Reincarnation Band Magician

She counted on her fingers, smiling, and moved closer to get a better look.

"It's still the same... You have to hide it well."

Qing was sure that Solitaire had not discovered anything. She was just habitually using inflammatory or misleading words to disturb people.

Next was Xiangzi. Solitaire reached out and touched her hairband. "It's nice to look more refined like this. Have you been studying hard recently? That's great."

Xiangzi endured it and said nothing.

Lastly it was Aite, the demon smiled and moved closer to get a closer look at Clara, causing Aite to take a step back.

The small action didn't do any harm, but it just made Solitiel raise an eyebrow.

It feels a little different.

But she wasn't human, so she didn't know.

After saying hello, she moved the things down from the carriage.

"I brought gifts for you all."

The people in the fortress retreated decisively, leaving quite a few things inside. Solitaire, who had no sense of human morality, started shopping for free.

By the way, there were already humans doing this at the time, and they didn't run away.

Solitier had no interest in those people at first, but the other party seemed to be interested.

There is really no way.

But it saves a lot of time collecting things.

Ingredients, spices, clothes, books...

It felt a bit boring to just randomly grab something, so after shoving it into a car, she began to carefully select gifts, finally choosing a few that she thought her lovely humans would like.

"This is for Qing, a magical tool of elven craftsmanship, but I think you'll like what's inside more."

She brought out a suitcase that looked old, the leather tattered and revealing the black metal underneath.

If it weren't for Solitaire's mysterious look, Nagasaki Kiyoshi would have thought it was just an ordinary piece of junk that should be thrown into the trash.

It feels like she might be the same age as him.

In fact, the gap between them was beyond his imagination.

Under Solitaire's commentary, Nagasaki Kiyoshi opened the box.

Then, the first thing I thought was that I had been exercising too much recently and my eyes were blurry.

Inside are more than a dozen rows of bottles and jars, neatly arranged and separated by wooden racks.

Yes, more than ten rows, about the height of a bookshelf.

"Is it a mirror?"

Xiang came over to take a look and felt dizzy. He reached in to try to touch the bottom, but even after putting his whole arm in, he still couldn't feel anything.

She couldn't help but think of the "man-eating box" in the story, and she pulled her arm back with a chill.

"It looks much larger than it does from the outside, doesn't it? This is inspired by a monster called a 'Mamikko', which can swallow very large objects without changing shape. Some dedicated elves have studied this for hundreds of years and developed this technology."

"Because elves have long lifespans, many of them collect large amounts of scrap that they can't bear to throw away, so they use boxes like this to store it. This might be one of them. Over the past thousand years, most elves have been killed, and this technique has been lost, making it almost impossible to reproduce.

"Like it?"

"Yeah, I like it very much."

……

Caged: 58, Unable to Call

Compared with the box, the hundreds of spices inside are not precious. If they are taken out for sale, a reverse version of "buying the box and returning the pearl" may occur.

Most of Solitaire's time away was spent collecting spices.

If a human being did this, it would be truly touching.

But the demons... this level of "goodwill" is nothing to them with their long lifespans.

After understanding this, Nagasaki Kiyoshi wanted to sigh.

The two ethnic groups have absolutely incompatible characteristics. The more you understand the demons, the more you will think that it would be better if they did not exist in the first place.

Qing couldn't think from the demons' perspective, but he would never hesitate because of these things.

"Thank you, Solitude, I love it."

If she were human...

Qing stopped imagining.

There is no such thing as if. All fantasies based on this premise will only make him weak.

The best thing he could do was to send Solitaire down there. If there was such a thing as the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" here, he hoped that she would be a human being in her next life.

Qing strengthened his will.

Solitaire looked at Xiangzi with a smile.

The demons don't understand humans, so Solitiel found something she thought was suitable based on the style Xiangzi liked before.

"Ok?"

Inside the opened gift box lay an asymmetrical mask commonly seen in masquerades. Its silver-white background was decorated with black patterns of unknown flowers, making it look mottled and mysterious.

"It's also a magical tool, but it has a slightly insignificant effect, improving magic power recovery."

Solitaire introduced.

Xiangzi took it with both hands, thanked him politely, and tested it. After wearing it on his face, it automatically adjusted to fit the bridge of his nose and cheekbones and would not fall off easily.

【So handsome! 】

She was already cheering in her heart, and even thought of pairing it with the red and black strappy dress Qing gave her, and adding some small accessories...

After reconciling with the weak Xiaoxiang, the middle-aged Xiaoxiang began to recover.

After watching the performance of Morfonica, a band performed by her seniors from Tsukinomori Academy, her desire to transcend reality became even stronger. It was her own dark and deep fantasy.

Objectively speaking, Solitaire has pretty good taste.

Qing was puzzled.

【Mask, won’t you take it off?】

She put it on and didn't seem to want to take it off.

"It looks like you like it too."

Solitaire nodded.

"Finally, this is a gift for you, Aite. I think you will like it too."

Just as Art was about to say something, Solitude put her hand on his neck.

When he let go, a dark and complex pattern was left there, and then it faded away.

During this time, Aite only felt his skin getting hot.

"This is the magic of [Memory Restriction], passed down from the Volame era. Once cast, no information related to the restricted object can be expressed in any form. The condition for breaking it is death.

"As long as it doesn't cause any harm to your body, the maximum amount of memory that can be blocked is one year. That way, there's no need to worry about what you might say after you leave."

【leave……】

【leave?】

【leave--】

The three people had different moods.

"Yes, leave. Once you have taught me everything, you can take your daughter away from here. I will then add this magic."

Solitaire smiled and made a triangle with her hands.

"After all, I'm a 'pacifist.' If we can live in peace, I won't kill anyone unnecessary. Hasn't that been proven in the past?"

Aite's emotions fluctuated uncontrollably. She knew that this demon's character would be incapable of mercy, but she still couldn't help but fantasize...

The poisonous and illusory hope that Qing Hexiang had previously tried hard to avoid began to arise in her heart.

"Thank you, Master Sollitir."

"Yeah, and when the weather gets a little better, I'll take you around to see the monsters of the North."

There were no signs of human activity in the surrounding area, and even fewer after the demon army took action.

If you have pets, after they stay in cages for too long, you always want to let them run around in the yard.

For Solitaire, the land within hundreds of kilometers around her was like a garden or a park.

Perhaps this is good news for the three of them.

……

Tested it at noon.

Aite was unable to mention or describe anything that happened in the past six months.

It wasn't like the "Mark of the Tongue to Eliminate Trouble" in the comics Qing had read, where one was forbidden to speak rudely, but after it was mentioned, the memory naturally connected to other places.

It will be triggered whether you ask the question yourself or are asked.

When talking about the sea and the shipyard, Aite would naturally talk about his experiences during family outings in his childhood.

When we talk about demons, we are referring to the rampant demons in the south.

When asked about the magic he had learned, he replied that he learned it from his brother and father when he was a child, and he could even accurately describe it one afternoon.

When she mentioned their names, she said to Qing: "I don't remember the people you mentioned named 'Qing', 'Xiangzi' and 'Solitier'."

And if I recall every year of my life bit by bit...

People cannot remember every ordinary day accurately. Aite's memory is like the corpse in "Astrology Murder Magic", which is divided and pieced together, and it seems to be 20 years.

None of the several lie detection magics that Nagasaki Kiyoshi knew could detect such a completely genuine answer as a lie.

The memory did not disappear, but when it was mentioned alone, it could not be connected, as if when "queried", this memory was hidden and removed from the "database" and could not be retrieved.

Once she leaves here, no information about this place will be leaked from her mouth.

After careful perception, Qing couldn't even figure out the structure of this technique. It was so complex and intertwined, like the power lines in India.

This magic exists to protect secrets.

During the initial observation, Qing saw at least 16 nodes, corresponding to different magic frequencies and input types. If one of them did not match, it would be immediately disrupted and restarted.

This is not a test of magical skills, just like the best safe maker will not know the customer's combination. At most, they are more skilled at taking it apart.

And now they can't demolish it.

Qing used a card to tell Xiangzi that they could not lift this spell in a short time.

[Impossible at all?]

[Well, you can understand that Solitier randomly entered a 16-digit or longer password. It's likely that she herself doesn't know what the 'password' is.]

Actually, it doesn’t matter. This magic is just to protect the memories of this period of time, and it is also a protection for Aite - if she can really leave here.

Up to now, neither of them has had the slightest thought of seeking help from outsiders.

I just hope that after Aite leaves, he can live a happy and fulfilling life.

"Oh yeah, aren't you going to take off your mask?"

In the Cage: 59, Spring Outing

"Well, I'm a little reluctant to leave Aite, but it's a good thing to be able to leave."
