Chapter 68 It Seems that I will be its Patent Holder (1/2)

There are only two days left until the Sacred Tree Festival. We’re planning to head there the day before it starts, so we’ll be leaving for the Elf Forest tomorrow.

The Elven Forest seems to be an extremely lush place, and since this is the first time I’m going out of Symphonia’s royal capital, I’m really looking forward to that trip.

I was also able to get Kuro to teach me some new magic, a means of self-defense that I had been thinking about for some time, so I guess I would be able to protect myself when I need to…… right?

[Unnn. I think it’s starting to take form but…… Kaito-kun, using this magic too much is no good, okay? It has a heavy burden on your body, after all. Well, I guess you’re already feeling it now……]

[……my whole body hurts.]

[See that? I’m gonna cast Recovery Magic on you, so stay put.]

I’ve learned a new magic, and as a result of that…… I’ve been lying on the floor with painful muscle ache all over my body, and seeing me like that, Kuro wryly smiles before casting Recovery Magic on me.

After a warm light envelops my body, the numbing pain in my body eases.

The magic that Kuro taught me is a combat-oriented magic that’s making use of my Sympathy Magic, though it’s also the type that has a backlash, and since the me who doesn’t have that much magic power can’t use it for a long time, it’s really a magic that I could only in emergencies.

However, it’s a magic that fulfills the demands I have in mind,and it has made a moderately amusing effect…… Well, I just hope I won’t have to use it but……

[Speaking of which, I had something to ask, Kuro.]

[Unnn?]

[Is there a magic tool in this world that acts like the machine in my world called calculator?]

[Kalkulator? What kind of teknolojikal mashin is that?]

It seems that calculators haven’t been passed down by previous people who held the role of Hero, so I go on to explain what a calculator is to Kuro.

I wondered for a moment why they’ve passed down mayonnaise and stuff like that but not the calculator, but thinking about it, it has never occurred to me until I saw Lilia-san struggling with her calculations.

The reason is that as soon as I came to this world, I entrusted my technological items to them, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I had a preconceived notion that technological items are no good in this world, and I didn’t think that it would be possible to recreate that with magic tools because I didn’t know that magic tools can be made individually.

The previous people who held the role of Hero probably also had the same preconceptions. And most importantly, I heard that unlike me, that guy who’s holding the role of Hero is rather busy.

They are traveling around the world in a year to give speeches, so they would be more conscious about the food and clothing around them, and compared to the books and other forms of entertainment they may encounter on their travels, I think it’s almost impossible to get involved in anything related to accounting.

Thinking about this, I told Kuro about the calculator and asked her if there was something similar here. If one doesn’t exist, I also asked her if it’s possible to recreate it.

[……Is that something Kaito-kun thought of?]

[Eh? No, it was just a common tool back in my world.]

[……………………]

After she finished listening to my explanation, Kuro looked quite surprised at first, then, she put her hand on her chin and began thinking for a while.

[……I think that can be recreated. However, that’s something I never thought about. It’s true that if you record the formula, you would be able to calculate it in an instant but……]

[But?]

[I didn’t think about that at all. Magic and math are two different things, and the idea of using magic to support calculation never entered my thought. Now that you mentioned it, I was just thinking why I hadn’t thought of that before.]

Now that she mentioned it, I think I can somewhat understand.

The technological machines we use back in our world…… were products made by science, and in a sense, connected with mathematics right from the start.

However, the magic in this world is a separate entity from science, and it seems like they had no idea of connecting it with mathematics.

In that sense, the person who made the first calculator and the computers must have been a real genius……

Kuro became silent again for a while, and after taking out a piece of paper and pen, she began writing something on it.

After she’s done, her black coat spreads out like a curtain and she calls out to it.

[Sechs, you there?]

[What’s the matter? Oya? Isn’t this Miyama-dono? It’s been a while.]

[It’s been a long time, Sechs-san.]

From behind her coat, Sechs -san appeared, wearing a mask that looked like some tribe might be used in a ritual, and even though we’ve met before, I was still surprised when a bony hand appeared.

As I recall, from what I heard when I met him before, he usually wears a ceremonial mask to make it easier to distinguish him from other liches.

It’s certainly easy to distinguish him, but this makes it look like he’s at a carnival. Well, if that’s his personal hobby, that’s not something I will interfere with.

After exchanging a brief greeting with Sechs-san when he appeared, Kuro handed Sechs-san the piece of paper she had just written on.
