Hiiro: Why?
Eveam: At that time, destroying the bridge was our immediate priority. Thus, I was able to make preparations in advance. Moreover, as the enemy didnt think that I would try to destroy the bridge, they simply stood there, dumbfounded.
Previously, in order to make the bridge collapse, Eveam used an enormous amount of magic power and a large quantity of blood in order to construct the ultimate magic. However, it appeared to be something that required a lot of preparation before use.
The magic at that time could only be used for the first time due to Eveam and Aquinas magic being synchronized. It could be said that they had practiced quite a bit for that purpose.
For the most part, it appeared that they would be capable of synchronizing better than the previous time. Yet, even so, it would still take time and, above all, the current situation was not one where the enemy would silently watch over them as they performed the ritual required for the utilisation of such a magic.
As soon as Eveam appeared, she would be, without question, the first one to be targeted. Whats more, she would be on the receiving end of a focused attack. Although not absolutely certain, one would be unable to cast a spell that requires such intensive concentration. They would definitely be interrupted.
Hiiro: Certainly, they arent such idiots as to repeat their previous mistakes.
Eveam: Aa(1). Besides, the magic used at that time requires me to construct formulas before hand.
Hiiro: Nn?(2)What do you mean by that?
Eveam: What Im trying to say is, the day before you want to use the spell, there is a need to assemble the formula and carve it onto the body as a crest.
In actuality, last time, on her very own belly, the magic formula, aka the so-called magic circle, had been drawn onto it. Moreover, once the magic circle has been drawn, one cannot use any other magic until the large magic has been casted. A large amount of magic is needed to even draw the circle.
The prior preparations she was referring to was exactly that. Additionally, that magic circle required a total of three days to draw.
Eveam: Furthermore, if I were to use it, I would be rendered useless for a while. Thats because Id become bedridden. In the current situation, I cannot afford to fall.
Hiiro:
Eveam: Moreover, there is a significant distance between us and the bridge. Right now, I am unable to leave the castle for long periods of time. That is something that also holds true for the Cruel here, but
Eveam spoke while directing her line of sight towards Aquinas and the others.
Hiiro: I see. If there are such circumstances, it seems that you cant afford to use such magic at a moments notice. In addition, if we head to the bridge, it would undoubtedly turn into a fight and might create casualties, huh?
