Azure rhombus-shaped thin slices rotated in the air, their perfectly smooth surfaces reflecting dazzling golden light.
Fern closed her palm, and the rhombus-shaped thin slices instantly vanished without a trace.
"What is this?"
Yulian furrowed his brow. Could it be that Fern stayed up all night researching this thing?
It looked very similar to defensive Magic.
"A new Magic technique, I call it the Crystalline Shield."
Fern pursed her lips and said apologetically to Yulian.
"I developed this based on ordinary offensive Magic yesterday."
"It seems it can defend against my demon-breaking Magic?"
Yulian silently came to this conclusion.
Thinking Yulian was angry, Fern quickly explained.
"I'm sorry, Yulian!"
"But this wasn't intentionally researched to counter Yulian's Magic!"
"It's just that while I was researching ordinary offensive Magic, I suddenly thought, what if ordinary offensive Magic also gathered magical power by increasing preparation time, like other Magic, making it more powerful...?"
Fern paused, thinking about what she had just said.
Hearing it like that, it really did sound like she had researched it based on Yulian's demon-breaking Magic...
She researched a defensive technique for demon-breaking Magic in just one night...?
Terrifying talent!
"It's alright, Fern—"
Yulian snapped back to reality and also extended and opened his own palm.
Compared to what Fern researched, uh...
Crystalline Shield (what a chuunibyou name), Yulian silently scoffed.
A purple triangular thin slice, about seventy percent similar to the Crystalline Shield Fern researched, appeared in his hand.
"As expected, you also have a defensive method yourself—"
Frieren looked at the purple triangular thin slice that appeared in Yulian's hand and thoughtfully extended her own hand.
A shimmering white square thin slice also appeared in Frieren's hand.
However, compared to Fern's and Yulian's, Frieren's shimmering white square thin slice was slightly less smooth.
"What... what's going on...?"
Fern was dumbfounded by the two of them.
"It's very normal—"
Yulian said with a smile.
"With offensive Magic, defensive Magic will naturally be developed."
"I was originally thinking of teaching it to you, but I didn't expect you to have already researched it yourselves."
"So that's how it is!"
Fern's mouth was slightly agape. She had been ashamed earlier for researching defensive Magic against demon-breaking Magic.
She didn't expect Mr. Yulian had already prepared to teach it to her...
"I don't need it, mine is fine too."
Frieren pouted. After a short period of refinement, the shimmering white crystalline thin slice in her hand had become perfectly smooth.
One researched for just a few months, the other for just one night and... freaks!
Yulian no longer wanted to use "geniuses" to describe the two of them!
Only "freaks" would do!
After all, even he had spent several years developing the corresponding defensive technique!
"So Fern snatched my Magic Grimoire yesterday and secretly read it until dawn."
"In that case, I might as well have read it too."
Frieren quietly grumbled.
"It... it really was like that..."
Fern's face fell in helplessness. Her listless appearance made Yulian unable to resist gently patting her beautiful little purple head again.
"But staying up late yesterday is fine, just make sure to get up early tomorrow~"
Yulian said with a smile.
"After all, getting up early these past few days was all for tomorrow~"
"Mhm mhm!"
"Don't worry, Yulian!"
Fern waved her fists in assurance.
"It doesn't matter, I'll stay up late."
=ω=
Frieren said proudly.
Yulian rolled his eyes at Frieren, the words he wanted to grumble remaining unspoken.
He just silently prayed that they would definitely get up early, or his efforts these past few days would be in vain!
...
"Buzz buzz!"
"Buzz buzz!"
The vibration of magical power startled Yulian awake.
Yulian hurriedly looked out the window. Fortunately, only a faint light was starting to appear.
There's still a chance!
Yulian casually put on his slippers and ran to the next room, his expression complex.
Without a doubt, Fern and Frieren had overslept again!
"Fern, Frieren, get up!"
"The sun is rising!"
Is it... Yulian?
Fern groggily opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in them.
Get up... sunrise...
New Year's celebration, sunrise over the sea!
Fern's eyes snapped open as she looked towards the window. A faint light had already quietly begun to shine!
"Got it, Mr. Yulian!"
Fern responded to Yulian's call, then started prying off Frieren's hands that were tightly holding onto her.
She began calling out to Frieren.
"Okay, then I'll go wash up first and prepare breakfast."
Having received a response, Yulian no longer stood at the door. He immediately returned to his room, put on his clothes and shoes, and started washing up.
Yulian sat in the lobby downstairs at the inn, waiting for a while, before he saw Fern and Frieren quickly coming down from upstairs.
Hmm...
More accurately, it was Fern pulling Frieren, who was taking small, quick steps, down.
"Let's eat breakfast on the way, hurry!"
The sky brightened, and the sun, like a salted duck egg yolk, had already revealed a corner!
No time to explain!
"Mr. Yulian, get on!"
Fern extended one hand towards Yulian, while her other hand had already summoned her staff!
A cold, soft touch came over him.
Yulian had a bad feeling!
"Let's go!"
Magical power surged wildly!
"Flight Magic!"
Fern rapidly advanced through the air, carrying one large and one small person!
Even causing bursts of air-breaking sounds!
"It's so cold!"
Yulian couldn't help but have tears and snot streaming down his face in the strong wind!
"What, is there not much time left?"
Fern chuckled softly.
"Then I'll go even faster!"
"Break through the air!"
"Mama!"
Accompanied by Yulian's scream, the few of them finally arrived at the seaside successfully.
The sun quietly rose from the horizon. The sky gradually changed from deep blue to light blue, then to orange-red and gold, and finally, the sunlight covered the entire ocean.
The boundless sea brought a deep sense of awe, and the dazzling golden light sparkled in Fern's eyes.
Warm, not dazzling.
It seemed anyone would be struck with awe by this magnificent sight!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. This was the unique tranquility and beauty brought by the sunrise over the sea!
"So beautiful!"
Fern's lips were slightly parted. The feeling in her heart was immeasurable, but only these two simple words came to her mouth.
"It's just average."
Frieren gently nodded. Undeniably, the scenery was indeed good.
But it seemed it could only be described as average.
"Sniff!"
Yulian sniffed, his expression mournful and indignant.
But he didn't want to spoil Fern's mood.
He could only remain silent with his mouth closed.
Who knew that Frieren, who had experienced Fern's death flight with him, was completely fine!
While he was in a miserable state!
"But... it really is beautiful."
Fern looked back at the two of them, smiling slightly from the heart.
The girl's long, straight purple hair floated freely in the sea breeze, and her gentle smile was even more captivating.
Accompanied by the magnificent picture scroll of the sunrise over the sea as a backdrop!
Yulian simply didn't know how to describe this scene of ultimate beauty!
"So beautiful!"
Yulian was stunned, and in the end, he could only blankly utter two words.
Frieren, you can enjoy it.
The beauty of the sunrise over the sea...
Everything beautiful was reflected in Frieren's beautiful gem-like eyes.
Familiar words also echoed in Frieren's ears!
