113 Episode 113: Iris and Flora, dating magic experiments (1/2)

”I need a favor from Flora-Zamel.”

”Ok...... what can I do?”

It was upright immovable.

I looked for Flora-Zamel and this is what happened when I talked to him.

”Actually, I'd like to experiment with magic.”

”Yes, please use me…”

Why are you giving me your head?

What kind of magic experiment do you think I'm gonna do? Brainwashing or retrofitting?

”I was impressed to see so much of 'Composite Ancient Magic' earlier. If you need to experiment with Yuki's magic... please, use me.”

”No, because it's not now. Experimenting only after sundown.”

Hold down Flora-Zamel trying to pull his hand and run out.

”You don't have to be so desperate. Because it's an experiment that comes to mind.”

”Yes...... is it?

”It's an experiment I don't even know if I'm going to succeed or fail. So you don't have to be in a hurry.”

”... I'm sorry, Master Yuki-Grossalia”

Flora-Zamel dropped his shoulder and sighed.

”I, it's always like this. Someone's opinion... immediately influences me and tries to fit in. I wanted to do something about myself like this, and I... became your squire Yuki-Grossalia...”

”I think that's an advantage, too.”

I said.

”That's why I want Flora-Zamel to help me with my magic experiments.”

”... my... need the power to fit others, is it?

”Oh. I was wondering if you could help me”

”Yes! Of course. Let me do it!!

Flora-Zamel burst his fist.

You seem motivated.

”Then I'll call you when I'm ready. And I want you to keep this a secret from the others. It's an experiment that His Royal Highness Iris will cooperate with, so keep it a secret.”

”I understand... I have. Even if it's burned by Hellfire... it's shutting its mouth.”

”You don't have to be so desperate!

I wonder what it is.

I feel like Flora-Zamel is dangerous in a different way than Iris.

I'll see you later.

That's what I said, I went back to the carriage.

Let's start by explaining to Iris how to do a magic experiment.

Evening.

The camp is ready, and we're done for dinner.

Then, after sundown, me and Iris left the carriage.

”Now let's begin the magic experiment.”

I said.

The place is in the woods near the streets.

There's no one here, and when something happens, we'll be right back in the carriage.

”I'm going to ask His Royal Highness Iris to help me this time.”

'Guardian Knight' tone, I said.

”Your Highness, thank you for keeping up with this”

”No, it's a request from no other Yuki. Besides, I'm also interested in Composite Ancient Magic.”

That's what Iris smiles at.

The meeting is right around here.

It's me and Iris and Flora-Zamel who know about the magic experiment.

And I also spoke to Mr. Roszo-Burns.

Magic flames will get into the eyes of the soldiers, because they have to be mistaken for an attack.

”Iris...... Your Highness. Let me tell you something, I'm... doing magic experiments with... the”

”Flora-Zamel. I want to talk to you about you.”

”Ha, ha.”

”Yuki said we need your help with this experiment. I believe that. Nice to meet you”

”Yes. Yes, even if I swap my life for one!

”You don't have to change it. Let's get ready.”

Once again in the 'Guardian Knight' tone, I said.

I'm not used to it, this tone. Stand up.

Flora-Zamel's with me, so I can't help it.

So, Mae, help me.

”Heh heh heh heh”

May the slime at my feet jumps on my hand.

”... are you okay, Yuki?”

”You say it's okay?

”Slime is when you eat, when you give out digestive fluid...”

”I've told you around there, so it's okay. And now Mae's nourishing my magic.”

Slime lives by eating small bugs, small animals, and magic.

So I gave May plenty of my Magic Blood.

You shouldn't even need a meal for a while.

Besides, Green Slime just digests the bugs and stuff you take in.

It's okay to touch the surface.

”See you, Your Highness. Can you hold the May of Slime?”

”I understand. Yuki.”

Iris does not hesitate and lifts May with his right hand.

I'm used to it. Well, you were cushioning me until just now.

”May, stretch your body a little bit”

”Phew, phew, phew.”

Follow my instructions, Mae the Slime stretches her body.

It stretches out like a string.

Slime is an amorphous creature.

On top of that, Mae's ability is enhanced by taking in Magic Blood.

I'm free to change my body's heels.

”Excuse me. Her Royal Highness.”

I wrapped a stringed May around Iris' wrist.

”I see. You string the slime and tie it to my wrist.”

”I'll adjust the length...... sure, isn't it tight?

”No problem. May from Slime seems to be following my movements.”

”Oh, you know. His Royal Highness Iris, Yuki-Grossalia...”

When I realized, Flora-Zamel was looking at us seriously.

”Why are you both so calm!?

””... Huh?

”Rope the slime and tie it to your wrist, etc... I've never heard of it! I can't believe we put slime and will through so much and control the movement...... Rather than that, how could His Highness Iris be so calm!?

That's because Alice (...) was close to Slime in her previous life.

Alice spent the whole day staring at Slime, who was exterminating pests in the fields, and then she said, ”How does it feel to be Slime? My Lord!”

There's no way I know how slime feels.

I couldn't help it, so I asked Slime himself, and I put it together in a report.

But, well, isn't it a good idea for Iris to be calm in this world?

”Your Highness, you are so surprised!?

I said it as I glanced at Iris.

”The situation of slime wrapping around the wrist of Her Royal Highness Eighth Princess Iris-Leastia should be too unexpected. You're not even talking about that situation before. I know. I can see you've been so awesome.”

”Right. The situation of slime wrapping around my wrist, the royal one, was too unexpected. It was too unexpected to have a voice!

Iris raised his voice to it.

”Your Royal Highness, are you very well?

”Yes. It's so awesome!

Me and Iris nod. All right. That'll do.

”Now it's Flora-Zamel's turn”

”Huh? Me too...?

”This experiment is designed to use composite ancient magic with the support of slime.”

Slime passes through magic.

In other words, the Iris, who connected the slime instead of the rope, would be magically connected.

If those two use ”Ancient Magic” at the same time, it should have the same effect as my ”Ancient Magic” twice (double).

”This slime...... May is my user demon, so I will do the magic transfer as I instruct too. Plus, support so that the two behaviors can be linked. In the meantime, try”

”Wah...... ok!

Then don't hesitate.

I also wrap a slime of May around Flora-Zamel's wrist.

”Can Flora-Zamel use The Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Bloo)?

”Yes, sir”

”Now try the operation and magic operation of 'Ancient Sorcery' at the right time with Your Highness”

”I get it......”

Iris and Flora-Zamel line up and draw the crest of the Flaming God Bullet (Yfried Blow) at their fingertips.

The timing of the spell chant is right.

I guess this is because we hear each other, voices.

But the movement is subtly off.

Drawing the crest of Ancient Sorcery at your fingertips requires delicate motion.

Doing that at the same time seems difficult after all.

”May, ask for support”

”(Phew Phew!

Iris and Flora-Zamel are connected by a stringed slime.

I don't know what that means.

”Phew!

”Ha, yes!? Now... did you pull it?

”... Phew Phew”

”Pull my arm down... you're here. Does that mean your arm is too high......?

”(Michi!

”Now you pushed it? That means it works faster......?

”Hey!

May moves into small pieces to adjust Flora-Zamel's movements.

As it were, they completed the operation of Ancient Sorcery.

”Activate the Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)!”

”is activated 'Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow)'!”
