The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

What struck me about the stories of the heroes that I was overheard reading when I was a little girl was that the characters who came out there treated me lightly with outrageous magic.

"Heavenly Thunder", said "Brave Man" used, buried the dragon in one blow as well.

The 'fallen star', said the 'wise man' used, destroyed the country overnight.

'Resurrection', said the 'Virgin' used, brought the dead back to life.

'Light Sword', said the 'Knight' used, cracked the sea and tore the sky apart.

At some point, I want to try such great magic myself.

That's what I thought to my child.

But when I was able to read the letters and excitedly tried to string up the magic book, my longing turned into disappointment.

Even though the research itself is definitely progressing, it is now said that no one can use these magics. On the contrary, they are also decreasing the number of users of extreme magic prescribed for each attribute year after year.

- What? Isn't that strange?

Printing technology, jewelry technology that can record all sorts of things, in times of instability, we don't have to know, and now that those technologies continue to develop, magic is lost?

Surely there will also be the secret magic that each famous house possesses. Maybe I'm bound by an oral tradition. Still can't wipe the discomfort.

It is true that there have been fewer wars than in the past. But the monsters are active everywhere, and dragons and demons are alive and well again. I do not hear stories of these beings being weakened.

There are enough places to throw up and throw away magic in action.

Nonetheless, the magic that mankind can use is getting a little weaker -

"So, but that has to take into account the fact that the hemline of those who use magic is spreading..."

"Sure. But it will also be true that the Great Magic is definitely in decline. Now we're making up for quality in numbers."

…………

"Even if we look only within the kingdom, there are very few users of" Firebird, "" Ice Snow Wolf, "" Stormdragon, "and" Thunder King Tiger, "which symbolize each Duke's house. Its power is a few steps weaker than it once was. 'Firebird' may be the strongest in history, but that's the exception."

"... I mean, is this what you want to say? You think you're learning fundamentally wrong?

After all, this girl is a genius.

"Well done. Correct."

"Since the Demon King's War 200 years ago, the magical improvements that countries have made... in vain?

"I'm not saying it's futile. Because there has certainly been a dramatic increase in the number of people who can use magic. However, the result has been a decline in quality. Isn't it more natural to think there's something there?"

"... my head is cracking"

Well, yeah.

All of a sudden, I was told this idea, and I believed it, and it was in that corrupt position...

"But I believe it. What am I supposed to do? As you said earlier, it seems that each attribute spirits that no one has ever confirmed is relevant."

"... I wonder why you trust me so much."

"Huh? Because... hey, it's nothing! Please proceed!!

Suddenly, Your Highness is turning a bright red face. I wonder if he stepped on any mines......

Cough and continue to fix it.

"I believe that people can use magic because an invisible spirit is helping them. Magic is a thank you."

"But the theory should have been denied in an experiment over 100 years ago. If the Spirit exists, it can be assumed that dealing with flame attribute magic in a volcano will increase the power… in fact, it could only be used anywhere to the same degree of power."

"You're studying really well. Correct."

Reach out your right hand and stroke your head - stopping on the brink of doing so. Danger. Danger.

... why does your Highness seem unhappy without a heart?

"But - do you think Tina has a flaming spirit in the ocean?

"Heh? Well, I don't think so"

"Why?"

"Because flames can't exist in the water, and spirits are the same..."

"How do you prove it?

"Hih, it's cowardly... it's against the rules..."

"Hehe, I'm sorry. Tina was good, so I wanted to abuse her a little bit."

"... the teacher is a little mean after all"

Your Highness in tears. Yeah, cute. Really good. It's fun to have a conversation.

"Here's what I thought. Assuming the Spirit exists, doesn't attribute mean much to them? and"

"... don't have attributes," he said?

"It's not that extreme, but I'm assuming there's only a slight difference in how good and bad you are. So what's happening with the magic building formula that's being used now"

"If it's flaming, it's just flaming. Only water if it's water. If it's the wind, it's just the wind... it's made to force one to activate."

"There is no basis. But if the Spirit exists - is it a pleasant help to a human being who only orders the same thing every time and tries to impose it?

"... you won't lend it"

"Exactly. Well done."

Because of this, when I honestly stated this idea to the school director, I had a very, very sinister look on my face. Probably a long-lived species (elves do giants do. superficially, humankind and friendly species). I guess it is also an arrangement between Otherwise, at the end of the day, we'll be pushed out to numbers.

Even at this stage, I don't know what's depriving me of real power due to a demographic difference beyond overwhelming...... I'd want to die.

- Well, it's none of my business.

"Well, we've talked for a long time, but let's just say it's time for an internship"

"… sir"

After all, are you not convinced? I don't know what else to do.

"I'm not convinced! Ellie please let us know as soon as possible why she doesn't stroke me! And...... please stop talking with respect!!

... I still don't understand what this kid thinks.
