“So, it really will be the Thirteen Steps, I think.”

“It’s quite likely. Besides, Makoku has always preferred bland magic. They care less about precision and control, and prefer scale.”

Many Ryukoku people thought of magic as something that caused great explosions or for the earth to crack open.

“Now, let’s go.”

 

She had the same eyes she did when she was a princess, as she invited Harui into a separate room.

Hope everyone is doing well! If you have time, I would really appreciate it if you could rate/review the series. Not really sure how people feel about it yet and would like to know your thoughts. It’s not getting that much readers. I suppose people are really just waiting for Tensei Kenja to come back.
