“Returning to the conversation, that’s how it is. At the point in time where the Mazoku could use that power, the evil god’s existence was proved. That talk was a pain though.”
Yes, the talk about the Mazoku resulted in a discussion about the evil god. That said, it took a great amount of trouble to arrive at that. Anyhow…
“Then, Alshuna is an existence facing the evil god so, this world’s humans and demi-humans, from the root of that belief are enemies to the evil god. That’s why he tries to kill the living things that don’t match his feelings.”
“...”
Suimei was holding firm to that belief, and Lefille looked like she was scrutinizing the contents of that discussion, narrowing her eyes. In that face there was some kind of agitation. Choosing the right time, Suimei fired a single word.
“So? Is there another theory you can get from that story?”
“True. That does work in the story. That’s the first time I’ve heard that argument with the evil god and the Mazoku. Based on the current argument, if I rethink the things I said, the legends become plausible.”
“It was a pretty interesting argument right?”
“Yeah. Surprising. You’ve thought about it considerably. Amazing, Suimei-kun”
To the girl nodding sincerely, Suimei added in a supplement.
“Incidentally, that humans are able to fight with the Mazoku is because they have Alshuna’s divine blessing I think. Excluding Lefille, generally they carry the power of resistances for that purpose. The element hostile to the evil god obviously falls under that category, so sorcerer’s magic also has that effect.”
“...”
“Yes. That’s why at the time when I was fighting the Mazoku, with the exception of magic that don’t use the elements as an intermediary, physical attacks also were ineffective. Because humans have their faith deeply intertwined with their lives, that power dwells within them. On top of that, the magic of this world is strongly linked to Alshuna and the spirits, the elements also have that power in them, giving them a big effect against the Mazoku. Sorcerers, through that magic with that subtle power, are able to defeat Mazoku. However, on the other hand, there is nobody born in this world like me, who don’t have that relation to the element, are expected to have their power become weak.”
Therefore.
“By the way I’d like to ask, when we fought with the Mazoku earlier, did beginner mage’s magic have effect on the Mazoku?
After asking, Lefille thought for a bit, with knit brows she said in a far off voice.
“Well, the people who showed effectiveness and didn’t were scattered but…”
The sorcerers that were effective were, even if they weren’t using magic from long ago, they perceived a revelation, and they had a connection to the elements so they had effect. People who weren’t effective that was the first time they’d felt that revelation, so their connection to the element was weak and they couldn’t defeat the Mazoku. Is that not it?”
“Ahh, to go that far is…”
“Assuming that, is the story. Well, I think I’m probably right.”
There were few simple parts so it wasn’t definite, but he believed in it. Taking into account that Lefille was still piecing things together, generally this response is to be expected.
At any rate the answer came out. Because the Mazoku have the evil god’s blessing, basically they have resistances so only the magic here is effective.
However, if that power’s source was made to be established in the Mazoku’s current form, they are an existence of the underworld, so if you use that class, that magic will show effect.
That magic had effect after all for Suimei, his thoughts until now were because of what happened then.
“Suimei-kun”
“Hmm?”
“Just who are you?”
That casual inquiry came out was because of the talk until now right. Rather than doubting his true character, she was simply really wondering what it is. To her question, Suimei gave no response.
“Now then. Or maybe I should put it, isn’t it about time to find a place to rest?”
“Yeah.”
In the darkening forest, Lefille gazed at the deep blue sky while agreeing. Shrugging her shoulders dejectedly, something was amiss, or was it just imagination? With that girl, Suimei once again began to walk.
