Book 8: Chapter 22: Bunshin Magic

Well, as you can see, I havent gotten around to getting merchants here, yet

If possible wanted to let everyone see the trade of weapons and recovery potions happening before them.

But then, theres no adventurer clients hyet, so theres no way merchants would gather here.

Erm, thats not what Youko is pointing out, I think. (Leaffa)

Mm? Then whats the fuss about?

Why is Halt-sama using Bunshin Magic. (Mai and Mei)

Thats right! Why are you nonchalantly using Bunshin Magic, huh!? (Youko)

Whycoz its convenient?

Bunshin Magic was pretty handy.

They could work out the detailed jobs that the flaming knights couldnt, and their outward appearance completely resembled mine, so its easy to make them run errands in towns of people to buy stuff for me.

All the weapons and armors here in the marketplace in front of this dungeon were all purchased by my clones while I was renovating the dungeon interior.

Thanks to them, all the necessary stuff were gathered, but they couldnt get merchants. But I still wanted to do a demo of this marketplace, so I decided to make my clones be the shopkeepers.

I did make some differences in their uniforms, but the bodies and faces of these clones were still mine.

If I refined this Bunshin Magic further, I had a hunch that I could make it change its physique and facial features, but its really hard making a clone that could perfectly imitate a human; even making my own copies of myself was already such a difficult feat.

No, Im not asking the reason why Master used this Bunshin Magic!!!! I wanted to know HOW on earth did you wield this magic!!

Oh, so you want to know how this magic is done?

Right!

Halt-sama, theres around ten clones here, but is your mana still alright? (Mai and Mei)

The Bunshin Magic that I studied utilized and divided the casters mana. You created more than 10 clones, is there no problem? (Seira)

Mai, Mei and Seira seemed worried about my health.

Well, its not like Im keeping it secret, so lets just tell them.

See, what Im actually doing is an application of the flaming knights. Thats probably why its a bit different from the true Bunshin Magic that everyone is talking about, I guess.

I released my magic while saying so.

Then, I fiddled with this mana

A knight with a flaming body clad in armor appeared beside me to the right.

And this guy here is the zero attribute knight..

I conjured a knight made out of non-attribute mana to my left.

The knights flanking me werent different from each other, except that one of them had a fire attribute. The rest was exactly the same.

The non-attribute knight could also move and act autonomously just like the flaming knight.

It was also transparent, and you could see the shining core within its chest.

This non-attribute knight would then become my base to create my clone by using Bunshin Magic.

First, Im going to cut its hind legs like this.

I hand chopped the horses hind legs.

The mana that made up that hind part dispersed in the air.

After that, Im going to remove its armor.

Dunno if its because the image in my mind had been too clear when I first made them, but all my knight series would definitely appear clad in armour.

That armour was in the way this time, so I removed all of it.,

Its body is a bit big, so Im going to shrunk it like this.

I extended my hand towards the knight, then gently squeezed it into a fist the knights body was compressed.

It could have been better if I could mold the shape of its body at this time to whatever I like, unfortunately, whenever I tried imagining the clones human form, it would always transform into my familiar body no matter what.

This is what I wanted to change so that I could make different types of bodies.

And so, lets remove his headgear now.

I ordered the non-attribute knight to remove its helmet.

EHH!?

All of my wives were shocked.

They were all looking at

The transparent me clutching the helmet under my arm.

Do all those flaming knights have this appearance underneath their helmet?

Tina wanted to know whether all of those flaming knights looked like me, I guess.

Eh, shes probably imagining my head sticking on this centaur-looking thing.

Ugh, thats way too creepy, dont you think!?

N-no way!!! I just changed his face to mine as he removed the helmet. H-here, look at this!!

I hastily made the flaming knight remove its helmet.

An expressionless face shrouded in flames appeared.

W-what a relief. As expected, thinking about how a centaur has Halt-samas face on it is a bit

Yeah, thats not okay with me, either. (Youko)

That would be mega creepy, meow

Merdie, youre too frank. (Luna)

T-that was close

As I thought, my wives did imagine such a horrendous thing.

So glad I resolved the misunderstanding right away.

Well, so thats how it is. After that, Ill just combine wind, water and light magic to create an Illusion Magic, adjusting the skin tone to match mine and giving it a tactile sense.

I appeared right in front of me.

It was like looking in the mirror.

So, this is my Bunshin Magic.

A-ahmMay I touch Halt-samas clone?

Leaffa asked.

Theres a reason why my bunshin didnt only resemble my appearance, its skin sensation and warmth was also close to mine.

Its fine.

I was actually proud of reproducing a clone that really resembled me.

T-this is

Leaffa seemed to be in a daze as she tried touching my body. Yesterday was Leaffas turn to sleep with me, so she seemed to be remembering my skin sensation as she touched my clone.

The real deal is also right here beside you, so you can also touch me all you want, though

I-I also want to try it! (Youko)

Me too! (Mai and Mei)

This concubine is also interested.Me, me, I wanna touch Halts clone, too~! (Hakua)

Okay. Go ahead and check out my masterpiece.

I beckoned all the Halt bunshins that were tending to the shop.

There were twelve of them in total.

Excluding Sally and Lilia who were with us, it matched the number of my wives. Kikyous part is bonus.

Recently, I noticed that Im making my wives lonely because their number rose again.

Thats why I created these bunshins, hoping that it would alleviate their loneliness somehow.

My Bunshin Magic had the same abilities as my flaming knights, so once they disappear, their memories of everything they experienced would return to me.

Moreover, thanks to the mind-reading and the intuition that I honed, it also possessed the ability to reflect my own consciousness through magic, although its not perfect yet.

In short, it could be said that this bunshin, this clone was also me, myself.

The only thing I wasnt able to manifest was its reproductive ability.

Wasnt able to no, I purposely didnt gave it.

That is something that I didnt want to turnover to my clone, after all.

A-amazing Its as if its the real Halt-sama.

Tina, the one who was most familiar with touching my body, was astounded at the degree of cloning this Bunshin Magic did.
