeeeeat amount of individual differences between Unique Demooooons. Soooooome are born in fully developed forms that could be considered adults from biiiiiiiirth, while otheeeeers are born in infantile forms and groooooow over time. The magic power and physical capabilities also varied widelyyyyy. Not only thaaaaat, the innate knowledge they are born with aaaaaalso varies. Some are born with a wealth of knowleeeeedge, knowing many things from birth, while otheeeeeers possess only the most basic knowledge.]

[Ahh, I see, that’s why you’re usually......]

The reason why Illness-san’s eyes were unfocused was because her eyes were too good that she ended up getting tired......

[Using those eeeeeeyes, I learnt how to operate my bodyyyyy. In the Demon Realm at that tiiiiime, there were battles all over the plaaaaaace, so I used the movements and magic flow of thoooooose who seemed strong as a reference and trained myseeeeeelf. I didn’t reeeeeally have any particular thought of wanting to become strongeeeeeer, but I thought it was the right choice to be able to uuuuuuse my body’s abilities to the fullest.]

[Speaking of which, Illness-san uses your opponents’ power against themselves...... fighting in a way that you could elude or control their power, just like Aikido back in my world, right?]

[That’s riiiiiiiight. Since I can visually perceive magic power if I wanted to, this makes it easy for me to read the flow of an opponent’s magic power, so my fighting style would naturally end up being in that direction.]

I see, since she has eyes that can visually perceive even the magic power in the air not channeled through spells, it would make it easier for her to anticipate an opponent’s movements, so having such a fighting style seems to be quite logical.

How should I say this...... I’m quite happy to have learned various things about Illness-san that I didn’t know before.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [......Hmmm. It seems like he might have realized the truth of the world. With many mysteries still surrounding and possessing numerous unique abilities, furthermore, in recent years, there has been no newly born Unique Demon. It was as Makina said before. Regarding those Demons, Shiro said that she had been doing various experiments with creating beings...... In other words, does this mean that? Seriously, isn’t she likely the root cause of most things......]
