FutsuYuri: I Wanted To Reincarnate Normally!! Not In This Yuri Game!!

Chapter 38

Nikami POV

Yasachu stared at the messy-haired knight, completely awestruck with her.

The messy-haired knight turned her head at Yasachu and tilted her head, smiling.

"Do you need anything?" The messy-haired knight blinked multiple times at Yasachu, asking what she desired from her.

"..." I stayed silent, watching from the sidelines as I always do.

"Don't mind the commoner, she has never seen a knight as young as you are." Shukona dismissed Yasachu's curiosity for the messy-haired knight.

"I have a question." I spoke up, staring at the messy-haired knight.

"Hm?" Shukona turned towards me, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? Very well then, I will answer it to the best of my ability." The messy-haired knight smiled at me yet again.

"Yo-you don't have to go that far…" Yasachu laughs nervously, scratching the back of her neck.

"Those gems, they are not normal gems, correct?" I pointed to the gems on her hair.

"I feel a slight source of mana in them, magic stones perhaps?" I thought, staring at the messy-haired knight.

"A-ah… Well… Yes, they are not normal stones…" The messy-haired knight smiled nervously, she never knew that someone would notice.

"I do feel mana from them… I didn't notice this until Nika pointed it out, you truly have sharp senses." Shukona stared at the gems as well.

"Sense… Mana? You can sense mana?" Yasachu seems confused, she has never heard of someone feeling mana before. She only thought that Mana was a term for the energy of magic.

"So? What are they?" I asked sternly.

"They are mana stones…" The messy-haired knight nervously smiles.

"Ma-ma-ma-mana stones?!" Shukona cried out in shock.

The messy-haired knight's tail straightened due to her being startled by Shukona's sudden yell.

"This many?!" Shukona stumbled back, her eyes widening. She covered her mouth, not believing her words.

"Really…?" I stared at her, my eyes full of suspicion.

"Ar-aren't they super rare?!" Yasachu exclaimed.

"I know you are nobles and all… But this is too much!" Yasachu stared at the gems. her spine-shivering at the presence of them.

"A-ah! These are just artificial mana stones! They are only 5 percent pure… I had the same reaction when I first heard of them."  The messy-haired Knight quickly explained, seeing our distress.

"Interesting…" I muttered, staring at the gems at her sword.

"That's strange, there wasn't anything like this in the game… Did I change this? Oh well, the game doesn't really focus that much on magic. It only focuses on one type of magic, the magic of love. That sounds cheesy, I know. But that is what the main theme of the game. This might have actually existed and we the players just didn't know… Or the universe is doing its self writing and made this in the process…" I thought, staring at them. Wondering why I haven't heard about this at all.

"Mana stones can be artificially made?!" Yasachu exclaimed once again, startled at what the messy-haired knight was talking about.

If this was really true, that would be an amazing thing to use in the daily lives of people. Since it seems that it can be mass-produced.

"Artificial mana stones? Are you joking? I have never heard about such a thing. If those really do exist, why haven't we nobles heard of it yet?" Shukona folds her arms and raises an eyebrow at the messy-haired knight.

"I-if the other nobles haven't heard of it… Where did you get it? Or even how did you get them…? I-I'm sorry if I sound rude, I'm really just curious!" Yasachu nodded, staring at the messy-haired girl.

"What type of mana stones are they?" I asked softly, curious about the stones.

The messy-haired knight felt slightly pressured, being asked by three people at once. Especially being on the spot like this… But the girl smiled kindly, happy to serve them as a knight.

"Well let's start from the beginning, I came to the school two weeks before the entrance ceremony. And the ceremony is today. Being this early in the school… Not many people were here, so I was training in the field. Being excited to train, I accidentally released wind on my knees and flew to a tree. How careless of me…" The messy-haired Knight nervously laughed, telling her story.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? You should really be careful! Control your mana properly! How inelegant." Shukona sighed, observing the messy-haired knight if she had any injuries.

"Yo-you can accidentally release your element? Eh?" Yasachu was completely confused, they knew about such things, and she didn't. This is the difference between the noble and a commoner… And more.

"..." I silently listened in to the conversation, thinking how she could have gotten these gems by being in a tree.

I looked over to the protagonist, she seems to be clueless about these types of things. But soon enough she will know a lot, so much so to get the attention of the capture targets.

"I'm alright, please do not fret." The messy-haired knight worriedly laughed.

"A teacher saw that and helped me off the tree, she asked me what was the problem… And I told her that I can't control my mana properly… it's not really much of a problem for me, since knights focus more on physical strength rather than magical strength… But these things do happen quite often, and she suggested a way to solve this problem, and she gave me these artificial mana stone hair clips…" She points to the hair clips on her hair, proving her point.

"These are regulator type Mana stones, they help me with releasing and controlling my mana." She smiled at the three of us.

"Mana Regulators… Those are very useful, many magic users have an abundance of mana but just can't control it properly…" I thought staring at the gems, still wondering which teacher made these things.

"Oh! Those sound absolutely helpful!" Yasachu exclaimed, nodding excitedly.

"So… Those came from a teacher?" Shukona looked at the messy-haired knight in disbelief.

"Indeed! She said it was only a test, and she tested it out on me… As an apology for not telling me that it was a prototype, she upgraded my sword to have these mana stones as well!" The messy-haired knight smiled at us, and looked at the hilt of her sword lovingly. She seems to really like her upgrade.

"That was a test?! And she didn't tell you?! That's re-really dangerous…" Yasachu felt concerned about the messy-haired Knight, even though she just met her.

Shukona sighed, and stared at the messy-haired Knight.

"As crazy as that sounds, I feel like you wouldn't lie. I trust that you aren't lying with this, yes?" Shukona stared at the messy-haired Knight in the eyes.

"Of course! I swear on my knight's honor that I am not lying." She swiftly took out her sword from its scabbard and stabbed it on the ground. Staring back at Shukona.

"Hmph! Swearing on your honor, you must be serious. Very well then." Shukona nodded, satisfied with this.

"Ah?! Th-this is what they call a knight's promise! Ri-right..?" Yasachu looked at the sword, stepping back a bit.

"..." I stared at the messy-haired knight, wondering when will she introduce herself… So I can finally meet Raijin right after...
