"Isn't the rate of magical energy extraction a bit off?"
As Medea continued to modify the equipment, Kisaragi Rin sensed that the rate of magical energy extraction from his body was getting faster and faster, reaching a level that felt nerve-wracking.
Observing the structure of the Banner of Demons with her Mystic Eyes, Medea continued her actions while distractedly replying, "I'm trying to modify this space. The consumption of magical energy is indeed very strong. Master, you'll have to endure a bit longer."
"Even if you say that, the total amount of magical energy is fixed. After reaching a certain point, it's no longer about whether I want to endure or not."
Constitution and intelligence determined how much magical energy a player could provide. The Banner of Demons, which could give Kisaragi Rin an additional 3 intelligence, had already been disassembled in Medea's hands.
With unchanged attributes, no matter what, the total amount of magical energy would not change.
The player panel still had 4 free attribute points, but unless necessary, Kisaragi Rin did not want to use these 4 points in such a place.
"I'll hold on for now… If it really doesn't work, I'll use these 4 free attribute points to increase my constitution."
Because the basic condition for using Black Flash was that the difference between strength and intelligence could not be greater than 5, Kisaragi Rin's strength of 21 and intelligence of 26 were already at the usage limit. Even if he wanted to use it, he couldn't increase his intelligence further; he could only increase his constitution to gain more magical energy.
With this thought, Kisaragi Rin quietly watched Medea's actions, only to find that her movements had slowed down. Leaning against her Master, Medea suppressed the shyness in her heart and said, feigning calmness, "In that case, there is actually another solution…"
"Master, do you want to replenish magical energy with me?"
As Medea asked, silence fell over the room for a moment, with only the sound of magic operating continuing.
"This isn't just about replenishing magical energy. The real problem is that Esdeath is right outside. If I replenish magical energy with you here, she will really break in!"
Kisaragi Rin complained in his heart.
Through his Master's perception, Kisaragi knew very well that Esdeath was outside the room talking to Lily. Given Esdeath's personality, if she found out Medea dared to sneak off behind her back, a fight was inevitable.
He couldn't agree to replenish magical energy, but he couldn't directly refuse either. Medea must have hesitated for a long time before saying that.
Directly rejecting Medea's hard-won direct approach would likely hurt her.
The room was quiet for a moment, and Medea had already begun to regret it: "We've only known each other for such a short time, Medea, how could you be so direct about replenishing magical energy? Will Master already think of me as some immodest woman…"
Kisaragi Rin thought for a moment and decided to refuse in a subtle way, saying softly, "You can't be distracted while modifying the Banner of Demons. As for… replenishing magical energy, it's impossible right now, isn't it?"
Medea understood Kisaragi Rin's meaning: I am willing to replenish magical energy with you, but the current situation is not suitable for such a thing, which is why I refused you.
This way of answering brought Medea out of her regret and even made her a little happy.
"At least I know Master isn't disgusted by my feelings…" Her cheeks felt warm, and Medea knew without listening that her heart was beating wildly.
Leaning against her Master, Medea was now completely multi-tasking, leaving a part of her mind to continue modifying the Banner of Demons. Medea parted her lips again.
"Actually, you don't have to go that far to replenish magical energy. If it's just kissing, I can also absorb magical energy from Master's body."
These words made Kisaragi Rin a little silent, and his mind also began to wander.
"…Is there such a way to absorb magical energy?"
"Perhaps this is Medea's talent as a Caster. After all, the principles are similar. According to high school biology textbooks, is saliva considered a bodily fluid?"
"However, given the production team that constantly changes the settings of the Fate World, it's possible that the Fate World really can replenish magical energy through such means."
There was no need to further consider the underlying principles. In any case, Medea had already braced herself against her inner shyness and approached her Master.
Sitting in her Master's arms, too shy to show emotion, Medea could only stare at Kisaragi with a calm and serious expression.
Her emotionless demeanor made it seem as if the upcoming magical energy replenishment was truly unavoidable.
"…Your ears are already red."
Faced with this situation, Kisaragi Rin, being perceptive, did not mention that his magical energy could still withstand the consumption for now. Instead, he tacitly agreed to this magical energy replenishment, actively touching Medea's purple-painted lips while reaching out to rub and pinch her two hot elven ears.
Kisaragi Rin had long wanted to try the sensation of such pointed ears.
Since Medea had come to him on her own, he shouldn't be blamed for being impolite.
"Ears…ears…"
Noticing the hand enveloping her ears, Medea felt a sense of unease.
Kisaragi Rin, on the other hand, directly…
Perhaps this was the power of a Caster from the Age of Gods. Even in such a situation, Medea was still able to maintain the operation of her magic…
Time passed by minute by minute. The Banner of Demons, which had been disassembled into several parts, was now basically completely modified. The black core was beating like a heart, beginning the final step of its transformation.
Unlike the soul banner that had previously emitted black mist, its reshaped appearance transformed it into a black staff, simple yet elegant, just as Kisaragi Rin had requested.
As if celebrating its rebirth, the reforged Banner of Demons floated in the air, magic radiating from it. However, at this moment, no one paid attention to its birth.
Medea's eyes were tightly closed. Her initially stiff body had softened, pressing closely against her Master, until the Banner of Demons fell to the ground with a thud, which roused Medea from the embrace. Her weak fingers propped against Kisaragi's neck, separating herself from her Master.
Noticing her current state, Medea's watery eyes darted away, not daring to look at her Master.
She whispered:
"…The equipment is ready."
"Hmm, I see it."
Kisaragi Rin replied, but his hands never stopped moving.
Medea remained seated, and after a while, she couldn't help but speak again, "Master, we still need to check the results of the equipment modification."
With some key sensitive spots being touched, Medea simply couldn't control her body. If it had been earlier, Medea might have felt that they could get even closer.
But now that the magical energy replenishment was over, all of this made her so nervous that she wanted to immediately spiritualize into spirit form.
"That's right, I can turn into spirit form!"
Medea suddenly thought of it, and immediately did so, disappearing directly from Kisaragi Rin's arms.
