The Magus of Genesis

Episode 8: Willing Magic/SPIRIT

"Shisei-!

To the vibrations that rocked the earth, I looked back reflexively and took the figure of a dragon.

At about the same time, a ruffle pops into my arm.

"Ruffle, dangerous"

"Eh heh, sorry. But it doesn't hurt, does it?

Blaming him, Ruffle answered without looking bad.

You can't even scold me harshly for being cute and sweet like that.

A child who was so distracted would change if he changed.

Wearing a way to control the power of the giant, Ruffle quickly mastered it.

The fear is the absorptive power of the child.

I couldn't have done it without casting a spell. I could have used it without chanting, and I could have used it almost unconsciously.

Not only is it possible, if necessary, to wield only the necessary amount of destruction.

Lately, beside her research, she has used her powers to build houses one after another, plow fields and build roads.

Whatever it takes, it's more powerful than its body. He seems to be doing great with literal hundreds of manpower.

Ruffle, confident and no longer afraid to make contact with others, was a very sweet child.

I've never been able to be sweet to anyone else before, and I guess I've been hungry for interaction.

I'm the only one who can support those two tons of bodies, even if I say I can control my powers now. So, this is how they stick together a lot these days.

"Hey, what were you doing?

"Oh, hey, I've been wasting my time."

As always, I assembled a water wheel that wouldn't move to Locke with chatter.

After all, so far, the water wheel has never worked automatically for me.

No matter how creative the shape is, the width of the waterway is aligned with the waterwheel, and the structure is such that the flowing water cannot proceed without turning the waterwheel, the waterwheel will not turn. The water slips through just a few gaps.

Then it was useless to drop water like a waterfall and push the water wheel from the top to turn it around. If he's willing to water, he doesn't want to spin the water wheel no matter what.

"What, that?

"This is a water wheel. Precisely, what I was trying to build a waterwheel"

To my explanation, Ruffle leaned from body to body and tilted his neck.

"I wanted to go around with the power of water and pass that power on to the stone molar so that I could grind the molar automatically."

I will explain the principles of the water wheel in the blind eye.

"That would be very helpful to the villagers if they moved properly!

Then she immediately realized its usefulness and said so.

Although he looks and behaves young, Ruffle's comprehension skills are not low.

She was brilliantly equipped with the intelligence to just enroll in college.

"If only you could move. I really can't move."

"Hmm... So the power of your water hasn't bothered you well?

Cute frowning and thinking, Ruffle asks.

"That's what's gonna happen."

"So, like the power of my giant, why don't you just ask me?

"Please..."

To Ruffle's words, I noticed all the time.

Really? Why didn't I realize it was so easy?

If you can't turn me around with water, all you have to do is magically.

Of course, a magical effect basically doesn't last long.

The use of magic is the limit for a few hours at best.

Well, still, I think it would be a lot easier than turning the molar with your hands, but there was a better way than that.

Lynn said the will resides in everything in this world.

That means that everything in this world is magic.

And - the simplest, primitive form of magic.

"Water. The flowing away, the shapeless, the cold. Let me give you a name."

That's a name.

The world is recognized, defined, and magical by name.

"Undine, the maiden of water, Undine. Show yourself before me!

"Magic itself" with will.

That's the spirit.

Answer my call, and sift and tremble as the water flowing through the waterway pops up in pieces.

When it was twisted and shaped, it took the appearance of a transparent woman without color.

The way I imagined it to be.

Because I'm the one who named it and gave it shape.

Water, from the great concept of the world, is like cutting like a picture.

"Undine, I'm sorry, can you turn this water wheel around?

When I asked her to, Undine smiled.

And then he stuck his tongue out and instantly jumped into the river.

"……… no."

Sounds like it.

You know what?

Being a fire dragon, I don't like the magic of water. I still can't get a drop of water out.

Don't they hate you because you have no aptitude? Or are you unsuitable because you hate me?

It's like an egg first or a chicken first, but I've only found out one thing.

It's apparently my fault that the water wheel didn't work at all.

"Ah, it's working!

Ruffle, looking over the roof of the house at the water wheel, raised his shaky voice.

Lynn is the one who's asking Undine to turn the water wheel. I was evacuated away just in case and asked Ruffle to check on the condition.

I knew Lynn would be okay.

Perhaps none of the things in this village are as loved by the water as she is.

If Lynn can't do it, no one can.

"Is that it? It stopped, didn't it?

About the arrowhead that I thought so, Ruffle said so strangely.

"Seisei, it might be a little impossible to keep moving"

Lynn flies over here and says that.

"Why can't I?

"Something that flows away"

It was a supremely obvious story, when taken for granted.

Somehow vaguely, the Spirit has always felt like he would stay on the spot as long as there was water, but that's not how it happened. It seems the same thing that flows away, although it will stay for a little while if you call it in.

"... What do you think I should do to ask all the water spirits to come?

"Hmmm...... like keeping it up on a sign too?

Billboard. Lynn's idea puts me in the dark.

"Oh, but can't you read the water?"

"……… I wonder."

When I said that, I didn't tell you what to say.

But the Spirit probably understands our language.

"Billboard... Billboard?"

It's a phosphorus, flexible idea.

But I had one idea of the equivalent.

Exercise of magic by letters carved on stones and trees, not by chanting spells by words.

- Rune magic.
