19th E-Book: Truth Removes the Chains and Slaps on the Cuffs [Visual]

[magicalrealist]

I was in on Zetta's plan the whole time. I let myself be captured to play the role needed of me...and while I'm not proud of it, I still lied to all of you. I made you worry and I deceived you. I couldn't tell anyone, but that doesn't excuse what I did.

My word might not mean much, if anything, anymore, but...I'm sorry.

Oh, it's one of those...

(Twilight has seen the Baal Sword, Luna. She has seen it)

At least it means your attack animation practice is going well!

[noxequus]

[Well, it's not the Baal Sword. It's maybe... half a Baal.]

Truly, I have settled easily into the essence of a Netherworld. However, I still need to further train this mana power. Zetta has endurance I could not even begin to match at my most desperate.

[magicalrealist]

To be fair, he has several millennia on his side.

(And a girlfriend funneling her own power into him)

If there's any way I can help you train, I'd do so.

(As long as it doesn't mean becoming a girlfriend who'll transfer her power into you)

[noxequus]

[You know, Twilight, all that obsessing over Salome and Luna might think you're jealous. Did you want to date an overlord too?]

...I believe what I need is endurance training, outside of battle.

In other words, I need more experience in... fun.

[magicalrealist]

(No. Yes. Maybe.

SHUT UP

Sorry Luna, but now Twilight is the one laughing. She forces it down before too long.)

I'm sorry, Luna; that just brought back a very particular memory from a long time ago.

(You should know it, too. It's how you and Twilight first really met, wasn't it?)

[noxequus]

[The grin the princess is bearing is at least a sign that it was an intentional reference. Though technically she first met Twilight when Nightmare Moon got a face full of friendship]

Well, it seems I have forgotten those initial lessons... or at least, I am out of practice. I was too busy trying to keep a country running despite the wishes of my sister, and so too much fun - or too much expenditure of my mana power - leaves me drained far too quickly.

[magicalrealist]

Then the first step is a recap of those lessons. It shouldn't take too long. After that come practice with regular implementation of those lessons. Once you have a regulated schedule of fun, then you can work on extended channeling of mana power.

(In other words, work on those fun muscles! Thankfully, Luna can understand Twilight's more verbose sentences without clarification.)
