"Sir, I can keep tracking."

Although the human form of the water droplets melts into the lake in front of them.

But this phenomenon does not mean that Kostadt's spells are over.

The maid's gaze was on the ripples that had only appeared on the water in front of her, and her tone did not fluctuate at all:

"The spell continues to capture this man's tracks, and I am sure I can find his location all the way."

Ronald nodded in understanding, and then asked:

"But Kostadt, did this guy continue to flee into the lake, or did he leave in the direction of the shore?"

The maid replied without any delay:

"In the range he is currently tracking, he is swimming deep into the lake."

"Is it in the lake......

Hearing the other party's actions, Ronald's eyes cast into the distance of the lake.

The water source in front of the three of them came from the magnificent waterfall of Waterfall City, and the scope was so wide that it even covered the entire city. If you want to explore deep into the water...... It's okay for Ronald to have perfect underwater mobility himself, but what about Costadt and Nicole?

Ronald's eyes changed as he thought about the problem.

Nicole next to her saw this scene.

I immediately realized what Ronald was thinking.

"Ronald, leave the method of tracking on the water to me." Nicole took the initiative to take over the task while walking towards the side of the alley, "This thing is my need after all, and it's not good to ask you all about it." ”

As she spoke, Nicole's fingers carved runes into a small bush at the edge of the alley, revealing fluctuations in her magical power.

“……”

Witnessing the girl's movements, Ronald raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nicole's spell-casting ability is very different from when she met in Brunwich a year ago, and it is still in a process of rapid change.

Here's an example.

Half a month ago, in the underground of the Arctic Continent, Nicole's spell could still feel that it was born from the original ability system, and it was only greatly strengthened in terms of power and magic control.

And now......

There is already a sense of qualitative change.

It's as if in some fantasy stories, the magic used by ordinary magicians is directly promoted to the level of divine power.

Is this unexpected Odin ritual so effective?

Ronald was full of emotion in his heart, and Nicole's spell was also confirming everything he felt at this time.

At the edge of the alley, the dwarf shrub that had grown naturally was undergoing unimaginable changes under Nicole's spell interference.

In a matter of seconds, it broke through its limits and grew a stout piece of wood that did not conform to the growth pattern at all, and then grew into a suitable shape on its own, and finally turned into a boat-like boat.

Plop –

Then, with its own small strength, the shrubs pushed the 'big' boat that they had bred into the lake beside it.

And wait until the process is completely over.

It is no different from before Nicole casts the spell, and still grows on the ground of the alley in its original form.

If it weren't for the magic fluctuations in the air that were still easily dispersed, I had seen this process with my own eyes just now. I'm afraid that no matter how much Ronald thinks about it, he can't guess that the boat floating in the lake at this moment actually grows from this shrub in just a few seconds!

“……”

"The speed at which your spell is progressing is truly impressive."

Ronald couldn't help but compliment the other party, and Nicole nodded proudly in acknowledgment.

"Of course, I'm not blind in one eye!"

"And Ronald, this is because I don't have seeds that have been processed in advance, if there is a more suitable target for casting, such as mistletoe or oak, then I can do more interesting operations!"

Smiling and showing her current ability, Nicole picked up two stones on the ground as if showing off.

It's still just a finger writing runes on it.

In the blink of an eye, the stone began to deform, and then became two oars, one wide and flat, and the other thin and long.

Next, he jumped onto the boat as the owner.

Ni could use the oars to steer the ship in the direction of the ship before beckoning Ronald and Kostadt to come up with her.

The three of them boarded Nicole's makeshift boat and began to track down the lake of Waterfall City under the guidance of Costa's spells.

……

in the process of tracking.

Because of the operation of the oars, Nicole's hair, which had not had time to be taken care of, was wrapped around her arms, and looking at the color of her hair, the guy asked Ronald in hindsight:

"That's right, Ronald. Why is my hair still white? ”

"Before, because of the loss of vitality, my hair turned white, which is understandable. But these new ones have recently grown up, and they still can't get back to their original colors! ”

While muttering about her worries, Nicole took the initiative to put her head in front of Ronald and almost pushed it into his arms.

He looked at the man in front of him with the only cherry red eyes.

The investigator girl continued:

"And the color of my eyes is still like this, did you forget to deal with it when you transformed my body?"

“……”

Being brought in front of him by the girl in such a posture, Ronald was speechless for a while.

He spent a few seconds trying to mentally assemble the excuses.

Only then did he explain:

"Nicole, genetically modifying is quite a complicated thing."

"When I modified you, I made changes based on your original body. And at that time, in order to ensure your absolute health in life, I didn't interfere with your appearance at all! ”

“……”

"W-is that so?"

Hearing Ronald's explanation, Ni dragged out a long tail note in a confused tone.

However, the investigator girl quickly shook her head in relief:

"That's it, I don't care much about the appearance anyway."

"It's just Ronald, this shouldn't affect my health or eyesight in the future, right?"

"That's all I have left!"

"At this time, you know that you are distressed." Ronald scolded Nicole with a smile, and then let the other party relax, "You can be absolutely at ease in terms of health, my transformation of you at that time was mainly in this regard, how could you miss something?" ”

After receiving such a guarantee, Nicole immediately showed a lovely smile:

"Then I'm relieved!"

“……”

Here, Ronald and Nicole whispered about spells transforming their bodies. And Kostat, who was sitting at the front of the ship, was constantly using spells to confirm the direction of the target to be tracked.

The maid felt that her mood was a little delicate at the moment, but she couldn't say what it was.

So out of my own habit.

Kostat didn't ask anything, but said earnestly:

"Miss Nicole, control the ship and turn right in the direction ahead."

"The target we are tracking seems to be going ashore ahead."
