The Economics of Prophecy

Sixteen Stories: The Canary of the Preliminary Mine

"My lord Mathilde, it's time to transfer this type of demonic guide print to the circuit..." "Oh, it's hard here, isn't it? Two parameters collide..."

Even during the break, Noel is questioning Maitille. I'm talking about when I carve a circuit into a demonic silver semiconductor. Whatever the mere line, the pattern is a basic black box. They showed it once, but the light floating like a hologram on top of the pattern changes shape and interacts with the pattern next door.

The difficulty of adjusting distance and size was obvious. Well, I was more impressed with the sorcery dorm traveler who was flattered by Noel doing it with Her Royal Highness.

"Hmm. A catalyst whose effects change depending on the extraction... interesting. Be a tip to look for catalysts of the same trend. I wonder what happened to the catalyst that reflected the red magic."

Fulsey is talking to Vinaldia about the magic catalyst. Probably for use on radar. Having succeeded once in generating purple magic, Fulsey thinks of a single form of radar that extends the magic generated by negative demonic crystals all around her. The basic shape seems to be as good as the stuff up to here.

No one is taking a break. Since each of them is busy with their division of labour, is there any way these breaks could be a place for exchanging information?

Other times, Sherry and Lilka, as well as occasionally Dalgan and Prla, may participate. Lower temperatures can affect the medium.

Natalie is the one who's helping Alfina set it up. Natalie says the guys in the new building are telling me about the Magic Privy Council or something. Half the participants are not magicians......

"It makes me wonder if I can stay here on the boulder."

Natalie said. I tried to say, "Don't exaggerate," and I looked around and shut up. The Great Sage, the youngest court magician of all time, and the Witch Princess of the Prophecy.... normally a magic pivot meeting.

No, there is an Imperial Empress, so we need to attach it internationally.

"That Ricardo. It's a summary of the work..."

Alfina approached me. There are many notes in that hand.

"I see, after all, that's an obstacle to prototyping if the magic that occurs isn't stable. Eh, this one is as irregular as ever... It's a waste of deep red demon crystals on boulders, so we're experimenting with regularity with crumb demon crystals."

Negative demon crystals are drawing out magic, and if magic hits, sensory demon paper will react, so I can experiment. Sounds good when it comes to getting back to basics, but given the time left......

"So it's a sensory difference between that phenomenon and when you normally draw magic..."

"I'm sure there's magic out there, but something's wrong. Magic flows without resistance" "You're not responding, it feels sooo" It says what it feels like to be a human with qualities. Sorcery dorm travelers feel roughly the same way.

It's hard to understand what the senses say, naturally because you see things I can't see, but suppose you're getting your hands on things you can't handle with half the knowledge... For example, you think there are more than one principle that elicits magic?

"What do you think"

Alfina said. That's not good, I can't say the weak things here......

"Thank you. I see a little bit. I mean, the breadth of the experiment, I'm going to shake the direction."

I said. Alfina's face was just a little soothing.

"If you say so, you've been helping me with Meer lately."

I went to Natalie.

"Yes, because it seems very difficult. Of course, talking to nobles in the Chancellery is very difficult for me."

Natalie said while holding a plate with a soba bun on it.

"Later, after all, an example bond?? The chairman wants a direct explanation from Dear Ricardo on that. Especially from that royal palace..."

"Gu, I was"

I remember the paperwork Meer told me was urgent. The interest rate on the bond plus the period until redemption, the terms of conversion. Everything is searching by hand. What time will it be?

"Ricardo. You can't do too much of anything about that...... You have too much work."

Alfina looked at the paper I had in my hand and said: There's a line of things we have to do now.

"It's okay. There's a way to get things done without confusion at times like this."

I showed you another piece of paper. There are issues to consider, including the future. It's easy to manage when you divide it like this.

◇ ◇

Experimental results line up in front of you. I roar when I see it. On the paper beside it is written the organization of experimental results, their reflection, consideration of new hypotheses and methods of demonstration, and methods of re-experimentation.

"Perhaps it has to do with the area of contact."

That's all I found out. It cannot be separated from the conditions that produce purple magic stably or the pivotal method of bringing it out efficiently.

And beside them is a line of deep red demonic crystals emptied of magic. End price, if there is such a thing, but I don't want to think about it.

I didn't even understand the principles, but I was anxious to apply them quickly. Authentically unsavory signs cool the spine.

"That's a rare struggle, Ricardo's ass."

said Mathier, who put his face in the room. Looking at the scattered demonic crystals around me.

"I don't know what you mean.... I don't specialize in magic. I'm a merchant."

"I'm not being sarcastic. That's how I think about it. It's more like a normal magician... in a way, I'm relieved."

For some reason, it's a smiling Maityle.

"Normal, I..."

I know you're encouraging me, but it's pressure. Anyway, all my ideas on magic so far are applications of Earth's knowledge. If I don't see what I can apply like this one, it's like this. Did I just say the limit of textbook knowledge?

I'm not a scientist in the first place. There's no way I can figure out for myself the principles of phenomena I don't know.

"I'm worried that Ricardo can't do too much. You didn't even go back yesterday, did you? I was worried about Meer."

Alfina came in from behind Mathier. They're here together. The two of us have spoken occasionally lately. I'm concerned about the content.

"Oh, this is what research is supposed to be about."

"Ricardo is not a magician. Besides, I have a lot of other things to do..."

The air between Alfina and Mayteel cooled.

"Eh, what did you two..."

I heard terrible things.

"I was listening to the prophecy because I was wondering if I could find a way to improve the magic. You know, the possibility of using thunder. Even that larvae thunderbolt struggled, if it was attacked from the sky, it was a threat."

Mathier said. Alfina nods.

"Do we have to think about measures..."

It is likely that it cannot yet be described as definitive information. Will it be necessary to stand on the battlefield something like a lightning rod? What is the relationship to the weather? In the first place, how organisms produce electricity......

Too much to think about. What are the priorities......

I saw the black crystal on hand. Negative demon crystals are only amateur ideas. There is no guarantee that it will help. It is objectively problematic to stick any further to the survey.

If there are other ways in which purple magic can be generated...

"I'd like to help you more too...... When it comes to purple magic, there's got to be something you can do."

Alfina saw me.

"No, it's risky to rely solely on crystals. There should be more than one way to attract demon worms. Once something happens, it won't work."

I went. I'm not lying, I don't even want to imagine, but what if Alfina collapses at the heart of it. Alfina thinks.

"Well, you're not wrong."

I said it in the face that Mathier had no choice. Yes, theoretical arming is perfect. Yeah, we shouldn't give up more than we know about the possibility of artificially generating purple magic. Objectively.

"His Royal Highness Maitir......"

"I just want you to show me the crystal once, too. It doesn't matter, because I am the representative of the Allies when it comes to the calamity of prophecy."

"Yes. Then be sure!

Not long after I stopped, Alfina nodded. Do we use power here to stop?............... No, there are limits to being sweet on Mayteel as well.

With hesitant me on my ass, they started talking about going to the diocese now. Can't you help it once?

Alfina thanked Mayteel and left the room. I guess there will be preparation and contact with the diocese.

"What about Ricardo?

"Eh."

The rest of Mathilde asked me.

"If you're worried, I'm telling you to come."

"Oh, oh..."

"Ricardo. I don't know what you're worried about. But..."

Mathier looks at me. My eyes narrow just a little.

"I know, I know."

I took a deep red demon crystal emptied from the tray beside me. The purple magic can fill deep red demon crystals, or we'll do that test together.

If you lose your cool, it's over. If we are going to strain Alfina, we will consider the direction from which to reduce the burden in the future at all.

"Damn it, Ricardo, you looked like you were gonna lock that girl in a cage."

Mathier said. What kind of face is that?

Besides, I have to work hard not to make Alfina a canary in the mine.
