Magic, you know, just being able to use it is very useful. If you have even one high aptitude for magic, you will be sought after for that alone. However, I cannot say that it is good to be able to use magic, because there are things in history that have been used up because they can use magic.

　Magic is the power to make possible the impossible, which is something that those who cannot use magic can never do. Even Lelunda's wound was healed, it is impossible for a non-magician to heal such an injury in such a short period of time. If she had not been able to heal his wounds immediately, he might have died. So Lelunda really did an amazing thing."

If you could use magic properly, ......, would it help everyone?

Lelunda is a good girl. Yes, we will be very happy if you learn to use it properly. But you know what, Lelunda, you fell down the other day.　We are happy that you want to learn to use magic for us, but we don't want you to overwork yourself. But we don't want you to push yourself too hard. You have to learn, and you have to be okay with using it.

Yes.

That's a good answer. You have my word, Lelunda.

　Gaius was angry with me. And because Auntie worries about me like this. ...... I would never do anything reckless. I don't want the people I care about to feel sad.

　I will only use magic when I have learned it and know that it is safe. I don't know when that will be, but I still ...... don't want to worry people by using it just because I can.

I don't want to worry people by using magic just because I can. First of all, it is said that magic did not exist in the world when the gods created it.

Is that so?

Yes. Yes. The first race of people called the Gods were the only ones who existed when the Gods first created this world. The current race was born based on the god people. That is a strong influence of the gods. It is said that the gods of the forest, the gods of water, and the gods of beasts were involved in the formation of us beastmen. But that was a long time ago, so I am not sure if it is true or not.

　I vaguely recall a bard who came to the village where I was born and raised telling me about the origins of the world. However, I think the bard was talking about how the legitimate descendants of the gods were human beings or something like that. He didn't talk about beastmen or anything like that. I thought that ...... such an idea was the reason why they could do such terrible things to the beastmen.

The world today has many different kinds of creatures, but they all originated from the first gods, and then there were those who were called gods and beasts. It is said that from these beings came the races and demons that exist today. It is said that magic was created in the process of the birth of these creatures. However, this was written in a book I read when I was young, so I am sure there are many other theories. It is said that the physical superiority of us beastmen over magic is due to the influence of a god called the beast god. The reason why the elves are so good at magic is because of the influence of a god who influenced the elves, that's what it said in the literature.

What about ...... people?

I think humans are a bit special. The last to be born in the literature is the human being, although there is a widespread belief among humans that humans are the rightful heirs of the gods and goddesses. Fewer of them can use magic than elves, less able-bodied than beastmen, and not as good as the best of the other races. But they have inherited the races of all the races in their own way. I believe that man is a race that has been gradually influenced by various gods," he said.

　The last to be born was the human being.

　That's what it says in the literature my grandmother reads. I thought, "That's right. The beastmen are strongly influenced by the gods who were involved when the beastmen were born, but humans are influenced by various gods little by little. I guess that means, in other words, that none of the gods have that much influence on us.

When magic was first created, there was no such thing as magic spells as we know them today. The culture of language and writing had not yet developed, so it is not surprising that this was not the case. Magic was not as efficient as it is today, and it seems that those who wanted to use it used it as they wanted to use it. Nowadays, spells for efficient use of magic have been created based on many years of research, but the magic of the old days, when it was known as the "God's Generation," was more powerful than such magic.

Spells are something that have been streamlined with the user in mind," he says. It is more difficult and dangerous to use magic without using spells than it is to cast spells and use magic. And given Lelunda's recent collapse, I suppose that's true."

　Spells have been studied for a long time and combined with the magic user in mind. Using magic without spells is difficult and dangerous.

　I take note of that as I listen to my grandmother. Gaius, too, listens intently. The child griffons also do their best to listen silently after realizing that they shouldn't be bothered.

It is said that it was a magic king called Itosta Keithu who established the spells. It is said that he was a human being, but possessed enormous magical power and mastered all kinds of magic. And yet, it seems he was also good friends with spirits. It is said that Itoosta Keesu was a great being who continued his research on magic and defined the concept of spells.

　The creator of spells. Itosta Keesu. Yeah, it's hard to remember if you've only heard it once.

　I wondered as I listened to my grandmother's story.

I thought to myself, "Well, let's call it a day for now. I'll teach you about spells next time.

　I noticed that a good amount of time had passed. After Auntie said that was all for today, Gaius and I thanked her for her help. She laughed when she heard us.
