504 Dear Charlotte, I'm confused.

"Huh......, what is that?

"Stand back, Master Charlotte. An unidentified flight object is approaching this way. I don't know what it is. Evacuate."

"Yeah, yeah. Okay."

When winter was over and it stopped snowing.

I went to the last place I was supposed to do business with Ars von Barca.

Apparently he hasn't come yet.

We arrive first, we set up a curtain, we wait often.

Suddenly the outside began to bother me.

I wondered what was wrong, I went outside and found out what was causing it.

Something was flying this way.

Over our heads, a mysterious flying object flying through the sky.

That's what passed over our formation, and then came back here all the way around.

Maybe it's some kind of demon.

It is very dangerous if you are a flying demon.

The Commander-in-Chief has instructed me to evacuate, or I might as well join the fight.

Unlike me back in the day, I'm not helpless right now.

You can fight demons with magic, not just demonic weapons.

I have the power to protect my men here.

I stayed on the spot, even though they told me to run away with the Captain General.

But apparently, the worry was worrying.

I don't know what that is, but apparently it wasn't a demon.

Because people came down from something in the form of an undressed bird with its wings spread to the left and right, stopping perfectly in the air.

'... what the hell are you going to do? That explains something, doesn't it, Ars?

"Hello, Master Charlotte. Is that it? That's a Magic Guide airship. No, we thought we'd make some kind of magic trick. So I tried to create a way to fly around the sky. '

'... fly and move in the sky. Is that what it is? No, I did see that one flying in the sky with this eye......, really?

'Yeah, that's right. If you like, would you like to ride with me later, Mr. Charlotte? It's quite a pleasure to see the earth from above.'

'Really? Think about it.'

... You're lying, aren't you?

Is that a magic trick?

Um, a demon prop the size of which puts people on and flies through the sky?

Is that possible?

There is no such thing even in the Brillian Demon Guided Country.

The magic artifacts created using the magic formations technology are all very valuable.

But among them, the study of flying has been going on for a long time, and yet we are told that there are no reports of success once.

Did he make that?

Impossible.

Previously, when I went to his territory called Vulcania, not a single magic object existed.

And yet, it's impossible to make flying magic props that even our country has not been able to make.

with the real thing in front of me. I couldn't believe it.

'Well, then, shall we finish our errands before we have fun? Are you sure the deal is as good as we talked about beforehand, Mr. Charlotte?

'Yeah. But I need to tell you something first'

'What do you want to tell me? What is it?

'We want to continue to have good relations with the Kingdom of Fontana. But we can't keep trading weapons such as demonic weapons forever. For this reason, the arms trade will be suspended, although sales of magic props will continue in the future.'

'That's another sudden story, isn't it? But are you sure? In that case, you might not be able to exchange magic bags or give them magic in the future, right?

'Yes, they are also fascinating, but we also need weapons with spiritual stones. It is for this reason that we have to say that it is difficult to continue trading'

'I see. I get it. So I'm glad this is your last deal.'

... Is that it?

That's crazy.

I thought you'd regret it more than I expected, but it's lighter than I thought.

Regardless of the rock crossbow wand, don't you want more demonic weapons, etc?

Will it not come down to eating?

I feel uncomfortable about it.

I hadn't noticed until now that I was distracted by the Magic Guided Airship and the Yakuza.

But I was talking to Ars and I finally realized the discomfort.

'Um... are you sure you want to hear something that doesn't stick?

"What is it, Master Charlotte?

'............... didn't you get weaker?

'Oh, you know what I mean? That's right. I think you have less magic than you did when you met Charlotte before.'

'I knew it. But why not? Didn't you say you were going to defeat the Demon King? Is that all right with you?

'Thank you for your attention, Master Charlotte. Actually, it's about that, but you succeeded in defeating the Demon King safely. Now the kingdom of Fontana is peace itself.'

'Oh, right. Congratulations.'

'Thank you. I defeated the Demon King and made peace, so I let my son inherit my power. So don't worry, my own magic has just diminished.'

'... Inheritance? Your power to my son? What is it, that?

'Oh, excuse me. That said, you didn't explain it. The ritual in which I give magic to your men, starting with Charlotte, can't actually inherit that power from the next generation. It takes another ritual, the ritual of inheritance, to inherit it from a child. I have inherited my power from Alford, my son, by virtue of his inheritance ritual. "

Hey, what, what's that?

Inheritance ritual?

Is there such a thing?

What shall we do?

I had already succeeded in finishing the analysis of the named magic formation and in using that magic formation myself to give magic to my men by naming others.

So I am free to add more wizards in the future.

That's why I offered to stop the deal.

But wouldn't you say that magic cannot be inherited by the next generation in this way?

No, not quite.

What did he say now?

Didn't you say you could let my child inherit your power, your magic?

Can you do that?

I have never heard of any other country being able to do that, at least as far as I know, including the Brillian Demonic Power.

Historic nations should be taking the means to enter into marital relationships with men and women with a high amount of magic and, as a result, increase the magic power of the clan little by little.

But he claims he can otherwise boost the next generation of magic.

Besides, his own flesh has proven it.

Clearly Ars' amount of magic has fallen more than it did before.

It feels like the magic that should have only been close to the royal family is halving.

Does that really mean you inherited that much magic?

It may have been premature to offer to suspend the deal.

Doesn't he still have something we don't know about?

I was just trying to see his amazing face, but I was supposed to see, hear, and be more confused about all the completely unexpected things.
