Chapter 447
Chapter 447
When we arrived at the training ground, these children lined up in a vertical row of three facing us and began to rotate their bodies up and down with a slight difference in height.
Then, their faces were not overlapping each other, and they were drawing a circle with each face.
It was like a "dance" I had seen before.
"Master Rid. We have been waiting for you!"
"・・・・・・ But, Dan. What are you three doing doing dancing around like that?"
'Oh, that. Aren't these moves pretty interesting?"
Although they greet each other, Dan, Zab, and Lowe, the triplets of the raccoon people tribe, show no signs of stopping their movements.
Capella was emotionless, but Diana let out a small sigh with a look of dismay.
These three are the three worst acts of children in the Second Order: mischievousness, mischievousness, and trickery.
By the way, the term "the three worst acts of children" was made up by Diana to express the feelings of the maids who were pushed around by them.
But children are just like that.
Hmmm.... Well, it should be more interesting like this. Zabu, Lowe. "It's an application of the monstrous art of partial monstrosity!"
'Yes!!"
'I got it!"
Dan called out to the group, and they launched their hauntings.
Before long, the first one, Dan, transforms into me, the second one, Zab, into Capella, and the third one, Lowe, into Diana's face.
The height remains the same.
Then they continue their movements.
"How do you like it? This should be interesting, right?"
Dan and the others smile broadly.
I felt the blood drain from my face and my emotions cool down.
I see, it seems that having one's face used for tomfoolery is an act that turns people against one's will.
Just when I was thinking that, Diana gave them a fist bump.
Oh my⁉ Sister, that's terrible!"
Dan and the others' faces returned to normal with the impact of the fist bump.
They were looking at Diana mockingly with tears in their eyes and their eyes looking up at her.
But it didn't work on her, as she was used to seeing their behavior.
Rather, they made Diana pale.
'It can't be interesting⁉ It's beyond rude. Are you making fun of me?!"
Dan and his brothers are known as the three brothers of the Raccoon Man tribe, and if it were only their faces, they would be quite pretty boys.
However, they do not have a good reputation because of their terrible character and behavior.
He is especially viewed as an enemy by the girls.
He is not a bad boy at heart, but he often engages in dangerous activities such as peeping into bathrooms and asking to touch the girls' bodies in the name of "exploring the art of transformation".
Besides, there is no malicious intent on the part of the three, and their words and actions are truly out of curiosity and inquisitiveness.
I wonder what is wrong with exploration. That we will be able to use advanced monstrous techniques. It will surely benefit you all, won't it? When I point this out to them, they are almost always unconcerned and do not show any signs of remorse.
In fact, I felt the quality was so bad.
You guys. Diana is right, you can't play tricks anymore. You are in front of Master Rid.
When Capella stepped forward and threatened, Dan and the others trembled.
"Oh, I'm sorry, "
The three of them bowed their heads in unison.
Dan and his group were part of the Frontier Special Forces (hereafter referred to as the Special Forces Organization), an intelligence unit established within the Second Knight Order.
They belong to the Special Intelligence Squad, whose main mission is to collect information.
Since Capella is in charge of the management of the Frontier Special Forces Agency, he is their direct superior.
By the way, Diana's position in the Second Order is that of my escort and assistant.
Seeing the three of them following Capella's words, Diana let out a tired sigh.
'Huh. ・・・・・・. Why do you listen to what Capella-san says while you don't listen to what I say?"
"Huh? Because Capella is very kind."
'Mm-hmm. The fist bone you just gave me was also loving".
"Capella-san's fist is cold. Right, it is as cold and unforgiving as an ice-cold iron."
The three of them squinted happily.
Just by the look on their faces, I'd say they were really cute and handsome boys.
Deana is shaking her head in dismay.
When I look at Capella, he remains expressionless, saying nothing.
He used to be part of the Renalute's dark side, so I guess he has a ruthless streak that I don't know about either.
Dan and the others may have described him as "as cold as iron," but Diana didn't seem to agree.
I don't know how she feels about that, though.
But it's true that she has a good heart and is like a big sister to everyone in the Second Order
"Well, I think it's time to get started. As usual, I'll be counting on you."
I turned the conversation around, and Dan and the others looked at each other and nodded.
"Oh, good . We'll be disguised as Capella-san."
Soon after that, Dan and the others looked exactly like Capella.
"Then let's go."
'Yes, please."
Capella, who was standing by my side, approached them, and I closed my eyes.
Master Rid," said Capella. I heard Capella's voice overlaid with, "Very well."
I slowly open my eyes and see four Capellas in front of me, standing the same, staring at me with blank expressions on their faces.
If I didn't know any better, I would think they were quadruplets.
'Okay, then, here we go.'
Taking a deep breath, I activate the 'electric field' and focus.
Then, I search for the difference in magical power as well as the presence.
'・・・・・・ yeah. The second Capella from the right is the real one, right?"
'Brilliant.'
The other Capellas immediately returned to their original appearance as Capella bailed out.
"Mmhmm. It's a shame for those of us who have been discovered."
Dan puffed out his cheeks, and Zab and Lowe nodded with the same expression.
"Haha . But this is all thanks to your cooperation. Thank you."
They did not expect to be thanked.
The three of them blinked their eyes.
Oh, no, I hope I can be of help to you," , and started to paint their cheeks together in a happy and shy manner.
Looking at them this way, I see that they are, at heart, more honest children than I had expected.
What I am doing now is magic to sense the presence of the target.
By improving the accuracy of the "electric field," training to detect mimicry by magic power.
In other words, it is a countermeasure against " haunted magic.
According to Dan and his brother , the haunted art is a magic that covers the entire body with magic power and mimics the way the magician imagines in his/her mind.
The greater the difference in physique between the magician and the object to be mimicked, the more magic power is consumed.
If the imagination is weak, the magic will be incomplete, and even if the magic is activated, the object will look nothing like the magician imagined.
In effect, it will fail.
That is why Dan and others are working hard every day to increase the accuracy of the magic's success, they say.
Well, I don't think all of their methods are correct.
"Master Rid. Compared to when we first started, your accuracy has improved considerably."
Diana, who was by my side, smiled happily.
She was right. At first I was frustrated because I couldn't tell the difference at all when I activated the electric field.
But as I continued, I began to sense that there were slight differences in magic power from person to person.
Once I got that knack, all that remained was repetitive practice.
Now, if I have the time to concentrate, I can get a general idea of what I'm doing, but it's not something I can apply in a real battle or in the field.
I shook my head lightly.
Thanks, but I'm not done yet. I need to be able to recognize it at a glance.
Dan grinned at that.
We won't let you do that easily. We can't just continue to be discovered without saying a word. Let's ask Master Rid why he can sense us and see how we can further improve the accuracy of our 'haunted art." That is also the purpose of this training.
I understand, Dan. Although the" haunted arts " are terrifying when used, they are excellent magic to use.
In other words, it's a friendly competition.
Or, to put it another way, it's like playing weasels. Dan and others helped me after that.
Afterwards, with the help of Dan and the others, I continued to train myself to spot the haunted magic.
