Chapter 261 Stranger visitor

It was a continuation of a dream-

The snow melts and the afternoon is fine. Arcana was sitting in a chair and reading a book.

An owl flew and screamed, sandwiching a letter in the window. Arcana opens a window with a strange expression.

It's warmer than before, but the air is still chilly. Quickly retrieving the letter, she closed the window.

Looking down, it was written as "Invitation from Mid Hayes Castle." It was a strange arcana, but we know that Mid-Haze is the largest city in Dilheid.

The address was that of Anos.

"Your brother"

She speaks to her brother sleeping near the fireplace. Anos woke up and looked at Arcana. T ran s la te d b y jpm tl.ｃ o ｍ

"What happened?"

"You received an invitation from the castle. Owl-san brought it."

"Hmm. Have you come again?"

In the hands of Anos, Arcana put the invitation. He immediately puts it in the fire of the fire.

Open your eyes, as if Arcana was surprised.

"Well, you burn it?"

Tr ans la t ed b y ｊpｍt l.ｃo ｍ "Because the things that are always written are the same."

"What is written?"

Arcana looks into her brother's face, curiously.

"I want to come to the castle. A while ago, I had a bit of a rampage in Mid-Haze. It looks like I was watching at that time."

"Oh, okay ...?"

"What a castle soldier won't catch. And if I go, it'll be accompanied by a dragon without exception.

"……I see"

Arcana strokes her chest as if relieved.

"Sleep again. If anything, wake up."

"Yeah, sorry"

Demon eye "And then, don't go to places I can't reach"

Anos says to pierce the nail. In a hurry, Arcana shook his head from side to side.

"Oh, I don't do that."

"I'll do it."

With that in mind, Anos closes his eyes again. I immediately heard my breath.

Arcana looks at her sleeping face with her index finger. Anos did not seem to get up. T ra n s l ated b y jp mt l.ｃ o ｍ

"I already slept."

She returned to her chair and put her book back on the shelf. Then go to the entrance and open the door quietly.

While breathing the outside air, you can stretch out and walk in the forest. Demon eye Of course, as his brother told me, it was within his reach.

An owl jumped from above as he walked leisurely watching the plants begin to sprout.

The owl who brought the invitation earlier. As it descended just below the ground, it shrouded in light and changed from an owl to a black cat.

"Wow"

Arcana stared at the black cat. The black cat looked back at Arcana and walked slowly through the woods, almost as if she would follow.

"Wait!"

Arcana looked back at the house for a moment. Desperate, but she will follow the black cat, as long as she is within reach of her brother.

After walking for a while, an unfamiliar sight came into her eyes.

A person is sitting on the root of a tree and leaning his back. Purple hair and blue eyes. He was a man wearing a cloak.

The black cat ran to him and jumped on his knees. The man turned towards Arcana, stroking the cat's head.

"Hello Arcana"

So the man shouted. Arcana shakes her body.

Tran s lat ed b y Ｊp ｍ tl.co m "Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. Even if you're asleep, you'll find him if you step further."

He looked good and had a gentle tone. Evil Eye Just between Arcana and the man was within reach of Anos telling her.

"Why ... do you know my name? Who are you?"

"I met you when I was younger, but you probably don't remember. I'm Celis. Arcana, I'm counting on you."

Be wary, Arcana says.

"... What?"

"I want Anos to give this."

Celis retrieves the letter and flips it with her finger. Flying in the air fluffy, the letter fell into the hands of Arcana.

It's the same invitation that Anos had just dropped.

"Oh, did you come to catch your brother?"

"Catch it? Why?"

Arcana stumbles.

"... Because ... your brother went on a rampage in Mid-Haze ..."

"Oh, yes, it must be a rampage, because his magic is not extraordinary at this young age, and he still has that tremendous power now. His magical power is enough to burn the country. He has too much power to control magic yet. "

Celis said with an innocent smile.

T r a ns l at e d by ｊp ｍ tl.com "I'm here to pick him up. He's the king of this Dilheid. I want him to use his power wherever he can."

Curiously, Arcana looked at Celis.

It didn't seem like the man in front of him was lying, but he wouldn't have thought that his brother would lie to himself.

"I think Anos wants that too. Do you know what Anos is doing late into the night?"

"... you're studying magic"

"Yes, in this outlying area, well, well, you can do some magical research there, but it looks like you're a bit stuck."

Celis stares at Arcana. But his blue eyes did not seem to see anything.

"It's not surprising. He's a kid alone, and he has such an incredibly powerful magic that his wisdom doesn't apply. It's extremely difficult to approach the magical abyss on my own. But, perhaps, with just one trigger, he will quickly dive into an area that no one can reach. "

Don't praise or be afraid, but simply tell the facts, says Celis.

"And I can give that opportunity."

"... Your brother is being targeted by a dragon. It's annoying to the people in the castle."

Arcana finally said, and Ceris nodded as if she had scored.

"Oh, yes.

Arcana floats a mysterious expression.

"What?"

"Do you know the story of a liar Dora?"

Arcana nodded.

"Why did Dora keep lying so much? She wouldn't have gained anything when she lied."

"... it was fun?"

"It may be, but she may just want to entertain the villagers who are getting bored in the countryside."

"Dora did a gentle lie?"

Remembering his brother's words, Arcana asked.

"I think so. How about you?"

"But if you lie softly, you'll have to be happy.

Celis nodded at Arcana's words.

"That's what it is. A gentle lie doesn't mean you'll be saved. I want to pray that he won't be like that."

Turning his gaze toward the house, he said meaningfully.

"Arcana. How about? If you persuade him, I'll grant your wish."

"My wish ...?"

"Yes, I wish. I'll grant you any wish. I'm living here in a remote area all the time. Do you want to go to town?"

Arcana thought for a moment and shook her head.

"... I don't go because my brother is lonely.

"So what do you want to do?"

"What I want to do ..."

Arcana looks down and thinks for a while. Eventually, she raised her face and said,

"... I can use magic like my brother ...?"

Arcana said, not scared.

"I know ... I always fight with the dragon and I'm sorry. When I can use magic, I can defeat the dragon instead of my brother. I can build a house And I can start a fire. ''

"You're kind, Arcana"

When Celis smiled, Arcana laughed happily.

"The reason you can't use magic is probably because it's sealed so that your magic doesn't leak."

"sealed……?"

"If you come this far, you can solve it."

Arcana thinks.

"It only takes three seconds. Don't worry about him."

"……Yup……"

Arcana gently walks to Celis, as she decides. Then she painted a magic circle on her body.

It is a technique that prevents the sealing magic used by Arcana. The light went into the arcana, and the next moment, magic particles spilled out of her source.

"Wow ..."

"Have you learned the magic formula?"

Arcana nods.

"But I couldn't use it."

"It's okay now. Try it."

Draw a magic circle using the magical power full of arcana. It constituted the technique as she thought, from which the fire spilled out.

Flame This is magic of <>. But that's huge. Serris, who had swollen enough to burn out the big tree, drowned it out with magic.

"Hey, it's done."

Arcana nods happily.

"If you want, I'll teach you the magic to escape the dragon."

"... is there such magic?"

"Of course. If you teach magic, would you persuade Anos?"

"Yeah. If the dragon doesn't hit me, I guess my brother will also go to the castle. He loves magic."

"That was good. I'll help."

Celis laughs relievedly. The expression was as if the goodness of the people had spread.

"Once you're ready, come here again tomorrow. Until then, I'll remove the seal."

Celis releases the magic circle she drew in Arcana. Then, her seal worked again and the magical power was suppressed.

"Oh, yes, because the invitation is very important to Anos. Don't look at it."

"e……?"

"Can you promise?"

"……Yup"

"And then tomorrow."

Flying A magic circle of <> is drawn on Celis' body. I wondered if the magic had been put in, and suddenly my body rose and took off.
