The Economics of Prophecy

Twelve Stories: Late Gap

"Ricardo makes rustic colors. I think we were talking about a cold treat with that tea."

Maityle snapped her neck while holding the spoon. I sure don't see green anywhere.

"It's not the same time as at His Highness Lisaberto's welcoming party. It's like a grain of anchovies on top."

Alfina said.

"There is no art in the same thing, so I think the taste is comparable to the last one. Come on, go ahead."

Mayteel takes the spoon and slowly plugs it into the dome.

"Yeah, it's in there."

Under the brown cream, the green ice cream shows its face. On top of the spoon, grain and cream and matcha ice cream ride. As soon as it fits into her little lips, Mayteer's eyes open wide.

"Kuck, kuck. Looks fooled me again. Cold treats are a luxury, but what is this?"

Loose lips so you can't see them. Apparently, I liked it. It's a combination that won't fail against Mathilde.

Maityle immediately carries the next one to her mouth. Seeing that, everyone took a spoon.

"The color of this cream is chestnut, isn't it? Soft sweetness and smooth tongue"

Alfina said.

"Eat with tea ice cream, with the ancho above...... Oh, okay. That's it."

Noel said.

"At Vinder's instruction to move closer to chestnut lamb, I and Mr. Pulra and Mr. Shelley worked together to make it"

Natalie said.

"... is probably the best senior has ever thought about"

"Oh, that's... But it does..."

"Of course not. Ricardo made it special for me."

"No, I did drop by that way. This is a celebration of the completion of the magic squad..."

"His Royal Highness Maitir has twice to keep standing...... Not too sweet for Ricardo."

Alfina swelled her cheeks. Mathier turned against his chest.

"Oh, that's different. Not twice, but three times. That dressing is what Ricardo made for me."

"... three times"

I'm shaking both hands that Alfina shook. No, no, you both know how it goes from start to finish, don't you? Why do you even count to a failed dressing? -1 in dressing, +1 in peperoncino with tea soba, +1 in this ice cream. In other words, it should be calculated once.

"That calculation is a little different"

It was Meer who spoke out. All right, put this place away with your good math skills.

"Because there were three types of dressings. We should calculate them five times"

"............... Um, Mr. Meer"

If that's the case, it should be -3. That's weird, why are you making such a miscalculation?

That, Noel, who was hitting the tongue drum on the ice cream until just now, and Sherry, who is with you, have tough eyes. And Fulsey is evacuating toward Leonardo and the corner. Hold the ice cream tight. How did this happen?

"The next step is to actually point this analyzer at the demonic pulse? Either east or west...... When it comes to surveying the annual wheel, we need to figure out how to measure it. Sensory boards are expensive, but you have to try and see them again."

"What do you say we go all the way to the Great River? Even across the river, this sensitivity can be measured."

"Um, if you want to move it around, vibration and other influences like that..."

Speaking of boulders, the magic squad tells the next story as early as possible before an empty plate. Maityle, who was at the center, looks back at me.

"Any thoughts on Ricardo? I'll see what Ricardo thinks come true. I hope Ricardo thinks of rewards for me in the meantime. Like this one."

Mathier smiles naughty at me. What's that subtly master husband-like standing? As a matter of fact, I can't do more than provide concepts about magic.

"Isn't that right, Noel," said Mayteel, grabbing Noel's shoulder with a troubled face.

"Maybe there's a division of labor like that..."

"Ricardo!?

"Seniors..."

Alfina and Meer look at me.

No, riding such a cheap provocation involves a project leader's ticket. This is the place to stand and show the magic squad how much to leave it to......

"I mean, one pastime, I've had an idea. I want you to try that."

I pointed to the spectrum measuring instrument. Nothing, I didn't ride the provocation. Just try something I've been wondering about.

I wonder what it is.

Mathier's eyes narrowed.

"Curator. Is there an ordinary demonic crystal that has been emptied and a deep red demonic crystal"

"Here's the deep red one. It's empty... Noel will keep it. What are we going to do?"

"First place the Deep Red Demonic Crystal normally in front of the slit. Noel, put the empty Demon Crystal in place of the Sensory Demon Board. Position hits the thickest band of deep red demon crystals."

"What the hell do you start... The completion of this device is an amazing achievement..."

Noel will look a little scared while you do what I say. I'd be in trouble if you exaggerated like that.

"No, no, no, it's more likely that it won't work, so I respect you for not having to do anything. It's a pleasure."

I emphasize the aftermath. If my hypothesis is correct, this can happen. However, as expected, the wavelengths must not be strictly the same, so unfortunate results can also be fully considered.

"Then illuminate your magic power from the Deep Red Demon Crystal into the Empty Demon Crystal"

Noel draws magic from demonic crystals. Drawn magic hits a demonic crystal that is losing its brilliance. The magic disappeared as if it were sucked into a demonic crystal.

At this point, they all changed their complexions. Fulsey saw a new toy look. Noel is confused. Maityle opens her mouth gently. It's bigger than when you're cheeking on ice cream. Did you get this?

"Then measure the demonic crystals in the sky that illuminate magic with sensory demon paper normally"

The magic from the Demonic Crystal represented a band that was tight on the Sensory Demon Paper. The magic of the Demonic Crystal, which was empty, was revived. Perhaps the wavelength of the deep red high energy inspired something to retain the magic in the normal demonic crystals.

"The Lord said... that this was a pleasure."

"I can't believe I can replenish magic with demonic crystals that ran out of magic once..."

Fulsey and Noel make a scene against me that I'm so relieved that I didn't have to upset the place. Mathier is still silent.

Well, it wasn't charging regular demon crystals with rare demon crystals, I wonder if it makes much practical sense to be able to recharge them.

But in principle, it actually means a lot. Anyway, now we know that magic is the same basic structure as any other force in physics.

analogous to the electromagnetic force, which is the force of electricity. The structure is that there is a force carrier like a photon that carries an element with an electric "charge" like an electron and a force caused by that electric "charge".

"Come on, I don't know. His Royal Highness Maitir."

Cancer

Mathier punched her head in the desk.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you okay? Maybe I'm feeling better again..."

But Mathier started laughing with her head on her desk.

"Oh, my God. I can't believe the principle of a charging furnace was in this shape. If you look at the current speed, how much is this worth..."

It was only meant to be an experiment for basic research, but Mathier's reaction was more intense than I thought. Besides, he said it was speed. I thought it was faster than what?

…… wait, I'm sure the Empire's ability to replenish magic was higher than I thought.

"Hey, could..."

"Is Master Alfina here?"

The door suddenly opened and Claudia walked in when I tried to question Maityle about the secrets of the Empire. When I look at Alfina, I get close enough.

"It was just great. Kraw, you have this new ice cream too..."

"I'm sorry, Princess. Actually, the diocese contacted me..."

Claudia apologized and told Alfina what to do. Be aware of Mathier or your voice is low. The cathedral. Currently, the crystal signals at a weekly rate. At that pace, it should be the day after tomorrow.... Could it have narrowed the interval?

I got up unexpectedly. But Alfina shook her head at me when she heard from Claudia. Claudia's face doesn't have that much of an incisive vibe either......

"I'm sorry, Ricardo. Just in case, I'm going back to the cathedral."

"Yes...... But I can't."

"It's okay. It's a little complicated, but it's full of energy from eating something delicious."

That's what Alfina said. All I can do is drop off my back.

"You surprised me at the end."

Mathilde rang from behind me when I saw the closed door.

"Oh, no, I wasn't sure it would work. I was lucky."

I guess the energy ranking of the demonic crystal's magic power is simple.

"Is that true?

"... with that said, how about a meal?"

I changed the subject. As far as Mayteel was concerned earlier, it wouldn't be something I could treat as an entertainment. Mayteer also lost much of her strength.

"We can eat properly for lunch now.... I'm trying to eat salad too. Something that doesn't make you prepare soba every time. First of all, I didn't understand what Ricardo said about sugar."

"That's good"

Even though I'm horrified by the story of Maitille, my eyes really go out the window. I see Alfina on her way to the carriage with Claudia to pick her up. It doesn't look like I'm in a hurry...

"Cologne eyes..."

"What?"

My consciousness is drawn back into the room by the words that Mathilde said softly.

"That's what the Empire calls advanced magic artifacts that very people don't think they've made. I've never seen the real thing, but the crystal of prophecy would be called the ancient dragon's eye if it were an empire."

"... so to speak, I call Alfina the ancient dragon-eyed witch"

"They used to have several ancient dragon eyes in the empire. But now it's the lowest level, even though I can't make it very much, just one of them. Other than that, the user is dead."

"... the user is gone"

I swallowed a knife. Matcha and chestnut tannins touching my tongue, which was comfortable until just now for some reason.

"Yes, it was over a hundred years ago, so I don't know more about why either. But what Ricardo is concerned about may not be a concern. That's all I can say."

said Mathier. Well, did you know my concerns and tell me?

"... thanks. I'll rush the crystal analysis."

I bowed my head.

"Beh, it's nothing good. Look, there's no way you're not letting me know the results of the crystal analysis."

Maitille turned her face to the side.

"Oh, take it that way"

I didn't hesitate to say so. I can't care less about my political position.

View the Magic Spectrum Analyzer just completed today. And see the magic squad that made it and the Shelleys who helped. It's okay. There are a lot of people I can count on, including Mayteel.
