“Huh?!” I heard a splash behind me, and Lulum cried out in surprise. “I-It’s so cute! And it can talk?!”

“Eek...”

“What kind of monster is it? Is it your pet?”

“Pet? I guess she’s something like that,” I replied.

“M-Master Seika...”

“Sorry, but I’m not in the mood to answer any more questions.”

“All right.” Lulum relented with surprising ease. “Then can I pet her next time?”

“If there is a next time.”

“Seriously?” Yuki grumbled.

Lulum giggled softly and I glanced at the divine demon without fully turning around. Lulum was submerged in the spring on her back with her eyes closed. “How did you know she was there?”

“I have the ability to see energy,” Lulum explained, opening her eyes slightly. “The energy flowing through the earth, the energy inside objects, and of course, the energy people and monsters have from birth.”

“So you can sense magical power?”

“I can do that too, but that’s not all there is to it. Truth be told, I’m not entirely sure what it is myself.”

Techniques for seeing dragon veins and cursed energy were commonplace in my previous world. They could be learned through practice with a little talent. Any sort of diviner could do it. However, I had never heard of anything of the sort in this world. The study of energy probably hadn’t progressed enough for Lulum to even know what she was seeing.

“That’s how I noticed your pet—I felt some sort of different presence. It was so small I didn’t even notice it at first.”

“That explains it.”

“I also know another secret of yours,” Lulum said quietly.

Immediately shaken, I braced myself.

“I’m not trying to threaten you or anything,” Lulum continued uneasily. “Those girls don’t know, right? I swear I won’t tell anyone.”

I couldn’t trust that. I wasn’t sure what she had discovered, but depending on what it was, I might have to eliminate her. I would end up repeating my previous life if I wasn’t careful.

“I probably should have just played dumb, but this might be connected to the person we’re searching for, so I need to know for sure. Seika, you have divine demon blood, don’t you?”

Silence overtook us as though emerging from the mountain itself. Dumbfounded, I just said the first words that came to mind. “Do I?”

“Huh?” Lulum stood up in the spring, clearly thrown off.

“Where did that come from?” I asked, averting my eyes from her pale skin. “I don’t know. You’re probably misreading something.”

“Th-There’s no way!” Lulum shouted in denial. “Do you not realize it yourself? Your magical power isn’t like a human’s. It’s much closer to a divine demon’s.”

“I don’t have any magical power. My talisman spells use a different form of energy. I found that out from a ritual, not just a measurement by a magic item, so I’m pretty sure it’s accurate.”

“No.” Lulum shook her head. “Everyone has magical power. If you eat and breathe, then you’re born with it. Even if you have so little that you can’t cast spells.”

“You can see that?”

“Yes.” Lulum nodded.

It seems like she can see even fainter sources of energy than I can, I thought to myself.
