Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

「That really is the worst experiment.」

Listen properly, Sakura-chan.

「Since we don't have to risk ourselves to inflict deep wounds, you can find the limit of your healing far more easily. Things such as reconnecting torn-off limbs, growing a new limb, stopping the bleeding… I want you two to have a deeper understanding of your own abilities.」

「This is too inhuman.」

「We can conduct poison and healing experiments at the same time, this is a revolutionary idea, like hitting two birds with one stone.」

Sakura's cold gaze was piercing into my confident eyes.

Are you convinced now? 

「… Sakura, let's do as he says.」

「Nii-san!!」

「Healing magic is our lifeline. We have to depend on your magic when push comes to shove.」

「S-Souma-kun, I…」

「Himeno-san, shut up for a moment.」

Souma-kun is in the middle of persuading Sakura right now, give them their own space.

「There's no way we can defeat Yamata no Orochi unscathed. That's why we have to raise our healing ability too.」

「… I understand. Sure enough, we have to depend on my healing when push comes to shove.」

「That's right. The method to raise your ability is a bit of a problem but… Just endure it for now.」

「Can't be helped then, if even Nii-san says so, I've no choice but to agree.」

「Well, best rega~rds.」

「How about showing a bit of gratitude here, Momokawa!」

The one who said "I'll do it" was Sakura-chan herself. Just how conceited was she for wanting someone else to thank her for her own decision?

「I'll prepare poison to test on them. I'll call you when they need complete recovery.」

With this, we secured goma lab rat.

Honestly speaking, I don't think that poison would work on Yamata no Orochi, and improving those two’s healing abilities wouldn't go as easily as it seems. Alas, we had no choice but to do what we could do.

We had time, resources, and manpower. Leaving everything to the will of god wasn't my style.

「Hey, Takanashi-san.」

「Uhm, wha~t?」

When I called out to the sage-sama stationed near the entrance, she didn't even try to hide her displeasure.

「Ah, don't stop your hand, keep listening as you did your job.」

「U~hm.」

Thus, she continued the alchemy of fusing the light stone with a vexed face. Since this place was the one place that worked far behind schedule, I couldn't afford to let her delay the work even further.

「Can you read this?」

「I ca~n't.」

「Look properly.」

「E~h」

「And don't stop your hands.」

「Momokawa-kun, Kotori will go there if you're disturbing her work!」

Never expected her to get angry.

Good grief, youth these days. How many years ago was such a phrase used?

「Well, if you can read it, you would understand at a glance.」

I looked at the note that I showed to her.

The thing written in there was the magic circle of the gomas.

That altar wasn't something that came naturally from the dungeon, it was obviously written by the goma. The surface of the main lithograph used to carve the magic circle was obviously polished and leveled, because the other surface was still rough. And then, including the pedestal, the ornaments around such as bone, pelt, and flower were obviously handmade.

Maybe that goma king, otherwise known as Ouma, had already created a communication magic tool for gomas.

Just that alone was enough evidence to prove the ability of Ouma. Since he invented a completely different mage craft, his alchemy skill could be on par or higher than that of Takanashi.

His real ability was still unknown, but I should keep this matter in mind since the magic circle on that altar was truly a source of worry.

Since it was a new magic circle that I saw for the first time, I drew the magic circle in detail in my notebook, just in case. I drew this magic circle on the table in the fairy plaza while my shadow was looking at the magic circle in the tower.

There were two pictures of the goma magic circle: the initial state, and the state when it was used for communication with Ouma.

When I showed both the magic circles to that sage-sama who was working in the fairy plaza, the answer I got was literally a snappy remark.

「So this really is a goma magic system, completely different from the one used by us.」

In the first place, my curse itself was a strange one, I doubt it used the same system as the other sorcery system.

As for the Hinagiku-style curse, I noticed due to its name it resembled the common sorcery system. As for Ruinhilde-sama's curse system, its name was rather poetic. Even the flavour of their text was a bit…

「Yup, no need to forcefully use this if this is useless.」

However, when I compared it with the note I used for learning the ancient language that was left behind by Yamajun, I noticed that some letters written in goma magic circle resembled some letters in the ancient language.

Moreover, I sincerely asked Kotori about the translation of ancient language and secretly transcribed the alchemy formation used by her.

Such a casual manner might be unbecoming for the research of ancient language, but since I have come to familiarize myself with that nowadays, I have begun to get used to it. Moreover, I discovered several similarities in the letter used in goma magic circle.

Perhaps both gomas and humans use the same ancient language as their source to create their own magic system.

If that were the case, as long as I could see the difference and similarities in goma magic circle, I might be able to read the goma's enigmatic letter.

Nevertheless, since I didn't have ancient language decoding skills, I had a long way to go before I could really understand their meaning.

「Yup, deciphering the language is impossible, after all…」

I mean, just looking at these mysterious moon runes alone was enough to make me feel slee――
