When Scarlet undid the high mithril silver armor, it peeled itself off her figure and gradually turned back into a Lardon Junior statue. I quietly watched that play out with a pensive look on my face.

“Is something the matter?” she asked.

“Oh...” I blinked sheepishly. “Well, it’s just, I made this spell called Shape Memory, but now that I think about it, something similar was probably invented already in the past. I mean, just look.”

Scarlet directed her perplexed gaze to the enchanted armor. “Oh...”

“You see? This works the same way as Shape Memory. Actually, it’s more complex. It records two ‘shapes,’ after all.”

“Which indicates there must be a more advanced version of this magic,” Scarlet concluded.

“Exactly. I’ll have to find it someday.”

“This is such a profound artifact. It would not surprise me if there were many spells at work here,” she observed, nodding solemnly. “It almost felt akin to a living being. Could that also have been some form of magic?”

“Huh?” I stared at her in shock.

“Wh-What is it, Master?”

“You said it felt like it was alive?”

“What? Oh, yes. Just vaguely.”

“Alive, hm...”

“It certainly is very nearly a living being itself,” Lardon piped in. “Most high-grade magic items are made that way for better functionality. Such is also the case for what humans oftentimes refer to as magic swords or cursed swords.”

Inspiration struck. I held my hand up toward the newly made enchanted armor and cast a spell on it: “Familia.”

“Familia?” Scarlet echoed incredulously. “Master, what are you...?”

I decided the explanation could wait for later. “Your name will be Ares,” I declared, “meaning ‘ruler of war.’”

The magic’s light enveloped the enchanted armor before being absorbed into it. Nothing about its appearance changed, but I could hear Lardon mumbling in wonder. “Goodness... What a novel idea.”

From that reaction alone, I was certain I’d succeeded. “Scarlet, try it on again.”

“Huh? Oh, of course!” She still looked a bit lost but did as I said. The Lardon Junior statue broke apart and reassembled itself as armor over her figure. “Th-This is...”

“How is it?”

“It feels much lighter than earlier—and much more powerful too!”

“How powerful?”

“I-I may be able to cast Holy Lance now.”

When she gave it a go, she indeed managed to cast the intermediate divine magic spell. It had completely sapped her of her strength when she tried it with the golden armor, but that no longer happened this time.

An amused chuckle echoed in my mind. “You’ve shown me something fascinating today. Accompanying you truly was the right decision.”

“Is this fascinating to you?”

“Of course. Even when enchanted armor was more commonplace, no human ever thought to do as you did.” It really must be that intriguing, seeing as Lardon wasn’t holding back on the praises today. “As an exception, I once named a suit for the humans to have a way of differentiating it from others, but it never came to me to turn it into a familiar.”

“Are you... You’re talking about Guardian Lardon?”

“Ah, you noticed. That is correct.”

“That was enchanted armor?”

“It was my personal suit.”

“The one you used in the Tri-Draconic War?” I asked reluctantly.
