"It was an interesting experiment, Mr. Alphonse. I think that a simple but efficient method of conducting experiments on animals of species with short reproductive periods can be used for verification.

"Really?　It took me a long time to get Elle and her friends to breed with dogs and wolves. I've been thinking that it would be better if we could check them more quickly. But it's nice to have Ai's praise for something like this."

"The white dogs were only in heat for a few days a year. Rats were lucky in this respect, because they were fertile beyond compare. However, I think it is too early to apply this to humans.

"Right. Even Elle and her friends, who are similar to dogs and wolves, have quite different ecology. Mice and humans might be different. Well, we'll have to confirm that slowly in the future.

　An experiment on the magical power of children.

　Apparently, it was highly rated by Ai.

　I am glad.

　Until now, I have only asked Ai to teach me, and then I have asked her to do some work for me.

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

　It has been bothering me for a long time.

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

　I've always been concerned that Ai has done so much for me, and I've done so little for her.

　But I think I could return the favor for one thing.

　It seems that Ai had some knowledge of animal experiments, but not of breeding with easily reproducible animals.

　I was pleased to hear that she had obtained information on a new method of verification.

　However, I am not sure if the results of the experiments on rats are applicable to human beings as Ai said.

　Some of them may show the same tendency, while others may be completely different.

　In the end, as far as human subjects are concerned, the only way to confirm the results is to use human subjects.

　Nevertheless, I think that the information obtained in this study is valuable.

"What we have learned as a result of the animal experiments. It seems that the rate of growth of magical power changes depending on the age of the individual. Probably, the amount of magic power is the highest when the fetus is in the mother's body. But even after the birth, the growth rate is related to the age. I think that the amount of magic power increases easily until adulthood, so to speak."

"Yes. I think there is a tendency. Even if the amount of magic is the same at birth, the amount of magic in the food we eat changes the amount of magic we have when we reach adulthood, but after adulthood the amount of magic changes but less than before adulthood.

"Yes. Well, what? In the end, I guess the way the Warriors of Atmos brought up their children was right in a sense. In the sense that they train them intensively from childhood.

　The amount of magic power changes depending on the environment, even in the same individual.

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

　However, it was found that the change depends on the age.

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

　The most likely to change is in the fetal period.

　The amount of magic power taken in from the mother's body makes a big difference at the time of birth.

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

　The amount of magic power is only approximate because I judge it with my eyes, but this is the only time when there was a clear difference.

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

　But it makes a difference later on, depending on how the child grows up to adulthood.

　Naturally, the amount of magic power will increase if you eat foods with a lot of magic power.

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

　However, I think that the magic power obtained from food has a low retention rate.

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

　It is because the magic power contained in the food we eat does not become our own magic power as it is.

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

　I think that a part of the magic power of what we eat is taken into our body, and a further part of it has an effect to increase the total amount of magic power of the individual.

　Itadakimasu" can efficiently take in magic power from food, but how much of that taken in becomes one's total amount of magic power does not change much, does it?

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

　However, I wonder if the retention rate is better when the fetus is inside the mother's body.

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

　The amount of magical power absorbed from the mother may have the same effect of enlarging the size of one's own vessel, and the total amount of magical power tends to be larger.

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

　That is why the fetal period, which is less than a year, is the most important.

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

　I noticed this and conducted more detailed experiments.

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

　As a result, I found that the younger the age of the fetus is, the easier it is to increase the total amount of magical power.

　Rats reproduce more frequently and grow faster than humans.

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

　Therefore, it is difficult to know when they are adults and when they are children, but it is still suggested that the rate of magic fixation is better immediately after birth.

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

　In other words, if humans and rats show the same tendency, the fetal period is the easiest to increase the total magical power, followed by the baby period, then the infant period, then the juvenile period, and so on, the fixation rate gradually decreases with the growth.

　It does not mean that one day the growth of magic power suddenly stops when one becomes an adult, but rather that it gradually decreases.

"Am I still a child, Ai?

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

The definition of "child" varies from country to country, region to region, and culture to culture. However, I think that the age of 12 is generally considered to be a child.

"So, is there still a retention rate? But the duration of childhood is important. ......

"Is something the matter, Mr. Alphonse?"

"No, I was thinking of making a magic for children that even babies can use. You know, the "Itadakimasu" ("Itadakimasu" means itadakimasu), which is hard for children to say, right?

"Magic for infants, huh? That's a magic that has never been recorded before.

"Well, the Church of the Holy Light doesn't confer magic until the baptismal ceremony at the age of six. Okay, let's go listen to Ian and Hannah's child cry. Let's go listen to Ian and Hannah's child's cries and make magic out of them.

　A fetus in the mother's body cannot cast spells.

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

　However, from the moment of birth, it should be able to speak.

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

　So, I decided to make a spell for children in order to increase the number of people with high magic power.
