Chapter 55

Are you prepared?

Sheila nods at my question .

Then theres a magic I want to try .

I draw a magic formation on the floor .

A magic you want to try?

Rumours and legends are the source of a spirits power or more precisely rumours and legends form the spirits origin so even if you give them magic power directly their condition wont improve .

As a trial, I poured my power directly into Sheila but nothing happened . Its also not possible to physically go back in time and fix it either . Also, since their origins are fully formed even using Reincarnation <Silica> would have no effect since they would be just as weak after being reborn .

However, a spirits magic is incredibly flexible .

Did you give some of your power to Rays mother? Misa asks .

Yeah but its impossible with normal magic . Id hoped being half-demon would have helped but there was no change .

Then what magic do you want to try . ?

Rumours and legends form her origin . Rumours and legends also form your origin . Ill join your two origins and transfer some of your power to Sheila but since your origins are different Ill alter your power during the transfer to Sheila so it matches her origin . Hopefully, shell recover to some extent .

They are both half-spirit half-demon . The possibility isnt zero .

. Was there a magic like that for half-spirit half-demons . . ?

Mazoku dont have the ability to change their origins so to Misa its strange that such a magic exists .

There wasnt until a few minutes ago .

Misas face took on a strange expression .

I just made it .

. mad . made it . . ? Now!?

Misa looks astonished .

Aah .

After my casual answer, Misa sounded like she couldnt believe it .

. Developing a new magic usually takes years or even decades if you arent very good at it . Arnos-sama is really amazing . .

Making it is easy . The problem is its my first time using it . If I dont manage the different rumours and legends correctly the power will adversely affect Sheila .

In the worst-case scenario shell die .

Its worth trying though if they are prepared for it .

It will also be dangerous for your body Misa . Theres a chance the spirit side will consume your origin along with your magic .

Misa is very lively and Ive seen her use spirit magic Rain Spirit Mist <Fuska> a few times now with no ill effects so she should be fine .

Your rumours and legends will revive Sheilas spirit side power thats been consumed . In other words Misa, Im gambling on the strength and resilience of your rumours and legends to restore your power after draining it and giving it to Sheila .

If my gamble fails Misa wont be able to recover her exhausted origin and will end up like Sheila . If I really mess up I could kill her .

. I cant let you do that

Sheila says, however, Misa looks determined .

Ill do it .

But . .

I want to do it . Ray-san isnt a person who actually cares whats going on between the unification faction and the royals . Also, I want to frustrate the royals plans .

Misa says whilst laughing .

Itll be fine . The worst-case scenario will never happen with Arnos-sama .

I cant say my first failure wont be today so dont relax .

I activate the magic formation and send my power into it .

For the time being Ill call this magic Origin Conversion <Lilia> . Are you both ready?

Yes . Please do it .

I activate <Lilia> and connect Misas origin to Sheilas with a magic line .

Use spirit magic .

Understood .

Misa activates<Fuska> so its probably raining outside again now .

Gradually Misas origin starts to show signs of exhaustion but if I use my demon eyes I can see that power is flowing into it trying to restore it .

The power flows from Misa to Sheila via the magic line .

. Ku . ah . .

Misa leaks a pained sigh .

Fumu . As expected, the wavelengths from your rumours and legends dont match .

Different forces are mixing into Sheilas origin and making her worse .

. . Wha . what should I do . . ?

Dont be impatient . Concentrate on your magic or you cant save her .

While watching Sheilas symptoms I start altering <Lilias> magic formula bit by bit .

It starts to convert the power produced by the rumours and legends into Sheilas wavelength .

Since I have virtually no knowledge about spirits my only choice is to go by the round robin method .

I focused my demon eyes into abyss so as not to miss even the tiniest of variations .

One minute passes .

The body of Sheila is even more thinner and transparent than when we started . She cant speak anymore .

Three more minutes pass .

Sheila is about to disappear .

. God .

Misa joins her hands and starts praying .

If you are going to pray then pray to me . Those fellows have never given the miracles that people wanted .

At that time the transparency of Sheilas body that was getting worse had stopped .

Fumu . Somewhere around here? Ive finally found it .

I zero in on that wavelength and start fine-tuning it .

Ah .

Misas voice leaks out .

Ever so slightly Sheilas body begins to regain colour .

. As expected . When you came you didnt even know what the illness was let alone how to cure it .

Misas spilt words like she couldnt believe what was happening in front of her eyes .

Dont relax . If you arent careful it will be over in an instant .

I very carefully rearrange the formula of <Lilia> .

Bit by bit the body of Sheila gradually recovers, however, Misa had a pained expression .

Her origin continues to be depleted of spirit magic .

Are you okay?

. . Yes . Dont worry about meI can still go on . .

Misa smiles .

I can clearly see shes overdoing it but we cannot guarantee the stabilisation of Sheila if we stop now .

A number of minutes pass and it finally feels like its starting to settle down .

Its still a bit of a tightrope walk but its only a matter of time now . I honestly dont know what would happen if I mess up the magic even a little bit here .

At that moment I noticed something and turned my consciousness to another place .

. . Whats wrong?

My mother is being followed .

Eh . ?

It seems like its on the road back to my home . This part of the route home is still busy with people but just after this, it will go much quieter .

It would be fine if she was only being followed but this seems different .

The magical power of the mazoku following my mother is strangely excited . Its most likely motivation .

Whats their aim? My sword or my mother?

If they are intending to take my mother hostage their hostility is very low .

Lets go help .

Of course but lets wait a few minutes . I need to keep my eyes on Sheila .

There are a number of fan union girls near my mother but the magical power of the mazoku following them is much stronger .

Even though theres a number of them they wont even be classed as opponents .

Im familiar with the wavelength of this proud but disturbed magical power .

Yeah, theres no doubt . .

Emilia .

Eh?

Yare yare . What are you doing?

Using my distance sight I stare at the place where my mother is .
