Volume 2 — Chapter 6 — Part 1 Overnight Incident



— — —



It happened late at night. It was a time when darkness reigned so deep that even the animals and insects were silent.




“What happened?”




I recently developed a new magic called [Proximity Sensing] 【接近感知】, which could be activated even when unconscious. One of the intelligence team was caught by it. I raised myself from the bed and went to the ceiling where he was hiding. (Tired: Hit me up if you got a better name for this.)


The intelligence agent fluttered down from the ceiling and knelt down in front of me. Then they began his report in a condescending manner.





“My apologies for bothering you so late at night. Several bandits of unknown affiliations have invaded the Territory's Capital. The total number is twenty. Fifteen were killed immediately after the invasion, but we are still engaging with the remaining five.”

“That's a lot of bandits. Did you get any information from those you captured?”




For normal assassins, the number could be counted on one hand at most. Besides, my well-trained men killed them in an instant. It was a little—no, it was a pretty complicated case. That was probably why they reported it to me even though it was the middle of the night.





“No, all of them committed suicide by self-destructive magic right after their capture. Not a single corpse was left…Our apologies.”

“Any injuries?”

“A few people sustained minor injuries during the battle.”

“No need to apologize then. They are very skilled professionals who even managed to pull off self-destruct magic. I have nothing to criticize instead I should praise you all for defeating most of them.”





With an ordinary opponent, the best they could do would be suicide by using poison. If they blew themselves up and left no bodies behind, it was safe to assume that they have a good reason to do so.




“Can't you determine anything from who you're engaging?”




If the ones who killed themselves were impossible, could we get any information from the ones who were still alive?


When I asked him this question, he paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.




“This is just my impression, but there was an atmosphere that they were better at magic combat than melee combat. Their use of magic was stranger than usual, or rather, it was similar to Shion-sama.”

“—What?”

I immediately deployed my detection technique after hearing the agent's information. Immediately after, the ceiling of the room exploded.




“An expert!?”




A very talented person indeed. The agent was not surprised and immediately slips into a standing position where they could escort me.


Normally I would have given them a word of praise, but I didn't have time right now. My detection technique caught the worst kind of situation.





“Tsk.”





There was no time to spare. I immediately opened [Gate] without any explanation to my subordinate. Then, without a moment's pause, I jumped into it.


Then the next moment, explosive flames spread across my field of vision.


It really was paper-thin timing. A massive explosion was in front of me, and Caron was with Shion who was badly injured behind me. I was on the brink of losing my beloved sister and the lives of my subordinate, who was like a family to me.


I had anticipated this turn of events and calmly dealt with it. I evoked [ Cover Texture] to wrap us, completely concealing us from others' view. It was an unfinished version of the [Different World(Baule del Tezoro)]*. The surroundings were painted white and the three of us were isolated from the rest of the world.



(Tired: Raws【異相世界(バウレ・デ・テゾロ)】I still don’t know if this is the correct translation but Baule del Tesoro means Treasure Chest in Italian.)



An attack of that scale would probably have blown up Caron's private room, but now was not the time to worry about that.


I turned around and check Caron and Shion again.


First of all, the latter was in a critical condition. It seems that she was hit by the attack from the enemy, and she was so badly injured that it was obvious at a glance that her life was in danger. Specifically, she had three deep cuts on his back. The first one was near the heart.


The former one's body was unscathed, but she was mentally on the edge. She was clinging to Shion, weeping profusely. Judging from the way he was muttering “I’m sorry” over and over again, her serious injury must have been the result of protecting Caron.


(Tired: This is a very traumatic scene for a kid whose under ten years old...)


Caron was trying to heal Shion with light magic, but magic was strongly connected to mental image—Mind. She was extremely agitated, and the magic did not activate well because of it. While she was languishing, the light on Shion’s life was diminishing, which made her even more impatient. it was a vicious cycle.


Caron must have seen even more horrific scenes. There was the civil war in Byakudai territory, and even when she was helping out at the church, there were emergency patients who were seriously ill.


The reason for this agitation, however, seemed to be Shion who was in mortal danger. She wasn’t accustomed to a situation where someone close to her was about to die. She was not prepared for it. Hence, she was in her current state of mind.


This was my fault. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I must have been under the illusion that my people were not in danger, because they always came back safely, even though they were often in danger. I should have told myself better.


However, time would not return even if I regret it. I have to do what I could for now.





“Caron.”

“O-Onii-sama…?”




I knelt down in front of her and stared into her eyes.


Caron widened her eyes, she was probably so confused that she didn’t even notice my presence. But that stagnation was only momentary. Soon, her mind begins to shake violently.




“O-Onii-sama, Shion is…Shion is…!”




Her red eyes filled with tears, and her voice trembled.


I grabbed her by both shoulders and slowly told her to calm down.




“Calm down, Caron. Let's treat Shion first. With your magic, you can do that.”

“I-I can’t Onii-sama…I can’t cast my magic at all…! This never happened before…B-But if I don’t hurry, Shion will die…!”




But she shook her head powerlessly. All she could do was exhale a sense of helplessness.


I quietly clenched my jaw so that Caron would not find out. My anger towards the enemy who has cornered Caron’s mind and harmed Shion to this point—and by extension, anger at myself for not preventing this from happening—wells up inside me.


However, I don’t have time to vent it now. I needed to help Calon, who was experiencing her first setback, recover as quickly as possible.


If it were true, I would have told her off slowly and gently. But there was no time to do so. Theon's life was in great danger, and the [Different World(Baule del Tezoro)] that was currently being developed was not yet complete, so it won't last more than a few minutes. It would be a long time before we could sit down and talk if we miss this opportunity.


I looked at Caron with fierce determination.


My powerful gaze made her shoulders tremble.




“Caron, take a deep breath.”

“O-Onii-sama…?”

“Take a deep breath.”

“But…”

“No buts. Take a deep breath.”

“.......”





Caron gave up on my stubborn attitude. Confused, she slowly began to take her breath.




“You don't have to think about breathing well. Breathe in and out as much as you can.”




Saying so, she then repeatedly breathes awkwardly


Gradually, however, the stiffness of her breathing loosened. At the same time, the sorrow on her face began to fade.


It was not just the effect of deep breathing. It was only a kicker, and in fact, I had invoked [Calm].


The reason why I didn't use it from the beginning was that I judged that even if I used it with Caron, who was greatly agitated, would return to it soon after.


My Mind Magic was only temporarily effective, and the duration of its effect depends on the mental state of the person in question. Putting aside the short battle, I couldn't rely on Mind Magic alone this time.


That's why I admonished her with words and took deep breaths to release the tension in her body. Then [Calm] seemed to work perfectly thanks to that.





“Then, Cast the magic to Shion.”

“Y-Yes.”

“It's all right. You can just follow the procedure slowly.”





Caron nodded at my words and held out her hand to Shion. Then, with the words “[Extra Heal],” a soft light filled the surrounding area.


Without a doubt, Caron's magic had been activated. It may not have been the real deal, but it was a big step.


After a minute or so, the light subsided. Shion’s injuries were clearly gone. Her crisis was over.


Caron, recognizing this, began to shed tears again.




“UUUuuuuuu….I'm so glad. I’m really…really…”




After confirming Shion's safety, the thread of her tension has been cut. She continued to cry.


I, too, relaxed my shoulders a little. I was worried about Shion, too, just that I didn't have time to panic.


And just at the right time, [Different World(Baule del Tezoro)] collapsed. A sound like broken glass echoed, and the surroundings returned to their original state.
