As an evacuation while Lilia-san was talking (physically) with Lunamaria-san, we walked around the mansion as a combination of just the three hometown residents, not surprisingly.
　Come to think of it, I hadn't talked to Kusunoki-san or Yuzuki-san for a while. I talked to Kusunoki-san for a little while last night, but the conversation didn't go very well. I guess I should apologize for that in the first place.

Uh, Ms. Kusunoki. I'm sorry about yesterday--"I'm sorry"--huh?

　I was going to apologize for the way I phrased it that made her unintentionally uneasy, but for some reason, she apologized first.

''It was Miyama-san who was the one who had the hard time, but last night I asked you a strange question...''
'Oh, no, I'm rather sorry on my end. It's a strange way to respond, and I might look calm to Kusunoki and the others, but I was pretty confused... I couldn't explain myself very well.
No, I think that's a pretty good idea.
.........Somehow, you've left me behind. When did you talk to Aoi-senpai and Miyama-senpai?

　Somehow, I felt that the atmosphere that had become a bit stiff due to yesterday's conversation had been softened a bit by the mutual apology. And while Yuzuki-san, who doesn't know much about the situation, asks with a curious expression, I was curious about another part of the situation. Or rather, I've been curious about it since yesterday.

''We just happened to meet in the hallway last night and talked for a bit. I mean, I've been wondering.......why do you call me senpai, Yuzuki-san?
'What?　Because Miyama-senpai is an alumnus of our high school, right?
"Huh?
'What?　Yona, is that true!
'Oh, yes. Maybe.....

　I was honestly surprised by Yuzuki-san's words, which she told me as a matter of course. It is true that I am a graduate of the high school they attended, but I graduated three years ago, and I didn't expect the two current students to know that.

'Sure, I went to the same high school as you two but I graduated three years ago...'
"Well, I wasn't sure at first, but it fit the traits my brother told me about, so I thought maybe...
Brother?

　This was another strange word that popped up. I'm not proud of it, but I was a student in high school with no particular characteristics. I didn't do any club activities, my grades were up and down the average, I didn't have any big episodes, and I didn't have any friends, even though it makes me sad to say it.
　In fact, I'm still trying to remember the person who seems to be Yuzuki-san's brother, but honestly, I don't have any idea.

Yes. I heard he had a big scar from his right ear to his neck, so I wondered if that was it.
''Well that may indeed be an obvious trait, but I don't have any idea who Yuzuki-san's brother is on my end...''

　It is true that I was in an accident a long time ago, leaving a large scar from my right ear to my neck. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about, but the fact that you're listening to them enough to remember it means that Yuzuki-san's brother was talking about me quite often. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.
"...Oh, I see. The chairman of the committee....

　When I was a sophomore in high school, I was addicted to MMO's, so-called internet games, and I was living a life of reversing day and night. I played games all night long and went to bed at school. When I think back on it now, it was a very unserious situation, but it was a time of rebellion, a time when we took the world for granted, and even the teachers gave up and didn't say anything about me going to bed no matter how many times they warned me.
　It's a good thing that you're a serious person, and the class president is the only one who pays attention to that every day. When I think back on it, I do remember that the class president's last name was Yuzuki. I've forgotten all about it, since my nickname was the chairperson and we never had a rote conversation other than that.

"Miyama-san........what did you go to school for.......
'No, well, a lot of things happened at the time... Yuzuki-san, tell him I apologized when I returned a year later.
Yes, sir!

　Yuzuki-san, who probably has a serious personality, looks at me with zealous eyes and gives me an exaggerated salute with a wry smile.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to take the position of a reliable elder, but thanks to the two of us, we've been able to close the distance just a little bit.



















　After a brief stroll through the mansion, I returned to the room I mentioned earlier and was greeted by Lilia-san with a gentle smile. I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it in the same way that you can find it.
　After confirming that the three of us are seated, Lilia-san nods once and opens her mouth.

''Today, I know you're all probably wondering about........magic.
Oh....

　I can't help but feel the tension rise in these words, as if they were quintessential. That said, even after spending half a day in this mansion, I had seen technology that looked like magic here and there, and I actually used some of it. The jewels in the bathrooms that showered when touched, the lights in the hallway that floated in the air. The rag - and according to Lunamaria-san's explanation, all you have to do is touch it, but I'm sure that thing is magic too.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

''I think the first thing I'm concerned about is whether or not you all can use magic as well. When it comes to the source of magic, those in other worlds have it without exception. So I would say that there is a groundwork for using magic. But to be able to use magic........depends quite a bit on the talent, and I can't assure you that you can use it all at once.

　At the same time as Lilia-san speaks so, Lunamaria-san, who was revived before I knew it, puts the books in front of us one by one. Ah, she just glanced at me with eyes filled with resentment.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It seems that you all understand our language as well, so I'm sure it's not a problem, but please check it out just in case.

　This is also standard, but it is very important. I've been bad at English and other grades, and if I don't have a correction level that allows me to understand the language, a year might pass quickly just to learn the characters of this world.
　I've been thinking about that while I looked at the book at hand and understood that it was written as 'Introduction to Magic'. Oh, I can read it properly.

It seems to be no problem. Now, as for the actual exercise of magic........this is honestly something that is difficult in its own way and requires a certain amount of time to learn, although there is a lot of individual variation.
'Few of us can use magic to the extent that we can make a living at being a mage.

　I could immediately understand the meaning of Lilia's explanation and Lunamaria's supplementary explanation. That said, I flipped through the book as I listened to her talk, and it's true that the theory, the technique, is quite difficult to write about.

''This one sounds difficult,''
Wow, that's a lot of give.

　Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san seem to share the same opinion and are looking at the introductory book with a difficult expression on their faces. It is certainly difficult to say what to do about it today or tomorrow. It's impossible.

''Hmmm, it took me three months to be able to activate simple magic, too.
'The young lady is a rather early adopter. The average is probably a year or so.
Well that's going to be difficult.

　To be honest, I'm a little, no, quite shocked. It's not that I want to use magic to fight demons or anything like that, but I do have a feeling that I wanted to use it.

''........However, that's only in the case of 'activating magic by myself'.
""What?"
After the Treaty of Friendship, the most innovative technology that came from the magical world was the technology to store magical artifacts called 'magic tools'. There are jewels called magical crystals that can store magic and magic formulae, and by storing the magic formulae in them, anyone can use the magic just by touching them.
Could it be... that blue gem in the bathroom or something?
'Yes, that's right. It's in your world - did you say Dench, I believe?　In the same way, if magic power is stored in the magic crystal beforehand, the user can use the stored magic with only a small amount of magic power for activation. Nowadays, this is more mainstream, and the engineers who can create these magic tools are even called mages.
The only thing I'd like to add is that you need to get permission to use a highly aggressive magic tool, and using it in the city is generally prohibited. Well, to begin with, there's a purchase limit.

　Hmmm, I think it's a good idea to think of magic tools as what we call flashlights and lighters in our world. It's a good thing that you can use it in the bathroom or in your room, and you don't need any difficult theory.

It's not necessary to study magic if you don't want to become a mage, but as I said before, the speed of learning magic varies greatly from person to person, and if you can activate it yourself, it's something that you can do. It's handy, so it's a good idea to study it briefly.

　While saying that, Lilia-san floats something like a magic circle in her hand and a gentle breeze blows in the room.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it. There are 8 types of magic in total, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. By the way, my strongest attribute is wind and Luna is water.
It's kind of impressive to see it in person.

　While Yuzuki-san has an impressed expression on her face at the magic that Lilia-san demonstrated to me a bit, what comes to mind is something that looks like the magic that Kuro used. That all-purpose coat is probably magic, but what is its attribute?　The image of the demon race is the dark attribute.　My coat was black... but were the tatami mats that came out green?　I'll ask him next time.

'I'll give you that book and you can read it when you have time.

　Once we were separated there, we had an hour of theoretical explanations about magic, and then we were dismissed.



















　The second day in the other world passed without incident, and in the evening I was reading the introductory book on magic that was given to me in my room, but I can honestly say it's gibberish.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I've been told that the people who live in this world, if they want to learn magic, they go to a magic school to learn it. In fact, Lilia-san said she learned it in the knight's club and Lunamaria-san said she learned it at the magic school. That's how difficult it is to learn on your own, and it seems the presence of an expert instructor is important.
　Lilia-san said she would arrange for an instructor if you are interested, but I felt awkward about being a part of it, so I refused.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and it's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and it's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. They say it's limited to the tribe or something, and there are almost no instructors for the demon race.
　A demon tribe at that level can activate magic without chanting or even a magic circle--wait?　Do you remember seeing anything like that?　I mean, isn't that what Black is?　Then you can ask Black but you don't know when he'll show up and--

I think I'm being summoned!
What?

　At the moment I thought of it, it was dashing - a young girl demon trespassing into the room and appearing in the room. Her black coat fluttered and I could see her white legs through the gaps in her coat. The coat was so big that I couldn't see it until now, but underneath was a pair of half-pants... no, not that!　What?　Why are you showing up the moment you think of it!　I knew this guy was an esper!

It's another good night.

Well, well, never mind the details. Yes, baby sponge cake. I put jam in it today!

　Isn't that a mini jam bun, not a baby sponge cake anymore?　What's the point of making it in the shape of a baby sponge cake?
　I put the baby sponge cake in my mouth, and Kuro sat down on a chair that he took out of nowhere in a very natural motion and put the coffee in a teacup on the table.
　I'm not sure if I've gotten used to it, but I don't have the energy to interfere and drink the coffee that was given to me. Then I suddenly remembered something.

"Huh?　Come to think of it.......I thought demons don't eat anything other than what's designated for them today?
Yeah. I'm okay with it.
Yeah, you're right.

　I remembered what I heard this morning about the demon tribe's way of spending the New Year and asked, but I heard that both baby sponge cake and coffee were designated. Who is the Sixth King who designated baby sponge cake and coffee? No, maybe it's popular in the demon world, or is this combination of the two.
　Then Black notices the book I'm holding in my hand and opens his mouth while tilting his head exaggeratedly.

''Hm?　What's that book about?
Yeah, it's a primer on magic.
Wow, you get to learn magic. Oh, is that why you wanted to meet me?
'Oh, well, something like that?　I've been reading a bit, but with eight different types, I don't know which one to start with...
Eight different kinds?　There are only 'two' types of magic?
Huh?

　I was going to tell him that I'm struggling with magic that has multiple attributes and all of them have different theories, but I stiffened at the words that came back to me from Black as if it was very obvious.
　Only two types?　It's supposed to be seven fire, water, wind, earth, thunder, light, and dark, plus eight with no attributes...

Only two kinds?
The only two are 'non-transformational magic' that uses magic as it is and 'transformational magic' that uses it to change magic into something else like fire or water. It's just two things: 'non-transforming magic' that uses the magic as it is, and 'transforming magic' that changes the magic into something else like fire or water.
Well Black, if I could just ask you, how long does it usually take before you can activate a simple spell?
'Hmmm. It will vary depending on the qualities, but I'd say 'a day early, a month at the most'.
Huh?

　Dear Mother and Father - I have begun to learn about magic. But the demon race and the human race - they say different things.
