Volume 9 Chapter 14 Yunea's Magic
"It's been a while, Yuusuke-sama."
"Thank you for inviting me this time."
As soon as we contacted each other, the two women came to our house.
Irial-san, a tall and beautiful woman with silver hair, was one of the guardians who fought against Tarim, the "Senai" in the past.
She usually acts in a different place. She has supported me quietly, such as when she helped me during the fight against Larkan and when she rescued Tsukiko during the "Tokyo Crisis".
And next to her is a young girl.
This time, she is the main character.
She is Irial-san's little sister, Yunea, the "key".
"It's been a while, both of you. Thank you for coming all the way here."
"No problem. I heard that Yuusuke-sama has something to ask Yunea for today."
"Yes. There's someone I want you to see."
Yunea nodded with a slightly tense and rigid expression.
I led the two of them into the living room. There, Lisha, Nest, and Bertina-san were present.
I asked the other members to return to their rooms. In particular, Kanami is with her sworn enemy, Tarim, so the conversation would become complicated.
Nest, who had just finished taking a bath, stared at her with an anxious expression.
Yunea leaned in to look at Bertina-san's face and touched her cheek.
"It's warm... but she seems to have expended a considerable amount of energy. What could have happened?"
"It seems to be a curse from a demon. Lisha used a recovery spell earlier, but it has been quite some time since Mevia cast her magic, so I think her stamina has greatly decreased."
"Mevia-sama... Could it be, the Saint, Mevia-sama?"
I nodded in recognition of Yunea's surprised voice. It seemed that Mevia was treated as a Saint after all.
"Yes, that's right. Speaking of Mevia-sama, she is one of the Four Heroes, so it's not surprising to see her with Yuusuke-sama."
"No, I wasn't with her... Well, we can talk about that later."
To be honest, I don't really know much about the footsteps Mevia has taken. I haven't had a chance to hear the details from Nest either.
Yunea regained her composure and said,
"I should heal this woman. I have knowledge of healing techniques, but I don't think I can achieve the same level of effectiveness as Mevia-sama."
"Oh, Lisha said the same thing."
"But my magic doesn't even come close to Lisha-sama's..."
Yunea said, her face on the verge of tears.
Well, that's understandable. As a spiritual woman, she sees Saint Lisha and Mevia as the very symbols she should aspire to.
She must be feeling an immense pressure being asked to use magic, disregarding her. It's like being asked to take over a project that a respected senior had been removed from, you know?
Well, I don't have much experience in society, so I can't fully understand.
Irial-san seems to be listening to the situation and has a serious expression.
But I have a certain conviction.
"No, I think your magic is the most suitable for this situation."
"Oh, that's not true. It would be presumptuous of me to compare myself to Mevia-sama, who has achieved great feats as one of the Four Heroes, or Lisha-sama, who has protected the main cathedral of the Holy Goddess Church since childhood."
Huh, is Lisha really like that?
I've never heard that before.
Speaking of the main cathedral of the Holy Goddess Church, it's the headquarters, right? Mevia didn't want to go near it, so I haven't been there much either. But I have been inside when I was called a hero.
Well, she must have been sheltered. The saint who is responsible for guarding the church wouldn't be allowed to go outside.
No, now is not the time to mention that.
"First of all, it's not a comparison. Lisha is Sanctuary, and Mevia is Tenken (Heaven's Sword). They have different characteristics in magic."
"Do you mean I have different characteristics?"
"Mevia seemed to have the conviction that you could heal with the magic of 'keys.' Maybe magic is related to the qualities of a saint. There is a good possibility."
"My potential in magic..."
Yunea placed her hand on her chest and looked down.
Surely, she must have put in a considerable amount of effort and time to learn the magic in the church. To the point where she didn't even have time to face herself.
I know.
What kind of magic she possesses.
I haven't forgotten that night when I lost myself, was defeated by Larkan, and was saved by her.
'Just one more thing, let me help you.'
At that time, with that voice, my consciousness reached the realm of images.
I easily reached a place that I could only reach in the midst of the battle with the Demon Lord.
That's probably Yunea's magic.
Unconventional magic that works directly on the soul rather than the body.
"My magic, works on the soul?"
"Yes, if my judgment is correct."
"I've never heard of such magic."
"Excuse me, but I have also served as a temple knight, but I have no knowledge of such magic."
Yunea and Irial shook their heads.
I haven't heard of such magic either.
But in the world of magicians, the impossible is possible.
"Even if you can't do it, that's just a matter of my expectations being wrong. Can't you at least try it?"
"But, someone like me..."
I failed. It seems my words added unnecessary pressure. I shouldn't have tried to teach something to this inexperienced person; it's difficult.
I've lived with only two choices: do it myself or get hit. I only know the Spartan way.
Not knowing what to say, Nest knelt in front of Yunea. And then he deeply bowed his head.
"I beg you. No matter how faint the hope is, if there's anything I can do, I'll do it. Please lend me your strength to help Bertina!"
"Please, lift your head!"
Yunea, looking flustered, pleaded for help and looked at me. Nest remained motionless, bowing his head.
He's clumsy too, huh?
"He is the guardian of that child. He managed to repel the demon alone, but it seems she was cursed in the process."
"He protected her alone, didn't he?"
"I couldn't protect her. Because of my lack of power, I have caused pain to her, to Bertina. I am unworthy of being a guardian."
Irial's eyebrows twitched at Nest's words, which were like spitting blood.
From her perspective, she who betrayed humanity to protect Yunea, there must be many thoughts going through her mind.
Seeing Nest like that, Yunea took a deep breath and lifted her head.
"I understand. I can't guarantee if I can do it, but I will give it my all."
"Really! Thank you! Thank you!!"
"I haven't decided yet if I can do it, so please don't bow your head!"
They are quite an interesting duo.
Thinking that, I looked to the side and saw Irial, the siscon, looking at Nest with a fierce expression.
As fellow guardians, get along well...
