034. Fried rice and magic practice

Back at the inn, Clelia and Elna were in the dining room. It looks like I was waiting for a cup of tea.

"It looks like you waited. Did you eat somewhere before heading out of town?"

Berthe breaks in before Clelia answers.

"Alan, why don't you make something and eat it if you eat outside? Look, you guys ate bread this morning? And there's plenty of rice left. There's even one last night."

"But this inn has no lunch?"

"Hey, you're on your side with me? I don't want to say that watery thing. Well, there's more rice left and why don't you make something with this?"

Well, Bath seems to occupy this morning's cutlet sandwiches, and hopefully I can make something and learn new dishes.

However, it is not surprising that I ate bread without eating the rice prepared this morning. There is no need to waste the extra rice.

"I understand. Let's make something. Are the rears okay?"

""Of course!""

Immediately, when I went to the kitchen, there was certainly a lot of rice left.

"What kind of rice dishes are there around here?"

"Rice is a new ingredient that has recently become popular. I've never heard of a restaurant serving rice."

"I guess so, let's make fried rice. Some of them use luxurious ingredients, but they are more like home cooking. If you make them at home, you can fry the extra ingredients and rice It's a lot of food, so let's make the berths side by side because it's so simple

I decided on the ingredients by looking inside the refrigerated magic tool. Eggs, some big boar loin, green onions and garlic.

The taste was decided to be soy sauce garlic flavor. There is no dashi but it will be fine.

The rice was very hard with the rest of it last night, so put it in a colander, wash it lightly with water and drain it well.

Cut the green onions and meat into small pieces and keep the eggs melted. Grate the garlic and mix it with soy sauce along with pepper.

"I'm ready now."

"Is it enough to use such few ingredients?"

"Because the rice is the main. This is enough. Let's add oil and fry the meat."

I prepared two big frying pans, and I began to fry the berths with the fire magic tool next to me.

"Here, lightly salt and pepper. Then add the beaten egg and stir. It looks like this.

Once the eggs are half-ripened, add the rice and fry as it is until the water drains and becomes dry. "

Bath has only a top chef, so it seems that there is no problem in hitting it.

"Okay, it looks like this. So put the soy in the frying pan instead of the rice.

Like this. It feels a little burnt with a fragrant scent.

Add the green onions and scented sesame oil here. ...... This is complete.

This will be served on a platter. Let's taste it. "

Fried rice after a long absence but delicious. Garlic flavored soy sauce with good saltiness. The rice is crumbled, accented with the fragrant aroma of soy sauce and sesame oil.

I will taste the one made by Bath, but the same finish is perfectly fine.

"Delicious! Is this the taste of home cooking? I was taught good food."

The fried rice was so large that it was ready for the Bath family.

We brought a fried rice and a plate to the cafeteria for lunch.

"This is also delicious!

As Clelia started serving a lot on her plate, I and Elna rushed to secure it on her plate. It is a complete meal in no time.

"Alan, today is the day you can adjust your armor, right?"

"Oh, I forgot. That's right. So, stop by at Zark's shop and leave, I want to try the armor."

When I went to Zark's shop, our armor was already in front of the counter and it seemed ready.

"Zarq is here to get his armor."

"I'm finally ready, Alain"

Clelia's armor had changed from silver-shined armor to dull armor that could only be seen as iron.

"Well, this. I had a hard time making this color."

"Isn't it okay? No matter how you look at it, it just looks like iron.

"Natural, because it's a crunchy adventurer spec."

"Lear, why don't you wear it now? I'll wear my own too. Zalk, tell me how to wear it."

I learned to put on the armor, but it was easy and straightforward to wear alone.

"It's so easy to wear, it's a big difference from the previous armor."

I try to move my body, but it is easier to move than expected. I don't feel too much weight, and I don't feel much like restricting my body freedom.

"It looks like there's no problem with the adjustments.

Clelia is wearing armor with her help. After all, Clelia doesn't feel right in armor.

Erna also wore armor, helped by Clelia. As expected, there is only a guard knight and his armor looks different.

"What about Elna? What's the armor?"

"It's very light and it's much easier to move than conventional armor! The size is perfect."

"That was good. Zarck seems to have made good adjustments. I'll come back if there is something more."

"Oh, come on occasional maintenance even if you don't need it, because it will last longer."

"I see, I do, then again."

Leave the store and head to the gate to leave the city. I arrived at the gate and wondered if there were any checks, but they didn't seem to do anything when I left.

After exiting the gate, I walked about twenty minutes north to see the rocky area that Bath had said. There is no vegetation at all, so here you can do whatever you can with the magic of fire.

"Well, Alan. I want you to teach me the magic."

Elna is nodding next to Clelia.

"I don't even teach you. Do you know how to remember my magic? I don't know how to teach it, because it's not something that people can teach. By the way, I want to learn what magic ? "

"I want to remember the magic of detection. That magic is amazing, and if I can use it, I should be stronger."

"Hmm, I understand my feelings, but I can't do that. I can only do that."

"I don't know if you don't try that, right?"

Wouldn't you be convinced that you couldn't do it without your mind?

"Then I'll explain the principle of detection magic.

After that, I explained the nature of magic and the principle of detection magic.

Clelia and Erna's faces gradually change to a startling expression.

"What's that ... I can't do that ..."

"I guess I'm probably a special kind of person, so I can only do detection magic."

"Surely that can only be done by Alan. Then I want to remember the explosion magic I saw on the river someday."

"Yeah! Leah, is that legend of explosion magic?"

"Yes, Erna. I've clearly seen Alan use explosion magic once, but with my eyes."

Oh, fire grenade. It's a magic that I've sealed all the time because it's dangerous. Explosive magic, don't worry.

"What is explosive magic? Is it legendary magic?"

"Nobody has ever seen explosive magic. Now it's magic that's not even certain."

"I'm sorry, that's right. I wanted to see it."

"Alan can be used!"

"That magic does explode, but it's not always the same as explosion magic. Well, that magic is sealed because it's dangerous."

"What is danger?"

"What's going to explode anyway? Isn't it dangerous if you hit yourself with a shard or a shard?"

"Yes, that's right. So why not use it only when aiming for a farther target?"

That's true. Grenade is originally such a weapon. It's dangerous because I try to use it nearby. Did you think it was dangerous because there was no idea that you could extend the magic range?

It's a good idea to have a powerful means of attacking distant targets.

"Yes, do you try a little?"

Well, what do you aim for? There is a big rock about 3 meters ahead about 100 meters. Let's aim for that. There is no danger if you are a hundred meters away.

Fire grenades would have required about three times the magic of fireballs. You will need more magic to fly far. For the time being, try it with five times the magic of a fireball.

(Please load me)

[READY × 5] was displayed in the corner of the virtual window.

Zoom in and aim where the rock is on the ground. Imagine a grenade, and a fireball flying a hundred meters away.

Fire grenade fire!

The fireball flew at the speed of an arrow and landed at the intended position. An explosion occurs with the sound of the dawn.

When the earth smoke subsides, there seems to be no particular change in the rock. When I zoomed in, there was a large depression around the point where it landed, but that was all.

Well, surprisingly there is no power. I didn't expect the rock to break, but not as much as I expected. Well, is it such a magical power five times that of a fireball?

This power is not a grenade, let's add some magic. Ten times that of a fireball.

(Enjoy twice the magic power as before)

[READY × 10] is displayed in the corner of the virtual window.

Aim at the same position as before. The image is the same.

Fire grenade fire!

The fireball flies and hits, just like before. I heard a loud explosion that was incomparable to the previous one, and felt something like vibration and a light shock wave.

When the earth had settled, the rock broke into two parts, forming a crater about 3 meters in diameter at the impact point.

This would be a power worthy of being called a grenade. You won't have much chance to use it, but more weapons. I was able to learn good magic.

Looking back, she saw Clelia and Erna, and both were stuck with stunned expressions.

"... Alan, it's good to learn the explosion magic again. I'm not going to give up, but I don't think I can do it now."

"I understand why Leah said the Knights were not as good as Alain."

"Yes, it may be a bit difficult for Clelia today.

You won't have much opportunity to use this magic, so I think it's better to learn more practical magic first.

Yes, what if Clelia told Elna? Does Clelia know both the magic book and my way? That's why I think it's better that Clelia tells Elna than I teach her. ''

"Yes, maybe. Erna, let me tell you what I learned from Alan."

After Clelia and Erna started talking, I decided to go a little further and practice myself.

I've always wanted to do it before. I had been thinking for a while if I could draw magic from magic stones and use magic.

The magic tool draws magic power from the magic stone and uses it. It was a morning lesson and I was able to understand how it was done.

I bring some magic stones to confirm that. I took out the magic stone from the bag and grasped it.

(Can you draw magic from magic stones?)

[Can not]

How can you draw magic power? Speaking of which, in today's class, the chief of the branch said that the magic would begin to be drawn out after the magic was activated. You may not be able to pull out unless magic is active. Let's try.

Use the magic of water while holding the magic stone in your hand.

Water!

Water begins to flow from my space in front of me.

(In this state, can you switch the supply of magic power from your body to magic stone?)

[I'll try]

The water in the water keeps coming and going. After about three minutes, the water flow suddenly stabilized.

[I learned how to change the magic power supply destination]

(Oh! Could it be done!)

[But the supply of magic power is not entirely from magic stones, with 95% magic stones and 5% body. It could not be completely supplied from magic stones.]

(Why is it so?)

[I do not understand. If you try to make the proportion of the body supply less than 5%, the supply of magic power from the magic stone will start to stop.]

(Is it possible to take magic power into the body in the current state?)

[Supply of the magic power used today is complete]

It's fast. In other words, the magical power inside the body has reached 100%.

(Is it possible to capture more magic power?)

[Can not. I don't know why]

There is no help for anything that cannot be done. It's probably the same reason that you can't get more than a certain amount of magic elements into your body.

But the original goal was achieved. I just realized what I wanted to do. As long as you have a magic stone, you will be able to release a great deal of magic.

The magic that I can use with 100% magic power is about fifty fireballs. If you are surrounded by a lot of enemies, this may not be enough.

After that, I should manage the way to take in magic. You can't just soak your surroundings with water every time you recharge.

Stop the magic of water.

Fire magic is out of the question, and wind magic is no good. Perhaps the best thing is light magic.

Let's see if you can do light magic.

Imagine the phenomenon that light, not water, emerges from space and illuminates the ground in the same way as water.

Light!

The magic of Light succeeded without a surprise. It's hard to see in the daytime, but you can see the powerful light shining on the ground.

Alright, success. Practiced several times and confirmed that the magic could be activated without any problems.

For example, can you light your palm? When I imagined it, I could light my palm without any problems.

Alright, let's make this a magic to replenish. Grasp the magic stone and flash your palm.

(Please replenish your magic)

[Done]

(Can this work be automated?)

Suddenly, my palm glowed and disappeared while I was not doing anything.

[Can be automated]

Great. Since it does not require much image, it may be possible for nanom.

Now you need to know how much magic is in this greyhound magic stone. To do this, we need to reduce the magic in our bodies.

Let's aim at the rock earlier with Flame Arrow. Is it a distance of a hundred meters and does the magical power need to be twice as much as usual?

Release the flame arrow with twice the magic power.

Flame Arrow!

The fire arrow hit the rock without problems.

(Since the flame arrows are continuously fired on the rock, if magic power is insufficient, supply magic power from magic stone.)

[Roger that]

Hold the magic stone in hand to prepare for the continuous launch of the Flame Arrow. [READY × 50] was displayed in the virtual window.

Five Arrows are simultaneously expressed and hit against the rock. When I repeated this nine times, my palm glowed and disappeared, and [READY × 50] was displayed again in the virtual window.

Continue firing the flame arrow. [READY] disappeared from the virtual window after the palm glowed twice.

[Could not supply magic power from magic stones]

Looking at the magic stone held in his hand, it looks like a transparent glass ball. The magic has run out.

(Today, how many fireballs do you replenish from magic stones?)

[For 147 shots]

Greyhound magic stones seem to contain more magic than expected. It's about three days worth of magic. If you have ten magic stones, you will be able to deal with quite a few enemies.

Looking back at the unforeseen harvest, Clelia and Elna again found themselves stunned. It seemed to be standing behind me.

"... Alan, what is it?"

"Frame Arrow?"

"No! I'm asking what that blaze is!"

"Oh, I thought I could extract magic from magic stones, but when I tried it, I was able to do it mysteriously."

"Yeah! Is that stupid!"

"I can't do that!"

"I can't say it's impossible.

After that, Clelia and Elna had a hard time calming down and calming.

"I don't know how you did it, I don't know well."

This is a usage method that Nanom finally learned through trial and error. If I try to do it myself I will not be able to do it.

"I can teach you what I found out."

The ability to draw magic from magic stones while using magic. I taught Clelia and others that if you want to extract magic from magic stones, you must use a small amount of your own magic.

And Clelia and Elna have been doing various things for more than two hours while holding the magic stone, but it still seems to be unsuccessful.

I'm out of magic and I can't practice anymore, so let's round it up today and return to town.

As we entered the city, the garrison was persistently asked if we heard any strange sounds. Probably a fire grenade explosion.

It would be better to refrain from practicing loud magic.
