Chapter 1: Prelude to the War (3)

"Looks pretty good."

Looking down from the room on the twenty-ninth floor of the Hyatt Hotel, Yonglin commented with a smile.

That being said, she wasn't actually too happy. I feel more tedious.

With high-priced furniture and luxurious daily necessities, the decoration in this room can indeed make people feel a kind of material high-end...... But that's about it.

Everything in the room is the best portrayal of modern human civilization, powerful, beautiful and cold, but it is just a gathering of more expensive things, and there is no will to stay on it at all. If it was that kind of small courtyard with a Japanese style, Yonglin might find it a little more interesting.

Although the mass-produced products produced by civilization have no soul to speak of, Yonglin also admits that they are powerful...... It's just that from an ornamental point of view, she still prefers to see things with cultural heritage.

However, considering that this is the result of the master's choice, Yonglin will not say a word about the above feelings.

And the young man who personally chose this place as his residence was also indifferent, and he couldn't see any joy at all. It seemed that the luxurious decoration here meant nothing to him.

"It's okay to live as a place to live. It's nice to be in your eyes."

"By the way, how did you find this place?"

Yonglin withdrew her gaze from the city and turned to look at the young man standing behind her.

When she walked around Fuyuki City, she followed the induction between master and slave to come here.

To be honest, she thought that her master was the type to find a temple to live in. As a result, it was a bit unexpected to choose the place to stay in what was clearly the most upscale hotel in the city.

"This is what a well-wisher told me. I wasn't familiar with the city, so I had to ask passers-by."

Yujiro, who stretched out his hand to explain, described what was supposed to be a rather thrilling meeting as a tedious situation. Looking at his unchanging appearance, it is not that he is being modest, but that he is expressing his true feelings in his heart.

…… If the hero king knew that he was classified as a "well-wisher" and a "passerby" by Yujiro, he would immediately be furious and sacrifice his treasure to pierce it.

Because Yujiro's explanation is too normal. So Yonglin, who didn't think there was anything abnormal, didn't continue to ask.

"But I have one more question...... This is a double room, right?"

Pointing to the two beds in the room, Yonglin asked.

At this time、Yujiro, who always maintains a calm look, can't help but show a little embarrassed look.

You also need an ID card to open a house.,Although there is a need to prepare his ID card (let's count it as a welfare for the mission.、Identity and other issues never have to worry about Yujiro.。 However, he didn't prepare Yonglin's ID card, so he booked a double room on his own initiative.

Of course...... It is a double room with two beds. Definitely not the kind with a big bed. Yujiro didn't want Yonglin to think that he had any bad intentions.

――――Actually, Yujiro himself thought too much about it here. Yonglin didn't care about this kind of thing.

As if to see through Yujiro's heart, Yongrin smiled and shook his head.

"I mean...... I am a heroic soul and a servant, and I don't need to sleep."

Yonglin, who was holding his arms and expounding his opinion, explained as if he was afraid that Yujiro would not understand.

"Even unnecessary materialization should be avoided, as it wastes unnecessary consumption."

As Yonglin said, the longer the servant continues to materialize, the more mana the master will waste for the servant to maintain. In fact, avoiding servant materialization is the right strategy if not the necessary tasks.

But...... Yujiro is not the kind of person who will act according to the principle of "right", and he prefers to act according to his feelings rather than boring things like thinking about profits.

"I don't think it's such a burden to make you materialize, you can keep doing it if you want to."

That's exactly what happened......

Hearing Yujiro's answer, Yonglin sighed silently in his heart.

He had spent less than three hours with the young man, but the sage could already feel that he was not the kind of man who would consider the gains and losses in everything.

The eyes that were too sharp and revealed strong courage had already made Yonglin know very clearly what kind of guy he was.

Too strong warrior character...... It is the type who will give his life for a promise or a belief that may seem stupid to others.

Such people will never rack their brains for the so-called interests, because they care more about their own feelings than gains and losses. And Yujiro is such a guy...... Yonglin could see it at a glance.

Because her children are such people. But...... Although they are the same kind of people, Yujiro and her children are very different.

More agitated, more angry, more cold...... It's also more innocent.

The last one is probably because of his young age.

Although he sighed in his heart, Yonglin himself did not hate Yujiro's type. It should be said that compared to the orthodox magician who follows the steps, such a straightforward guy is more in line with her heart.

Victory is nothing more than a hand-to-hand thing, and fun is more important than that.

"Since Yujiro doesn't feel like a burden, then I won't refuse this kindness. But......... Speaking of which, Yujiro isn't a proper magician, is he?"

She simply addressed the young man by his first name. It should be said that in the conversation between the master and the slave, they all call each other by their first names...... This can be regarded as a kind of wordless tacit understanding.

"Magician? I'm a warrior...... I don't know anything about magic, spells, witchcraft, or anything like that."

Such desperate words, Yujiro said them in a calm tone that seemed to be completely unmentionable.

His words were tantamount to declaring that he was a complete layman in this war, but now it seems that this layman is not only inexperienced...... It's also arrogant and outrageous.

Hearing Yujiro's intolerable words, Yonglin did not feel any annoyance because of the unorthodoxy of the master, on the contrary, she nodded suddenly and looked at him with a new gaze.

"I see...... Is this endless flow of power from you not "magic" in the ordinary sense of the word, but a purer essence?"

Generally speaking, the master of the servant is best... Or it has to be a magician.

Because the mana maintained by the servant in the present world must be supplied by the master, and the power of the servant can be exerted is also directly related to the amount of mana that the master can supply. Theoretically, the better the master is a magician, the more powerful the servant will be able to exert in his lifetime.

And then we have to mention such a thing as magic, in addition to the mentality, experience, will, and knowledge of ordinary people, the most fatal reason is that the supply of magic cannot be implemented.

The so-called magic is actually a kind of life force. The magician uses the virtual nerves in his body, that is, the magic circuit, to transform the life force into magic.

Of course, the endless extraction of one's own life force is suicidal. As a magician, it is a skill that must be mastered to draw magic from the great sources of the outside world. But if you want to master this ability...... The first thing you have to do is have a magic circuit.

That's why...... The reason why only a magician can be a master. Because magic circuits are rare, most people have one or two, but that number is not comparable to that of magicians whose bloodlines have been specialized.

However, this argument was only based on the idea of the Western magic knapa plate, and Yonglin knew that he was not a magician, but he also held a mysterious existence standing in front of him.

"I didn't expect there to be a martial artist of your level now...... And at such a young age, you must be a rare genius, Yujiro."

She did not hesitate to praise her master.

Magicians are like breed improvements, enhancing the demonic nature of their descendants from generation to generation. However, this kind of thing is very meaningless in the mysterious world of the East.

Instead of relying on the bloodline accumulated over generations, we rely on our own talents, lives, and wills to break the limits of human beings...... That is the existence called the samurai.

Constantly exercising oneself, hoping to obtain the Enlightenment in the process of training, and to master one's own life qi -- there are only a handful of people in the East who can do this.

Warriors who have comprehended qi and transformed themselves into mysteries do not seek the truth like magicians, but their physical bodies are quite resistant to magic, and they are not afraid to fight fantasy species.

In a way, they are closer to a mysterious being than magicians.

Yonglin could feel that what was being transmitted from the youth was not a transformed magic power, but a more pure power...... Life force, in the East is called the power of "essence".

"My master has always said that I am a genius......

The praise from Yonglin didn't make Yujiro smile halfway, and his overly calm attitude and words that seemed to have something to say made one wonder if something had happened to him.

However, Yujiro himself had no intention of going on. He quickly regained that irritating calm and continued to look at Yonglin with a wordless gaze.

"Now I finally understand...... You don't feel it at all, do you? Yujiro."

「…… Feel something?"

Yonglin couldn't help but smile gorgeously.

After all, the young man is a martial artist, not a magician. It's normal not to be aware of it. That's where the caster comes in.

"Let's go. Master, it's time to visit the guests on the top floor."

Yonglin's words made Yujiro a little confused. However, seeing her confident smile, Yujiro didn't have much trouble believing her words.
