LVI.

The ‘first card’ used by a card master is different in many ways from the cards used for general fortune-telling. Aside from the fact that it is a tool that grants unimaginable power to those who qualify, of course.

The biggest feature is, of course, the material of the card.

It may be because it was created a long time ago, but it is made from the shell of a dimension tree that no longer exists and was used as a wall to block encroachment from other dimensions. That may be why enormous beings are sealed in cards.

The next thing is that there are no ‘minor cards’ that can be found in tarot cards for fortune-telling.

A total of 22 cards.

It now consists only of what are called ‘major cards’ among fortune tellers. In fact, it is natural that the so-called minor cards were created by fortunetellers based on the major cards for various purposes after the first card.

However, this does not mean that all 22 major cards contain surprising figures. Starting with card number 0, [THE FOOL]… … (reluctant)

― From Card Master’s Rule Book

◈

Three cards floated in my field of vision, yo-yoing and emitting a mysterious light.

These two cards are cards I already know.

────────────────

Card number. Zero (Card No. Zero).

Arcana name. [THE FOOL]

────────────────

────────────────

Card number. Card No. One.

Arcana name. [THE WITCH]

────────────────

And the one remaining card was a card with a silent black glow.

────────────────

Card number. Thirteen (Card No. Thirteen).

Card name. [DEATH]

────────────────

“Death? death? what’s this? No, it’s more random than that, isn’t it?”

There was no warning.

Above all, the biggest reason why I was confused was because the card master’s authority was telling me that this card, which means death, was not even a card from which an arcana was summoned.

Moreover, what puzzled me even more was the card master’s authority. As the card master, the authority did not tell me what this card was used for.

It may be difficult to understand, but the Card Master’s power is focused on Arcana.

As for the beings summoned by Arcana, who have a body and who retain all the state, memories, and pain of their lifetime, you will learn everything about them as soon as the card blooms.

For example, contrary to belief, clowns cannot eat spicy food.

Even though the witch didn’t match her usual mood, she automatically learned that she liked underwear with yellow chicks on it.

22 cards.

Among them, one of the cards that did not summon Arcana was revealed for the first time. And the card itself.

“First of all… … . Summon.”

Since this wasn’t my first summon, there was no need for a long, cringe-inducing spell that showed that I understood the arcana and that I desperately wanted you. Rather, what they want is to call them quickly.

Then, light emanates from two cards that can respond to the card master’s command of ‘summon’. The way the two arcana were summoned also reflected their personalities.

On the card with the clown on it, a blood-red light flashed along with pure white light, like an impatient person pushing an open subway door with his hand in a hurry to get off.

On the other hand, in the card with the witch on it, pure white light emanates in a very balanced manner, like a child waiting for his turn.

However, every time a fairly strong red light flashes from the clown’s card, she appears to flinch, which is definitely the appearance of a ‘silver-eared (slightly cute)’ witch.

“Baby~! Umm~ah!”

Side by side!

As soon as the clown is summoned, he runs towards me, hugs my neck with both arms, and leaves traces of his lips all over my face.

I tried to sneak away, but it was impossible. It seems that he has become stronger as expected.

No, it seems that he has found more of the power that the clown originally had. Of course, since they were so close, I couldn’t even manifest my divine eyes and had to just ‘get hit’.

Of course, I think it’s a very desirable ‘ought’.

“Master feels uncomfortable. Come out.”

no. It’s not uncomfortable. It’s a witch.

A soft feeling that touches every part of your face, a dizzying rose scent, and a soft squishy feeling that puts pressure on the area around your solar plexus.

‘I just want to die because the image of me from a few minutes ago, when I thought I had gotten stronger, keeps replaying in my head.’

Only after the witch’s urgings were repeated six times did the clown retreat from me. Then, on one side, a witch appears to be waiting for her turn(?).

“Welcome… … Ah?”

side!

Like a skilled monk, the witch approaches me with the movements of a skilled martial artist, places her lips lightly and shyly on mine, and returns to that position.

“I went there. Master.”

And then he lowers his head and says that as if nothing had happened. As if they were hoping to be fooled.

But she’s a cute witch. What are you going to do about your ears that are so red they’re about to explode? It’s not going to explode, is it? It feels like a switch.

“As expected, the ‘bright’ Purgis Witch!”

“Bah, it’s Walpurgis! Don’t call me weird!”

“Okay. Balpur’chi’s Witch.”

“Ugh!”

The two didn’t seem to have changed. Externally, the witch was still wearing her old red robe, and the clown was still wearing a tight-fitting black leather suit.

Of course, naturally, the tight leather clothes were still bothering the clown’s violent chest.

Was it summer?

“It doesn’t seem like much has changed… … ?”

“No… Son?”

Isn’t it said that when people are too surprised, they become speechless? That’s me now.

“Huh? Baby~?”

“Oh my god!!”

99cm!! My chest is 38.97 inches! F cup!!

So do your breasts get bigger every time you awaken? huh? Is your pelvis getting wider too?

If so, really! Truly!

Isn’t this a desirable awakening!

“Oh my! We noticed it too, right? It’s gotten bigger!”

At the same time, the clown changed his posture from letting his arms hang down and crossed his arms.

Naturally, the breasts become more prominent and the violent breasts stand out explosively. The clown assumes that pose and looks at the witch with his chin haughtily raised.

More precisely, the witch’s breasts.

“Profit!”

In fact, witches do not have small breasts at all. Rather, it is large. It’s just that the clown stands out.

huh? What kind of bullshit is this?

Isn’t the surprising point strange? Superhuman?

Why is that?

Are there people who are surprised by obvious things?

As I once mentioned, the clown is a woman with a record of leading the dimension she lived in to the brink of destruction.

All the experts in that dimension rushed to stop her, but no one survived. At the time, even the three beings in that dimension could not survive the clown.

Of course, it was the master of the sword at the time and the master who thought of her as his child.

What the swordsman of the time risked his life for was not to kill or stop the clown, but to briefly bring him back to his senses.

Moreover, in the aftermath, the ‘Void’, which was like a kind of power that developed in the clown, suddenly grew in size and almost engulfed the dimension like a black hole.

A woman that strong is ‘my’ clown.

It was natural that she had just barely surpassed the level of a superhuman with her physical and spiritual power information, so she had to send back the card to the clown, who was already a summoned Arcana.

Rather, it is surprising that even though the ‘violent’ breasts have grown to the point where they cannot grow any bigger, they do not fall down at all and are elastic, bouncing as if they are about to explode at any moment!

“Not suitable for combat. Especially for a close combat type like you, a clown!”

“Hmm~?”

“Profit! Very, very, absolutely! Definitely!! Not suitable!”

“Hmm~.”

“That’s a really bad chest!”

That’s not right.

Even if she is a ‘silver-eared’ witch, that doesn’t mean she isn’t. As my eyes fell on the witch, I tried to manifest my divine eyes again. With ‘certain’ expectations.

―Ancient Magic: Carmĕn

⇒As the card master realized his strength, the first limit of Arcana, ‘Superman’, was lifted.

⇒As a result of the lifting of the first limit, the special skill ‘Ancient Magic: Carmĕn’ has been developed.

────────────────

If you asked me to choose the most difficult part when I thought witches were my enemies, I would not hesitate and choose ancient magic.

For general magic, you can get a sense of what kind of magic it is just by listening carefully to the wizard memorizing the starter words. You can also respond accordingly. So, as the circle goes up, there is a ‘vision magic’ that creates your own starter word.

However, there is no way to know what the witch’s specialty, ancient magic, is. The witch’s magic language was something I couldn’t understand unless the witch was conscious of it and told me.

Among those ancient magics, the one called ‘Carmĕn’ is the magic of the deceptive Walpurgis witches who replace the incomprehensible starting word itself with unique rhymes and humming.

This means that among the Walpurgis, the elders, and among them the special ones, have developed magic that can only be used by two people per generation.

You may be wondering what’s so great about simply replacing the starter word with a rhyme. However, it is worth noting the words that follow.

Carmen.

An ancient word meaning song. Songs never end with rhyming humming.

In other words, as long as she has the ability to continue singing from the moment it starts to the end, a single witch can bombard the magic of dozens of wizards.

In fact, the story goes down like a legend that the greatest witch, who skillfully used Carmen, blocked the tsunami alone for 5 minutes and 32 seconds, giving her time to evacuate.

huh? what? why?

Are you suddenly explaining your special skills at length, unlike when you were a clown?

I’m mentioning this in case it’s misunderstood. Our witch’s breasts are definitely not small! It’s a B.

Oh~. I don’t know. I can’t hear you. I can not hear you.

“I know it’s nice to see you after a long time. Do you know what this is used for?”

He dropped the clown and the witch, who were still bickering, and pointed to the card that was still floating in the air and emitting a yo-yo light, and asked with a serious face.

The absolute witch said, ‘Let’s ask the master! What size breast do you prefer?’ It’s not like I’m ‘pretending’ to be serious.

huh. no. Anyway, no. That’s it. Chureiya?

I don’t know. I can’t hear you.

“Hmm? Is it a death card?”

“Passive card.”

The clown and the witch respond as they see the card emitting a presence in the air. thank god. Because it looks like you know.

“So how do you use it? What is this?”

“Hmm~. I don’t know~.”

“I don’t know anything either.”

“Huh? Do you really not know? just now… … .”

“It says death on the front. Is that why you read it?”

“I understand that the effect of passive cards is applied at the same time they bloom. It is the same effect as gaining one power. Congratulations. Master.”

“Yeah, right. But what effect does this have?”

“I don’t know anything. but… … .”

“Just?”

“I know that passive cards have such beneficial effects that they can be said to be unconditional. So you don’t have to worry.”

“Okay… … . Tsk. Okay.”

But not only will things not be resolved immediately if you suffer through them, but for now, you have no choice but to place your hopes on them. Well, they say it only has beneficial effects. Like ‘Playing King’ somewhere, ‘Trap card activated!’ I’m glad it didn’t seem to be the same.

The moment I thought that nonsense and grabbed the card floating in the air, DEATH, with my hand to put it in the card deck.

“Huh?”

Information about the card flowed in. Although it’s not as perfect as Arcana.
