Chapter 7: 7

Slowly the carriage starts to move. Unlike in the past, we're already in Fuharden, so it's slower.

 Casandra said as she held the cane in her hand, listening to the clank, clank of the wheels.

 

「Well, Miss Eleonora. Your Devil's Eye of Destruction is already at work but your eye is still asleep. Once you awaken it, your eye will be able to do many things at once.」

 

As she speaks, the corners of Casandra's mouth lift up. I opened my eyes wide at those words.

 I feel like it’s a cheat when you break branches just by staring at them but does that in still sleep state not in full swing?

 

「Sleeping... Is it? 」

 

「Certainly, it seems to be quite a bit less effective for Devil eye, but ...... 」

 

Linda tilted her head in sync with my words. Casandra says, narrowing her white eyes as she watches.

 

「It's kind of like with your eyelids closed. Even with your eyelids closed, you can still feel the light, can't you? 」

 

「Oh ... sure.」

 

When I heard the fact, I was somewhat convinced. It is true that you can feel the light even if you close your eyes and look at the sun. Quite so.

 That means my current Devil eye is working with my eyelids closed. It's not quite the same as being able to break things in such a situation but if you can open this, that would certainly do a lot of things.

 

「In other words, we have to let it open. However, if you leave them open your eyes will destroy everything you see. It's important to learn how to open and close them. 」

 

Casandra speaks as she pushes her own eyes open with her fingers, giving me a good look at her white eyes. Well, it sure is tiring to keep it open. Moreover, if you destroy everything and everyone you see, that's execution. It's hard to remember how to open and close them in many ways.

 However, we are in a carriage. I don't know if I can do it, here.

 

「That's great but... Can you teach it in a place like this? 」

 

「I can do it, It's not about location. 」

 

At my question, Casandra said with a grin.

 There are various types of Devil eye, some work on things, some on creatures, and some don't work on anything at all but the switch that opens and closes the Devil eye is the same for any Devil eye.

I let out a breath and Casandra holds out her hand to me.

 

「The eyes are not difficult to open but you've been keeping them closed all this time. Let me help you at first. ...... Here, take my hand.」

 

「Like this? 」

 

I do as I'm told and hold Casandra's wrinkled hand. When I held her hand, which was all bone and skin, it was cool and cold. Casandra confirms that I've taken her hand and gently pulls her face closer to mine.

 

「Yes. Now look me in the eye and breathe.」

 

「 Yes,  Soo ......」

 

Casandra stares at me and I start to take a deep breath as I look into her eyes. I took a deep breath and at the same time, I felt myself calm down and my stiffened whole body relaxed.

 The way I relaxed must have rubbed off on Casandra. She chuckled and spoke to me.

 

「Good, good. Almost there. You must channel the power from the centre of your chest to your face and release it from your eyes.」

 

「Oh, um, .... 」

 

There it is, An unfamiliar word came out again. Magic.

If you don't ask at a time like this, you miss the chance to ask. I opened my mouth boldly.

 

「Is magic power ...... or ......?」

 

「Mmm?」

 

At my question, Casandra's eyes widened while her mouth closed. What a strange expression on her face.

 It would seem so, because from what I've heard so far magic power is a common thing in this world and it seems to be a common concept about channeling magic power as well.

 Casandra gives a dubious look and turns to Bartel.

 

「Lord Bartel? 」

 

「Oh, that ......Eleonora-sama was recently awakened within by the soul of a person from another world, so it is assumed that she has no knowledge of magical powers.」

 

Bartel-san returned it with a very troubled expression on his face.

 It's, well, it's also this. It's hard to explain that I just recently reincarnated and woke up. You wouldn't know how out of touch I am with the world if I didn't tell you.

 Anyway, Casandra nodded in agreement.

 

「I see, I see, you're from elsewhere. Then ...... well, you don't have to think too hard. Think of it as an invisible force that springs from within the human body, from the heart. 」

 

With that said, with her other hand, Casandra poked my chest with her fingers.

 The power comes from around my heart. It's in my body. That's what it seems to be. I see.

 Casandra says as she lifts her fingers upward, slurping from my chest.

 

「Living creatures in this world, including humans have a 'path' in their bodies to generate and release magical power from around the organs of their hearts. Most of them have a path leading to their limbs and mouth but there are a few who have a path leading to their eyes. This is the Devil's Eye. 」

 

「So the path leads to my eyes as well ......? 」

 

When I returned the words to Casandra's explanation, the old woman in front of me nodded stiffly.

 

「That's what I meant. Close your eyes and focus on your body.」

 

「Uh, .......」

 

Listening to Casandra's story and letting it sink in, I turn my attention once again to my body. The heart, what's it like to be aware of that area?

 Indeed as I've been told, I feel a sparkling light springing out from around the centre of my body and climbing up. I see its light.

 

「It's like some kind of flickering ...... light.」

 

「 Oh, you're visualizing magic? This is very promising. Try to let out what's rising up in your chest.」

 

Casandra's voice rose at my reaction.Apparently, the sensibility around here is also good for me. I'm not really aware of it.

 Anyway, I'll do as you said. As if to let out what wells up around, It's also like spitting it out of your eyes.

 

「 Mmm ......! 」

 

I put some pressure on the lower part of my chest and felt it slowly climbing towards my face. I'm going to try to put some pressure on my belly.

Then as if triggered by this, a flash of light seemed to burst inside the eyes.

 

「What? 」

 

「What the hell is this? 」

 

「Dear Casandra, that was ...... 」

 

I winced, both Linda and Bartel looked surprised. Apparently, they both saw something as well. Releasing my hand, Casandra grinned again.

 

「Success. If this situation continues, the carriage will be destroyed. Lift up your hood and look at the trees in the distance. 」

 

With that, Casandra pulls up by the top of the wagon and beckons to me. As invited, I stood close to the hood and lifted it up. Just about 100 meters away, I saw a large tree.

 Checking it out, Casandra puts her hand in front of mine.

 

「Look」

 

The moment that hand moved up.

The trunk of the distant tree I was looking at shattered. As it is, it falls slowly from the root and rolls on the ground.

 I guess that move just lifted the Devil eye seal or whatever that was on me. Otherwise, this would never have happened.

 

「What? 」

 

「Broken! In such a split second, ...... 」

 

「Wow ...... such a big tree, from the root .....」

 

Benjamin, who was sitting in the governor's seat, seemed to be able to see what was going on. He gripped the reins, his eyes wide with surprise. Seeing that the horse didn't get out of control, it looks like he was doing a good job of controlling it even looking at it now. Amazing.

 

Seeing this state of affairs, Casandra-san laughs while supporting my raised hood.

 

「Devil eye is now open. Now if you could only learn to close and open it by yourself, it would be perfect. Whether it's a dragon or a golem, you can bring it down to earth with a single glance. Don't be afraid. "Kakko-kakko" (clapper made from a wooden stick with a hole in the end) 」

 

「Yes. ......」

 

Despite what I've been told, it doesn't feel very real to me. I never thought I would be the one to pull off something so outrageous.

I look out of the carriage in a daze, somewhat afraid to look into the carriage. Another tree fell in my line of sight.
