Rem left the slave shop tent together with Alicia.
Outside, there was a bench prepared, and the security soldier offered to them saying 「There are sometimes people who start to feel unwell and they are welcome to use it. Especially the women. Please go ahead and have a rest.」.
Although the hustle and bustle of the marketplace could be heard, since they were a bit separated from it, it wasn’t all that noisy.
Taking up his kind offer, she borrowed the bench.
Alicia was beside her.
──She seems like a good person, but I don’t know what I should talk about with her.
Rem had tried to not concern herself with other people too much until now.
Because of that, whenever she was together with people she didn’t really know, she didn’t know what she should do.
As she was being troubled──
Alicia expressed a gentle smile and talked to her.
「I wonder what undoing 《Slavery Magic》 is like, don’t you?」
Rem answered after thinking about it.
「……I think that it is probably something similar to Summon Magic.」
「By throwing a crystal?」
「Ah……I don’t mean at the time of using it……I meant the ceremony magic when making a contract with a Summoned Beast.」
Both the magic that subdues the Summoned Beast at the beginning and the magic that calls out that Summoned Beast through a crystal when it’s needed are Summon Magic. Inserting an explanation about that part, Rem continued the conversation.
「……It gets invoked by preparing the place and situation and establishing the roles……That is what I understand the ceremony magic to be. By casting the spell at the place called Starfall Tower, preparing the situation where it is full of magical power, and establishing your role as the Summoner, a Summoned Beast is called out.」
Though, currently, what appeared wasn’t a Summoned Beast.
Alicia nodded.
「I see. As expected of Rem-sama, I can only greatly admire your excellent discernment in regards to magic.」
「……Alicia-san, it’s not like you don’t have knowledge about magic, right?」
「No. While I do have a certain amount of self-confidence in 《Martial Arts》, in regards to knowledge about magic, I don’t even reach the feet of people that are experts with it. The truth is, I couldn’t even guess at the what the flow of magical power that Medios-sama talked about a little while ago was.」
「……In regards to that, I also didn’t understand it……Though, it’s not like I can’t make any inferences about it.」
Rem wasn’t able to see the flow of magical power.
It was possible that she was lacking the talent for it, but she hadn’t done any training for it to begin with.
Medios said that it was the result of very rigorous training.
──Although it looked like Shera didn’t have anything like training for it.
When Rem thought that Shera was an idiot, she would sometimes be surprisingly smart.
When Rem thought of Shera as an amatuer that didn’t even have a single Summoned Beast, she had the talent of being able to see the flow of magical power.
It seemed to be a case where someone that was connected to royalty would be born possessing a special divine protection.
Things like a ruled land getting an abundant harvest due to the divine protection of the God of Good Harvests, or waves calming down and allowing sailors to have a safe voyage due to the divine protection of the God of the Ocean. The things that exhibit such large-scale effects in the long term and were impossible with magic just by them living.
Could Shera’s talent also be a variety of that.
An existence that was given blessings.
It made her unconsciously think that she herself was the exact opposite.
Alicia made a worried looking face.
