Chapter 4: Loyal and reliable friends
I put down the teapot and tried to refill it, but I found that the teapot disappeared with Sonny, and the sense of feedback from the magic silk under the Shanghai cloth told me that Sunny was hiding nearby without using her ability. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Just as I suspected she had run away with the teapot, Sunny returned with a new pot of hot tea. I saw her skillfully pour new tea for me and Sakiya, and then return to her original state of daze.
Did the dazed red goblin mistake mistake me and Sakuya for Luna and Starr in the process of being in a daze?
Anyway, first of all, thank you, "Thank you." β
Sakiya also said, "Thank you, Miss Fairy, how about coming to the Red Devil Pavilion and learning to be a maid with me?" β
"Ughβhey." Sunny scratched her head, "Luna and Starr probably disagree. β
The maid shrugged her shoulders to show no reluctance.
"There are very few magicians in Gensokyo," I continued to confide in the head maid, "Maybe there are only two serious magicians in it, me and Patsy, and Marisa is half a smaller, so I need to take the necessary action in order for her to become a qualified third." In many systems, the number of three represents the most important significance, such as the minimum number of bits in the core expression of the prophecy judgment system, the number of basic expressions of the gate, and the number of the number that should usually be cited when giving examples. When discussing the subject of magical science, it is easy for only two people to miss each other's and one's own negligence, and in this case three people are the most suitable, and although there are more people, they can have some effect, but they are still not as efficient as three people. That's why cultivating Marisa as a third magician is my main goal in the near future. β
"Why, then, did it turn out to be a countermeasure to remove Marisa from her human identity?" Sakiya asked.
"Breaking away from human identity is only the first step, and I never thought that the first step would become a ravine. While there is no such thing as being a qualified magician and being free from human status," I said, "it is not so much that a person who remains a human being and overcomes human weakness to become a magician may be greater than a magician in the ordinary sense, but if that greatness lasts only for decades or even years, it does not serve in the least conformity to the meaning of the profession itself." After all, the complexity of magic is not as convenient as mathematics, physics and chemistry to be recorded and passed on only by symbols, and what magic requires is a research attitude that emphasizes both the transmission of wisdom and self-sublimation. Ah, well, I'll pause my hype about the magician. β
"Ahaha-" Sakiya apologized for her wandering.
"I finally decided to ignore Marisa herself's wishes and perform a secret, forced magical transformation on her. The magician here does not refer to a profession, but to a race based on human genetic mutations. I know that there are many people who may interfere with me in the spirit of respecting the freedom of will, so this operation is secret, but it is still inevitable that Reimu will find out about it. The culprit that made Reimu discover the clues is the three goblins of light, Sunshine, Moonlight, and Starlight. β
"Ha, I see."
"Huh? Huh? Sunny shook her head.
"In the beginning, the universe was created...... No, it was probably around the time of the legend that Marisa appeared in a giant human form that I began to plan to transform Marisa, and of course the location was Marisa's house in the Enchanted Forest, which was remote and inaccessible enough that Marisa could enter without my guidance, because it was her own home. First of all, I need to lay a delicate and complex magic array in her house, the selection of magic arrays is not difficult, there are countless magic arrays that have been handed down since ancient times, and there are countless magic arrays that have been modified to transform the body, and it takes a slow process to improve the basic techniques to fit Marisa's body and achieve the best results, this process takes nearly a year, and I still have to communicate with Pacy for some specific problems, and I can continue to implement it after getting the best plan. β
"Does Patchoulie know what you're doing?"
"Maybe I don't know, maybe I know." I'm still not sure," Patchy doesn't like to express opinions about magic and matters other than magic, and when she does, she usually only gives opinions about magic itself or phenomena caused by magic. β
"Sometimes." Sakiya gave a basic affirmation to this.
"In addition to the magic array as a fixed program, the necessary materials and a suitable way to guide the activation also require a lot of time to prepare. Materials such as the blood and hair of various races, ores rich in light and heavy metal elements, and wonderful rhythms are not difficult to collect, but a suitable way to guide the activation is a bit troublesome," I thought for a while and said, "To activate the body transformation process, both to activate the magic array, you need to deprive the body of the control of the body, and more importantly, the consciousness must not resist the transformation in the process, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable, so the method I thought of was to tear off the part of Marisa's mochi that is in charge of the surface consciousness, That is, let a small half of the soul leave the body first. This would require Marisa to be on the verge of death to do so. β
"Is it really that dangerous?" Sakiya covered her mouth in surprise.
"Activation is the most dangerous step, in order to solve this problem, I made a dagger, using the core materials from Marisa's blood and hair, by building a magical heart inside the dagger, so that when the dagger pierces Marisa's heart, it can temporarily replace the heart to perform a small part of the function without being rejected by the body's spontaneous stress response."
"I don't quite understand it, but it means that if the dagger pierces Miss Marisa's heart, the body will quickly fall into a state of death, but before it actually dies, the heart function automatically activated by the dagger will promote blood circulation and avoid death?"
"Well, I was able to extract Marisa's mochi in the process."
"If this process is successfully completed and Marisa becomes a magical race, will her heart return to normal on its own?"
"The dagger will melt and be stripped of impurities by the magic circle, and eventually become a new, healthy, and less indestructible heart, a part of Marisa's body, ah, a part of her body."
"But it didn't work out that way, and what about after that?"
"When I was arranging the magic array, I discovered the three goblins' theft, and my original intention was to save energy, so I invited them to set up refractive light and sound insulation for me while I worked, and Starr was responsible for guarding the surrounding area for possible uninvited guests until I finished all my work."
"But they live near the shrine, and one day the shrine maiden discovered the clues, and she followed the movements of the fairies and noticed Alice's abnormal activity, is that right?"
"Sort of."
The environment suddenly became so quiet that I couldn't even pronounce a few words to my own ears, and the anomalous reaction, which didn't even work as a medium to propagate sound waves, made me immediately aware that Luna and Starr were peeping nearby.
Miss Sakiya also began to look around keenly, and because of the lack of Sonny's light refraction, I immediately spotted two leprechauns on the roof, golden drills and large bows peeking out from the eaves from time to time. Thinking that it would be ineffective to persuade them to come down at this point, I let Shanghai raid them from behind, so Luna and Starr were kicked down by Shanghai.
"Whoaaa
Starr remembered that she could fly before she landed, so she stopped her descent and tried to flee, but I reached out and grabbed her ankle and tore it off and threw it on the wooden floor.
"It hurts!" Stara rubbed the back of her head and got up, "Stupid Luna, Sunny won't be able to hear if I just silence my voice." Heck, Luna couldn't hear me back then. β
"Why did you come back?" I asked.
Seeing his companions standing on the floor, Starr reluctantly gave up the idea of resisting and escaping, "Because I remembered that it was Sunny Son's turn to make tea and snacks today, I planned to bring Sunny back." β
It's a reason I can't fault it.
