“It is often said that elves’ illusions can only be used in the forest, but that’s not true. It can be used anywhere in a space where the concentration of magical power is high.”
Ethel got out of bed and began to explain triumphantly.
“Isn’t there a place other than a normal forest where magical power is concentrated?”
“You hit the blind spot casually. Well, but an elf with a level as high as me can directly increase the concentration of magic in space and use it. There are no restrictions on location!”
Ethel spoke triumphantly, puffing out her chest. At first, it was kind of old-fashioned, but these days it’s naive, or strangely silly. It might be that he is being adversely influenced by Ber.
“Is it like the magic of Caspal’s fog?”
“The principle could be said to be similar. It is said to distort the image minutely by flowing weak magic power in space… … hmm. It is better to show than to tell.”
“Eh? in my room? It seems to be unhealthy for some reason, are you okay?”
Ignoring the flustered Ver, Ethel reached up and began to gather her mana. I can feel the slight vibration of magical energy in the air, and a light noise occurs in my field of vision.
“Puetchi!”
Ethel sneezed violently. And nothing happened.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. hmm. I can’t. I forgot that my remaining magic power decreased after I got a hole in my chest in the mine. If I didn’t, the composition of my body would collapse and I’d almost be scattered in the air.”
“You mean something terrible almost happened in my room, right?”
Ver asked Ethel with a pale expression. If you think about it, you are talking casually rather than politely. Did we get to know each other a lot while hanging out together?
“I guess I should borrow Ber’s chaosium. Where, where, is the place where Berg hides the Chaosium… … .”
“Now, wait, wait, Ethel! Trying to use that in my room?! I hate it because I think it will be harmful to my body!”
Ber shouted out in embarrassment, but Ethel ignored it, opened the drawer, threw the clothes behind her, and took out the chaosium. It was the one I had previously worn as a necklace.
“Let’s do it at the garbage dump like before! My room might be polluted?!”
“Ber. lower your voice Someone else will listen.”
“It doesn’t matter! ah, ugh… … . now it’s wrong Now my room is sure to be polluted. And I will become a magical mutant monster… … .”
Ber was slumped into a corner, covering his head and groaning. a bit pitiful
“As someone who handles chaos, there’s nothing wrong with becoming familiar. Calm down, Ver.”
Ethel encouraged Ber and adjusted the output of the chaosium in her hand.
“Adjust the output… … . good. That should be enough.”
As before, the mana in the air moved strangely, and I felt a light noise in my vision. And the moment you don’t even know when,
“end. This is the illusion art of the elves.”
Ethel in the form of an adult was in front of me.
“uh… … ? what? Eh, is this Ethel?”
“Then who would it be? Didn’t you know?”
Ethel, who had been a little girl, had now turned into a very beautiful adult woman. He grew to the same height as me, and his playful face exuded the atmosphere of a mature adult. Other than that, it was a very big change in places that didn’t come out here and there.
‘… … It’s even more amazing than I thought.’
Even though I was concentrating on when it would turn into an illusion, I couldn’t grasp the moment it changed at all. I came to recognize it naturally as if it was originally like that.
“Isn’t it great? This is an elf illusion. How about me now? is it beautiful This look might suit your taste.”
“No comment on that part. … … I think it’s amazing in many ways.”
I replied, averting my gaze. It was uncomfortable to stare at because something was erotic.
“It’s awesome… … . I don’t know if it’s welcome at all. Will Ethel look like this when she grows up?”
“no. I’ve already stopped growing. It doesn’t grow anymore.”
At Ver’s question, Ethel shook her head in denial.
“The more magical the elves are, the faster they stop growing. Have you ever heard the saying that elves are scarier the younger they are?”
“I’m sure I heard… … . I thought it was just a proverb, but it turned out to be true.”
“That’s it. Well, I long for the adult figure.”
Ethel, who said that, had a somewhat forlorn expression on her face. Do you have a complicated past? Ethel is a character that didn’t actually exist in the original novel, so I don’t know.
“Then it will be harmful to children, so this much.”
Right, Ethel snapped her fingers, and for an instant, her vision distorted and the usual Ethel appeared. The transition was so natural that it was ordinarily impossible to notice it unless you were very attentive.
“It’s a great technique. It makes me wonder about the principle.”
“Let’s call it perception distortion using magical power. To put it right, it’s a skill that will make 100 books. No matter how talented you are, I’ll say it’s impossible to learn it overnight.”
“Impossible? Doesn’t that make no sense?”
We had been talking for a long time and when the conclusion was strange, I inadvertently frowned and questioned.
“Take something simple. You just have to accompany me.”
Ethel replied calmly, as if asking something like that. It was a simple but sure method.
“Is something interesting going on? It just worked out when I was bored.”
“… … I thought so from the beginning. To be wicked.”
“To say that an elf is clever is a compliment.”
Ethel chuckled. Compared to the grown-up look from before, this suits her much more.
“Are you taking Ethel with you? I hope it’s not something dangerous… … .”
“are you okay. I take care of my own body. Why would Berdo follow me?”
Ethel recommended it to Ver, who was worried.
“it’s okay. All you need is Ber… … .”
“Oh, no. It’s fine until there. I don’t really want to follow. Please ask the Crown Prince to take care of it.”
Ver quickly and resolutely refused before I could finish my words of dissuade.
“… … I didn’t intend to ask you to follow me, but why don’t you show some loyalty to the crown prince?”
“I absolutely hate it. You suffered so much in the mines.”
I stopped talking for a moment and looked at Ver. Ber crossed his arms and firmly refused, but when I stared at him, he started to get a little restless.
“That, that’s right. I could go if I really needed to, but… … .”
“No, I don’t need it.”
“… … For some reason, I am very angry.”
If you put pressure on it, it’s best to not be able to hold on for even a minute.
“Whoops. This pitiful part is Ber’s charm.”
Inwardly, I sympathized with Ethel’s words, and asked me to explain how to use the Illusion Art.
After a while, I looked down at my body and admired it.
“I never thought writing to others would be this simple. Awesome.”
Even though it was his own body, he did not feel any discomfort. It felt a little uncomfortable when he touched his body, but even so, it was a great trick.
“Isn’t it great? When I was young, I used to use this to play pranks on humans entering the forest. It was fun to see everyone panicking and panicking.”
“The proverb, ‘The forest where elves live becomes a labyrinth,’ must have been because of Ethel.”
He looked at me as if he was fed up with Ethel’s words. It was a pretty interesting expression.
“… … It’s all good. There is one thing that is inconvenient.”
I took a moment to catch my breath.
“Why is it in the form of a woman?”
and said bluntly.
My figure, covered by Ber’s vision, is a beautiful girl with blonde hair and short pigtails… … Shall I say If Mikhail had a younger sister with a bad temper, he would have looked exactly like this.
“Didn’t Ber say it was better to dress as a woman?”
“It did. But if you use the illusion technique, wouldn’t it be enough to change into a man’s form?”
Ethel and Ber were silent at my question. And after looking at each other,
“Isn’t it okay because it’s cute?”
“It’s cute, isn’t it okay?”
From noble mtl dot com
Almost exactly the same answer.
“Even so, this seems a bit too cute.”
“is it? If the crown prince were a woman, I think it would feel exactly like this.”
“I am not this cute.”
“huh? Isn’t the crown prince always cute?”
Ethel tilted her head as she asked what she was talking about. For a moment, I was speechless.
“what the. Rather, Ber is cuter. I don’t know about elves’ aesthetic ideology.”
“no way. That’s not it.”
“… … Ethel, I’m a little hurt. I will use the soft pillow from now on.”
“No, the cutest thing is, of course, Verji. huh.”
I don’t know what you’re doing. It’s nice to see you because you’re close.
“Seriously speaking, even before being cute, it would be easier to induce the other person’s attention if she had a female appearance. I don’t think there’s anything bad about it.”
“But how can the voice be like this… … what?”
As I spoke, I realized belatedly that the voice sounded like a woman. I didn’t realize it at all because I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
“I have already taken action. It was so natural that you didn’t realize it, right?”
“Is it applicable to sound as well? All I can say is that it’s really awesome. Is the consumption of magical power okay?”
“No problem. The amount of chaos gathered in this Chaosium is not enough to make you budge. At best, I am just a little tired.”
Ethel said while holding the chaosium.
“Aren’t you worried about magic power? But are you tired? What would you like me to do?”
“Supply the sweets.”
“okay. I will treat you to the finest chocolate.”
“Oh my. That’s cool!”
When I said it patronizingly, Ethel smiled happily. At the word chocolate, Ver flinched and glanced at me, but I firmly ignored it.
It doesn’t matter if you give it to me, but I can’t help it because the reaction when I don’t give is fun. Ber is bad.
I headed to the basement of the training building with Ethel.
Passers-by glanced at the appearance of a female student whom they hadn’t seen before, and some of them looked this way in awe. I was annoyed and glared at him, so I ran away in a hurry.
“No one is talking to me. Everyone is a coward. sister.”
“… … Can I stop calling you that sister?”
“I’m acting as a younger sister, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Ethel changed into something cute among Ver’s clothes. I didn’t know it because I usually only wore plain clothes, but when I put on the proper lace clothes, it looked like a doll.
‘Anyway, I’m a 1,000-year-old old woman.’
“I think I was rude, sister?”
“noisy.”
I ignored it and retook my steps. The road to the basement of the practice building was once one of the off-limits areas, but there was no difficulty in passing the fence.
‘It’s a gamble. It’s all about doing Go-Stop a few times on holidays.’
I asked if it was possible to use the fantasy I was using now, but that was impossible.
Depending on the type of game, there may be cases where it can be used, but changing the cards in your hand will contradict other cards. so i can’t eat it
‘It’s okay because I have something in mind.’
I came across a large iron door. It was a plain door with no design engraved on it. I took a few deep breaths, then grabbed the large handle on the door.
Clap clap, clap clap.
“… … what. Are you locked?”
Didn’t open. Even shaking it, I didn’t feel the energy to open it. I’ve prepared this far, but the moment I thought it would be difficult,
“Oh my goodness.”
A voice came from behind. When I turned around, there was a man standing there.
“This basement is unused. What business did you come for?”
It was a long-haired man with a clover tattoo on his cheek. The sharp, slender eyes were just like snakes.
The moment we met, I was sure.
It was Carte, the culprit behind this gambling crisis.
