Will start making pages for this from next chapter!

Now a warning: MnDs chapter will be slower than KnM, because they take time to TL, not only because of more word count, but also because of that s.h.i.+tty writing style (okay not always), and also typos (this is always!).

THIS IS NOT AN EDITED CHAPTER! WILL GET THEM EDITED FROM NEXT CHAPTER!

Chapter 42 City of Flowers and Mysterious Voice Part 2

Night.

The inn prepared by the a.s.sociation wasnt a high-cla.s.s one, but still it was quite a comfortable place. It was wide and good place for relaxing.

Above all, the Flower Dish given in the inn, were all tasty.

So we satiated ourselves by eating it, along with the stuff we had ate while walking.

Incidentally, we werent able to eat together with Zari and Sherry-san. Did they eat outside?

Like that after having fun once, the adventurers got into the mood ofLets have another partyand left the inn, this time Elk and I didnt go with them and returned to our room.

Even so how could you eat that much stuff when you were eating just before entering the inn? This is just too much even with stomach enhancement

While relaxing in the room, Elk came asking that thing to me.

I have already told to Elk that if I wanted then I could digest no matter how much I eat in an instant although I havent told her about the details ofElemental Blood. But apparently it seems like she is quite bothered by it, hence the great reproachful gaze.

Well it cant be helped after all I alone ordered food that a big group would order for their parties.

Even so it was truly tasty. That Flower Dishes of unknown taste. It could be cla.s.sified as something like salad, but that taste of a main-dish just entranced me.

Elk ignored my talk sayingHmmmmmand currentlyshe was readingNecronomiconI lent her, for killing time.

I also read it for killing time, recently Ive come to know that this book also have quite simple or basic stuff too although there are too many pages, so I dont always remember what page has what content written-, and so currently Elk who is also training in magic has also been reading it.

As a result, coupled with the amount of experience till now, recently Elk has been showing quite striking growth in the Magic Branch.

Using the magical energy efficiently, she used the wind magical energy that she excels at, and enhanced the sharpness of dagger and also her agile movements. Furthermore she is slowly reaching the point of using wind blades rather than throwing knives for long-distance attacks.

This growth pace is quite a thing.

At this pacethe day I entrust her with some out of my numerous powerful Original Magic, is most probably, not that far in future.

Of course, though I say entrust her with them, I will surely choose the type I want toIve got no intention of teaching her magic likeElemental Bloodor others.

Setting aside the trust and so forth thingsits just because they are dangerous.

After all they are, for a certain reason, troublesome and also have high degree of difficulty. Even the person who created them, me, had been training with that since when I was five, and started getting it into shape only after reaching ten years old. After that increasing the time for practice, it still took me over ten years to reach the point I am at right now.

Mom also showed interest in that, and started training along the way, butbecause the magic theory and concept were completely different, even that mom of mine had a hard time.

And mom and me used to do severe training from the start, so it was quite a high-pace training tooeven so it took10 years.

Well of course I also researched the magic and improved many of them, so it took time. Now that I have completed the theories completely and are all in my brainit might be possible to teach it to others in short time.

Even so, taking all that in consideration, the current Elk is just doesnt have sufficient ability.

Therefore I am perfectly fine to teach her immediately if based on trusthowever, it will be just bad for her to learn that unless her control on magical energy increases.

Hearing all thatElk sighed heavily.

Well I did knew itthat good things dont show themselves easily to you. If I could use them, then maybe I couldve known the source of thatvoice

Aaah, I see.

That strangevoiceshe heard (apparently) in daytime. Elk is still saying that it couldnt be anything like illusion. Her physical condition is not bad enough, neither she lacked sleep enough to actually hear auditory hallucination.

Except the days when even I have lack of sleep together with her.

She said that it didnt had any sort of unclear feeling to it. That the feelings in voice were clearly transmitted.

It was so clear thatit seemed like sometimes talking directly in her head.

No, wait a minute. Hearing directly in headdoesnt that make it more of a illusionno, no, no wait a minute.

(Dont tell me that directly hearing in the head means?)

I suddenly remembered that phrase, took theNercronomiconfrom Elk, and started flipping the pages hurriedly.

Err, if Im right, I read something like that yesterdayFound it!

Isnt it this?Telepathy

Telepathy?

On the page opened wasthe thing that was famous even in my previous world, however not as magic but as psychic ability, the so-calledTelepathy.

Literally, this is a way to talk with a person far from you without using voice, but thoughts as intermediary. Although it needs talent for using but it is quite popular magic out there.

Among the magicians present in the military, there are many of them who have learned this for communication purposes.

Reading the theory behind itit is quite obvious I cant use it. d.a.m.n it.

Setting my rant aside, this magic is exactly likevoice reaching directly in the head..and also the source of voice cant be found out, hence it matches Elks testimony.

But, in that case why did thatTelepathyreached Elk? Or rather from whom?

In this city, Elks acquaintances are only me and Zari. In fact, she doesnt have any acquaintance who can use such a technique.

In that case what is the meaning of Elk, who is not even that persons friend, getting that persons telepathic message, when I think that, the answer would be

That theTelepathymessage was sent in confusion and indiscriminatelyis it a rescue signal?

If Im right, you heard things likenot like thisand so on, right?

Yeah thats rightyou want to go?

Just in case

No, I still doubt it, but for the time being we both completed the preparations and left the inn.

Theres no way it would be like that, thinking stuff like that we both come to the place where Elk heard thatvoicein the daytime.

Just, although we came here, we dont have clue, as of yet, of from where did thatTelepathymessage reached Elk

In the daytime too we werent able to discover the sourceat that time,

As if it waited for this chance, the message came.

It came!

Eh, What?

Voice, the voice! I can hear it! ErrIs it, elp..probably it meanshelpI think!

You serious! Just how good this timing can be!

And that contents of message, truly seem like rescue signal

However both me and Alva still cant hear it, even now. Just why? If it is a rescue signal, then it would be heard by everyone in a fixed range for increasing the chances of rescue, isnt that natural? Then why just Elk?

In fact from the appearance of the personhearingthat, Elkit can be guessed that the owner ofvoiceis at it wits end of course it might just Elk exaggerating- but it cant be helped if I cant hear it. If it is like this then it would end up the same way as in daytime.

As long it isTelepathyit is sure to be magicin that case I just need to trace the origin of magical energy, however, regretfully I cant use that sort of convenient magic.

Thereupon, Elk abruptly,

Plaza!

Eh?

Shouted. What happened?

Behind the big tree in the plaza located on the outskirts of the city! It was in broken pieces, but probably it said this. Mianto, lets go!

Ah, I see. So she heard about the place withTelepathy, right. Now this is great. Why was she not able to hear this much in morning? Anyhowwe now know the place.

As usual, I entrust Elk to guide me while holding a map in her hands. Like that we rushed up to thePlaza on the outskirts of city

Along the way, again thatvoicestoppedthe person might be nearing the physical limit, so we hurried up.

However after reaching till here, it was the work of mine and Alvas ears.

Before even reaching the plazaI heard painful groaning voice likeUghwith my enhanced ears. Aiming for the source of that voice we rushed across the plaza.

There a big treed was indeed growing

And behind it

((Child?))

A girl of about elementary school with bright green hairwas crouching.
