CH 13

After leaving the building for female knights, we went towards the office building. Basically, males were forbidden from entering the building that was for female knights. Only the priest-san could enter, it seems.

Well, his job was similar to a doctor’s. He would need to do a medical check-up visit.

I was still being carried on Frank-san’s arm as we headed towards the office.

When the door was opened, Leon-san and Argo-san were there, talking to each other as they were looking at something akin to a map that was hung on the wall.

“Argo-san! Is your body alright?”

“Thanks to Yuuri-chan, I was completely restored. What about you, Yuuri-chan? I heard that you used up your magic…”

“It should be alright after a bit more rest. Thank you for your concern.”

“No…It’s my fault, sorry.”

As we approached Argo-san, he patted my head.

Yes. Even when I looked at him close up like this, his complexion seemed okay.

Haa. Thank goodness.

“Yuuri, sorry for asking you to come despite you still feeling unwell. I’ve been so busy that I couldn’t step my feet out of here. Aah, Frank. Can you help Yuuri sit on the sofa?” Leon-san said.

Frank-san put me gently on the sofa before standing sideway over there.

Uu…with everyone standing up and only me sitting down, I felt kind of pressured.

“Now then. First, can I hear about the magic that Yuuri used yesterday?”

“Ah, yes. How to say it…”

Thinking that I would be questioned a lot about it, I slightly straightened my back.

It’s definitely not because I feel like I’m small and that I want to be seen slightly bigger, okay?

“Leader. Don’t you think she’d feel pressured with how we’re all standing like this? Yuuri-chan seems to be really nervous.”

“Ah, no, that’s not what I…”

“Hm, then let’s do it like this.”

Leon-san nodded at Argo-san’s words before he brought an elegant-looking seat that was across the big table and suddenly lifted me. Then, he sat down on the seat as he made me sit on his lap.

Fweeeeeeeeee?

“You guys, sit on the sofa. With this, we could look at one another with the same level of sight.”

Yeeeeees?

No, that’s right. But this is such an embarrassing posture!

“Leader…ah, no, it’s okay. Yes.”

Argo-saaaaan. Don’t abandon me like thaaat.

“Anyway, about your magic yesterday, there were things like small shields revolving around our surrounding, huh? What are those?”

U-wa—.

The tenor voice that I heard from my back was so stronggggg.

“Those are Area Protect Shield and Area Magic Shield.”

“I’ve never heard of them. Are they under the same category as magic that enhance your body?”

“Uhm, Area Protect Shield is a magic used to enhance one’s physical resistance to some degree, meanwhile Area Magic Shield is the magic used to enhance one’s magical resistance to some degree.”

As for the effect duration, was it just 30 minutes? Or was it 1 hour?

I should try and check it later on.

“Such kind of magic exists, huh…? Certainly, the damage from the goblins’ attacks decreased.”

Leon-san muttered as he seemed to be thinking of something.

“The magic from Yuuri’s country is slightly different from what we know, huh?”

“Eh, is that so?”

“First, when you recite a spell, the magic won’t be activated with just its name alone. In order to bring forth a stronger magic effect, a lengthy chant is needed to some degree.”

Aah, Argo-san also said that.

“Moreover, the magic used to reinforce one’s body can only be used to one’s own body. I’ve never heard the kind of reinforcement magic that can be used for others, let alone for several people at the same time.”

Ho~, is that so?

As expected, things are different in the game. But I was using the same method of magic that was used in the game, though?

Just how come…?

“As for [Heal], it can’t be used to recover someone without touching them. Moreover…nobody can use both offensive magic and recovery magic. Is it normal for someone to be able to use both in Yuuri’s country?”

“Normally…people should be able to use them to some degree although it may take time…probably?”

“How much time was needed for Yuuri to learn such magic?”

“Uhm, around 5 years, I think?”

“How old is Yuuri now?”

Uu. How should I answer this question? Before, I was 18 years old, but now, I’m 8 years old?

“Uhhmm, I was like 18, but now I am 8 years old, or uhhhmm…”

“Hm? In other words, you’re 8 years old?”

“…Now it is so, but actually that’s not it, uhmm…”

“No matter how you look at it, you’re 8 years old.”

“Isn’t that right…?”

I…Is this falsifying one’s age? But if I were to tell the truth, nobody would believe me…Just what should I say?

“So, you began learning magic from when you were 3 years old, huh…? Did you come from a country of magicians…?”

No…I only played an online game. I didn’t learn anything.

W…what to do? I think that Leon-san and the others might have a huge misunderstanding already. However, I couldn’t say that I came to this world while playing a game to unravel that misunderstanding…

“If you climb up the summit of the sacred mountain, Meteora, you will reach the country of the gods, Elysion…the gods’ relatives are said to be able to use all magic there.”

Frank-san muttered.

Eh? What’s with that sudden grand setting?!

But, eh? Eh?

Elysion?

It’s similar to Elysia Online, but are they connected somehow?!

No, but I’m just an ordinary human being!

I’m not a god aaaaaaaaaa…
