"Thank you very much."

　I, my parents, and the other villagers who had attended the baptismal ceremony like us left the church, bowing to the priest and sisters.

　Immediately after the baptism, the children who had newly gained access to magic began to use it.

　Of course, they were only curious, and their parents were angry with them.

　But as I watched, I tried to invoke the magic of life myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, I found out something.

　It turns out that all life magic is uniform.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, the light that appears when you cast the word "lighting" has the same brightness and size, and the duration of effect is the same.

　The scale of the phenomena produced by invoking a spell such as "ignite" or "drink water" is the same for all of them.

　It seems that this is the same when comparing a child who has just learned life magic and an adult who has been using it for a long time.

　As for myself, no matter how much I tried to improve the effectiveness of my magic, I could not see any change.

　What this means is that I can't arrange the life magic of [ignition] to be a flamethrower-like magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be honest, I am a little disappointed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had been thinking that if I could get life magic, I might be able to solve this problem, since I had not been able to create fire and water by magic.

　I guess you could say that my faint hopes were dashed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it's a pity, but it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's forget about the idea of improving the magic of life for now.

　Because this baptismal ceremony had one more thing in store for me.

　The magic circle that Father Paul was using.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I went home, excited that perhaps it is in the magic circle that we can see the depths of the magic of this world.

　The magic circle

"No, I have no idea."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was good that I could perfectly remember the magic circle that Father Paul used by using the original magic called [Memory Retention].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I am still unable to decipher the magic circle that seems to be filled with incomprehensible symbols.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, thinking about it, I don't even know the proper script of this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So far, I've been trying to make a living first and foremost, and to achieve that goal, I've been studying magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only letter I have learned to write properly is my name, Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not even sure if the symbols inscribed on the magic circle are still in use today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was while I was pondering this in the forest house I had built as a hideout.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Bleep, beep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I hear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first I didn't know what it was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the sound was coming from around my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turned my body and looked at my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, you're finally going to be born!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Inside the net containing the eggs of the messenger beast that was wrapped around my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was the source of the mysterious sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The eggshell had cracked with a creaking sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not that I stepped on it or anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The crack spread as if applying force from the inside to the outside, and pieces of the eggshell fell to the floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hurriedly took the egg out of the net and put it on the floor in the center of the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By this time, the egg has grown to more than double its original size.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a little smaller than a softball.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what kind of beastie will be born.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We continue to watch the eggshells cracking with excitement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is long. Shouldn't I help them break it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The messenger beast inside seemed to have more trouble cracking the eggs than expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since they did not come out easily, I wondered if they were really all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that my fears were unfounded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After waiting for a long time, the beast finally broke the shell by itself and revealed itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A four-legged animal with white fur all over its body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On its head was a small but magnificent horn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had two horns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were not straight, but bent twice at nearly right angles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had antlers like a reindeer, and soft, fuzzy white fur covered its entire body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the form of the beast that was born from my magical power.
