Chapter 281 What’s Your Name？
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Six days have passed since then. Since then, I have been using the time-frozen space created by Snow-san, primarily developing a magic tool with the help of Mei and Momoka. Mei, as a researcher, and Momoka, who can handle blue magic, helped confirm the effectiveness of the prototype.
Thanks to this timeless space, I achieved decent results in a short period—though “short period” refers to real time. Inside the space, time likely passed much slower, but since our bodies were also frozen, we didn’t feel hunger or sleepiness, making it hard to gauge the actual time spent. No one knows exactly how much time has passed in total.
Today, I came to check the results with Golarf-san’s daughter. The tool is still far from complete, but with Mei and Momoka’s help, I managed to suppress Momoka’s blue magic. Now, I need to see how much I can suppress the girl’s blue with this prototype.
Though Mei and Lewya accompanied me, only I, holding Crimson, can approach her now. I had them wait at the entrance of the Gioniium building, and I went alone to her. It’s good, but…
”Ah… um, hello.”
”?”.
I’m extremely embarrassed about where to look! Last time, I didn’t care because I was distracted, but this girl is completely naked. I can’t dress her because, due to her blue magic, any clothes would be consumed and disappear. Until I can control her blue, I cannot make this girl wear clothes.
It might be because she’s of mixed blood, or perhaps it’s because she’s lived off Azure without eating, but her physical development seems poor for an elf who has lived for 300 years. She looks like a teenage girl in her mid-teens, and though her body is slim, the feminine curves are clearly there, which makes it hard for a man not to notice. On top of that, the girl herself has no sense of shame, so she doesn’t try to cover her body. She touches me indiscriminately like a curious baby.
If she were a real baby, it would just be a cute sight, but in reality, I was doing my best to maintain my composure as I was being approached by a completely naked beautiful girl with no hesitation in physical contact. Because of that, the gazes flying toward me from the entrance feel oddly painful, but I push them away while attaching a choker-shaped magic tool around the girl’s neck, slowly retracting the Crimson that had suppressed her Azure, and observing the situation.
Inside this prototype choker-shaped magic tool, several plate-shaped Gioniium were embedded, and Crimson was infused into the Gioniium. The design is such that, when the girl tries to release Azure, Crimson infused in the plate-shaped Gioniium will suppress Azure before it can leave her body. But will it work…?
”…? ──, ────”
The girl touches the choker around her neck, and perhaps feeling discomfort from the sensation of it tightening, she tries to remove it by scratching at it with her nails. Just as she did, Azure spilled from her fingertips and swallowed the choker. All that remained was the Gioniium infused with Crimson, and the magic tool itself disappeared without a trace.
”I knew it wouldn’t work.”
It seemed that right after she tried to remove it, Azure had already started leaking, so it was barely suppressed. Though I was somewhat shocked by the result, I had also predicted this would happen. Compared to Momoka, this girl’s Azure is clearly much stronger, so I knew that merely being able to suppress Momoka’s Azure would not be enough to succeed.
Still, I did not expect that I wouldn’t be able to suppress it at all, but this isn’t over; I’ve prepared another one for this occasion.
”Next, this one.”
The next thing I took out was a magic tool, made entirely of Gioniium, including the main part. This is a very confident design in terms of “effect,” but it is quite heavy because I made everything from Gioniium.
”It’ll be a bit tougher than before, but just bear with it a little.”
This is also a prototype. Even if it succeeds, I do not plan to have her live with it as is. The goal is only to test the effect. If successful, I will develop a more comfortable version based on this.
”──, ──!!”
Stronger rejection than before. She desperately tries to remove the magic tool from her neck, but Azure does not come out. The Gioniium-made magic tool seemed to succeed, but Crimson gradually left the magic tool. Instead, blue started to spread from inside, and her whole body burst out with blue.
”Huh!”
Fearing the worst, I quickly covered the girl’s entire body with Crimson to suppress the blue and remove the magic tool. Mei, who has been watching from the entrance, speaks to me.
”Using a direct method to suppress blue tends to wear out Crimson quickly. If we want long-term suppression, we need something in between to reduce the fatigue.”
”Yeah, but we’ve gained something. We managed to suppress her blue even for a short time. If we keep this up, maybe we can finish it this year.”
”This year? That’s in real time, right? Gee, I wonder how many years will pass inside.”
”Sorry for making you wait so long, Mei, but I think you’re somewhat enjoying this too, right?”
”Yes, I feel sorry for Neil, who is taking this seriously, but I find it very challenging and fun. Developing something like this involves struggles, but the sense of achievement once finished is huge.”
”It’s okay. This is my selfishness. Better than having to go along unwillingly. We’ve got a clearer idea of the final shape. Please stay with me a little longer.”
”Hmm, judging from that, even if it’s not finished, it seems like you’ve achieved some results?”
Just then, Golarf-san appeared with a more cheerful smile than usual.
”Hey, I came to check on things.”
”Oh, Golarf-san. Sorry for the intrusion. How was your trip?”
”It was good. I finally got to visit my old village and see everyone. I hadn’t been back since coming here.”
”I see.”
I didn’t ask how it went. Looking at Golarf-san’s face, I knew the answer would be exactly what I imagined.
”Neil-kun, I heard a bit about your power from the Divine Spirit Tree.”
”Eh?”
The Divine Spirit Tree mentioned my Crimson?
”With your power, you could completely suppress and even kill ‘it.’”
