"It wasn't something new enough to make a word."
Fima talked with an introduction.
When he came to this country, he seemed to have spent many meaningful days seeing foreign cultures and unfamiliar magical theories. It's the same as the excitement of international students touching the local freshness.
And one week after coming to Draknir. Finally, the initial excitement subsided and calm down, and he moved on to do “searching,” but this seems to be far more than expected.
"I was prepared not to go easily, but I'm a bit depressed if the results are not so good. "
At the end of the conversation, Fima moistened her thirsty throat with tea.
"It's about this from me. It wasn't fun to ask for a cup of tea." "I just knew it wasn't good enough."
I didn't ask at all what I was looking for, so I could only answer this much.
"Just listen and you'll be saved. Perhaps the only thing you can talk about in this city, except for the three escorts,"
After saying, Fima put her finger on her chin, "Yeah?"
"... I mean, isn't anyone else who can talk so close around me?"
The remarks jumped out.
"I guess you're going to talk to a noble lady with a noble connection. Why don't you talk at a tea ceremony or a party?" A casual word can be a language that can make your opponent feel weak, at least not in such a way that you can hit it lightly. "
Noble parties often hold social occasions, and they rarely enjoy the party. Many people are busy exchanging information and securing new “trainers”.
I remember when Ayana invited me to a standing party.
She enjoyed the food with all her powers together with Misaki who was with her, but Ayana, who invited me, seemed to be busy around greeting other invited business associates. And when it settled down, I was also working on food. The Aritsuki, who was also participating, was being called off, as usual, by a corporate daughter. When I was about to be taken away by a hotel that was in R uniform, I stopped just before I left the venue.
"And aristocratic princesses are more troublesome than ordinary women. Although the misfortune of others is the taste of honey, no race would dominate that taste. If you have an object, you can listen to the roots without leaves, regardless of the opponent's convenience, and put on the tail fins without anything, ''
Possessed of unpleasant memories, Fima struck her elbows at the table and felt bitter. It looks very pictured with a chest on the table.
"It's very difficult to make friends that you can't care for because you're a noble. I don't want to abandon your position as a noble, but I'm jealous of you, the ordinary people, just in the area." "There are so many different people." "I don't say that I want to give up my position. We are noble people eating because of the common people's blood tax. Are you grateful for this?" I've had a terrible rant before. "
It was when attacked by a group controlled by "Mysterious Voices" including Chloe. In a conversation just before that, Fima made a statement that clearly looked down on the commoners.
"Hmm. I don't really look down on the actual place, but I'm just going to have a good attitude towards the first-time face-to-face people. No offense. Really?" "It's a statement that has gone through the shyness in the opposite direction." "I guess it's a long way to go without it. My father's education policy is a bit. I've been taught equal parties to those who admit it, and to those who aren't, to be clear about their hierarchical relationship. ''
The aristocratic experience of the aristocratic world and the education of parents were mixed together, and the stranger of the first meeting was probably a high-pressure, strange-looking character. This is certainly difficult to make friends.
"I'm sorry, I just talked about bitches. It wasn't a very pleasant story to hear." "No. I was told some interesting stories."
I was very happy to know a little bit about the inside of a woman named Fima.
"That's right, thank you for hearing the bitches, let me know your story. I don't know what you can do, but if you have any trouble, I'll get in touch with you." Do you seem to have trouble? "
No, don't answer right away. I'm worried about people. Have you been seen in such an enjoyable life enjoyment that you have so much trouble?
"But there seems to be something to do with that answer. I don't know if it will be resolved, but why not just talk? Like me, but just asking someone to listen is a lot easier mentally Yeah. "
Indeed, her expression was lighter than before she was bitter. I guess that it was refreshing to be able to spit out what was lacking in the investigation and what had been stored earlier than that.
Her words were just a boat to me.
Fima has a deep knowledge of magic. In addition, there is flexible thinking that can analyze magic magically. Spiritualism and magic are different fundamental fields, but she may still lend good wisdom.
"Now, let's just give it a word. I want you to help me a little, Fima."
I told her the current situation, which was stagnant. In painful excuses, he rephrased (or dismissed) ice spiritism as a special magic taught by an old woman living in the mountains of the countryside, and asked if there was a way to take the first step from here.
--- It's almost true, just not telling the word spiritism.
While listening to the story, Fima listened to my story of "Magic (Tentative)" with his eyes shining immediately. As always, when it comes to the subject of interest, the usual rational atmosphere doesn't change suddenly.
"I'm very worried about who the old woman is and the theory of the magic, but I won't ask with the intestinal thought.
Fima was so excited that he wanted to hear it twice and crossed his arms for a while. They seem to think seriously.
"The challenge at the moment is how to deal with the" cold air "that quickly spreads out in normal space." "I can only do physical attacks on ice as it is now. I want a technique that can be a little more efficient. ''
I don't think that simply increasing the number of attacking techniques would work for A-rank adventurer level skills like Ansara, but I don't expect it to produce any effective skills. It is appropriate to gradually clear from within reach.
"... I'll ask you a bit, but let me know if there is a technique that can clear what I'm saying now."
Fima said, something came up.
"Well, how good is it?" "Oh, if that was the case."
I took out the ice crystals I had on the inside of my back and put them on the table.
"It's just ice at first glance, but when a strong impact is applied it expands the ice barrier and protects the part you're wearing."
Upon receiving my brief explanation, Fima exhaled with a mixture of surprise and amazed.
"... I'm still astonished, even if magical objects lose their magical power, they disappear quickly, with a few exceptions, and they still have a certain effect without a catalyst. , Is it a difficult task even for a skilled magician?
I'm not saying that it's not magic.
Witchcraft embodies phenomena in the world in a simulated way using spells, while spiritism embodies phenomena in the world through the genie they control.
The paintings on the sandbox disappear quickly due to the wind, but the characters engraved on the rocks do not disappear easily. Is it easy to understand if you think the former as magic and the latter as spiritism?
"But this might give you a way of thinking."
And she used the scale method from her eyes based on the presence of ice crystals.
"Well, how about that. Couldn't you at least limit yourself to using cold air for battle?"
I've come up with the answers I have been struggling with over the past few days within minutes of listening.
"It's been saved, Fima. I'm definitely lucky to see you today."
--- I know afterwards.
Good luck and bad luck are paper.
The luck that I felt at this time was that I had to wait for the trouble of waiting ahead.
