259 – Magic from another world – 3
“Oh, I don’t know why I called that woman here. However…….”
Minerva said in a voice that could not erase her feelings. It seemed that he immediately inferred what I was about to say from the atmosphere. In fact, it’s even more strange that someone like Minerva doesn’t notice it.
She brought Nix as a favor, and she revealed in front of me that she had an uncomfortable relationship with Nix before. So it shouldn’t have been too difficult to guess.
As if feeling puzzled by Minerva’s reaction, Parnari tilted her head.
“These two were like that when we met last time. What happened?”
“It was a long time ago. About two hundred years. It was a quarrel with a little misunderstanding.”
“Two hundred years? Ah, it’s been a while since it happened, so Schientia-sama is getting so angry. I understand.”
“… ….”
To treat something that happened two hundred years ago as if it happened a few days ago was like a dragon. Even for Minerva and Nix, who have lived in units of hundreds of years, 200 years would not be a small amount of time.
With that mindset, she could have easily accepted the role of Minerva’s assistant. Certainly, a 300-year assistant contract was out of the question with a fair amount of time.
“Well, it’s as Minerva thinks. In the end, she said that the reason Minerva-sama had a bad feeling towards Nyx was because she lied about teaching her new magic.”
“I guess so.”
“Then there would be no reason to be angry anymore. There was nothing to do before, but not now. There must be a pile of things to study right now, right?”
Minerva nodded her head silently in affirmation. True to my word, she used to be a Minerva who was on the brink of boredom because she had nothing to do, but she never did that now.
I was researching mirror scrolls just a while ago, and I can find the rest of the ancient scrolls as well. Even that wasn’t enough, and there was even an opportunity to study the magic of another world.
It was a long way from the situation where I was about to die of boredom because I had no more knowledge to accumulate. So she had no reason to accumulate ill feelings.
The reason Minerva was angry was because Nyx “Lied”, But it was much bigger than that because she lied that “There is a new magic”.
“I understand. If the child wants reconciliation, of course she must comply. As the child said, now there is no reason to be angry. What is the point of forgetting the remnants of a very distant past?”
“There is one more. It wasn’t Nix’s will. Because Nyx was just following the goddess.”
When I revealed that the goddess was involved, a startled Nyx grabbed me by the collar. I stroked his head to mean okay. Misunderstandings must be completely cleared up.
If we finish talking this far, it will look like Minerva has unilaterally forgave and reconciled with Nix. Even though Nix was not at fault from the start.
It was Eclipse’s last resort that caused Minerva and Nyx to fight. If the two didn’t fight, as a result, the world eater would come here.
So, it is right to go in the direction that the relationship between the two was not a one-sided forgiveness and reconciliation, but something that happened inevitably.
“Goddess? Are you talking about the god of the Holy Land, kid?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
My affirmation made Minerva’s face confused. I explained everything except for Nyx’s true identity and the World Eater.
Minerva hears that the goddess gave a revelation to Nyx, and she is not even the pope of the Holy Land. She seemed to have a question, but her question did not last long.
She said it because I was the one who said it.
She met the goddess right away, and even fought beside her goddess, and I am a person who is revered as a living saint in the Holy Land. I couldn’t believe it when I said that the goddess gave the revelation herself.
“…… I didn’t know that such a situation existed.”
“hehehe, it’s okay if you don’t apologize. At that time, I was angry enough. I also resented God before I heard the reason.”
At that time, Nyx was no different from a trickster, so it was an act worthy of anger, but Minerva had a very complicated expression, as if she hadn’t even imagined that the god of the Holy Land was involved.
Besides, it was ambiguous to blame Eclipse for that. She says that Minerva would have seen Nix’s performance if she had been informed of her plan in advance. From Eclipse’s point of view, it was their best.
After completely clearing up the misunderstanding, Nyx came back to my side and whispered softly into my ear.
“Don’t you use the method the goddess said?”
“It went well. There is no reason to write.”
“But the Goddess said so. I’ve made up my mind…… Lol.”
“The revelation was originally up to interpretation. There is no need for such resolution, so put it back.”
I was still bothered by the fact that the three of us had to emphasize
, But since the misunderstanding seems to have been resolved, I decided to think it was my overreaction.
There is nothing more reconciling here.
I stroked Nix’s visibly sullen hair. The sullen expression immediately disappeared. Instead of not paying attention to me, I felt like I had a lot of pet-like aspects.
“Delta, what is the way the goddess spoke?”
While I was stroking Nyx’s head, Parnari’s surprise question came in.
“…… Did you hear that?”
First of all, I brought the hesitant Nyx in front of him and rubbed his cheeks with both hands. It was to prevent him from saying useless words.
I don’t know if it’s Nyx or Flor, but the honorific Nyx was a bit uneasy.
“Because it’s a dragon. Even in human form, his ears are bright. I didn’t mean to hear it, but I did. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“I wasn’t offended. Just…… It’s a bit of an ambiguous way to put it into practice.”
“Really? Okay. Then I won’t ask any more.”
Perhaps he noticed that this was a difficult question to answer, Parnari quietly backed away. Minerva approached as if taking turns with Parnari. He removed his hand from Nix’s cheek.
“Has the misunderstanding been resolved now?”
“Yes. It’s a bit of a shock to hear that this was the intention of the god of the Holy Land. If Nyx had ever been caught by me, he would have been guilty of an indelible sin.”
“It was a revelation given after foreseeing all of that. So no matter how much Minerva flew and crawled, she couldn’t catch Nyx.”
I soothed Minerva and took her wand. It was the staff with the highest intelligence modifier in the game. If the final setting for a one-handed sword is a nightmare without wings, then the final setting for a wizard feels like this.
I asked if I could get one, so I received one from the Mage Tower storage. It was the same when I went to rescue the nightmare that lost its wings, and I really thought it had all sorts of things.
Now, as long as you get the ‘Sun and Moon Divine Catalyst’, one of the priest’s final settings, at least you won’t be hampered by equipment problems. It was because I had all my melee weapons, staffs, and holy catalysts.
I looked at Minerva as I prepared my spell.
“Don’t faint this time, Minerva. Do you know how surprised I was when I saw Minerva collapse from foaming the other day?”
“…… I would like to consider it one of the negative symptoms of a temporary state of hyperexcitation caused by a shock above the threshold.”
The peach-colored cheeks turned a little red.
It was Minerva who gave off the scent of lemon whenever she found an ancient scroll and trampled on the backs of wizards to carry it, but this time she herself seemed ashamed.
I was even more surprised because I knew it was embarrassing. If I think of the reactions I’ve shown so far, I don’t think it’s strange at all if I say that I can do that confidently.
“But this time, I brought Mr. Parnari just in case, so it should be fine. There are also Nicks. The whole Mage Tower won’t be in a frenzy like last time.”

“…… I didn’t know that I would be using the term here for such a purpose. People here are very strange.”
As a group, Parnari was disgusted, perhaps remembering how she calmed down the mages who were approaching to find me when they had entered madness with dragon words. Minerva is big, he cleared his throat.
Unaware of how things were going, Nix had only a question mark in his head.
“Let’s get started.”
Purple mana leaked from the tip of the staff. Seeing this, Minerva’s expression softened again.
The combined purple mana turned into a perfect sphere, and as she waved her arm, it was launched forward.
The launched sphere floated arbitrarily through the sky, then it seemed to be coming towards us, but suddenly it swerved and collided with the target I thought was the target, causing an explosion.
The explosion spread a purple wave. A mat was laid where the wave hit. The targets above it were engulfed in purple flames and began to burn.
It was ‘Purple Splash’, one of the spells called OP in Brunet 1. It was luckily mixed in the magic that came to mind.
‘I don’t know what that has to do with the spray.’
It’s magic that shoots mana spheres instead of water right away, it doesn’t explode like water bursts, and the floor is fire, not water. The only thing that fits the name is purple.
I think it could be called just a floor guided missile by the same name.
“Ah… ….”
Minerva trembled with an ecstatic expression on her face. She didn’t want her half-unlocked eyes to come back to normal, but she was glad she didn’t collapse with foam at her mouth like the last time.
Clap clap, applause was heard nearby. It was Knicks. I lightly tickled Nix’s lower jaw and opened his mouth.
“Minerva.”
“Ugh, huh?!”
The silvery-white pupils returned to normal. My body trembled in shock.
“Can you follow the magic I just showed you?”
Hearing that, Minerva’s expression changed in an instant. Where did the eccentric who shuddered with an ecstatic expression while watching the magic of another world go, and only a sharp figure remained.
Minerva, who had been thinking very deeply, opened her mouth.
“Can you show me one or two more times?”
“Okay.”
I used magic 2 more times, and my mana just ran out. Minerva, observing me carefully as I cast the purple spray, raised her staff with a serious expression.
Minerva concentrated for a moment, hiding her silvery-white pupils behind her eyelids. After a while, those eyes slowly opened.
“Hey.”
“Yes, Miss Minerva.”
“Would you like to come closer to me for a moment? It is a request.”
I approached Minerva with a question in my head. And.
“Shh, quiet… ….”
His head was buried between his chest.
