1920 the 1920th episode



"This... you did a great job again."

 Marina muttered admiringly when she looked at the mud wall.
 You never thought you'd have built such a wall.

"Wow..."

 Marina's student's e-mail also exclaims admiringly as she looks at the mud wall spreading before her.
 I was surprised by Ray's magic skills, asking how much effort it would take to build such a wall.
 ...it wasn't really magic or anything, but it used the geographical manipulation skills that Death Size had acquired through magic.
 Marina understands that, but she's not Ray's companion, and she's heard that Marina's apprenticeship is until spring before she arrives here.
 In other words, as long as he was not supposed to tell Ray's secret, it was necessary to mislead him into believing that death-size skills were Ray's magic.

"Don't be a little embarrassed to be so complimented. ... As far as I can see, is there no Cobold who has climbed the mud wall?"

 To divert the subject, Ray says so.
 However, not just for that reason, but also for the actual circumstances around it.
 As far as we can see, there is no trace of Cobold climbing over the mud wall.
 ...it's not perfect, though, since it's only within sight of Ray.
 At any rate, with Marina... and the email, it was certain that the mud wall would become stronger.

"Well, I suppose there are some of them over the mud wall."

 Marina's words also make Ray nod, perhaps because of the spirit magic or the sense of being a dark elf.

"Yes, but if you can't climb this wall, you'll soon be in the direction of Gigant Turtle. ... It'll be hard there."
"What? Is there a cobolt over there!"

 Unlike Ray and Marina, he probably didn't know that there was a Cobold behind the wall. Mail hears their conversation and looks around hurriedly.

"No, that's why it's over the mud wall. What are you going to do when you look over here?"

 Ray says so dumbfoundedly in his email.
 Once again, Ray began to wonder if this person was really OK, but he was honest that as long as Marina said she was OK, she had to leave it to him.
 I don't think I've read Ray's idea, but Marina opens her mouth, caressing the head of an email about a head smaller than herself.

"Well, let's do it first. ... You know, don't get nervous. As I've said over and over again, email is definitely a full-fledged spiritual wizard. All you have to do is make it possible to demonstrate that ability on a daily basis." ... okay?"
"...yes,"

 The e-mail responds to Marina's words in a small way, concentrating on her attention.
 Watching it, Ray and Seto move away from the mail by Marina's hand.
 Naturally, Seto also moved with Ray, leaving no one around him.

"Why are you leaving?"
"She can't concentrate very much when there are people around her. I think she needs to do something about that."
"And again... I'll ask you, is email an adventurer?"
"Yes. But as you can see, I'm very shy, so I can't have a party and I'm working solo."
"Isn't solo... impossible?"

 By Ray's eyes, email is what we call a spiritual magic specialization.
 I don't know exactly how well I can use the magic, but I don't think I'm good at close combat, though I don't say that I'm an amateur in how to move my body.

(If you can invoke spirit magic right away, like Marina, I don't think a spirit magic is a problem. Well, Marina can also use a bow.)

 However, as far as I can see, it takes a reasonable amount of time for emails to invoke spirit magic.
 Being a solo adventurer in these circumstances... must be pretty tough, if not impossible.

(If I could only do spirit magic like I did in the email, I would use spirit magic to defeat the enemy from a hidden place so that they wouldn't attack me...or I wouldn't get any requests to kill me, and I would be specialized in collecting them.)

 In Ray's case, because of his personality, high income, and, above all, his need for magic, he could not take such an option, but if he had the ability to solo and email, that would be the best option.

"Ray, look."

 It was Marina's voice that interrupted Ray's thinking.
 Marina's voice turned her gaze to find that the spirit magic of the mail was starting to work there.
 The first thing that came out was a mass of water.
 It was as if it were slime or something -- a foot above the ground -- and water was bubbling up in the air.

"Yes,"

 Ray's mouth exclaims at the sight of water floating in the air.
 The volume of the water was reasonable, and Ray thought it was large enough to fill up a 25-meter pool.
 Ray had heard from Marina that she was talented, but she was honest that she had never thought that was the end of it.
 Marina looks at Ray with a smile.
 He seemed to be looking at me, saying, "I won't say anything, but I told you, did I?"
 To such a marina, Ray nods a little, reflecting on his lack of sight.
 Seto is also gazing interestingly at the water floating in the air by Ray's side.
 At the sight of two people and one eye, the mail makes a request to the water spirit to move the water.
 When the water lands on a wall, it is absorbed into the wall.
 However, the amount of water that the mail called out by spirit magic is far from enough to penetrate all the mud walls.
 I guess they understand the e-mail, but that's the limit of the amount of water that can be called by the e-mail.

"Well, Marina. What shall we do next? Shall we let all the mud walls absorb water, or shall we call the Spirit of the Wind and freeze it for now?"

 Spirits of the wind to freeze?, Ray wonders, but when he thinks the wind blows cold when wet, he looks at the situation first, wondering if it's wrong to freeze.

"Well, for the time being, I had some interaction with water spirits, so show me the spirit of the wind next time."
"Yes, yes!"

 When the Mail replies to Marina's words, it starts to focus again and call the Spirit.
 Then a strong, cold wind began to blow around faster than when the water was called.

"It works a lot faster than water. Is this because email is compatible with wind spirits?"
"No,"

 Marina readily declares to Ray's words.
 Not expecting to be declared so, Ray turns to Marina for confirmation.
 But Marina, right in front of Ray's gaze, doesn't seem to be joking in particular.

"No, what do you mean? The wind started blowing faster than when we were in water, right?
"No doubt about it, but if you ask me which one goes better with the email, it's water... ...just because I got used to being nervous and confused about using spirit magic in front of Ray."
"Are you used to it?"
"Yes, I suppose you were not yet accustomed to performing spirit magic in front of Ray. ... As a result, it took some time to concentrate your attention and speak to the Spirit."
"...can you really be an adventurer? If it takes a long time for people to attack you just because you're watching, I don't think it's going to work if you're attacked by monsters or bandits."Once again, Ray understood the reason why email was solo, but he honestly felt that this was terrible.
 With Marina coaching, competence itself is not at all bad.
 But the biggest problem with email was its weakness before its ability.
 It's also very doubtful whether he can talk to guild officials or not. It's not just Ray's imagination that makes him think so.

"That's true, but you can change your personality if you want, and that's what email can do to change your personality if you want to."

 And while they talk, the wind around them quickly cools down.
 Ray has Dragon Robes and Marina doesn't seem particularly concerned about the use of spiritual magic, but if someone here couldn't ignore the temperature around her, she would probably have quivered with cold.
 You can't judge it by looking at it, but it was still almost certain that the mud walls were frozen.
 And a few minutes later... the mail turns to Marina and smiles a rare big smile, perhaps determining that the mud wall was successful.
 Usually, the e-mail had a weak expression on its face, but still, it was as good as it was, so there was no doubt that it would warm the hearts of the viewers.

"How was it? I tried my best..."
"What did you think of it? Did you think it went well?"
"Well... yes, I understand that the Spirit has granted my request."
"Well, that's all right, then. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
"Ugh,"

 Just as she was happy, a word came out of Marina's mouth.
 It reminds the mail of reality.

"That's because... it's going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on."
"Well, fortunately, dark elves live longer than humans, and they may be more and more like... but if you say this time, next time, next time... you can't do something that will change forever."

 Marina's words remind Ray of his time in Japan.
 homework given out by the school during an extended vacation
 Let's do it from today. Let's do it from tomorrow. No, from the day after tomorrow. After thinking like that, summer vacation is coming to an end and I'm so busy that I don't even have time to play.
 The current e-mail and Ray at the time seem similar but different.

"Well, for the time being, I think I did a great job today. ... Well, I was supposed to have e-mailed somewhere else, but I think I should have done it earlier. I think I got some tips on spirit magic."

 Stay back.
 Marina, who tells Ray and Mail, focuses her attention as she moves close to the mud wall.
 The act itself is no different from e-mail.
 However, what is different from e-mail is the time from concentration to speaking to the spirit.
 Marina was overwhelmingly faster than email.
 The difference can be said to be a direct difference in spirit magic skills.

"Wow..."

 Words of admiration came out of the e-mail.
 I can only admire the use of spirit magic at an impossible rate.

"Please,"

 Such a short word produces water.
 That's also the amount of water that you can tell at a glance that the mail is clearly different from the amount of water it produces.
 Eventually the water stands on a straight stick... or something like a snake of water... or something like that... and lands on the earth wall.
 As a result, the water produced permeated the mud wall without waste.
 When I received the email, the water never seeped so cleanly, and the water leaked to places other than the mud wall.
 With that in mind, Marina's magic skills are incomparably better than her emails.
 The scale is also very different.
 In the case of e-mail, water could only seep into a part of the wall, but Marina had seeped water all over it at once.
 When Marina determined that the water had been sufficiently soaked, the next thing she would do was to call the Spirit of the Wind.
 ...this is also different from e-mail.
 In the case of the email, it was all around... and that was the cold wind that reached Ray and his colleagues a little further away.
 Fortunately, neither Ray, Marina nor Seto cared about that level of wind, so it didn't affect them.
 At any rate, the spirit magic of the wind used by Marina had no effect on the surroundings... completely frozen the whole mud wall.
