《The Great Barrier Master》9.Chapter 3: Learning magic and flashback aren't really a good combination...(part 2)
Advertisement
So, previously, with the appearance of the angel and me, the royalty was in confusion.
Just as planned.
(...Huh? Why am I hearing your voice? And what plan?)
You see, it's really boring to just living in seclusion and defeated the evil like some hidden hero. So, i force myself (and the angel) into the royalty and make my appearance.
The reason for that flamboyant act of the Angel, however, is to make myself look like a typical heroine who's forced to become a hero.
Aside from wanting to do so, it's to make myself look sympathetic... and vulrenable.
That would be important if i want to do my others plan...
Well, enough about that.
After that, i tried to signal the king, looking as desperate as possible. But the king doesn't responded due to shock. That frozen look of him is truly golden.
...To clarify, I didn't do anything to his face. Nothing at all.
(Riiight...)
Luckily, the princess responded, and tried to calm her down.
"Huh? Our god have send us a hero! How can i, her most loyal servant, could calm down !?", said Miharu, gloriously.
(Uuu...)
"P-please, you have put us into a difficult situation..."
"Ah!?? I was giving you difficulty you saaaaaid ? Could it be that my presence is inconvenient for you, EHHH !?"
...Though i said you have to act like that, you look like a delinquent right there, Miharu.
(It's not of your business... On second thought, It IS your business, and your fault !)
"N-no, madam! It's just that we never heard anything about a hero's coming before, so we're very confused..." (King)
Ho? The king revived.
"Hehhhh? So you said i, Mihr , was lying to you !?"
"!!! L-Lady Mihr ! Why are you... I mean, of course not!"
"Or could it be..."
Oh? Here come the clincher.
"You doubt her existence at a hero?"
"Ah... well..."
"Then, why don't you bring it to the table already? Or do you still want to disrespect me !!!"
"Y-yes, we will do it, Lady Mihr ! Oi you, Royal Magician. Bring it out !"
"Y-Yes, your Majesty!"
(..I-I am so sorry...)
Following his order, the plain magician then run out into the inner place of the castle. So it really is her huh...
"Y-Your Majesty, i have bring it"
Few minute later, the plain girl came back, along with a certain object in her hand. It's look like a green slab with a rectangle impression in the middle. Hidden in it, however, i could see a formation of many magic-like circle and line that connect its.

It look surprisingly modern.
"U-Um, Miss Hero..."
"P-please, call me Maribel. I'm not really used to being called a hero."
I mean, i'm not even human .
(You sure don't.)
"T-Then please, Miss Maribel. Place your hand in the rectangle."
"O-Okay..."
After that, I felt as if the flow of mana is being transfer through my hand to the slab, as it began to glow a greenish color.
Good think I stored it at the forest earlier.
Yukari's fantasy lesson 1: Not all mana are the same, especially if it come from another world.
The method sometimes are alike though.
(What with that piece of useless knowledge!)
After awhile, feeling the magic probing onto yourself, a holographic screen appeared above the slab.
...Look like it's a success.

In fantasy, it's common sense for "Magic Item" to exist.
Because magic is anything that can't be simply understood. So for common people, it's point to anything that act "magically".
In this world, Magic Item is splited into 3 types: Mana, Science and Hybrid . The classification is generally based on what principles it work on. The slab I have before me is of the first type, made by engraving magic circle used to activate "Status's Analysis". Once it's activated by sucking your own mana, it could detect the status of the indivitual. This slab in particular is the higher version, capable to reveal one true status and even detected ones skill, compare to the one used regularly in the gate to cities across this continent. (according to Miharu)
Obviously, I have completely fooled its, and the entire castle's personnel, there by succeeded one more of my plans: To test whether i could disguise myself in this continent...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(So, what do you think?)
(What do you mean "what do you think"? You're just talk with me out of nowhere !)
Still on the way to the field, me and Miharu was having a conversation behind the princess back.

Through telepathy of course.
("Of course" my ass!!)
(Miharu, manner please!)
(Same thing to you! Don't you know it's rude to suddenly talk to people's mind for no reason !? That's call an invasion of privacy!)
(I don't think that's applied for our relationship though...)
(Grr...)
"Um, is there anything wrong?"
" "Nothing. Please don't mind us/N-Nothing, your Highness." " (Miharu/Yukari)
"O-Okay then, please continue following me..."
As the princess turn away, we continue to bickering to each other.
(You start it first! As if I would like to react with your every word...)
(I like it though, it's rare chance to insult a "heavenly being" after all...)
(Such spite !? Just how much do you hate the Heaven? )
(Well, moving on. It's not like i don't have a reason to talk to you.)
(Sigh... then what it is?)
( Isn't telling each other's plan is a thing to do to built trust between partner? You did just follow my plan without knowing why after all)
(I feel like it have an opposite effect... So, what's the other?)
(See? We're already know what each other think... It's obvious that i have been dragged into an adventure by you guy.)
(So? It's not like you would asked us for an apology.)
( Indeed, in fact... i would like to said thank you..)
(...Huh?)
(I mean, I'm a heroine in an transported story! You can't get that experience only wandering in your own neighborhood. )
(Transversing through mystic land of many wonders! Fighting and thriving against numerous hardship! Forging bonds between friends and partners ! And finally: finding love and romance! Obviously, you need to make it into a novel ! )
(Great, you want to write a novel... what does that have to do with that bunch of nonsense you speak of earlier?)
(That is a draft of what i'm going to write. But, i have no experience writing a novel... So, i need you to review it for me.)
(...Even though i don't like you?)
(Enemy make the best critic, and i'll ask from more people later on ... So again, what do you think? )
(...Obviously, you barely follow any craft of writing, and you add too much unnecessary thing... work on that. Also, it would do me a favor if you stop ...)
(Sorry, that last part is impossible.)
(...)
(Oh look, we have already arrived. Could we talk about it later then?)
(... Too think i'm actually doing this earlier... What'll happen to my life from now on...)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author note:... With that, i'm afraid i have completely lost my mind.
Also, sorry for giving out this late. But i'm afraid part 3's going to take a long time. I promise it will be out in a week though.
Also, please remember to give me a rating. Criticism is recommended. Advertisement Previous

What if Edward wasn't as perfect as he pretended to be? --"What do you know about the Vampire world" Victoria asked me, obviously curious "Well, that Red eyes mean they drink human blood and Gold eyes mean they drink animal blood..." I started"No no no, it's the other way around the Cullen's are not good, they drink human blood, most survive off animals in our world, the Volturi are not even in charge of the Vampire world aren't even that evil, a bit power hungry maybe but The Cullen's are just trying to turn you against the more powerful covens so that you wouldn't go to them if they injured you or something went wrong, Red eyes warn people that they are not human, Gold eyes can blend in better.
