Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer



[Eon's POV: ]

[[ "What do you mean "what are you"? Don't you know already? I'm grandma's successor, Axion." ]]

[[ Axion who?! And who's this grandma?! And why the hell do I sense my master's presence from you?! ]]

[[ "Your master's presence? You mean Zoe's presence? She's my sister so why wouldn't you feel her presence from me?" ]]

[[ No! I wasn't talking about her! And why is she your sister?! And why is it that you would have your sister's presence in the first place?! Do you two…!? ]]

[[ Calm down Rayray. Whatever you are thinking is wrong. Take a deep breath and calm down. ]]

[[ "Right, calm down and listen to them, or else you will be listening to me and Celes on this bullshit of yours." ]]

[[ Sister Elle is right! Rayray is a pervert! ]]

[[ Now who are these two?! ]]

[[ "First of all, there's too much commotion going on here. Calm down or I will cut off everyone's connections." ]]

Everyone was speaking right after one another so everything was getting confusing for this new guy who knew nothing about how things worked between us. 

He was in even more panic because he was confusing me with something entirely else perhaps. The poor guy was in shock for some reason.

I had to hear him out and sort out things with him but we cannot do that with everyone talking at the same time and him misunderstanding things even further by the simple-sounding things that I was saying.

[[ "Huuuu… ok. Looks like everyone has calmed down now. So, I will correct myself there, Rayray.

You see, my master was like my grandmother. Actually, it wasn't as if she was like my grandmother, she was much more than that to me. And perhaps, I was something similarly special to her so, that is that for our relationship, and, as for Zoe, when she was leaving, in her last moments, she gave me her stigma and a special parting gift that resides inside me. Perhaps those are the things that you sense to be her right now.

Zoe and I have a unique relationship, however, not in that way. 

She is someone I will protect, support, and cherish as best as I can and, the lady with a beautiful voice who spoke up at the end there, that my love, my life, and the one I give myself to. 

You must be surprised how this entire conversation is happening right now as well, right? Well, that's thanks to my familiar, Celestine, who also happens to be a Crystal butterfly like you, however, she is pretty young so she perhaps doesn't know much about her powers yet.

Master taught her many things though. So, she knows how to use her [Perfect disguise] Skill pretty well.

And, she can create her clones through which we are communicating right now." ]]

That was quite a long explanation but that should have been enough to at least calm him down and give him some idea of what was happening right now…

[[ Looks like she ended up finding more than a successor in those last days hunnn? ]]

His voice seemed, relieved. As if a huge burden had lifted off his shoulder… not that he had shoulders. This is just metaphorical.

'He sure sounded much more positive than before though. That's better.'

[[ Haaaa… alright. So, to sum things up, you and my previous master had a very close relationship and she not only gave you her stigma as her parting gift but all her knowledge condensed in the form of some kind of skill, am I right? ]]

[[ "Certainly. That's pretty much right." ]]

[[ Ok then I will need a few weeks to process just how the fuck this is possible. ]]

[[ "Rayray! Manners!" ]]

[[ Yes Rayray! Manners! How can you curse at my master? Do you want a beating?! ]]

'Celes was angry and was talking about beating up someone bigger than her, lol. That's my girl~. Go beat him up~. Teach him a lesson~.'

Ahem! No. On another thought, it was pretty much possible he would lose to Celes in an actual confrontation.

She was pretty much an all-rounder while he was just a support specialist. 

He could help a weak party of adventurers slay a draconian species with his skills, but he couldn't even deal with a creature of mere (Red) rank if it actually came to a one-to-one confrontation. 

He was pretty weak, but, his strength wasn't his own battle power. He could elevate someone else's abilities beyond the heavens if he really wanted. That's how he had earned the nickname [Annoying tonic] from my master. But, I myself have never experienced his buffs so, I have pretty much no idea just how effective they were.

[[ Someone gives this little girl a glowing flower. Beating me after learning only the 'interpersonal communication', 'link', 'utilize', and 'channel', haah! You still have a long way to go until you achieve your maximum potential young one… ah, right. Master, can you hold the hand of your 'brother' so I can check her potential for myself?

I have come across plenty of my kind and it's also been a long while since I last went back to 'that place' so, seeing this young one piques my curiosity. ]]

Hmmm. I don't understand what he just said but he undoubtedly complimented my Celes in a roundabout manner. Tsun-tsun butterfly bastard.

He could just say she was amazing. She was just a little over five years old. How can she be compared to this old bastard… I don't know how old he is or if he is even a day old but, he had far more experience with his powers and the world than anyone else here. He certainly has more knowledge than my Celes still, it doesn't mean he can beat her in any way. 

'Bastard.'

[[ "Big brother?" ]]

She was giggling while hiding her face like she always does when she finds something funny. 

'I knew me cursing her familiar because he had cursed at my familiar after she scolded him for cursing at me is some of the funniest things for her. I could feel she was having a joyous time right now all by herself while we were almost on the verge of a Great War.'

Haaaa…

Anyway, I held her hand and her familiar mark that was so big it was almost covering her forearm. But, it looked pretty and suited her, so, it was fine. We can hide it later with Celes's ability so it was alright for now.

[[ Hmmmm… hmmmmm… hmmmmmmmmmmmm… I see. Alright. ]]

Rayray took his sweet three minutes to figure out whatever he was figuring out. Even Carla had walked up the stage and was beginning her summoning now… by the way, Rein won the last round of our bettings. She said Zoe's familiar was as cute as Celes and, things turned out this way, so she was the one and only clear winner. My horribly lucky witch.

[[ Ok you two, listen here. ]]

And now, this guy's voice contained seriousness for the first time for some reason. Looks like he will finally say something meaningful now.

[[ I can't see the end of her potential. ]]

Or perhaps not. He was really useless as Grandma always said.

[[ And I'm not saying this because I'm useless so don't you dare even think anything like that. ]]

Warning people after things were said and over… this side of him was the same as well.

[[ What do you mean you can't see the end of my potential mister?! Master used to say I'm special and talented! How can't you see something as simple as my potential?! Look again! It should be right there! ]]

She didn't even know what he was talking about and was ordering him around to check again. She really has learned some good things from us.

[[ Of course, she would say you are a special and talented, little girl. And the problem isn't that I can't find your potential. From what I can see, there seems to be no end to your potential. As if… no. You people won't understand without context and this doesn't seem to be a good time or place to talk about something like that.

Haaaaa… she left quite a bunch for me, hunh. Haaaaa…

Anyway, let's just say our Celes here is so special and talented that there might be no one else like her in this entire nature. In fact… nah. Let's just talk about this some other time. 

Look over there. Seems like one of your friends summoned something interesting. ]]

Ok so, he was saying Celes was so special there was no one else like her. Isn't this something we all already know?

How can there be someone as special as my Celes? She's literally the best one out there.

He didn't have to say the facts and stop at the good parts. The bastard was now making me curious!

'I don't know much about the crystal butterflies. No one does actually. All that I know is from three personal dirties written by people who had a crystal butterfly or knew someone who had one closely enough to have studied them for a long time.

But, even those books contained pretty much nothing.

I knew more about her kind after spending these years with her than mentioned in those books, but, I knew for a fact that what I knew about her was not even the surface of what her kind was capable of.

'They were quite literally the only creatures in the world who could use the power of their possessor's origin unrestrictedly. It implied a lot of things and gave them a lot more diversity in using the unique skills they were born with. And still, there was a great lot unknown about them than one can think.'

I knew little about Celes and was still learning something new every single day, but now that we had someone like Rayray with us, someone who perhaps knew a lot more about his kind than any of us, things will get more enlightening in the future.

But, he isn't saying anything further. 

Looks like we gave him a little too strong of a shock, hehe.

But, he was right. 

Something interesting was going on the stage.

And, just like previously, no… actually, this was the first time something like this was happening.

'Carla, a knight, summoning not something anyone would have expected… I knew she would get a familiar! See. I win this round~.'

She got her familiar, and, she looked emotional. For the first time in a while…
