Chapter 198 – To the Cult of Light (3)
“So… Are you asking me to teach you how to flirt with other women?”
After being harassed by Iona. She asked Elisha for a consultation, and the answer came back on a day like this.
“No, how can you say that? You just asked how to resolve the misunderstanding between Priest Helena and me.”
“There is nothing wrong with that, is there? That everything is true.”
“It is, but…”
Asking for a nun’s uniform for cosplay yasu, secretly yasu on campus, or gaslighting slaves so they can’t escape.
It’s all really unreasonable, but… !
“But it’s a bit like that right now.”
“Well. I think now is just right.”
“… Anyone can see that it’s a human breed, isn’t it?”
“However, I am receiving more protection than anyone else. If you hadn’t had such a flaw, I would have been clinging to you and worshiping you by now.”
“Possiblity… There is!”
As befits a world where God exists, most priests are fanatics. And among the followers of the righteous light, only those with more taste gathered.
But suddenly, a person who looks like an apostle (preliminary) of the god he is serving appears in front of him?
I’m not really going to lie, if I put my mind to it, I can swallow the Righteous Church of Light right away.
If you accept the apostleship, you can even rise to the position of pope.
At least in the game it was.
“Anyway, it can’t go on like this.”
“Huh. Well, I can help. It’s not difficult, but first… You know?”
“Of course.”
Side.
He lightly kissed Elisha on the lips.
But why is Elisha’s expression so subtle?
“… Isn’t this?”
“You meant to tell me it was your turn to learn? I also have a lot to ask you, Yandel.”
“…”
She was an Elisha who never neglected her training, but after I became a lieutenant mage, she became even more enthusiastic.
In particular, they ask me a lot about the sensations and images when using middle level magic for the first time… How can I explain that the effect I got tired of seeing at H&A is clearly embedded in my brain.
In the end, I could only give an abstract answer, and because of that, it’s a daily routine for Elisha to call me and ask me questions whenever she has a chance.
“Hmmmm. I knew. I just did it because I wanted to try it.”
“Oh? If you are, count it like that.”
Elisha giggles while covering her mouth with a fan.
As she was scratching the back of her head in needless embarrassment, Elisha’s blue eyes softened.
“Therefore? Which one would you like to do first?”
“Um… Let’s start with shortening the chant in order.”
“I see.”
Elisha knocked on the side of the bed she was sitting on.
Karla and Iona are working on a Yandel breeding plan or something, and Iris is discussing the intersection of enchantment and alchemy with Fay.
Helena has been grooming her own mace, and her skill is as good as that of a veteran mercenary who has been on the battlefield for years.
This priest… ?
Anyway, so naturally, it was a situation where only me and Elisha were playing separately.
Elisha, whether she knew it or not, put the notebook in which she was jotting down something and smiled.
“I forgot to tell you anyway. Thank you.”
“What?”
“You were considerate of me and made time for me to be together, right? Although shortening the chant is my specialty, it’s not comparable to Master or Professor Iona.”
“Ugh. There is one misunderstanding.”
“To?”
She stretched out her hand to Elisha, who tilted her head in puzzlement.
The soft touch of the nape of her neck touching her fingertips. She continued, pressing lightly on the slave inscription in its center.
“I’m sure Iris and Iona will teach you much better. But isn’t that different from the way you pursue, Elisha?”
“Well what… Yes?”
Elisha affirms with a slightly stiff posture, perhaps because she was suppressed by the neck belt.
“Rather than reducing Karlaya’s chant, she would prefer to increase her power by increasing it.”
“Yes. Actually, most of what I learn from Carla is how to increase her firepower.”
“Master prefers to shorten the standard chanting. Like making the elemental shadow of the Elementus Core more deeply engraved, or clearly engraving an image through repeated use.”
“It’s standard by Elf standards.”
“Professor Iona… It’s possible because it’s a vampire. I gave up the power because I skipped the chant, but I amplify it again with blood magic.”
“I’ve said everything because the vampire race itself has to see its fighting power a notch higher.”
“But I…”
Elisha hesitantly bowed her head when it was her turn to say whether or not she was yet confident enough to say.
Elisha then lifted her fingers from her neck and raised her chin up.
She forcibly met her gaze, and she did what Elisha should have said.
“Elisha, you are pursuing a different path than anyone else. I’m pursuing the link between magic and magic to the limit. Shortening the chant is only an intermediate step.”
“You… How to… ?”
Elisha’s eyes widened.
In fact, it is natural. Because I already know Elisha’s perfect form.
All right It’s the title wizard of H&A, and of course I remember it well.
“Elemental magic is intuitive. It’s natural that it’s magic that handles the elements that make up the world. And this world is always circulating.”
Four Seasons. Day and night. Life soldier. The rise and fall of the country. Cycle of water.
Other than that, many things are constantly circulating.
Elisha thought that if elemental magic is magic that deals with the elements that make up the world, then she can also deal with the cycles of nature.
“Just as new life blooms from the ashes left after a fire burns, like the wind blowing through the thin branches that have grown like that, like the wind driving dark clouds and pouring rain.”
And as if all of this becomes one under the name of the world.
“There is no beginning and no end. A huge cycle that just exists. The most natural magic. That’s why it’s the most elf-like magic.”
Elisha, who was raised to the end, was a walking natural disaster.
It summons a storm with one breath, causes an earthquake with every step, and creates a pillar of fire just by looking at it.
A long time ago, when elves were still with the spirits.
How much I admired the appearance of gathering the four spirit kings, who were said to be the pinnacle of the time.
Even after the tower collapsed and the loss of his teacher, the great wizard continued to advance and grabbed the secret wish.
“If it is at the end of this road… I’m sure Elisha’s shortening of your chants will be a vision worth more than anyone else’s.”
Of course, without an Elementus Core, it would be impossible for me to fully master Elisha’s vision.
However, no matter what, it is the realization that leads to the archmage. Even if it is unfinished right now, it can never be ignored.
“So, this is not considerate or anything. It’s just eating in the right place at the right time.”
“…”
Her stunned Elisha put her arm around her shoulder and raised her smirk.
“As long as you are my slave, Elisha, your body, mind, and even your realization are mine? So don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and teach me what you’ve studied so far… What?”
Mouth closed while talking.
Soft texture and woody scent. And in an instant, I was able to grasp the situation by the soft touch that penetrated her mouth.
I was kissed by Elisha out of the blue. It’s also quite steamy.
For a moment, I was taken aback by the tongue that was playing freely, justice, and destiny in her mouth.
Just as she was about to catch her breath, Elisha dropped her head and gave her characteristic confident smile.
“Oh-ho-ho! Yandel, I can’t help it that you think so highly of me! So, let’s get started right away. Shall we first check what we taught you yesterday?”
“Uh, yes.”
She was taken aback by the sudden increase in tension, but anyway, Elisha seemed to be full of motivation, so she showed what she had learned so far.
After that, she experimented with this and that, and on the contrary, she talked for a while while being asked by Elisha to tell her how to use intermediate magic.

The training with Elisha ended only when the sunset slowly set and it was time to find a suitable place for the wagon to stop.
Could it be because I talked too much? Elisha, who quenched her thirst by sipping the Elven Tea I poured, let out a cute sigh.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot this. Did you say you wanted to clear up Priest Helena’s misunderstanding, Yandel?”
“Yes. Right?”
“And you said there was a dungeon that wasn’t difficult on the way.”
“Yes… Ji?”
When I opened her eyes wide at the thought, Elisha nodded her head with her graceful smile, as if my prediction had confirmed it.
“Then it is simple. You just have to show your cool side there.”
“… Will it really work?”
Even so, it’s a very simplistic idea.
However, Elisha affirmed in a confident voice.
“Oh? Isn’t that obvious? Priest Helena is a righteous priest of light, and you are the person closest to the sun.”
“Ah.”
It’s right… There is!
