"Hmmm, even if I stack two sheets of this paper on top of each other, I can still see through the text underneath. This will make transcribing easier.

　The magic [telecopying] developed by Kyle was indeed a very useful magic.

　When a Reed family member casts the magic spell of "Neshasha" and then thinks of a sentence he wants to write in his mind, the letters are burned into his mind as if he were writing them on a typewriter.

　In no time at all, a neatly spaced string of letters appears on the paper.

　To be honest, I even envy them.

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

　I don't have access to the magic of the Reed family.

　In my case, I have to control my magic power for each letter to be able to write on paper with just my magic power.

　Although I don't have to move my hands anymore, the excellence of [telecopying] is still too great.

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

　But actually, this [telecopying] was not limited to letters only.

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

　In fact, this [Neshasha] was not limited to letters only, because we found other things that can be written without using ink by [Neshasha].

　Or, rather, it is not writing, but drawing.

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

　It seems that I could also draw pictures by using [Neshasha].

　If you have an image of what you want to draw in your mind, it will appear on the paper.

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

　In other words, anything can be expressed on paper as long as you can visualize it in your mind.

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

　For example, if you look at a building such as a house and [copy] it as it is, you can copy the house on paper.

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

　This is not limited to buildings.

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

　For example, it is also possible to capture a person.

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

　It can also be done with landscapes without any problem.

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

　In other words, Kyle's [telecopy] magic was a typewriter that could write letters, and also functioned as a camera that could capture landscapes.

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

　I never dreamed that such a thing was possible.

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

　Kyle really amazes me.

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

　I wonder how he could create such a spell.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Barca? This is a matter of great importance. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a matter of great importance.

"Ah, well, it may be a matter of life and death for the painter. From now on, any Reed artist can paint accurate landscapes. The advantage of being able to draw a precise picture even with his eyes closed has completely disappeared.

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

"What are you talking about?　That's not true. How can a masterpiece be created by just a few amateurs cutting out a random scene? You see, a masterpiece must be created by calculating how to express the scene. ......

"Yeah, unfortunately, they say water flows low. It's possible that a snapshot from a camera can surpass the skill of a professional."

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

"Or a camera?　Snap?　What are you talking about, Mr. Barca? Don't try to cover it up with such incomprehensible words."

"I'm not trying to deceive you. Well, it's going to be a tough time for the painter, that's for sure. I mean, if you call yourself a painter, don't you have to not only accurately depict things that exist in reality, but also abstract them?　I don't know."

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

"Abstraction. Actually, I've always been able to draw realistically, but I'm not good at simplifying things. ....... What should I do?

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

"I don't know. You're an artist, you have to figure it out for yourself. Well, it's done. We made it."

"Ah ......, you've created a hell of a magic, Kyle-sama. This is really bad for business.

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

"No, it might be good for you too, Mr. Painter. It will be easy to make a lot of reproductions.

　It was Mosh, a painter entrusted with the task of drawing human anatomy charts, who realized that the [teleportation] magic that Kyle had created could also be used for painting.

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

　He was fed up with the life of drawing human organs every day, and wondered if he could somehow finish the job right away.

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

　So, without thinking, he picked up a brush and a piece of paper and chanted "Nemosha.

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

　And he succeeded.

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

　The organs of the human body, which were too realistic, were depicted on the paper.

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

　However, if you tell this to the meme in charge of autopsies, they may happily hand over the organs one after another.

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

　However, as a painter, I could not keep this secret.

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

　That is why he came all the way to tell me.

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

　But telling this to me was not going to solve the problem.

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

　I need him to confront the magic that might threaten his profession as a painter by his own power.

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

　Then, I turned my attention once again to the characteristics of this "telecopy" that can depict anything.

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

　If it is possible to depict an image as it is, then it should be easy to duplicate it.

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

　I thought of a method of copying by overlapping sheets of paper.

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

　If you stack two sheets of paper made by Barca and look through them, you can see what is drawn on the lower sheet.

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

　What happens if you make a "telecopy" on the upper paper in this state?

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

　As a result of the experiment, the letters and drawings were successfully depicted as if they had been traced.

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

"But what's the point of taking the trouble to duplicate them, Mr. Barca?

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

"Well, it depends on how you use it. For example, if you show a picture painted by a painter to a Reed family in another land and have them copy it, you will get exactly the same thing. It is the same with landscapes. This means that we can make a lot of copies in Vulcania or Fontana and distribute them. We can definitely share the exact same information.

"Oh, so Barka-sama is only thinking about war after all."

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

"Not at all, Mr. Painter. I'm thinking of using it for business.

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

"Business?　I heard that you want to sell the book, but to be honest, it won't sell that well, will it?"

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

No, it should sell. I sell [photocopied] images of people."

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

"A picture of a person? Yes, by any chance.

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

"Yes. I'll sell you a portrait of a pretty, beautiful woman. A photo book of idols would surely sell. I bet even illiterate people would be willing to buy them."

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

　You can include some erotic elements if you want.

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

　The power of eroticism to popularize new things cannot be underestimated.

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

　Thus, I began to sell pictures of women as models, which I had made into "telecopy" pictures.
