Goooooooo...!

　A cry of anguish, even if unintentional, escaped, and the body fell into a slightly dumb posture as it fell to the ground. Rotia, who was far away from the crystal, had little damage and was only slightly dazzled.

　Wraith, who had been directly damaged at close range, struggled just like the time of the magic tool experiment at some time ago. It was a complete accident.

''Are you okay...?''

　Even at a time like this, Rotia, who didn't lose her expressionless face, spoke in a voice without inflection. Although the wraiths were breathing heavily, they held out one hand and managed to convey that they were safe.

　This time, the damage is still better than the last time of the magic tool experiment. After a few minutes, the pain in my eyes started to go down. Still, I rubbed the eye drops on it just in case and breathed a sigh of relief.

''It was a terrible experience...''

　Wraith looked at the tabletop with his resurrected vision. There was an unseen crystal with a crack running down the center and broken in half. This would never be useful again.

　Although it is not a product that is used that often, it is still a pity that it was broken so soon after purchasing it.

''How did it break?''

　Wraith thought back to Crystal's sudden change and tilted her head.

'Maybe it's because it's gone beyond acceptable limits...'
Acceptable?

　It was broken because it was far beyond the acceptable range - that is, far beyond the amount of power the crystal could measure. It can be rephrased as the crystal could not withstand the Wraith's power.

　This can't be helped.

''Normally, that's impossible... or rather, I've never seen it break...''

　In the first place, it's natural since it can't fulfill its role as a measuring device if it's broken one by one.

　Rotia looks at Wraith intently as if to blame him. If he was smug, he was given a result that far exceeded that in front of him. As for Wraith, though, it's not good to be looked at like that. Besides, since the 'normal' for the Wraith is the result just now, there is no way to change it now.

''Uh........I'm sorry?''

　Even so, for some reason, I couldn't help but feel annoyed, and the words of apology naturally came out.

　However, I wonder if Rotia had also guessed Wraith's ability to some extent when she heard that she could make an elixir, so she wasn't that surprised.

　She immediately returned to her emotionless eyes.

''More importantly, I want to see you make a magic tool, I want to see.......''

　Rotia pointed to the tools still lined up on the table.

'Shouldn't they be potions?'
I make potions, but the main thing is the magic tools...
I see.

　Just as Wraith already teaches alchemy and Daisy sells mainly potions, alchemists have their own areas of expertise. That's why Rotia's case is called magic tools.

　By the way, Wraith doesn't have any particular main field of expertise. If I had to choose, I'd say it's an all-purpose type.

I'm not going to be able to make it,

　There are various types of magic tools. There are a wide variety of applications, such as those that have a buffing effect that can be used up, like "magic enhancement", and those that have a permanent magic effect.

　There are various ways to make them.

　It is actually rare to create a combination of alchemy and magic circle like the Wraiths. The reason is that a magic circle is a very complicated thing, and if it is even slightly misshapen, it will naturally end up being a dud.

　In addition, there are not many types of magic circles found in the world. The only ones that can be stabilized among them are those that are small phenomena, such as starting a little fire at best.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you.

　It's not just the "magic strengthening" ring, it's the fact that the use of magicians for all kinds of magic tools is extremely rare.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use magic as a tool. This is a relatively painless method compared to the magic circle, in which the phenomenon caused by magic is 'imparted' by alchemy.

　However, Wraith has no aptitude for magic, so he has no choice but to use the magic circle. I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who's had to develop a magician's circle from scratch.

　Nevertheless, the more time and effort it takes to create a magic circle, the more advantages it has. For example, the 'Magic Enhancement' ring that Wraith developed. This ring is made by combining the effects of the ore with the magic circle using alchemy, so it is impossible to make it except for the magic circle.

　Theoretically, a magic circle can be combined with materials to create any type of magic tool. Also, in many cases, its effectiveness is higher than 'granting' magic.

　........Well, it goes without saying that the difficulty is uncommonly high.

'What you make is ... free ...'
Copy that. Well, it's just an indoor environment, nothing too harmful.

　Considering the amount of money I spent on this workshop, if it were to break down, I would take a great deal of mental and financial damage. To the advice from the Wraith in case of emergency, Rotia nodded unanimously to the advice from the Wraith.

　In the first place, there aren't too many types of magic tools that Wraith makes that attack the surroundings. This area is a complete creator's preference, and Wraiths often make things that serve a supplementary role.

It's not just the "shock resistance" or "magic enhancement".

　Then there are daily necessities made, such as dryers using slime materials that are excellent at absorbing moisture, and pots that can adjust the temperature depending on the amount of magic power. These have been very useful in household chores since the time he and Rulimes lived together.

　As for the daily necessities, though, there's a background that since one person can do all the household chores, it was essential to improve efficiency.

''Freedom........yeah.

　I crossed my arms and often pondered what magic tool to make. It would be good to have something that could be a store item anyway.

It's summer, so why don't I make a magic tool to counteract the heat?

　The direction is decided.

　Wraith prepares a large piece of paper and a cold stone, plus a pen and a suitable necklace. He places the cold stone on the paper and holds his hand over it.

''Shatter.''

　Through alchemy, the cold stone is quickly transformed into white powder. Wraith holds the paper and pours the created powder into the hole at the top of the pen.

''Is that...?''

　Rotia, who had been watching the work, reacted involuntarily to something unfamiliar.

''Hmm, you mean this pen?''
'Yeah...'

　It's an ordinary pen, all black with a little hole in the top, which can be found everywhere at first glance.

It's a pen that can 'grant' the effect of the material you put in the hole. When making a magic tool, you need to trace the material to the shape of a magic circle, but this pen eliminates that process.

　It's a lot of work to make the shape of a magic circle using materials every time. Therefore, I used an easy to draw pen to make the shape more efficient.

'Good.'

　Wraith slurred and drew a blue magic circle on the paper and placed the necklace on top of it. Then the magic circle glowed thinly and lost its color.

'Ho, done.'
Is this the only...?
What, you imagined some more fancy work?

　Looking at it from the side, it's definitely a humble task at first. However, what you are doing cannot be imitated by those alchemists. Even Rulimes would be impossible to imitate.

　It is not an exaggeration to say that Wraiths are the best in the world in the field of developing a magic circle.

The next step is for Rotia to create it. You'll get the materials.
So ... the ring.
Is that all you need?
'Yeah...'

　Wraith hands the ring to Rotia as he was told. Then, at that moment, "Ah! The cry of "I'm sorry," was heard. There is only one person in this place to make such a voice.

　The Wraith turned towards the voice with a terribly troublesome expression. There was a figure standing there with a sleep-deprived looking Lurimes pointing towards the Wraiths.

''Don't tell me, Rey-kun, to that point...!
'What kind of mistake is that? Do I look like I'm in that mood?　I'm going to keep doing this until the end of the year.

　He returned it calmly, and Lurimes lightly rubbed his eyes and blinked with a crackle. When she broke out of her dream mood, she sniffed with a mocking expression.

''Well, come to think of it, Rei-kun certainly doesn't have the guts to do that...''
Hmm?　Oh, is it possible that he's embarrassing me?
So, what are you doing?
Ignore it?

　Wraith sighs as he's brilliantly decided to go through with it. Thinking in a throwaway manner that it's fine, he turns his gaze to Rotia.

'I was just about to have Rotia's alchemy shown to me.
Hi, my name's Rotia. I'm Rulimes, and that's nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you...
Also, Rotia will be living upstairs here from today.

　Wraith says that much smoothly, and then decides that the rest of Lurimes' reaction is unnecessary and keeps it out of sight as much as possible.

　From the side, she says, "How did that happen?! I can hear a voice saying, "I'm not sure what to do," but I don't return the response. By the way, Rotia doesn't seem to be much interested in it either.

''You were interrupted, but don't worry about it, just keep going.

　Rotia nodded and fitted the ring she received from Wraith. Closing her eyes, she focused her magic power on her fingertips.

''Grant.''

　After murmuring a blur, the wind blew out softly from Rotia's fingertips. The wind gathered more and more into the ring and eventually converged.

　This is how to make a magic tool without using a magic circle. It's a way of using magic.

''I tend to make magic tools filled with offensive magic........and magic, I'm good at it too.......''

　As if to prove it, a breeze leaks out of the ring containing the magic. Since the Wraith told me that it is something that won't cause damage to the room, the power is extremely suppressed, but it's originally more destructive.

''I see........''

　As Wraith makes a pretense of thinking, Lurimes, who has been ignored for a long time, pops up.

''If you need help with magic, I'm here for you!
''No, Rotia didn't come all the way to King's Landing to learn magic, so...''
But the way you and Ray-kun make magic tools is different. Rei-kun is too special...
Well, that's true, but...

　Certainly, it's hard to say that Wraith's methods are common. With that in mind, Lurimes seems to be more qualified for the job.

　Looking at Rotia without thinking, she shook her head.

''Magicians, I want you to teach me........''
'It's a lot of work, but it's okay?　Well, I'll teach you what I can besides the magic circle, but...
I'll do my best...

　If he says so, it's not something that Wraith or Lurimes would say. Rotia, who was filled with motivation with an expressionless face, clenched her fists with a guffaw.
