"What?"
Xion looked surprised at Natsumi's question.
"Why do you suddenly say such things..."
"Okay, okay! Do you want to find something simple?"
"...You also have magic power, and anyone can use it as long as it's a simple thing."
"Then, it doesn't matter if you talk to Xion like this, right?!"
When Xion told Natsumi about the art of exorcising people, "Even if the existence of the art is known, humans will have no countermeasures, so there will be no problem."
In fact, for ordinary people, magic is an unknown territory that cannot be set foot in anyway.
In other words, if communication can be done using magic, then no one other than Xion and Natsumi, who has learned magic, can eavesdrop even on simple magic.
This is exactly what Natsumi describes as being too convenient.
"...This method will indeed not be discovered."
"But?"
"Do you want to talk to me that bad?"
"That, that's..."
Indeed, Natsumi wanted to talk to Xion and have a good relationship with him. I hate losing touch here.
But being asked this question by Theon himself, I felt a little embarrassed to answer it without any concealment.
"I don't want to talk to you, I just don't want it to end like this."
"Even remember the magic?"
"Yes! You must do this!"
In order to hide his shyness, his tone naturally became tougher, but Xion didn't seem to notice Natsumi's heart. Although it was a bit incredible, he still accepted Natsumi's answer.
"I understand. Magic will indeed not be discovered... maybe it will be of some use, and we can keep in touch in the future."
Then Theon clasped his hands together as if holding something. A ray of white light came from the gap between the joined hands.
"By the way, what color do you like?"
"Color? Yellow?"
"Yellow."
In this way, the previously white light will become yellow. After a few seconds, Xion released his clasped hands, and there was something like a yellow crystal there.
"What's this?"
"Concentrating magic power and making it material...it's probably a type of energy quartz."
"Can you make energy quartz?!"
"It's very simple if you just make it, but it takes a lot of time and effort to make something that can generate electricity. The one you're making now can't even use a flashlight."
"Then what do you do with it?"
I took the yellow crystal he handed over, but after hearing what he said, I didn't think it was of any use.
"It takes time to teach practical magic. The magic itself is sealed in the crystal."
"That is to say?"
"Hold the crystal, think of me, and say what you want to say, and I will understand."
"How about trying it during practice?" I was urged to hold the crystal tightly and concentrate.
"Ah, ah, miss, it's a sunny day today."
"It's dark outside at night, there should be no sunny weather."
Theon answered what came to his mind without moving his mouth, not so much hearing the sound as echoing directly in his mind.
"Wow! It really worked!"
"Ah, you have to pay attention to this. When you are not used to it, even thoughts that you don't want to express are easily understood. Please pay attention."
Indeed, the sentiments that he had just conveyed unintentionally were conveyed to Theon fiercely.
Be careful not to give away your thoughts.
In any case, in this way, Natsumi also ensured the means to get in touch with Xion in the future.
"Ah, but this crystal will fall if you're not careful."
"Then tie the rope."
As he spoke, Xion snapped his fingers, and with a "bang" sound, the crystal was surrounded by white smoke.
After the smoke dissipated, a hole opened in the crystal with a soft rope on it.
In this case, it can also be hung around the neck like a necklace.
"...Magic really has everything."
"Anything you can say is an exaggeration, but if you live a normal life, you can probably do it."
Xion said half-jokingly: "Cleaning, laundry, whatever." Natsumi smiled and picked up the crystal from her neck and put it into her clothes.
"Then I'll go back first. If someone sees the two of us walking together, we'll be in trouble."
"Yes. Ah, there is also communication using magic. I probably won't take the initiative. You can do it at that time."
"It won't be very busy, right?"
"You must be busier than me at the helm, and there won't be any cell phone ringing. Are you confident that you won't be startled when I call you suddenly?"
This method of communication makes it feel like the sound can be transmitted directly to the brain.
Unlike mobile phone terminals, there is no ringtone, so if there is a sudden sound like Theon said, there may be a strange reaction.
It's okay when you're alone, but if you're in front of others, you might be suspicious.
"Yeah. Then I'll contact you... basically at night."
"Um."
"Good night then."
"Ah, good night."
After saying "good night" to each other, Natsumi left the observation room.
Although it was just a small thing, Natsumi was in a good mood.
Although it was my own fault, I had another casual conversation with Xion who I passed by.
Although it is difficult to meet each other, we can still talk in the future.
Natsumi was in a happy mood as she tried to find a way to reconnect with her that was about to be lost.
"It seemed like a good dream."
Natsumi smiled softly and walked to her room with brisk steps.
"The combat target is a group of dark clouds on the front. The total number of reactions for small and medium-sized objects is fourteen."
The voice of Gaoyang Inagawa, a male employee on the bridge, came from the cockpit of "The Rising Sun News".
Theon listened and leisurely prepared for departure.
Response to the presence of an intruder incidentally perceived during movement to the next point.
He immediately issued an emergency attack order to the mobile armor pilots, including Xion, but this time the targets did not seem to be wearing contact lenses.
Encounters with invaders whose reactions can be tracked even feel somewhat nostalgic since the battle on the artificial island.
"The goal of the operation is to quickly annihilate the Luck of Security. However, Theon, please stand by around Mistorstan after you attack."
"Huh? Don't you need to attack?"
He planned to launch an assault with "morning" maneuverability as usual, so Anna's instructions were completely unexpected.
"You're not invisible this time, are you? There's no need to force you out."
Theon took action because only Theon could accurately capture the invisible intruder.
That said, there's no need to use Theon if the invader isn't invisible.
"dissatisfied?"
"No, no, if I don't have a job, I hope it can happen. If possible, I hope it can be normalized as soon as possible."
"I knew you would say that. But just in case, you still have to stay alert."
The number that can currently be seen visually is consistent with the number of reactions captured by the sensor, but invisible individuals may also appear later.
Simply put, Theon's job this time was as a sensor for surprise attacks.
"Then, the mobile armor unit will annihilate the invaders as mentioned at the beginning. ... Finally, we have a chance to fight in a fully prepared state. Even if it is just to test the performance, please give it your best."
"'yes!'"
After Halma, Lina, and Les gave clear answers, four mobile armors, including "Alut", attacked.
(Is this the first time to take a closer look...)
Theon, who started to stand by around "Miststan" according to Anna's instructions, looked at the three mobile armors flying towards Annie and others from behind.
The red "saber" is Chunma's landline, the dark green one is Lina's landline, and the blue one is Les's landline.
All of this is the same as the "Alato" driven by Sean, which is an EC drive-equipped machine.
For Theon, a technician and magician, the hybrid EC-driven mobile armor that combines human science and extrahuman powers, including "Alert", is very interesting, but he has not had the opportunity to observe it carefully so far and has benefited from it.
If Misty found out about staring at me, I would be mistaken for a spy and cause a commotion. Besides, I couldn't stay in the hangar to avoid Technical Class 13.
"The basic shape is similar to that of an assault. It seems to be distinguished by weapons and some equipment."
For example, the "Asahi" has larger thrusters than the other three, but its armament is weak.
Because the development concept is high-mobility chaos, it has such a design, but similarly, the other three aircraft also have their own personalities.
