“You have no talent for any elemental magic, no soul weapon, you didn’t get any perks from any race or even transgression. And to think that you won’t even get a blessing…however…something is not right…”
“It’s a little painful to hear that but thanks for telling me.”
“Just…don’t get on Fon’s nerve. I am getting tired of stopping you and that guy fighting all the time.”
“Not sure if I can do that. Tell him to stay away from me and there might be a lower chance of us clashing with each other.”
“Haaa…fine…”
It’s not that it won’t happen again…
Right now, only Violetta and I are occupying the strategy room. I was just here because I told Vische that I have nowhere to hang out with.
What Violetta and I are talking about is my assessment by the crystal ball thingy from earlier. I thought I don’t care if I don’t have anything special, well, it’s a little painful that I have none whatsoever.
“Well, don’t worry. You may have some latent powers or ability that may appear later or so. Nil, I want to ask just in case, you are…normal…right?”
Shit…
Can I really just say that I am just a second persona or a hidden consciousness of this body solely made for defense mechanism for him?
Can I explain everything with Psychological Theories in this kind of world setting?
I doubt…
I might as well avoid the question smoothly.
“That’s a weird question. Why would you ask something like that?”
“…I didn’t mean to offend you or anything. A few days ago, we talked about the basic of magic, races, blessings, and even soul weapons, right?”
“Yeah, you covered pretty much only the basics.”
“I’m sorry but, well, do you still remember the thing about…Arcana Magic?”
“Ah, it was something you didn’t want to talk about too much because it is too complicated.”
“Yes, Arcana Magic varies from person to person because of their disposition. In hindsight, none can predict what Arcana Magic a person may acquire. Also, the person who acquired such magic is bound to become immune to aging and their power grows exponentially depending on how much their desire are pushing them.”
“So…what of it?”
“I’m actually one. I have the Arcana Magic of Domination…”
“Oh? That’s interesting. What does it mean to have it? You get to conquer things?”
“Nil…the meaning of domination can be deeper and darker than that.”
“Hmm? Tell me…”
Violetta’s eyes fall downward as she sighs. She put the book she was reading aside and started sipping on the cup of coffee that was served earlier.
“Domination in literal meaning is conquering, mostly places. However, as the power grows, it can twist the very meaning itself to become wide and stronger while keeping the essence of the meaning.”
“I see…what you want to say is, domination could lead not only to conquering a place, but also people’s minds. If we are headed in that direction…it also means that…you can dominate facts and truths to bend them to your will.”
“Wow…you already had some ideas…however…I won’t go that far! Honestly, I just thought about that but…there would be some limitations too. Also, most of my powers are already sealed…’
“Makes me wonder why you still need to summon us when you and that asshat are already powerful.”
With keen and sharp eyes, I peer to Violetta’s true intention. It really doesn’t matter to me what reason do they have, what I wanted is why do they still haven’t made any decisive actions towards their own problems.
That’s what I call being lazy, however, depending on what she will say, I will spare them from such entitlement.

Violetta couldn’t do anything but stare at me with widened eyes. After a few seconds have passed, a smile made her lips curve upwards.
“I am glad…”
“Glad…glad for what?”
“I am glad that you didn’t get that much power…”
“That’s irresponsible for you to say. Why that made you glad?”
“Nil…right from the very start…I…felt something different with you. Like…something is utterly…broken, I don’t know. It’s hard to describe. That’s why, if you start out with too much power, controlling it would be way too hard for you.”
“That’s not a reason you can just justify. You are being too vague.”
“In other words…for all that I said…Nil…I feel like you have a potential to be one, to be an Arcana Magician. From what my intuition is telling me, you can be…no…I’m sorry.”
“Can be what?!”
“No, please forget about it. I might be wrong.”
“Did you hit your head or something? Talk about leaving me hanging here.”
“My bad…but…well at the very least, stop fighting with Ashfon, please.”
“Fine, I’ll forget about what you said earlier in one condition.”
“Condition? As long as I am capable of.”
“Let me grope your boobs.”
“…Come again?”
“Well, you see, it’s quite a shame that someone left it hanging there, Ahahaha!”
“Wait…!”
Before I could stand up from my chair, the door slams open that shocked both me and Violetta. From the doorway appears Vische with eyes focused on us. I momentarily stop thinking that I am like a culprit caught in the act.
“I heard what you are about to do Nil.”
“Vische…”
“That’s why…let me have at it too! Ahehehe!”
Vische started wriggling her fingers creepily towards Violetta whose face turned pale. She covered her breasts hastily with her arms but I say struggling is futile!
Violetta started squeezing herself on the chair she is sitting right now as Vische and I approaches her with wriggling creepy fingers.
“Wait! Why did you join Nil, Hero Vische?!”
“Why? It’s common sense, everybody loves big boobs!”
“That’s illogical!”
“Non non! People who claim that they don’t like boobs, even at some point of their lives are a hypocrite! Going by that logic, they must be an independent creature already as soon as they are born if they don’t crave some boobs! Right, Nil?”
I give Vische a thumb up!
She gets it! She gets what exactly it!
.
.
.
“Although I am a little jealous of the volume, I felt satisfaction. I kind of crave for it some more but any more than that…ahahaha…”
“We really did it huh? I kind of burned the sensation on my palms and fingers.”
Vische and I stare at Violetta who was gasping for breath in her seat. I didn’t think she’d actually let us have our way but, oh well. Her gasping and moaning were really noisy so we gagged her mouth with a cloth. Although I got to admit, it was really erotic.
It’s amazing how a woman's body could be so sensitive with just touching.
“Well, sorry Violly, we really overdid it.”
“Are you okay Violly? You’re still gasping, snap out of it.”
After I called Violetta Violly, Vische just kind of adapted and use it. Rather than saying that color name, Violly is much easier to pronounce and it’s cute. It’s kind of how she acts tough and stern at times but easily breaks like this.
BAM!
Violetta slams her hand on the table and slowly, her head rises and Vische and I are met with raging eyes that seems out for blood. Her cheek is twitching and I can see veins popping out. I can feel danger approaching.
This is bad!
“Y-you look fine Violly…!”
“R-Rubbing it out in private could actually help you calm down…okay?”
This is bad! Really bad!
Vische and I turn heels at the same time and as we face the door, we make a break for it. Immediately, spells and magic started flinging towards us with killing intent!
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING VIOLLY!? RUB ONE OUT!? ARE YOU A MORON?! I’LL SQUASH YOU BRATS LIKE PUMPKINS!”
As soon as Vische and I made a break for it, we did a sharp turn while running with the same pace as we run away from Violetta. We dash through the hallway and evade any incoming staffs and maids.
Girls are supposed to run like the girl they are but instead, Vische runs like a man with her hands flinging like crazy! Uwah, it looks horrible!
“What’s your problem?! I choose efficiency over appearance!”
“Well, that’s just like you!”
I kind of smiled despite our situation. In return, Vische showed a fearless smile as well.
As we reach another corner, we both lowered our gaits and dashes with a sharp turn at full speed. Ahead, we saw the king, Ashfon Astlan Lionheart, walking with his Councilor, Ishtal. He notices us running to his direction.
“Move move!”
“What are you guys…?!”
Before he could finish his words, Ashfon saw the raging Violetta making a turn from the corner with magic seething like a nuclear bomb.
“WHAT?!”
BAM!
Ishtal the old man got dragged as a magic exploded in front of him and flung him away somewhere. Ashfon, in fear and panic of Violetta, matches our running pace with a pale face.
“What the hell did you guys do to make her angry like that?!”
“We grope her boobs. It was delicious.”
“Bastards! I haven’t even touched them myself yet!”
“……”
“Uhh…”
Things got awkward as we run. Vische and I look at the king with blank eyes like he is some kind of a criminal or pervert.
Naturally, because he screamed that one, Violetta also heard him saying it.
“FONFON!”
“Oh shit!”
We managed to divide the hostility!
We pass another long hallway and this time, we are around the garden. I look at Vische but she just tilted her head.
Another turn came and we prepared our turn again but this time, as soon as maneuvers the turn, I grab Vische from her shoulder and waist and drags her with me.
We jump out from one of the large open windows.
“Ahhh--!” That’s not fair!”
“FONFON!”
I can finally ring another score against that guy. Violetta, in a blind rage, chases Ashfon alone now. It’s kind of hilarious.
Meanwhile, Vische and I are pressing to each other inside a huge bush. I find myself atop of her while she lay there down with dumbfounded face.
“Ah…they left.”
“Seems like it.”
“That was…rather fun…”
“Ahaha…sucks to be that king.”
I stare at Vische’s face. When she came to the strategy room earlier, she must have finished her status check. There’s no feature of her or anything that changed.
“I’m glad…that I am still a human.”
“Oh? Tell you what…I’m glad too.”
“The others are really jumpy as they receive new appearance or figures. They even boasted their abilities and such. For me, I had hoped that I was able to stay as a human. I am glad I did.”
“Why is that?”
“You and I met as human. I don’t want any of it to change.”
“Oh? I don’t think things will change whether you are a human or not. I can still laugh with you despite what you might turn out to be. Something freaky like alien or Cthulhu is also acceptable.”
“Shut up, I don’t want to end up with eight eyes or six hands or legs.”
“Won’t having six hands be a benefit? There’s more option for you when you rub yourself?”
“Ahahaha! Get off you oddball.”
“Ah, sorry sorry.”
And this day forward, Vische and I were able to further our friendship even as three months pass until we leave this place for our planned training towards the Dragon Capital Mujinn.
It is a place where trouble and mystery await us.
