At least Theon intended to end the topic there, but Ajit looked embarrassed and remained silent.
Xion tilted his head inwardly, wondering if there was any topic in the conversation so far that would make the atmosphere so heavy, but Ajid did not notice Xion's appearance at all.
I couldn't leave without asking for the other person's consent, so in order not to disturb him, I took a sip of coffee silently.
After two or three minutes, Aki spoke.
"Istar, what do you think about teaching us magic?"
"What?"
"Magic is a powerful advantage you have...especially a trump card when fighting and negotiating with human armies. Can you tell us without any hesitation?"
"...I am asking this question so late."
This should be said by someone who learns knowledge or practical skills every two or three days, but Ajid looked serious.
He judged that although it would be easy to excuse him with a joke, doing so would create unnecessary suspicion and make Theon more troublesome.
“I have no qualms about teaching.”
"Are you obviously showing off your trump card?"
"Well...just tell him a little, there is no threat to him."
The act of teaching magic will indeed allow people to see the cards in Xion's hand.
However, even if he is seen, it will not pose a threat to Theon.
After all, what Xion teaches is at a basic level. Starting from the basics and then teaching more advanced knowledge, ordinary people don't know what they can do.
"Even if the captain gained the same knowledge as me...the original output would be too different."
Even if Ajit wanted to kill Theon using the knowledge Theon gave him, he could easily reverse it.
The act of teaching magic among Theon is just a common perception of "a children's classroom for professional athletes."
As a matter of fact, there is a huge gap between the magical power of Xion and Ajid, which is greater than that of adults and children, and no method can make up for it.
"No matter how he teaches, he will never become an enemy. So, I don't feel uncomfortable at all about teaching. That's my answer."
"...You are so confident."
"It's not confidence, it's facts."
It’s not about being complacent, it’s actually like this, so it doesn’t mean anything better or lower than this.
From Theon's indifferent attitude, this idea seemed to be fully conveyed to Ajid.
"Looking at how you look like this, I think the lady is probably the same."
The same is true for The Magic Flute. The Mirandas not only provided a large number of enchanted weapons, but also required them to use them at will.
They see no problem in leaking knowledge about magic even to human armies who are as important as Theon or even more important than Theon.
Xion had no objection to Ajid's idea.
Without receiving a reply from Theon, Ajit became more convinced of his thoughts.
Then he lowered his eyes slightly again and thought deeply. After about dozens of seconds, he turned his eyes to Xion again.
"The Witch Grocery Store gives us the impression that they are more helpful to us than you are. Rather than answering questions like this, it's better to say that they are proactive in making suggestions."
"This...I feel a little bit about it too."
In the case of Amazon, Miranda gave me the impression that rather than providing the ordered goods indifferently, she was more actively promoting information and supplies from there.
Theon was also a little confused by this fact.
"The original idea of letting the human army be responsible for fighting is very strange. In addition to the 'Wandering Sword' and the 'Gladiator's Banquet', she should also know many people who specialize in fighting."
It should be easier to rely on these stranger friends than to rely on human armies that lack knowledge and are hostile to outsiders.
Why should the human army provide free supplies?
The person who informed the incident was Xion, who was assisting the human army. This reason alone was obviously weak.
There should be some reason at least in her mind, but even Theon, who has had some interactions with Miranda, still doesn't understand her intentions.
"Should I think there is some secret in it?"
"...There must be something. However, it may not be an inside story."
For her who has lived for more than a thousand years, she can do many things with her powerful magic and a lot of knowledge. Many things are just trivial things that don't matter how she falls.
Therefore, there may be silly reasons like "I just thought of it" or "It seemed interesting."
Speaking of other things that Theon can think of, in addition to people, humans may also become customers of the Witch Grocery Store to expand the market.
Although Theon couldn't have predicted it, one thing was clear.
"At least, you have no intention of harming the human army, right?"
"What's the basis?"
"If there was such a plan, it would have been done a long time ago."
If Miranda really wanted to cause losses to the human army, things would be simple...
With countless witches, she can not only kill a large number of humans with curses, but also use magic to turn people into dolls and capture them from the inside.
There is no need for cooperation or a strategy of providing materials to make the other party relax their guard.
Therefore, it can be assumed that Miranda has no intention of fighting the human army.
"As long as Miranda is willing, the human army will be easily defeated." I originally thought Ajid would refute this, but he did not say it.
"I know what I said is outrageous, but don't you have any rebuttal?"
“… Indeed, not so long ago, I wouldn’t have believed it, but now I’ve witnessed a lot of it.”
"Yeah?"
"For example, a few days ago, a large amount of supplies were transported instantly from the hangar... If explosives were sent into the center using that method, it would be a big blow."
Once what Ajit imagined happened, the human army would be unable to deal with it.
Precisely because he understood this, Ajit would frankly accept Xion’s words.
As the erratic conversation continued, he noticed that the electronic watch showed a rather late time.
The atmosphere and time are not good to talk about other topics now.
Xiaojing had the same idea, so today’s lecture ends here.
"...Ishtar, can I ask you a question?"
When he was standing in front of the door and wanted to leave the room, he heard someone talking. When he looked back, Xiaojing was sitting on a chair looking up.
"If you are serious, can you win the Mist even without the Rising Sun News?"
Theon was a little surprised by this abrupt question, and then smiled slightly.
"It's so annoying~ I won't do that."
Sheen answered cheerfully with a smile, said "good night" to Aki who said no more, and left the room.
"You won't say...I can't do it..."
Just before the door closed automatically, Xion said nothing when he heard Ajit's whisper.
"Mist" crossed from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and arrived safely in Yadong.
At least there was no misfortune at sea and it was a peaceful journey, but now a sharp alarm sounded inside the ship.
"Lower the alert level and then take off in less than ten minutes. What's going on!"
"If you have an opinion, just say it."
"Yes!"
While chatting with Anna, I prepared myself for the "morning" attack.
"There were many similar reactions in northern Egypt, near the border with Israel. Although there were also local troops, this time it was our troops who were closest to them."
"Aren't we guests at the ceremony?"
"There are still a few days until the ceremony, and we are already a human army before then. Do you have any objection to this?"
The other party responded readily, leaving Theon no room for retort.
He simply stated that he had no objections and returned to prepare for the attack.
"There are more than twenty small and medium-sized ones in total, and they seem to be slightly faster-moving individuals."
"...It will be troublesome if it is dispersed in all directions. The mobile armored troops will attack immediately, narrow the target and start attacking immediately. There is no need to wait for the ship to arrive."
Following Ajid's instructions, the "Asart" driven by Xion immediately took off from the ship.
"It's like a speed contest, it can fly!"
"Morning" suddenly accelerated and was the first to reach the target.
Haruma and the others would often get angry if a single machine went first, but this time it was necessary to seize the time as part of the battle plan, so they didn't say anything special.
He flew away from the "Mist Stan" and other mobile armors for a few minutes, and sensed the aura of the intruder in question earlier than the sensors.
