Yes Yes, I understand that since Cliff is a genius, if you investigate it a bit more you'll understand it in more detail."
"I... I know that!"
Cliff turned bright red and regained his energy.
As expected of Elinalise. She's reliable.
But, since it's a considerably hectic time right now, I'd like you to do that after you return.
"Cliff-senpai. If you use the technique used in this doll, do you think you can solve the problem in Silent's magic circle?"
"I don't know. But, I think there's a possibility."
It doesn't seem he knows for certain huh.
However, I'm sure it'll become some kind of clue.
Until now, Nanahoshi has only ever drawn magic circles with a single plane.
If she were to layer them, I guess such upside down ways of thinking never came to her.
Or else she might not have tried it for some other kind of reason.
I'll be praying that this talk was a blind spot on Nanahoshi's end.
And then, it would be good if she'll regain her motivation.
Part 3[แก้ไข]
The next day, I took Nanahoshi out.
The destination was her research room.
The disorderly room was left in the same arrangement as yesterday's occasion.
It's a room with a mixed feeling still remaining, Zanoba and Cliff were on standby.
What the two were looking at was the research materials that Nanahoshi had investigated until now.
After Nanahoshi saw that she suddenly laughed with her nose.
"What's this!? With three men, do you intend to rape me or something?"
Rape you say.
Exactly how far in self-abandonment are you?
After just a single failure...
Well, all it takes to drive someone mad in their life is just a single large mistake.[3]
"What was that! I am a devout Milis adherent! You know!"
Cliff was enraged.
The Milis religion is similar to Christianity on the idea points of chastity.
In one's lifetime, they only love a single woman, and absolutely never resort to adultery.
It sure is abstinent.
"Ah, I see."
Nanahoshi walked with an unreliable stagger and sat on the chair.
And then leaned on it completely limp.
"Cliff-senpai, Zanoba, for the time being please start with the conversation from yesterday."
I showed Nanahoshi a number of ideas that these two thought up last night.
Nanahoshi listened to the explanation uninterested.
The magic circle revised by Cliff.
Layering the magic circles proposed in regards to Zanoba's research.
It was a three-dimensional magic circle, that I suggested the idea of.
While looking at those uninterested.
Without a single change in her expression.
She looked fixed on them.
Fixed.
There was a point her eyes were focused on.
It was no longer uninteresting.
It was just expressionless as she concentrated.
"Ah."
Suddenly, Nanahoshi raised her voice.
"It might work...?"
And whispered that as such.
From there Nanahoshi suddenly leaped and stood up from the chair.
"I see, I see I see, there was no necessity to be so fixated on a single plane. Well, that's right. I can write multiple papers and then stick them together. If I laminate layer them, I can draw a magic circle of any size. I wonder why I couldn't think up something this simple!"
She started pacing around the room three, four times without composure.
She took the pen and paper on top of the desk in her hand.
And then, started drawing a diagram with a clatter.
She was drawing something that looked like a calculation formula, then sloppily erased it and redrew it.
"Ah, it's different, not like this!"
"Hey, isn't it like this?"
Towards that Nanahoshi acting like a bear in the zoo, Cliff suddenly stuck his head in.
At some point he had been using the red ink pen he was holding to add notes to Nanahoshi's memo.
As expected of Cliff-senpai.
Naturally unable to read the suddenly different atmosphere.
"Ah, I see... you are clever."
"Of course, since I'm a genius after all."
"Then what about this? What would you be fine with doing? I've had some doubts about it since before though...?"
"Eh... wait just a second..."
Cliff and Nanahoshi with their shoulders side by side had started getting along together while scribbling on a single paper.
I took a peek at it but I couldn't see it as anything other than a child's scribbling.
"Zanoba, do you get it?"
"At that level, I don't understand it at all..."
We've been left out of the loop.
In any case, Cliff sure is amazing.
I don't think it should have been all that long since he started researching magic circles.
Well it's fine.
It seems like Nanahoshi has regained her energy after all.
...If it's like this, then even if it doesn't succeed, I'm sure she'll get some kind of foothold.
"Zanoba sorry about this, but please look after things here."
"Shisho where are you heading?"
"I'm going to call Elinalise-san. If she knows that her own man is getting along well with another woman I'm sure even that person will find it unpleasant after all."
While saying that I face away from him.
The time when I was leaving the research room, I could hear Nanahoshi's cheerful voice.
It might be the first time I've heard Nanahoshi make that kind of voice since we first met.
