"Hmmm, I'm getting the hang of this."

 I looked at the magic stone in the palm of my hand and murmured.

 In my hand is a blue-colored stone.

 Or perhaps I should call it a crystalline body rather than a stone.

 A beautiful blue crystal-like crystal was in my hand.

 I have been studying the magic stone ever since.

 And I have learned a few things.

 First of all, the magic stone can be created by my magic power.

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


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


 That means that the magic stone may not be a metal but a kind of glass.

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


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


 The reason is that I couldn't reproduce the flame ore I got from the Fox Valley with my magic power no matter how much I tried.

 Perhaps, considering the magical properties of my magic that can make glass and crystal, but not iron and other metals, magic stone may be closer to glass than to metals.

 And this magic stone seems to be like a battery in simple terms.

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


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


 I was able to add magic power to the magic stone I created.

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


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


 At first it was a pale blue color, but the more magic power I put into it, the darker the blue became.

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


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


 And conversely, when the magic power is removed from the stone, the color of the stone becomes lighter.

 It may be useful to know the amount of magic power stored in the stone at a glance.

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


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


 By the way, when the magic power is completely gone, the stone looks like a transparent crystal, which I think is beautiful.

 Now I'm going to spend some time to create a magic to mass-produce this magic stone instantly.

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


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


 The reason for doing that was, of course, to use it as a battery.

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


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


 If the magic stone is filled with magic power, it can be used as a substitute for magic restoration medicine.

 But more than that, I'm hoping that it will make it easier to use the flame ore.

 I made a balloon with the flame ore.

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


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


 Inside the fabric of the balloon, I poured magic power into the flame ore and blew fire like a burner to power the hot air balloon.

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


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


 The flight test of the balloon ended in failure due to my inexperience in piloting the balloon.

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


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


 However, I believe that the data from the balloon experiment will be useful in the future.

 There was something that concerned me during the balloon flight experiment.

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


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


 One of them was how to control the amount of flame that appeared when I poured magic power into the flame ore.

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


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


 I thought that it would be easier to use the device when the need arises if I could control the intensity of the fire with a lever or something.

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


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


 But that was just for the sake of it.

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


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


 What concerned me the most was the fact that I had to keep pouring magic power into the flame ore.

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


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


 In other words, a person with magic power would have to keep pouring magic power into it to keep it from catching fire.

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


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


 This is a little problematic.

 To put it bluntly, it would be better to have a system that can continue to be used without any problem even if the user is sleeping.

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


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


 Furthermore, we would like to eliminate the system in which the time of use depends on the amount of the pilot's magical power.

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


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


 This will surely become a problem when we use fire ores for purposes other than balloons.

 The existence of a magic stone that can store magic power may be a key item to solve this problem.

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


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


 I have decided to research if it is possible to create a system that can utilize flame ores and magic stones by connecting them together.

We talked about this a while ago. You told me a while ago that it might be interesting to make a furnace out of flame ore. I made it, that I did.

"I made one on an experimental basis and it seems to be working well, that it does, Mr. Ars. I tried to use flame ore inside in combination with fire-resistant hardened bricks, that I did. Basically, if there is a flame ore that can generate ultra-high heat by applying magic power, it is possible to raise the temperature inside the furnace higher than any of the existing furnaces, that it is.

"...... sure . If the magic stone can replenish the magic of the furnace, it will be easier for the workers to work. I'm planning to make the magic stone into a spell so that others can use it, but until then, I'll leave the magic stone I made for Gran.
