This Time, I Became the Fiance of a Duke’s Daughter. But She is Rumored to have Bad Personality, and Ten Years Older

Lunch break, Jared was blooming in sorcery rigging with Laurenz as promised.

Members are Jared, Krista and Lars, and Kurt to Laurenz and Berta. It seems Laurenz didn't want Jared and I to stay in trouble and look for Drew, but they couldn't find him.

Berta and Kurt are twins, and they seem to be the eldest sons and daughters of the Baron Baltrum family who have walked with the Herring family for generations. It was well understood from their attitudes and words and deeds that they value Laurenz's position as a squire more than the position of nobility.

After lunch, Jared and the others lined up two four-man tables outside the dining room.

Jared talks to Laurenz about the difference between local and earth attributes, and Krista talks about something in a small voice with Berta of the same sex. Lars listened to the Jared's conversation over a cup of tea and Kurt listened with interest as the same magician.

"- I see, I learned. Thanks, Jared."

"I let you learn, too. Thanks."

Jared had much to learn about Laurenz's attitude and knowledge of witchcraft, which extremes local attributes. If you say you have three attributes, it sounds good, but if you try to extremes everything, it will take time. In that sense, a common single attribute is quicker and more concentrated than a composite attribute.

Of course, even though it is one attribute, it is not possible to perform magic at all. With that knowledge, the sorcerers try extremely hard.

"Hmm. I was listening to Jared and Laurenz and I wondered, can't you manipulate plants with local attributes?

"I want you to tell me, too. I've never heard of attribute magic that manipulates plants. I know the sorcerer won't reveal his hand, but can I just ask for a little bit?

To Lars' doubts and Laurenz's request, Jared began explaining.

"It's okay because I don't want to hide anything else... I believe that plants are local magic."

"Local attributes - then can I use them?

"Of course. But I'm having a hard time getting ready to use it. If you want to do it, you can send and manipulate magic to the plants growing there, but there is a difficulty that plants cannot receive magic. Even if it can be manipulated, there are limits to the plant itself."

And when I stop the words there, I leave multiple seeds on the table in a paper wrap from my nostalgia.

"What's this?

"It's the seeds of plants that are few in variety but can withstand magic. Some of them grow in monster nests and settlements, routinely absorbing magic and living."

"Is that what Tsu used for Drew yesterday?

"Correct. How can you germinate and manipulate by sending magic to seeds? Right, I don't mind you thinking of me as a kind of user demon. Because plants have a will, too."

When I realized it, it was of interest to all.

Even Krista, who is not a magician, embarks upon herself intrigued.

"But if I can send magic, even if it's not a local attribute, I suppose I can use plants?

"You also have compatibility issues. Maybe a water attribute magician can do the same thing, but not a fire attribute."

"What do you mean?

"What's the image of fire?

Everyone shuts their mouths and thinks to Jared's question.

The first person to open his mouth was Krista.

"Burn, or something?

"Right. It's one side of the fire attribute, but it's easy to imagine burning it first. Magic is also more or less specialized in attacks, so fire attribute mages cannot grow plants. It depends on people, but aggressive magic isn't the right thing to protect or nurture."

When it comes to stories around here, I'm probably more familiar with Kirsi Santara. Scattered and accompanied by magic experiments, I know it painfully well. Methods of manipulating plants were also acquired by Kirshi's experiments.

Because it is currently being studied in the advanced system, there is no precise answer. However, there must be a lot of ground and plants that come to mind when you hear of the earth, the earth. It is thought that such imagination, preconceptions, and the qualities of magicians may be suitable for growing and serving plants.

"Mm, that's hard. I mean, it's sensory, right?

"Because not everything is clear. You can ask Dr. Kirshi for more information. They'll teach you with experiments."

"I don't like that."

"Wait, Jared. Could this be what Dr. Santara's research is about now?

"Yeah, but - oh, it's nothing. I don't mind talking about this. Because if I step in more, I don't know how. In the end, it is thought that a local attribute magician has magic that makes it easier to grow plants, and the earth attribute is thought to be the easiest to grow because it has even more indispensable attributes for the growth of plants called water. In the meantime, you just have to think it's like that."

Jared is honestly not sure either. I just use it because I had the qualities to grow and serve plants. Because it is also the result of Kirshi's research, the price is paid, and if you knit the way you applied it, you tell it all. They don't complain because it's also an experimental bench. Instead, I wanted to complain that the price was too great.

It was Jared, who was answering Laurenz's question, but stopped moving on the pretend.

Everyone wonders what it is, and their gaze gathers.

"Hmm... you're a guest"

It was Lars I noticed following Jared.

I could see the little footsteps approaching. The Lord of Footsteps seems to be consciously erasing signs, but man cannot completely erase them.

Kill your breath, but your heart moves. It's an inevitable fact that if you move, it will make a noise.

But those who come close can be judged to be quite the users.

Stand up from your chair, pull the knife out of your uniform jacket, and rest, other than Lars, for a moment.

"Murphy!?

"Quiet."

Reply briefly without looking back. Consciousness remains intact. It stares at the dining room and a single door that continues outside.

"Uh, you know, there's no hostility, so it would be helpful if you preached the arrangement."

A familiar voice was heard and Jared immediately wondered who the Lord of that voice was.

"Dennis Beckman?"

"Yes, it's Dennis. Shabby - I'm not, but hello. Open the door, but don't attack."

No doubt it was Dennis Beckman of the Sorcerer's Association who showed up saying that.

"Dear Murphy and your alumni, my name is Dennis Beckman from the Society of Mages. I don't think it's a good idea to see too many association people going in and out of school, and I erased the signs, but I'm sorry I seem to have gotten alarmed. hahaha."

Liar, and Jared is intoxicating.

If you just erased the signs. I still didn't miss the fact that you had deliberately expressed a slight hostility.

I didn't realize anything other than Lars, so I took the stand to protect him, but he was attacking me all alone.

"Mr. Dennis, I don't really like to be explored. What can I do for you?

Jared Murphy, I have a request from the Society of Mages.
