Infinite Gacha - Chapter 446

?

Saint Mya, what's wrong?"

Yes, I got a letter from that brother of mine. ......

Six Principality Magic Academy girls' dormitory.

Miya received a letter from her own brother Elio.

undefinedThe letter itself is not unusual.

Mya herself had sent a letter to let him know what was going on, and she had also received a letter from Erio with money he had sent back to her.

The updates are quite mundane, and since she understands that Erio has been working hard to save up the money to send to her, she has been saving it so that she doesn't waste it.

I thought the content of this letter was similar, but ...... was a little different.

The money was the same as usual, but Erio wrote in the letter: "Is there any store in the Principality of Six that has a good reputation for its signature girl? The first time I saw the "M" in the name, I was surprised to see it.

It was a kind of passion that is not usually found in the letters we receive.

Moreover, it seems that Erio is planning to visit the Principality of Six in the near future, but his purpose is not to see Miya, but to meet the "signboard sisters," a quiet but innocent elder sister and a vivacious and good-natured younger sister.

They probably want to reunite with the sisters they met when they were escorting a peddler to the capital of the racial kingdom.

Mya shows the letter to Kuone and asks him a question.

Quone, was there ever a store in the Principality of Six with 'the signboard sisters, a quiet but neat elder sister and a vivacious, good-natured younger sister?'

...... I don't recall that one for a minute. There are stores famous for beautiful sisters, but they didn't have black hair. Is your brother mistaken?"

I know. ...... above all, why would my brother come all the way to the Principality of Six to see those sisters?"

It's ......."

Quone is at a loss for words.

Mya also has an idea, but she can't quite picture the scene of her brother going all the way to the Principality to reunite with the woman he knows he has a crush on.

............

"............"

There was a slightly awkward atmosphere between Mya and Quone.

Mya took the letter from Kuone for the time being and carefully folded it up, smiling delicately as she talked to him.

When her brother comes over here, I'll ask him for more details about the store we're looking for," she said. If we ask him for more details, we might be able to find out something.

I know," he said. He is the brother of the saint Miyah. I will help you as much as I can.

The two make subtle smiles at each other and proceed as if nothing is wrong.

The girls get up from their seats and leave the room to go to their classrooms, as the morning classes are about to start.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

After the morning's classroom lecture and after lunch, the two assist their professor, Domas, with his experiments.

Miya and Quone move to the "Underground Magic Laboratory" to help prepare for the experiment.

The "Underground Magic Laboratory" is a laboratory of magic where rooms are built deep underground and are rigidly fortified with existing magic and current technology.

Most offensive magic cannot damage the walls.

However, since the Six Principality Academy of Magic is located near a high-class residential area, when conducting experiments with high-powered offensive magic, the students are required to go outside of the city.

Miya, Quone, and Domus, the professor, are all at the "Underground Magic Experimental Hall.

In front of them were human-shaped targets made with earth magic, one bare and one with a thin copper metal plate bent into a "ku" shape and a tube attached to it.

Domas speaks to Mya and Kuone in a voice that sounds like he is conducting a morning class.

Mya, Quone, do you remember the lesson I gave you about the conditions for strengthening and weakening offensive magic?

Yes, of course.

So am I.

Domas nodded in satisfaction at their cheerful replies.

He continues his story in a good mood.

In this lesson, I explained that the most common way to enhance offensive magic is to use magic items. I also explained that there are ways to increase the power of offensive magic without using magic items. Typical ones are sprinkling oil and using fire-based attack magic, for example."

Domas smiled wryly at the student Mya and Quone, who listened intently.

"...... but recently I discovered a new substance that 'increases the power of offensive magic without using magic items or existing methods'!"

A new substance that increases the power of offensive magic: ....... Interesting."

Quone also put on a researcher's expression and sounded interested.

I'm going to check its power and record it today, and I'm counting on both of you to help me.

Yes, sir, I understand!"

Mya responded with a writing utensil in her hand, full of motivation.

Domas nodded in satisfaction and immediately introduced his discovery of "a new substance that increases the power of attack magic without using magic items.

'As for the structure, it's just thin copper bent into a mountain shape and placed in a tube. It has no magical power whatsoever. But--Fire Arrow!"

Domus discards the chanting and hurls the Fire Arrow at the humanoid, which is not equipped with tools to increase the power of offensive magic.

The color of the flame is blue because it is not a normal fire arrow, but rather a fire arrow with some magical power.

However, the human-shaped target made by earth magic was made very strong, so even if it was hit by the fire arrow, only a part of the surface was scorched.

Domas turns to his next tool.

Fire Arrow!

The chanting is discarded and the target is hit with a tool.

The blue-colored fire arrow hit the ultra-thin metal plate through the tube. The tool cannot withstand the impact and falls to the floor.

Unlike earlier, the humanoid was not only scorched on the surface, but deeply gouged.

Domus looks back to Mya and Quone with satisfaction.

'How's that!　With a normal fire arrow, you can only scorch the surface of the target, but with a tool, you can gouge it out like this!　A metal that is inherently suited for defense is bent into a mountain shape and given offensive magic through a tube, which, in turn, increases its power!　Isn't that interesting!"

For Domas, a teacher and researcher of offensive magic at the Six Principality Magic Academy, this phenomenon was very interesting.

At best, his eyes sparkled like a boy's, and at worst, as a researcher, they glittered with the excitement and curiosity of discovering an unknown and interesting phenomenon.

He quickly took out a new tube and pointed it at his body.

He took out a new tube and pointed it at his own body, "I want to experience it on my own body first to study why such a non-magical tool can be so powerful. Mya, Quone, would either of you please launch the fire arrow as I did? The other one of you, please keep a detailed record of my body and the condition it is in after receiving it."

Mya was taken aback by Domas' statement that he would not hesitate to use his own body for human experimentation.

Quone, sensing that Mya is taken aback, smiles and stops Domas.

Domus, I understand your feelings, but I think it's a little too hasty to suddenly try it out yourself. I advise you to experiment first by catching a monster or something.

I see. ...... Surely the first step is always to experiment with monsters. I guess I got a little overexcited and rushed. Thank you for pointing that out, Mr. Cuone.

No, no, this is no big deal.

As expected, Domas also listened to Quorn's admonition that he had skipped too much of the experimental process.　

Mya let out a sigh of relief that she did not hurt her mentor.

'Well, let's get this over with and get out of here - but first, there's been quite a commotion. Is something wrong?"

Yes, sir. Is that the guard?"

Before I start cleaning up the "Underground Magic Experiment Station," I notice that it is strangely noisy outside.

At this time of the day, Domus has permission to use the "Underground Magic Experimental Hall," so it is unlikely that anyone else will approach the experimental hall.

Even if they did, they would not have any trouble with the guards outside. ......

The door to the "Underground Magic Testing Center" blows inward.

Quickly, Mya readies her staff and steps in front of Quone and Domus.

The difference between an adventurer who has dived through the rough and tumble, someone who is not used to combat itself, and a mere researcher is probably the difference here.

"Ah, I found it, I found it," he said. There you are!

A young man of about 170 cm, "Nick, the hero of the Holy Sword," appears with a fluent voice.

Behind him, Korol the "Brave of the Holy Spear," Anren the "Brave of the Holy Seal," and Moza the "Brave of the Holy Armor" appeared, accompanied by guards from the Six Principality Academy of Magic.
