Chapter 495 - Magic is Quite Deep

After Zwei-san, who suddenly appeared before us, shook my hand, she stared at me with glaring eyes. Shes scary, freaking scary Whats particularly frightening is that I cant read her emotions with my Sympathy Magic.

Of course, I know that my Sympathy Magic isnt completely unrivalled. It wont work against s.h.i.+ro-san and Eden-san, and someone like Alice could disguise her surface emotions as she sees fit.

As for Ein-san, Lillywood-san and Ozma-san, there are times I can read them and times where I cant There must have been some way that they could block my Sympathy Magic.

And Zwei-san, just like s.h.i.+ro-san and Eden-san, is completely unreadable. Moreover, unlike s.h.i.+ro-san and Eden-san, she was glaring at me as if she wanted to shoot my head off Shes incredibly intimidating and unsettling.

[..]

As I was thinking about this, Zwei-san took her gaze off me and walked towards Dr. Vier as if nothing had happened.

She looked displeased with our conversation, which really only consists of a self-introduction Thi might be the first time Ive met someone that had a cold reaction towards me in our first meeting since Shea-san.

Have I done something that made her dislike me? S- Speaking of which According to Dr. Vier and Neun-san, Zwei-san is very strict regarding ones appearance and etiquette, so it could be something related to that.

Its possible that shes frustrated because she cant scold me since Im not part of Kuros family

[Vier.]

[Y- Yes!]

[Be careful from now on so as not to harm Kuromu-samas dignity.]

[Yes! Eh?]

[Well then, Ill be going to where Kuromu-sama is so Ill excuse myself here. Miyama Kaito-san.]

[Eh? Ah, yes!]

After giving Dr. Vier a warning, Zwei-san sharply glared at me again.

[May we meet again. I would love to have a chance to talk with you at some point.]

[Yesh.]

With that look on your face as if youre going to avenge your parents, what the heck are you talking about!? T- Theres no way that youre talking about talking to me with your fists later, right A- Also, that long sermon that Dr. Vier and Neun-san were talking about What happened to that?

In front of the frightened me, Zwei-san bowed, before she started leaving with a regular stride.

As I dumbfoundedly watched her back, Dr. Vier muttered something with an expression of disbelief.

[Sister Zwei didnt sermon us?]

[I- I cant believe it either. If it was the usual Zwei-sama, she would have given us a three-hour sermon I cant believe she let you off with only a gentle warning]

[Thats what youre surprised about!?]

If thats gentle How scary could she usually be?

Then, I suddenly remembered that my Sympathy Magic hadnt worked on Zwei-san earlier, so I decided to ask Dr. Vier, who seemed to know a lot about magic.

[Speaking of which, Dr. Vier. I cant read Zwei-sans emotions at all with my Sympathy Magic]

[Unnn? Sympathy Magic?]

[Ahh, errr]

Come to think of it, I hadnt told Dr. Vier about my Sympathy Magic. So, after giving a thorough explanation, I asked my earlier question again.

Thereupon, Vier-san didnt seem to have particularly thought about it that much as she readily replied.

[Isnt that simply because Zwei-san hasnt leaked out her magic power out of her body?]

[U- Unnn?]

[Errr, to put it simply Miyama-kuns Sympathy Magic reads emotions from the faint traces of magic power emitted from others bodies. Thats why, you cant read the emotions of someone who has perfect control over their body and keeps it inside their body I could also do something like that, just like this See?]

[I- Indeed, I cant read Dr. Viers emotions anymore.]

I see, so thats why there are times when I could read Ein-san and Lillywood-sans emotions and times where I could not

[This is one of the most difficult magic control techniques, but I think there are only a few Demons who can do it In battle, its very effective to prevent your opponent from reading the flow of magic power.]

[I- I see]

[Well, using it is quite tiring, so not many people stay in such a state all the time. Shalltear-sama uses it when shes going incognito. Meanwhile, Isis-samas magic power is too powerful and it seems like she couldnt completely control it? Well, her magic power is more intimidating when shes releasing it For their dignity, it seems that Megiddo-sama and Magnawell-sama werent holding back their magic power.]

[Fumufumu.]

Speaking of which, I hadnt been aware of it before I dont think I could read any emotion from Alice when she was out of sight.

[Sister Zwei is very strict with herself and with the others, so I think shes constantly training herself by staying in that state all the time. Thats why Miyama-kun couldnt Sister Zweis emotions.]

[That makes sense. Thank you.]

Dear Mom, Dad Thinking about it again, I guess its only natural. If theres magic that can read emotions, then there should be a way to block such magic. Even so, there are many ways to use magic power, even in normal times huh- Magic really is quite deep.

Moving with a regular stride, Zwei arrived at the Central Tower and was greeted by Ein.

[Its been a while, Zwei. Kuromu-sama is currently in a meeting, so youll have to wait for a few moments]

[Yes, Ein. I have no problem with it. Im the one who came at an unexpected time after all. I have plenty of time to spare, so I will wait.]

After politely exchanging words, Ein and Zwei moved together into the Central Tower.

On their way, Zwei stared at Ein with her sharp eyes before she quietly muttered.

[I spoke with Kaito-sama just a moment ago.]

[Fumu.]

[And I believe we have a matter that needs to be addressed immediately.]

[What is it?]

[The portraits distributed to the members of Kaito-samas Fanclub I know it because Ive seen him in person Im asking you, why is it that those portraits dont even represent 1/100th of how wonderful Kaito-sama is? I think they need to be improved as soon as possible.]

Despite her nonchalant tone, Zweis voice was filled with strong pa.s.sion.

When Ein heard her

words, she quietly nodded and responded.

[I understand what youre saying, and I agree with you. But unfortunately, it is difficult to create a better portrait than that.]

[Kuhh I see So youre saying that a portrait cant express Kaito-samas n.o.bility huh?]

[Thats right.]

[Its a shame, but I guess well just have to settle with this. When I met him in person, I realized that his overflowing grace and beauty is something impossible to express even with modern art. The world has yet to catch up with Kaito-sama]

Zwei bit her lip, a look of deep regret on her face. If the person himself heard about what they were talking about, they would have received a whole lot of tsukkomis, but unfortunately, there is no one nearby who would do such a thing.

[Putting that aside, how was it? What are your thoughts after talking with Kaito-sama himself?]

[Lets see, to put it simply that person isnt he a bit too cool? He had eyes more beautiful than any jewel Ive ever known, s.h.i.+mmering hair, and and indomitable and dignified countenance He was so dazzling that it was difficult to take my eyes off him.]

[I understand what youre saying.]

Those were just her personal impressions. Incidentally, Zwei, who apparently cant take her eyes off Kaito, was just silently glaring at Kaito who was nearby.

[I couldnt stop my heart from beating too fast, and I was too nervous to speak properly Could it be Is this what falling in love feels like!?]

[That must definitely be the case.]

[I- I knew it I guess it was inevitable. There is no way that anyone can look at Kaito-sama, he who seems to have condensed the beauty of this world within himself, and not fall in love with him. Even I, a magic doll, cant get the image of Kaito-sama out of my mind.]

[Its a path that all of us will take, but I must remind you that you must not indulge yourself within that emotion too much. The both of us are Single-Digit members of Kaito-sama Adoration a.s.sociation. Be aware of this and act accordingly.]

[Ill keep that in mind. I will do my best so that I can also be chosen by Kaito-sama.]

[As expected of Zwei I guess I didnt have to bother warning you huh.]

[No, its my grat.i.tude to hear your warning.]

This might be repet.i.tive but no one is there to throw tsukkomis at them.

For Zwei, Kaito himself looks about 400 times cooler than his portraits.
