Let's Manage The Tower

After the conversation about the handling of magical instruments was over, Florian, who was having a little chat afterwards, looked at Kaiseki with a memorable face.

"Speaking of which, what were you making this time around? I knew it was magic equipment, right?

Yes, but not really.

The examiner answered in that way and looked reluctant.

Floria, who saw the face of the examiner and realized that it had not worked, looked at Sylvia's face for a moment before seeing the examiner again.

"Yeah? Didn't it work out?

"It's unusual to make such a face if you fail, but has anything happened?

Following Floria, Sylvia asked him to fold it.

By daring to ask a different question, the depression of the examiner (?) It was a two-man maneuver to prevent it and get the story out.

Without realizing the intention, the examiner nodded with a subtle face.

"Well, it didn't work out..."

Sylvia and Floria looked at each other again when the examiner said so.

They understand from experience that they want to talk when they come back like this.

Sylvia, who quickly switched his head, listened while looking at the exam aid.

"Could the magic team not adjust well?

"What do you think? Maybe the idea was wrong in the first place."

Sylvia and Floria were surprised to see the examiner say so with a slightly depressed expression.

It is unusual for an examiner to express his concerns at such an early stage.

Floria, with her hands on her hum and jaw, stopped looking and decided to listen clearly.

"What kind of magic equipment did you try to build this time?

"Hmm. I don't know if it's magic equipment... Because it uses magic and paper, I don't think it's a mistake to use magic tools..."

Floria looked at the examiner, who had said something that was not clear, and said that she did not know more and more.

"I know you want to do something with paper, but what kind of magic equipment do you want to make?

After hearing that clearly again, Florian sighed and started talking.

This time, I came up with the idea of writing a magic team on paper and using simple keywords to create a magical effect.

Simply put, it is like a charm used by a charlatan who often appears in games and the like.

"--I see, it would certainly be useful."

If you can do the same without using your own magic, it can be a useful tool for magicians who are always concerned about adjusting their magic.

Speaking of which, if only someone who can't use magic could do so easily.

With that in mind, Floria nodded with a convincing face, but Kaiseki nodded reluctantly against it.

"It turns out it's convenient, but it's not practical."

"Yeah? Can you make it practical?

"For the moment, yes. But after making it, I realized that there were too many problems, and I had to rethink it from the beginning."

Sylvia and Floria nodded convincingly when Kaiseki answered.

I was able to understand the meaning of Kaiseki's first vague answer.

"What's the problem?

When Sylvia heard that, the examiner continued to look reluctant.

"First of all, because it's basically paper, unlike crystals, it's less durable."

"Well, I guess so. But I thought you were going to use paper because it's cheap.

When Floria heard that, she nodded back.

"Yes, but paper is really not scalable, so there's less magic in it."

When Kaiseki said so, Sylvia nodded with that face.

Scalability here simply refers to the magnitude and number of times that magic can be included.

This low scalability means that even simple magic can only be inserted a few times, making it user-friendly as a magic tool.

No matter how hard Kaiseki tried to make the magic equipment out of paper, he could only make one shot of intermediate magic.

When Kaiseki explained so, Floria leaned her neck.

"If you can use intermediate magic, there's likely to be demand?

There are many people in this world who cannot use magic.

Many adventurers will be delighted to be able to use such magic.

"No matter how much demand there is. Because it has the biggest drawback, I don't think it will be very widespread.... I've noticed since I made it."

"The biggest flaw?

Not knowing what it was, Sylvia leaned her neck this time.

I answered Sylvia after she sighed.

"Paper with low scalability means it's bulky."

"That's... that's definitely a problem."

In the first place, Kaiseki tried to make such magical instruments with paper because they were lighter and cheaper than crystals and the like.

However, no matter how light it is, if the number becomes large and bulky, the weight will increase as a matter of course.

Paper is a material that feels unexpectedly heavy when put together.

There is no adventurer who deliberately carries dozens of such things and weighs his luggage.

It was the complete defeat of the study aid, which remembered the game and animation scene without thinking about scalability.

At last, I told Sylvia and Floria that I understood, and I went on to study further.

"I think it would be nice to keep one or two as a way to go, but in the first place, it's a delicate place to use intermediate magic."

"When you're dealing with a low-ranking monster, you're willing to be helpful enough... but don't adventurers with that rank make enough money to buy that kind of thing?"

When Floria said so, the examiner nodded.

No matter how cheap the original paper is, just making it available to those who can't use magic will cost you a lot of technical fees.

With that in mind, I want to be able to use a little higher magic.

... but here again, the problem of scalability arises.

I was struggling to do something about it, but in the end, none of them managed to hit the wall.

"- Well, that's why I thought I'd chill my head once and start thinking again."

"I see. If that's the case, I understand."

You haven't given up yet.

Sylvia nodded back after Floria.

"It's still too early to give up. From now on, I'm going to do it slowly and without stuffing the roots."

Sylvia and Floria nodded at the same time as they were relieved.
