I understand the situation. But why don't you just walk around like a normal person?
It's true that...

　As I'm made to sit upright in the tent, I reflect on what Nia said as being right.
　You can't enjoy anything. Otherwise, you'll end up falling into this kind of pitfall.

''It's a good thing the Deputy Chieftain isn't here, isn't it? If the other party had been the deputy chief, Fuyao-san, we would have been in trouble.
"Esto doesn't take kindly to people's weaknesses. He'll have you at his beck and call.

　Nia nodded yes to Yuri, a member of the group, who shook his long-waved hair and spoke in a calm tone.
　It seems that the deputy head of the group, Est-san, is not home. Another ponite girl, Yuni, doesn't seem to be there either. I heard that she was going to the Holy Royal Capital of Arendt《Allen》inquiring about something. In a way, this was a relief.

Of course, I'm not going to forgive you so easily either.

　Nia laughs with a bad human smile.
　That's right.

''........What do you want me to do?''
I've told you before.　"You have to teach me the magic. It's easy to learn.
Oh, I wish I could learn from you.

　Nuh-uh. So that's how it is. What about teaching magic in this world where magic isn't very well developed?
　It's recognized that it's something that's always been there, and there are even instructional books on magic being sold, so I don't think there's a need to be overly cautious about it, but.......
　Hmm, if it's a simple one, that's fine.

''........I get it. However, please don't abuse it, okay?
Is that for us?
'Uh ... don't abuse it to make the good guys sad.

　Thinking that he had said something stupid to the bandits, he took out a piece of magic stone from the 'storage'.
　I laid them out on the table in the tent where the lantern was placed.

''What's this?　It's sparkly and racy.

　After all, or maybe it's natural, it seems that there are no magic stones in this world. Well, that's probably why magic didn't develop much.
　Well, the magic light stone in this world, it can be said to be a variant of the light attribute magic stone. There may be other similar things.

'This is a piece of magic stone. You can use this to determine what kind of aptitude you have for it. Don't hate me if you don't have it. There are a lot of people without it.''

　Especially in this world, it's probably pretty low. It's not that people don't have magical powers. If you compare it to a water tap, I think the faucet is hard or has a shape that makes it difficult to grip.
　If that continues for generations, the faucet will get rusty. But even that rusty faucet can produce water properly if you turn it.
　It seems that magic in this world is something that can only be learned by a few people or a special educational institution. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
　I'm not sure why Nia is so obsessed with magic on the contrary, but it's more mysterious.
　Well, maybe it's because I showed her various useful magic.

So what are you up to?
You take the magic stone and cast the spell. If you have the aptitude, you'll get some sort of reaction.

　I'd like to show you how to do it myself as an example, but with my amount of magic, it's going to be a lot of work.
　I only taught her the spell fragments and did an aptitude test, and Nia had the attribute of fire and Yuri had the attribute of light.
　To be honest, this was surprising. I thought that if I had an aptitude for one or the other, I would be fine. At the same time, it's a secret that I thought if I didn't have an aptitude for either of them, I wouldn't have to deal with any trouble.

Do you know what the flow of magic is?
'I know that. I've been using it to control the golems. Where were you going?

　I think "rouge" is a near golem, right? I haven't seen one yet. But it acts alone? Apparently it's an autonomous Golem.
　That's why I gave it to her, because I needed to repair it, and I gave her the Orihalcon.
　Well, if you can control magic, you're in the clear. If you're a complete beginner, that's the first hurdle you have to overcome, and it can take quite a bit of time. ........and Linse and Lean said.
　It took a good amount of time for me to be able to use magic during the cherry blossom season as well.

''Well, anyway, you have to concentrate that magic power, picture it in your mind and chant the spell.

　This is easier to capture the image if you actually show it to them.

'Come light, little light, light.'

　A ball of light the size of a baseball appears in the tent from my fingertips.

'Oh, wow, that's great! It's glowing!
It's beautiful.

　After flitting around the tent here and there, he snaps his fingers and turns off the "light".

'Can I do that too?!
I can't.
What the f*ck is that?
I told you. There are certain attributes. Light' is a light-attribute magic. Nia can only use magic with the fire attribute.

　Yuri raises his hand beside the swollen Nia.

''Then I would........''
It works. Concentrate your magic, picture the ball of light and chant like I said before. You'll be more likely to succeed if you know you can do it.
"Let's see... 'Come light, little light, light.' Wow!

　A ball of light about the size of a dime appears on Yuri's held up fingertip.
　I was surprised that it appeared, and perhaps I lost my concentration, but it disappeared immediately. Well, it's a success. The beginner level is also beginner level magic, so it's not that difficult, and that's not surprising.
　It seems that even people in this world who have qualities can use magic without problems.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one.
'You've lost your focus. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to keep it activated without being aware of it. On the other hand, if you focus on it in the moment, you can use it as a distraction.

　It's a great story, but it's all Linse's take on it. Even the humble 'light' magic can become a powerful weapon depending on how you use it.

But, I was able to use my magic too! I'm glad to hear that.
'Duh!　Okay, me!　Teach me some fire magic!

　I soothe Nia, who is about to go on a rampage, and move the place to the outside of the tent. In Nia's case, it's a fire-attribute magic, so we can't do it inside the tent.
　However, even the courtyard of the fort is not really a suitable place to practice, since it's surrounded by forest.
　Since the fort was abandoned to begin with, the ivy-riddled crumbling walls are everywhere. I chose one of them as a practice area.

"Flame on, red flying debris, ignisfire.

　When I chanted the spell, a fireball the size of a pebble was released from my fingertips. It hit the crumbling city wall and part of it was engulfed in flames. The power was considerably suppressed, so there was not enough heat to melt the stone. The flames disappear, leaving a few scorch marks, burning the moss and other things that grew on the surface of the wall.

''Oooh!　There's a fire!
'It's not a great killing power, but it's still quite useful magic. It's basic fire magic.

　I explain to a surprised Nia. Then she did the same to the stone wall and began to chant the same spell I taught her.

'Come, flame, red flying debris, Ignis Fire!

　In response to Nia's spell, a small flying rubble appeared and flew to the castle wall just like I did. The wall was shaved off a bit when the flaming rubble 《Mushite》 hit beautifully. Oh?　That's some power.

We got it!　Hahaha!　Awesome!

　Nia continues to shoot a number of flame conglomerates in succession while rejoicing. Heh, it looks like you have quite a bit of magic power too. ..............Wait a minute. After the second shot, he's firing without a chant!　
　No, no, no, no, no, it's certainly possible if you leave the magic in your body connected to the magic, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
　 It's only because they're so used to it.....

''Winter night!　What else do you have?!
What else?

　There's nothing there, but the fire attribute is mostly an attack spell. It's fine if it's just "Ignis Fire", but anything more than that and you could burn the forest to the ground.

"Come Flame, Firewall, Firewall.
'Whoa!　A wall of fire!

　He tries to use a defensive magic, which is rare in the fire attribute. However, this is an intermediate level fire magic, so it's not a good idea for Nia who is just learning magic.

'Come, flame, firewall, firewall!

　You can't use it!
　Nia imitates me and activates the "firewall" very easily. Oh, come on, what's that?　You have too much talent........
　Maybe this is how Linse felt when I first learned magic. In my case, it's thanks to the gods, or maybe it's just a bogus ability, that's all. Or is it that all people from the [this] side of the underworld are like this?
　I tried to teach Yuri the light attribute intermediate magic to try it, but he couldn't activate it. It's a good feeling, so I think I'll be able to handle it with practice, but not as well as Nia.
　........Maybe I shouldn't teach her too powerful magic today. I'm not sure what they're going to do if they use Mega Explosion too easily.
　Let's talk to Est-san, the deputy leader, about that.



The only thing I can think of is the fact that it's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing here.

　I was taking a break when Yuri spoke to me. Huh? Now?

'I was going to get a little golem, but I didn't have any money. I sold it to Orihalcon and you guys the other day, didn't I?　That's why I came here to get that money.
'Ahhhhhh!　Look at that!　I forgot!

　Hey.
　You didn't mean to step on it, but don't forget.

I forgot, but I got it all ready for you. Yuri, I need you to go to the vault and get me the money for Winter's Night.
Yes?

　Yuri runs into the fort. You prepared the money, put it in the safe and forgot about it. Well, I'm sorry that I didn't come right away to get it, too.
　When Yuri comes back, he hands me a small bag in his hand. It felt crisp and heavy.

I'm sure there are 150 gold coins in the bag. Don't tell me it's not enough.　I'm still the one who colored this.

　I know the monetary value is different from the surface world, but if the value is the same as that of the other side, then it's about 1.5 billion yen.
　I mean, how could a bandit gang have such a large amount of money..... It's probably because they are a bandit gang that they have it.

''With this much, can we buy a golem?
There's nothing to worry about when it comes to the Factory's products. I don't know about the ancient aircraft "Legacy" though. They range from the best to the worst.
To begin with, it's not every day that an ancient aircraft, the Legacy, is put on the market.

　Is that so? I would have preferred the ancient aircraft Legacy anyway, but I don't mind if it's made at the factory. I'm sure Dr. Dre is going to power up and modify it anyway.

But it's not impossible to get a copy of the ancient aircraft "Legacy". That's a good place to be.
Oh, yes. That's right, there it is.
?

　As I watched them nodding at each other with a questioning look on their faces, Yuri explained to me.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for," he said, "but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"There's such a place? If I go there, can I also buy a golem of the ancient plane Legacy?
Maybe. I can give you a tour if you want. It's a pretty dangerous place, but it's a winter's nightmare.

　What the hell, things are so disturbing. When I asked where on earth was it, Nia opened her mouth with a wry smile.

It's the black market.
