Chapter 94: The Fifth Head and May

“You grew a horn? Are you a monster?” Aria asked with her short spear at the ready. She was startled by the girl’s sudden change.

“What a terrible misunderstanding. But we can correct that later,” the girl replied.

She wasn’t just angry; there was something more to it. There was a most curious pressure emanating from a girl who seemed younger than us.

Though startled by this bizarre scene, Eva and Miranda drew their weapons. They reacted incredibly fast, but the girl was faster. In an instant, she had closed the distance between us.

Miranda hurriedly threw a knife, which the girl caught between her fingers. All without even sparing a glance in that direction.

Before Eva could even draw her lightning, there was a flash of light, and her quiver was destroyed.

To the two of them, the girl said, “Could you quiet down for a bit? I’m very angry right now.” She then came right up to me and stared at the Jewel.

“What’s going on here?” the fourth head asked in a panic. “Can she hear our voices? No one’s ever been able to do that before.”

Is this because of the Jewel’s instability?

I took a drawing slice with my saber, and the girl easily snapped my sword with a horizontal swing of her hand. The broken blade spun in the air before stabbing into the ground some distance away. She then reached for the Jewel at my chest, prompting me to leap back.

Clenching her outstretched hand, the girl looked at me. “What did you do?” she muttered. “What did you do to Fredriks?”

Miranda took out a new weapon and said, “By Fredriks, you mean...?”

But Eva caught on even before her. “You mean Lyle’s ancestor?”

To have her turn my ancestors’ accolades into songs, I’d told Eva quite a few things about them. That was probably why it immediately came to mind.

The girl stared closely at my face. “Hmm, you’re his descendant? You do have a...vague resemblance, I guess. But that doesn’t mean you can just lock Fredriks away.”

“Wait! Listen to me. This is—”

Before I could even begin to explain, the fifth head cried out from within the Jewel. “May, if you can hear me, then listen! I haven’t been imprisoned. You mustn’t fight Lyle!”

But his voice didn’t reach her. Neither did his intent. To be more precise...

“I can feel Fredriks’s mana. He’s trying to reach out to me. Strongly.”

“That’s pointless, then!” the fourth exclaimed.

It seemed she could tell he was shouting something, but that wasn’t enough to correct the misunderstanding.

“You’re kidding me...” groaned the fifth, despairing that his voice couldn’t reach it.

“Ah, fifth head. Now you’ve done it,” the third head chided.

And with a troubled voice, the fifth head replied, “We’re in for a world of trouble if she takes the Jewel. It’ll be practically impossible to get it back from a qilin.”

The Jewel was linked to my mana. Apparently, this link was maintained regardless of the distance between us, but if that distance got too great, I’d no longer be able to use Arts.
