In regards to the magic representing the different world, what Lilia-san said and what Kuro just said doesn’t sh with each other. Lilia-san said that magic was difficult to learn and would take as long as a month to learn, if you’re a fast learner. On the other hand, Kuro said it could be learned in just a few days. It didn’t seem like either of them was lying but……
[Kaito-kun, do you mind if I look through that book for a minute?]
[Eh? Yeah.]
I’m not sure if Kuro had similar doubts, but she wanted to see the introductory book I had. I didn’t have any particular reason to refuse, so I handed her the book, and Kuro flipped through it.
[Ah, I see~ This is how we used to teach the Humans magic…… With this thod, it would definitely take so ti to learn magic.]
[Does that an that the thod that the Humans are using to study magic is wrong?]
[Unnn? No, I think it’s very well done. It’s just this is the thod to raise soone into a “magician who can make magic tools” or sothing like that? It’s like, you also have to study the theories accompanied by magic, so I think you’d surely take a long ti to learn with that~]
[Unnn? Wait, I don’t understand what you an by that……]
Kuro seems to be convinced of sothing, but I honestly didn’t understand. Thereupon, Kuro closes the book and gives a charming smile before explaining.
[If all you have to do is invoke magic, all you have to is understand the feeling of moving magic power…… For example—–]
[Whoa…… The book is floating.]
[Unnn. I just used magic to make it float, but for this level of magic, regardless of whether you’re a human or a demon, if you can make your magic power move, you can do it just by imagining it. But if you want to make a magic tool that can do the sa thing,, it would get a little more complicated.]
[Fumu fumu.]
[A magic tool is a magic formula that’s written on the magic crystal, so if you try to do the sa thing…… You need to know the thod to specify a target, the thod to levitate the target, the thod to adjust the height, and the thod to switch between activation and deactivation—– I guess it will look sothing like this?]
With Kuro’s explanation, many lines of glowing letters appeared in the air and ford into a magic circle. Seeing that happen, it sohow looks magical.
[That’s the difference between using magic based on intuition and using magic based on theories. Look, even Kaito-kun thinks that moving your hands is easy, right? However, don’t you think it would be hard to write down those principles into a theory?]
[……I see, it’s certainly as you say……]
[For us demons, being able to use basic magic is normal, and soone would only feel like studying it when you want to beco a magic tool creator or use more complicated and powerful magic…… I’m guessing that for the human race, they felt that a child who could use magic should be equal to soone who can make magic tools. And that’s why they’re making you study the theories accompanied by magic~ That seriousness really is like the human race.]
I see, Kuro’s explanation is easy to understand. I think it’s also clear that humans have a complicated way of thinking.
In that case, I guess it’s not a question of which is the right answer as it’s a cultural difference. As Lilia-san said earlier, for the human race, being able to use magic would be a professional in their profession for a human. But for the demons, it’s already a give that they can use magic and only those researcher types who study it in-depth feel like professionals.
[Well, studying this isn’t a waste of ti. You will need a solid theoretical knowledge if you want to use higher-level magic. You’re also part of the human race, the people who are good at making detailed theories and by morizing this, I think you’ll be able to make magic tools~]
[Hmmm. However, there’s a part of that can’t wait to try my hand at magic.]
[Then, do you want to teach you?]
[Eh?]
I know that the theory is important, but I’m in a different world and I have a strong desire to use magic. Unless I’m thinking of making a magic tool, when I heard that I would be able to use simple magic in just a short ti, I can’t help but be inclined towards it.
As I was thinking about this, Kuro suggested with a smile on his face.
[You can just study the theoretical stuff from stuff like that book while I teach you about the intuitive stuff. Even though I may not seem like it, I think I can use magic quite well.]
[……Is that alright?]
To be honest, that’s a very appreciated offer, but there’s a part of that feels fearful at the sa ti. Kuro is probably… no, I’m pretty sure that Kuro is soone who knows a great deal about magic. Or at least, she’s one of the most outstanding among the people I know in this other world. Taking various things out of her coat, she could create sothing like that magic tool that searches for people you’re thinking about, even soaring in the sky, she seems like she’s at a level where there’s nothing she can’t do.
[It’s alright~ I like you, Kaito-kun, and if there’s sothing I can teach you, I’ll teach you.]
(T/N: the like used here is the like for “pleased”, kinitteru. not “suki”.)
[T- Thank you.]
A smile that’s filled with straightforward goodwill, without hiding anything. I don’t know what it is about that made her like so much, but she’s treating really well. Of course, I felt like I’m being pushed around most of the ti, but there’s a part of that feels strangely feels at ease while talking with Kuro.
Well, how should I say this, I’m also a guy…… Although her actual age is much older than her looks, I still get embarrassed when a lovely beauty directs such straightforward goodwill to .
But at the sa ti, I began to question myself. Am I actually a lolicon? Then, a strange fear erged. N- No, that’s not it! I’m not a lolicon, you know!? I’m just confused because I’ve always been alone and never experienced having soone emotionally attached like this to before!!
Kuro, unaware of my emotional turmoil, begins to instruct with the usual smile on her face.
[Now then, the first step would be the basics of the basics. It’s how to handle magic power. Do you know what magic power feels like, Kaito-kun?]
[No, I don’t know.]
[Unn, well, you’ve lived in a world that has never had anything to do with magic before, so it’s not strange. Then, here—-]
[!?]
With her exclamation, Kuro spun her finger in front of . My body suddenly got enveloped in a faint light and I felt a gentle warmth around my body.
[I wrapped Kaito-kun’s body with the magic power that I made visible but…… How does it feel?]
[Hmmm. It feels like soaking in lukewarm water…… It feels warm?]
[Unnn. That feeling is important. That’s the basic state of using magic. Today, let’s just feel around it a little and try to rember exactly what magic power feels like!]
Dear Mother, Father—– I have a magic teacher in a different world. However—- I’m not a lolicon.
Let’s go back in ti for a bit, to a certain building in the Demon Realm.
While Kuromueina leisurely watching the demons celebrating the New Year, a demon wearing a ceremonial mask made of bones and feathers approached her.
[Kuromu-sama, you have received an invitation from the Symphonia Kingdom.]
[Unnn? Invitation…… for what?]
Throwing a baby castella into her mouth, Kuromueina looked back with a heartfelt curiosity.
[It seems to be an invitation for a party celebrating the New Year. Perhaps, it also serves as an introduction to the person who holds the role Hero this year……]
[New Year? ……Why did they just send it to this year? When was the last ti I went out again?]
[No, I don’t think that’s it. It’s probably because Kuromu-sama visited the King not long ago?]
Kuromueina is a demon, and so, she basically spends her New Year in the sa format as the Demon Realm. As a result, she has never participated in any of the parties that the humans hold on the fourth day of the New Year in various countries, and even the Human Realm understands that they have never sent an invitation.
However, this year, they have unusually sent an invitation, and the masked demon said that the reason was probably due to her visit to the castle the other day at the request of the King of Symphonia.
[……I only went there because I happened to be in the neighborhood~]
[Ah, by the way, you went to buy so jam, didn’t you? Did you get a good one?]
[Unn, it’s very sweet and goes well with baby castellas.]
[Hohou… That’s good to hear.]
Hearing the happiness from Kuromueina’s words, the masked demon repeatedly nodded as if he was pleased himself.
[……And so, how should we reply?]
[I’m not interested, so tell them we’re not coming~]
[Hahaha, I should have known.]
Thereupon, sending just a glance at the extravagant invitation stamped with the seal of the King of Symphonia that they sent once again, Kuromueina simply stated that she isn’t interested. It seems that the masked demon knew that this would be her reply that he just nodded without any questions asked.
[However, just in case, couldn’t you see the person acting the role of the hero this year?]
[I don’t think I’d be interested in the one acting the role of the hero this year~ I’ve also found my “favorite” child……]
[Oya oya, my my…… It seems that Kuromu-sama’s extrely lucky to have found this person.]
[Yeah, that’s right! It has truly been a long ti! I felt that spark just at first sight~ I feel like it’s fate!]
The expression of disinterest on her face just now has changed, Kuromueina now have a big smile on her face. As if he likes the person in front of him so much, The masked demon happily looked at Kuromueina, who’s clearly in a good mood.
[Well then, I’ll reply that Kuromu-sama isn’t attending.]
[Unnn, yeah. I’m just really engrossed with this child right now, so I’m not interested in anything else.]
[As Kuromu-sama wishes……]
[Ah, also…… Can you write a letter to “Shiro”?]
[To “Shallow Vernal”-sama, is it? I respectfully obey, what would you like to write?]
(T/N: シャローヴァナル / sharowvuanaru)
Hearing the na that Kuromueina had ntioned, the masked demon looked a little surprised. There was only one person that Kuromueina would call by that nickna. She’s such an existence that she especially calls with a nickna, but for the masked demon, she’s at least an existence higher than the clouds.
[Just keep it simple~ If it’s Shiro, I think she’d understand even if you just say “Please give Kaito-kun your blessings~”.]
[……I respectfully obey.]
The masked demon nodded his head, but he’s inwardly surprised at the contents of what Kuromueina just said.
At the sa ti, Kuromueina, who was lying on a luxurious sofa, vigorously sprung up.
[Hah!? I feel like Kaito-kun is calling ! I’m going out for a bit~]
[Eh? Ah, yes. Have a good day……]
Quickly saying her goodbyes, Kuromueina was engulfed in a deep-black glow and disappeared, leaving the masked demon who’s sowhat confused in that place.
A little while later, a knight wearing jet-black armor approaches the masked demon.
[Oya? Where’s Kuromu-sama?]
[Oh, “Neun”-dono…… I was told that she felt Kaito-kun calling her……]
(T/N: ノイン)
[Kaito-kun? Ah, the otherworlder who has beco Kuromu-sama’s favorite.]
Hearing the words of the dumbfounded masked demon, the knight in jet-black armor called Neun nodded in agreent.
[Good gracious, she really seems to like him…… She’s even requesting for Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessings……]
[Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessings!? That’s another terrific person for her to ask for requests. I don’t know if I should say that it’s to be expected from Kuromu-sama……]
[It would also beco extrely difficult for the otherworlder……]
[……Well, as soon as Kuromu-sama likes you have also decided your fate of being pushed around by her…… That’s “also what happened to ”, after all……]
Unbeknownst to the person himself, his outer moat is already being trendously filled up, while the masked demon and Neun could let out a sigh of sympathy for the favored human…… He will be pushed around by their “lord” who has been wearing the words “unrestrained freedom”, and they could only imagine what his future may be……
