I asked Wendy and White to make up to me for cleaning up the mess that a man living alone would find most troublesome, and I decided to hunker down in the alchemy room by myself.
As usual, I finished making five vibrators and stored them in the magical space.
Then.

Your spatial magic skill level is now 3.

Oh.
I'm finally on level 3, huh?
Hopefully it's some sort of transference magic.

Spatial Magic Lv3: Invisible Jail
　　　　Cubically solidifies the specified space. Size can be adjusted.
　　　　If not specified, the space is solidified to surround itself]

Hmmm...?
Coagulation of space?
And Invisible Jail is a very strange name.
Let's try activating it for now.

.........
Hmm?
What have you changed?

'Lord!　I'm done washing up!

The door opens with a bang and White jumps in towards me.

''Huh........''
'Hey White. So I told you to knock... what are you doing?
Hey, White. You okay?

I thought he was going to jump on me as usual, but about a meter in front of me, White bumped into something and stopped.

'Ouch......... I hit it.
Oh, sorry.

So that's what you mean by an invisible prison.
It's like building a wall by hardening the space.
If it's not specified, it's going to be around me, and if it is, it's going to be around the center.
If it's not designated as a jail, I'm the one going in....

"Hmmm. I can't reach the Lord. Why not?
White....you're floating...?

White climbs up the invisible wall and floats about six inches above me.
Seriously. It's a foothold.
More convenient than it sounds.

Bad. I've been testing it out because I learned a new skill. I'm deactivating it.
New skills?
Yeah. That's because spatial magic is now level 3.

I release it as I say this and White falls into my arms.
I picked her up in a princess hug and slowly lowered her down, and she climbed onto my lap again.
Now, since we're here, let's try some things.

'Wendy, stay where you are for a moment.
'What?　Yes.

I activate the Invisible Jail, including White.

''Good. It looks like we'll be okay with White there.''
Hmm?　I'm feeling a little nervous.
Well, is it being activated?
Yeah. It's already activated.

Okay. It doesn't matter if it's not me inside, next time....

Wendy, go this way and White, go to where Wendy is.
Hmm?　Okay.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

White goes to where Wendy was originally, and Wendy approaches us fearfully with her hands out in front of her.

'Oh, there's really something going on here,'
Lord, I made it. But I can't go back.

You can get out of it from the inside.

White. Let's go.
Mmm.

I throw an empty magic stone that was nearby at White.
Then it slips through and White catches it.

''Ooh. So you're free to go from the inside to the outside.

You can get out from the inside to the outside, no matter if it's an object or a living thing, and you can't get in from the outside, which is a prison.......

'And then there's the durability. If it was infinite, it would be too much of a cheat........ White. Try attacking the invisible wall.
"Love.

White took out a large knife from his waist and slashed at the invisible prison (Invisible Jail).
Then, I felt the durability of the wall decreased in a physical sense.

''White. Again.''
"Hm.

I knew it.
I can't see it as a number, but I can see that two more blows and the wall will break down.

Two more, please.
Okay.

White could tell that the wall had broken without a sound as he unleashed two consecutive blows.

'Broken?'
Yeah.
All right, then!

I immediately tried activating it again.
I wanted to know if there was a time lag before I could reactivate it, but I was able to activate it.
Naturally, White, who dived in, hit a new wall.

''Lord, that's terrible...''
'Yeah, sorry about that. I could use it in case of an emergency, and I thought I'd try what I could while I still could...

I'll release it and pick you up and pet you right away and put you in a good mood.

''Master. I don't know anything about spatial magic, but can it be prevented?
'Yeah, well, let's try that too.'
Now, if you'll excuse me.

I also activate Invisible Jail (Invisible Jail) and wait for Wendy's magic with White.

"I'm going to go. "Water Bullet (Aqua Shot)

Multiple water bullets are formed around Wendy, and they are headed for me and White, but they are prevented by the invisible prison (Invisible Jail).
It seems that magic can also protect you from physical attacks as well as physical attacks, but its durability is decreasing.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. Is it like a defensive magic with a limit on the number of times it can be used?
Huh..... It seems so. It's a good thing the magic was prevented and the master wasn't hit.

This is nice.
It's a world where you don't know what's going to happen, and it's reassuring to have the skills to protect it in a time of need.

In addition, the capacity of the magic space has been increased.
It's a good thing that I'm not a fan of the game.
Well, this is not that I haven't used all 10 slots so far, but it's good to have more room.

'It wasn't a transition skill, though. Now we can prevent White's assault.
Hi. Don't protect me.

White flails in my lap, but I don't mind as long as he doesn't jump into my lap.
That hurts so bad.........
Even now the knife at my waist is hard and hurts soberly........

Then there's the issue of MP consumption........

The amount of MP consumed seems to vary depending on the size. And even if you take out more than one of them, there doesn't seem to be any worry about excessive MP loss.
Convenient.
Right. Oh yeah, and since we're here, let's play a game that includes experimenting with skills.
'Gumm?　What are you doing?
Step out of the room. I'll tell you when you're ready, and then you can come back in.
What should I do?
'Wendy, since you're in the mood for it, why don't you give it a shot? I'm going to race with White, and whoever gets to me first wins.
White is going to win...
'I think we're going to lose out on physical ability...'
Well, I think he'll be okay.

The two of them are asked to leave the room first and get ready for the day.
Well, to be frank, it's a maze of invisible walls.
The room is small, so we have to form a thin, thin, invisible prison, but that's it.
Creating a thin, thin, invisible prison is much more MP efficient.
I predicted that the amount of MP consumed would probably be determined by the size of the interior space.
In this case, it would be possible to reduce MP consumption by making the interior space look like a single thin wall.
If it's an attack from multiple directions, it's just a matter of surrounding it with normal.
It's not a good idea. This skill might be useful.
In the meantime, I'll make dead ends and branches, and the maze will be completed.

You're both good! Whoever gets to me first wins.
'Too!　Bugger.
'No, White, I said it was an experiment in skills, so there's no way I can come straight...'
The wall is ... open. I don't know where it is...
No destroying it, of course. Otherwise, anything else is possible.
'Mm. Lord be nasty.
No, what's the point of the game if you break it?

And since I've made it, I want them to do their best to clear it.
But the two of them are advancing fearfully, and from my point of view, where I know the correct route, Wendy has a slight advantage.
It looks like she'll be able to get to me without getting too lost.



After all, it was Wendy who arrived first at the same rate.

''Mm........''
White came and went in the same place.
If you could trace the scent, you could...
Uh-huh. Then I'll take my master's lap as the winner!
Heh. Hey.

Zugaga Gaga Gaga!

That's unacceptable.

Mr. White?　Didn't they come down the wall here at a terrific pace?
I wonder if this skill is okay.
I wonder if it can be used properly as a defensive skill!
And don't forget to put your knife away for good measure.
