I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 82. Suck harder. That’s how I feel better.

I usually avoid revealing my private life, but I made an exception in Tacia’s case.

She is the one who gave me an item of astronomical value, an egoweapon made of mithril, for free.

If I was not going to return my weapon here, I had nothing to say even if I were told to hand over my organs, so I had absolutely no hesitation in reciting my activities in detail.

“… “You didn’t bring any weapons?”

A question that popped up while I was smoking a cigarette while listening to the latest news.

I immediately stopped talking and prepared to answer her question.

“You mean a weapon?”

“Yes, egoweapons are usually very attached to their masters. “You’ve felt something like that too, right?”

“Well, I don’t know. “I didn’t really feel anything like that…”

I certainly heard that when I first received the Ego Weapon, but I never felt any threat or hostility while using it.

On the contrary, when I clean the weapon, it vibrates pleasantly, and if there is danger to me, it automatically blocks it before I even notice, so I have had several experiences that have saved my life.

“… I can’t believe I don’t see any signs of obsession. Could it be that you left him in a corner of the house?”

“Oh, no. I didn’t leave it there. So, this is roughly what happened…”

It would be better to show this rather than explain it directly.

With that thought in mind, I swung it in the air, and along its trajectory, the weapon came out of the distorted space and was held in my hand.

-Wow.

A spear that makes a pleasant sound as soon as you hold it in your hand.

Seeing that the sunlight reflected on the day was still intact, it seemed to have been well preserved as usual.

“… Subspace?”

“Ah, yes. After receiving this child from Mr. Tachia, I was able to deploy it from about 2 months ago. To be exact, rather than expanding the space, it’s closer to putting it inside my body and carrying it around…….”

Should we say that the space to store this child is expanded only within my body?

Thanks to this function, you can take out your weapon at any time without having to carry it around, and thanks to this, you can demonstrate at least half of your combat power even when unarmed.

“… “Even though you learned the subspace function on your own and went with me, you haven’t had any problems so far?”

But what Tacia actually cares about is not the growth of weapons, but my safety.

She frowned and rested her chin, as if things had turned out differently than she had expected.

“Hey, Mr. Tachia…… ?”

“Are there any other special issues?”

“Yes? Ah yes. “I’ll explain right away.”

That concerns me a little, but she is the expert on this weapon, not me.

I thought, let’s hang out for me, so I explained various things about windows.

“In the past, it would just return to where I was, but these days, it has become possible to follow my commands and move on its own as long as it doesn’t get too far away from me. And perhaps thanks to this child’s influence, her mastery of self-taught spearmanship accelerated……. Ah, with the help of this child and her magical core, it is also possible to form a circle.”

“You, who couldn’t control mana until recently, are now able to use Circle, right?”

“Yes, as it happens, I can’t do it alone.”

Circle creation is a skill that is a standard for ‘mana users’ who handle and utilize mana.

Considering that the skill can usually be developed only if you have the skills to enter the Magic Tower, achieving it at least with the power of a tool could be seen as an incredible task in itself.

“Can I try it here?”

“That seems difficult. I don’t know if there is armor with a magic core embedded in it, but I guess I don’t have an aptitude for mana…….”

Magic and auras themselves are things that those who possess them must spend a long time learning them, but how can a new adventurer who has just bought a house be able to handle mana on his own?

Of course, I could go home now and put on the armor, but Tacia didn’t seem to mind waiting like that and just passed me a suggestion.

“Open your mouth for a moment.”

“Yes? Mouth open……. Town!”

Tachia quickly removed the cigarette from my mouth and took advantage of the moment I was speaking to insert the cigarette.

My face heated up when she realized what she had done later, but she just pressed her finger to my chin and blurted out my business.

“Suck quietly.”

“Eup, eup… ….”

“Don’t worry. “Because it’s not strange.”

No, it’s strange enough.

It wasn’t a new cigarette, he handed me his own cigarette.

“Cough!”

But the shame about it only lasts for a moment.

My body fell straight to the floor due to the pain that pierced my lungs along with my unconscious breathing.

“Cough! “Wow!”

“… “What, have you never smoked?”

“Oh, no. I burned it before……. Wow! “Wow!”

She tried to shake off the pain by coughing, but the frustration did not go away easily, as if a needle had been stuck in her lungs.

I smoked cigarettes for several years in my past life, but isn’t this so strong that it can’t even be compared to what I smoked back then?

“You smoke pretty, pretty strong stuff.”

“Oh well, if it’s not at this level, the message won’t go anywhere.”

Tacia said that and took the cigarette back to my mouth.

Even though it only went into my mouth once, I didn’t have any hesitation about putting it in my mouth.

“Anyway, this will be enough, so just do what you normally do to the scarecrow over there.”

“…Hey, Tacia.”

“Why?”

“That cigarette was in my mouth…”

“What’s wrong with that? Do you want to suck more?”

“…No, it’s nothing.”

Yes, if you think about it, Tacia was this kind of person from the beginning.

She was still embarrassed in many ways, but she also had a reason, so she gave me the cigarette she was smoking.

I immediately grabbed the ego weapon and prepared to create a circle against the scarecrow placed in the backyard.

As usual, if you show the will to use it, this child will adjust it for you, and all I have to do is activate the armor’s magic power and link its power.

-Excited.

But at this moment, as I smoked Tacia’s cigarette, I felt that something had formed in my body to replace the armor.

Beyond the clear sensation of your heart beating violently and the blood circulating through your body, the sensation of something coming out of it, as if the boundary between flesh and skin is breaking down….

-Jiying!

I used that feeling as if it were replacing the magic core of my armor, and soon the haze that formed on my arm hardened and took the shape of a translucent ring.

This is the circle. A phenomenon where the mana operated by a mana user is concentrated in the form of a ring when it is excessively concentrated at one point.

And since mana itself is energy that can be converted into physical power, the formation of a circle means that it can produce excessive output for that point.

-Jjiiing!

But why?

I feel the power of this circle stronger than usual……. Because the circle was formed on my body, not on the armor?

“Try swinging with all your might.”

“Ah, yes!”

Whatever it is, it is certain that a new opportunity has arrived.

I immediately injected the power of the circle formed in my hand into the spear, and stabbed the spear with all my might towards the scarecrow.

And then there was a loud, loud ‘Kwaang!’ Sound.

The power that exploded with him not only destroyed the scarecrow, but also collapsed the wall behind it, devastating the front line.

“Uh, huh?”

Yes, it is much stronger than usual.

The power of blowing away a range of more than ten meters starting from the stabbing range is enough to greatly exceed most attack magic.

Furthermore, if you can hit it immediately after forming a circle without casting, it may be possible to instantly kill even a hero when assuming a surprise attack.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes. “It’s a little bit recoily, but it’s worth it.”

But the scariest thing is that there is not even much risk with this level of technology.

Often, strong technology is accompanied by a certain amount of risk……. No, if you think about it, do Circle users use this as if it were a normal attack?

I was able to experience that, even if only temporarily, with Tacia’s help?

“Well, was that like doping just now?”

“Uh, well. Assuming that’s roughly the case, that’s it.”

Let’s just say that’s roughly the case.

If you only look at the power, it’s not something that can be glossed over, but if it’s not doping, what on earth caused the output to increase so much?

“The circle has been formed, swing the spear a little more. “I need to see how much skill I have developed with that spear.”

“Oh, yes.”

I felt suspicious, but since it’s been a while since we last met, there’s a lot more to confirm.

Afterwards, as she instructed, she swung her spear without using mana and unleashed a smoke against her scarecrow, and Tachia, who was watching her while smoking a cigarette, asked a question in between.

“… “I guess that spear was quite helpful in acquiring skills?”

“Yes, if I have a bad posture, they correct it right away.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Thanks to the class system supported by the guild, I have the basic knowledge of windows.

However, the greater reason why I was able to endure to some extent even against the warriors was that this spear guided me to the correct posture.

At first, it felt awkward because I was pulling with more force than I expected, but after getting used to it to a certain extent, I was able to handle it as if it were my original skill.

“It’s fascinating. “The window automatically captures the user’s movements.”

“That’s because the soul itself, which is the material, has a history. “Even if you don’t have memory, your instinct remembers it.”

“… “The soul that became the material?”

“Because the material of Ego Weapon is based on the human soul.”

Suddenly, the moment I lost my breath.

Seeing my reaction, Tachia quickly removed the cigarette from her mouth.

“You really didn’t know?”

“Oh, no. Rather than saying I don’t know…. “I wasn’t paying attention.”

If you think about it, it’s natural.

In the first place, as the name suggests, Ego Weapon means a weapon with a soul, and the medium through which that soul is created is not something created from nothing.

So, does that mean the soul in this weapon was once an excellent warrior or something?

“Well, I’ve seen what level you are at, so I’ll skip today’s test.”

As I was immersed in such worries, Tacia, who announced the end of the verification, slowly narrowed the distance between me and spoke.

“There’s something that’s bothering you for a moment, so open your mouth.”

“Yes? Again?”

“I’m not going to be bitten by a cigarette this time, so don’t talk nonsense and open your mouth.”

“… “Yes, yes.”

I’m a little worried, but I can’t help but accept the help I received in many ways.

The good news is that when I opened my mouth, what Tacia put in my mouth was not a cigarette.

It was a finger.

“Eup!?”

“Stay still. “Don’t set your teeth.”

“… Eup, eup.”

“Okay, lick it there with your tongue and suck harder. “Because it feels better that way.”

No, Mr. Tacia. Those words are a bit dangerous.

I know they do this for a reason, but please have some self-awareness.

Others may misunderstand that you are breastfeeding a grown man.

“… Are you cursed?”

But what he said next was to remove all such worries.

“Curse, huh?”

“Yes, it also feels like a very poisonous energy. “Did you come across a live invoice by mistake?”

A curse placed by a living corpse. The first thing that came to mind when I heard that was one of the four knights I encountered three months ago.

Gorgon Zola, the knight of famine.

This guy could have killed me on the spot.

“… “Is this serious?”

If you think about it, since then, things like auditory hallucinations and impulses have often occurred.

I asked back, thinking that maybe it was the effect of the curse, and the answer came back with a puff of smoke from a Tachiagi cigarette.

“Depending on the person, it could be a nuisance, but it’s been a few months since the curse was placed and there are no problems, so you can just keep it.”

“Yes? “It’s a curse, can I just hold it?”

“A curse is just something someone whispers in your head, right? They say something like impulse arises there, but that impulse can actually become a driving force for growth.”

The curse is the driving force…….

It’s a little bizarre, but when I think about it, I felt impatient because of those whispers, and that’s why I thought I worked harder to beat down the fallen warriors.

“Well, if you feel like you’re really going crazy, you can go to a priest and have him take care of it for you, but if not, it’s okay to just pay for a bag of sand and leave.”

“… To Mr. Tachia, a curse is like a bag of sand.”

“It’s strange that I’m surprised by a curse placed on a corpse when I’ve only eaten so much.”

Ah, yes. Contrary to appearances, you are quite old.

Well, I also vaguely guessed that she was a ‘transcendant’ who could twist Airi’s prophecy.

I don’t know why she moved to this closed district and took care of her, but I had guessed that she was not a strange person.

From the beginning, the weapon I held in my hand was something that no decent craftsman could have made…….

‘That way, I will be able to kill the mother who abandoned me with my own hands.’

…… For a moment.

Now that I think about it, I had a dream like that today.

As Tacia said, Gorgon Zola’s curse is eroding me, and it is reflected in my dreams, affecting that child as well.

“Hey, Mr. Tacia.”

While I was feeling scared after remembering this, I held out the ego weapon he was holding in his hand and asked Tachia.

“Could it be possible for Ego Weapon to be cursed too?”

-Tuk.

The cigarette fell from Tacia’s mouth as soon as he asked the question.

In the silence that followed, Tacia just stood there and stared at me, without realizing that the cigarette had fallen from her mouth.

No, not exactly me, but the spear in my hand.
