Chapter 7 [Power of Magic]

魔法の力

Part 1

「And this is the flight magic, Diehart-sama」

Is what Rugaas is saying to me while I am floating in the middle of the room.

This event is happening early afternoon a day after my fight against Reiji. I’m currently receiving Rugaas’s lecture about magic in a room within the demon king castle.

I received great praises from Modes after my battle against Reiji.

My current status in Nargol is second only to Modes.

I’m okay with receiving his gratitude, but I wanted to be pardoned from being embraced by him while telling me「Oh my best friend~」.

But I have to wait for a while for the reward regarding this matter. It can’t be helped that I have to wait in order to get the reward.

According to Modes, I can’t go back to the earth with the summoning magic that was used to summon me; it seems that I’ll be either stranded in the dimension gap or transported to a world which is different from earth. Therefore, the magic needed to go back ought to be a different one.

Unfortunately, Modes wasn’t well versed in this kind of magic in spite of being the one who summoned me.

Modes gave his promise to find a safe way to send me back.

Elios might have the method to send me back, right?

When I inquired about that matter.

Modes told me that the possibility for that is quite low.

Though I don’t know where his self-confidence for that remark is coming from, I can feel that it is from a reliable source.

Though it’ll be a different story if Modes is lying to me. For reasons such as “we won’t send you back unless you beat the hero”.

But, I don’t think that Modes is lying. It’s too much of a roundabout way of lying if he wants me to fight the hero.

Moreover, I think Modes isn’t the kind of person(?) who will say such things.

I think as such on looking at a “Deredere” Modes when he has a conversation with Mona.

I think the two of them will still be a bakaple even if the woman isn’t Mona. [TL : Baka Couple]

If that’s the case, what is the reason for this fight?

For Elios to forcibly summon someone from another world in spite of having no way to send them back to their original world.

Though I think that Reiji was seduced by that beautiful goddess, I don’t know the reason for the other girls to join this fight.

I think Reiji and the others want to go back too.

By the way, I heard they managed to save Reiji this afternoon.

I felt relieved on hearing that news. Since, in fact, I never had any intention nor did I try to kill Reiji. I don’t think that Reiji is detestable to the point that he deserves to die.

The relieved me then received lessons regarding these magic things, this world, and the nargol from Rugaas.

I need all information irrespective of how insignificant it is.

The old man with a horn growing from his head and pointed ears in front of me was apparently the wisest sage and the prime minister of this Nargol. By right, he should do government work for Nargol and have no need to to do something like teaching me, but let alone doing that, it seems that he was ecstatic when I asked him to become my teacher.

And then, currently I’m receiving his lessons about magic.

「…It seems that there’s no problem with your flight magic. But, please be very careful, you’re in a defenseless state when using this magic since you basically cannot use another magic when using this one. You must not become the prey for arrows…」

I create a small black fire ball on my index finger while floating in the air.

「…Though I’m telling you about the necessary precautions, it seems that my worry is baseless for lord Diehart.」

Rugaas told me that with amazed expression.

Guessing from Rugaas’s tone, it seems that using two magic at once is quite hardcore.

「You and the hero, the people of another world are truly enigmatic. Honestly speaking, even a normal human needs long and arduous training just to master the flight magic… Lord Diehart is also the same as the comrades of the hero since they can use high-ranking magic too.」

By saying so, it seems that Reiji and the others are also capable of using high-ranking magic so easily, which normally can’t be used without long training, as soon as they arrived to this world.

And then, it seems that they are similarly capable of using high-ranking magic as me too. If one were to ask the reason for such ease, to be honest, I don’t know.

I cancel my flight magic and then descend to the ground.

「And then, it’s about that black flame. Lord Runfeld and your majesty the king is supposed to be the only one who can use that flame and yet, lord Diehart can use it too. But, you’re very interesting, lord Diehart, you can use the black flame so easily despite being unable to use any normal fire magic… To tell the truth, it should be the opposite of that you know」

Rugaas is waving his head as if he couldn’t believe what he saw.

「But, it’ll be inconvenient since you can’t use normal flame with your own magical power. Well then, now let’s try to use fire magic with spirit of fire.」

Rugaas’s muttering something while seemingly pondering about something. Thereupon, a book suddenly appearing on hands of Rugaas.

「Now, let’s try to use spirit magic. Please be careful since this magic is different from the other magic skills that I taught so far」

I recalled a little about that magic before receiving the teaching from Rugaas.

It seems that this world has two major systems of magic, the magic that originates from one’s own self, and magic that originates from external source. It seems that flight magic is the former and the spirit magic is the later.

The spirit magic is a wish of one’s own to use magic and the invisible spirit by means of communication, in other words, a magic to hear the user’s wish. But, one must have a high mutual understanding with the spirits if they are to use this spirit magic.

The mutual understanding by means of magic is something that resembles a telepathy; they, who can’t understand each other words would gain mutual understanding by means of magic. It seems that I can use this mutual understanding by means of magic automatically since I can have a conversation with Modes who doesn’t understand Japanese language. In fact, it’s not a conversation with words, it was a conversation in which one triggers magic during conversation.

It seems that this magic can be learned easily as long as someone has sufficient intelligence to communicate with words, but it seems one needs an even higher knowledge to have a mutual understanding with magic beast or spirit who is not communicating with words and then, I’m also told that even someone with high magical power can’t use spirit magic unless one’s mutual understanding of magic is high enough.

「O FIRE SPIRIT IN THE AIR, HEAR MY WISH!! ! 」[TL : CRITICAL HIT]

Thereupon, a small flame formed on the fingertips of Rugaas.

And then, it left his index finger as it is. The little flame remains as such even after leaving his index finger.

And just like that, Rugaas is maintaining the little flame in the air. When he repeated his action for the tenth time, the fire is extinguished.

「Please try to do it like me」

I mutter the same words as Rugaas.

「Uhm… O SPIRIT OF FIRE IN THE AIR, HEAR MY WORDS!! ! 」

I mutter the same words as Rugaas while making my index finger to point up. Thereupon, the flame that was forming on my index finger suddenly ran away from my index finger to the separated room.

「UWAAA!! ! 」

I avoided that flame in panic. And just like that, the flame vanished after running around in this room and then crashing on the wall.

「My apologies, Rugaas-dono!! ! 」

I’m bowing to Rugaas.

「Dear me, it would have been a mess if I had not set a defensive magic in this room beforehand. It seems that you can’t use spirit magic very well」

Rugaas is saying so with an expression of great interest.
