Vermillion

Ugh, and the shadow moves.

"... Mmm."

Uh-huh, and the shadow moves again.

"……… Mmm-hmm."

At dusk, a room in the inn.

"Like what?

Put your chin on Kay's shoulder and Eileen peeks in from behind.

"Pretty good. I feel like I'm working out."

With a small wand attached to the crystal, Kay answered with a serious glance.

A few days after Kay and the others approached Satina.

As a magician with the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce, Eileen was working on prototyping various magic props. The first goal is to commercialize "projectors" - magic props that display shadow paintings, but before that, they also create canes for covert magic training.

What Kay uses is its prototype. The cane on which it was based was commissioned by the woodworker Montane. Shaped closer to the Vajra pestle of the Buddha than to the wand, with a flair such as the array or just the gripping part of the dumbbell. There is a crystal with a big thumbnail attached to it.

"After all, it's easier when the Spirit is smart, making it"

Seeing the shadow of Uh-huh and Uh-oh Kay, Eileen said emotionally.

The crystal encapsulates the technique of 'moving the shadow of the user by consuming a very small amount of magic', but when this is the game, it was necessary to set it in detail until the behavior of the shadow and the definition of the user, due to the fact that the AI of the Spirit was intentionally set on the asshole child. Thanks to this, the spell grew longer and longer, and the jewels to be enclosed demanded some size.

But in reality, Kerstin changed from "The Asshole's Child AI" to "The Very Talkable Child," and even vague orders made it understandable. When I say "move the shadow of the user," it also grasps who the user is, and it moves the shadow appropriately. Thanks to this, the spell was shortened and the jewels were small enough.

"The spiritual AI of the game would have been a different game if it had been so smart."

"It would have been a little more of a 'it seems' game."

To Irene, Kay bites off a laugh, too.

For the reasons mentioned above, the magic props in the game tend to have enlarged gems, with very high production costs. At the same time, it also means an increased risk to carry.

If the story spreads, "I hear he's carrying magic props," he says, "Hehe, that's a good duck." "Give me the treasure!" and the stripping players and player killers will flock and be gone by the game.

If a player joins a major mercenary group (clan) and always acts as a group, he may be able to avoid raids to some extent. but they still sometimes remain hitched with subcharacters for chase that have nothing to lose.

That's why [DEMONDAL], unless it was an interpersonal event or a planned mass battle, the magic tools were rarely brought up. It was no longer turned into a kind of status item.

Assuming, however, that the Spirit's AI in the game was more flexible and low-cost magic props could have been created - canes with attack magic and disposable talismans might also have looked into the eyes of the day. Like other fantasy games, it's possible that the magic of flashy effects was flying around in bangs.

In fact, the arrows and stones of extraordinary power seemed to fly, and even if they were taken away, players who consolidated themselves with painless armor of cheap objects seemed to bump into each other.

"And my magic, it's so much more..."

Dropping her gaze into the shadow at her swinging feet, Kay squeaked.

Through the wand, there is a sense of magic being sucked out of the crystal. A very small amount - albeit not surprisingly dead by now - of Kay's character, who had not developed any magic-related skills at all and had developed him as a brain-muscle warrior.

But Kay's fine.

Instead I still even feel spared.

I guess the magic was growing because of the "Maiden of the Wind" Sieve's frequent squeezing out to the point of death. Thanks to the release of the growth limits of the characters in the game.

"Um, I need to work out more, too."

I guess there was something about Kay growing up, Irene nodding. Eileen is a righteous witch by two names, but she is not a pure magician (Pure Mage), she is a magical warrior who carries out both fleshshell warfare and sorcery. It boasts far more powerful magic than a brain-muscle warrior, but is naturally inferior to a pure magician.

But if the more you work out, the more you stretch.

"In earnest here, maybe we can move on to witchcraft - [Kerstin, arto kage-mai]"

When Eileen snapped her pussy and finger, Eileen's shadow moved alone.

He exercised the same technique on his own as the one enclosed in the cane. Eileen's shadow takes Kay's shadow hand and dances out a fork dance with her. Kerstin is interfering with Kay's shadow.

but Kay's magic consumption grows all at once due to behavior that wasn't originally envisaged.

"Nugget ahhh"

"Kay!?

Raising a voice that sucked his soul away, Kay took his hand off the paw and wand. Sung and Kay's shadow returns to normal, and Irene's shadow left over just says "oops" and the lady's shadow painting - returns to Kerstin's appearance.

"What's wrong!?

"… Something sucked my magic all at once……"

"Hey, you okay? No, he's alive, so I guess he's okay, but I'm sorry."

Oh, my God... and Irene with the blue face, if I let Kay die by accident, I can't regret it.

Especially not because of Eileen. It was Kerstin who interfered with the shadows, because he didn't envisage such a phenomenon in the first place.

"... don't worry. I just freaked out because I had more momentum than I thought. The amount wasn't that big of a deal -"

Compared to Sieve, the word swallows and Kay picks up a wand that rolls on the floor.

"…… interfere that it is the same surgical formula?

"I don't know..."

Again, many things seem different from the game. It doesn't make sense if you die in good shape because of how much stretch there is. Without careful verification, tighten the mood that was floating.

"Well, whatever. If you use it carefully, you'll be able to train your magic safely."

"I have to do something weird, you know.... Was it stable for normal use?

Eileen is still a little concerned about Kay, which is obvious.

"It was stable. The consumption of magic barely felt the brake either, and maybe even if you let the average person use it, it's a level that's fine if you're a person with a little bit of magic.... after all, if you find out, it's gonna be a lot awkward, this is"

Kay spoke in a bright tone so as to dispel Eileen's anxiety, but another anxiety point also came up automatically.

In this world, the means to build magic power safely and reliably are invaluable. If the existence of this magic artifact were known, it would be troublesome for the country to look at it.

"I tried it and thought it over again, but it's a horrible magic trick that turns me into a magician. It's worse than a bad weapon."

"Uh-huh..."

Eileen falls into bed pompous, arms together and roars.

I thought Kay was worried. He tried to deceive the strange air. "Well, we can use it alone," he said in a light tone.

"…… Hey, Kay."

"Yeah?"

Irene, who still remained a difficult face, eventually wakes up and turns to Kay again.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while. … I think I'll make Lily my apprentice."

"Apprentice?"

Making an impression, Kay glanced at her.

"A disciple... of sorcery, huh?"

"Yeah. Spiritual language (esperanto), algorithmic thinking and, once some foundation has been gained, magic workouts too......"

Watching Kay's hand wand, Eileen.

- Kay and the others decided to keep an eye on Lily's case.

I don't use Oz rings. No, I can't use it. Lily is sorry, but the power of the ring is too powerful to solve this problem. That's why I don't use it - instead, it's Kay's conclusion that Lily and the Montans need as much help as possible.

"Lily, I think I can't even go to school anymore, and I think there's something I can do for her."

It's Lily's mental problem that she can't get through. I can't walk alone anymore like I used to, and I have a combination with other kids attending school. Lily's others are just wealthy family kids, and she said Lily was originally floating, but she became even more exposed to curiosity because of the kidnapping.

The child is innocent, honest, and cruel. Instead of going through Lily's heartbreak, she sometimes comes across words that are fine like applying salt to the wound.

Because Lily is so pitiful - I guess that's Irene's idea. There must be some thoughts that if you can forget the hard memories, even temporarily, by passionately passionate about something.

"Of course, if Lily wants it, what is it?"

Irene said that, while she was sure Lily wouldn't say no. In fact, Kay thinks so too. Shall a gentle witch like Eileen invite a disciple to say no?

"…… I agree."

Maybe you can do that much.

"The magician from" Over Here, "too, the training method would be the secret of being out of the door anyway. Having a training law is nothing suspicious or anything. If you tell Lily it's an absolute secret, she'll keep it safe."

Kerstin is a shadow spirit. If I say that the shadow is always watching over me, I don't even think I have the guts to divulge my training laws until I break my word. Of course, not that I don't trust Lily......

And Lily's apprenticeship, although a little surprising, would be beneficial to the Kays if she thought calmly. If you train your magic now, you'll reach enough magic to outnumber Eileen now by the time you grow up. So you can find the covenant spirit and become a magician. Even if you don't, you can use magic props and magic gems to gain 'trustworthy' talent.

In view of the "cinema" plan that Eileen secretly envisages and the fact that she will live in Satina in the future, it will be a story on a decade-long basis, but the presence of a competent apprentice who will support Eileen should be a huge plus.

"Good, Kay agrees with me"

Eileen said with a relieved face.

"Around tomorrow, why don't you tell Lily?

"Right. It's like talking to Montan's husbands."

"I like that. The montans won't say no either."

"All right, then, we'll have to train more and more! My magic is still immature to be called" Master "."

Eileen begins to meditate in earnest by sitting Zen on the bed.

The Kays boast a sophisticated knowledge of magician facial defeat in algorithms, magic props creation, and spiritual language, but are lagging far behind in terms of "handling magic, feeling".

There was no magic in the original world, and it wasn't even implemented in the game until The Sense of Magic, so naturally.

"Both Mr. Valgren of Wolvern and Mr. Vasily of the Gaburov Chamber of Commerce have perceived our magic. I want to be able to do that."

Keep your eyes closed, make sure you roar and Eileen says.

Silver-haired mushroom hair to sign with "White Light Fairy," Valgren. And Vasily, a magician belonging to the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce who contracts with the Dead Bird (Prague). They were both skilled users and tried to break through the approximate magic power of the Kays without using any magic props. After all, the magician in "This Here" has an excellent perception of magic.

It's not easy for the Kays to wear it now, but it's worth the effort.

"Right. I have to work harder too."

Kay also, again, manipulated the shadows to begin consuming magic power.

From now on, it will be the routine before this workout goes to bed.

I have to work out. To increase the number of options available.

I'm also curious about Lily, 'Are you from Reaper Japan?' The letter also bothers me.

I want to believe [DEMONDAL] players and thinkers - friendly beings, but sometimes just in case. The better prepared you are.

I wanted to be able to take care of the Ignaz Bandits, and I wanted to be able to create Kay as soon as possible around the "Arrow Avoid Talisman".

…………

For once now, I stare at Eileen, who forms Zazen.

- Whatever it is, because Eileen and her own life are at stake.

That day, the Kays went to bed early after sundown, after consuming their magic until they felt a little sick.

Tomorrow I will be visiting the Montanese house again to see my apprentice -.
