Chapter 541 - I Feel Like I\'m Falling in Love with Her All Over Again
What a terrifying attack…… Even though I somehow managed to hold my ground…… If this continues…… The words “being driven into a corner” is a fitting description of the situation, but it is precisely because of this that I can see a way forward.
In a battle, it is important to know when to attack and when to retreat. Right now, yes, it is the time for me to attack!
[Hahaha, this ends everything, Kaito-san! I’ll give you a pat on the back for a job well done…… How—-evah! You’re still far from beating me……]
[Are you…… sure about that?]
[……Ehh?]
[An eye for an eye…… If you come at me with a tornado, I’ll give a tornado back to you!]
Words spoken with a strong will. As if in response, the magic power turned into wind, creating a second tornado in this place.
Seeing the wind dragons colliding with each other, Alice exclaimed with a shocked expression on his face.
[What!? Y- You’re using the same technique I used…… and mastered it in such a short period of time!? M- Moreover, this is…… Reverse rotation!?]
[……Yes, but…… This clash isn’t an even match. There’s a huge difference between you and me!]
[Difference?!? No way, t- this magic power!?]
[You’re too focused on having a gaudy performance…… Take this!]
[Aaahhhhh!? T- This is…… My “Alice-chan’s Delicious Spin Special” is……]
As the tornadoes collided with each other, I had the upper hand, Alice’s…… “feyblade” was greatly blown away from the ring.
[Alright, I won!]
[G- Gununu…… For the beginner Kaito-san to easily blow my fey to the ground…… To be honest, it’s super vexing.]
[Ahaha, I’m not just going to let myself be beaten down…… By the way…… This feyblade is really interesting!]
[Isn’t it!? This is also something Alice-chan is really proud of!]
Yes, after Alice and I finished playing with the VR game, we are currently playing with feyblades, something that Alice has made.
As one may have guessed from its name, it is based on the beyblades, but its inner workings were quite different.
First of all, these feyblades don’t have those launchers that beyblades have, and were instead thrown like a frisbee. The magic power imbued within the feyblade will be automatically released, and it will spin vigorously.
In addition, though you couldn’t perfectly control it, using the magic circle connected to it, you can somewhat control the movement of the feyblade to some extent by picturing it in your mind.
The feyblade itself is also made of magic crystal, which allows its controller to perform special moves…… such as cladding its blades with flames or that tornado we used earlier.
[I especially like the fact that the magic power that can be imbued into the feyblade is constant, so even if there’s an extreme difference in magic power between you and me, we can still fight on even terms.]
[Yes, I’ve given a lot of thought to that. I’ve even slowed down the speed at which the feyblades move in response to instructions so that those whose thought speed was incredibly fast don’t have much of an advantage.]
[I think this is going to be very popular when it goes on sale.]
[Ahaha, well, the materials needed to make one of these are quite expensive, so it will be a while before it goes on sale. Still, I’m sure this will be completed much faster than the VR.]
Well, to be honest, I may have underestimated the festival Alice made. Whether it’s the VR or this feyblade, they were both really fun and I was hooked to playing it.
I wonder what the next attraction will be? I’m really looking forward to it.
[……Well then, let’s change things up a bit and go to the Experience Attraction next!]
[Experience Attraction?]
[Yes, the attraction’s name is actually “Peerage-Holder, High-Ranking Demon Physical Ability Personal Experience”! It’s also something that I’ve invented, filled with a variety of new technologies.]
[……Hearing its name honestly makes me really look forward to it.]
With all the attractions I’ve been so far, my expectations have been tremendously raised. Unable to contain my excitement, I quickly walked to the next attraction together with Alice.
It seemed to be a rather large outdoor attraction, with a small but rocky mountain and a short track for running.
As soon as we got here, Alice led me in front of a rock pile of about 10 meters high, handing a small ball to me.
[Now then, Kaito-san. Try throwing that ball at that rocky mountain.]
[Eh? U- Unnn. Alright.]
I’m at a considerable distance from where the rocky mountain is. I don’t even think my throw could reach it……
With such thoughts in mind, I held the ball aloft and threw it…… Leaving my hand, the ball hit the rocky mountain with a flashing speed, shattering it into pieces.
[……Eh? W- What happened just now? I- I’m pretty sure I just normally threw it……]
[Fufufu, that’s the power of a Peerage-Holder, High-Ranking Demon!]
[H- How in the world is this possible?]
[You see, there’s actually a trick in the ball. The ball accelerates rapidly when thrown, and generates a powerful shock wave when it hits something. Of course, safety measures have been placed to prevent it from hitting living things.]
I- I see, it’s not because I threw a tremendously powerful pitch, but because the ball accelerated…… I see, this is well thought out and interesting.
[Kaito-san! Try this next!]
[Whoa, that’s big!]
Alice took out a block of steel that seemed to be about 16 square meters. What am I supposed to do with this?
[Now, now, try hitting it as hard as you can.]
[N- No, no, if I do that, my hand will……]
[It’s alright. Trust me, now go!]
[……Uuhhh, a- alright.]
There must be some kind of trick to this steel block. Thinking like that, I believed in Alice and punched the steel block as hard as I could.
Thereupon, after feeling a resistance as weak as punching a jelly, my fist shattered the iron block into pieces.
[……W- Whoooaaaa!]
[This block of steel becomes extremely soft when it comes into contact with living things. It will then reform back after a certain amount of time. What do you think? How does it feel to experience the punching power of a Peerage-holder?]
[……T- This is amazing.]
This is, how should I explain this…… I’m feeling an inexplicable amount of pleasantness. It’s as if I’ve become a super-powered person.
I see, so this is that kind of attraction huh…… So that’s why she said that even I, with my not-so-great physical abilities, can experience the power of a Peerage-holding Demon……
This is amazing, I’m getting excited again. These attractions make one experience having a super power, something that every boy must have dreamed of at some part of their life. Even though this is just a simulated experience, it was still insanely fun.
[There are also other things that can be experienced here, such as watching the flow of the surrounding scenery to experience what it feels like to have super speed…… You can even unleash powerful magic with a Production-type magic tool.]
[……I want to try them out. Especially that magic one.]
[Fufufu, well then, let’s try them one by one!]
Dear Mom, Dad————- How should I say this…… It kind of feels like in the past few hours, Alice’s stock has been on the rise in my mind. I thought she would only make stuffed costumes and other weird stuff, but for her to create fun attractions like these….. How should I say this————– I feel like I’m falling in love with her all over again.
