Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Knowing that Alfania had not brought magic ink, Waltz thought about how he could not construct the ink. Worst case scenario, I also thought about getting it back to my home in Alfania--

"Magic ink, magic ink.................. Ah! ♪ Pico 'n

—— Shortly before he spoke to Alfania to go back for it, Waltz seemed to come up with something.

"It's magic ink, but maybe it's in the Enchant's appliance, isn't it?

"Well... if I had let you in originally, I think that would be in there..."

"You don't seem convinced, do you?

"It's not that I'm not convinced. Is the Enchant appliance there from the future world? I didn't really care when I applied Enchant, but when I thought about it, I wondered what kind of magic ink I would be using. No, are you using magic ink in the first place..."

and Alfania mouthing researcher-like statements that are improving magic ink. Apparently, she was interested in the magic ink in the future world.

"Do you care?

"Naturally. But I just showed it to you, and you probably don't know anything. If we go back to the mansion, we don't have any equipment or anything..."

"Yes...... Well, in the meantime, let's take a look inside Enchant's appliance and see what ink it contains?

When Waltz said so, he took one hand of something like a metal seal that was attached to Enchant's appliance. There were about 100 of them all, like seals, and it seemed that a magic circuit was carved into the entire surface of them. I guess that means there are at least 100 different types of enchants as well.

After taking the seal, Waltz peered inside the surface and holder of the seal. But I couldn't seem to find what she was looking for.

"Sure, this metal column looks like a seal, but you don't have anything that looks like ink... There's no ink in the holder... Yes, Seal."

"Hmm...... that's the instrument of the future. Exquisitely made."

"Oh? Look. You know what it is?

"This is... no way..."

Alfania takes the seal handed to Waltz and observes it shiatsu...... As a result, she had a surprising look, apparently with some hint. What the hell did she notice...

"Perhaps... something like this seal itself is ink"

"" What... "

Both Waltz and Cortex suspect their ears of that speculation of Alfania, because they both thought the ink was liquid, so they expected something like juicy to be there somewhere.

"If you put this seal in the mana, the surface will melt just a little and the ink will melt out in the mana. Then, the magic circuit melts and is transferred to Orihalcon. I see... I see... It's a really efficient device! ♪ Shiny

"Hmm? Alfania?

"All I've ever thought about is liquid ink, but if it's solid, the density is increased... No, if the ink material doesn't have to be liquid, then maybe I can develop a higher performance ink. But...... can we get past this ink?

"Uh... looks like Alfania's in the zone"

"Uh, sounds like it. Is this how I usually react, too ~?

Well, like that, huh? You ready for the mirror next time?... That's good. Alfania? Alfania!

and when Waltz calls out in a desperate fashion --,

"Huh?!

—— Alfania finally returns to me. Was she embarrassed and apologized to the waltz as they modded and sealed her.

"Excuse me for this. It was so beautiful, I couldn't hide my excitement. How many trials and errors and failures have there been so many beautiful and efficient systems--"

"Still, admiring, excited, huh?

"I guess I'll just have to..."

When Alfania says so, she drops her shoulder in some unfortunate way and then... mouth the conclusion while offering the seal in hand toward the waltz.

"Shatter this and melt it in mana and it should be good quality ink"

"I see. But this, is it okay to melt it in mana? Does this seal have any effect on the magic circuit?

"From what I've seen, it doesn't look like this seal itself has the function of transcription...... There won't be a problem."

"I hope so..."

Waltz said so with a little concern, while dropping his gaze on the holder, which contained a large quantity of seals.

The holder was tagged with a written description of the effect the seal bearer had. "Fire-resistant", "reinforced", "enhanced recovery", etc. …. Of all the different types of tags, Waltz seems to have chosen the unwanted to be the raw material for the ink, but in doing so, she discovers one suspicious tag.

"... I have an enchant that Hiragana writes about. This catches something...... Alfania, do you know what the effect is?

The effect was that of the enchants Waltz and Lucia had attached to their own bangles. As a waltz, he seemed to think of it as an enchant that would make the meal tasty --

"I don't know...... The circuit is too complicated for me to tell. I mean, what is this complexity... I don't think humans wrote it..."

—— Like, I don't even understand Alfania... Inside the waltz, only anxiety seems to have lingered. It should be noted that Cortex seemed to have quietly sparkled his eyes at that time, but the reason for this is unknown.
