ch.11 [Colourless Charm]

Leaf came to Giya's room with the snacks. She knocked on the door and said, "Miss, I have brought your snacks."

"Come in," came the voice from inside.

Leaf opened the door and came inside the room. She saw that, beside the window, a fragile-looking girl was sitting on the chair. The morning sunlight was coming from the window and shining on her weak body. She had seen this fragile girl many times in this year, but today, in the shining sunlight, she seemed to feel something different from the fragile-looking girl. Now, inside that fragile-looking body of hers, there seemed to be a kind of different energy. She couldn't help but be attracted by that energy. She wants to take care of that fragile girl with all her power and cherish her forever.

"Put the plate of snacks on the table. Go to the bathroom and prepare a bathtub of boiling water."

Hearing the voice, Leaf come out of her stupor,and she put down the plate. When she was going to the bathroom, she looked at that fragile girl and it seemed the same as it had been for many years. Her strange feeling seemed like some kind of illusion.

After seeing Leaf go to the bathroom to prepare boiling water, Giya said to herself, "What's with that kind of atmosphere? It feels like Leaf is being hypnotized by some kind of power. I'm only practicing the [Colourless] technique normally. How is it possible to hypnotize someone? There's nothing like this description in the manual.

It is happening because I am the first female to practice this [Colourless] technique; there is no previous female practitioner of the [Colourless] technique, so no one has noticed this kind of effect.

Now that I think about it, it's not like hypnotism either. It's some kind of natural energy produced from the body. By using this energy, it can attract others to the owner of the energy.

this is like anyone loves to see some beautiful things, and they want to preserve and protect the beautiful thing.

I can use this energy as charm art. Using this, I am able to attract someone towards me and produce sympathy.

I will call it the [Colourless Charm] technique."

Knock knock

"Miss, I have brought back the materials you wanted." Bloom's voice came from outside the room.

Giya stood up from the chair, opened the door, and said to Bloom, "Let's take it to the bathroom."

They both went to the bathroom. Leaf had already prepared the water in the bathtub.

"Bloom, put all the materials from Part One's list into the bathtub. After that, go and boil all the Part Two materials together to prepare the 'medicine'. boil it until the afternoon and bring it back with the afternoon lunch. Leaf, you can also go back, but come back after two hours."

"Yes, Miss." Bloom and Leaf both finished their work and went back to complete other tasks.

When Giya is alone, she goes near the bathtub, stretches her right arm, dips her first finger into the water, and says, "[Rainbow Art] second form: poisonous water."
