“Liana, is this water temperature still suitable?” Mephilia asked gently.

Mephilia was now genuinely helping Liana bathe and scrub her back, having entered what one might call a ‘sage mode,’ already satisfied.

But our Liana was now breathing heavily, responding somewhat weakly, “Mm.”

Fortunately, she was the last person to enter the bathroom; otherwise, others would have discovered that she had been in the bathroom for nearly two hours.

Mephilia’s desire was truly frightening.

But this couldn’t be blamed on Mephilia. Who told Liana to be so cute, and that coy appearance of resistance yet compliance truly made it impossible to restrain oneself.

Mephilia’s hand slid over Liana’s skin, “Don’t exhaust yourself.”

Liana was already exhausted! Guess whose fault that was!

“I won’t push myself too hard. I’ll definitely act with my own safety as the priority. I’m quite afraid of dying, you know,” Liana said.

“I hope what you’re saying is true.” After Mephilia rinsed the foam off Liana’s body, their bath finally concluded.

Liana ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) dried the water from her body with a towel, and just as she was about to put on her clothes, Mephilia came over.

“I can dress myself! Mephilia, stop touching me like some hooligan!” Liana was somewhat frustrated; in private, Mephilia was just like a child!

Because of Mephilia, what should have taken just a few minutes to put on sleepwear ended up taking more than ten minutes.

Before walking out, Liana reminded Mephilia not to make any noise, to be quieter, in case they were heard—rather, since they must be asleep by now, it would be bad to disturb them.

Mephilia certainly knew what Liana was thinking: they had stayed in the bathroom too long, and if others found out, it would be awkward. Liana had just passed by Sephirena’s door and spoken with her.

Now on the way back, they would definitely pass by Sephirena’s room again, and if Sephirena saw them, she would absolutely know they had spent a full two hours in the bathroom.

“I understand.” Mephilia loved Liana, so naturally knew when to do what and when not to do something.

In private, they could play however they wanted, but in public, Mephilia always gave Liana proper respect.

Mephilia didn’t want others to think Liana was someone easy to bully. That was something only she needed to know.

Liana carefully passed by Sephirena’s room, seemingly undetected, and only breathed a sigh of relief after quietly returning to her own room.

“Hehe, looks like no one noticed.” Mephilia hugged Liana, lying on the bed.

“This is all your fault!” Liana had originally planned to finish bathing fast and return early, but it dragged on until now.

“But didn’t you seem to enjoy it quite a bit yourself?” Mephilia bit Liana’s lips, which were cool with a hint of sweetness, though soon her earlobe warmed slightly.

“Besides, this way saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Liana, you would have made this bed a complete mess. In such cold weather, that wouldn’t be easy to deal with, and others might get suspicious, right?” Mephilia said.

“Mephilia, you’re so annoying!” Liana said with great bashfulness, then mumbled softly, “We could just change the sheets and blanket...”

“Oh? So Liana, does that mean we can continue?”

“We really need to rest...” Liana pleaded.

Although Mephilia said this, she didn’t actually start anything, just hugged Liana from behind, wrapping her legs around her like holding a doll.

Liana cared for Mephilia because she was usually busy with Lisat Kingdom affairs and had hardly any time to rest or relax. So whenever Mephilia came to find her, Liana would try her best to satisfy all of Mephilia’s requests.

Mephilia also cared deeply for Liana, who had made many sacrifices for her safety and was still misunderstood by many people. However, Mephilia had decided to thoroughly resolve this issue and let everyone know about Liana’s gentle and kind nature.

“Regarding that plan of yours, I’ve heard roughly about it from Minoga,” Mephilia said.

“Mm, in a month, Minoga will return to your side to protect your safety.”

“No.” Mephilia shook her head. “Only after two months. Didn’t she say she needed three months to prepare? If it’s just after one month, you’d still be in danger for another month.

“Especially after what happened today—just in the time it took to pick me up, they already came looking for trouble.” Mephilia said.

In less than half a day, things had already reached this point. If it continued for a whole month, Liana would definitely be in a very dangerous situation.

“Mephilia...”

“There’s no room for negotiation, Liana. If you refuse me, I’ll just take you directly to Ibett Magic Academy. There, I can teach you many spells, and it’s also very safe.” Mephilia said.

She had always had this idea, but she respected Liana’s choices more, which is why she had always compromised. However, on matters concerning life safety, Mephilia couldn’t compromise even slightly—this was her bottom line.

“Alright.” Liana didn’t want to discuss this issue too much, and besides, she agreed that Mephilia was right. After what happened today, anything could happen in the future.

“Then I’m afraid you’ll have to stay at Ibett Magic Academy during this time.” Liana said.

Going out without protection would be very dangerous for Mephilia now.

“It’s just two months, not a particularly long time.” Mephilia said indifferently. “Perfect timing, actually. During this period, I’ll resolve my academic issues first. As for the Lisat Kingdom matters, thanks to you, there’s nothing to worry about now, and I don’t need to deal with those affairs for the time being.”

“That’s good.”

“You’ve been asking me questions, but what about you? Mephilia, how have you been this past month?” Liana asked.

Liana still had some aspirations for this world’s magic academies. Although she had already mastered some magic, it was far from enough.

Moreover, there were many legends about Ibett Magic Academy, and Liana wanted to see it for herself. Additionally, if she wanted to decipher these strange incantations and truly understand magic, this was an essential step.

“This month, there hasn’t been anything particularly special. After classes, I just go to the library to look at magic books and such.” Mephilia said. “It’s just a very ordinary campus life.”

Ordinary campus life?

Even if Mephilia said that, Liana couldn’t quite understand what she meant by “ordinary campus life.” After all, in Liana’s original world, there was no such thing as magic, so Liana really couldn’t combine “ordinary” with “magic.”

“I should also thank you, Liana. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced this kind of normal life.” Mephilia hugged Liana a little tighter.

In the past, various responsibilities had always weighed on Mephilia, making it hard for her to breathe, and she didn’t know who to share this pressure with. But now it was different.

Liana could listen to her words and even help shoulder most of the pressure, making her feel much lighter. And now, she also had a clearer goal to strive for.

That was to protect the little cutie in her arms.

“You say ‘thank you’ too much.” Liana leaned her body down a bit, then tilted her head back to rest on Mephilia’s chest, looking at her. “Between us, we shouldn’t say so many thanks, right?”

“True, next time, I won’t say thank you.”

“That’s more like it.” Liana smiled happily.

“Next time, I’ll use this to substitute for ‘thank you’, okay?” Mephilia lowered her head and gently kissed Liana’s forehead.

“Mm, but... don’t think about doing naughty things.” If Mephilia thought about doing naughty things every time she kissed her, Liana didn’t think her body could handle it.

“I understand.”

Mephilia held Liana, placing her hands on Liana’s stomach, feeling it. “Liana, you don’t seem to have any particular changes.”

“...Huh? What are you saying?” With Mephilia now touching her body and saying she hadn’t changed, the meaning didn’t need further explanation, right?

“I mean, the gift I prepared for you, though it can’t really be called a gift I prepared for you, since it’s actually your own thing originally.” Mephilia explained.

“Hm? What thing?” Liana was confused.

Mephilia released her embrace of Liana, got off the bed, and took out a very beautiful and exquisite outfit from the backpack she had brought.

“What’s this?” Liana looked at Mephilia.

“It’s the clothing that you made Oester compensate for last time. He only provided the materials and processing fees. Besides the runes carved on it, the design and cutting, including the size of the clothes, were all done by me.” Mephilia said.

“Didn’t you say this was a gift for you? Why did you specifically design it for me?” Liana asked.

“I don’t lack these kinds of clothes, but you do, Liana. Because in others’ eyes, you can’t use magic, so they wouldn’t gift you such clothes. Firstly, if you can’t use magic, you can’t fully utilize the power of enchanted clothes, and secondly, giving such clothes to someone who can’t use magic is like a kind of mockery to that person.” Mephilia explained.

“Moreover, these materials and processing fees were all secured by you, Liana, so this outfit is naturally prepared for you. And besides, aren’t you going to engage in some very dangerous activities later? This outfit can provide you with a bit of protection.”

Since Mephilia had said so much, Liana had to accept her kindness. Liana looked at the white and blue outfit and liked it very much.

“Originally, I planned to design it as a formal dress, but since you don’t seem to like it much and rarely wear formal dresses, I thought about changing it into casual wear.” Mephilia said.

Mephilia really understood Liana too well. Liana hated wearing so-called formal dresses because whenever she had to wear them, it meant there were troublesome matters to deal with, and there would be all sorts of strange people coming over.

Liana disliked crowded occasions the most, especially those with older men. But now, with her current status, she could ignore them.

However, what Liana disliked most about formal dresses was that they were really troublesome to put on, and once worn, they were very inconvenient for movement, which is why Liana hated them so much.

Changed into casual wear, Liana particularly loved it, especially this girl next door style of outfit, which Liana liked the most.

“Why don’t you try it on? It’s carefully prepared according to your measurements.” Mephilia said.

“My measurements...” Liana looked at Mephilia, wanting to ask where she got them from, but Liana had a vague guess.

How else could she have gotten them if not by personally measuring Liana herself?

Liana took the outfit with both hands. The materials and fabrics used were all top-tier, feeling very comfortable to the touch, warm in winter and cool in summer, adjusting to the surrounding temperature to ensure the wearer had no discomfort.

Moreover, the runes engraved at the edges were also quite extraordinary. “There are two enchantments on this outfit. One is a recovery-type enchantment that will slowly heal your wounds and restore your mana if you’re injured. The other is a defensive incantation that will provide you with some protection when you face danger.”

Liana had never had such an outfit before and didn’t know what it would feel like to wear it.

“Try it on? There shouldn’t be any significant issues.” Mephilia urged.

“Alright.” Liana looked at Mephilia.

“What’s wrong?” Mephilia was staring directly at Liana.

“Turn around or close your eyes. I’m shy.” She didn’t know how she had managed to change clothes in front of Loraviel before.

Perhaps it was a different mindset, and at that time, she was still playing the role of a perverted villainous young lady. It might also have been because she felt more at ease with Loraviel. If it were someone else, Liana wouldn’t have been able to do it.

“We’ve seen everything there is to see, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about, right?” Although Mephilia said this, she still closed her eyes.

She also wanted to see how Liana would look in this beautiful outfit.

Liana undid the buttons at her chest. Because they were indoors, and she was wearing sleepwear, and more importantly, because the person staying in the same room was Mephilia, Liana’s upper body wasn’t wearing any undergarments.

Mainly because it was more comfortable this way, and if Mephilia saw, it wouldn’t be a big deal; at most, she’d just be teased a bit.

Liana took off the sleepwear she was wearing and put on the white and blue dress Mephilia had prepared for her. The runes at the hem were concealed by embroidery, and the pale gold lace embroidery made the otherwise ordinary clothes appear somewhat noble and gorgeous.

After putting on the dress, Liana also saw a small circular object, and upon picking it up, she realized it was a leg ring that Mephilia had carefully prepared for her.

“How is it? Are you done?” Mephilia listened to the sounds of Liana changing clothes, feeling a bit itchy inside.

Click!

With the sound of Liana putting on the leg ring, she had finally changed her clothes. “Done.”

Mephilia opened her eyes, and indeed, no matter what clothes Liana wore, she was always very cute. “It suits you very well.”

“Thanks...”

Just as Liana was about to express her gratitude, Mephilia interrupted her, “Are you going to say thank you to me too? Didn’t we just agree? Thanks should be expressed in another way.”

“...” Liana smiled gently, came to the bedside, knelt one leg on the bed, leaned slightly forward, and kissed Mephilia’s lips, then playfully bit Mephilia’s lip, “Only when it’s just the two of us, okay?”

“Mm.” Mephilia nodded.

When outside, Liana wouldn’t dare to do such bold things, as their relationship hadn’t been made public; they were just two very close sisters.

“Is there any discomfort when wearing it?” Mephilia asked.

“These are measurements you personally took, how could there be any issues?” Liana also wished there was something uncomfortable, especially in the chest area, so she could console herself that she had grown a bit, but unfortunately, no such thing happened. The outfit fit perfectly, so perfectly that not a single flaw could be found, which made Liana a bit dejected.

“That’s good.” Seeing the smile on Liana’s face, Mephilia was also very happy; it seemed Liana liked this outfit too.

Then, out of curiosity and a bit of mischief, Mephilia asked Liana, “So what is this gift you mentioned earlier that you want to give me?”

After all, while eavesdropping earlier, she had already learned what gift Liana wanted to give her.

Liana’s gaze turned to the bedside table drawer, where she had placed the gift she had prepared for Mephilia.

Give it to her now?

No.

For such a special gift, Liana still wanted to give it to Mephilia on a special occasion, and coincidentally, tomorrow would be a very suitable occasion.

So, Liana kept a bit of mystery, “It’s a secret. I’ll tell you tomorrow. Just look forward to it for now.”

“Mm!” Mephilia was obviously very happy, although she already knew about the Tree of Life visit under full moon.

But she heard that Liana, in order to watch this spectacle together with her, had restrained her curiosity. Two full moon nights had passed, and she hadn’t gone to see it, waiting instead for her to come so they could watch it together.

Just this point alone was enough to make it a very surprising gift. Being able to watch beautiful scenery with the person you love is already a precious gift.

One could say that the Tree of Life and the full moon night were just additions; the real gift was going to see it together.

However, due to a beautiful misunderstanding, Mephilia didn’t know what Liana’s true gift was.

Liana, seeing Mephilia’s happy expression, felt a bit nervous inside. Would it be too sudden?

But thinking carefully, given the relationship they had now, what could be considered sudden anymore?

Besides, as long as Mephilia was happy, that was what mattered. She looked even prettier when she smiled.

When Liana first met Mephilia, seeing the sad expression always on her face made Liana’s heart ache.

Liana had also made up her mind that she would never let Mephilia show such an expression again.

“Then I’ll really look forward to tomorrow!” Mephilia hugged Liana and laid down on the bed.

“Eh! Wait! I still need to change my clothes!” Liana was still wearing the outfit from earlier.

“It’s fine, there’s no problem sleeping in it.” Mephilia said.

“No way! It’ll get wrinkled!” Although Liana knew that clothes of this material wouldn’t wrinkle from sleeping in them, she still wanted to take care of the things Mephilia gave her.

“Alright then.” Mephilia released Liana, letting her change into her sleepwear.

“But clothes are meant to be worn, to protect you. If you’re too careful about them and keep them in the closet, that’s a bit of putting the cart before the horse. Besides, clothes have feelings too, you know. Beautiful clothes should be worn.” Mephilia said.

“I know.” Liana wouldn’t just keep the clothes in the wardrobe all the time, and besides, wearing the new clothes Mephilia had given her for such an important occasion tomorrow also had a very special meaning.

Mephilia felt her heart racing, and was a bit excited, “I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. I feel like I can’t sleep.”

“Don’t look forward to it so much.” Being anticipated like this put a lot of pressure on Liana.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, Liana. Whatever gift you give me, I’ll like it very much.” Mephilia buried her head in Liana’s silky hair.

“Mm, so now, we should rest well to welcome tomorrow, right?”

“Mm.” Mephilia gently touched Liana’s lips.

They spoke no more, closed their eyes, and began to look forward to the arrival of tomorrow night.

The next day, Liana and Mephilia unusually slept in.

Normally during training, it was very common for Liana to wake up at four or five. At that time, the sun hadn’t even risen, but she had to leave her soft bed and go outside to train, which was truly a very bothersome thing.

As for Mephilia, it goes without saying, sleeping in had almost nothing to do with her.

Minoga and Oliphia were also very thoughtful and didn’t disturb the two of them.

Minoga had also carefully prepared breakfast, preserving it with magic so they could enjoy it as soon as they woke up.

Sephirena had already packed what they needed for going out. She looked at the two sitting in the room and asked, “Don’t we need to wake them up?”

It was already nine in the morning, and Princess Liana wouldn’t normally wake up this late.

Did they talk too happily when they met yesterday and accidentally overslept?

“No need.” Minoga shook her head. “Besides, Princess Mephilia also needs to study magic in the back garden today, and additionally, tonight is the full moon night. Princess Liana and Princess Mephilia will both stay in the back garden, so there’s no rush today. It’s fine to go a bit late.”

“I understand.” Sephirena put down what she was holding, sat down, and quietly waited for them.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the two were slowly opening their eyes.

Now, Liana’s habit of hugging others while sleeping had gradually changed.

Why had it changed? The reason was simple: because now she was the one being hugged.

Mephilia looked at Liana in her arms. From her angle, she could see Liana’s pink strawberry, which was very tempting.

However, Mephilia didn’t taste this tempting thing, just glanced at the time and saw it was already nine o’clock.

If they continued fooling around, they probably wouldn’t be able to go downstairs until ten, and Mephilia was very clear that there were many people waiting for them downstairs. But most importantly, their movements would be heard downstairs.

“Liana, it’s time to get up.” Mephilia said softly.

“Mm...” Liana responded, rubbing her head against Mephilia’s chest.

“Haha, that tickles.” Mephilia was tickled by Liana, but then noticed something was amiss.

As Liana was rubbing, she had undone one of Mephilia’s buttons.

Liana, with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a strange protrusion rubbing against her cheek. Liana tried to press it down, but the more she pressed, the harder it became.

Liana frowned slightly and opened her mouth to bite it.

“Eh?! Mm...” Mephilia let out a seductive moan.

Liana finally opened her eyes, looked at the current situation, and realized things were not looking good.

“Baby Liana, no matter how much you suck, nothing will come out.” Mephilia fondly patted Liana’s head.

“Wait!” Liana abruptly released her mouth, seeing the spot that had already turned red from her biting.

“Um...” Liana’s brain was racing, trying to explain something, but couldn’t say a word for a long time.

But Mephilia didn’t mind and laughed, “It’s okay, it’s only human nature.”

“What do you mean ‘human nature’?!”

Oh! It really was; Mephilia had done the same thing yesterday!

“Hahahah~” Mephilia looked at Liana, her eyes full of doting affection. “I like it when you show me this side of yourself, Liana. I’m very happy. If you have such needs, you can come to me anytime, and I’ll satisfy you.”

“...” Liana covered her head, damn it, she would never sleep in again. “It’s just that while dreaming, I smelled your scent...”

“...” This statement from Liana also made Mephilia a bit overwhelmed. If it were nighttime, Mephilia would have directly launched an attack on Liana.

But now there were people waiting for them, so naturally, they couldn’t do anything strange.

But would it be weird if they went down together? Forget it, what’s there to be weird about? They had slept together, so wasn’t it normal to go downstairs together after waking up?

Mephilia changed into the clothes she needed for going out, wrapped a scarf, looked at the warm pantyhose and shoes, then turned to Liana, “Do you need my help?”

Liana had already put on the clothes Mephilia had prepared for her yesterday and shook her head, “No need. Mephilia, you go down first?”

It seemed Liana was thinking the same as her earlier; she might be a bit embarrassed. “Alright.”

After Mephilia went downstairs, Liana opened the drawer and took out a ring. Now, this ring had a blue gemstone on it. The reason for choosing this color was simple: because Mephilia’s eye color was light blue, which suited her well.

And this gemstone wasn’t an ordinary one; it was a gemstone created by Liana herself, and it had been specially improved to absorb mana. But when the mana was filled, it wouldn’t crack; it would just stop on its own.

This ring could serve as a mana storage, though not much, but enough to be safe. And unlike containers like magic stones that required one’s own infusion, Liana’s gemstone could absorb any type of mana, and it wouldn’t explode.

“I hope Mephilia will be happy.” After putting the ring away, Liana also went downstairs.

After simply enjoying breakfast, they drove to the back garden.

“Princess Liana... and Princess.” Jasmine and the other saw a familiar person getting off the carriage.

“Long time no see.” Mephilia greeted them. “I’m really grateful to both of you for taking care of Liana during this time, teaching her how to use magic.”

“There’s no need to be so polite with us, Princess. Besides, Princess Liana is truly a genius when it comes to magic, with a full aptitude for it, very good at drawing inferences. Often when we teach Princess Liana one magic spell, she would use what she learned that day as an example and learn three spells from one.”

But for their praise, Liana would usually use just one excuse, “It’s all because of Mephilia, and has nothing to do with me. It was Mephilia who told us that magic can be changed, she who reinvented the rules of this world, so I just thought about what would happen if I recombined the magic I learned.”

Mephilia glared at Liana. Here we go again!

Liana always liked to attribute her own achievements to Mephilia. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But don’t worry, Liana, soon everyone will know all that you’ve done.

Liana shrugged, indicating she was completely innocent.

“Today, let Mephilia teach me, and I also want to show her what I’ve learned during this time.” Liana said.

“Alright, alright.” Jasmine and Gardenia had an ‘I know’ expression. “Perfect timing, we also need to prepare for the full moon night, so we won’t disturb you.”

Since they rarely met, and had now come to the back garden, especially on such a special day, they decided to let the two have a proper date.

Mephilia held Liana’s hand, smiling sweetly, “Alright, let me see what kind of magic you’ve learned!”

They walked into the garden, which had completely different scenery and plants from the outside. The vibrant scene didn’t seem to belong to the same world as the snowy landscape outside.

They came to a lake, at the center of which was the Tree of Life. They could see Sephirena currently taking care of the Tree of Life.

This place also had a special commemorative significance for them.

Mephilia pulled Liana to a stone, “This is where we awakened your magic. At that time, I was so nervous.”

Liana directly sat on the stone, patting the spot beside her, letting Mephilia sit beside her, “I was very nervous too. What if I couldn’t use magic anymore, what would I do?”

“It’s okay, Liana, you’re already very impressive. Your ability to break conventional thinking is already the most powerful magic. Even if you couldn’t use magic, I would protect you.” Mephilia said.

“I know.” Liana placed her hand on Mephilia’s. How could Liana not know this?

It’s just that Liana didn’t want to come to another world where magic could be used, only to find herself unable to use magic. That would be something very hard for Liana to accept.

Liana stood up, “Let’s not talk about this. Rather than recalling those not-so-pleasant memories, let’s see the new magic I’ve learned!”

Today was meant to be happy; they couldn’t let small things make them unhappy.

“Alright.” Mephilia cupped her face with both hands, looking at Liana, “What kind of magic is it? Something related to gemstones?”

“Hehe.” Liana smiled mysteriously.

“「Create Gem Gun」”

A gorgeous... tube? Appeared in Liana’s hand.

It was, in actuality, a flintlock musket.

Mephilia looked at the object in Liana’s hand, feeling somewhat familiar, “Liana, is this what you did before?”

Mephilia remembered that when Liana first demonstrated this magic to her, she had asked if she could create an iron tube, and Liana had used a gemstone to send another gemstone flying out.

“Yes, but I’ve made some improvements. It doesn’t require as much mana as before.” Liana said.

“「Create Gem Bullet」”

“Is the gemstone already loaded in this tube?” Mephilia asked.

“Yes, this is called... Truth1Guilty Gear – “That is... Truth” (Gun move). In Guilty Gear, the character Happy Chaos uses a pair of magical guns named “The Truth” and “The Whole Truth.” These guns are used in tandem with spells and are powered by magical bullets, much like how Liana is loading gemstones into a barrel-shaped device. The phrase “Truth” in this context symbolizes a metaphysical weapon, truth as something you enforce or reveal through force., and what’s fired is called a bullet.” Liana patiently explained, wanting Mephilia to learn this magic too, as it might have an unexpected effect.

“Truth?” Mephilia was very familiar with this word, but when Liana said it, it felt very unfamiliar.

She couldn’t understand why the word ‘truth’ would be combined with such an object.

“Yes, the materials used can be stone, iron, or even cotton. It depends on you and what you want to use it for. Of course, gemstones like mine are even better.” Liana wasn’t bragging.

Because Liana’s gems were under her control regarding whether to detonate them and when to detonate them, they could lower others’ vigilance, make them relax their guard, and then detonate.

“Mephilia... forget it, Minoga.” Liana called out Minoga’s name loudly.

A few seconds passed, and Minoga appeared before Liana, “What is it, Princess Liana?”

This place could be said to be absolutely safe, and with the young couple dating, why would she come to join in? It was better to stay away.

But now that Princess Liana had suddenly called her over, Minoga felt that something unpleasant was about to happen.

“Stand a hundred meters away and deploy a protective barrier.” Liana said.

“...” Ah, Minoga sighed inwardly. Please speak up for me. Good things never come to her; when they need a target, they think of her.

“I understand, Princess Liana.” Minoga followed Liana’s instructions, moving to a position a hundred meters away and deploying a defensive barrier.

“Watch closely, Mephilia.” Liana raised Truth, aiming at Minoga.

Minoga, seeing the strange barrel pointed at her, felt something was wrong.

The next second, Liana pulled the trigger, and the muzzle spat fire, a gemstone bullet flying out at high speed.

With a ‘pat!’ sound, it stopped at Minoga’s barrier, causing no damage at all.

This was what Liana wanted. Liana knew very well that this couldn’t possibly threaten a Judge; having Minoga come over was just to ensure absolute safety.

Then Liana snapped her fingers, and the gemstone bullet exploded, making a slight sound. Liana hadn’t infused too much mana into it—first, it would be wasteful, and second, the other person was Minoga; why would she need to use such force?

Minoga looked at the explosive power and clapped her hands, “A very powerful weapon indeed. This is much faster than arrows, and also more convenient to carry.”

“「Create Confetti」”

Liana suddenly fired a bullet at Mephilia, though this one was filled with various types of confetti, “Depending on the purpose, creating different strange bullets will have different effects.”

“Truth?” Sephirena looked at the object in Liana’s hand, full of curiosity.

In this world, bows and arrows were still considered superior weapons, but now a weapon had been born that was dozens of times more powerful than bows and arrows. How could Sephirena not be curious?

“Truth can also be further modified to enhance its performance.” Liana’s development of Truth was far from just this. 「Create Scope」

A scope appeared on Truth, allowing Liana to see figures in the distance clearly. “Although we can use magic to enhance our vision, doing so would require using magic, which would produce mana fluctuations, alerting others that someone is using magic here. This scope solves that problem nicely.”
