Kanna no Kanna Volume 3 Chapter 29.1 Interlude 2

TL : sairennohebi

Around the time Kanna was taking Faima’s outdoor lesson and getting beat up by Agat.

three weeks have pa.s.sed since Kanna’s friends were summoned to this world.

“Da.s.shaaaa”

“Aaaaah!!! ”

Misaki shoots a tornado kick which Yuzuki stops. Though she raised a voice that shouldn’t come from a girl, there was no one there to make the retort .

Anyway, I shall explain since the situation is advancing a little too fast.

Un? who’s this narrator. you ask? Just don’t bother with the small details. I’m more or less a personality created by the author of this story. At least, I’m not something like a G.o.d watching over earth and I’m unrelated to the idiot in this world. Just keep in mind that I might make an appearance whenever the story isn’t centered around the protagonist.

Back to topic.

As Misaki and Ayana had guessed, the kingdom wasn’t stupid enough to immediately send them to war. Weird enough, the princess who summoned them even knew they came from a peaceful world.

Well, that aside.

Yuzuki and Misaki had borrowed the training grounds and are now doing a mock battle.

“Hold on, Misaki-san?? don’t you think a girl shouldn’t raise such voices?——?!!”

“don’t you put in ——— unneeded quips”

Misaki’s heel drop flies towards Yuzuki even as he evades it.

A great blast blows the ground to pieces.

Even if it was a move she she favors that could actually shatter the ground, making rocks fly, as expected, was no longer a human feat.

Looking at her, she was wearing Short pants and a T-s.h.i.+rt prepared by the servants. Both of the best quality with high defensive capabilities. The two arm-guards that cover from her elbows to her fingertips give her an increase in defenses and blunt attacks power.

What drew the most attention were the leg-guards that clearly deviate from the norm. The part covering until below her knees was obviously much bigger that the rest. Although it holds quite the weigh that posed no challenge for Misaki. But as a weapon it was unbalanced to say the least.

Well, the increase in fire-power might have been it’s selling point.

“Oops”

“there’s still more where that came from, you know!!”

Receiving the blast of the explosion Yuzuki broke his balance. Not overlooking the chance Misaki taps the ground with her left leg-guard activating a magic formation. A magic formula appears on the ground followed by another big explosion.

—The first thing the three were thought when they came to this world was their magic powers values and their magic elements. Due to the precedence called Kanna the court magicians were quite anxious at first, but that too vanished soon enough.  All three summoned students were talented enough to be called ‘The hero’.

Misaki showed talent for offensive fire magic and a magic pool many times the size of a court magician. though she still couldn’t use anything complicated and is incapable of shooting her magic long ranged attack.

though the firepower of fire magic is nothing to scoff at one must always consider the risk of self injury when producing such explosions.

Yet Misaki managed to find a method to make use of even that.

That method being———

“Oorryaaaa!!!”

The blast yet again shaves the earth off. Blowing Misaki’s body, using the shock to accelerate she charges in.

That is right,those huge leg-guards weren’t for adding to her defense or firepower.their true worth lies in dampening the impact of the explosion.Possibly because she had trained in martial arts while on earth, this way of fighting greatly suited her.

Since she’s only using simple magic it doesn’t require much time to activate.

Misaki continued closing in on the fleeing Yuzuki.

Normally one will be unable to handle the force from the acceleration and lose their balance at some point. But then again footwork happened to be Misaki’s area of expertise. She had already gotten used to her new way of fighting.

For a while, the scene of Yuzuki running away and Misaki pursuing him could be seen in the training grounds.

“The magic item of Misaki-san seems to be in a good condition. For now I guess it’s fine to keep it as it is.”

The one who muttered that was Ayana who was spectating the fight from a distance.

Ayana’s magic power surpa.s.ses that of Misaki by a half. Just that makes her enough of a genius yet she even possesses the superior attribute『Origin』.

『Origin』is an attribute that interferes with the const.i.tution of inorganic matters on a molecular level. The majority of those specializing in this magic are called ‘alchemists’. In short it’s the the beansprout’s, the same ability that fuses and creates a bunch of things as the shorty whose arm and leg are machine parts. The example is too hard? h.e.l.l if I know.

As if that wasn’t enough Ayana was actually smart enough to come out on top on national tests. That’s why in a mere half month she managed to master The knowledge and skills that take the normal person four years to acquire. Though part of it was just 『Origin』being compatible with earth’s science.

It was at that time that a problem turned up with Misaki’s magic. She couldn’t use long range attacks. The instant she activates her magic it blows up

Just when she decided to give up on magic and focus on her forte, close quarter combat, through the intervention of  Ayana they reached the conclusion that if she can’t shoot her magic she should just punch with it.

——— Clearly the influence of Kanna

And so It came to Ayana making her a weapon that makes use of that factor. Living up to her t.i.tle of genius she finished the process much faster that her peers would and the result was those leg-guards, enabling the usage of fire magic in melee combat.

Of course, Ayana was also developing a weapon of her own.

As for ⌈mister protagonist⌋ (Kanna’s naming sense)

“Kuh……….,I won’t let this be so one sided!!”

Having finally escaped the barrage of explosive fists Yuzuki goes for the attack.

Speaking of which. The equipment of Yuzuki consisted of an armor of the highest quality and a well-ornamented b.a.s.t.a.r.d sword. A s.h.i.+eld in his left hand, the so called buckler. It was the general knight’s attire.

Surrounded in flashy equipment he really looked the part of a ‘Hero’. But that didn’t stop at his appearance.

“Magic formation deployment complete!!Body reinforcement magic『overdrive』 activate !!”

The magic formation’s light appears on the left hand of Yuzuki. Who then swings it down on himself. The light which got absorbed into his body grew more intense.

“Ooooooooh!!”

A strong wind dances around.

“———Wa?! I didn’t make it!!”

“From this point on is my turn. Here I come Misaki-san!”

Leaving a small crater behind, Yuzuki closed in with overwhelming speed and swung his sword. Having somehow managed to receive the blow Misaki got blown away.

Though she danced in the air, Misaki quickly recovers her balance. But Yuzuki didn’t miss that small opening.

“Youuuuuuuuuu!!”

Driven by anger, Misaki Releases an exploding kick.

Having predicted that, Yuzuki dodged with the least movement.

A bit fl.u.s.tered, Misaki returned her leg. But what awaited her when she turned around was the sight of Yuzuki thrusting a sword to her neck.

“…………I guess this is my loss”

“…………..It’s my win”

The frustrated Misaki and Yuzuki with a wry smile on his face. The match was decided.

—— Yuzuki’s magic power value is more than ten times that of the court magician.  Unfortunately because they couldn’t measure up his total amount it remains unknown how much magic power he really has.

Just that makes him absurd enough. And yet he even could use the legendary ⌈light⌋ attribute. An element of which the number of users in all history can be counted on one hand.

The element is actually so much of a mystery that the only ⌈light⌋ spell the castle people knew of was that『overdrive』.

Although similar spells exist such as the fire attribute’s “Agility boost” or the earth attribute’s “stamina boost” etc. Magicians will suffer extreme pain once the effects of those run out.

That is where the magnificence of light magic comes into view. Not only does 『overdrive』boost all stats it also doesn’t have any recoil on the body.

Even so it’s not like it’s without disadvantages, since the magic formula is quite complicated it takes time to activate. Add to that the humongous amount of magic power it eats up.

In short it’s precisely because it’s Yuzuki that he can use it like it’s nothing.

Having made sure of his victory, Yuzuki took a deep breath and Misaki moved away.

“I always think so but,  you really use quite the cheat spell.  you’re already troublesome enough without it. Yet the moment you activated it the winner was decided.”

“Well, I can’t use anything else after all. If you ask me, your stable way of fighting is much more attractive. Not to mention that is actually my trump card, I’ll be troubled if it doesn’t decide things.”

” Is this the so called winner’s composure? you’re kinda annoying so, Won’t you let me punch you once?”

“Hii…..please spare me that.”

Yuzuki displays his good for nothingness.

Misaki thinks ‘Just how weak of a mind do you have ‘ as she drops her fist. The saddest part was that she lost to such a good for nothing though.

“Good work out there both of you. Here you go.”

“Thanks Ayana.”

“Thank you very much, Ayansan.”

The two wipe their sweat with the towels they received from Ayana.

“So Misaki-san, is there any problem with the leg -guards I made?”

“It’s become easier to use compared to the first article. But it felt like the force of the explosion is kinda lost in the process. It’s weaker than the image I have.”

“Won’t it become hard to control if the explosion is too strong?”

“I’ll handle that myself so don’t worry about it becoming too strong. Also it’s kinda lacking in weigh so my kicks come out a little too light and I easily lose control of the explosion.”

“Understood. I guess I better topple with the materials and shape, leaving the design as is.”

“It might be weird coming from me but, what about your personal weapon? You haven’t even shown it to me yet.”

“there is no need for concern as I’ll make it along with yours.”

“I see, you can just leave mine for later, you know?”

“Though I’m thankful you worry about me, unlike you two I don’t really like fighting so it’s only at times like this that I get to s.h.i.+ne.”

“Well, just don’t push yourself, OK?”

“I got it.”

Ayana give a thumbs up. Though she looks like a small animal, she was quite the reliable girl.

“How about Yuzuki-kun. Is there no problem with your equipment.”

“there is no problem………Maybe?”

“Why is it a question?”

“Well until now I’ve used wooden swords and the like countless times but I’ve never handled a real sword. It even feels weird to be able to use it so easily.”

Looking at his sword handling, Yuzuki had already mastered his new weapon.

“W~ell,…………It’s Yuzuki-kun after all.”

“It’s Yuzuki after all.”

“Aren’t you two kinda mean for getting convinced with just that?”

“”It’s Yuzuki(-kun) after all.””

Yuzuki dropped his shoulders at the answer that came back.

The boy named Yuzuki was just that sort of existence. whatever he tries he’ll master it in little time to a degree that leaves experts in the dust.

And that applies even to magic. Simply by reading the records in the castle he managed to acquire that “overdrive” spell.

furthermore, although it increases one’s physical ability, that spell doesn’t interfere with the perception. In short, it’s like the common car you were riding suddenly turned into an F1. A normal person  can’t handle that. Yet he mastared it in less than a week.

whether here or on Earth he was a ma.s.s of talent. A prodigy.

Simply put he’s the polar opposite of the all-incompetent Kanna.

G.o.d’s most beloved child, so to say.

It won’t be long before his name resounds through the whole world.

I’ll just say this but as the narrator of this story, I’m completly neutral towards characters.

Anyway.

The sound of clapping resounded across the training grounds.

“You three are truly worthy of the hero t.i.tle, there might no longer be a peer of you in this castle.”

turning towards the source of the sound there was a sparkling woman. As if she personalized the image of a princess. A super beautiful girl.

Said super beautiful girl was the second princess of this human kingdom of “Yurufilia” and the one responsible for summoning the three. Her s.h.i.+tness highness Firias ēdel yurufilia.

“Ah, princess Firias.”

“How mean of you Yuzuki-sama, didn’t I already tell you to call me ‘Fii’.”

“Th-That’s right, you did say that Fii. So, did you need something from us.”

“-Can’t I meet our heroes unless I have business with them, I wonder?”

“No such thing! it makes me happy that you came to see us!”

“For getting to meet Yuzuki-sama, I’m happy as well.”

“S,stop saying embarra.s.sing things……………….”

Misaki and Ayana kept sending painful gazes to Yuzuki whose face loosened up with the coming of Firias.

It’s not like they were feeling jealous or have romantic feelings for Yuzuki. Nevertheless their eyes were cold.

((he’s so easy))

Even I (Narrator) think so.

The funny part is that both of them returned  their expressions to normal the moment Firias turned her gaze to them. As if to say they don’t think much of her.

—— Again the influence of Kanna.

“Misaki-sama and Ayansama, how have you been?”

“Well, I’m more or less in a good mood, especially with the leg-guards Ayana made being in a good condition.”

“It’s good that Misaki-san likes them. Fii-san, thank you for providing me the materials.”

“It’s my pleasure to be able to help our heroes.”

Towards he bright smile of Firias, capable of taking down even women. The two  girls try to make the most natural smiles they could.

from preparing materials and equipment to taking care of their daily needs and  even readying a training ground. Just by the looks of things, the princess had actually done so much for theme

Well, that much is obvious after you summoned someone and told them to fight for you in all selfishness. And Firias herself admitted that.

Actually, Yuzuki had completely fallen for her. Well that probably can’t be helped. A top cla.s.s beauty with the princess attribute. Any normal man would fall. Even a girl will have opened up to due to that kind and n.o.ble conduct of hers. Nevertheless Ayana and Misaki still refuse to let their guard down around Firias.

It’s not like they  they’re doubting her, But every time they try to believe in her their hearts start ringing an alarm. And they remember the face of a certain boy.

Hence they doubt her.

Whatever support she’s offering they will take.

But if their fears turned true Then they run away asap.

“Now then, I actually have something to tell you but, may I?”

“W, what could it be? Don’t tell me we’re finally leaving for an adventure!”

“No,-that’s not it. I simply thought it was about time to have you build up some experience.”

“…………….When you say experience you mean to  say we have to fight magic beasts, right?”

“It is as you say, Misaki-san, in a few days I’d like to ask everyone to do magic beast subjugation around the capital.”

The three heroes start feeling pressure after hearing Firias’s serious declaration. Sounds of gulping can be heard.

Up to now the three of them have mostly done mock battles with the soldiers of the castle. Of course they were no holds barred fights. And since professional healing magicians exist in the castle the worry of injuries was a needless one.

But the outskirts of the capital is a place where the rules of the humans don’t mean a thing. In short, might makes right. No matter how talented they were a single mistake can cost one’s life.

“I swear on my Yurufiria name, you’ll be accompanied by the best of healing magicians. however, as expected, you have to do the fighting yourselves.”

“……………I guess that’s a given. In the end, we’ll have to go  on an adventure on our own after all. either way, it’s helpful to have experienced people come along on our first time.”

“though it sounds like a scary talk, there’s totally no need to be that concerned. Both the adventurer guild and the castle soldiers clear the area every now and then so there won’t be any strong magic beasts around. It will be a piece of cake with everyone’s abilities.”

It goes without saying for Yuzuki and Misaki but even Ayana who doesn’t like fighting much achieved victory against the castle soldiers. If the magic beasts are weaker than those castle soldiers, then they should be fine.

“however, if your opponent is so weak it won’t be much of a learning experience. More than that, there was a place I’d like you to visit. It probably contains magic beasts strong enough to become your learning material.”

“Well, I concur that the best way to get used to real battle is by fighting strong foes. So, where exactly do you want us to go?” (Misaki)

Fiaris puts a hand to her chest, takes a deep breath and opens her mouth.

“A day’s distance from this capital by carriage. there is a mountain where the『demon G.o.d』that once rampaged through our country was sealed three hundred years ago. A mountain of absolute frost that n.o.body dares put a foot into, the『Serafeed mountain』.”
