“Miss Lan, I want to learn more about Phyto’s ability.”
“Miss Lan, Mister Dongu, I want to know more about it as well. If you can spare some time, can you help me?”
I’m with Phyto, after she decided to talk to Miss Lan and Mister Dongu. She’s opened her heart to me as her friend, but her attitude can still be stiff when she talks to other people in the village. I’m glad they’re getting along better, but I hope their relationship keeps improving.
Miss Lan and Mister Dongu were talking about the village here in the square. There’s usually lots of people in this place.
“Phyto’s power… Yes, it’s important to learn more about your abilities. I don’t mind helping, but how many people do you need? Do you have a concrete plan?”
Says Miss Lan with a sparkle in her light blue eyes?
She looks really excited about being able to study something. The idea of learning new things is enough to make her happy.
Mister Dongu is next to her, and has an exasperated look on his face.
“Wait a second, Landouno. You’re too eager, and… You’re scaring Phyto.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. Your proposal was just too exciting. So, how much have you thought about this?”
Miss Lan looks like she’s calmed herself, but she’s actually still very excited on the inside. I can tell because we’ve spent so much time together.
“Hum, sorry Miss Lan. I haven’t thought about it that much. I was just thinking I need everyone’s help.”
After hearing Miss Lan, we realize we have given it much thought. We just felt it was something we had to do and came here. But she’s right, we need to think about what we want to do exactly.
I’m sure Miss Lan and Mister Dongu think about things more carefully before making proposals. I want to do the same.
I’m still eleven, but am I going to become more like them as I get older? No, it’s not a question of whether or not I’ll be like them, I have to try to be like them.
“You’re right, Miss Lan. I didn’t think about that, but I want to check how many people my ability can affect. I have been studying this ability with Lerunda and the others, but we still do not know my limit.
How many people it can affect, how much power they have compared to normal, what is its range… I want to know more about how strong this ability really is, and I want to use it to help Lerunda. That is all I can think of now. Can you think of any other ways to study this power?”
Ohh. Phyto thought about it that much. I can’t help but be impressed as Phyto smoothly gives her answer.
Other ways to study it? Hum… We know it makes using magic and doing some actions easier but… Do different dances have different powers?
“Does the effect change, depending on the dance?”
“That is a possibility, Lerunda. There is still a lot we have to learn about the ‘miko’s knights’. In fact, it seems not everything we know about them and miko from history matches what we see in the present. Ah, but we don’t need a large group to see if different dances have different effects. People in the village are busy with their own lives, so we should think about who we are going to ask to help with each test. In order to see how many people your power can affect, we are going to need a lot of villagers. And of course, I will be present to…”
“Landouno, calm down.”
Mister Dongu stops Miss Lan, who is looking excited again.
Yes, we need to ask a lot of people to help us check how many her power can affect. How powerful is the influence of her dance?
It’s hard for me to even understand it, but the miko’s power is affecting everyone in this village and everyone I see as a comrade. Does Phyto’s power have the same range? She is a ‘knight of the miko’ after all. Is its range actually shorter? Can she increase it if she tries?
But still, no matter how strong it is, I’m sure we can do fun things with it.
As we talk about this, I start to look forward to testing Phyto’s power.
