From the perspective of Elise, who has become Eric

"Sorry I'm late, Narsha! But it looks like I made it just in time," Akira apologizes.

Seriously though, I had woken up early, anticipating the hustle of getting ready for the wedding as a woman for the first time, and then Akira oversleeps!

A wedding invitation arrived the other day from Narsha, addressed to "Akira and his partner." It's natural for Akira, who has close ties with the village, to be invited, but why would his partner, me, also be invited?

"You bastard! What have you done to me?" the machine rages.

"Must be the shockwave magic. I copied it by ear," Akira responds, referring to our recent battle with Chopin.

Having been hit by it multiple times, he managed to learn it. It's not an overly complex melody, but it shows remarkable musical talent. I knew he had potential.

"Damn it! You're mocking me! I'll crush you!"

The mechanical figure begins to chant the Advanced Fire spell again.

"Everyone, run! The fire is coming again!"

At my signal, everyone scatters in different directions. An elderly couple with canes is left behind.

Dangerous.

"Damn! I haven't tried this spell since I got this body, but let's do it."

I begin to chant the Wide Range Fire Shield spell. It's an excellent spell that can protect a large area from flames, but its wide range makes it difficult to cast, and even if successful, the effect is somewhat weak.

To strengthen the barrier, I need to perfectly control the pitch, rhythm, and dynamics of my chant.

Breathing through this spell is challenging.

Can this body, which has failed to produce long tones, withstand it?

No, I've been diligently doing voice training and throat care since I became like this.

I have no choice but to believe in myself.

"Wide Range Fire Shield!"

The barrier works exceptionally well. What should have been scorching flames are no more than the warmth of a hot spring.

"It didn't work? Who are you people?"

"We're the world's strongest lovey-dovey couple, Akira and Elise," Akira declares, causing my head to explode.

Hey! That's way too embarrassing to say!

Especially after what Senior Barbara said to me, making me feel all the more embarrassed!

"Well, it's our turn now. I'm counting on you, Elise."

His commanding tone makes my heart skip a beat.

Inspiring!

He begins to chant a Basic Fire spell.

I start chanting an accompanying spell.

If this combination works, it could amplify the spell's power up to 3.5 times.
