The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 58

After finishing our discussion, we disbanded and each returned to our rooms.

Incidentally, Koma-chan went up to the third floor with the women.

It seemed that the pervy dog, the messenger of a god, had grown quite attached to Annie.

The next morning, when I woke up, Lily and the other two brought breakfast, and we all started eating together.

“Is sitting on the floor unusual? Is this how life was in Yuuma’s world?”

Lily asked while enjoying her vegetables.

“That’s how it was at my place.”

“Hmm… it was like that at my parents’ house too.”

“By the way, I’ve heard elves live in forests, but are they okay with all the monsters?”

This world has a lot of monsters, so even towns are surrounded by high walls.

“We build our houses in the trees, and elves are good at sensing magic. We’re generally strong, too.”

I see…

But having a house in the trees sounds scary.

It feels like a secret base, but you might fall if you’re half asleep.

“Hmm… by the way, where’s Annie?”

She should eat with us since it’s just us here.

“Annie is sleeping. She was up late playing with Koma-chan.”

Natalia answered.

“Isn’t that dog a bit too attached to Annie?”

That pervy dog kept pestering Annie to play even while we were talking yesterday.

“Well, Annie’s the one who spoils it the most.”

“…She’s always smiling and throwing bones for it.”

So it wasn’t that the dog was perverted, but that Annie liked dogs.

“That dog is cute. I still don’t quite understand what a shikigami is, though.”

It seemed that either Alice or Natalia had explained my technique to Lily.

“Don’t worry about it. The magic in this world and the one I was in before are just slightly different. I think the healing magic here is amazing since it didn’t exist in my previous world.”

I wonder how that works.

“Is that so? Its like how I felt, growing up in the forest, and then going to a town for the first time was like another world.”

“By the way, Lily, why did you leave the forest?”

Changing your living environment is a big deal.

“Because I’m a failure. My archery is fine, but my magic power is low, and I’m not good at climbing trees. So, I thought I could be more successful outside the forest. Humans have lower magic power, after all.”

…Actually, I think Alice’s magic power is higher.

“Um…”

“Don’t say it! I know! I remember that night I cried.”

She must have thought she was at the top but found there were many people above her.

“Well, the world is wide.”

“Yeah. I felt down when I saw Alice, then even more when I saw Annie. And finally, a monster appeared that couldn’t be measured by my standards.”

Monster?

Maybe a demon?

“Who?”

“Yuuma.”

Me…?

“What about Layla?”

“Layla-san? Is her magic power that high?”

Ah, so they don’t even know she’s hiding it…

Let’s not say anything.

“I see…”

“Huh? Huh? What do you mean? She’s amazing.”

“Lily-san, Layla-san is hiding it, but she’s a mage on par with the Master. Well, the Master’s spiritual power is higher, though.”

I said not to say anything.

“Uh… I don’t get it…”

Lily looked downcast.

“…Lily, I don’t understand either, so don’t worry.”

“As for me, I don’t even understand what you’re saying.”

Natalia seems to struggle with sensing magic power.

“I used to be pretty good at sensing magic power, too…”

“Alright, I’ll give you something nice.”

“Something nice?”

“This. It’s a magic power enhancement medicine passed down in our family for generations.”

I take out the usual pill and place it on Lily’s plate.

“Magic power enhancement? What’s that?”

“Just as the name implies, it increases magic power.”

“Huh!? Seriously!? I’ve never heard of it!”

It seems even elves don’t know about it.

It seems like this world lacks that kind of knowledge.

“It’s true, really. Here, try feeling Natalia’s and Alice’s magic power. It should be a little higher.”

“Even if you say that, I don’t remember… Oh, but I feel like Natalia’s has increased! We were about the same, but now she’s higher than me…”

Lily visibly darkened.

“Here, swallow it. Your magic power will increase too.”

“Yeah… but, this world has such amazing things, huh? Yuma’s world seems to have many people with high magic power.”

It’s not really like that. In terms of ratio, there are probably more here.

No one eats poisonous insects, after all.

“I see. Oh, I see. So this medicine is a traditional one passed down in your family. We also have such secret techniques in our family.”

They interpreted it nicely on their own.

“That’s about right.”

“I feel bad for receiving something like this.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Because I feel like I’m the one at fault.

“Thanks.”

Lily expresses her gratitude and gulps down the pill with water.

“Don’t even taste it, okay?”

“Mm… Did it increase?”

Lily immediately asks.

“It won’t increase that quickly. It’s better to take it regularly.”

“Well, that’s true. Alright! I’ll do my best!”

She’s such a positive child.

“By the way, just curious, are you okay with bugs?”

“Bugs? Well, I was born and raised in the forest, so I’m okay. I even eat caterpillars.”

Whoa, that’s disgusting!

((“Master, that’s really mean… Or rather, not much different than you, is it?”))

((“Even so, who would eat a caterpillar?”))

They’re wriggly.

((“I feel like it’d be similar to shrimp though…”))

…That’s true.

Well, it’s about the same.

I don’t like them raw, but I could eat them.

“It’s good that you’re not afraid of bugs. It means you’re okay with Big Spider-chan and Bee-san too.”

And it’s okay if the ingredients of the pill are revealed.

“I asked Annie, but it’s a monster with terrifying magic power, right? That’s just plain scary.”

She was good at sensing magic power…

I guess Big Spider-chan won’t be liked after all.
