The Magus of Genesis

Episode 7: Once Upon a Time Vision/Admiration the Past

"Come on, what is that!? What is that!?

Speaking of which, isn't Yuki new to seeing?

Eyes on the magnificently spreading beautiful blue, Yuki gouges my horns in an excited way.

"That's the ocean."

It used to be a good way to pick up fish to the sea, but in the last few decades it's completely gone. Because the amount that supports the bulging population is very difficult to take. The seafood resources are fascinating, but the ocean was too far away for me.

It won't take an hour to fly out of the sky, but it will take days to get back and forth on foot. Besides, it's too inefficient for hunting because today's technology can't even take that many.

"I wanted to be there."

Is it because most people haven't gotten it yet?

The sea in this world is so clear and so transparent that the bottom is visible even near the shore. And when I saw the creature swimming through the sea as if it were flying, I let my buckwheat and wings flap.

"Ah, it's a dragon!

"Hi, hello"

When I descend on a ragged rocky reef, a little mermaid screams with her face on the water.

"Hello!"

The mermaid greeted me without being afraid of me as a dragon.

If you say so in humans, it's still ten of them girls. She stared at me with her big eyes shining as she swayed her blue, long hair between the waves.

"I wonder if Utah is here. If you could just tell me that the Hyiro Dragon is here, I'd know."

"I'll get you!

When the mermaid says so vigorously and wears her hip fin, she jumps into the sea.

"I called you!

I thought so, it popped up quickly.

It's been a while, Doctor.

"Long time no see, Utah"

From behind it emerged a beautiful mermaid. It looks like the second half of twenty, but it was supposed to be over 500 years old at least. She climbs up onto one of the rocky reefs when she wears a large hip fin as if it were a wing.

"He didn't come to see me…"

"I'm sorry. But you know I can't get into the ocean, right?

I flaunted my shoulders to Utah, who sent a slight blaming gaze. I have nothing to say about myself just walking into the ocean, but the fish that live there… and the plankton they're eating, except.

When a mass of heat like me enters the sea, the water quickly boils back and does less damage to them. There was something hard to come into contact with the mermaids living in the sea.

"I was wondering if there were any kids who would be our students, so I came looking for them."

Except the other way around. As Utah is doing now, the mermaids can act on land as well. I was puzzled that it might be a kind of magic that they could breathe even in the water. Or maybe someone who can breathe in the air.

"To the students? Are you talking about the mahogany thing the doctor said?

"Yeah. I was wondering if anyone could learn magic with me."

The mermaids are, by analogy, sea elves. There are no natural enemies in the sea, and there is room for their first living. Unlike the Lucos, there will be no such thing as not being able to learn for a living.

"…… I can't, Doctor. There's no such thing as that."

"Really? Utah has a wide face, so I thought you might know someone who might be interested."

Utai tried to cover his face with both hands and shook his head horribly.

"'Cause your gakkow is on land... in a place called that forest, right?

"Oh. Not in the woods, but nearby."

"There must be a child who wants to go to such a place without even seeing the sea..."

"I want to go!

It was the young mermaid girl who brought her here earlier who blocked Utah's words and raised her hand.

"Go, go, go, go, go! I want to talk to you, Utah!

"…… Lynn. You keep your mouth shut for a second."

"Uh, why!?

To the boom and the girl who waves vigorously, Utai commands him to do so in an easy manner.

"Got it, got it, got it, got it! Because land sounds like a lot of fun!

"… This child is a little different."

I had eyes with me, and Utai said so like an excuse.

"Uh......... Lynn?

"Yeah!"

When I speak up, girl full of energy...... Lynn nods.

"How many fins did your fins get?

"Uh."

Lynn counts the engraved patterns there as she points to the fins on her hips.

As the figure of Utah over five hundred is youthful, the age of the mermaids is hard to understand by appearance alone. But their hip fins, which stretch like skirts, grow thicker and bigger year after year as if they were annual wheels. Count it and you'll know the exact age.

Lynn's. That's small and adorable compared to Utah's hip fin, which is as big and beautiful as a wedding dress skirt. There is no doubt that he is young.

"Hachi!

But I was told that the number was smaller than I imagined. It's as old as it looks.

"Well, I wonder if it's hard..."

Too young for boulders.

"Yep."

"Uh."

The dissatisfied voice rose from both in front of me and above my head.

"Why can't you stay?"

"Eight is too small."

"I'm ten years old, and I've been going like this for four years."

I groaned at Yuki's release.

Indeed, my magic school has decided to go from the age of six. It's the image of elementary school. I'm not going to take away my workforce because I can work enough already if I'm a junior high school student, and before that, it's a decision that I'm too young to teach boulders to read, write and magic.

Given that, it does also seem like Lynn is old enough.

"But isn't Lynn still unable to walk on the ground?

The mermaids can walk on the ground like otseys and sea lions with their large hip fins. But that's after I grew up. Lynn's little hip fin still didn't look very able to support and move her weight.

"That's not true!

Lynn declares so and leads him to climb the rock reef, letting him move his patties and hips fins. But it only struck the ground powerless, and its little body never moved at all.

"Ugh..."

Lynn beats the rock reef with a tail every now and then in repentance.

"I wish I could transform like you."

"Hein?"

"Yeah. Like this."

When you put the yuki down from above your head, it turns to look like a person. Then Lynn opened her eyes wide and her eyes sparkled.

"Wow, wow! I want to do that!

"It's hard."

Honestly, I'm wondering if I can do all this except me.

I can't imagine myself being anything but myself.

In that regard, I am able to recognize the figure of a dragon and the figure of a person, both of whom are myself.

But that is due to the peculiar situation of remembering a previous life.

At least there was no wizard besides me who could do the same.

"I'd love to!

But Lin said with a strong fever, diving into the water and swimming this way, he grabbed my hands and appealed.

"That's so nice! Please, follow me!

Or maybe it's just a temporary enthusiasm for a child to toy with. But the strong admiration and joy in his eyes was very memorable. I've never seen it, but it must have glowed like this.... Me once too.

"It's the mountains that I want to do that for you…………"

I can't walk ashore, though, and I can't help my daily life.

"Oh yeah, why don't we just make you an array?

When I was in trouble, Yuki accidentally said so.

"What are you?

"I made it for Luca and the rest of them, the one who did the dirty work."

"Aah… I see."

What she's saying is probably about the luggage car.

"Not in a luggage truck, but did you have that hand?"

The question is whether we can make it. Anyway, let's just do it.

"Wow, wow!

Grunting the wheel, Lynn gives a shaky voice. Simple wheelchair made by hand, but children absorb quickly on boulders. I quickly mastered the method of operation.

If you make it, it's something you can make. wheelchair. Even so, the structure may be something closer to prosthetic legs with wheels for dogs.

"You won't be able to run outdoors because the making is a lot sweeter, but this will suffice in the village or in the classroom. Some ponds seem to be able to live in Lynn, so I don't think there's a problem with that, is there?

I have previously confirmed that the mermaids have no problem with fresh water. You'll be fine if you live in the fountain that I used to use as a bath.

"……… Do as you please."

To my question, Utai said so in a frightened manner.

"Yay!

"Yay!

"I have no idea what's so fun about going up on land."

Lynn and Yuki joyfully hand in hand sideways, utai blurry.

"I guess so."

I leaked a sneak laugh, remembering five hundred years ago. When I first met her. Excited to see the dragon for the first time, he broke the grown-ups' mantra and came to see the little mermaid girl.

"……… What?"

"Don't worry, your daughter will take good care of herself."

"I'm not your daughter."

And the mighty mermaid distorted his beauty, and said.

"My great-grandson."
