The moon was shedding enough light into the room to illuminate it, and it created a rather romantic atmosphere. Having a romantic atmosphere meant nothing, however, with only another man present. Soma had considered turning on the lights, but the need for that had been quickly eliminated—Iori had done it himself with magic. He’d said it was to reduce the wear and tear on the disposable magic tools they used to turn on the lights, but...

“Is this some kind of harassment toward me? If you want to fight, then I’m fully willing to take you up on that even at this hour.”

“Huh? Why would it be... Oh, right, you always said you’d like to use magic. So you actually can’t now?”

“‘Actually?’ Why can you use magic?”

“I think it makes less sense that you can’t... I mean, I heard that whoever comes to this world from our old one is supposed to be able to use it.”

This was news to Soma. Not even Hildegard had told him that. Maybe she’d known and not told him, or maybe she hadn’t known... It was even possible that she’d just forgotten to mention it. She didn’t seem to realize, but she could be absent-minded at times. While it was definitely valuable information, it was entirely possible that she’d meant to tell him and forgotten.

But...

“Hmm... Really, now?”

“Yeah, apparently our old world is on a higher plane than this one or something. That also means our souls are relatively higher in status; each one actually contains a majority of the inborn talents in this world. Of course, there are still individual differences.”

“I understand. But...how do you know this?”

Yes, that was the issue. Hildegard was a former god and had apparently encountered the gods of this world, so it would be no wonder if she knew things like that. But was this really something that a mere former hero should be able to know, even if he was a Dark Lord?

Soma narrowed his eyes toward Iori’s nonchalant face. Iori, however, simply shrugged. “Well, I’ve been through a lot, I guess. Enough to end up as a Dark Lord.”

“Hmm...” Soma mumbled with a shrug. That checked out for him; this fundamentally lazy man wouldn’t have taken the role of Dark Lord without a very good reason to. And if that was the case, then it was no wonder that he’d gained some information that Soma wouldn’t know.

“Makes sense to you?”

“I see no reason that it wouldn’t. But I also see no reason to forgive you for being able to use magic.”

“How come? C’mon, forgive me.”

“I refuse.”

They glared at each other for a split second, then burst into laughter. This had happened from time to time since he’d reunited with Iori, and it was a very nostalgic feeling.

“Oh yeah, before I forget... Thanks.”

“What’s this all of a sudden... It feels uncomfortable, to be frank.”

“I’m thanking you. Just accept it.”

“How should I, when I don’t even understand what you’re thanking me for?”

“Yeah, that’s fair... But you should have some idea, right? I mean for Aina’s magic.
