The Magus of Genesis

The season shifts, and the hour passes in an instant, and its runoff carries everything away.

"Well, I'll go. Ooh!

Outside the village, by the streets stretching south.

Watching everyone, Ruffle swung up a large hammer of iron to declare.

"Yee-haw!

Its hammers, made of metal up to the pattern, beat the ground with the roar, shaking the earth.

That's not actually a hammer, or a giant umpire.

The swinging umpire carves the text dug into the surface onto the ground and draws the impromptu magic formation onto the ground.

Then a little shadow flew into the formation.

Tia.

"Startup (AWAKE) Huh!

She presses a small palm against the formation and mouths the start-up phrase.

As soon as the earth was broken open and grooved, as if to unfold origami, it was hard pressed and consolidated and paved like cobblestone.

Its beauty breathes me unexpectedly. There was no other place to put Tia so brilliantly able to unfold magic.

The open ditch connects the reservoir to the aqueduct, and water flows into the aqueduct. It was so far away that even the eyes of the dragons could not see it, it should be connected to the bay inhabited by the mermaids.

"Yay!

"Congratulations!"

"Honey, it's been a long time."

As soon as possible, I cheer.

A major undertaking, connecting the village of Hiiro with the bay of mermaids by waterway.

The great feat, which spanned decades, is now complete here.

"You did it, Ruffle"

"Tia."

A little woman holds her palm up against a big girl who left behind her childhood.

Ruffle did not hesitate to strike his own hand in the palm of his hand.

"So I'm telling you to give me a break, you're going to crush me!?

Tia smiled as she complained as usual as she flickered and palmed it at her fingertips as it approached like a wall.

The two laughing faces are both muddy.

Granted magic that carves letters and activates magic. Its greatest characteristic is that it can divide the intent, meaning and will necessary for magic separately from each other.

Intention is to the carved. The meaning is in the engraved letters. And the will is entrusted to those who activate it.

If you are analogous to cooking, intent is a recipe, meaning ingredients. Will is like cooking.

Same recipe, same ingredients, but the deliciousness of the dishes varies greatly with the arms of what you make.

And Tia was indisputable, a first-rate cook. Is it because the body is small, its magical precision and finesse do not allow other followers?

Ruffle takes advantage of the giant and wields a hammer, carving a huge granting magic loon.

Tier starts it and deploys a finely polarized waterway.

By combining each other's strengths, this major project was formed.

"Somehow, we made it..."

"Please don't, I'm not even close."

I blushed unexpectedly at the water color I said in a relieved manner.

The wrinkles carved in her face, sitting in a wheelchair and looking at the waterway, are no longer apparent to anyone's eyes.

The hair, which seemed to spin a golden thread, lost its color in bright white, and there was no shadow to see.

After losing Utah last year, she feels even older.

"That's right. Your mother's still alive, isn't she?"

Plumpy and swollen cheeks, the complaining yuka is still youthful as opposed to the water color.

"I don't know... I've finished building the waterways for my grandchildren, and I think the rest of my heart will be enough to see my grandchildren's faces."

"Well, you can't live for at least another hundred years."

Yuka said away as if she were proud to win.

She looked just like Yuki when I was a kid, but she doesn't look so much like me now. Either that shadow, which stretched the red hair to the waist, resembled it somewhere when it was young in water.

I mean, it's a pretty girl, and she's pretty hot in the village, but not one of the stories that floated around for it.

He says he prefers older men who can rely on him. Whatever thirty years ago when my age was as good as it seemed, there is no such thing as an older, unmarried man than her now...... in another twenty years it will be completely extinct.

By the way, even though I haven't heard anything else, I've been shaken to say, "The teacher is certainly older..." Extremely regrettable.

"... Look, we're done, so we're going back to the house. I'm physically impaired."

"Mm-hmm. Right."

Nina was hard to pull her arm, and I nodded.

The cold weather in the winter, which has started to cool down for a while, will be as good as the current water colour.

As I tried to pull her wheelchair, suddenly, the waterway rippled wide open.

"What!?

A mermaid arrived quickly...... there is no way. I just started running water earlier, but it's too early. The water would not even have reached the bay yet in the first place.

But obviously, some big creature is moving underwater. I had no idea of a beast that could progress in the running water without breathing.

That's the same with Nina, who strains her nerves as we gaze at the water. Yuka stood forward to shelter the water color and laid her hands on the stone sword at her waist.

Well, I got a sense of vision. Something like this happened before...

Ah.

"I'm home!

"Dangerous!

Towards the shadow that burst out of the water, Nina's bullet fired from the tree, Tia's flame, Yuka's sword flash flies. At about the same time I ran out and ran towards the shadow that appeared.

"What!?

Whose was the voice of surprise? Without even knowing it, I jumped at her - Lynn. While I look like a person, my flesh is only equipped with the same degree of stubbornness as a person. Except for the coat you're wearing.

The coat of dragon scales changes and plays every attack Nina and the others have unleashed. Feel the shock on your back, hugging your soft body in your arms.

And then, out of momentum, both phosphorus fell into the waterway.

"Ha, I'm surprised -"

"That's my line!

To the swallowing Lynn, Nina paints an ointment on my back with Willow Eyebrows upside down.

I managed to forgive Yuka for apologizing after that and went home and took off my wet clothes and my back was swollen to the letter.

"Nina, be gentler..."

"You're too unscrupulous with you, too! Yes, I'm done!

If I accidentally complain about that hand that I'm relentlessly applying pills to, I'm smacked to pieces and I scream small.

The coat of dragon scales is very sturdy and doesn't heat through, but it doesn't absorb all the shocks. If you get hit with a metal stick from the top of that soft fabric, the damage goes through quite a bit.

I was unlucky to have sheltered the water color behind me. Nina and Tia's attacks were somewhat subtracted, but Yuka's was totally willing to end up with a single blow, and if I hadn't gotten in between, Lynn's torso could have been in two.

I'm really glad Ruffle hasn't joined the offense. Cautious she turned to watch the situation, but if she was beaten with that hammer, she would probably die with a coat of dragon scales.

"Yuka, you were so small, you got stronger."

Lynn said that to relax when she said she was about to be cut into two pieces.

"You know damn well she's Yuka."

Nina points it out. That's the same if you ask me. Was it true that Lynn went on a journey when Yuka was only about five years old?

"Huh? That much I know. The water color has changed a lot, but I'm glad she still looks fine. I'm sorry about Utah."

"I'm sorry you didn't get in touch with me properly."

I guess I'm angry at both the failure to attend Utah's funeral and this one. Nina said dissatisfied. The contact from Lynn had flown in like every day for the first decade or so, but she was stuck at the border one day.

Communication magic using my scale is useful, but it has one drawback. I can't get in touch with certain scales. There are dozens of opponents who are giving away scales, but it leads to all of them. If you communicate with me from the scales, I can talk to you one-on-one properly.

"That's the scales, they're broken."

Lynn says so and takes the scales out of Gossogoso and his bag.

"Broken?

"Something suddenly stopped coming through."

No cracks have been found in the scales removed. The scale I gave Nina nearly seven hundred years ago is still usable enough, and I don't think it's going to break that easily.

"Give it to me. ……… can you hear me?

If Nina takes a scale from Lynn's hand and whispers it to lean over her lips, her voice echoes in my skull apart from the sound of the air trembling.

"Sounds right. And this voice... sounds familiar."

Consciously speaking out of it, the scales trembled and made the sound of my emission.

"Is that it?

"If it's not aging... maybe there's a limit to the distance. Lynn, how far are you on this journey?

Is the furthest I've ever tried between the Lizardman settlement and the Mermaid's Bay? I didn't measure it properly, but if it's about a few hundred kilometers, it should pass.

"Hmm...... this is the village, around here is the village of Sig. There's a mountain here, there's a river, we follow it all the way, and there's a colony of giants around here..."

Saying, Lynn draws a huge mess of maps on paper. I'm not lost in that line, it's more or less the right positional relationship to my knowledge. Eventually it also portrayed a place I didn't know, and I could make a map describing it many times the size of the range I'd looked around before.

"I guess it's around here that I can't get in touch with."

pointing about in that map, says Lynn. Is it about a thousand kilometres away on the extension line from the village of Hiiro to the settlement of Sig?

You've come a long way.

"Yeah. Other than humans, they're enemies, what a surprise to have a village"

"Are you okay?

"Yeah. Here's what I did."

When Lynn stroked her, her tail turned to a person's leg, and the ear fin on her face also changed to that of a person.

"Did you turn into a person?

To Nina's question, Lynn nodded. It's brilliant transformational magic, but it seems the same thing that keeps me from talking.

"I can't tell you about people because so can elves, but there are closed villages."

"Well, I think we're special."

It's a village that coexists with dragons from the beginning. Compared to that, both elves and giants will look familiar enough to be close to people.

"But just get close and say, 'You monster, get out! I didn't think I could throw stones or spears."

"Someone took the road."

Nina smiled with Niyaniya as she returned her legs to Lin pointing her lips. Another nostalgic story... hmm?

"Is that it? Isn't that strange?

And I realized there was one thing, and I leaned my neck.
