Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

330 The hope of the Spirit

"Pretty good catch"

Sheila, who was out to the lake with one hand on the fishing rod, came back. The catch seemed to be good, with quite a few fish in the barrel. Sheila is either heartless or proud. Mushrooms have plenty of fish and a good diet.

"Well, I guess we'll have mushrooms and fish for dinner."

"What about steaming together?"

and so on and everyone starts talking about today's dedication. It looks relaxed.

... Well. You don't have much information as it is now. Even if we were to talk to Grace in detail about our earlier interaction with Auria, it would be better if we went a little further into the investigation.

You mean the aristocracy that might have something to do with Grace, and the vampires' escape. If we don't know what's going on around it, we can't provide for future responses because it will be halfway information. Let's switch our thoughts.

"His Royal Highness Stephania and His Highness Adriana are going over to the Sirius today?

"Accommodation is. It's good to have dinner with everyone."

"Okay."

We still have time for dinner. I would be able to relax for a while because of the coarse end of what I thought should be done in Earl Gartner territory, but I just want to make sure the rest of the day is longer and the magical inquiry isn't dull.

There were a few things I wanted to experiment with based on my mother's notes, so I decided to go out in front of the house and practice magic.

"I'm practicing some magic outside."

"Okay."

"Hmm. When it comes to the Lord's magic practice, I get interested."

Grace nods, says Old Siegmund. Rosemary, Charlotte, Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana are also likely to be interested in looking at this one.

"Feel free to visit. I'm studying my mother's magic. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to continue doing that here."

I answer that with a bitter smile.

"That's more and more interesting."

and old Siegmund nods. We all ended up in the shape of coming out... well let's just say okay.

Go a little further away from home and set up a uroboros.

It's magic I was in the middle of my mother's research to practice. It is a technique whose ultimate goal is to neutralize the magic found in the natural environment and take it into itself. The story of the root of the procedure, which I talked to the Siegmund elders about before, is also helpful, but the assembly of the procedure was repeated little by little by collecting parts that seemed to be available from various procedures.

"So..."

Grip the uroboros, increase your magic and release it out of your body. Let Uroboros wrap you around it. The released magic takes on a snake-like shape and spirals around the surface of Uroboros and my body surface as it emits a blue and white glow.

By releasing magic outside your body and putting it under control, you deal with magic that you just can't build up in your body... is a hand you've always used in battling demons.

The rationale is to look at this magical side of my body around me pseudo-visibly to the magic in the human body, and gather the magic around me here to assimilate it, so that I can skip the neutralizing part and deal with the great magic.

A spiral of magic gathers at the tip of the Uroboros and winds the vortex. There are parts of this area that refer to the procedure when the outer shell of the Sirius was assembled.

"What about that magic? I've never seen anything like it."

"It's the magic my mother was researching. Taking magic from the surroundings and neutralizing it… it seemed like a technique to overcome my own physique, but I was wondering if I could use more magic in battle if I applied it"

"... well. Patricia sure did."

"The glow of magic... is beautiful"

Answering Old Siegmund, he lets me have enough respite to run out of control to turn the vortex up while engaging the surrounding magic a little bit. Gather trace amounts of magic from the surroundings and swallow them with a vortex. A small grain of light is consumed by a vortex, which eventually becomes a glowing magic sphere. If he exercised his technique from that magic that he had worked out in vitro, the wind rolled up the fallen leaves.

Hmm. Can this also be practical? Now scatter the unused magic around you so that you can reverse the surgical ceremony.

"Mm...?

And it was Tefra who leaked his voice there. Serafina and Alpha are also looking around to see if they felt anything. At the end of that gaze, it was directed at her mother's house.

Something came out of a giant tree - something like a bamboo. That's the magic scattering around you... collecting?

Signs of magic you feel at the same time. Is this... a spirit? It doesn't seem to have materialized yet.

"Hmm? Apparently, you don't have to worry. I wonder if Theodore was inspired by that because he collected magic from his surroundings? There will be parts of me that have affected my presence here..."

"... I see"

Has the presence of Tefra revitalized the Spirit, as the beads influenced the Serafina?

In battle, there will be no magic left to collect and it will be used up as a technique, but this time there was no opponent to turn to. If you let the magic scatter all around you flow through you, you take it in and increase the signs of the Spirit.

I guess he is the one who originally gained power by accumulating this area of magic. So maybe it's something that has a high affinity for the magic collected and is easy to take in as a spirit.

From the Spirit, it's like quality nutrition was suddenly created nearby.

The Spirit builds up magic so that the roots suck up nutrients... the unclear shapes are gradually closer to the human form.

The wrapped light of the Spirit grows stronger and the silhouette of shining light slowly descends to the ground. The look of a girl with green hair. The sweet smell is that of figs.

Around the end of the hands and feet being like branches and roots, it is obvious that they are different from humans. Where it is fully materialized, this time something like clothing wraps around its body.

I don't know... a hat and a robe like a witch wearing. Would it be the effect of the mother's house being said to be a witch's house or something? The fig ornament sticks to the witch hat.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure we'll get this far. Wooden Spirit - a dry ad? Sure, Tefra suggested it existed, but I didn't know it would pull the trigger for manifestation.

Dry ads open their eyes thinly and they smile at me.

"It was delicious, Theodore."

"Well... that's more than anything"

Do you even know my name when you know people's words from the beginning?

I know I can speak Mandarin if I am a Tefra with some long activity as a Spirit or a Serafina closely related to people from the beginning as a house fairy...... I just manifested it. Is this because it nukes my mother's house?

The wrapped costume will be due to the image the surrounding residents had, and I feel like it's a mixture of various elements.

"I didn't know the magic experiment was supposed to be able to stand up to the manifestation of the Spirit. I saw something quite precious."

And Rosemary laughed with pleasure.

There will be a discussion of what to do with the Spirit as we prepare dinner. Because plans to leave for the Marquis Broderick territory have been withheld, I am also somewhat worried that I will leave the Spirit that has just manifested itself.

The winner, the dry adds, is by the sunny window, with the serafina on his lap and in the sun with the harvester in a delightful condition. Hi. I hear you liked Serafina and Harvesta.

"Hmm. It seems like you're a spirit with medium power for what you've just manifested, and it won't be rare... but if you're worried, why don't you do it the same way I do?

"I wonder what it's like to prepare something for Term Wills that has an edge on the Spirit and make a deal with me."

"Uhm."

Tefra nods at Claudia's words.

"Then are the figs of this house... Or maybe some young fig tree that grows around. Though I think it would be fine if I planted that in Theodore's house. Well, if he wants to stay here, he won't have to."

As Claudia turned to the water, the dry adds responded with a smile.

"Mmm. I don't know... I'd rather be with everyone than alone. It's been a while since we've all been here and it's been busy and fun."

... Oh well. Maybe that's why there was a part of Tefra that visited me or saw my magic as an opportunity. Better be busy......? I guess you're nuking the house.

"... I guess it's settled. When dry adds come and go between your mother's house and Term Wills, you can rest assured not only about the dry adds themselves, but also about Harold and Cynthia."

"So shall we proceed with the contract with that? Do you have a name?

Dry Ado shakes his head to the side and looks at me. Named.

"... how about something called Floria?

"Yeah. Good name"

Dry Adds - Floria was to laugh and make her voice play.
