Episode 4-27: Defeated by Humanity!

Thank you for the hard work, Jade. Did you manage to have a talk with Kalim-san?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes. It is as you thought, Azul. It is highly probable that Kalim-san is being brainwashed and controlled using magic.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Brainwashed!?
|
Choice 1: Being controlled…?
|
Choice 2: I feel like I’ve heard a similar story before…
|
Grim
Grim
|
Is that even possible?
|
Jade
Jade
|
You know how Ruggie-san is able to control people’s movements with his magic, yes? There are a variety of hypnotic magic that can control a person’s mind as well. However, it requires quite a high-leveled technique and magical capabilities, so… There aren’t many magicians out there who dare use it…
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
It’d be impossible unless they have Azul’s technique and magical power.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Even I would find it difficult to attempt to control a living being.
|
Grim
Grim
|
I don’t think there’s anyone on Azul’s level here in Scarabia, yanno? Kalim’s unique magic is a pretty boring thing that can only summon water, too. And Jamil said that he was a pretty average student, too.
|
Azul
Azul
|
I wouldn’t be so believing if I were you. A skilled hawk hides its talons, as the saying goes.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
So, who’s doing it and what do they gain from controlling Rakko-chan?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Unfortunately, I was not able to extract that information.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
You couldn’t figure it out even with your unique magic?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Jade’s unique magic? Oh, yeah… I don’t think we’ve seen his unique magic yet. What’s it do?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Floyd… I always tell you to be careful about revealing our unique magic to others, do I not?
|
Azul
Azul
|
Well, telling Yuu-san and Grim-san will not do any harm. Someone with no magical capabilities will not be able to do anything even if they know the truth.
|
Grim
Grim
|
I feel like you’re making fun of me now…
|
Jade
Jade
|
(sighs)… Very well, then. The more aware people become of my unique magic, the more they become cautious around me. Which is why I do not like talking about it, but… My unique magic is called “Shock the Heart”. It is magic that allows someone to tell me only the absolute truth.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Wha–!? Does that mean they can’t lie to you!?
|
Jade
Jade
|
I can only use it against a person once. Once I have used it, I cannot use it on the same person again. Moreover, it is not guaranteed to work on strong magicians or someone as overly cautious as Azul. It will only work perfectly against those who are gullible and those who are doubting their own hearts. It is a unique magic that is quite limited, I’m afraid.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
It works so much better against cowards and crybabies though~
|
Jade
Jade
|
Fufufu, indeed.
|
Grim
Grim
|
That’s a pretty twisted smile…
|
Jade
Jade
|
In any case, Kalim-san is the overly friendly type, so he easily fell for my magic. However…

Jade
|
Look straight into my left eye… Yes, just like that… “There is no need to be afraid, I want to be of help to you.” Shock the Heart.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
… Eh?
|
Jade
Jade
|
You must swear to answer the truth and only the truth to my questions. “Do you know any students here who can use hypnotic magic?”
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
I do.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Then, what is his name?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
That’s… I can’t say.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Eh?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
It’s something I absolutely can’t tell anyone. I promised him long ago. That’s why I won’t say it.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Is that so…? I understand.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
… Hm? What was I doing just now…?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Thank you very much. Thanks to your help, I have cleared what I was tasked to do.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
R-really? I don’t really get it, but it’s good that you’re feeling better!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Indeed.
|
Flashback Sequence - Scarabia Dorm – Treasure Vault - END

|
Jade
Jade
|
That’s how it went.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Hahaha! How very interesting indeed! Kalim-san’s kindness completely won against your unique magic.
|
Jade
Jade
|
It is very frustrating to admit, but that is what happened.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
I always thought he’d be loose-lipped, so that’s unexpected~
|
Jade
Jade
|
That just means that it is a very dear promise to him.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Fufu… Still, that dedication has practically revealed the cause of strife within their dorm. All we need to do is to add the finishing touches. Let us catch the one responsible red-handed, shall we? I have a plan. First…
