Reincarnation Band Magician

As she thought about it, what had just happened came to her mind.

Qing kept getting closer to her, but her magical perception was unable to detect him.

Even if I was distracted by playing the violin.

Qing is still like this. If that demon wants to kill her one day... she will be just like when she first arrived here, without any ability to fight back.

It certainly feels bad enough.

Shoko Toyokawa raised her wand and pointed the tip of her umbrella at the bushes.

"Zoltraak—"

The strong wind lifted the hair, and the dark beam of light penetrated the trees, blasting out a gap of dozens of meters.

"Squeak-"

"Boom!"

Trees that lost their lower halves fell one after another.

"call……"

So cool.

Wait, it seems like I have completely forgotten my teammates' instructions.

Looking at the tree trunk in front of her that had disappeared by more than one-third, Toyokawa Shoko fell silent.

……

There was a roar in the distance.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi was sawing wood - his hand that was bowing the violin paused.

Sure enough, no one listened to him.

Forget it, Xiangzi seems to be under a lot of pressure, so let her be.

"咚咚-"

"Please come in."

The door is the magic of Ate.

"clear--"

Aite used her eyes to convey that she didn't want to listen anymore.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi nodded obediently and removed the strengthening magic attached to the violin.

It's his exercise technique - and way to let off steam.

After being called out, I practiced normally for a while.

Feeling a little sore in his neck, he put the piano back into its case and went to prepare dinner.

Walk to the kitchen.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi was thinking about recent events.

In fact, he himself does not feel any pressure.

Taking care of everyone and getting feedback every day makes him feel calm and gentle, and this family feeling is very pleasant.

in case……

He opened the cupboard.

"Lord Solitaire, please move aside. I need sugar."

It would be nice if she wasn't here.

The petite demon came out holding onto the cabinet door and stretched her body.

"How long did it take?"

"I haven't lost any sense. It's only a few meters after all."

Solitaire shook her hair, and the smile on her face was like a sticker, with little change over the past few months.

She praised him, "Your perception is excellent. If your magic power grows faster, you might be able to challenge me in your lifetime."

Nagasaki Qing nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for the compliment."

This can hardly be called a compliment. After all, "if" is usually followed by conditions that are not met.

After the initial period, the growth rate of Nagasaki Kiyoshi's magic power became very slow.

This situation does exist. Some physiques find it difficult to accommodate more magic power, and the first time they come into contact with it, it is almost the upper limit.

Now, Nagasaki Kiyoshi's magic power is only slightly more than Toyokawa Shoko's, and it won't be long before he is overtaken.

Judging only by magic power, his future achievements will not be much higher than that of Aite.

But there is still a technological gap.

Solitaire believes that Nagasaki Kiyoshi is excellent in other aspects, and if he were to be placed outside, he might be able to leave his name in history.

Alternatively, he could be a demon who could slowly refine and accumulate magic power over a long period of time.

neither.

This also made Solitaire relax a little.

If she had grown up normally, she would probably have considered ending this pleasant time together within ten years.

You can keep a kitten for twenty years, but as for a tiger, you need to be careful when approaching it after a few months.

A cautious person will not live in the same house with wild animals.

In the Cage: 27, The Shell

Solitaire walked out of the kitchen, looking forward to the smell of dinner.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi quietly began to cut the ingredients.

In his senses, Solitaire was still outside the door.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi deliberately concealed the limits of his perception.

He is lying.

For some reason, he felt that he was getting better and better at this recently. Whether it was his tone or expression, they were all like mud, which could be kneaded at will.

There might be some emotional deficiencies, but the demons who don't understand humans would never be able to tell.

At least for now, this is what he needs. He needs to be more skilled at this than the demons who are good at deception.

The other person was looking at him.

So, there can't be anything unnatural, from the movements to the emotions.

He's been doing that these days.

Magic power flowed quietly around the body, with almost no visible fluctuations, which was very normal.

And under this quiet flow, Nagasaki Kiyoshi had to suppress the urge to run at all times, like leading a wild horse.

He didn't know if it made sense to do this, whether there would be a day when he couldn't hide it anymore... This was the only thing he could do now.

Just as Xiangzi hides her magic, he also hides his magic.

Two months ago, the evolution was brewing, and I don’t know how many times it had “moved”, but it couldn’t wait to come out through the thin eggshell.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi had no idea what would hatch from the shell.

He only knew one thing:

not now.

Keep going like this and hide it better.

Now Solitier has not begun to understand their past, because in her opinion, half a year is just the "adaptation period" for the kittens and puppies to come to the house.

Once she becomes interested, she will talk to them continuously to satisfy her curiosity, constantly observe, think and understand, and spend decades to get to know them.

Hopefully, when they tear off this false disguise of warmth, they will have enough strength to change and won't actually become pets.

……

Because I had more tasks to do, the time to go back to my room and sleep was postponed by about an hour.

Xiangzi and Aite took turns teaching Solitaire various musical instruments. She had a strong learning ability and her control over her body was unmatched by humans.

Despite having no experience with any musical instrument, his learning progress in two months was much faster than that of Nagasaki Kiyoshi.

The only flaw is: an inability to empathize with humans.

The three of them had no way of evaluating the music she played beyond her technique, but perhaps the demons could hear her emotions.

"That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work."

Solitaire rose from the piano, looking quite happy, the joy in her voice more genuine than usual.

During this period of time together, they corrected the impression that "demons have no emotions."

Actually, they do exist, but they just can’t empathize with humans.

I can't understand, and I won't try to understand.

Shoko Toyokawa raised her hand to wipe her face and a handkerchief was handed to her.

"Thank you."

Took the handkerchief from his teammate.

During the evening sessions, Nagasaki Kiyoshi would sit aside and read, or practice other musical instruments.

The young lady wiped the sweat off her face and took a deep breath.

She always gets subconsciously nervous when she's too close to Solitaire.

The same is true for Aite. She understands the concept of demons better than Toyokawa Shoko, so she is more afraid.

"The hot water is ready, go take a shower."

"Very good……"

Toyokawa Shoko sometimes feels weak, always letting Qing face Solitude alone.

The two discussed this issue.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi said that everyone has his or her strengths, and he believed that when the time came, Xiangzi would not lack courage.

Xiangzi glanced at his teammates, used magic to help carry the cradle, and went upstairs.

Nagasaki Kiyonori came over to discuss winter supplies with Solitaire.

"Winter in the north is indeed like this. Without protection against the cold, even demons will freeze to death."

The demons' logistics...are no match for humans. Most of the time, they rely on magic power to keep warm. Once their magic power is exhausted, they will die from the low temperature.

The Empire and the Northern Kingdoms sometimes counter-intuitively use winter to launch attacks because the demons are weaker during this season.

However, once humans are injured, it is difficult for them to return to the rear.

It is a cruel decision that can only be made after giving up all hope.

In this land, it is the harsh winter that kills the most people.

Solitaire was lost in thought as she recalled the snow covered in bright red.

"Well, where were we just now?"

"Going out for shopping."

"Permission granted. This time... you will come with me."

Solitaire's interest suddenly piqued, and she felt a sense of pride that she could take her pet out for a walk and show off.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi was silent for a moment, "Could they be attacking humans and plundering their supplies?"

"Autumn is very dangerous. Many powerful humans will become active. Launching an attack is a good decision, but I personally will not fall into such danger."

She put her fingers together and put her thumbs together, making a triangle.
