The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

That night.

"... then, let's do it. Are you sure it's okay?"

Yeah.

Laocles sat down in his chair and put his arms together, ready for anything.And it looks a little bit like Crore's waist.

"Protect the cane if you want to be fascinated by magic"

“I think you should protect yourself.... well, that's fine. "

With a sigh, Crore bows and looks at Laocles, who is sitting down.

Well then, let's go.

"Come on."

As soon as Laocles replied, Crore's eyes twinkled.My eyes when I was using magic.If you can stare at it, your head will blur and you'll want to draw Crore.

... I thought that Lao Cres would have another effect instead of painting it, but I watched it closely.

"... let's..."

Laocles moans, gnashing his teeth, and stands still to endure something.Then, I swung out my gaze that didn't move like I was pinned down, and I turned my eyes away from Crore.

"Oh, no. Look at me."

But before LaoCles' gaze, Crore turns around and grabs his gaze.When this happened, Lao Cres seemed to be unable to escape anymore, and while she seemed to be resisting, she was staring at Crore.

Gradually, Lao Cres' eyes became dazzled like a cloud, and she could see that her body was losing strength.

Laocles gradually gazed at Crore and reached out to her...

... and then, when exhaling Crore closed her eyes, Laocles moved, as if the golden bondage had been lifted.My breathing is rough and sweat is oozing out on my forehead, like after a strenuous exercise.

Don't you think so? It seems that I was able to resist until the middle of it.

When Crore called out... Lao Cres was breathing on his shoulder and looking desperate.

"... now you can protect the cane"

Unusually, Lao Cres sighed deeply and fell down in a head-holding position.I think I was a little shocked.So it must have been an unsatisfactory result for Lao Cres.I guess that means you're fascinated.

"I can't help it. Crore is a brilliant model..."

"... but that doesn't mean you can't resist."If I'm going to throw you into a detective's den, I should at least be able to do this. "

Laocles is highly professional.I think that his extremely sinister face is probably his' regretful 'expression.

"You know, think about yourself before you do."You'll be all right, Mr. Tuogo. I'm not going to be fascinated anyway. "

However, when Crore said in amazement, Laocles raised his face.

"...... aren't you fascinated by the potatoes?"

That's right. I wonder how many skilled people there are who can cast magic on the Spirit Lord.

Really? When I looked at Crore, she smiled and told me.

"Creatures with a lot of magic power are magical, because of the movement of magic power from nature and the outside... I mean, magic."It's going to make you stronger.That's why charming magic works hard on high-ranking mages and monsters.I once took on the task of diving into the Imperial Castle and dropping the mage, but it was very difficult. "

Mr. Crore, you've done a lot of work all over the place.I want to ask you something, but I don't want to hear it.

Then let's give it a try, so Crore stared at me.I stare into Mr. Crore's eyes as well.

I'm curious if I'm really not fascinated. [M]Certainly, it was before I became a spirit that the magic of fascination was used in earnest... It was the first time that I was able to truly cast a magic after becoming a spirit.

Crore's eyes are always more beautiful.Deep, vibrant emeralds. It is the color of the forest when the leaves overlap and can be seen through the sunlight. It's beautiful.

... I thought so, and I started to tingle.I want to draw, I want to draw.

However, my head doesn't get blurry, and my mind is clear. But I want to draw.

"Hey Crore, can I draw?"

"Yes, please."

Crore, who laughs with a smile, always looks more attractive.More and more, I'm nervous. I want to draw. I want to draw. I want to draw.

"... hey, isn't this fascinating?"

"A little, yes, but not at all."If the magic really works, you can't stand anymore. "

While listening to the conversation between the two of them, I am already drawing Crore with a sketchbook.Fun! Happy! Crore, you look beautiful!

"Maybe this is it." You've opened your heart to me too much.That makes it easier for you to get caught up in magic... hmm, I'm glad you're trusting me, but I'm a little worried. "

While saying that, Crore giggled happily, and then, for a moment, he played my model.

I was satisfied with the drawing of Mr. Crore.After that, Mr. Crore said, "Yes, the magic is over." When he lightly slapped his cheek, it suddenly felt like his consciousness was clear, and the tingling had disappeared.... I don't think it was a charming magic thing to do.I feel that it was a bit on the line.I don't know. I think it's Crore's opponent. I think so.

"Well, for this reason, even if you hit Mr. Togo with all my might, it's still this much."So, I was the best at charming magic in the organization... well, if I was this attractive, other charmers would probably be fine as well. "

I see. I'm a little relieved.I'm convinced that I can't help but be fascinated by Croa-san, and I'm also relieved.Ms. Crore doesn't do anything terrible to enchant me.

“That's why you're the problem.Even if you are not fascinated, you will be fascinated. "

Laocles had a bitter expression on his face, and he was stretching out his arms and thinking.

I actually fought Crore's fascinating magic, and it seemed like I knew how horrible it was.

... hmmm.

Hey, Crore. The more magic you have, the less magic you'll get.

"Yes, that's right. Well, I don't think it all depends on the magnitude of the magic."For example, Fei-kun seems to have the equivalent of training to resist the magic of fascination, so I think he has less magic power than Lao Cres, but he is stronger than Lao Cres. "

Oh, I see. I see.If I train, will I gain resistance?... yes.

But I think the quickest way to do it is to increase your magic power.

I will quickly propose to the two of them. [M]

It's just one thing to increase the magic power of Laocles.

"...... Tougo, what are you thinking?"

"No, the fruit I was fed to the birds."Well, I thought it would be nice if Laocles ate it. "

I quickly draw the example of the fruit in front of the interesting Laocles and the funny Crore.It's like a spicy persimmon.I don't like the taste of this, and I don't have very good memories of it in the first place.The bird seized me, forced me to eat this, my body became hot, and I held an egg and hatched it...

I've seen the fruits of this fruit several times since I became a spirit.If you look at it as a forest, you can quickly see where that fruit is.

Therefore, I quickly drew the example fruit and materialized it.Sifting, the painting trembles, shrinking, shrinking, and shrinking.The same fruit came out.

"What the hell is this?"

"The one I was fed by the bird to warm the bird's eggs."If you eat this, your magic power will increase and you will have a fever of wisdom. "

As I explained, Laocres looked at the fruit with a face that looked like 'I don't know'.

"So, please eat."

"... is this a fruit that people can't?"

No, until the birds hatched the spirit eggs, I was a normal human being, so maybe I'll be fine.

Laocles seemed a little hesitant, but eventually he grabbed the fruit and began to roar.

... suddenly.

"... that tastes weird."

"Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not delicious."

With a slightly unfortunate face, Laocres ate the rest of the fruit.I put out a peach to mouth and they ate it too."Then I'll get hydrated..."

”... my body is weird”

"Yeah. Maybe the magic power... erm, I think Faye said it was" shaken ".That's how you get more. "

Laocles seemed a little flustered and walked a little... and collapsed into the spot like his body was losing strength.

"What, what is this?"

"I think I'll have a fever for a while. Um... let's go to bed for now.You'll feel better when you're asleep. "

With that, Lao Cres managed to get up and enter the guest room with a dragging footsteps.The rest is my home, which I know on my own, and will give me a proper nap.

"... I saw something interesting."

Is that so?

And Crore, who was watching a series of moves, leaked that feeling.Well, I'm glad you had a good time.

Then I called Faye and I decided to ask her to stay with Laocles.

Faye told me before that it would be easier to have someone with less magic power beside you when you have more magic power and wisdom.

Then, the wind spirits came out of my nostrils, and they were sitting on the chest of the sleeping Lao Cres.The Wind Spirit sucked in the magic energy and seemed very happy. That's good.

Ah, I see. What kind of fruits do you have to increase your magic power?

Yeah. Do you want to eat Faye too?

Faye seemed to be concerned about her lack of magic power, so she asked if she wanted it.However, Faye thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"No, I'll stop."

Is that so?

I'm a little surprised, but if Faye says so, that's fine.

"... look, I wonder."There's just a lot of weird people out here in the woods, right?There were a lot of people with a lot of magic power.In that case, I thought it would be better for me to be the one with less magic power.It's quite convenient for me to sense magic power..... "

Faye told me so.

Apparently, he thought about all of us rather than himself, and thought he'd be in a state of low magic power.

"That way, we can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses." Isn't it nice? "

Yeah.

I think this place of Faye's is pretty.

And then a day.

I took turns with Faye and Crore, and I took care of Laocles.No, I'm not sick, so it might be strange to say nursing care.

"...... Turtle. You were really... a normal human before you became a spirit, I guess..."

"Yes, of course."

"But there was a lot of magic."To the extent that the ordinary sealer can be broken in no time. "

"I guess, I guess..."

... Lao Cres just ate one piece of fruit and the fever didn't go away for a day.Faye said that the magic power was shaking inside him, and the magic power was being stimulated and increased, but his body would be hard.

“I'm sorry, I should have asked you to try a smaller amount.”

“No, it doesn't matter. If you can resist the charm now, it's cheap.”

That's what Laocres says, but I'm sorry that I ate the same fruit.I was fed about three times a day, so I thought it was something like that, so I ate one whole...

At the very least, I apologized for bringing the peaches and peeling them, for filling the jug with water, and for drawing the ice and putting it on the forehead... but at such a time, it's difficult.

And then another day.

Looks like you're okay now!

Yeah, I think the magic's calmed down.

Lao Cres, who was fully energized, was getting out of bed and moving a little.For the time being, the magic power seemed to have calmed down, and the heat of wisdom seemed to have calmed down.

Laocles grips and opens his hand, then... and laughs.

“Apply to Croatia for a rematch.”

Oh, I'm so motivated! Lao Cres is so motivated!

Soon thereafter, the battle between Crores and Lao Cres began again.

Well then, let's go.

"Come on."

Lao Cres is somewhat amused... somehow, he stares at Crore as he loosens his mouth militantly.

Crore stared at Lao Cres, glistening her green eyes... and...

"... well, if you can resist and shake it off, you'll be fine."

As a result, Laocres is victorious! We did it, Lao Cres! Oh, my God, Lao Cres!

"I don't feel like I've won..."

However, even with Laocles, it seemed very difficult to shake off Crore's charm.He's breathing roughly, and he's like, "I don't feel like I've won."

"Even if you don't feel like winning, if you run away, you win."Alright? Don't fight like you can beat the opponent from head to toe.Let's get out of here and take care of this by surprise. "

And it seems that Crore is a little bit unhappy that Lao Cres has shaken off his fascination.I'm slightly sharpening my lips while tapping around Laocles' chest.

Well, it was worth the suffering for more than a whole day.

It seems that Laocles was convinced there for the time being.For him, increasing his magic power means becoming stronger, which seems to be a pleasure.

Ah, well then, do you want to eat another one?

So I thought it would be a good idea to recommend another one.

"... I'll never eat again"

She turned me down with a very sinister face.

Oh, yeah? I see...

"Well, then, souvenirs." Let's get you a souvenir or something. "

Okay. With Lao Cres' acclaim for Croa's work, the three of us are getting ready to go to the Detective's house.

I think the most important thing is a souvenir.... because I'm not going to give Crore back to them anymore.Crore himself seems to like the forest, and I like Crore myself.Therefore, in order to get permission for Croa to live in the forest, I would like to improve my souvenirs.

"You've already taken the jewels from the tea can."Well then, shall I make you a souvenir from the candy bottle? "

"I think that's too much for the boulders..."

I see.... Maybe I don't have much sense for souvenirs.That's why I'd definitely like to leave it to Ms. Crore, who seems to be good at that kind of thing...

"... I see."

Mr. Crore looked at me and smiled.

"Then I have a good idea."
