"My relationship with that girl is about the same as my relationship with you."
Shade told the truth, but to keep Luvia from overthinking it, he added:
"If she ever gets the chance to truly meet you, she'll call you elder sister too."
He tried not to picture the bizarre scene he had just described.
"I don't care about that."
The Girl with Purple Eyes continued listening to Shade's heartbeat, and she felt herself growing drowsy again:
"Since she's completely reliable, what are the conditions for summoning her with your Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation? Her situation should be different from those ancient Great Witches, shouldn't it? Otherwise, the Low-Ring Words of Sublimation would be enough."
Aside from that drop of divinity from the World Tree, this was indeed Shade's most important gain from the Battle of Vesta Woodland. After briefly speaking with "her" in his heart, Shade answered Luvia:
"Using the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation is even harsher than using the Low-Ring version. Galina and Dorothy were absolutely not exaggerating, because no exaggeration could be more outrageous than reality. So, as for the summoning conditions... let's put it this way, they're no easier than God Summoning."
Long-Haired Luvia was an existence even more dangerous to this world than a god. Shade had long known that, so before truly using the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation, he had never imagined he could actually call her forth. Therefore, although Long-Haired Luvia could still appear whenever he used those Words of Sublimation again, the restrictions were extremely, extremely strict.
"Explain in detail."
Luvia said, and Shade continued:
"First is the occasion of use. The Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation can only be used when facing certain enemies. I have to encounter such an enemy myself before I can know whether it meets the conditions."
