One day, Kiara suddenly leaned down to me and put her face close to mine.

“Brother. Please teach me your killer ray!”

What the hell are you talking about?

“What’s the killer ray ……?”

Kiara puffed out her chest as if it was obvious.

“It’s the thing that killed the attacker with a single blow.”

Oh, that.

But I’m not so sure about your naming sense.

“How in the world did you come up with the name killer ray ……”

“It’s like a ray of light that kills with one blow, right?”

“No …… you’re right about that, but …….”

Kiara smiles.

""

Don’t smile with killer rays.

“I’m sure it will come in handy once I learn it.”

“It’s useless if you don’t catch them off guard, you know?”

“Isn’t it better to have many cards in hand?”

Well, Kiara’s skills are knife throwing and poisoning.

It’s natural to want another handful of cards ……

She can’t deal with a heavily armored opponent with the cards you have.

“I get it. Just …… don’t abuse it.”

“It’ll be fine. How about you, dear sister?”

Mil waved her hand in refusal.

“I’m not good with fire magic. So I can’t do it. Also, that thing is pretty gross ……”

Mil shuddered a little.

You don’t see that kind of death very often, after all ……

Kiara raised her eyebrows for some reason.

“Was that fire?”

“Yes. Al told me about it.”

Kiara looked up at me with a sulky look.

“That’s not fair. It’s not fair to ask first ……”

Don’t be such a stickler for being the first about such things too.

The reason why my killer ray is a one-shot trick is because it seals the power of the apostle.

If I use magic, the gates of power try to open up so much.

That’s why I can only control up to one shot.

If I use it continuously, it’s a bit dangerous.

I try not to use it continuously.

When I wield a sword, it seems like some kind of power will come out too ……

Not using power is very inconvenient.

I can’t just turn it on and off like in a game.

It’s like walking around trying not to spill a glass of water.

I have to be very careful.

“W-Well, I’ll teach you …… Here, cheer up.”

◆◇◆◇◆

It’s too dangerous in the room.

I explained to her to go outside and narrow down the range of concepts and flames.

It took some trial and error, but suddenly narrowing down the range of magic was difficult.

The image construction needs to be done within 0.1 seconds.

If you’re too late, the magic power will diffuse and it will not work as magic.

If you build it too late, the magic won’t fit.

Well, if it’s not that severe, the magic will fly all over the place and it will be too dangerous.

The first step is to imprint this concept in your consciousness.

Kiara was frustrated because things were not going as she had hoped.

“This …… is quite difficult, isn’t it?”

“First of all, you have to be aware of the range.”

She had been trying for a while, but she was starting to show tiredness, so she gave up this time.

Mental fatigue is different from physical fatigue in that you can’t overdo it and get better results.

She’s just imagining, but …… I think she’s going to be able to use a more powerful ray than me.

◆◇◆◇◆

When I returned to the house, I found Mil watering the houseplants for the spotters.

I think she’s in a good mood.

""

She was even humming a song.

I don’t know what she’s humming, though.

“Looks like Acht is doing well.”

She was gently poking at the leaves and talking to the plant.

Was it better not to look?

I tried to sneak past and was spotted.

Ten seconds of silence: …… Mil stares at me, and I look away.

Mill looks like an honor student …… who was caught reading an erotic book.

“W-Were you watching ……?”

“I-I don’t know. I just got here, you know?”

Mil is clearly shaken.

“I-I see …… Anyway …… forget what you just saw!”

“Yeah …… I didn’t see that! Yep! I didn’t see it! I didn’t hear it!”

Mil’s movements stopped.

Ten seconds of silence …… again.

I was dragged into the other room with a force I can’t imagine normally.

Then, I was wall slammed with great force.

“L-Listen, okay? Oh …… that thing, you know! It’s because naming them while taking care of them makes the connection stronger!”

I nodded my head.

It’s not a good idea to get into this.

Mil moved her face even closer to mine.

“I’m not a weirdo, okay!”

I nodded my head.

It’s not a good idea to say anything else.

But I just have to ……

“Could it be that …… they all have different names?”

I couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course! Otherwise, I can’t properly connect with them! Even plants have their own personalities!”

So, the reason why they’ve become so good at spotting enemies is because she gave them names.

It’s like a secret technique.

I’m impressed in a way.

It’s amazing that I found out, or …… was it just a fluke?

“Oh …… no …… it’s good if it also increases your ability to search for enemies, right? And …….”

I think she sensed something disturbing in my slurred words.

Mil pulls away from me a little.

“And?”

I’m very sorry, but …….

“If you were doing it like that …… I think everyone would probably know. There’s not much entertainment here. So the word might go out fast ……”

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt!!!”

It was the first scream I heard from her.

It hurt my ears.

When Mil returned to the office, she fearfully checked with Kiara and found that she was blatantly averting her gaze.

The next day …… all the houseplants had name tags on them.

It seems to have been reopened because it was in Mil’s handwriting.
