Emotion Taster

Arc 3.5 All Round Healing: Chapter 8 - Geza's Magic Bottle

A space full of dust and spider webs. Every corner is not only dark and unkempt, decorating objects also have the impression that this house is very old. Wooden ornamental figurines in the form of animals and plants are scattered everywhere. From the forms of birds, cows, tigers, frogs, and sculptures themed miniature nature.

Pero's house has a large area for buildings that live in one person. In fact, with all of his old ornate wooden antiques and art that could take up a metre, there were still tiles left to run rampant.

The walls of the room were so high, probably more than three times my height. With the wall area like this, it was no wonder the room was filled with large paintings. But, I do not see it, the shape of a large room with a towering height makes the air circulation better.

Yes, of the many items that filled the house of Pero, there is still enough room for me to be able to move and talk. Perhaps this gave the impression of horror before, housed in a quiet area, a spacious house with one occupant sounded unconvincing. Moreover, the owner is a demon.

But I am getting used to it. All the details of this house began to be remembered in the brain and somehow can provide a sense of calm that is more than I when it first came. After all, I am a special type of person who is more affected by emotional waves than the interior of inanimate objects.

So, when the slightest wave of emotion is felt in a quiet place. I can feel it. It's like a foreign vibrate in a place without shakes.

“Hmn .. so you look at it that way yes, Kaivan,” said Pero restarting a conversation that had been interrupted.

“I was just thinking. If you just said that the bottle of Geza is almost full, maybe if one has the same Amalia can be full.”

I've rarely seen a bottle belonging to Amalia, probably the last time it was with Fany. But, it was also only an instant. Other than that Amalia didn't give me a chance, I wasn't interested from the beginning because I didn't have a purpose.

It's unclear how much magic has accumulated in Amalia's bottle now. If the amount of Imarine, Azarin, and Fany alone is not sufficient for the remaining twenty percent of the fullness of the bottle. I think it's going to be a long mission.

“Technically, your guess is correct, Kaivan. If we use where Geza's got in this bottle, Lia's bottle will be full and the magic contract with me will be completed.”

Ah ... so it is. The opportunity is wide open. But ....

“From the way you talk, you don't seem to support the plan? Is there a problem if for example we use Geza's magic bottle?”

My eyesight may be wrong, since Pero is not actually a full human being, he is a raven demon. Even though I felt like I had a human aura, sometimes it just disappeared with a completely different way of thinking. So, the feeling when Pero was not excited about the topic of taking where Geza, my instinct, said that Peter had just explained half of his thoughts in my heart.

“If you see the immediate side effects, nothing is wrong. A witch still legitimately uses the magic that others collect. In fact, history says that the tradition of inheriting mana was tightly grasped by the witches of old times.”

“Hoo ... does that mean there are indirect side effects?” askaku who follows the flow of the conversation.

“Un, arguably like that,” replied Pero while nodding small. “Maybe you said this is weird. But, when you use the mana in the bottle, then all the memories of the people who source the magic will unite with the witch. Especially, for recent memories where the cause of such emotional outbursts appears. So, I do not agree to the use of mana because Geza—”

“Okay, Pero. I understand now,” I say cut.

“...”

“...”

When my speech cuts, like Pero translating it as a form of silence doesn't say much. He thought I would talk back and explain. But, because I was silent, she was silent, let alone the mute Amalia, a few seconds into silence.

“Huft .. hah ..” my breath tries to melt the atmosphere again. “If it is not necessary to use it, I also from the beginning did not expect from Geza to be taken where he is.”

“Ah .. I like men who quickly understand.”

“But, sorry. I don't intend to have a deep connection with stealth.”

“You do not need to apologize, because I also do not intend to,” replied Pero in a flat tone like normal speech. Not a joking tone, not an angry tone, nor is it an evasive tone of romantic embarrassment. “At least I'm happy that you're hurting right now, not your head,” and then it's all backed up with a very realistic follow-up.

The sentence that came out of Pero does not show romantic at all, he also does not show young colors like a kasmaran teenager, everything that comes out of his mouth like old tips. But, if the so-called wise is also not very precise, he has thoughts about his own mind that sometimes misses from humanity. All that may be right, the appearance of Pero in human form is exactly like an adult woman aged over thirty.

“I will ignore the word from the negative side. So, I'd say that statement says I have a price in front of your eyes, Pero.”

“Wicked too, whereas I never considered you a burden at all.”

“Heh, I never know what's in your head actually,” I replied a little cynical.

Actually the reason I can accept Pero's feelings of rejection is because I've already felt it myself. About the mana taking, when the shards of mana flow into the body there will be a reaction in which I receive all those feelings and memories.

Actually it's not a side effect, to be honest when I feel it no side effects suffered. It's like I'm looking at the thanks of those who have been helped before directly from the camera of the heart.

However, it will be different for which case belongs to Geza.

From Geza's own confession, he gathered mana from granting the request of the person who wanted to kill himself. Although the results he took were true of a mana of emotional overflow, but still what was done was questionable as a form of humanity. Perhaps he who managed to gather mana was proof that all the people he killed were really happy. But, this becomes a bit of a problem when where it is used.

Pero's explanation has proven that what I saw and felt in the hall about the memory of the owner is no coincidence. That means, if Amalia uses Geza's mana, she'll see all the memories of the man who was killed by Geza. Of course it's not a good thing in terms of the psyche of a high school girl.

I myself am a person who has felt the pain of death, this emotion detection ability makes me able to feel many things. Moreover, lately I have been getting stab wounds and severe sayat. I understand the pain, and if it's seen by Amalia over and over again, I'm not surprised she'll be in shock. From the amount of mana collected, I can be sure that the number of people Geza killed was enough to traumatize.

“Alright, the topic of the Geza bottle is closed. I just want to tell you the news that can be said to be good for the witch's death. So, we can forget it for a while,” said Pero while returning to take Geza's magic bottle and put it into the table drawer. “Again, I'm sure Lia also doesn't want a way that looks like cheating like using the work of others. Right ‘kan, Lia?”

Pero who had placed the magic bottle glanced at Lia. Indeed, when we jumped into the debate, I sometimes forgot the existence of the girl.

“...”

Huh uh?

I saw Amalia play her eyes a little. He moved his head nervously and tried to avoid stares when the question was thrown. His eyes were a little shopping, his mouth was open like nervous, until he finally ventured to look directly at Pero's face while nodding small.

Ahaha, I know that.

Along with her emotional waves, I understood that Amalia had doubts about the decision. It was likely that if he used mana it appeared in his head for a moment. But, he read the situation and followed the positive conjecture from Pero just now.

Huft .. hah ....

I breathed out a complaint in lieu of a comment looking at Amalia's behavior.

“What's that Geza bottle you keep for? If it is not made why not just throw it away?”

“Delayed? Sure don't,” answer in a subtle tone. “Although we do not use this, but it does not oppose the fact that which emotional breakdown is a valuable object.”

“Hmn .. so, you still have to keep it from others.”

“Iya. But, more precisely I keep this from other witches.”

Okay, I got it.

The situation in that place had already subsided. With a lighter atmosphere, I casually turned around and walked away leaving the two of them.

*Step, step, step

I took a few steps until I got to the middle of the room to make some distance.

“Wait, you want to go, Kaivan?”

“It's no use for me here now. I just want to report, talk a little, and of course bring Amalia to you, that's all,” said I who did not slow down the road at all to leave them.

“I think we still have an appointment. Then, besides that promise also you still need to help Lia practice with her magic.”

“You don't have to worry, I know what I'm doing. When it comes to training, just wait until I am completely healed,” answered me who this time a little screamed due to the distance that was getting away.

Huft .. hah ....

At a time like this, at least I want one person to stroke my head and let my body sleep well. The raven demon seems to still see Amalia as the main need. I don't protest, but at least I want him to treat me more humanely.

My steps finally reached the entrance, the air from the outside caressing the clothes started to feel due to the temperature difference. With no one to stop anymore, I with all my weight momentarily let Amalia herself in there.
