"...both?"
I muttered out those words as I looked at him with a confused expression.
I subconsciously lean myself closer to him as I was also curious about how mana works in this world.
Cristo gazed at me with his usual emotionless eyes as he nodded at my statement.
"Yeah. Although mana can make some of us live longer, it can also shorten someone's life-span. They will die young and will never experience old age throughout their life."
My growing curiosity and excitement soon came to a stop after hearing his statement.
My eyes immediately went wide when I discovered the grim side of people possessing mana.
"...That's-"
"Reality."
My statement was immediately cut off by Cristo.
I looked at him as I avert my eyes from him and decided to stay silent afterward.
'... Turns out having mana isn't great as I thought it would be.'
Not long after, we finally arrived at my castle. There are still Directive Knights doing their inspection on us.
