Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Experiments have shown that the use of scrolls amplifies magic power first and foremost.

After calculating the percentage of magic power required for magic, the magic gradually started to activate.

This enables you to

When exercising magic, the magic power is amplified by the magic circle.

Magic is exercised using the magic power of the magician himself and an amplified amount of magic power.

Using a roll (scroll) increases the transfer speed of magic and accelerates the time to exercise.

The shorter the time between the exercise and activation of magic, the more magic it amplifies.

It turned out that.

By nature, it takes a "powerful magic scroll" to amplify the magic power, so in the end, the scroll (scroll)

Tools only for using powerful magic (Ichikichi no Boost) stops.At a time when I could use a lot of magic with less magic power in the first place, it was a ridiculous story.

The question here is who is the fever born here after all.

This is related to the "glistening white shade like a lamé" that is discharged when the scroll (scroll) is burnt out.

This means that magic is not leaked out by normal use, which means it is not happening.It is conceivable that this occurs in a secondary manner by shortening the time for the exercise of the scroll (scroll), or in other words, the time for the exercise of magic.

And because it is produced faster than it can be consumed as magic power, it is overflowing, and it becomes steam and escapes to the outside before it is consumed.

If you can use it without overflowing it, you may be able to suppress magic power consumption even more.

This gas is called [Magic Power Vapor] for convenience.

"And then...."

I shrug my eyes to the mechanism that I am still using provisionally.

The rectangular silver object has a crack like a joint that reminds of the deformation mechanism.

It is smaller than the previous one, but it is still bigger.

The challenge ahead is to make this smaller.

... anyway, about the mechanism.

Packaged scrolls (scrolls) are loaded into the drug chamber each time, and after the magic is exercised, the used scrolls (scrolls) are discharged with the excess heat by using the expansion of the alchemy silver and the pressure of the gas that cannot be used up.The movement is almost like a low-back movement of a pistol.

What shape will you drop this into?

Think about the motion and mimic the handgun as it is.

Or I would use it like a cross and use it as a shield.

No, it might be a good idea to make it a tailor-made shaped shirt to be worn on your arm.

That's how I'm inflating my delusions.

"Ah....."

I realized there was a serious problem.

●

In the Mansion of Crave Arvent.

Crave, the owner of the mansion, was staring at a collection of cigars in the office.

"- Excuse me, Mr. Crave, we have a guest here. Is it okay if we have a moment?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's okay. Let me through."

A while after Crave gave her permission.It was a beautiful-looking young man who came into the office.

A pitiful beauty with blue hair and monoculars.He was the first officer he had before, wearing a cold sword power like a cold wind.

Clive-sama, I'm so embarrassed... I haven't been free for so long since we met.

"What is it, Noah?"What's the matter, all of a sudden? Have you missed my deputy? "

“No way. I don't have time for that with Lord Arkes.”

"Hahaha! Really?!It seems that the fun is going on for a long time, and I'm glad to hear that! "

“Absolutely. You won't get bored with Miss Arkes.”

You're busy with that, aren't you?

Of course, one thing is that you hate Mr. Clave.

"Hey, hey, it's my fault."

After that, Crave turned to the air conditioner installed in the upper corner of the room.

"That's good, I got it last time." You can stay cool even in the summer. "

“Personally, I think this is a bigger invention than a magic meter.”

"That's too much to say..."Maybe it became more popular than the magic meter.Unlike magic meters, if there are other benefits besides magicians, there will be more compliments from this side. "

"That's what Mr. Arkes said."Also, if you use too much, your body will cool down before you know it, so I want you to be careful. "

I'll make sure it doesn't hit the wind, right?

Crave finishes talking to the world instead of saying hello, and then asks Noah.

"So, what happened today?"Did something happen? "

“Yes, Mr. Arkes wants to talk to you about something.This time I'm kind of ahead of the curve. "

"What, did you make something up again?"

“Looking at the momentum, I think this is going to be more than ever.”

”Hmm... then I'll have to pay attention to people's ears again”

Crave narrows her eyes by saying that.He then summoned the servants of the mansion and told them to pay around the room and to be more vigilant around the mansion.

While you're doing that, someone arrives who brought Crave to talk to you.

However, the person opened the door of the office and cut out loudly to Crave.

"- Uncle, please give me the money!"

"Don't go in there, you stupid bastard!"

Too much was said by her nephew, and Crave yelled back.

●

On this day, Arkes was visiting his uncle, Crave's mansion.

The purpose of the visit is, of course, about the next invention.

... Crave's office is already equipped with air conditioning, which keeps the room temperature at a comfortable level.He's a hard worker. He says he's doing his job anywhere else in the world where Arkes knows people.The hard part is that we have to maintain it regularly so that we don't have to go on strike.

Perhaps the first approach was wrong, or Crave let out a dumb sigh.

"Damn, that's the kind of word that comes in."

"No, I thought it would be better to say it straightforwardly than to go around poorly." Ahahaha

"So? You came to me carelessly because you needed money?"

"Yes, I really need it right now, so could you please work on it..."

Arkes bows his head to Crave and begs.

It was doubtful that Crave had bumped into him like that.

"But you've earned a lot of money in the previous battle, right?"Besides, even if you and this workshop made money together with the rewards and income of the magic meter (this one), it shouldn't stop you from turning your neck like that. "

“If I had bought a house, developed tools in a guild workshop, and bought some stock for Soma, I would have been a little bit reluctant to pay instantly.”

Is that so?

Without air conditioning, we would have had more room.

This is it.

"To some extent, I thought that the supply was a prospect, but now it seems that the demand from the senior nobility has increased."If I had bought all the ingredients in a hurry, the money would have gone farther away than I thought... "

The Arkes Workshop is located on the premises of the guild, but it's not run directly by the guild, it's independent.Therefore, even though it is an expense, receiving money in the guild requires a lot of cumbersome procedures.

In a hurry, I temporarily cut off my personal allowance, but I didn't think it would be necessary until the instant money was at the bottom.

Because I'm filing an application, I'll get the money back from the guild immediately, but I don't have the money I want right now.

I think it would be good to wait for a short time, but the idea is fresh.Hit the iron while it's hot.Things have to act before they lose their calories.

So,

"I was wondering if you could lend me your uncle's money."

"It's not a child's word, it's a loan."Aren't you wasting a bit too much? "

Well then, do you mind if I send less soma to my uncle?

"Do you think I would give in to that low level of threat?So? How much do you want? "

Crave wears his glasses while holding a cigar, and naturally starts playing with calculators like Abacus.

Kazuy, who was watching it, made a face that looked like she had seen something that seemed to stink.

"Old man, what's wrong with the context before and after?" I'm bowing. I'm bowing. "

“Shut up. This guy can't make something that good.”

Surely, it all stemmed from the actions of Lord Arkes.

"Huh!? What!? It's my fault!?"

"That's right. Even a child can't make sake, you evil brat." It's a felony. It's a felony. "

Even though I didn't do anything wrong, I was accused of being funny.

It is utterly irrational.

Whatever.

"Please lend me your money so that I can repay you properly!" Please! "

Lower your head wide again and ask Crave to do it.

What, are you trying to do it again?

"Yes! This time it's amazing!If this succeeds, we can bridge the magic power gap of the Mage... to a certain extent! "

Closing the magic gap? What do you mean? "

Yes! I have established a theory of tools that can use strong magic even with less magic power!

"... what about you?"

Arkes puts his chest to Claive's face.

Seeing the expression, Claive rubbed her eyebrows and pushed out her palm like a wait.

"Wait, wait, wait... what the hell?"What the hell did you do? "

That's why we designed a tool to use strong magic with less magic power.

"You said you had established your theory earlier."

“If we can even make the right device, we can make it happen!”

…………

Crave exhales a huge sigh.

“How much exactly can you save?”

"Originally, it was about three times, but it was five times based on the assumption that all the conditions were in place."

"Double? No, I'm talking about reducing?"

"Well, there's a lot of differences in the calculation... at least I'm expecting four to five times more than my current ability to carry on the war."

I'm not sure, but the point is that if you use it, it will be about the average of an army mage.

Of course, it will go up and down depending on the magic used, but I wonder if even the lowest estimate can do that.

"You're so big...?"

Crave stretched out her hand like she wanted something from me.

"Ah... do I really need a plan?"

"Of course, you can't say that."You too will soon be in a position to raise your plans to the guild.We need to be able to do it properly in that area right now.

"Isn't that right... eh? The plan?"

"That's right. I'm still trying to make a lot of things."It's personal now, and it's not big, so it's still good, but it's necessary if you start doing big business from that position. "

"Oh, that's exactly what I'm asking you.Maybe we can't make any more. "

"Only the one who says that can say that."You want to be great, don't you?What about that? Huh? "

"Ah, ahahaha..."

Craving a rugged face, I grinned and laughed at the bag I had brought.

Part of the plan was taken out of there.

Patin. Crave cuts the tip of the cigar she took out and lights it.

And I breathed out an impressive breath somewhere.

What the hell? I thought you were bringing it to me, huh?

I thought you might need it.

”Not for a while, definitely... if I come with you at all, will it be solid or messy?”

Crave picked up the plan while holding her teeth up against the lit cigar.

Then Noah makes a modest complaint.

Master Crave, that's vulgar.

"This person is not elegant when she's born."

"Oh, what exactly is the birth of the greatest military family... it's absolutely pathetic"

"Noah, that's what you're telling me, right?Definitely, right?

I'll leave that to your imagination.

A servant who runs away with sarcasm.

On the other hand, Kazuy who saw the exchange of the theatrical sermons, said, "Kihei!”He laughed like other personnel.

What's in it?

"It's okay, the text is in its entirety in [Ancient Arts], using the guild code."

"Have you learned the guild code yet?"

"I've decided that you're going to do it as soon as possible."In the first place, in my case, it's as soon as I see it. "

That's what I thought.

The contents of the plan are largely encrypted so that only knowledgeable people can read it.

"... hmm. A mechanism using scrolls?"

"Yes, this is the scroll."

Take the actual scroll (scroll) packaged from the bag and present it.

The scroll of the man's country is a cylindrical object.

Crave glanced at the details as she received it, and eventually opened the opening dexterously to retrieve the contents, perhaps seeing the mechanism of the package.

"Is it a roll of paper?"

It says [Flaming Spear (Flamelaroon)] made by my uncle.

"Huh? The magic circle and [magic characters (Artsglyphs)] that occur. This is the process of changing the spell."It's written to burn magic silver.

Exactly. Did you see what it says at first sight?

"Hmm. I know this kind of thing."

When Crave says that, she puts the scroll back in the package and starts looking for books from the cupboard.

I stacked up books that I didn't need on the desk and put my hands on what was in the back.

"Oh, there it is. There it is." This is it.It seems that there was a mage who studied the magic circle a long time ago. "

Having said that, Crave throws a book in her hand and brings it to me.Catching it, the servants lined up their faces and looked at the contents, there was certainly research and discussion about the magic circle.

"...... you've not studied the magic circle very well, have you?"

"That's right, it comes out when you use magic."Some of them will want to do some research.However, I've studied it so far, but I didn't seem to find a way to make good use of it. "

That's right. The magic circle is all that's left to talk about.

"If I connect it to the engraving from here, I could have continued my research, but in any case, it seems that I was frustrated because I needed a lot more magic silver."

"Ahh, because there was less production of silver and refining of magic silver than before..."

"I guess so." In that regard, you have a proven track record of magic meters and engravings around you, so if you need them, the surroundings will be worked on. "

"Yes, long live the roots"

When I say that, I raise my hands without paying attention.

“Oh, is this what children say?”

I'm scared of a kid who's doing it after turning it into a mouthpiece

Behind them, the servants began to say something again.Are these guys really going to have to say something anyway?When he turned his eyes slightly over his shoulder, one of them wiped his glasses with a handkerchief and pretended to be deaf, while the other turned his back and whistled.The skin on the surface is thick.

"Well, it seems that the subsequent research didn't go well either."In the end, it seems to have stopped the research itself. "

Maybe you stumbled for the same reason as me.

So, did you solve it?

Yes.

With a nod, Crave turns over the material.

"... hmm? What? Can't you just hold this in your hand?"

“Yes, the roll is too hot to hold by hand when used.”

"Burned? You didn't wear protective gloves?"

"I tried using materials with poor thermal conductivity, but there was unevenness in the transmission of magic power, and things got worse as a result of the magic situation."It's hard to calculate. "

“And I need a device to use it safely.”

“The solution is this scroll (scroll) with a hand on the package.”

Huh.

"I was inspired by the fountain pen I made before.This is what a fountain pen is all about. "

Remove the fountain pen from the bag and give it to Crave.

After Clive tried to use it or disassemble it.

"Huh. This is handy."Can I have one? "

"There you go. There's more in the workshop than one."

This is also popular. Due to its affordable ease, this is probably the best selling product ever made in a workshop.

... the engraving has nothing to do with it.

So, [Magic Power Vapor] is generated here.

[Magic Vapor]?

"For convenience, I used a pseudonym."It is a force that is created when the magic circle is used to reduce the time of magic.And it turns out that this steam heat that comes out when you use a scroll has uses other than heat. ”

"Besides fever?"

What do you mean, direct energy, heat that can be diverted to magic?

"Hmm... is that magic?"

"To put it broadly, yes.Precisely, it was magic power [Magic Power Vapor].I was wondering if you could think of it as something a little different like magic power. "

“That's what happens. The question is, will it be the substance that conveys it?"

"Yes, uncle, you're right."Bite the magic silver between the scroll and yourself.It passes its magic power well.I will also use silver refining magic for each part so that magic power does not leak out. "

What will happen to the expansion of the Alchemy Silver?It's your research that inflates in response to magic.If you don't make it well, you'll be oppressed and break it from the inside. "

"That's the misunderstanding of this mechanism."It's a little deformation mechanism by putting alchemy silver inside that doesn't transfer magic power.We will also attempt to create openings to allow heat and unwanted magic vapors to escape, and to evacuate used rolls. ”

I see--nh?

Crave is thinking as she wrinkles between her brows and looks up at the ceiling.

Did you come up with an answer?

I was wondering, is this Magic Power Vapor used for magic?

After all, you noticed it there.

Yes.

So in short, you're using magic to create magic power, right?

"... I might be able to say that again."

”If you say that again, this isn't about efficiency... no, that's why you said it's double, not the reduction rate”

"Yes, that's why you said it was amazing this time.This does not eliminate the waste of magic, it is the use of magic through the amplification of magic power! "

――――

Crave is dumbfounded, dropping a cigar from her mouth.

However, I immediately picked it up again, poked my index finger out, and clung to my forehead.

"You, you, you!" You did it! "

"I did it! I did it!"It's a little different from what I was aiming for!It's going to be comparable to that! ”

"Increase your magic power!?"Do you know what that means!? "

"I know!" Besides, this is what I had to do! ”

While talking like that, she slightly dodged Clive's clenched attack with her index finger.

If it isn't a surprise, there's nothing wrong with it.

After a short break, Crave reads the plan again.

"...... I read it in the flush, but this is not suitable for mass production."

"Yes, you're right." Scrolls are disposable, and the money to build them is not stupid. ”

"Production costs money, and the ratio of magic power is different from the usual magic exercise."The user's level of training would also be necessary.Because there is a magic meter, this is not easy to use. "

If you're thinking about spreading it, the problem is piles.

Yes, there are scrolls and devices that use them.

The contents of the scroll need to be calculated, and the engraving technique is required to be written.

What I'm relieved of is that even if an outsider gets it, unlike a magic meter, I can't handle it.

"However, there is no doubt that this will contribute to the development of magic."How dare you! It's like hot water! "

"It's a big coincidence."Besides, my uncle, who created the magic of creation and became a national magician, said it. "

Well, I'm not alone in that either, am I?

Is that so?

"I'll tell you about it eventually."

When Crave says that, she closes the plan and puts it on the desk.

"And tell Godwald's old man."

Would you like to join the Guild Leader?

It's your decision about the announcement, but we need to make sure it's better than the possibility of applying for a budget.

Certainly, since there is a possibility of using the budget from the guild for development expenses, the report must be passed on.An opaque budget flow is punishable.

But I'm still not sure what to do with the announcement.I didn't mind publishing the magic meter, but I wanted to make this invention my own advantage.I struggled to make a theory, and I could see the realization.I think it's about my share and the servants' share.

The Kingdom allows research secrets to be kept secret, so there should be no punishment for not publishing them.

"I have an appointment to see my old man after this, so I don't mind telling you the truth, but what do you want me to do?"

"Then, please." Now, let's have this plan. "

I can't explain the details of the contents. You can do it again later.

"Yes. So, what about the one I asked you for..."

"It's a budget, a budget. Now, let's see..."

Okay, Noah, do it.

Yes.

Give Noah a strange order and serve him some schnapps.

How about this?

"It's a handicraft. It's not the work of a child who really came to beg."

Thank you very much, Uncle.

I bowed my head to ask for help, and then I looked up.

Then,

“All right, all right. I'll get you ready.And don't be so scruffy. It's too good for you. "

"Um......"

I've been told that.

●

... after Arkes returned from the Mansion, Claive was sent to the Demon Master Guild as originally planned.

Upon arrival, he immediately caught the guild leader, Godwald, and went to the "Black Room."

While checking to see if there were any people around, Bargius, who was smiling with a smile, entered the room in such a way that he could push the bewildered Godwald into the room.

"The Black Room." This is one of the rooms used for special meetings in the Mage Guild, and the room is soundproofed for confidential conversations.

Right now, in front of Crave, there's Bargius, as usual, and Godwald, who can't hide his sudden confusion.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Wasn't this conversation so important that I had to keep it quiet?"

"That's the plan, but that's not what I want to talk about right now - something terrible has happened."

What? I haven't heard the story of the Bad National Mages destroying buildings?

When Godwald showed a sinister face, he held down Bargius's mouth in a panic as if he was about to erupt from the side.

Of course, Crave had no choice but to bend her mouth to the letter.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.In the first place, it was before we became national mages.Please refill the steaming..... "

“That's my line.I didn't know you'd give me a break back then.One of them got angry without getting angry.It's just so annoying. "

That was in the past when Crave was having sex with Singles and Renault in King's Landing.

Godwald's voice is full of resentment from the hard work he received at that time.

"So? What the hell is that?"

"Here it is. Arks did it again."

When Crave says that and hands over the plan, Godwald goes deeper into shock.

"I wonder if it's Arks again... what the hell did that kid do this time?"What? The magic power amplification by the scroll (scroll) and its transmission mechanism? "

Godwald turns the pages of the plan paralyzed.As I turned from page to page, the expression gradually changed into something stunned.

"No, wait! this is....."

Milord, how are you doing?

"No, I didn't do anything!"... hey, Crave! "

"Just as I saw it."

When Claive answered with a smile, Godwald turned his gaze to ask Bargius if he could see it.

"Well, if it's Mr. Bargius, it's fine."But the others are strictly forbidden, right?I don't think you're thinking about making it public or making it public this time. "

"All right."

When I showed it to him, Bargius said, "This is..." and stared at me, exaggerating.

"... Clive, can you really do this?"Use magic exercises to amplify magic power, etc. "

"You came to me earlier and said with confidence, 'I've established the theory'."

"But...."

Didn't you want this one to make Arkes the National Mage?

”That's true... but I haven't even announced the producer of the magic meter (over there) yet.”

"You can't help it if you say that."I've come up with a theory, so what can I do?Are you telling me to come here and stop because of adult circumstances?That's too much to tease, isn't it?Even so, I've been pressuring him about his adult situation a lot. "

"No, it's not like that with me... but how much more can I increase?"

I don't know yet because it's said that the amount of amplification will change with individual magic, but I was told that the warfare ability will be quadrupled or quintupled.

"... I'm stunned. But did you really get so close?"

"He won't tell me until he's in shape.Rather, it's possible that you're still under-estimating it. "

Godwald listens to Crave and looks up at the ceiling in the black room.

Certainly, Godwald was looking forward to researching how to increase the magic power of the Arks.

But I thought it was like looking at it over a longer period of time, in units of ten years.

I never thought it would reach a place close to it so quickly.

It is slightly different from the original [Increase Magic Power], but it may be said to be similar.

"What the hell is going on inside that child's head..."

"I want to hear it." Well, this time, you said that there was a lot of magic silver and there was magic power and magic silver.That's why this invention didn't just fly that far... no, it's weird at a time when it's about to take shape.It's the same with [Akon], but I often come up with such strange things. "

Neither Godwald nor Bargius spoke, so the room calmed down.

That's all, what Arkes made was shocking.

"That's right, old man, take a bite."

"Are you talking about money?"

Instant cash seems a bit suspicious because we spend money on developing and experimenting in the workshop.

"That's it? I'm sure we've got enough money."

"Well, there it is, the [akon] we wanted so badly seems to be the cause of the budget pressure."He's applying for a budget, but he can't wait. "

"... um, yes, I see. I see.I'll get your hands on it as soon as I can.

So? How about a bite?

"All right, Bargius."

"I'll briefly say that, but there is a limit to the old-age expenses..."

"It's not an old-age fee, it's my passion.Don't tell me you know that, too. "

Got it.

Bargius is laughing "cheek, cheek".Apparently, it was back to normal.

"He's going to talk to me, too, so I want you to make time for him when the time comes."

“Okay. Oh, my God. We need to be careful about the information leaks from that workshop again.”

Arx's workshop is now a very secret treasure trove within the Mage Guild.Not only foreign spies, but also domestic spies must be careful, so full of ridiculous information.

Godwald was making a smile on his mouth while making plans for security strengthening and relocation.

"That's the face of a bad guy when he's plotting something bad."

"Shut up. Don't say it to the guy who brought you the bad stuff."

●

○Month x Day

It was not long before Suu visited the mansion.

Therefore, she boasted about the vacuum tube and switching mechanism she had invented.

She's a fan of magic and new things.I thought it was going to gnaw at me like it was on a magic meter...... but the unexpected reaction wasn't good.

“I know it's funny, but what's the use of this?”

You say that with a subtle look on your face.

She doesn't know how great this invention is.

In that man's world, this was the first step of a great invention.

After she left, I complained about it to Noah.

"Lady Arkes. Recently, your words and deeds have become mysterious."I think my invention is great or a genius. "

I was told such a thing on my face.

“Get a good night's sleep.I'm too excited for anything.Even if it's not, there's something that happened before.... "

What did you mean by the previous incident?Speaking of which, after we talked about fairy tales, Noah and Kazuy became very attentive to me, but did they have anything to do with it?

But even that man had about this much sleep time before he took the college entrance exam.

"Oh my God, I remember what I said later, and I see my feet crashing on the bed, and I regret it."

That's not true.

"Damn, now that mechanism is going to work..."

This is it.

This is it.

Three people, and turn a blind eye to the improved mechanism.

And the scrolls are loaded with gacha, gacha.Demonstrate rough movements.

Here, here's how it goes.

…………

"Amazing, right? This is how the top slides into the medicine room (chamber) and slides out again after use..."

"Yeah..."

"Well, I guess..."

……

The two of them are, for some reason, unresponsive.

I made it into a cartridge with a cool blowback at the corner, but for some reason it doesn't react well.

"I made it a cartridge type..."

(... oh? Maybe this didn't have to be cartridge-like...)

All of a sudden, I think of a fact I shouldn't have noticed.

When I came up with this, I thought it was really a tremendous scripture, but if I think about it carefully, I think I didn't have to force it like this.

Noah, as if to speak on his behalf.

"Um, Mr. Arks, I've been wondering about this for a while..."

"Noah! Don't say it! Don't say it again!"

"... but..."

"Look! Cool is first and foremost!"If you don't look cool, you don't think you're strong!?That's why it's okay! This is it!

We've come to a point where we can't pull back anymore.If you change the shape here, the design will start over again from scratch.That's all I want to avoid financially.

... I couldn't deny that it was perhaps inappropriate, but I couldn't admit it.
