On the day of Selene's unveiling of social circles-

I and Tet also received an invitation via the Adventurer's Guild, and, under the guidance of the King, I stayed at the castle three days ago and immersed himself in the library of the Royal Palace.

Also, Tet seems to have performed a sophisticated battle with the knight commander Roland, who was with the king, in a mock battle against the knights of the palace.

Tet isn't his best, but he seems to have done so because he needs to be the Knight's face.

I spent a magical talk with my grandfather, a court magician, who entered the library of the Royal Palace.

It's a bit embarrassing to treat me like a grandson and bring tea and sweets, but the experience of a long-lived court magician with lots of magic was interesting.

"The devil is a kind of magical life form like a spirit."

"Well, that's right. The spirit exerts the power of the controlling element, but what is the devil controlling?"

"That's a huge difference. If the spirit is born from the power of nature, the devil is based on what is born in the human world."

In particular, the spirits, wishes, and traditions that the good people began to see with the gods are called ghosts and heroes.

On the other hand, evil people and emotions become evil spirits, and furthermore, individual intentions are cut off from them, and evil magical creatures are called demons.

"And the devil possession is the state where the devil dwells in humans."

"Why is it called foreign law? Is it different from spirit magic?"

"It's fundamentally different. Humans in which the devil dwells can be rapidly strengthened by adding the power of the devil to the power of the person themselves. It's twisted, and eventually the demons take over the will. ''

Devil possession is an assimilation phenomenon with the devil, and in most cases, the demons are swallowed by human egos because of their greater magical power.

Spirit magic seems to be magic that transfers magical power to the spirit and causes phenomena.

"Thus, a human being eroded by the demon's magic will eventually mutate and gain substance.

"I see ... I will study."

Tet is close to the demon definition because it is a creature born of the assimilation of a golem and a spirit of the earth that has lost its ego.

The story of the grandfather wizard was interesting because he talked more as a researcher than a practical wizard.

"I'm over 150 years old and I'm glad to talk to a young child like this.

"Thank you, and you're pretty long lived."

"I wish I had lived too long. I wanted to die about 50 or 60."

A court magician grandfather laughing like that.

Medical technology relies on healing magic and potions, but in this world where medical technology is somewhat stagnant, life expectancy is around 50.

People with a lot of magic are around 60 years of age at least.

Those who activate magic, such as wizards and adventurers, live from the age of 70 to 80.

I was able to hear about research on the correlation between such magical power and lifespan.

"Actually, in eagle research, humans have two ways to extend their lifespan."

"two kinds?"

"That's right. As you extend your life to maintain the heyday of humans and extend your magic to a certain level, you are a person who will solidify there."

That is, the more magical power, the longer the life is, but I do not grow at all, I wonder if it is the latter and ask.

"Why do people solidify there, why are there people?"

"I don't know. Above all, most of the humans are the former, but only a small part. It is said that the humans created by the gods in the primordial world have such properties. It's like a high elf or an elder dwarf in a dwarf. ''

Humans or beasts? If he asks, the grandfather mutters that the basics are the history of struggle, but no matter how long his life is, if he kills, his number will be reduced to death or he will run away in fear of struggle.

"A person who is old and stagnant for a certain age is called a sage and is worshiped, sometimes called a witch, and persecuted. Sometimes he was confused with a demon-possessed human. I guess. "

"Is that so……"

"Everyone has the longevity factor due to magic, but I want to push the theory that some people have the ephemeral factor from the beginning, and that they have very rarely now."

"Thank you for the wonderful story."

"Faffe, it's good. Young lady."

Humans created by the gods-well, because they were created by the goddess Liliel, the primordial humans would have properties similar to him.

At last, I wonder if the eternal loli has been confirmed, and if so, I will give up.

With that kind of feeling, I spent a while listening to a funny story of a court magician grandfather, and the day of social circle came.

"Witch ~ There's rice over there! It looks delicious!"

"Tet can eat it."

In the social world, you can't even do ballroom dancing, so just wait to start standing by the wall or where there's food.

Tet is frowned at by eating a lot of food and eating, and although I smile with a bitter smile, I am careful.

Sharpen the senses as a demon cult may be attacked, but spot a trend from people gathering in the Great Castle hall.

"Hey, many people have a lot of magic."

Is it pedigree?

The person who makes martial arts inevitably excels in [body strengthening] and magic, and has many magical powers to support it.

On average, the perceived magic power is higher than ordinary people.

Are they born with a lot of magic, or are they customarily performing magical training for nobles?

Waiting for it to start like that, there is a glance and a glance at me.

(What is it? Is my style funny?)

You look at yourself, but nothing special is wrong.

This dress was commissioned by a nobleman's purveyor.

[Granted magic] gives various effects, but it should be a bland and calm design, but I don't know why it attracts attention.

In doing so, one boy talks.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Orlando, the second son of the Countess of Flamea. Where are you?

I'm confused, being so upset.

Apparently, she was the first girl to see her 12 years old, so she thought she had come from some noble daughter.

If you look closely, you'll see Selene's boys and girls of close ages, but it's probably Selene's future fiancee or friend.

And were they wrong?

"I'm Chise from the Great God Church. Unfortunately, I don't have a family name."

"Church ... I see."

This social meeting is a convenience when asked where you came from.

The one from the church is the one used by those who have entered the church and abandoned their names, but this time they are using it.

Well, if you need a sister in the church, you can go back to the world and get your name back.

"But I have very beautiful hair and eyes. It's as beautiful as obsidian."

"Yeah? You're a good mouth."

Is it a social phrase?

He usually wears a triangular hat so deeply that he can't praise his hair and eyes.

So the boy seems somewhat discouraged to think I'm flattering, but he talks to him again.

"How is it? I'll talk a little more over there"

"I'm sorry, but I don't mind me.

"If you don't say that, it will be a flower on the wall."

With that said, I try to take me out, but she is lightly intimidated from the side.

"What are you doing?"

Tet, with a smile and a plate with food, is lightly intimidating the boy.

"Sorry, sorry!"

She is stared at by Tet who is older than a boy and leaves.

"Thank you Tet ..."

With Tet's return, I felt that my boys and girls' eyes had softened.

"Muh ..."

"What happened to Tet, wasn't the food delicious?"

"It was delicious, but there are many people who turn their eyes on the witch."

"Indiscretion ...?"

She doesn't care much about her appearance, but she seems to have attracted the attention of boys because she is a pretty girl.

However, I'm sorry to have let a novice boy intimidate magic.

"Witches are aware. They are cute and beautiful."

"Is that so? Isn't it Tet?"

Tet's approach eased the boys' glance at me.

But instead, a hot gaze is being drawn from the sons of a nobleman close to Tet's age.

Tet, a pretty girl with a fairly enthusiastic glance and healthy tan skin and a baby-faced busty girl, is popular because of its unusual shades.

And he still doesn't feel like a beautiful girl, so he tilts his neck and waits for the party to begin.

――Her Majesty, Princess Serene Lille, come in!

Selene, the main character of today, finally enters.

Usually, Selene is at home in the [Void Wilderness], but she walks with a smile, stretching her back from education at the Royal Palace, wearing a beautiful dress.

I watched my growth since I was a baby, and now I'm impressed by Selene, who is taller than I am, and tears are almost falling.

"Let's be a good day tonight. My missing daughter, Serene Lille, is back! She escaped from the painful incident, and she was entrusted to the church by a brilliant saint and was raised and guarded! Congratulations on your return and let's have a big drink today! "

"""--cheers!

The king takes the lead and social circles begin.

Selene greets the party participants with a smile with the King, whether there is a greeting around or not.

"I've really grown up to be a good child no matter where she goes."

"That's right, but it's very hard. There's no chance to eat such a delicious thing."

He is eating a party dish at a heap of dishes and smiling with a bitter smile.

Then, after receiving greetings from a number of nobles, when the greeting was over, it happened.
