“Hey, if you could have another ability, what would you want? Maybe Brother Terisier’s ability?”

Luke, who was in the living room, suddenly asked Moa Ablon out of curiosity.

Moa Ablon tilted her head at the unexpected question.

“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

“I’m just curious. You’ve fought well even with your current ability. I was wondering what it would be like if you had an ability that everyone would find impressive.”

Anise, with a curious look, watched them. The others were absent, so only the three of them were present.

Moa Ablon thought for a moment before answering in her usual calm tone.

“Well, I think each ability has its pros and cons, and they’re all attractive in their own way.”

“Honestly?”

“Khan’s ability.”

Luke asked again, seemingly surprised by her choice, and Moa Ablon answered as if she had been waiting for the question.

It was unexpected, considering she might have wished for something as overpowered as Terisier’s ability or the top-tier offensive ability of Obella, or even the special abilities of Zerdan or Anise.

Anise, perhaps surprised or disappointed for not choosing her own ability, slightly pouted her lips and asked why.

“I think it’s a versatile ability with high utility. I believe it would have even higher value if developed further. Honestly, if Luke had such an ability, I would have recommended developing ways to use it together.”

“Is it really that valuable? It seems like just a… fairly ordinary ability. It seems convenient for moving around, but that’s about it.”

Luke looked confused.

Given that he had only seen Khan’s ability used for moving others, it made sense.

However, considering Khan’s initial use of shadows to find Anise, it was clear that tracking was possible, and not just people but objects could also be moved.

Moreover, recently seeing Khan use shadows to restrain Liffree indicated that the ability had more potential.

“You could use it to evade attacks, restrain an opponent’s movements, or even change locations to put them in a difficult position. I think with proper use, it’s quite capable of offensive actions as well. Additionally, since it involves shadows, there are fewer limitations, and you could come up with many ways to exploit the opponent’s carelessness.”

“Is that so…?”

“Yeah. Khan probably knows to some extent, but if he proved the value too much, Zerdan would have made things even harsher, so he probably kept quiet. I think Zerdan knew and just pretended not to.”

Moa Ablon said with a smile, murmuring that Zerdan couldn’t have been unaware.

Anise, recalling how she was kidnapped by Khan’s ability at first, realized again how terrifying it was. Still, she asked cautiously because she didn’t fully understand.

“But Moa, I think the offensive power of the leader or Luke is higher. As for uniqueness, I’d say my ability and those of Lazis and Sidon are more exceptional.”

“There are pros and cons. I just think Khan’s ability fits well with my personality and how I use it.”

Moa Ablon using shadows.

Despite her bright appearance, her personality and the dark ambiance of the shadow ability suited her quite well.

Seeing Anise and Luke nod in agreement, Moa Ablon made a subtle expression.

Is there something slightly unpleasant about this positive affirmation?

“So what about Terisier’s ability? It doesn’t even compare to Khan’s. I thought for sure you’d say Terisier’s ability without a second thought.”

“Of course, Terisier’s ability is overpowered.”

Spatial manipulation. While it has its limitations and weaknesses, it was undoubtedly an extremely powerful ability.

Moa Ablon, lightly agreeing, slowly crossed her legs.

If it were Terisier’s ability, life would certainly be easier.

“But isn’t it boring if life is too easy?”

“…If it were you, Sis, you’d probably use your ability so well that life would be easier.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“It wasn’t exactly a compliment. If, in the situation from earlier, the one with spatial manipulation had been you instead of Brother Terisier, we would have had a hard time winning, right?”

Luke asked with a genuinely serious expression, and Anise made a thoughtful sound and nodded.

Seeing the two of them, Moa Ablon gave a pleasant smile.

“Well, would you like to test it with Terisier’s ability?”

Her eyes were pleasantly narrowed, but the green eyes within shone colder than expected, causing Luke to quickly shake his head.

Curious, but life is precious, so he should be careful.
