Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

Now stop bothering Yoraicchi D:< Konjiki no Wordmaster Chapter 29: One Nights Experience Using Pry to view her status, he found that lies would definitely not work on her. This power seemed to be able to see inside ones heart as well, and it was quite a high-class word, though its effects could be improved if he could imagine the effects better. So do you believe me now? A little Thats unfortunate. She found the fact that she couldnt completely gain his trust a bit unfortunate, but she was delighted when she saw him cram the Vanyer into his mouth one after the other. The Vanyer were tastier than he had expected, he thought as he ate them. They felt like Gummies to the touch, but they somehow made him want to stuff them into his mouth. (Its that. Once you start, you can never stop. That sort of thing.) In Japan, he had often faced the same problem with small candies. After you finish one, you find yourself reaching for another, and eventually you cant stop eating them. The taste came in many varieties, so it was impossible to get tired of it. Please partake in that Melnym as well. Hiiro gazed at the white, milk-like drink inside of his cup. Its smell was reminiscent of peaches. He took a sip. (I see. Its a sweet, refreshing juice. But, it tastes more like apple than peach.) He was able to determine that it was some sort of fruit juice. He had no idea what it was made out of, but it was the type of drink youd want to enjoy when you get out of the bath. Is it to your liking? Well, its not bad. Fufu. Thats good. She held her hands together and smiled as if she were a little girl. Her appearance was that of an adult woman in her late 20s, but when she smiled, she let out a youthful aura. But it seems like Ive been ignoring the Humas for too long. For them to even be able to use summoning magic now. But in order to summon the Heroes, it seems they made their own princesses into sacrifices. Its a idiotic concept. That was one of the reasons Hiiro wanted to leave the country as soon as possible. No matter the reason, he didnt want to serve a king who would kill off his own daughters. Why do you not act with the other summoned ones? Ah? Of course its because I dont want to. Why must I bury my own will and listen to anothers foolish orders? Hiiros speech seemed to have hit something. Anyways, why do I have to travel and work with people I dont like. Theres no way that would be any fun. Fufufu. I see. So does that mean that you consider the people youre travelling with right now to be your comrades, at least? No, they just have their uses, so I just happen to be with them. Fufufu. Is that so? So from now on, you will never fight for the sake of the Humas race? And Im asking why I have to go out of my way to break my back for this country. Cant these people sort out their own problems on their own? Nio narrowed her eyes and stared at Hiiro. Then what would you do if the ones at your side right now were to be injured? I told you, didnt I? Im merely with them because they have their uses. I see. Well, while I dont love it, were together for now. If something cruel and unfair happens to them before my eyes, then Ill take the appropriate measures. However, if they bring misfortune onto me with their own carelessness, I have no obligation to stay. You are a strange person. Perhaps you would call this tactlessness? Or maybe honesty? Is that so? A majority of people only care about themselves, dont they? But they care about those watching them and public opinion, so they act like theyre doing things for others. Wanting to become strong is never a desire for the sake of others. Its because you dont want your comrades to die and leave you alone. You become strong for yourself. T-that sure is a twisted thought process. Of course, as it was his own mind, Hiiro did not think it was twisted in the slightest. Ive decided to do the things I like for myself. If someone tries to unjustly take my things away, then I wont forgive them. If they dont involve themselves with me, then I wont bother them. Generally, I just dont have any interest in others. I see. You sure are an interesting person. She held her hand to her mouth and laughed. By the way, why cant the others see Phoem? The red one said something like that. Hmm? Isnt it because the others arent interested? You were that sort of character? Worrying that her true character was leaking out, Nio once again narrowed her eyes at Hiiro. Fufufu, I was a little mean in my wording. I apologize. About your previous question, in order to detect our existence, one requires a high level of magic. But thats not all. Its also based on the nature of the beholder. Nature? Yes, the people who talk about communicating with Spirits andFairies are beings of similar constitution. Wait a second. Im human, and I have no wings. That isnt what I meant. Ah good. He was worried about what he would do if wings suddenly sprouted. We are a sort of existence that lives more in the world of the mind than the physical world. The mind? Yes. Were a race heavily linked to magic. We definitely do have a physical body, but those are mostly vessels to house our magic. I see. Is that why theFairies all had similar appearances? The only difference was their hair color, and other than that, they were pretty much identical. If their hair was of the same color, Hiiro felt that he wouldnt be able to distinguish them. It was as if they were identical twins. Yes, to say our physical body is but a costume may be an overstatement, but to the Phoem, there is no point in having differing physical forms. TheFairies are especially similar. And? Since youre mostly an existence made of magic, its hard for humans to see you? Then why is there such difficulty forHumas alone? The Gabranth dont have much magic either, right? Thats because theGabranth were existences close to us from the start. They love nature, live alongside it, and die by its law. That environment has caused them to develop a nature that is able to perceive us. It was an answer Hiiro was satisfied with. Its something that could be seen from looking at the difference between theHumas andGabranth continents. The Beastmen greatly valued nature. He had confirmed it from the sky. TheHumas were instead gifted with wisdom. They used nature and altered it to make their own lives easier. However, as always, the Beastmen continued to live among nature. And it was that decision that allowed them to develop a nature that could seePhoem. But why could I see them? Thats because of your naturally high magic and because your soul is similar to ours. Hmm Anyways, I should see it as an advantage, right? Um Perhaps? I mean its like that, right? I can do some things that other humans cant. Talent truly is an unfair concept. Fufufu. Why do you laugh? No, I just found it interesting that there were people like you among the humans as well. I understand Oruns interest in you. I dont really care, but Yes? Seconds please. Saying that, Hiiro held out his plate. Somehow, the mountain ofVanyer had vanished. Fufufu, you eat well. For a while, they continued to talk and exchange questions. And eventually, Hiiro said it was time for him to return. Nio made a gate like thing, linking him back to the hill he was on. Ah, please wait! Please wait! And suddenly, Orun came running over. The other three were with him. Youre returning there, right? Right? Y-yeah. His habit of repeating his last line twice was getting annoying. I give you this! Give you this! What was handed over was a ring. Whats this? Fufu. That seems to be aFaerie Ring. Its a sign that youve received the trust of theFaeries. Orun was pleased with his first meeting with a human. If youd like, I want you to accept it. Well, Ill take whats given to me. Perhaps it could sell for a bit, he thought to himself. But he definitely wouldnt say it. (TL: she can read your mind, dude.) And this is from me. Nio produced a mass of magic like the one he had seen from the old fortune teller, and she pushed it into his chest. O-oy, this is? He was a little shaken as he asked. Thats an item that links you here. It will let us meet again. W-wait a second! I dont really want- The talk was very interesting. Bye bye! Bye bye! I-Im not coming back. Ah, and if you happen to meet theSpirit King, make sure to give him my regards. S-spirit? What are you ta- And the space around Hiiro twisted, and he was enveloped by darkness. By the time he came to his senses, he was on top of the hill again. And Its Already morning. It seems he stayed up all night. He grimaced from the bright sunrise as he stood still for a while.
