My Twin Sister Was Taken as a Miko and I Was Thrown Away but I’m Probably the Miko

k.

She says that this sort of thing almost never happened where Stacey lived, and that even though there was that disaster with the magic energy, there’s still some lingering influence of hers in this land, because she loved it.

But still, the damage caused by people can still be felt here, and Wea says she wants to do something about that.

“Lerunda, if possible, I’d like you to help me make it so it’s easier for people and spirits to live here.
There are more vortexes of magic energy here than I thought…”

“Yes.
But are those really that dangerous?”

I don’t really get a bad feeling here in the ruins, but Wea says there are still some vortexes of magic energy around here.
She says they’re dangerous, but I don’t feel that danger.

“They are probably not dangerous to you, Lerunda, because you are a miko.
Stacey could also live in places other people thought were dangerous.
But you have other people with you, right? It’s dangerous to them.”

So vortexes of magic energy aren’t dangerous to me, but they are dangerous to Miss Lan and the others.
Then we really do need to do something about them.
I really don’t want them to be in danger.

“Then we have to tell everyone not to get near them… Can you tell where they are?”

“Yes, because magic energy feels different there.
You and Freinet should be able to feel it too.”

“How?”

“It’s easy.
Just close your eyes and expand your magic energy.”

“Expand?”

“Yes.
Let’s try it.
I will send magic energy to you and we will feel it together.”

She says before closing her eyes and taking my hand.

I can feel her magic energy entering my body.
It feels nice… Like I’m surrounded by water.
That’s because she’s a water spirit.

As the magic energy expands, I feel strange magic energy with it.

“See? This is what a trace of abnormal magic energy is like.”

“Yes, I got it.”

“Good.
Can you feel that there are a few around here?”

“Yes.
Some are really small, and some are bigger.”

“You can ignore the small ones.
But the big ones… We need to watch out for them, because they might run wild if something happens to them.”

Says Wea, and I nod.

I practice expanding my magic energy like Wea.
I can’t do it as well as her, but I’m going to practice more until I can feel it.
