Chapter 1612: A Reward for Lilia ⑤
While I was observing the event while reading a book inside my barrier, Alice and Lilia-san came by to take a break, seemingly having finished some of their verifications.
I brought out a table and chairs from inside my magic box so that they can take a break. Lilia-san’s face showed fatigue, looking tired from the verification while she was recovering her magic power.
[Thank you for the hard work, you two. Lilia-san, are you alright?]
[Yes, as expected, Space-Time Magic consumes a significant amount of magic power. However, as Alice-sama pointed out, this is my ability, and understanding oneself better than anyone else is essential, so having this verification is important.]
[That’s right. When one’s Heart Tool awakens, the wielder immediately understands its abilities and how to use it. However, that doesn’t mean they can just think they’ve understood everything about their Heart Tool. Just regarding the Heart Tool’s abilities and fundamental usage, there are many aspects that become clear through verification.]
.
Saying this, Alice smoothly wrote something on what seemed to be a booklet and handed it to me and Lilia-san. When I opened it, I could see the results of their earlier verification written inside, and after confirming that we were looking at our booklet, Alice began to explain.
[First, regarding Lilia-san’s ability, Hauteclere, its effect activates the moment Lilia-san assumes an attack stance until the attack is completed. This “completion” refers to the point where a strike is finished in some manner, and it ends even if the attack is intercepted along the way. Also, the enhancement doesn’t only apply to “offensive aspects”; it includes all abilities, including the wielder’s magic abilities and cognitive abilities. I think it really seems appropriate to recognize it as her body temporarily being under the effect of Critical Point of Fate.]
[Even so, things really become clearer when you actually verify them. By knowing the conditions in detail, it seems that the range of applications can also expand.]
[That’s right. Well then, let’s verify the patterns for special circumstances after the break. We have enough today, so let’s start with the bare minimum “1000 patterns” or so, and then we can handle the rest step by step.]
[……Bare minimum?]
[If we’re considering every possible scenario, we would have to verify billions of patterns. Of course, that would take a significant amount of time, and since we don’t have that, we’ll just go through that much.]
[…………………]
Lilia-san had a distant look in her eyes. Given that she had just emphasized the importance of verification herself, it would be hard for her to say she doesn’t wanna do it anymore cause it’s troublesome, and considering her personality, that’s probably gonna be impossible.
And so, it seems like she’s resigned herself to the idea of verifying all possible patterns. Well, as for whether she’s just unconsciously holding onto her stomach or if her stomach really hurts……
<Afterword>
Makina : [Hey, hey? By the way, did you also thoroughly verify my Factory Gear?]
? ? ? : [I did, but it really isn’t that strong. No, it is pretty strong at Human-level battles, but against Peak Count-ranks, Duke-ranks or beings on the level of the Six Kings, it’s better not to use it.]
Makina : [Should have known. Well, it would have been different if it’s a Special-type like Alice’s ?κατ?γχειρε? or something like the simple firepower enhancement of Iris’ ?ποκ?λυψι?, but in the first place, there are few Hear Tools that can be used in battles of that level.]
