Arcs, who completed the magic gauge, visited Crave's Mansion the next day.

The guards of the Arvent Mansion will take care of him, as they did before, and they will rush to Crave immediately.

It's not that I didn't think about his annoyance, but this result outweighs it.

Seeing him hurry, he jumped his surprised servant into the room where his uncle was.

"Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle!!

"... Arcs, did you stay up late again?You're getting too excited.

Of course, Crave looked stunned when he saw it.I was just hearing from a servant that I was coming, and I wasn't really surprised.

"Um, do you have a moment!?

I'm going to do it, but I don't mind if I do it a little bit.Just calm down a little before you do that. "

Follow Crave's words and take a deep breath to calm you down.

As calm thinking returned, I could not afford to look around.

... there are three servants in the room, including myself and Crave.

"Well, may I ask you to pay somebody for it?

"I don't know... what the hell?"

Crave waves his hands appropriately and scatters his servants out of the room.

I checked that there was no one around and removed the sample from the bag.

Uncle, look at this.

"This is the glass tube I sent you the other day... hmm?It's like a ruler scale... did you put something in it?

"Look at that.If you create magic nearby like this, the magic silver inside... "

"Huh? Don't move.But it's not much fun to use as a new toy... hey, wait!Graduation!

That's Crave. I noticed something right away.

Looking at his stunned expression in astonishment, he creates a frown.

Against such a self, Crave kept his hands shaken with a magic gauge.

"... what's wrong with you, this?"

"Last time, I happened to be able to turn magic silver into a substance that expands in response to magic, so I came up with this."

"No, I've got it...."

"It really happened by chance."

The thermometer was conceived because of a man's knowledge of the world, but it was a real coincidence about the perversion of magic silver.Sometimes it's because of Risha.

Anyway, now that it's Crave's turn to calm down, sit tight on the sofa and wait a bit.

Eventually, Crave breathed out as if he had swallowed the situation.

And you look as serious as you've ever seen before.

"... Arcs, did you tell anyone but me about this?

"No, just my uncle.Because things are things. "

I see. It's a good decision, including the payment you just made. "

The concern disappeared and the tension diminished, but the smile returned slightly to Crave's face.

"You, this is a huge discovery.

"Isn't that right? There is no place in the world where magic can be accurately measured, right?

"Oh, at least I didn't have that in the country I was in, and I'm sure I don't have it now.Even so, a measuring instrument capable of measuring magic.... "

"Now you will learn the magic."

"That's true.With this, the amount of magic you can put in words is easy to understand. "

Crave once puts the magic gauge on the glass table and turns his face into something serious.

"Before we talk about how we made this,First of all, I have to ask you something.What do you want to do with this?

"That's right...."

Of course, the main goal is to be able to use a lot of magic… that's not what Crave is asking.

"... I'm not going to monopolize this on my own.I think we need to look at the timing, but I think we should announce it in a proper way. "

"Are you sure? You can make a big difference to the others if you just leave it to yourself?

"No, somebody will know if they have it, and they will definitely want it.In that case, rather than being jealous of monopoly, it would be better for you to announce it and get it for... fame or money, for yourself or for your country. "

Yes, monopoly is certainly fascinating.Crave is right, if you have this, you can make a big difference to other magicians, and you can immerse yourself in the superiority that makes that difference.

However, this could destroy the beneficial benefits of spreading the existence of magic meters and opportunities for the development of magic technology.

In that case, there should be more disadvantages than the benefits of monopolization.

The amount of magic you can put in will be understood as long as you have time. In the first place, it is a sense of producing spells to determine the superiority and disadvantage of being a magician. Therefore, when we let go of the superiority of measuring magic, it doesn't hurt or itch.

In the first place, I thought my uncle would tell me this story.

"... I didn't have to say that.Ah, you're right ahead. "

Crave strokes his head violently.

After all, were you going to say it?

"Arcs, you know, don't tell anybody about the Magic Meter yet.After everything is ready before the announcement. "

"Um, what do I show my friends...?

"... well, if you're the only one who can be trusted not to talk nonsense."

Crave and I said, "Did you have a friend?"" I'm here, that much... "

"The rest... for Lisa, too.You might want to let him know, but just in case.Why... do you understand?

"... uhh, yes"

Yes, I can't tell you that it's not possible to pass it on to my parents via Risha.And after that, those hairy people.This discovery may also be forcibly taken away.

But Crave is more vigilant about Joshua and Celine than I thought.

I thought it would be a convenient time to visit Rayseft's Mansion, but is the ditch really deep?

And then Crave looks like he's lonely somewhere.

"... you wouldn't be surprised, but Joshua's a pretty shy guy, and I hate him if he's better at magic than I am."

Really?I thought he looked down on someone with a low magic arm. "

"... you're quite relentless, too."

"I don't think he's my father anymore."

At that time, when Joshua beat him with eight hits, he already lost his parent-child affection.

"But how did you end up like this when you were chosen to take over the House of Rayseft?

"Even though I was chosen... the opposite is true.The legacy of the House of Rayseft, the magic fame, became his obsession, so he became excessively hostile to them. "

In other words, is it a complex in the man's world?

I am not familiar with Joshua's skill as a magician, but perhaps because he did not match the pressure of the prestigious leader, his personality was distorted.

"If it stays the same, it's still good.But when I came back, there was an extra rush. "

"My uncle is above you?

"Well, I said it myself, but I traveled to other countries and returned to them much stronger than before.Moreover, when I returned, I became a state-appointed magician who could not become him, and my position in the national army and as a magician became higher.In the end, the words of the dying oaf. "

"Is it your grandfather's?

"It was a mistake to take you down..."

"Wow...."

Tough. You chose yourself, and you overturned it by saying it was a failure.

I don't think I can handle this.

"I'm sure Joshua had a lot of expectations about her child's talents.If a child's abilities are high, it will lead to self-esteem.If that's what I was expecting.... "

And Crave said, "You know what that means?Continue saying:

In short, because Joshua had a complex that was strong in his abilities, he didn't recognize himself as his son, who was less talented.

That's why the wind is so strong.For a long time, I thought it was unnatural to hate anything so much, even if obsolescence was the rule of the house.

However, if such a reason is indeed rooted, I nod as if I hate it.

What to resent is the grandfather who left behind the curse... No, in any case, the result may not change.

With that in mind, Crave lay down his eyes as if he were sorry.

"That's why you're struggling because of me."

"No, that's not true....."

"No, it's my fault.It doesn't matter how you fix it. "

Was Crave disappointed in it?Perhaps that's why you took pleasure in teaching me magic.

And was this confession his own confession?

But...

"Oh, uncle, I've always looked after you!

Yes, if it is true that my uncle's return is part of the cause, it is an indisputable fact that he is taken care of in this way.It was because Crave took care of me that I could remember magic properly, and because he was controlling my parents that I didn't have to live a miserable life.

Saying that without a word, Crave exhales somewhere reassuring.

"... I see.Well, that sounds a little good. "

And then Crave started smoking the cigars he had.Is it a cover or do you miss it?Looking at the purple smoke sucked into the ceiling, he threw his body large on the sofa where he was sitting.

When you wait long enough to finish smoking a cigar, Crave's gaze returns to the Magic Meter.

"... anyway, you're nothing.Not at all. "

My family's story faded, but it seems that my excitement gradually returned.

Even though I said it with a stupid voice, my face is not completely hidden.

"I still need to talk to you about this, so if you'll excuse me...."

I see.

Crave rang the bell and called for a servant.

And whoever comes in,

"Ah, I'm sorry, but I have a very important appointment for today, so I'm going to call it off.Please let me know. "

The servant nodded to it and lowered his head and left the room.

... I've had a lot of discussions with Crave.

It is also necessary to get advice on production, such as how much to make, from stories such as the process of producing the magic meter.

Afterwards, I spent the whole day talking about making magic meters, such as packing up the details with Crave and going to meet glassmakers involved in making them.
