.
The Room of Time’s Interstice. That’s a magic that is called as a secret technique even among all the magic of the great sage.
In the first place the value of what is called magic is greater the fewer alternative means it has.
For example, there are many alternative methods to create fire or breaking things. Going to the extreme, you can even say that you don’t even need to use magic to cause that kind of thing.
Then, what kind of method don’t have any alternative means?
There are several representative examples.
First is some types of healing. Healing lost body part, like arm or eye fell under this. That kind of injury can’t be healed with the present medical technique. Such healing is in the realm of miracle.
Next is space manipulation. Things like teleportation or accessing other dimension, and moreover moving to another world, etc.
And then time manipulation. Something like manipulating the flow of time is impossible without using magic. That’s exactly why many magicians took up the challenge. In the end the great sage Merlin Enlight is the only one who has managed it so far.
(Even that genius of demon king army’s four heavenly kings was unable to perform time manipulation.)
I have taken a look at the magic formula of the great sage Merlin Enlight, and I have also been taught the fundamental theory that led to it, even so the best that I can do is only imitating him.
I had made a magic formula to accelerate only my own time.
Although, this magic has no utility at all.
Its mana consumption is heinous. My best record in maintaining it is 23 seconds. Accelerating my own by thrice is my limit, and after doing such thing all my mana was used up and my head overheated from the mental processing burden.
Rather than going through something like that just to accelerate three times faster, it will be far more effective just to apply powerful body enhancement on myself.
(Even if it’s a ritual magic that borrow the power of leyline, something like stretching one day until thirty times longer is just……as expected from the zenith of this world’s magician. The man who I should aim at.)
I’m watching the artistic magic formula that great sage is constructing to learn from it.
I entrusted the packing to Tita. Though she looked like that, she is used to make preparations for a journey.
「I’m finished, stupid disciple. You can enter anytime. Also, take this.」
「This is?」
「I wrote the training you need to do in order to use magic together with Marle.」
I flipped the thick book that is handed to me.
「A book with content of this quality and quantity. It’s not something that sensei has made just now……you already knew that I would pick this choice?」
「I’m still Ork’s teacher despite appearance. I at least know just how naïve you can be. Learn all of these in one month no matter what.」
He made an expression with a seriousness that he never showed before this.
「If sensei is putting that much emphasize into it, there must be a considerable reason for that.」
「Umu, the true demon king who cornered your father will come to this city in half a day. One or two cities will get devoured to the bone if you leave him alone.」
The true demon king. It’s not a demon king occupation like what my father or Lilith held, but a special being that is given power from an existence that can be called as a god of this world.
「Originally the demon king should come here quicker, but your father and mother held him back and whittled down his power.」
「Won’t it be better if sensei healed me earlier if you already know about that? Perhaps if you have told me about this demon king’s existence and his plan to attack from before, then Marle and I could train together from far earlier……」
「I couldn’t do that. Creating Marle and having her raised at your place required considerable time. I also have a reason why I didn’t tell you about the demon king’s attack. Marle isn’t something that grows from being given mana. It’s the growth of her soul that is essential. If I told you to quicken Marle’s growth and teach her emotion faster because the demon king is going to attack, you would be impatient……her soul wouldn’t grown if it was that kind of emotion that was pushed on her.」
The great sage entrusted Marle to me after seeing ahead that far.
Also it was because I poured my focus on the objective of making a sweets that can satisfy him that I didn’t direct any negative feeling to Marle and able to interact with her with a straightforward feeling.
I have been dancing on the palm of his hand the whole time.
「I understand. ……No, if the attack will come in half a day, I won’t make it in time if I stay inside the room for one day won’t I?」
「My daughters and me will buy you the remaining half a day……fortunately we have enough willpower after enjoying this fun festival. But, half a day will be our limit. We will buy you time, whittle down the enemy’s strength, and wound him. But, that’s as far as we will be able to do. This isn’t a matter of overall strength, what can oppose that thing is a similarly out of the norm existence. Now that Mireille is injured and cannot fight, you are the only one remaining.」
I recalled Tou-san’s heavily injured figure.
There is no way Kaa-san is uninjured while Tou-san is in such a horrible state.
I noticed. Kaa-san used some kind of method to patch up just her outer appearance, but she is also injured as badly as Tou-san.
「To think such thing was going on behind the fun sweets making」
Although it was a necessity, it still weighed me down.
「Let me give you a warning. I love my daughters more than anything else. Even more than you my disciple. That’s why……if it’s necessary, I will even trample on your feeling.」
「Is sensei talking about what will happen if I’m unable to use magic together with Marle after training inside the Room of Time’s Interstice?」
「Yeah, no matter how much you refuse, I’ll erase Marle’s emotion and implant her into your as a mere part. Your wound will recover with that. You will be able to fight. Do you think that I’m coldhearted?」
Coldhearted huh……no, wrong. That’s not it.
「No, sensei is too kind.」
Yes, actually Marle’s growth is just barely passable.
If he is a cold-blooded person, he won’t give any consideration to my selfishness and use up Marle right away in this moment.
But he doesn’t do that. Rather he and even his daughters are going to give it their all for Marle and my sake.
Then, there is only thing that I have to do in order to respond to that.
「I’ll definitely return stronger than before my magic circuit was broken……sensei prepared something in Marle for that right?」
A lot of my doubts are cleared from the explanation just now.
「Hou, try to explain it.」
「I had been holding doubt all this time. Marle should be created by absorbing my flesh and a piece of my soul to be my offshoot, but she ended up as an adorable pretty girl.」
Even if she was created just to be a part to harvest spare part from, although the aim from that is to take her magic circuit, it’s not desirable for her to be so different that even her gender is different from me.
There is no way the great sage Merlin Enlight would make such blunder.
「Continue.」
「There were several hints. The swordsmanship that Marle used isn’t mine but Kaa-san’s, her appearance is also similar with Kaa-san, Marle felt nostalgic when I returned to my house in my home village, she was scared with Kaa-san……Marle’s true identity is a clone that was created not just from my flesh and soul, but from Kaa-san’s flesh and soul too. She isn’t my clone, rather she should be called as my little sister instead.」
「Do you understand why I did such thing?」
「It’s in order to thicken the hero’s blood inside me even more. In the first place my blood is getting unable to endure Evol Ork’s strength. By taking in the blood of Kaa-san who is a hero, my blood became able to endure to not burst just barely. ……And then, waiting after this is a monster that I have to fight with my seal released. In that case I’ll have to thicken my hero’s blood so that it can endure much more power. That was why sensei used the endlessly evolving slime as liaison to strengthen Kaa-san’s blood even more.」
But, there would be no change in me if I just simply absorbed Kaa-san’s blood.
However, it will be a different story if there is the endlessly evolving slime that possessed infinite adaptability acting as cushion in between.
With that I will be able to draw out a lot more power than before.
「Fume, so you found out……yes, I had prepared to create Marle even before you requested me to heal you. I was starting to research it around the time you departed from orc’s village.」
One of my question is cleared with that.
Even for Merlin Enlight, I don’t think that it’s possible for him to prepare an existence like Marle in such short time.
「Kaa-san was also an accomplice in this wasn’t she?」
「Exactly……now then, that Marle has arrived. Do your best.」
Marle came running and leaped on my chest.
「Otou-san, Marle will work hard in the training!」
「Yeah, let’s do our best.」
I kept Marle in my embrace while standing on the center of the gigantic magic circle that the great sage drew.
「Then sensei, I’m going.」
「Umu, do your best.」
I waved my hand to the great sage Merlin Enlight, and then the magic circle twinkled and Marle and me got sent to the Room of Time’s Interstice.
