After Elsie became chairman of the board, it was some time before the store's management had settled down.
　I was to teach Elsie about creation magic.

　I asked Miss Elsie, "When can I get a lesson in creation magic? I panicked when you asked me about it.
　Because I seriously forgot about it.
　I was so busy that I forgot about it, okay?

　That's why I got a rush job teaching today.

Sorry to disturb you.

Yeah, go ahead.
　I'm at Elsie's house.
　When Elsie took over as president, she got a house from Colt.
　Of course, Elsie said no, but then Colt talked her into it .......

　That means that ...... her house is bigger than mine.
　I guess it's no different than my grandmother's house. .......

　While I was thinking about this, I was shown to Elsie's room.

Then, nice to meet you. Leo-kun.

　I bowed as best I could as Elsie bowed nicely.
''Yes . I look forward to working with you. Well then, I'd like to teach you now, but Elsie-san can't manipulate magic, can she?

Yes. I can't. ......
　Oh, Elsie got depressed.

Oh, don't be so depressed!　From now on, you'll be able to do it as soon as you practice.
　Hurriedly consoling her.

'Are you sure?　Thank you.

No, no. And I just want to tell you a few things before we start practicing.

Is that what you want to know?

'Yes. Why can't anyone but me use creation magic?　Do you understand?

I don't know: ...... Speaking of which, how can Leo-kun use creation magic?

I believe that creation magic requires a lot of magic and magical manipulation.

''I see, ...... but that doesn't sound like ...... I'd be able to use my creation magic. ......

'What?　Why have you given up already?
　Isn't it too early?

''Because there's no way I can expect to have significant magical growth now that I'm over fifteen years old.
　Really?　Is there a period of time when magic power grows .......

'I see. ...... doesn't mean it doesn't grow at all, does it?

'Yes, I do, but ......'

That's all right. It may take longer than expected.

Are you sure: ......?

Really?
　After saying that, I showed Elsie what I had prepared for her.

''This is ...... Mithril and ...... the ridiculous magic stone that Leo-kun is always pouring his magic power into, right?
　Speaking of which, did I ever pour my magic power into a magic stone in front of ...... Elsie?
　Oh, the time Master asked for the Demon Stone!

Yes, that's right. I will use it to create a magic item.

What kind of magic item are you going to build?

'It's a magical item that will help Elsie-san grow in her magical power.

Can you build something like that ......?

Yes, sir. I think this will do the trick.
　It's going to grow at an extraordinary rate.

Okay, ...... then, please.

Yes, sir. I'll be right with you.

　How many times have we built this already?
　This is the fourth time I've built ...... for Sherry, Lena and Belle.

　It was ready when I was thinking about it.

Yes, there you go. Put this around your neck at all times.
　I'll give Miss Elsie a freshly made necklace.

Wow, okay: ...... Thank you very much.

'Well then, now that we're all set, let's get to work on our creation magic.

Nice to meet you.


''So, you see, ....... Since you can't use magic control, I'm going to have you learn ...... magic control.
　Maybe we need to do that one: .......

'Okay. So what do I have to do?

''Well, ...... first of all, I'd like to confirm that ......, Elsie, can you feel your magic?''

I can't do it ...... What's the problem if I can't do it?

No, no!　I don't have a problem with it: ...... I understand.


　Yeah. ...... I guess I'll just have to make up my mind.

"Miss Elsie, would you mind if I asked you to lie on your back there?

'What?　Yes, I understand.

''From now on, ...... I will move Elsie-san's magic, so you can feel how to move it with your body.

Okay. Best regards.
　I think Elsie could feel my nervousness, and she got a nervous look on her face.

''Yes . There's no need to be nervous . Just relax.

　All right, let's go.
　I'm going to put my hand on Elsie's belly and explore her magic ......
　It's not very much, but it's not nearly enough to use ...... creative magic.

　Okay, let's move it.
　Let's move it around a bit.

"Huh?
　And sure enough, Miss Elsie made a funny noise.
　Oops, never mind, never mind.

I don't care. Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Then I'll move it, and you can bear with me at ......

What?

　Then, a few minutes later.
'Feng, is that about right?　Do you think you can move it yourself?

"Yes, yes, yes ...... move ......, yes .......
　Miss Elsie said, but she was out of breath.

'Do you want to take a break?'
　Did I overdo it a bit?

Yes, yes ...... please.

　Then we took a break for about 30 minutes.
Then try moving it around.

Yes, I'll try.
　Miss Elsie said and put her hand on her belly.

'How do you feel?'

...... is ready!
　Miss Elsie looked at me happily.

''I'm glad to hear that. Now all we have to do is just try to keep moving the magic around.
　It's going to be a slow and steady process.

I understand ...... how long do I have to do this?

Until I can move the magic all over my body.

Whole body?　It doesn't move that much, does it?

It's okay. If you do it again and again, you'll get it right the first time.
　At first, everyone is like that .

I see. ...... I'll try my best.

　Two weeks later
'Leo-kun, I'm able to move my magic power all over my body!

Are you sure?　Then let's move on to the next step.

What do you want me to do next?

Next time, pour your magic into this magical stone.
　Then he gave Elsie the magic stone.
　It's an empty magic stone without any magic in it.

''Okay ...... but how do I pour it in?''

That's easy to do if you're conscious of transferring the magic power from your hands to the magic stone.

'Okay, I'll try ......
　When Elsie held the magic stone, her face was focused.
　Then the magic stone lit up.

And voila!

"Congratulations. All you have to do now is practice. Keep working your magic.

Okay. I'll pour the best I can.

Oh, and. Pour your magic into each session until it's gone. Otherwise, it won't matter.
　Magic grows best when it's gone.

Okay. That's all of it.

''Yes. Well then, shall we start practicing our creation magic when our magic power exceeds 2,000?

Two thousand?　I can't . I can't do it!
　You don't have to ask me to do that.



No, it's not. How much magic do you have now?

When I saw him yesterday, his magic power was about nine hundred.

There's only 1,000 more to go. It's as simple as that.

'No, it's not!　We only got so far up in two weeks, you know?
　It's true that ...... growth speed is slow, but .

''Oh well, if you use the magic stones to train them, your growth speed will increase .
　You have nothing to worry about.

Are you sure?　Then I'll do my best at .......

Yes, good luck with that.

　One week later
Leo!　We've reached our goal of two thousand!
　A happy Elsie reported back to me.
　That's sooner than I expected.
　She must have done a great job: .......

'Are you sure?　Thanks for your help. We can finally practice our creation magic.

'Really, finally. ...... But I can finally do magic too!


　Then I came to Miss Elsie's house again.
Well, you can have that.

Is this a ...... branch?

Okay. It's just a branch right there.

What are you going to do with this branch?

Here's what you do.
　Then he transformed the branch into a wooden spoon.

The shape has changed: ......

'The basis of creative magic is using materials to build things.

I didn't know that: ....... I've always thought that you could build things from scratch. Come to think of it, when Leo built this for me, you also prepared the materials for it.
　Elsie was convinced as she looked at the necklace I had made.
　Oh, thank God you're swallowing so fast!

"It's not absolutely necessary to have the materials. It's just that it can be made like this. But it does use a lot of magic, and your level of creative magic must be high.
　Demonstrating and explaining the creation of a stuffed panda without materials .

'Oh, I didn't know that ......

Well, I'll tell you what. Let's try some creative magic.
　Practice makes perfect.

Okay, sure. How do I do this for a spell?

"It's easy. Just picture what you want to build. Oh, and don't forget to pour your magic on the branches.

Okay. I'll try.
　Elsie grabbed a branch and began to pour her magic power into it .

　Then the ...... branch began to glow.
　And then it began to change shape.
　A little while later, what we have is ......

　It was me.

It was me.

Yes, I tried to visualize Leo. But then again, you really can do it just by imagining it.

Ummm, yeah, .......
　So why me?

'Now I'm a wizard too!　I'm so happy for you!
　Well, it's a good thing he looks happy.

　More importantly, it proves that non-me can use creation magic too.
　Doesn't this completely negate the fact that creation magic is an incompetent magic?

　But I wonder if it's going to be hard for Elsie-san to be able to build magic items: .......
　Elsie is fifteen years old, and it's still a little difficult for her to grow up to the point where she can create magic items.
　Well, he's happy to be able to use magic, so there's no need to think about anything else.

　I felt that way when I saw Elsie looking at my figurines and seeing her happy.
