Vol 2 Chapter 12.1 (2/2)

Of course… I knew…

Because I could see a pendant giving off a rainbow hue around Marita’s chest.

Aah… As to why there was no contact for days, I was able to guess she would call me for the words of invocation when the jewellery was ready.

「Well then… Should I have you teach me? I like this lovely rainbow color, so it’s fine as it is.」

「Marita sama, it wouldn’t be able to be used for self defense in that case.」

「…I get it…」

Since I was inadvertently thorough in this regard, I decided to obediently teach her the words of invocation.

I was feeling really embarra.s.sed. In this world where magic exists, am I the only who feels embarra.s.sed?

「Doesn’t it sound a bit odd? Sympho――――」

「You don’t have to say it.」

「…Would it invoke even if i didn’t say it? Unless I chant to invoke it…」

「No, there’s no such meaning to it.」

I forcibly interrupted the words that were about to come out of Marita’s mouth.

「Umm, what kind of magic is this?」

「I… can use Origin Magic… You can think of it as an offensive magic that I use.」

Upon hearing it, the two were speechless――not. They nodded in an 「I see…」 manner.

Huh…? Their reaction was weaker than I expected…

Shouldn’t it be a bit more?

「Don’t misunderstand, I’m quite surprised. Those who can use Origin Magic are rare. Rare even amongst those who hold apt.i.tude for magic. However, I have heard that it takes more time to improve Origin Magic compared to other magic owing to creating composite elements. Therefore…」

Worried that I would be feeling dejected, Logins-san cut in and followed up.

It was unusual, though. Isn’t Origin Magic recognized as superior to all?

Origin Magic was indeed more difficult to level up than other skills.

If I were ordinary, would I be no more than Lv3 even after becoming a grandpa? I would cry.

「Therefore, how much power do you reckon is inside? To shatter the White Magic Crystal processed into the hair ornament, the strength of magic was indeed great. However…」

Marita held the pendant up and asked while peeking inside.

To be exact… The magic I loaded into the hair ornament was 《Light of Healing (Light Healing)》…

「It has… reasonable power…」

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this rainbow light-ball was comparable to a Lv3 magic in itself.

That aside…

I had to tell Marita something. Something very important.

「Err, yeah. There’s one thing I want to say.」

「What is it?」

「The White Magic Crystal in that hair ornament 『didn’t break』――――I 『broke』 it.」

「…………」

「…………」
