With my wrist and ankle bound, my voice didnāt come out like what I wanted to. Whatās more, it really hurts to not know the situation of my surrounding because of the blindfold. That was careless of me to let those men kidnap meā¦. or more like I fell into a slight panic there. The reason for me to not get affected with the <Sleep> magic must be because I was more superior than the caster, if they were better, they should be able to cast magic without aria. I never thought I would fall into these kinds of incident like in some foreign movie. Itās already too late to regret, for now I should go looking for Haru first.
I cast <Wide Area Scan> magic without aria to look at my surrounding.
Why?! Calm down, take a deep breath and calm down, I repeatedly said this in my mind.
While continuing to take a deep breath, I can smell something like clay and dust. It must be from the bricks and stones. And when I started to try and hear clearly, I can hear a crying sound and a talking voice reverberating from the floor. I am clearly inside a building, not in a carriage nor an open place.
I started to rub my face for a few times against the floor to let the blindfold slide off a little. Still, the rubbed part started to prickle, this might be going to leave a scratch. When I opened my eyes, I see something like a complex pattern drawn on the floor and it was shining slightly, while this roomās size is about three tatami with the door made from iron. With some effort I lifted my upper half body and then realized that the drawn pattern on the floor is a magic circle. There is only me in this room, Haruās not here. Even if she is an arrogant brat, she is just a 6 year old girl, I have to save her quickly.
Iām not good at dealing with Haru, but that doesnāt mean I wish for a misfortune to happen to her. Though I think not meddling with her own business is for the best, she is still my family and my little sister. What I have to do now is save her, because I am her big sisterā.
Since I can see now I started to slip my wrist from the rope, although giving me some scratches, I was able to take them off.
Is the person who tied me an amateur I wonder?
From there the blindfold, the gag and the rope that tied my ankle got completely taken off. I did it, with this Iām free! When I was doing the āI did itā pose,Ā gigigi~Ā the door swung open with a heavy sound and a slender man with a hooded robe entered the room. I was seen by this unknown man when I was frolicking around. It was so embarrassing so I demand a redo! Right, NOW!!
āFumu, so youāve woke up. Now then, just what exactly are you?ā
āā¦ā
āYou didnāt get affected with my magic. You might be equal to me or someone whoās magic might be better than me, or perhaps you have some kind of magic item to resist magic but that should be in the possession of that ojou-chan with good attire. Now then, Ā just what exactly are you?ā
That man just talked without caring that I got away from my binds. Because of the hood, I canāt see his face, but should I try to made up an answer and draw some information from him firstā¦?
āIām just a guard. Anyway is ojou-sama safe?ā
āHoo, thatās amazing to become a guard for someone at your age. Kukukuku, Iām starting to understand a guardās standpoint when someone at your age is already on equal ability or even better than me.ā
āIāve answered your question, now can you answer my question. Is ojou-sama safe?ā
āAaa, sheās safe. Thereās not even a single scratch on her, yet. Still I donāt get it. Why are you worried so much about that ojou-chan? Didnāt she shun you away?ā
I see a wicked grin on his face. Did he hear the conversation in the changing room? I unconsciously clicked my tongue. However from our conversation, he still does not seem to realize that Haru and I are siblings, and for now Haru is still fine too. Itās really a relief.
āI am tied to ojou-sama by a blood contract, shunned or not it doesnāt matter. Now enough with the talk, I will go to where ojou-sama is so can you move away from there?ā
āToo bad but I canāt. Whatās more, magic canāt be used in this room, do you think a little girl like you can get away from me?ā
āPu, Ahahahahahaha! You really are amusing. I can do nothing but laugh when I hear a line that keeps raising a flag.ā
I lift my bangs up to the top of my head while looking at the man. My real thought were slipped out there because this man was just too funny, and I realized I donāt need to keep an act in a place that thereāre no one that knows me. The man was surprised when he saw me suddenly change but he still didnāt show any movement.
āMagic canāt be used in this room, you said, nee is it true? Really? Whoās to decide that? You want to say this magic circle is a seal magic? Thereās no meaning for a barrier and a magic circle if they got destroyed with just overloading them with magic power, you know? There is nothing absolute in this world. Miracles doesnāt happen thatās why itās called a miracle. Uun, I donāt know about it but Iām sure it is!! And for you to spew information like that to a person you just kidnapped, just what are you doing? Are you an Idiot? You want to die? Donāt decide how strong a person is by their looks and take an arrogant attitude like that you damn small fry!!
O windstorm swallow everything, <Tornado>!!!ā
I touched the magic circle with both hands, and used the strongest output of my magic power for the first time.
