Chapter 206.2. Captain Gotou’s Story
“Is it a unique magic? A magic that destroys the opponent upon touch?”
“If that’s the case, they’re a dangerous opponent, huh?”
“Yeah, it’s scary magic. Maybe it’s defensive magic!”
Yamiyo and Tamamo ponder over the content and react with thoughtful expressions.
MiI-chan also joins them, furrowing her brows in response.
However, deep down, Mii-chan clicks her tongue. The phrase golden aura strikes a chord with her.
Seem like Sena is also familiar with it.
I see… Sena, you were careless.
You shouldn’t have shown a reaction.
“Due to my inexperience, I momentarily froze in surprise, and that’s when the enemy attacked… My magic barrier didn’t activate, and I got struck down.”
“The Substitute Charm didn’t activate?”
“Yes, by discussing it like this, I’ve concluded. The enemy likely used magic to interfere with our magic. That’s why the magic barriers didn’t activate, and the Substitute Charm didn’t activate either.”
Captain Gotou seems to have deduced the situation through his recollection.
I see. The magic didn’t activate…
They waited until the last moment to activate it, probably to avoid revealing the mechanism.
They carefully calculated the timing to deliver a decisive blow.
“What did they look like?”
Sena leans forward and asks.
“They seemed young… In their 20s, I suppose. However, their face was covered by a mask. So I couldn’t see it.”
“I see… In that case, they can’t be the wanted criminal.”
Sena’s face droops in disappointment, but her fleeting expression is not one of disappointment.
It’s a more serious expression.
She seems to have a clue. Mii-chan also has an inkling.
“Well, how about we retreat for now? It wouldn’t be good if we got attacked again while we’re still here, right?”
“That’s right. Let’s leave this place immediately. It seems like Sena-sama and the others have taken care of everything. It would be helpful if you could let us know on the way back.”
Kongou-neesan voices her concerns about being far away from the main road and the dangers of being in the dangerous forest.
Captain Gotou promptly instructs his subordinates to recover the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Despite having just recovered, he’s full of energy.
“Well, those bad guys will be caught soon, Se-chan.”
With a cheerful smile, Mii-chan pets Sena’s head, despite her serious expression.
“Y-yes, you’re right. I’ll also ask Father to confirm we apprehend the one responsible for this.”
Sena, who has regained her composure, smiles slightly.
Though she appears cheerful, her expression reveals a deeper concern.
It seems like she knows something about the opponent.
Mii-chan also has a clue.
“Mii-sama, I’m also disappointed that the bad person got away.”
“Tamamo will be next~. Give me some pats~.”
For some reason, Yamiyo and Tamamo stick their heads out, so Mii-chan chuckles and pets them.
Yamiyo’s glossy black hair feels pleasant to me, and Tamamo’s fluffy fox ears are comforting.
While flying back into the sky, Mii-chan revises her thoughts.
Sena didn’t learn about Frost Giants from the Royal Family’s information.
At the same time, she doesn’t seem to know because she’s a reincarnated individual.
And Captain Gotou seems to have a clue about the opponent he fought.
That person could use martial arts that don’t require one to activate magic, and [Perfect Resist Magic].
According to what I heard from Surtr, the blueprints of the Frost Giant were brought by a mercenary.
It’s likely the same person.
And the only one capable of using [Perfect Resist Magic] alongside a martial art and magic that doesn’t need activation was just one person, even in the game.
It’s the protagonist, Shin.
I knew this because of his use of extraordinary magic.
Of course, there is a possibility other people can use the same magic. However, if it is Shin, his age does not match.
He appears to be too old.
However, I knew this because he possesses the blueprints for Frost Giant, a magical weapon Surtr should have created in the future.
Could it be that Shin has traveled from the future?
Any reincarnated individuals don’t know the blueprints’ contents.
Neither the novel nor the anime provides detailed designs of magical weapons, so it’s obvious.
Knowledge of such theories is only possible for people in this world.
However, Sena shows signs of knowing the other person.
Could she also be someone who came from the future?
There might indeed be a reason for Sena to loop through time.
After all, the Royal Family died without her, and Japan suffered many casualties in proportion to Shin’s activities.
If there was a way to loop through time, and she became disillusioned with Shin.
She might try to loop through time.
But there is something strange here.
Sena has the appearance appropriate for her age.
She hasn’t used illusions or transformations.
Only her mind has returned?
Then why is Shin older?
Isn’t that strange?
Was Shin special?
Are there currently two versions of Shin, the child, and the adult, coexisting?
Does the time paradox not matter?
And the meaning of the never-ending Night of Magic. The speculation that Grandpa Odin mentioned.
I don’t understand.
I still don’t have all the pieces.
Until then, all I can do is observe.
If there is someone who isn’t reincarnated individuals. But someone from the future. They should know things that aren’t in the novel, anime, or game.
“This is troublesome, isn’t it?”
With a wry smile, Miu’s eyes glimmered with excitement, contrasting her words.
Her gray hair fluttered as she soared through the sky.
