Ch 77 - Sui's Water Magic

I asked Fer to come with us to a forest a short distance away from the city .

"Like you said, you've got Fire Goddess Agni's blessing as well as Earth Goddess Kishar's blessing . " Fer said after doing an Appraisal on me .

"That's right . After returning to our room yesterday and making an offering to Ninril-sama, I received blessings from Agni-sama and Kishar-sama for, ummm, various reasons . They're blessings (small), again for, ummm, various reasons . I've got to make offerings and prayers to them too now like I do to Ninril-sama . "

"Is that so? But it's a good thing, isn't it? You're kinda weak after all and any kind of blessings, even blessings (small) are gonna be a big help to you . " Oh yeah, I'm weak . . . . Thanks for reminding me . I know I'm weak myself yeah, but couldn't you be a bit more diplomatic about it, Fer?

"Your master is weak, you just come out and say it to my face?"

"Well, it's true isn't it?" Fer said bluntly .

"No, well . . . I suppose so . " I conceded . "Anyway, having got that out of the way, I came out here to try out my magic and see what effects the blessings have . I was told that even a blessing (small) means I should consume less magical energy when I cast fire magic and earth magic and the power of the spells will increase too . I'll also get additional different kinds of fire and earth magic too, they said . "

Fer looked around the forest . "So that's why we're out here then, for you to try out your new powers?"

"Oh," I remembered to add . "And Sui now has the blessing of the Water Goddess Rusalka for, ummm, various reasons . The blessing is the same as the blessing you got from Ninril-sama, it's not (small) . "

"What? Let me see . . . " Fer stared at the shoulder bag, obviously Appraising Sui-chan who was sleeping inside .

" . . . As you say, Sui has Rusalka-sama's blessing . Sui's gonna get really strong with that . " Fer paused, clearly thinking hard . "I wonder what sort of a fight she could put up against me now?"

What? Stop thinking like that! Even if Sui is getting much stronger she wouldn't be a match for someone like Fer who has maxed out his levels in so many ways .

"Don't say that please . " I begged him . "She'd never be able to defeat you no matter how strong she gets . "

"Nuu, I was just thinking she might be a good partner for a test of strength . . . " Fer was still considering it, obviously .

"No, no, She wouldn't be a good opponent . Even if Sui is getting stronger she's still way beneath you, Fer . Stop considering it, please . " Please? Fer is totally a battle maniac but it's dangerous for him to say something like that . Let's get on with what we came here to do, test our magical powers and we can pretend Fer never said anything like that . Sui first, I think . "Hey Sui, wake up . " I said to sleepyhead Sui in the shoulder bag .

"Hmm? Aruji-, what is it?" I picked up a still-sleepy Sui to explain .

"Hey, Sui received a blessing from the Water Goddess . You can do water magic now . "

"Huh? Is Sui able to make water magic spells now?" she asked .

"Yep . " I said .

"Hey, yay!" Sui bounced up and down happily .

"Now I'd like you to experiment with various water magic spells to see what you can do . "

"All right Aruji- . Water magic, water magic . . . . . . . . . . . . Oh, it looks like I can do this- . "A water ball about a metre in diameter appeared in front of Sui .

"From my experience, you can use most magic spells if you have a divine blessing from that Goddess . " Fer commented . "That water ball is not clean water though, it's got impurities in it . Sui needs to concentrate on making it pure to start with . " If a water magic user creates something they have to be careful to make it without impurities if they want it to be drinkable, it seems .

Fer shrugged . "However it wouldn't matter if you or I drink it though since we've got the blessing of a Goddess . We could even drink mud . " I do not want to drink mud at all, thank you, even with a blessing to protect me .

"Well don't worry about water while Sui is here . When you need water, just ask . " Sui said proudly .

"What else can you do, Sui?" I asked .

"Well- I dunno . . . "

"Can you throw the water ball far away fast?" I remembered water magic from novels and games and how it could be used as a weapon . Could Sui do the same?

"Yeah, I'll try that-" As Sui spoke, the water ball flew off at a tremendous speed . Thump! The water ball struck a thick tree, water splashed everywhere and the water ball disappeared . There was a creaking splintering noise . . . and then the tree fell over with a thud . The water ball had broken the tree in two . What, that power . . . ? It had been a really thick tree . Huh?"Wow, the tree broke . Wow wow!" An excited Sui leapt out of my arms and jumped around poing poing .

No Wow! from me, Sui is scary . I never want to be hit by something like that .

"Ah, I see, I wonder if this works?" Sui muttered to herself . As she spoke a strong jet of water sprayed from the tip of a tentacle . Shhh!

Huh? A nearby tree hit by the jet fell down . As I approached the fallen tree, I saw a beautiful cross section on the stump like it had been cut with a chainsaw . That's a Water Cutter? Sui really has gotten stronger . Acid Bullets, Water Balls and Water Cutters are really powerful finishing moves .

I should make something clear to Sui, I suppose since she's still quite young to have such powerful attacks at her command .

"Sui, your water magic attacks are amazing but you should just shoot them towards monsters . You should never shoot them at people . " I thought for a moment . "Well, okay, if they're bad people it's all right to shoot them but only if I tell you to . You shouldn't shoot it at anything else either unless I say so, OK?"

"Yeah, I got it . Sui will only shoot water magic at monsters . Sui will listen to what Aruji says to shoot . Sui is a good girl . "

Yes yes, our Sui-chan is someone who listens to her Aruji . Sui is a good girl .
