Shadow Ruler - Chapter 4.2

Then I finally arrived at Alice-san’s place.

– and I was going to ask him to put me down at that moment, but I’m not tall enough, so I’m going to continue holding him.

“Now, Freesia-san, I would like you to touch this transparent ball and let the magic flow through it… Carna-san, Freesia-san doesn’t know how to manipulate magic power, etc…”

“I hadn’t taught her yet. My body was like this, so I wanted to go carefully.”

“I see. Then, could you please come with me? It might take a while.”

So I came to a private room in the back.

I was told that it would take some time, so I came to a private room in the back of the house.

Dan-san and Zell-san were going to sell the items of the demons they had defeated.

But Carna kicked out Anne-san and Lily-san.

But Carna kicked out Anne-san and Lily-san because she did not want to expose my personal information to that level of scrutiny. The reason is that they don’t want to expose so much of my personal information.

She said that there is so much information on the Guild Card that she would never show it to anyone, no matter how close they are to me.

So he agreed, and I was finally released from his arms.

I walked to the private room with the help of a cane.

In the private room, there was a long, big, fluffy chair called a sofa.

–It was too big for me to sit on, so I asked Alice-san to carry me – but on her lap.

And he’s petting me.

“I’m sorry. It was too cute and I couldn’t resist//.”

I thought he was very polite and calm, but he likes cutey.

I’m pretty cute in the eyes of the world, he said.

But my hair is a mess, and my clothes and appearance are in shreds, you know?

I thought, “I’m a good judge of character.

I don’t know, but I don’t care.

“Please be assured that all information published here will be kept secure and will not be shared with others.”

(?Nod Nod)

I don’t know, but I’ll leave it to you.

Later Carna told me not to nod even though I didn’t understand it well.

“Then, we will ask you to channel your magic power, do you know magic power?”

I don’t know.

I shake my head.

“Well, let me explain briefly, there is a thing called magic power flowing in your body apart from blood. By using magic power, you can use magic. Is that okay?”

Fire and water coming out of your hands is magic, and magic power is what you need to use it.

I understand anyway.

“And to use that magic power, you have to control it with your own power. I will now explain how to manipulate it, so please do your best.”

I nodded as he stroked me and told me.

“First, you will find the magic power in your body. Close your eyes and see something fluffy, fuzzy, or mysterious that exists inside you? That is the magic.”

For now, I’ll just close my eyes and look into my mind as you said and try to find it.

…I don’t understand.

“After all, you can’t find it right away, can you?”

“Of course you don’t. She’s a little girl, right?”

“I guess so – haha, kawaii//.”

“Freesia, don’t worry about it. I heard it took a couple of days to find the magic.”

“Yes, that’s right. From my sense, Freesia-san’s magic power is more than usual. I only mean that compared to people of his age, though.”

“Also, I guess you have a habit of blocking yourself out, so you keep the same magical power locked up inside.”

“You mean subconsciously, along with your emotions?”

“That’s our feeling.”

“It’s possible. There are many stories of emotions intensifying and increasing in power.”

“Then what are you going to do? What then? Freesia has to do something about this, right?

“Well, let’s look at the attributes first.”

What are you going to do?

“Freesia-san, is there anything that is normal for you that is not normal for the people around you? It doesn’t matter how trivial it is.”

I look back at what was said.

Nn～～～～

Ah,

What’s wrong with your feet?

“Under my feet… oh, yes, that’s what I thought.

“Mr. Carna, what have you found?”

“It’s Freesia’s shadow. He’s always been shadier than the rest of them.

“What? Excuse me for a moment.”

He is being held high in my lap.

Alice-san is looking down at her feet with her legs dangling.

“Oh, it’s true. Then it could be a dark magic, right?”

“You mean it has something to do with shadows?”

“Now I’m imagining. I–but…. Then, Freesia-san, I’m going to channel the magic directly into you now, and you can feel it?”

“It won’t hurt, don’t worry.”

(Nod Nod)

“Now, if you’ll excuse me for a moment…”

Alice-san put her hand directly inside my clothes.

I’m wearing a one-piece dress, so her hand slides in from around my knees and directly touches my stomach and chest area.

It was a little ticklish and mushy.

Then she kisses me on the cheek and puts her lips on my neck area below my ear.

Then something flowed into me from the area where Alice-san was directly touching me.

It was soft and warm, and the sensation of it flowing into my body was very musky.

Something fluffy and fuzzy.

“Freesia, that feeling is magical. The same must be flowing through you. It’s the image that makes that feeling stronger within you.”

After I was told that, I tried to resist the musing, closed my eyes, and wished strongly for that fluffy, mysterious cloud-like image to overflow from my mind.

Then, little by little, I felt something different from what I felt from Alice-san flooding from my heart.
