Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

"Magic, needless to say, refers to the use of magic to make some sort of event"

Alana, who pointed out that there was a possibility that she could use magic on Minori, began a simple magic lecture as it was.

"There are several attributes in magic. [Fire] [Water] [Wind] [Sat], which will be the first basic attribute, and [Ice] [Thunder], which is the first attribute, [Light] [Darkness], which does not belong to any of them [None]. Raise the fine things and there will be no chili, but these are the nine that are mainly used."

Whatever the fine differences, Alana goes on even further, as this area often appears in fantasy works, and neither Yaichi nor Minori showed any particular gesture of questioning.

"There are two main ways of using magic. The first is to use magic to imagine and embody phenomena. The other is what you master using the Magic Book. The latter is called magic, not magic."

"A magic book is something separate from scrolling?

"Oh, totally different. Scrolling can activate magic on anyone as long as they have objects and magic, but magic means you must prepare your own magic book, store the magic you need in it, and stock yourself from there."

"... that the Book of Magic itself does not become an activator of magic, no magic?

"Hehe, Lord Yoichi is quick to understand. And Masato apparently understands it somewhat."

Minori was silently listening to Alana.

Unlike Yaichi, he should have no knowledge whatsoever of scrolling in this world, but he would understand it to some extent from his sense of speech and his stories before and after.

"Lord Yoichi is right, you cannot activate witchcraft simply by having a book of magic. Magic is a hallmark that cannot be used unless it is always stocked within itself. I'm actually going to take the magic book and explain everything about the stock, so I'm going to skip it now."

"Oh, I'd like to check first for reference, but what's the cap on the magic stock?

"There's no cap on the stock itself."

"So you're saying you can stock as much as you want?

"But that's not how it works. Sorcery consumes magic only when it's stocked. Although magic power depends on physical condition and condition, it basically recovers over time. But when the amount of magic consumption required for the stock exceeds the amount of recovery, it gradually loses its magic just by standing still"

"I mean, you need to think about a stock that matches your magic recovery."

"Right. So magicians need to replace the magic they keep stocked for the situation."

"What are the costs of replacing the stock?

"When removing from the Magic Book as a Stock and returning to the Magic Book, each consumes one amount of Magic required to activate the Magic Book."

"Isn't it possible to swap stock with a wheelchair? I see..."

Beside the whining Yaichi, Minori is also nodding as he was convinced many times.

"Well, that's it. I can't help but say more difficult things on this occasion. Misato, come on, but let's try some magic."

Once he separated the magic description, Alana suggested so to Minori, putting his index finger up in front of his face.

"Masato, magically what matters is the image. And to establish the image, it's actually quick to see"

In response to that word, Yaichi and Minori watch Alana's fingertips.

"Use magic called [lightning]. Magic is what embodies an image, so its effects are different for each person, but it is also something that still comes to some resemblance. So sometimes even magic can be named for its effects"

While briefly explaining, Alana concentrated her magic on her fingertips.

And at his fingertips, a light appeared about a bean bulb.

"Ooh..."

Yaichi raised his voice like he was impressed, and Minori closed his eyes silently.

"Misato, try it"

Alana instructed Minori to stay [on fire].

Minori nodded silently, imitating Alana and raising her index finger.

"Can you feel the magic going around your body?

"Yeah."

"It's an image that gathers it at your fingertips and creates light."

Minori concentrated her consciousness as she focused on her eyebrows and stared at her fingertips.

"Ah..."

And Yaichi accidentally raised his voice to the pale light that appeared at Minori's fingertips.

It is a weak and unstable light compared to Alana's, but it was certainly produced by Minori.

"Done..."

With that whine, the light produced by Minori went out several times bright.

Along with that, Alana also disarmed [the lights].

"Yaichi, Alana, I, I did it......!!

When Minori said so, as she entered the scene, she stared at her palm with a slight tremor.

"Magic…, really, it's a different world…"

And from Minori's eyes began to pour and tears.

"Oh, Minori, what's wrong?

Yaichi rushed to crouch beside Minori and held his shoulder.

"Are you okay? What's going on?

"I......, can I, Yaichi, help?

Wet eyes were turned to tears from Minori, and Yaichi felt the back of her chest tightened.

"If you could use magic, wouldn't you be a foot wrapper?

"Minori..."

"Even in this world, can I stay with you...?

Yaichi was somewhat hesitant, even if not so much, to bring Minori to another world.

It is a place where no danger can be known.

If you have skills like Yangichi, you don't have to, and you don't know what kind of danger Minori, who is just an ordinary person, can get into by visiting different worlds.

That's what scared me.

But wasn't that a mistake?

Yaichi held Minori's head against his chest.

"If Minori wants to be with me, you can stay. It doesn't matter if you can use magic."

If you're in danger, you can protect him.

And Alana.

Whatever the reason, Yaichi now realized that leaving Minori alone in the original world was an act that would hurt her greatly.

"Sorry. Let's stay together forever from now on"

"... Yes"

"Whatever happens, I'll protect you."

"Hehe, don't have any trouble getting me to forget too"

Alana also crouched beside Minori, and gently put her hand on her shoulder.

"But you may not have to worry too much."

"Hmm? What do you mean..."

Yaichi turned her gaze to ask Alana, and Minori, who was unlocked from her embrace, also saw Alana with a decent look.

"I showed you earlier. [Light] Ha, in magic, is the initial step. It's easy for anyone to practice."

Alana looks at Minori and smiles furiously.

"But while I've lived without magic before, I just saw it once, and in that short amount of time, I think it's something inside."

"Well, I mean..."

"Mm-hmm. So Masato has a gift as a wizard."

Minori's eyes sparkled in Alana's words.

○ ● ○ ●

Minori, who walks in the city of Mailgrad with Yaichi and Alana, was moving his gaze with a glimpse, surprised and delighted by the appearance of a town and a wide variety of people he had never seen.

"Grungy..."

Yaichi wrinkled between his eyebrows and stared at his index finger standing in front of him as he walked trapped in such a Minori and Alana with a slightly frightening look on his face.

"Hey, Lord Yoichi. Come on, why don't you give up?

"No, no, no..."

"You can't use magic without magic, can you?

"Ngu......!! Hmmm......"

He exhaled loudly and slowly lowered his hands.

Immediately afterwards, correct your posture and look at Alana.

"No, but I do. There must be some magic in my body that I borrowed from the janitor.

With that said, Yaichi thumbed up his chest with a ton.

"That being said...... No, that's more like it, right?

"With Doyuko?

"Are you and Lord Yoichi's caretakers, so to speak, like gods?

"I guess."

"Does it ever mean that the magic of its God-like existence is too powerful to sense the magic around it?

"Ah!!

"And is it possible that the magic is too powerful to be used?

"Wow, that sounds like it."

Next time I see you, I think I'll need to ask you more.

"If it's magic that can be mastered in the Book of Magic, it could be used. There's more to be expected."

"That's right. I hope I can use it."

"Look, here it is"

Alana stopped in front of a certain building.

That was a rare, wooden building in the city's commercial district.

Surrounded by hedges, it was an ancient and interesting giant western pavilion, with Yaichi Minori opening his mouth and looking up at the building.

"This is it?

"Mm-hmm. A sorcerer's guild."

Yaichi and Minori followed Alana's lead and stepped into the hall through a splendid door that remained open.
