It's been two weeks since then.

Finally, the start date of Reid's offensive is approaching and the city is starting to look lively.

Because Fellow, the master's son and father of the Demon King, is planning things again.

Special attempts are also available in the production, but this preparatory period was also effectively utilized.

Publication of the training landscape for adventurers, sittings and signings, handshakes, sale of stamp rallies and exclusive goods.

He works perfectly with the city's shops to celebrate it as an event involving residents and fans.

In addition, video boards (televisions) did not leave such attempts unattended, and a city with Demon King's Castle had been shown on the news day after day.

At one point, the space created within the "Dungeon of the Beginning" - which we had previously talked about contracting and borrowing from Mr. Thor - was discussed by using it to deliver combat training for a limited period of time.

Several versions of the videos at this time featuring each party were created and distributed on each party's channel.

The official party is set for five, so there's no channel for Rayce and the others.

It would be a good thing for Mr Fellow, as it is the result of stirring up interest by reducing exposure. Maybe I'm right on target.

"Oh, look at that, Mr. Lemme. They're going to start introducing the demon castle floor boss."

I kept thinking, putting breakfast in my mouth. [M]

"Yeah......"

Mira said something, but I get a raw reply.

Yeah, I haven't broken a wall in the last two weeks.

I can feel the magic built into my core.

Feeling the magic released.

But it can't be absorbed into the corners. Let magic touch the horns and focus your consciousness and nothing will happen.

I tried this, but not all of it. It doesn't even respond to tingling. I'm spending my time not grasping any feelings.

"Mmm... Carmilla should have a better scene. This is a clueless job....... but citrie looks cute...... Should I be more concerned about camera photography too..."

"Yeah......"

"Wepal is a bit shy from appearance, so you are. It is also inside that we lead the dragon men to wait like Fulcus...... Ugh, maybe I should think about a special performance now, too. Does Master Remegeton welcome both adventurers on the throne, just like he did last time?

"Yeah......"

"By the way, will today's breakfast suit your mouth?

"Yeah......"

"... Mr. Lemme. It's going to rain on the spear today."

"Mmm..."

"I think we could have been very close. Is it time to get married?

"... hmm?

Keckon? Marriage......!?

I look up in a hurry.

Mr. Mira had inflated her cheeks modestly, but to the extent that she could tell from a closer look.

I ate the breakfast I made around the corner in the first place, and I haven't even listened to myself. Naturally she gets upset.

"Oh, I'm sorry... think about it"

When I say that, she spits out the air that builds up on her cheeks.

"Is this about the lack of magic?

"Yeah... let's just say I can do it for all kinds of people, and I'm still getting zero results..."

"... I'm talking about Mr. Lemme, so I think I've already thought a lot about it. In that case, isn't it important to take a break instead of being forced to keep thinking?

"Yes, you are."

"If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you, right? Or can't I help you?

Mira moisturizes her eyes as she tilts her neck.

I dare you, you're playing as usual.

I realized that laughing like I'd lost my mind all the time had made my expression harder until then.

"Thank you, then I wonder if you could listen"

"Absolutely."

And I talked.

About two weeks that didn't go well at all.

Until now, you've cared about this one, or you haven't asked me deeply, Mira. I never spoke from myself either, so this is the first day I've talked in detail.

"... I see. Seems like a much more unscrupulous way...... No matter how you scratch, no other species can manipulate blood. The same thing makes me think..."

The ability of a vampire to manipulate blood and use it as a weapon of protection is also certainly called a blood manipulation 'technique'.

"If there's no precedent, I think so, too."

"Are you Leme's master...... He said he was also the grandfather of the Demon King."

Master can do it. If it's not technically impossible, it means it's possible. That no matter how difficult it is to achieve, it is possible.

"Yeah, 'magic' level or maybe harder to master than that, but it's not impossible."

"Can't you ask your master for guidance?

"... there are many reasons, but either way, I don't know if I can make it now"

Me and Phoenix's hometown is in a country with dots on it, and just going back and forth begins the Reid fight.

My master hasn't got an e-mail account, so all I can do is send a letter.

Well, the very option of listening, I'm not thinking about it in the first place.

Of course, it's important to ask people what they don't understand. Sometimes I can't give an answer even if I think about it myself. It's much smarter to rely on someone than to hold onto it and cause problems.

"My master won't let me train for meaninglessness. Even irrational or messy instructions make sense. Doing so ensured I got something and grew up."

"You were wonderful."

"He wasn't a 'good guy' where the public says he is, though. He's a great guy, a benefactor. So I thought," Absorbing extracorporeal magic into horns "is a great technology."

"Yes, I think so. The ability of spirits and fairies alone."

"The master gave me a horn. When someone shows up who wants to win, he says he can win head-on. But I've never heard from my master about this technology."

"... uh. What your master, who wished you a victory over Mr. Lemé, did not talk about that potentially useful technology, is that it is unnatural,?

I continue to snort back at Mira's words.

"If it's going to be a pain in the ass, it is as of the corner. Then why didn't the master tell me? I think so."

And I stand one finger at a time.

One, 'Cause it's dangerous'. This is hard to think from the story of the Demon King.

One, 'Cause I'm still immature'. It seems possible, but I think the master would say so after explaining it.

One, 'Cause it's not something you can tell by mouth'. I think this is it.

The master does not allow meaningless training.

If revealing the existence of this technology to me was such that I could not even teach and guide my master.

I've been wasting my time trying to encourage training, like I've been doing for the last two weeks.

That's why I didn't tell you.

Or maybe, in the first place, in the opposite order.

After knowing that technology exists, it is not something to master.

Perhaps it is the first ability you acquire by reaching that frontier yourself.

"Hey, that's kind of hard..."

"I don't know what to say, for example, 'what is love' and 'what is justice', I don't think you can get an answer if you pull a dictionary. Even if it can be influenced by someone's words, it's what you find in the end, right? My master didn't tell me because he thought he couldn't give me an answer in his own words."

"I see, I understand very well"

Mr. Mira nodded forcefully. Seems strongly attracted to the part called love.

"So I don't think it's worth it to go and listen"

There's actually one more thing.

"I knew I couldn't master it."

If you can't master a human (normal) who just inherited a corner, you can snort what the master didn't say.

The master was a tough man, but he never used those words to deny someone's future, like he couldn't or couldn't. I've been told a lot of things like not suitable or gutless.

I was never told I couldn't be a brave man.

I don't mean to be the one who has this technology on purpose that I can do, but you can't. If so, would you tell me quietly when I noticed and talked to him? [M]

But I can't help but think about this.

I told you I could do it. I have to.

Of course, you have to think about what you couldn't do, and that's responsibility, but I haven't given up.

"I think it's something I need to get to myself. I think it's the way you treat horns, or the way you perceive magic. That's not a technical thing either, it's a sensory part. Magic is present, horns are present, and it is not impossible, but it cannot be absorbed. Recognition... is my preconceived notion in the way...?

Speaking of bumps, I seemed to lean over at some point.

My cheeks are softly wrapped in something, and my face looks up.

There were two eyes, like a crimson moon, staring at me.

"Isn't it time to pick up Mr. Kash?

It seemed to be nestled in the swamp of thought again.

Looking at the clock, she's right.

I hurried to scratch the rest of the breakfast and changed my clothes.

It's too late just to worry. Don't change the speed for me.

"... I don't know, I feel like I've been getting a lot of thanks lately that I can't give back to Mira"

"Never mind, it's what I like and do"

Somehow, it feels like she's taking care of me half the time.

She is doing the house perfectly, and her work and her private life are well helped.

"No, it's not good. I'm the only one being helped."

Until a while ago, under her guidance, I was trying to remember chores, but they were temporarily interrupted in the Battle of Reid.

"Ugh, are you going to be unable to live without me? Actually, that's what we're after."

That said, she laughs jokingly.

"haha......"

I laughed bitterly when I realized that it was about to become commonplace to have Mira.

"Mr. Leme."

I just put my shoes on in the front door and her voice hangs.

"I don't know."

"Earlier, my master didn't explain why, but I felt there was another reason."

... did you notice something I didn't say?

But it wasn't.

"I'm sure your master believed that you would have come to your own answer?

――――

I didn't give you the knowledge halfway through, because it's something you should get to yourself.

Did the master think I could do that?

I don't know the answer, and there's no way that master can answer me if I ask.

"Yeah, I'd love that."

In that case, the Demon King told me that I was off the regular learning route.

At the very least, we need to derive the answer.

"I'm going. See you at Demon King Castle."

I smile. I could do that naturally.

"You're not going. Of course, I believe I can do it if I become Mr. Lemme too"

I didn't mean to give up being a brave man because who told me I couldn't?

But my master made me his apprentice and I was glad Phoenix told me to throw a party.

Same thing this time.

I'm just so glad that Mira believes me.

That certainly helps me.

"Thanks"
