Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

3: Character magic

After they told me what kind of plant it was, I got a big bag and left the guild. It means pack it in this bag.

On his way out of town, he was putting out "status" again.

Of which I am still concerned is the Lettering Magic.

Even though there's a lot of magic to it, if you don't know how to use it, it's nothing more than treasure rotting. We need to know how to use magic as soon as possible.

I regretted a little that I should have heard it at the reception. Magic is not unusual in this world. Almost everyone can handle magic, and live more or less magic.

If you want to hear it, you can ask people there.

He stopped his foot and paid attention to the right side. There was a person there who lay a crystal ball on a small desk and sat down in a chair.

(... occupier?

I wrapped my black robe around it and I can't confirm my face with the hood, but it did look like a fortune teller on the outside.

"Oh? Mitsuhito there, how about one?

I listened only to my voice and decided I was a much older woman.

"No, I don't have any money."

"Well, well. But, Mitsuhito, you look like you want to hear something.

……

"Damn, you're not from this country, are you? I've never seen it before."

"What are you trying to say?

I stare at him to poke my gaze a little bit like a frigid smell.

"Heh heh, don't look so scared. Let me give you a little something to celebrate your first visit to this country."

"I'm not interested in divination."

"Heh heh heh, don't say that, sit down there a little bit."

I wasn't in a hurry, so I sit back in a chair that's placed face to face, just like the occupier said. Besides, I thought maybe we could get some information that would be good for the future.

"Heh heh. Then do it."

I put my hand on the crystal ball and concentrated. The sun colour watches in silence as he arms up. After a while, he spoke with a voice that impressed him.

"... well, this seems to have an unusual star statute"

"Changed?

"Heh heh, every man has a star in his heart. Shape, color, size, shine, if all of them are hundreds, hundreds different. In the fortune of the eagle, I see it. But I've never seen a mighty star before, even though I've occupied many before."

"Phew."

"Try to contain the powerful, and burning red, and the black blue dominates around it. The shape is a pure, innocent sphere with no corners on one side. And its brilliance is a dazzling light that reminds the beholder of his eyes. Right... well, not in this country, no, not in this world, huh?

Stand up with instant rattling noises. I wondered how this fortune teller knew about it.

It hasn't been that long since I got out of the castle. A fortune teller warned me if it was something I knew about royal deeds.

(Do you know that by fortune? No, this is no way either... magic?

I think so and stare sharply at it. I don't know if it's okay to be known, but I get up close.

"... sit down. I'm not even trying to talk about it. Besides, the otherworlds are rare, but not for the first time."

"... Grandma, have you been in the past?

"Only once when I was young. At that time, you had an unusual star."

I don't know if what you're saying is true, but there was something in the fortune teller that somehow attracted my interest. So I don't think it's a bad idea to just hang out a little longer, so I put my hips down to the chair.

"... well. So? What are the consequences of fortune telling?

"Heh heh. From now on, no, I would have already got the wings of freedom. Its wings grow big everywhere and strong and warm"

I don't know what you're talking about, but it doesn't look demeaning. It's only divination, so I thought I'd ask you half the story.

"Seeking its wings, many may gather in the light that it was"

"No, that's gonna be trouble. I like basically one person."

"Heh heh. Well, this is one of the possibilities for a future that branches out innumerably. Having heard the story here today, the future is so close. That's all."

"Mm-hmm. I don't know. I just do what I want."

"Heh heh. That's fine. Didn't you want to hear that, by the way?

"Sort of. Grandma's right, I'm a different person. There was no magic in that world. So when they say it's magical, it doesn't pin, and I don't know how to use it. I thought I had to learn how to do that as soon as possible..."

"Well, I see. A world without magic? That's interesting."

That's where I came up with it, and I don't want to talk about it.

"Hey, if it's a good idea, can you tell me how to use magic?

"Sticky, yeah."

I thought you might say no, but apparently, Professor, you can wish.

"Do you know where magic comes from?

"I don't."

That's why I didn't ask.

"Like a heart or a brain?

"No, no, magic comes from blood."

"Blood?"

"Yes, the blood that creatures all have, equally. That's the source of magic."

"Heh."

"So when you practice magic, you're aware of the blood flow that's flowing through your body."

"Blood flow?

"Yes, take a look."

The fortune teller has shown his open hand. And from the center of the palm, something like blue smoke flows out. Gradually it takes shape and becomes spherical in the hands.

"This is magic."

"... wow! Is it something that looks so clear?

"Well, it takes a lot of training to be clearly visible, but I also imagined this coming together in my hands, consciously."

"Imagine."

"Magic is the power of image. And the power of flow. In the magic of this sphere, the flow of magic is still shaped like a circle of blood"

"It's kind of a hard story, but I largely understood. In short, it's not a mistake to see blood as magic."

You're right.

"And to deal with magic, if you feel blood flowing through your whole body as an image and you are aware of it..."

Create an image of blood flow going toward your index finger alone. Then the fingertips glow pockets of blue and white, feeling just a little warmth.

"You mean you can do this too? I see, this is magic!

The sun colour is touching and shining his eyes, but the fortune teller in front of him is stunned with his mouth open pocan.

"Oh, I'm surprised! Oh, you said you'd never dealt with magic before.

"Hmm? Yeah."

"Yet I'm already in control. I guess he's got a lot of imagination."

"Well, this is still a book bug. I have confidence in my imagination."

The book is required to paint a scene in your head just because you read the letters.

It still takes imagination to read and visualize the situation in any place, who, what, etc., from a line of characters.

Since I was a book bug from an early age, I was quite able to imagine it. Instead, he thinks that's the only advantage he can be proud of.

When I stopped imagining it, the warmth and light disappeared from my fingertips.

"Thank you, grandma. Thanks to you, I understand what magic looks like."

"Heh heh, that's good"

"And one more thing, when I use magic, should I be aware of the magic flow, like I just did, and cast a spell or something?

"I'm not wrong. Look, Fireball.

When the occupier raised his index finger, a fireball just about the size of a tennis ball could be done at his fingertips.

"Ho ho ho ho ho"

The sun color sounds uncommonly admirable. Russian interest in the magic I experience for the first time. I can't help but be curious about my intellectual curiosity.

"It's this size now, but its quality, its size, depends on the image and magic"

"I see. But I can't use Fireball. Maybe."

"Hmm? Maybe they have different attributes?

"Oh, no attributes"

"... this is another rare attribute. Unattributed will be a unique wizard (magician) without exception, but could it be...?

"Unique magician? Wait, is that unique? You mean special magic just for individuals?

I judged that from my knowledge of games and novels, but the old woman nodded, apparently shooting at me.

Magic is based on eight attributes: fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.

No attribute means no attribute qualities. In other words, the unattributed cannot use the magic of other attributes.

Instead, there is a magical talent that only individuals can handle. That's Unique Magic, or Unique Magic, and those who deal with it are called Unique Wizards.

"By the way, unique magic is valuable in this world. More than that, there are many who have no control"

"What do you mean?

"Unique magic is all powerful without exception. I hear that control is also difficult. And most of them have lost their lives in the Recoil by outbursting their magic"

It was a frightening thought to hear the story. Because I never thought that unique magic was conceiving so much danger.

"So is control, but the most important thing is knowledge."

Knowledge?

"Yes, what the hell is my magic? Because those who don't know exactly that are in Rebound Death. Knowledge of magic, knowledge of magic, and one's own knowledge, familiar with everything and called for the first time a first-rate wizard"

"I see. Grandma, thank you for your help."

"Heh heh, no, no, this is the first time I've had the pleasure of meeting a light like that in a long time. Wow."

I can't confirm the fortune teller's face as usual, but I hear a laugh that I'm sure will be tearing his face apart.

"I'll be here any minute, so if anything happens, I'll ask. Yeah. Of course, it's paid for next time."

"You're neat."

Then he broke up with the fortune teller and headed to the city's exit.

(Sure [Assobit Plateau] was just east of here)

I walk to the plateau, remembering "Fukubiki Grass" shown in the drawings. After a short walk, Sole was easily found. It is shaped as seen in the drawings.

A kind of grasshopper with something like a little white bud on it first. That was spreading around on one side.

(This was an easier quest than I thought)

It's close to the city, and if it's so massive, you don't have to look back.

That's an easy level for beginners.

There's nobody around.

Pay attention to your surroundings, make sure you have no one but yourself before thinking "Status".

Move your gaze to "Character Magic" written in the column. And touch it gently with your fingers.

Then, the screen changed and the description of "Character Magic" was shown.

(After clicking on it, did the help come out? That really sounds like a game)

What I wanted to do is not just read the help description of anything. Because I thought I'd try magic here.

I don't really want to show others my magic, which seems unique if possible.

Because if it stood out, you could have been free because of it, but maybe you'd get a call from the king. You can ignore it, but it's hard to stand out.

(Well, it all depends on the magic, too)

If truly unique magic is powerful without exception, it can invite matters of concern to you.

Besides, I'm not talking about the old lady earlier, but I need to understand magic in order to know who I am.

I'm just not going to do anything more unscrupulous than have something called "recoil". I'm not going to die here yet, or at least, I just want to know what my magic is.

Character Magic Consumption MP30

Live magic in your fingers, create images, and wake them up in letters. The effect is drawn according to the meaning of the letter. It is a unique magic that causes so much phenomenal power that it understands reason and is forced to distort it. Was this magic once? % & GR! ……

I can't confirm it by typing it for some reason after what happened once. I was really curious, but that somehow understood what this magic meant anyway.

Still, if I don't actually use it, I don't know if the view I'm thinking of right now fits. By the way, "one letter liberation" seems to represent the number of characters that can be written.

("Character Magic" … right. Try it first)

I think so, take a deep breath and do a way to accommodate magic at the fingertips I did when I was a fortune teller. It took a little while earlier, but since this is the second time, the magic light lights up at my fingertips smoothly.

(Letters…? Whatever? However, if the effect of the characters imagined in one letter is to be exerted...)

I think so. I write with my fingers on the ground.

Then, after glancing with his fingers, he glows blue and white.

The letter I wrote is' hard '.

I imaged the ground hardening and woke it to the letters. Because Kanji is easy to imagine.

And shortly after he muttered with a small voice, "Activate," the magic in the letters occurs and flows to the ground, beeping as if it were a discharge phenomenon.

(Is this good...?

I try to knock with Concon and hit the ground.

...... stiff. It's very hard. It's like concrete.

Until earlier it was definitely just soft dirt.

Unexpectedly, "Ooh," and the voice of something touching gets zero.

And I walked to see how far it would work.

Cuttlefish Cuttlefish....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Apparently, the soil in the range of about four tatami was cured with roughly tatami. Besides, waiting doesn't seem to bring it back.

The letters that were glowing have themselves disappeared and gone.

I thought it would be convenient to lose traces. Because magic is less likely to be discovered.

I made sure it would go back to normal with the letters' original '.

A discharge phenomenon occurred again, and now he returned to the original ground.

I see the meaning of the letters is precisely created as a phenomenon.

(This is more than I thought..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I was aware of my own magical horrors.

Magic that can also understand and distort reason.

That means one letter can affect everything.

For example, if you give the effect of the letter 'dead' toward 'Fukubiki Grass', it will literally wither, and if you give the effect of the letter '10%' toward the rock, that's all it takes to break it in two.

(You can change the phenomenon there without question... and)

I think so. Focus your magic on your fingertips again, and now write a certain letter on the ground.

Then suddenly the flames rise and scorch the meadows. The letter I wrote was' Flame '.

But now the flames quenched in about a minute.

(Does it also produce any from nothing? Sounds like you got a hell of a substitute. This is)

Exhale in a sigh to shudder. Apparently, I recognized that unique magic was something with more extraordinary power than I thought.

But I was also delighted with my magical convenience. I think we can live without problems in this world. Universal magic is sure to help.

(But we also need to remember that it's still mysterious magic. That's true even with the typing earlier, and maybe the risk is pretty good because this is all magic)

The reason I thought that was because of the tiredness I felt in my body.

I feel like I'm mentally exhausted. So I put out the Status and checked it out.

(Still spending a lot of MP)

It should have been 120 when it was full. That's 30 now.

I used magic three times. That means consuming 30 at a time, as it said.

I just want to compare it to other magic consumption, but I believe it's probably quite a bit of consumption. Compared to other values, it seems that people of different worlds have more MP.

Perhaps at normal level one, there can be no three quetas from the beginning. That should be equivalent to HP. And the magic that an individual can use from the start, I think consumption is commensurate with that.

It wasn't even a game I'd ever played, such as magic that consumed thirty from the start. As the level increased, it was the market that the strength of magic and the consequent increase in consumption.

(Four times if it is from the full state in my MP. You need to level this up soon)

Yes, because the magic is decided that you should be able to use it more than once. If it's all-purpose magic like "letter magic," it's more than that.

(I understood the magic thing for now. Do you want to take this home?)

Grab the "Fukubiki Grass" you just packed in the bag and head back to the city from the spot.

In this case, there are monsters and the like nearby, and it may be the game's call to be attacked, but happily nothing happened to get me back to the city. After all, this world is a moment of feeling real.

The sun went straight to the guild and reported completion of the quest.
