"You said you can see the future?"
"yes."
Now Xiaolin is visiting Wiz's magic tool shop.
In "Zero", he was able to see someone's future and also knew the specific activation conditions. But why it can be seen is unknown.
So I thought of asking the senior in this field, that is, the great demon who can see through everything in the world, Barnier.
"Huhu, this is the first time for us to encounter such a situation."
"first?"
"Because our abilities are innate. People like you have different abilities obtained by chance, so we don't know the secrets. It would be better to say that you and I have different abilities."
"Are you in Versailles?"
Looking at the big devil with the II symbol on his head, even if he couldn't see his full expression, the raised corners of his mouth and the emotions in his words could tell that he was showing off.
I really want to punch him hard in the face!
"You want to punch me?"
"exactly!"
"Innocent."
Barnier took Xiaolin's punch lightly, as if he had expected it.
"In this way, you should understand the difference between us and you."
I didn't see the difference, but I could see the difference. Being able to use future vision at will, this Duke of Hell is really impressive.
"Don't you understand? Your future vision can only see other people, but I can see through everything in the world. This is the difference."
"This is called a gap in the human world."
"I see, I've learned a lesson."
It was really unpleasant to be shown off, but I also learned about the disadvantages of future vision. Is this considered compensation?
From the time I obtained [Five Sights and Omnipotence] to now, many magical abilities have been added, but I don't know if it's because of my poor foundation. No matter which ability it is, it has some shortcomings, which is really a headache.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Your abilities still have merit."
Seeing Xiaolin's melancholy, Barnier said: "My ability is not effective against people of similar strength, gods, and people hiding near gods. But that's not the case for you, right?"
This is also the reason why he never uses his powers on Aqua, because he can't see it at all.
"It's a bit off track, let's get back to the topic just now." Barnier interrupted Xiaolin's thoughts and said: "You want to ask why the eye's ability is unblocked, right? Then the conditions are probably met, right? .”
When he used Future Vision for the first time by chance, Xiaolin went to Barnier and asked why he couldn't use it again. Barnier told him that certain conditions were missing.
"My guess is that it's because the boy named Natsuki Subaru keeps reincarnating and breaking the boundaries."
He told Barnier everything that happened in "Zero", as well as Natsuki Subaru's ability to reincarnate infinitely.
Unlike that world where you would be killed if you spoke out, the jealous witch Satira couldn't reach here yet, so she explained it unscrupulously.
"As you said, that boy will erase the timeline he is in every time he reincarnates. In other words, he will only fix the timeline when he wants to. It is probably because he has reincarnated too many times that the boundaries have become thinner and easier to find. , so I let you take the opportunity to perceive the mystery of time and learn it. Of course, this is also our guess."
"I see."
The guess is inaccurate, but the premise is that it depends on whose mouth it comes from. At least the guess of the Duke of Hell, who has rich experience, should be similar.
Having said that, I really have to thank Natsuki Subaru.
"In addition, your ability should be more than this."
"Why do you say that."
"Your future vision should be similar to my clairvoyance. In this case, the ability should be similar. It is impossible to enter the sleep state every time it is activated. That should be a prerequisite for you to focus more. Presumably after the ability is activated, The future I want to see is too far away.”
"You mean, if you only look into the near future, you won't fall asleep?"
"exactly!"
The big devil snapped his fingers and was very satisfied with Xiaolin's quick thinking. Then, just when he was about to do the test, a person happened to come in outside the door.
Smooth long brown hair, a tall and full heart, and an apron that looks like a housewife.
"Hey, it's Mr. Xiaolin, welcome!"
"Wiz, long time no see."
The one who came back was the owner of the magic tool shop and the Lich Girl, Wiz, who is now one of the cadres of the Demon King's army.
Seeing the two people gathered together, Wiz asked curiously: "Xiao Lin and Mr. Barnier, what are you two doing?"
"We are talking..."
"It's just the shop owner! Just think of it as a free discount. Come and help test Xiaolin's ability."
Barnier made a not-so-good suggestion.
The Lich Girl tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Well, what's going on?"
"actually……"
Xiaolin took the initiative to explain the cause and effect to her.
Just when I was about to refuse because I didn't want to trouble the other party, I didn't expect that the kind-hearted Lich Girl agreed.
"Isn't that great! I'd be happy to help Mr. Xiaolin!"
"Is that okay, Wiz?"
"It doesn't matter. Besides, the experimental ability will not harm me, right Mr. Barnier."
"Of course, I can guarantee it!"
In this way, with Barnier's help and Wiz's kindness, Xiaolin got the target of the spell.
It's the target of the spell, not the target of the spell.
Make no mistake.
"What should I do specifically? Are there any actions or preparations I need to make?"
"Wiz just stands there."
After quick arrangements, the weak Lich Girl put her hands on her lower abdomen and stood there timidly. Xiao Lin stared blankly, and his pale face gradually turned rosy.
"Mr. Xiaolin, can you stop looking at me like that..."
"I'm sorry, because I really don't know what to do."
This is also an inevitable part of being a spellcasting target.
Looking for help, he cast his eyes on the big devil beside him, and then gradually found his feelings with his help.
According to Barnier, every time he uses his ability, it is injected into him all at once, so he falls into a deep sleep.
This is the brain's own protective mechanism.
The way to experiment is -
"Keep your breath and take your time. Test downward little by little. Can you feel it, the film that blocks you? You don't need to use so much force the first time. If there is a slight accumulation, just break through the film. The key lies in the contraction and contraction caused by breaking through the film. When rebounding, you must hold on and don’t use brute force. Moderate intensity is the key.”
Isn't that really what he was talking about?
Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.
I always feel that Barnier has something to point out.
"concentrated."
"yes."
He quickly gathered his mind, and then followed the steps to focus the magic power on the pattern on his forehead, and shrouded his [sight] on Wiz's body.
"Barnier, why are you so far away from me?"
"As soon as I saw the pattern on your forehead, I felt uncomfortable, so in order to restrain myself from taking action, I had to stay away from you."
"Hello……"
The pattern on the forehead is the emblem of the Axis Cult. It is understandable that the Duke from Hell is unhappy. He has never dealt with the goddess Aqua.
"Okay, let's continue."
Barnier continued to guide Xiaolin.
His words seemed to have special magic power, like... no, they were the whispers of a devil, and Xiao Lin was gradually immersed in them.
Soon, a different scene appeared in my mind.
"I saw it...I saw it!"
"What did you see?"
"Miss Weisz...she...is lying on the ground with her whole body charred and black?"
At the end of the story, Xiao Lin became less confident.
What's this?
Why was Wiz lying on the ground, and his whole body was charred, as if he had suffered a violent attack.
Did he fight with someone, or was he attacked by surprise?
But it is no exaggeration to say that Wiz ranks first in popularity among Axel. The gentle and weak Lich Girl will not argue with others at all, let alone break out into a fight, so who could it be?
Xiao Lin began to doubt the authenticity of what he saw.
The magic connection is broken.
After learning to control it, he did not enter deep sleep. It seemed like what Barnier said, he had not learned to restrain his brain before and entered self-protection.
"You have learned to control your power. As long as you use it more, you can tap out more potential."
"Now it seems that's true."
Xiao Lin also began to look forward to it.
The confusion in my heart was solved, and I even used my abilities more skillfully than before. It would be false to say that I was in a bad mood.
When you get back, you should treat those problem children as targets of spells.
"Speaking of which, where did Miss Wiz go just now?"
"Um! In fact, I just went to buy some goods! The violent magic potion, purification potion, strength potion and speed potion are all on sale this time! It will be a big seller, this thing will definitely be a big seller! Please believe it I!"
"……What did you say?"
Not only Xiaolin, but also Barnier's body was stiff at this time. Their necks were like rusty robots that had forgotten to apply lubricant. They turned their heads and looked at Wiz in disbelief.
However, the Lich Girl didn't know it and kept talking, with a proud expression on her face, as if she had gotten a big deal.
"Let me ask, how much did Miss Wiz spend on purchasing these potions?"
"2000W Eris."
"Stupid store manager!"
As soon as Wiz stretched out two fingers and said the astonishing number, a destructive light that could kill someone shot out from Barnier's eyes and hit Lich Girl's back, and Lich Girl suffered the impact. After screaming, he fell to the ground covered in darkness.
Well, the mystery is solved.
No wonder Wiz became so miserable, he just asked for it.
Xiao Lin covered his forehead.
In addition to the few problem children in his own family, Wiz is also a complete problem child.
The magic item shop doesn't make money, it's purely because she purchases goods randomly, and this situation has not improved even after Barnier's arrival, which is enough to show how extraordinary Wiz is.
"Didn't I warn you not to purchase goods randomly?! Why, why!!!"
Vanir angrily scolded the Lich Girl.
Apart from Aqua, who made him angry when she saw her, only Wiz could make him so angry.
There is really nothing he can do about the shopkeeper who refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.
He would buy some random things if he wasn't careful, but he couldn't keep his eyes on Wiz. What should he do?
You might as well break away and work alone. At least the progress bar for completing your ideal will fill up faster.
The Duke of Hell couldn't help but think so.
"You are miserable enough."
"Since you think we are miserable, how about you marry Wiz home as soon as possible? You don't mind if there is one more or one less, right?"
"Don't just sell her away casually. Besides, if you take her back, you will only be bullied by Aqua. Let's forget it."
Barnier's offer was very tempting.
It's a pity that Wiz didn't wake up to that aspect, otherwise her teammate wouldn't have been so disappointed that she married another teammate.
"That's it for today."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Lin took out a check with a huge amount written on it and handed it to Barnier.
"Here, promise the reward."
“Thank you for your patronage!”
The money-grubbing clerk took the check in a very gentlemanly manner.
If you want the Duke of Hell to answer your questions, you must at least offer qualified benefits in exchange. Talking about relationships with the devil is purely a joke.
Fortunately, Barnier loves money and has no resistance to other people's bribes with large amounts of money, so Xiaolin can buy the other person's time with money.
Things that can be settled with money are simple things.
At this time, the door of the magic tool was pushed open, making a pleasant bell sound.
"Welcome...what, it's you."
Barnier's enthusiasm was extinguished.
It turns out that the person who came in was not a guest, but Kazuma Sato.
"Senior Xiaolin, you're not feeling well yet?... Hey, what's going on?"
He was confused when he saw the Lich Girl, whose body was charred and lying on the ground. Xiaolin and Barnier sighed and told them what had just happened.
The three of them once again marveled at Wiz's extraordinary talent.
"So, what's next for you?"
"Actually, we are going to the hot springs."
The reason was that during the time when Kobayashi was away, Sato Kazuma and the others had been physically and mentally exhausted from doing tasks. Kobayashi also felt physically and mentally exhausted in the other world, so everyone wanted to go out to rest and relax to relieve their fatigue.
The location is Alcanretia, a hot spring city famous for its healing properties.
That is the headquarters of the Axis Cult.
"Senior Xiaolin, Aqua and the others are ready, let's go quickly!"
Kazuma Sato urged.
Are you a primary school student looking forward to going out for an outing?
Since last night, Aqua and the others have been extremely excited and noisy until dawn.
Now that Sato Kazuma is here, they are probably ready to go.
Really, the energy is too strong.
"It just so happens that the matter has been resolved. Let's go, Sato-kun."
"Wait a minute."
Just as the two were about to leave, they were stopped by Barnier.
They turned their heads and looked at him in unison.
"You said you were going to the hot spring, right? Then... bring her with you."
Vanir pointed at the burnt Lich Girl.
This guy must have thought that Wiz would cause trouble to him in the store, so he thought about asking Xiao Lin and the others to take Wiz away.
As a store clerk, he treated the store owner like this.
This is really...
"Senior Xiaolin, what should I do?"
"Since I've been asked, let's take her with us."
This is really great!
