I asked about the moment that the magic clashed
Just as he was about to activate the magic at the fenrirs…the giant wall of ice appeared, and then Leo landed in front of him.
According to Leo, she merely created an explosive magic wind to combat the flames, and directed it towards a place where there were no people.
As for Mr. Euto’s magic, he was not able to cancel it. If he tried to do it after gathering all of the energy and finishing the chant, then there would be an entirely different kind of danger.
It could cause the magic energy to go out of control, which would result in something that neither he or Leo could predict.
It was said that such a thing could have a larger area of effect than the original magic, and would have caused more damage, so that even Mr. Euto would not have been spared.
“So, it’s dangerous if you don’t unleash the magic once it is ready… By the way, does it apply to all magic?”
“You do not have to worry about that. If it is just ordinary spells that people can use, then the energy just disperses and disappears. It was only different this time because he used the Gift to gather a lot more energy. It was the equivalent of a lot of people coming together and using magic for a ceremony…that would also be dangerous to interrupt.”
“I see…”
According to Sebastian, it was fine, as long as you did not use the Gift.
As for me, I relied on using light magic a lot. And I wanted to learn new magic… But I would have hesitated if it was dangerous.
“Well, I understand that now. And it seems like Leo really saved us… But still…why are you even here?”
“Actually, I went to Range Village first, because I wanted to meet you, Mr. Takumi.”
“So you were already there…”
Did he have nothing better to do? He did say something about how he was leisurely traveling around the country…
“But you are all on your way to Range Village now? I am so glad that I did not miss you. Ah, that’s right. The house…mansion that you plan to live in. It was quite a surprise. But the village itself has also changed greatly. Just wait until you see it!”
“The village?”
“It has changed?”
Both Claire and I looked at him with curious expressions.
“Well, you’ll just have to see it for yourselves. But don’t worry, it is not in a bad way. You might say…that they took my advice.”
“Your advice?”
What could it be? He certainly thought we would be surprised by the changes…
Apparently, he had talked about it before, but I didn’t remember what he had said.
“Ah, you wanted to know why I am here. I got distracted… So, I was waiting in Range Village for a few days. But then I got bored…”
“Lord Euto is a very restless person… Hah…”
“Because I had nothing to do! You can stare at the sky or play with the dogs. That is it! Besides, I didn’t want to get in anyone’s way, since they were preparing the place for Mr. Takumi’s arrival… And so Lugretta was the only person I could talk to.”
“…And I suppose you were unsatisfied with me? I see… Well, perhaps I should be stricter on you so you will not be bored.”
“Oh, I get chills when you give me that icy look… Still, I am not strong enough to withstand stricter treatment…”
He looked at me for help.
But while Ms. Lugretta spoke sharply, Claire and I did not miss the sad look in her eyes.
He really should be more considerate of her feelings… Well, perhaps I was no one to talk after making Claire wait as long as I did.
“Eh-hem! So, you were bored…”
As we were getting side-tracked again, and since I didn’t know how to react, I coughed and quickly returned to the subject at hand.
