Chapter 320: Rich Personality
「Incantations are meant to pique the interest of spirits. It’s like wordplay. The magic circle is the most important element, and other preparations might also be needed depending on the scale and scope of the wish. 」
Eh, but that would be troublesome! Still, I can’t deny that it’s interesting.
「Behold! This is the great work of my blood kin, the ability to【Teleport】to places that are beyond what the eyes can see! 」
Master Rin Rin brushed off the moss growing on the stone pillar — which was colossal so it doesn’t look like one up close.
A magic circle engraved on the stone came to view. Geometrical patterns and incantation lines covered by moss run down the pillar up to the ground.
「My blood kin slumbers beneath this. 」
「Ehhh. 」
It’s a grave!?
「The enchanted objects used in the magical field include souls, bones, manastones, vessels that contain the blessings of spirits and the like, but if we consider the compatibility to oneself, then the most suitable would be the life of one’s own bloodkin. 」
Oy, we’re rapidly spiraling from the fluffy cutesy fantasy genre to dark magic at this rate.
「Please lighten it up. 」
「We are not talking about live sacrifices, so no need to fret. Even I will slumber here eventually for the sake of my blood kin. 」
「I cannot imitate that, so lighten it up a bit more, please. 」
This is important, so I repeated myself.
「Hmph, so you’re dreaming that it’ll be something you can use easily and casually, huh. 」
Master Rin Rin scoffed as he stared at me with piercing cold eyes.
「In the first place, blood kin for me are… 」
Oh, does exist, but even if she’s to be especially buried, it’ll only be troublesome. Besides, I 【Teleport】already. Ahh, but…
「Hey, are you thinking about something improper? 」
Dinosso’s arms were folded, but he dropped his hands down as he talked to me.
「A certain hero from a certain place is currently trying to manipulate a certain mage into doing something like wiping out an entire bloodline, is what I think. 」
「Stop spouting scary nonsense! 」
Dinosso yelled.
「…. 」
Butler was contemplating!
「Wait a sec… Don’t tell me you recalled something like that? 」
Dinosso was flabbergasted!
「If I recall correctly, there’s a small nation beyond Shrum’s base kingdom, and it’s said that it used a powerful, large-scale magic around two years ago. Let’s investigate this information a bit more. 」
Butler replied.
Right, come to think of it, that large scale magic had been the reason why there were black spirits and powerful monsters back when I went monitor lizard hunting.
「Hero? What does that have to do with this? No matter how powerful they are, 【Teleportation】isn’t a knowledge they can easily gain. 」
Even the other two were now subjected to Master Rin Rin’s icy gaze. Is 【Teleport】 a secret family technique or something?
「One of the heroes possess 【Complete Magic】, so thanks to that she has this cheat ability to use all sorts of magic that’s recorded in this world. 」
If we consider how magic consumes spirits, then it seems that certain written conditions had to be met first. If my【Teleport】 is written somewhere, then Sis could probably use that too, but I’m not sure if mine is treated as magic in the first place.
「Magic circles are separate from the incantations. One won’t be able to activate the spell even if that person steals the other part. 」
「Well, she can probably activate it without looking at circles or reading incantations, so is it necessary to treat it separately like that? 」
I unwittingly dealt the final blow.
「….urk, my bloodkin’s trade secret technique! 」
He collapsed!
「That’s my own theory, and there’s still a possibility that they’re not yet interested in 【Teleportation】. 」
But just like what I first wished, they’ll probably realize it soon enough given how inconvenient traveling is in this world.
「It’s deeply ingrained in you, huh. 」
Dinosso sighed.
「What is? 」
「You’ve been quite repulsed when we talked about how Rigel’s blood kin were buried, but you’re totally fine when it’s related to the heroes, right? 」
「…Oh, you’re right, come to think of it. 」
So I’ve been completely ignoring anyone related to Sis, lumping them all together, be it ally or foe huh. Maybe it’s not a good thing that I’m so unconcerned, particularly about life and death… It’s as if I have this veiled sense that they’re in a completely different world from me, or maybe I lack that realism towards them.
Dinosso’s huge hand lightly patted my head as I mulled over it.
「Although it’s a good thing to face the source of your stress, it is also important to detach ourselves from the root of toxicity. Jean-sama, you’re far more expressive now compared to the first time we met. 」
Butler smiled gently.
「I don’t know what’s going on, but keep in mind that both love and hate bind you to the other, albeit through different vectors, so you have to be careful. And alas, you guys should comfort me too! 」
Master Rin Rin sluggishly brushed his hair as he stood up. Eh, did his aura just change?
「Ou, you’re finally out huh, Hauron. 」
Dinosso chuckled.
「Hauron? 」
Oh, come to think of it, why do I feel like the mage’s name they told me before was different? Like, if it’s Rin Rin or Ran Ran then I should’ve definitely remembered that.
「Handsome Lad, I’m in your care, okay~ I’m Hauron Rigelmoon. 」
Master Rin Rin, the person who had been acting like Mr. Tough Old Guy earlier, suddenly winked at me.
「This guy uses different personalities depending on the situation, and this current one is his actual personality. 」
Dinosso smirked smugly as if his prank was a success.
He’s burly, he looks like he’s gonna beat someone with that staff, he’s a mage, an old man to boot, and now his ‘inner’ personality changed into an effeminate guy…!? Isn’t his character way too rich!? Anyway —
「Why is this personality the one named Hauron? 」
It’s common sense that this should be Rin Rin!!
