(EP-277.2) Fairy and Summer Trip #1
277 – The Clumsy Fairy and the Summer Trip #1
I always thought I was just average.
As I was feeling a bit embarrassed, Mirna took a few more sips from her glass, then elegantly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and added.
“Perhaps you might awaken innate magic like Solomon.”
Solomon.
Hearing that name from Mirna’s lips made me realize why she had come to my office.
She must have come to wrap up the discussion we had about me being a survivor of the Angmar family.
While I was preparing myself mentally, feeling a bit heavy-hearted, Mirna asked.
“Do you know about Solomon’s innate magic?”
“Innate magic....”
Archmages Rank 5 or above each possessed a unique attribute that could be considered their identity.
For example, the old mage Hynax of the Sage Council possessed the innate magic of Rapid Chanting, allowing him to quickly cast any spell once he had mastered it.
Or take Aira, who was on the verge of reaching the 8th Rank. She had the ability to manipulate light clusters, also called Photon Manipulation.
Every archmage had their own unique specialty.
It was said that the Rank 10 Solomon also possessed his own.
According to what Marmar had said, Solomon had three.
“Were they Revelation, Foresight and Enchantment?”
Mirna chuckled at my words.
“That’s what’s commonly believed, yes. Because it was convenient to let people think so. However, Solomon’s true innate magic was actually just one: Creation.”
“Creation?”
To create...
‘Wasn’t that a godlike ability?’ I thought, but Mirna was one step ahead of me.
“It’s a power akin to that of a god. Doesn’t it make you think so?”
I was a little embarrassed that my thoughts had been read. But Mirna’s demeanor was clear.
“Everyone thinks that way. Perhaps Solomon himself thought so too. That’s why he became arrogant. He desired even greater heights, and became jealous of what the heavens possessed. He grew angry at his inability to reach it─”
“Neglecting to do good out of sloth. Gluttony that consumes the world... These were Solomon’s sins. I’m well aware of them.”
The church preached Solomon’s wickedness—committing six of the deadly sins. The only sin he did not commit was lust.
No resident of Angmar didn’t know that.
In fact, you heard it so much when you go to church, to the point it would become exhausting even.
“Sir Theo, if you were to fall like Solomon, you might add the sin of lust to the list. The Demon King of Seven Sins... That would be far worse than Solomon.”
“.......”
I couldn’t deny it...
“And Sir Theo, when were you planning to tell me that Lady Lioness is expecting?”
My vision instantly went blurry. The fresh clarity I had just felt was suddenly struck by lightning.
“... How did you...?”
Mirna frowned at my question.
“Not long ago, when I fought with Lady Lioness at the shop, I noticed how she kept protecting her belly. Considering her recent strange behavior as well...”
“Ah.”
“Given all those hints, only a fool would not figure it out. While Lady Lioness might not notice, I’m certainly not that oblivious.”
Just as one issue was resolved, another stormed in. I had to calm the agitated Mirna by explaining the situation truthfully.
“What? Y-you conspired with Lady Lioness to... to make me pregnant!?”
“Shh, Lady Mirna, please lower your voice. Try to calm down a little....”
“Ahem, how disgraceful. I have a lot to say, but I don’t even know where to start or how to express it. Sir Theo, I’ll be watching.”
“Understood...”
I could only bow my head like a nymph who had been scolded. Whether my earnest action had convinced her, Mirna just snorted.
Then, noticing the books about the Wall Clarice lined up on my desk, she seemed intrigued and asked.
“Are you planning to visit the wall?”
