Chapter VIII

Belica first met Chris? When he was white, he saw through his lame arrogance at a glance. pretended to be very strong, but in fact, he was afraid to death in his heart.

The face of the Oriental has a very intimate feeling for Belica, but in the same way, Belica, who was once an Oriental, is very recognizable to the Oriental. Chris? Bai's lame arrogance may be really arrogant in the eyes of other classmates, but in the eyes of Belica, it is just lame acting. It's ridiculous that Chris greeted her with familiarity.

Belica ignored him, although he was surprised by his classical and handsome face, but he was only surprised, and had nothing to do with Belica, Belica praised him mockingly, but he didn't expect to make Chris's nose almost tilt to the sky, and after sighing slightly about the stupidity of people, he ignored her, and went to find his playmate, and the only friend in this world - Noah.

Noah is a very cute and off-line girl, which is what people usually call silly sweet white.

In this academy, with Noah by company, and Chris? The kraft candy that was hard pasted on the white one, my life in Elizabeth Magic Academy was not too bad, after all, although Chris's kraft candy was smelly and sticky, it was still quite useful to repel flies.

Learn to do tasks every day to expand the magic circuit, busy life, with Chris and Noah with us, although I am a little worse than Noah, in this "society" where strength is paramount, with Chris's protection, no one dares to blatantly stumble on us.

Later, when I thought about it, I thought it should have been Chris's brain convulsions, how could it stick to a rotten person like me. I'm the first girl to ignore him! Even I find it a little funny.

――

When Chris first met Belica, he thought she was a fairly ordinary English girl, and her appearance could only be regarded as beautiful, but he approached Belica with the simple will to increase the position of the head of the family, and in his opinion: If Belica also wants to inherit the position of the head of the family, joining forces with him is an inevitable result.

Unexpectedly, this blonde girl just glanced at herself lightly, turned her head and stopped meeting him regularly, leaving a surprised "so handsome"!

In retrospect, maybe this was the fate of him sticking to her. Because of curiosity, I approached and then understood, and finally...... Fall in love with her.

Love at first sight is only due to the hormone that surges.

And being affectionate for a long time is the most wonderful, because I am close to her, I know her preferences, I know her strengths and weaknesses, so I can tolerate her, so I can understand her. And then laugh with her when she is in a good mood, make her laugh when she is in a bad mood, and finally remove all obstacles in her way, what could be more wonderful than that?

――

――

Under Chris's wings, Belica continues to grow, and even a silly and sweet white sluggish girl like Noah notices the wonderful atmosphere between Belica and Chris, and always finds excuses to create a two-person world for them. The only ones who haven't noticed it are Chris and Belica.

Belica is full of pride and laziness under the wings, while Chris, who is a wing, is more mature and tenacious. This is not a good thing, and Chris, who has always protected Belica, only discovered it later, but it was too late.

Belica, who overestimated his strength, secretly went to clean up the rampaging golem summoned by the C-level five-section chant alone. Unsurprisingly, Belica, who could only use C-level chanting below three stanzas, was directly killed.

Before dying, Belica thought at the last moment: why is it so strong, obviously he has been defeated before......

Chris, who rushed to the scene after receiving the news, almost went crazy with a white face, and suddenly remembered that the parchment scroll he had obtained before, if that stone could really use any magic, then even the forbidden magic of resurrection must be realized!

Chris went home and pulled out the parchment that he had discarded at random in the drawer and read it carefully.

In the lower right corner of the map is a small line: If you use A-rank magic with more than 20 sections, you need to pay 60 years of life as a sacrifice, which can be shared by several casters, and if the sacrifice is not enough, then the magic will be interrupted. The legendary "resurrection of the dead" magic is recorded in ancient books as A-level magic with more than 36 knots.

Chris pondered for a long time, because of 60 years of life, he didn't know if he would live to be 77 years old, in this era when the average life expectancy is only about 50 years.

And he didn't have any friends, if he did, only Belica's friend, Noah.

――

――

Noah didn't think about it for a few days because her best and only friend, Belica, died. Noah was born in a second-generation magic family, in fact, although it is a second-generation magic family, but his father only got the guidance of a wandering magician by chance, so he has a magic circuit, and he is not a magician at all, and he really stepped into the door of a magician from her.

And the father who can't even support himself is either drunk or scolded her every day, on a rainy day, she can't find her father, she was hungry for two days, she squatted bruised next to the street lamp and wiped her tears, a cute little girl stretched out her hand to her: "Huh? You're a magician, too! How is it here? ”

That day, Belica's smiling face was reflected in her pupils, and she felt like she had seen an angel.

Then, she was picked up by Belica at a loss, and she was overwhelmed by Belica's new clothes, and she lived with Belica and slept in the same bed.

Later, Noah learned that before that rainy day, his father was beaten to death by debt collectors for borrowing foreign debts, and she was supposed to be bought into slavery in South America. Anteas went to look for her after hearing the news.

For her, Belica is the only light in her life, and her life has lost its color.

So, when Chris found her and embarrassed to explain his intentions, Noah agreed without hesitation. But with only 30 years to live, this price is too small!

……

……

Now that you've decided, let's get started!

Well-read and experienced in combat, Chris made a heavy magic dress for me and for him. Knowing that there was still hope of saving Belica, Chris and I both got our smiles back.

I laughed and mentioned his can-like magic gown, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, if you are dealing with a creature like a dragon, this level of equipment is still necessary!

I knew I wasn't going to be of much help against dragons, and Chris knew that, so he crafted a magic costume for me that was stealthy and had a speed bonus.

I looked in the mirror at the two "adventurers" dressed in non-mainstream attire and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What a strange pair of adventurers!

Chris and I both knew it was going to be a tough trip, so we both wanted to lighten up the atmosphere along the way.

A question suddenly occurred to me: what if there were no creatures like dragons? After all, this is not a myth. I told Chris about it, and Chris just smiled and said, "Don't worry! You're sure to meet dragons! ”

That's right, you're bound to meet dragons!

Bound to meet...... The legendary Philosopher's Stone!

……

A month later, Chris and I arrived at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, and after a short resupply, we began to climb the active volcano.

The mountain road was rough and the temperature was hot, and Chris carefully opened a barrier for me to keep the heat out.

Going down from the scorching crater, there was a small dark hole, and through this small hole, there was a cave inside, an empty cavern, but in the center there was a bottomless pool of magma, popping and bubbling.

Chris and I had just come down from the hole. Suddenly, there was a loud roar that shook the entire cavern.

There's something terrible in "Quack! Screamed.

A gust of wind blew in the face, and a huge figure hovered in the air. A giant lizard with wings and horns!

It turns out that there really is a legendary creature like a dragon!

I want to get out of here as fast as I can, but I'm not running from behind me, I'm going to be ahead, so I'm going to find the rock!

In fact, when I saw that there was a dragon, I was not frightened at first, but delighted, since the legendary dragon exists, then the legendary magic stone must also exist!

"Quack!"

The dragon looked at me as he burst out, and a mouthful of cold dragon breath with countless ice slags squirted at me. This dragon turned out to be a frost dragon!

Thanks to the magic costume that Chris continued to make for me, I was covered in bruises and couldn't stand up for a while.

As I lay on the ground, I could clearly feel the scorching heat coming from underground, the temperature that almost baked me, and thanks to this temperature, I didn't faint.

The Frost Dragon was about to attack me, and suddenly, hundreds of basketball-sized fireballs frantically swarmed towards the large lizard.

Boom Boom!

It is worthy of Chris, this is already the strength of the upper great magician, even the patriarch of some 5-generation magic bloodline families.

However, even so, we underestimate this mythical creature, which is the dragon at the top of the food chain. Even in the midst of this active volcano, the Frost Dragon, whose strength has dropped by nearly half, is no match for Chris!

"Go!" Chris roared, unleashing magic to attract the Frost Dragon's firepower.

I struggled to my feet, holding on to my broken arm, and swept across the cavern despite the pain in my body.

Where is it? Where?

And at this moment, Chris, who used magic to float in the air, has been cornered by the frost dragon. At the same time, I glanced over a depression and a brilliant diamond shone with a rainbow of colors.

That...... Is it the legendary Philosopher's Stone, the heart of an angel?

I ran over and picked up the stone, and I didn't know how to use it, but I could only shout: "Philosopher's stone, let the dragon burn!" ”

Boom!

The flames rose into the sky, and the Frost Dragon, which had always been known for its equal strength in both magic and physical resistance, burst into flames.

"Quack!"

The frost dragon roared and glared at me, a shameless thief, and opened its mouth to bite the exhausted Chris, falling into the lava pool below.

Unable to break free, Chris lowered his head so I couldn't make out his face, and then he threw a crystal ball at me, sinking into the lava with the dragon.

I made a vow again: "Philosopher's Stone! Turn Chris into a diamond that can't even melt lava! ”

The light flashed, and Chris turned into a diamond that drove everyone in the world crazy, and sank into the lava pool with the flaming frost dragon.

……

I walked back to England alone with the crystal ball Chris threw down and the Philosopher's Stone found in the cave. Penniless, a ragged man, borrowing some simple magic to walk towards England. Why? Because I didn't know which magic was below 20 verses of A-rank, and I could only use D-rank chanting magic below 10 verses, and that shallow amount of reading, I made this very stupid but very safe choice.

So it took me twice as long to go back than it did when I came.

I didn't go to anyone else to share this sacrifice, not to mention that there was no one, and even if there was someone, I didn't want him to share it, not because I was kind, but because I wanted Belica's whole life to belong to me!

In saving Belica, I made another bold decision to put this heart on Belica's body, a stone that even the Frost Dragon could defeat, so that no one could hurt Belica again!

When I saved Belica, I drew a magic circle of organ connection, and I did it, if this is not a heart, and the organ connection is not successful, then then I will use my heart at that time, well! Not all spare parts are ready! Let's get started!

Sure enough, I bet right, Chris's scroll is right, this is really the heart of an angel. She couldn't move, but it still warmed Belica's body.

I watched Belica slowly wake up, and I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and I clearly felt the feeling of emptying my mind!

This...... Is it a sacrifice?

I drew a magic circle on my body before I saved Belica, a triggered magic circle, and once I died, this magic circle would be activated, and my body would completely shatter. Then Belica won't be able to save me in the same way!

Am I very smart~! It's finally rare to be smart!

……

"Hmm!" Belica suddenly felt a warmth in her body, and opened her eyes, the pitch-black ceiling was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Belica!" I called out softly to Belica.

Belica heard my call and turned her head to look at me, her big confused eyes as pretty as a hit.

"No...... Ya ...... "Belica gently handed over my name.

"Hmm!" I heard Belica call, revealing the silly white smile I had once had, and then, as my life dried up, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, and I placed a crystal ball on the ground, turning into a sky of stars and floating in the void.

――

"Belica, really, I like you the most!" (To be continued.) )
