NOVEL WEB c70
I continued to try, and though it was a physical sensation, lunch time was over.
"[Blowfish] [Blowfish] [Blowfish] "
Unable to find a creature that would be satisfactorily precise in the granting of the ability to retrieve memories, I became the only one to give Maria a blowfish using the ability of jealousy.
"[Cute ......]"
[giggles ......]"
The first blowfish I summoned was still in Maria's arms, looking as pained as ever, and the newly summoned blowfish were swimming gracefully around the room.
And after all this time, I have no idea how cute blowfish are.
"There was a time when I practiced summoning magic with great longing, but I could only summon little shiny fluffies, so my brother is awesome."
I have a grasp of the details of Maria's magic training.
Basically, the training mainly involves repetition of the basics and magic that can be used in combat to defend yourself, and summoning magic is one of the special magic, so it is not part of the training content.
Or rather, it's not exactly summoning magic. ......
No, if you could summon a micro-spirit on your own, you have more talent than I do."
She probably read about it in the books she liked to read when she was little, adventure tales and the like, and practiced on her own to see if she could use it.
In this world, summoning magic is quite difficult compared to other types of magic.
Anyone can use it if they improve their level of knowledge, but in reality, it is not so easy.
It is a magic that can be used in battle and other situations only when everything is in place: natural talent, the amount of magic power, manipulation of magic power, auxiliary tools called relics, and training that involves abandoning one's life and risking one's life.
In other words, there are many conditions that must be fulfilled in order to master summoning magic, and even if one has the highest level of talent, one cannot spend time on magic that one does not know if it can be put to practical use, and one cannot be aware of one's talent.
Even if a person has the highest talent, he cannot spend time on magic that he does not know how to put to practical use, and he is unaware of his talent.
I wonder if that's so?
But after all, my brother is more amazing than me, because you can summon multiple summoned creatures with exactly the same appearance. ......"
In fact, summoning magic is strictly a semi-autonomous illusion created by magic power.
Most of the elements are similar to the ability of jealousy.
The appearance of the summoned object and the ability to be given can only be determined to a certain extent by you, and the details are completely random.
However, the accuracy of the summoning magic can be improved depending on the skill of the person who uses it.
Maria is under the illusion that I have a great deal of skill in summoning magic, because she does not know that I summon with my jealousy ability.
Someday she will find out through her ability of mercy, but I'm not going to bother explaining it to her. ......
Hold on, summoning in the same form?
Clione."
I was thinking only of extracting memories without any effect on the consciousness or psyche of Edoran and the others, but Maria's words made me think of a certain other way.
Taking out memories means losing what was originally in a person's mind, and memories, in particular, are essential to the formation of a person's personality.
The act of taking out memories has more or less a considerable impact.
So how about copying the memories of the church officials instead of taking out their memories?
It would be extremely difficult to completely copy all of the original memories, but the risk would be minimal compared to extracting the memories.
"I'll be right back, and Maria can wait here playing with the blowfish."
"Okay."
""Huff, guffaw. ......."
"...... and the blowfish looks like it's in a lot of pain, so you'll have to reduce the force a bit."
After apologizing in my heart to Maria's stuffed blowfish, I leave the room.
"{The order is to copy this person's memory.]"
The subjects of the experiment are the religious sisters whom Maria said were liars, and most of them, with the exception of a few, are praying to God, so no one is watching Clione.
At worst, they are the ones who have no problem with failure.
Nah, na na na ......."
"[Blocking Isarent sound]."
Stop, please quit. ......
She must have been terrified of me and the approaching Clione, who was giving off a strange atmosphere, and she pleads for help with tears in her eyes.
Hic!"
...... that?"
The moment I thought Clione was attached to Sister's forehead, Clione came back to me.
It was over in such a split second.
From the looks of the Sister, it doesn't seem to have affected her.
[Sleep Sleep.]
I put the sisters to sleep, just in case.
"[Show me a week's worth of memories that were copied by the Order."
Clione sticks to my forehead in the same way.
What flowed into my mind was a week's worth of memories, memories of life in this ordinary town.
"Erase the current part."
It would be impossible for the summoned creature to determine only the necessary parts. The disadvantage is that sorting out the information is tedious, but the time limit is unlimited, and it can be scrutinized thoroughly, little by little.
The problem is the number of clione, six can be summoned if bound to only clione, which costs a certain amount, but it is not possible to summon creatures in an emergency.
And the ability to duplicate memories requires clione to be kept out.
In contrast, there are eight executives of the Shinryoku Faction that I captured, which is a lot for such a small group.
The top one, Edoran, is a definite candidate, and two others who are in a position to supplement him, making a total of three clione to manage, I guess.
"Huh. ......."
The problem has been taken care of, but there is a new problem emerging: the decline in the strength of the group.
There are less than half a year left before the original story begins at the academy, so I need to get as much strength as I can.
