132-131 ◇ The need to distinguish me from the world







The magician's horn can store the magic power it creates in its horn. And there are two ways to use the magic power stored in the horns when creating a magical body (avatar).

You can either recreate it with every bit of magic you've accumulated, or you can transfer it.

''Yeah. The former won't lose the magic power of the main body, but the cost will be ridiculous. When I think about it breaking, I even hesitate. That's why I usually transfer the magic power. With this one, you can just move the magic power as needed, so as long as you don't transfer it all at once and it doesn't destroy everything, there's not much chance of running out of magic power.

 So that's exactly what I did against Fenix, though, and that's exactly why I was short on magic.

'Yes, I've managed to get that far.

Do you have any idea how it would be transferred?

Yeah, I don't know, just touch it.

 I nodded.

'That's right. I just touch the main body with my magical body (avatar). It's a bit strange, but there's no difference between the two, transferring your own magic power to your own horns because they're both 'me'. That's what I've been thinking all this time.

 I open the 'cocoon' and suck some magic from the main body. Yeah, I can do it with no problem.

''........You mean you don't?''

'No, I think you're right. It's just that I don't think I'm explaining things well enough.

Not enough....

Can vampires control the blood of the main body after it has become a magical body (avatar)?

"! Ya, I'll try.

 Mira becomes Carmilla. She transferred her spirit to her magical body (avatar).
 Then she opens the 'cocoon' like I did and touches the body.

''........I can't control it.

 After all.

 A demon can transfer the magic power of its horns from the main body to its magical body (avatar), but a vampire cannot bring the blood of the main body into its defense. The blood of the magical body (avatar) is because the blood of the magical body (avatar) is only magical power that replicates its function.

 Bringing real blood into it is against the rules. That's why there was no one to try it.
 Before it was acceptable, there was no point in challenging it, so no one did.
 Or even if someone knew about this, it wouldn't help.

'Maybe it's a matter of consciousness. With the main body, you can control blood, but with the magical body (avatar), you control the magic power that mimics blood. The difference is captured by the unconscious mind.

'But isn't it possible that this is the difference between pure magic and something else?

 It would be possible because demons can bring magic power as magic power, which is why it's possible.

 If that's the case, it doesn't help in absorbing magic power by horns.
 It's only that he is transferring it from his own body to his own body, that's all.

''Yes, but if that's the case, then it means I can put the magic power of the main body into the staff.

 I let the tip of the staff in my hand touch my body.

It's a good idea to make sure that the user's magic power is the only thing that can be put into the wand. If it's 'because it's my magic power' that can be transferred to the horn, then even the staff...

 And I'm sure of it.

"Mr. Leme, this is....

'Yeah, you failed. Just as I thought.

 By the way, wands do not store magical power like magic stones, but compress and purify it. It depends on the quality, but after a certain amount of time, the magic power leaks out and dissolves into the air.

 Therefore, even if this method is feasible, 【Wizards】 and others cannot bring magic power into the attack and defense.
 Not only is it not very meaningful even if they do it, but the activities of the magic organs are suppressed when they are in the cocoon, so they can't take it with them in a big way.

"So, then, the reason why a demon can absorb the magic power accumulated in the horn of the main body into the horn of the magic body (avatar) is not because it is 'its own magic power', but because of the ability to 'store magic power' installed in the horn itself? But that's not right.

 In that case, a witch's horn must be able to absorb magic power from the start.
 In other words, all demons should be creatures that can also accumulate the magic power of their surroundings from the beginning.

Right, so that's not the reason.

What?

 Mila was puzzled by my simple admission. Her little mouth was open in a circle. That kind of expression on her face is rare, but now is not the time to admire it.

''It's my magic, so I can't transfer it. I was able to absorb it because I 'caught' it as my magic.

"? ...I'm sorry, I mean, it just makes a little sense.

 I continue, sorting it out in my head.

'For example, I know you have fruit in the living room of my dorm room. I bought it at Mr. Blitz's place.

 Mr. Blitz. Kash's former employer, her mother's friend and my friend, the fruit vendor.

'Yes, there is,'

 She pulls her chin back.

'There's no hesitation when we eat that, and there's no problem with that, is there?

'Yes, well. I'm just going to ask in case Leme-san bought it, but...

'....Right. Well then, in this case, let's limit it to me.

'Then I suppose you're right. Since it's Leme's, I don't mind when it's mentioned.

'So what if the place is a market and I'm penniless and eat the fruit vendor's goods without permission?

'Well that's a problem. It would be stealing, wouldn't it?

Yeah. The same fruit may or may not be allowed to be eaten, depending on the circumstances. The current example is the rules of the human world, so of course you have to follow them. But there shouldn't be any such rules for magic.

 Of course, no magic stone thieves. It's within the scope of the rules of the human world to apply.
 But there's no law that punishes spirits and fairies for gathering nature's magic power. Just as there is no law to punish breathing.



I think so. I think that is because the wand is an object that purifies the magic power of the 'user' - that is to say, the individual you have now, regardless of whether you have two bodies of the same person - because it is an object that purifies the magic power of the 'user'. It's difficult to classify a body that has no consciousness into the category of 'user'. That's why the horns are easy. From my horn to my horn. I can 'capture' it as my magic power without any problem.

'If that's the case... the processing that allows for consciousness and manipulation in the generation of magic power, as it's often called... could it be...

'I think it's about the perception that it's yours because you created it,'

 This is no surprise, as few people have mastered it.
 No one breathes air while thinking it's theirs. And moreover, who would think of manipulating it?

 On the contrary, it's no wonder that spirits and fairies can do it.
 Spirits and fairies both 'arise' from the world.
 Some say that the fairies are the ones who tried to get a clear form, and that they were originally the same thing.

 For them, there is no difference between the world and themselves.
 They were born into the world, they are in the world, and they are the world.

 It would be impossible for us humans to have the same values as them. It's a difference in consciousness as a living being.
 So I thought to myself.

The food we eat forms our bodies. I couldn't do that because I was thinking about absorbing magic or something. This is mine, this is what I can eat, this is what I can feed on. All I had to do was think about it and just do it.

Well, I see...?

Thank you, Mira. I think I've sorted it out as we speak. Um, I'll head to the core then...!

Eh, ah, yes. Have a good day...?

 I hurry to the room with the core.

 Approaching the core, I follow the tube through which the magic flows and twist the valve. Magic power gushes out.
 Expose the corners and concentrate.
 This is mine, mine..............................

 ..........
 .....
 .......



 That's true.

 It's true that one awareness can lead to rapid growth.
 But it doesn't matter what field you're in, there's a huge amount of effort behind those moments.

 A lot of hard work, a lot of trial and error, not working out, but still working hard.
 At some point, you realize. I let it go and adjusted the direction of my efforts, and I was able to break through the wall. It worked.

 You don't learn a skill by inspiration alone.
 But I got the spark. Then you can use this as an excuse to redirect your efforts and continue your training.

 Tighten the valve.
 Concentration.

 Release your own magic from underneath your feet. Your own magic.
 Then, I release my magic in a horizontal direction.
 Like a whirlwind, my magic goes round and round slowly around me.

 The magic power dissipates quickly if it is released, so I wanted to adjust the way it is released to make it drift around me as much as possible.
 It's hard to think of the core's magic power as suddenly belonging to you.

 First of all, the magic power that was under his control a moment ago must be brought back under his control.
 Isn't it? It's like picking up a dropped possession and putting it back in your pocket.

 I haven't lost it. This is my property.
