My Daughter Grew Up to “Rank S” Adventurer - Chapter 60.4
Hi, everybody. I have recently started a new novel called I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History. You can read it HERE.
“She’s not wrong, either. But in this guy’s case, the goal for him is to be able to handle his own magic better.”
Qasim patted Byaku on the head, causing Byaku to raise an eyebrow.
“It’s good to be able to fight hard, but it’s also important to face your inner self. I’m uncertain if I’d be able to do that if I were you. Once you have a proper grasp of your own form, you won’t be interrupted by interference from the formless any more than necessary.”
“I see… I will try it too.”
Miriam quickly took off her shoes and stood with both feet together.
“Ugh, feeling my feet. I should start with the shape of my feet.”
“Yes. Do you know exactly how you’re standing?”
“Hmm…”
Miriam stood there for a while with her eyes closed.
“It’s surprisingly difficult. The outline of the feet is more vague than I thought.”
“Well, Millie, you’re an expert now, so just try to trace the outline of the form of your feet with your magic. You’ll be able to do it in no time.”
Miriam did as she was told, closing her eyes and letting the magic flow through her body, tracing her toes and heels. As she did so, the previously vague shape of her feet became clearer, and she could feel which part of her soles was on the floor. A sigh escaped her lips.
“Oh!”
“You seem to have figured it out. By the time you can clearly see that without being conscious of it, you’ll be able to move the magic around in your body pretty well.”
“So that’s why Uncle Qasim is always barefoot, isn’t it?”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up. Even in this cold weather, Qasim was always barefoot. He’s been wearing sandals lately, but she has never seen him with socks on, let alone shoes.
Qasim scratched his head, looking bummed.
“No… I’m just stubborn. I’ve coated my body with magic, so I’m insensitive to heat and cold.”
“I think it’s pretty remarkable that you can do that…”
Miriam said in a vague voice that sounded both dumbfounded and impressed.
Through the practice of accurately grasping the outline of his own body, Qasim seemed to have acquired the ability to constantly coat his body with magical power, like a thin film.
Indeed, such detailed control of magic power is impossible without a proper grasp of the shape of the object. Miriam was impressed by the power of the great magician in front of her.
Charlotte patted herself on the cheek and pouted.
“I’m going to work hard and get Father’s praise!”
“I’ll work hard too. Maybe I can be one level further.”
Charlotte and Miriam stood side by side and closed their eyes.
Qasim gave a small laugh, then glanced at Byaku, who stood silently for a long time with his eyes closed. He didn’t move, just repeated his breathing quietly.
Qasim stroked his beard admiringly. He could see the flow of magical power surrounding Byaku in his eyes.
Byaku’s eyebrows twitched.
The flow of magic changed, and his hair began to turn black from the tips.
Qasim reached out and placed a hand on Byaku’s shoulder.
“Wake up!”
A small jolt came from Qasim’s hand, and Byaku opened his eyes in surprise. His nearly dyed hair had turned white again.
Byaku looked at the palm of his hand with a dubious look on his face, squeezing and opening it.
“… I am.”
“Pulled, huh? You should be aware of your body’s outline. The Demon Lord’s shape won’t do it.”
“Ugh…”
Byaku shook his head in frustration and looked at Qasim.
“…Do I even exist?”
“You’re there, aren’t you?”
“No, I’m not. You knew… You’ve been hanging out with people just like them, haven’t you?”
Qasim shrugged.
“Let’s talk about that some other time. It’s not a topic we can just talk about in public.”
“…Okay.”
Byaku furrowed his brow and closed his eyes again. He took a deep breath and breathed regularly.
Qasim yawned and watched the three of them meditate.
