[Truth be told, she’d had a thought to ask for assistance, however, being that she still freezes up a little when others touch her or get close to her, it is likely for the best that she’s struggled on her own. It’s an eventual success, regardless of how silly she looks doing it. Evidently Alexandria’s general does not make a habit of wearing much in the way of jewellery.

At Susato’s assessment, Beatrix dips her chin and settles her left hand over the glass charm holding its colourful cranes. She isn’t sure she understands how protection charms work. It seems like an older world magic and she wouldn’t be surprised if Gaia has something similar to it. Well, something not quite as devastating as Eidolons, which seem remarkably old.]

I must confess that I do not quite know how such things work. Back home, there are stories here and there about glorious, grand weapons with similar abilities, but I always wrote them off as mere folklore.

[Not a surprise considering what a sceptic Beatrix tends to be.]
