A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Three chairs were available across the desk.

There's a mouse-like projection on my desk for my PC.

"Please have a seat.

Takeo and Alice sit in the chair of those lined with two legs.

"Magic is divided into two main parts.

It's spiritual magic and magic.

Spirit magic is magic activated by the help of those called spirits.

It can be a spell or a name. The key for activation is different.

That doesn't mean I should cast a spell that other people have used.

It's a word of contract between an individual and nature, so it doesn't necessarily have the same effect in the same language.

"... how do you know the Spirit Magic Key?

"It's a coincidence. A large quantity of the wording of that hand from the past is stored in the Wang capital.

Wouldn't one or so hit me?

I thought Takeo was close to not being able to use it with this.

"One magic is a technology that uses its own magic power directly to sublimate it to a magical form,

The system of specialty varies from one person to another. Fire, water, soil, ice, thunder... if I mention it, there's no cutting.

It is important to know the magic that was in your own lineage because remembering that you are different from a good lineage can be weak.

"I see."

"We will now examine the suitability and pedigree of Master Kitamizato for magic.

Put your hands on the protrusion on your desk.

Takeo puts his hands down as he is told.

Then the palm of my hand becomes slightly muzzled.

The clerk looks at the water in the barrel somehow.

Suddenly, the clerk looks up at Takeo.

"... one end, let go of my hand.

Get your hands off me like I was told.

The clerk will also look at the bucket.

"Again, put your hands down.

Put your hands down as I was told.

The clerk looks at the barrel, looks at Takeo, looks at Alice.

"Excuse me, Miss Alice, could you do that, too?

"Yeah, that's fine.

Alice puts her hand on the protrusion instead of Takeo.

The clerk looks at the bucket and nods.

"Again, if you'll excuse me, Master Kitamizato, put your hands down.

He replaces Alice again and Takeo puts his hand on the protrusion.

"... yes. There is aptitude for magic when it comes to results.

And there is no pedigree that Kitamizato is good at.

"" What?

Takeo and Alice are surprised at the same time.

"Oh, no. Did I say it the wrong way?

All lineages are averaged.

"Huh."

and Takeo replies raw.

"It's rare if you don't have a good pedigree.

"In other words?"

"In other words, Master Kitamizato can use all his magic without diffusion.

"Really?

Takeo didn't know what to do.

Is this a matter of joy or sadness?

I just got enough thoughts to say if that's what it is.

------------------------

"Next, we measure the amount of magic.

The clerk took out an object with a little water in the round flask and said.

"Master Kitamizato, put your hands together.

Put your hands together as you were told.

Nothing in particular happening?

"... erm. Miss Alice, if you'll excuse me.

"Yeah."

and more water to look at as Alice squeezes her hand, and it's going to overflow.

Alice stops holding hands in front of the overflowing.

The clerk nods when he sees it.

"Bye."

"Yes."

and Takeo shakes again.

Thanks to Alice, there was water level to the thin part of the flask.

Its water level slowly begins to rise.

Takeo thought you had darkened the atmosphere.

"... erm... shall we make glasses?

"Let's do that! Dear Takeo."

... sympathetic... I'm going to cry.

But Takeo wanted to try something magical.

"Excuse me, but what is the easiest and most dangerous magic?

"Huh?... right. It's the magic that makes the light called 'lux'.

"Can I use it too?

"You can.

and the clerk gives me a small wooden stick.

"Grab this and say 'lux'.

Takeo tried to say "lux" while swinging lightly.

Then the tip of the stick glows bright.

"Ooh.

Everyone who wants to use 'magic' actually does what they once dreamed of as a child right now.

Takeo was impressed, even if it was simple magic.

When I was impressed, time came or disappeared.

Takeo wants to see more.

"Lux. Lux. Lux. Lux.

And I say it four times.

Alice panics with the clerk who was watching it.

"Dear Takeo!!

"Hey! Customer!! That way you will fall!!

"Huh?"

hour already late. It's starting to activate.

The tip of the stick glows considerably brighter than earlier.

Takeo blocked his sight with light.

Has time come or disappears, Takeo's vision reverts back to normal.

"Uh... customer. Why?"

The clerk is surprised.

Alice is a surprise at last.

"Er...??

Takeo didn't know what was going on.
