The Magus of Genesis

Episode 7: The First Magic/True Names

"How the hell did you do that!?

"Wow, I don't know"

As I stuck my neck out to ride myself out unexpectedly, I shrugged my shoulders like I was frightened and stared at me.

"I'm sorry. Did I surprise you?"

"No......"

Was it rather surprising, Eye puts her hand on her chest to hold her heart?

He looks like a horrible dragon, even though he's used to it a lot.

That would happen if they suddenly approached me.

I forget to stick around because I don't see myself, but I have to be careful.

"Let's calm down and make sure it's in order. First of all, can we stop that?

"Yes."

With the nodding of the eye, this leaf, which was moving pico, stopped the movement.

"Do you ever move it again?

"Uh... here's the thing, so, okay?

"Excellent............!

Seeing the leaves of the moving tree again, I accidentally leak my breath of admiration.

"So! Fire! He said it was leaking!

"Whoa, I'm sorry."

"Already! willing to burn the house I made because of it!?

"No, not at all, I'm sorry"

I flat out apologized to Nina, who lay her hands on her hips and was prickly angry.

"But Nina, this is a huge advance in magic history. There's nothing exciting or impossible about it."

"Oh, my God, that's how much I can do."

If Nina held her hand, the branches of the trees entered through the window, making a noise of rust. And the fruit of the apple of the water lining upon the branches shall be splashed, and Nina shall grip it like a plump.

"Eye, can you do the same?

"Finally, I will."

Focus your efforts around the eyebrows, and Eye shows you how to remember something. Then, the branches that Nina drew indoors were broken but slowly began to move. Even with the same magic, the accuracy seems to be out of step between the Nina I'm used to and the eye I first moved.

"Can you explain how you're doing now?

When I asked, Eye still looked in trouble.

"Uh... here..."

She drops her shoulders disappointingly after moving her hands as if to indicate something.

"Good, no......"

"No, don't be sick. Because I'm the same person who can't explain it well."

The feeling of magic is like being told to move your arm, and it's extremely difficult to explain it in words.

But there is something about the magic that Eye used that is decidedly different from mine and Nina's. That's not natural.

Even if you don't know how to use it now, just the fact that you can use it is a very great step.

"Bye, Eye. How about this one?

I pinned my fingertips and flamed with great care.

Not from the mouth, but from the fingertips.

"What, you can do that now!?

"It's been a while."

If it is my magic to produce flames, doesn't it have to be anything from the back of my throat? Well, that's what I thought.

Of course this isn't magic or anything, it's also equipped with a bag of gas in your body, and you can't possibly do that if you're just igniting and blowing it if you need to.

But the magic of this world is really magic itself. Something similar to the burning reaction in the world I was in. If so, can you even get the flame out of your mouth?

I thought so and tried it, and although it was considerably smaller than throwing up from my mouth, I was able to get the flame out of my fingertips.

"Nh……"

Eye once again focuses on his eyebrows and stares at his pinned fingertips.

Me and Nina watch it in solitary spit, but a minute stood with a physical sensation, five minutes passed, and even enough, the flames never even appeared gray sparks.

"Sorry......"

"No, no, I don't care. It's something completely different with fire and trees, and yes, it wouldn't be convenient."

Comfort the eyes dropping their shoulders with the gentlest tone possible.

If it's true, I'd love to slap one of her shoulders, but with my hook-clawed hands, I might scare her again. The body of a dragon is also difficult.

"Hey, which is it?

Out of the way, Nina asked.

"Which, what do you want?

Her eyes are staring at me.

"That. Fire. I knew it was part of you, so you're a creature? Or, substance?

"Oh. This is... energy, that is."

Well, how did you explain it?

I tried to tell him without twisting too much for a moment as I went through my thoughts.

"Nero too..."

"Hey, Rugi………………."

Because it's still an outpatient language, or curiously, the two of them recite the words.

I also thought about unifying it into Japanese, like a force, a job, or rational power, but I think back to thinking that sooner or later it would be frustrating. The rich vocabulary of Japanese is due to the active incorporation of foreign languages. If you become a teacher of letters, you may have trouble with your head again, but there is no other reason for you to understand that it is like that.

"Energy is not a creature or a substance… it is the power to work for things without form. For example………"

I plug my hands into Nina's side and hold her up with the latest care to avoid hooking her nails.

"This is how I lift Nina... and this is how she falls when she releases her hand because the ground is constantly pulling us down."

"Don't use me to explain yourself... it's nothing good."

Landing on the floor without sound like a cat, Nina swelled her cheeks. Elves can jump from surprisingly high, whether it's because they live on trees or whether this is also a form of magic. He also liked the high places themselves, and he didn't look as angry as he mouthed them, even if he took the liberty of using them as teaching material.

"Hiragi... no."

"In the case of flames, light and heat. It's dazzling, isn't it warm? It's both a form of energy, and together it's called a flame."

While explaining it, I feel uncomfortable. Because Eye is too eager to listen to my lecture, which doesn't seem to be an explanation. My specialty is occult in the original world, and science only knows to the extent of basic upbringing. When I got into it any more, I felt confident I couldn't explain it.

"Hey Negi no..."

But fortunately, Eye gently meditates on his eyes without pursuing any further, whining about something in his mouth.

"Eye? What..."

I was suspicious of how the eye was doing and tried to peek into my face, at that moment.

"Whew!"

"Gee!

Me and Nina screamed at the same time at the flames that rose from her palms.

Will there be about four meters? A house built to size enough for me to live loose compared to the two of them. It was such an elongated, giant flame that it reached its ceiling.

"Hey, Eye! Turn it off!

"What, what, what, what?"

"Uh, how about this!

Bulb.

All three of us were in the extreme of confusion, and I was impulsively swallowing the flames that Eye had put out.

Although my body didn't feel the heat of the flame, and at least it was under the decision that if I put it in my mouth, it wouldn't be extended.

"It's... it's okay?

Like fear, Nina asks.

Fortunately, the flame that Eye emitted seems to have disappeared safely by my swallowing.

"Okay…?"

What's the meaning of this?

"Does it hurt anywhere? Or is it painful?

I wonder how weird I looked. Nina looked like she was about to cry and was peeking into my face. If you look at it, the eyes are bluishing and shivering.

"No, I'm fine. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you both."

When I accidentally put my fingertips on their shoulders, they exhale relieved.

"Eye, could you try flaming it out one more time?

"Oh, but..."

"It's okay. Because if there's going to be a problem, you just need me to eat it again."

In this light tone, Eye nods whether he has convinced me or not.

And when he meditated on his eyes as he had earlier, he let the flame float over his palm.

Did you pay attention to her this time, she's a much cuter size fireball than earlier.

"…… I knew it, right?"

Seeing that flame, I'm sure.

"Nina, touch this."

"What are you talking about!?

"It's okay. Because it's not very hot."

I let my palms fall into the flames of my eyes.

"That's because you're a dragon!

"Oh, and... really, it doesn't work."

Eye to be traced. She's got a flame on her palm, so she should have noticed it at a time when she wasn't hot.

"Look... even the leaves can't burn"

If you hand fold the branches of the tree and show them in the flames, the flames will just shake without burning into the leaves of the tree.

"…… true. It's not hot...... not that it's lukewarm"

Hands in a fearful flame, Nina said.

The dragon's body doesn't burn in flames, but it doesn't mean he doesn't feel heat. Instead, if we get used to it, we can know the temperature much more accurately than humans.

The flame that Eye created was terribly cold, to put it by my senses. The temperature is about warm water.

"Well, I'm beginning to understand…………………"

When I explained to Eye earlier what the flame was, I didn't tell him what was important.

That's a scientific oxidative action… I mean, the combustion reaction.

The reason I didn't explain it was simply because I didn't have enough scientific knowledge to explain it to me, but the resulting flame produced by the eye has no oxidative action just a mass of heat and light...... in short, it became "just something that looks like a flame".

In other words, what is created by magic depends to a great extent on how those who use magic perceive it.

And what does it mean to recognize it?

"Can we both move that tree?

I ask the two of you to point to a different tree from the one that is entering the window.

Eye and Nina tilt their necks, but turned their hands toward the tree.

And seeing that only the branches of the tree with Nina pointing her hand had moved, I gained certainty.

"Eye, let me tell you something"

While I say it, I think about what to say. This is all because there is no way to say it in Japanese. You're lucky you speak elf, okay?

"The name of this tree is Faggi."

"Faggi."

As soon as Eye repeated her words, the branches of the tree she turned to shake deliberately.

It is evidence that her world has now expanded only marginally.

- Yes.

The magic of this world was made by name.
