74-064 Magic Bag Evolved (1/2)

The rain that started yesterday afternoon is still falling today.

Inevitably, today's work is cancelled, and each of us will be training in our own rooms.

I, Yuki, and Haruka are training in magic and alchemy, as usual. Natsuki is embroidering a magic circle.

Toya, the only one with nothing to do, had been lounging around in bed for a while, but just now he ran outside shouting, ”Rainy day training! and ran out of the house. We didn't say anything, but he couldn't stand the fact that he was the only one not doing anything.

Normally I would be worried about a cold, but I'm sure [Robust Lv.4] will do the job.

I'm hoping to successfully activate Light Weight and Extended Space today.

”I've been able to activate them more consistently, so I think I can handle it.

I hope so.

Fortunately, the addition to the magic bag itself can be practiced as many times as you want by releasing the magic power contained in the magic circle.

If you just write on it with ink, it seems to deteriorate as you repeatedly add and release it, but perhaps it's because of the embroidery, but so far I haven't seen any signs of deterioration.

Still, I have been practicing with an ordinary jute bag instead of a backpack. And it is Natsuki who is supporting me.

While Haruka is doing additional work as an alchemist and Yuki and I are using space-time magic, Natsuki is doing the work.

I think we're about halfway there.

The addition of magic is completed by using the magic, maintaining it just before it is activated, and then pouring the magic into it.

The bottleneck is the maintenance part of the spell. If you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to make a lot of money.

It's a bit pathetic, because Halka seems to be taking it pretty well.

I'll try a smaller one.　If we make the magic circle smaller, we can reduce the time it takes to pour.

Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right, does it ......?

It's not just about the size of the bag, it's about the amount of magic you can put into it.

In other words, if you prepare a small bag and a small magic circle, you only need to maintain the magic for a short time to complete the granting.

However, I have a feeling that the reason for my failure is not due to a simple maintenance problem. It's almost like a hunch.

However, I don't really know what it is. It's just a hunch.

”Hey, Nao, did you read this part?

”Hmm?　It's a grimoire of space-time magic, bottom volume?　I've only skimmed it.

Yuki held out the grimoire of space-time magic, bottom volume.

I don't even fully understand the upper volume yet.

I've only looked at the lower volume to see what kind of magic is in it.

”Then read here.

”What's that?” ...... ”Column: Is Space-Time Magic Profitable? . Hey, what's this about?

I'll just read it.

Oh, my God, .......

I protested to Yuki about the title, which was a bit lighter than I expected, but she strongly told me to read it, so I decided to read it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Hey there, readers. I've been working on this for a while now.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

I know how you feel. Space-time magic is more difficult to learn and use than other types of magic.

Fire magic is easy to figure out, boom, boom, boom. In addition, you can sell ice in the summer and earn money easily, so you'll be safe forever.

Earth magic is also a bit simple, but not insignificant. You don't have to do anything dangerous, you can still work when you're old enough to help with civil engineering, so it's not so bad.

Not to mention light magic. It's been sought after since level one. Once you reach level 5 or 6, you'll be respected by everyone, and you'll be able to play and live if you want to.

On the other hand, wind magic is a little more approachable. It's not so great until you get to a higher level. No, it's just a useful magic.

Dark magic?　That's a bit different. It's not something to be discussed as useful or not useful.

In that sense, spacetime magic is a little hard to use.

Up to level 3, the effects are quite subtle.

That's why I was expecting a level 4 Sanctuary.　I wonder who gave it that name. It looks great, but the effect is kind of dull. .......

In fact, this is the spell I've used the most. It comes in handy when you're camping. It keeps all the bugs out. Of course, that's not how it's supposed to be used, and it's great when used by high level people. In the case of my master, he was able to bounce back arrows and magic.

I was so happy when I was able to use ”teleportation” at level 6. ...... Immediately after that, I was devastated to find out that I could only fly within my field of vision even if I used it to the fullest.

Of course, this is also great when used by high level people.

But only a handful of people can reach that level. But only a few can reach that level, because it's usually difficult to even use level 6 magic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know. I'm not sure if this is a complaint or not.

Well, read it to the end.

”Really?　Seems like a waste of time to me. ......

---------------------------------------------------------------------

That's why most people fail in the middle, space-time magic.

I'm sure you've heard of it. But if the magic you're able to use is just a bunch of crap, you won't be able to maintain your motivation, and you won't be able to make a living in real life.

Ordinary people can't spend all their time practicing magic.

I think the magic bag is the first thing that comes to mind.

It's so well known that people think of magic bags as space-time magic and space-time magic as magic bags.

Yes, it's true that if you can make a magic bag, you can be assured of a secure future as a space-time wizard and a life of left-handedness. I've made a lot of money, too.

That's how I've been able to find the time to write this book.

Anyway.

Magic bags are not really that easy to make.

In fact, magic up to level 3 is enough, so even a time-space wizard who failed halfway through the book can make one, don't you think?　No, no, no. If it were that easy, they'd be selling more of them. That's what I mean.

First the alchemist. You need a partner to work with.

This other alchemist doesn't have to be very skilled, but they do have to have aptitude, so it can't be just anyone.

Besides, the alchemist and the space-time wizard need to be in sync, so if they are incompatible, it won't go well at all. In other words, if you can do it well, you can do it well. Actually, my wife is an alchemist. Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, I'm getting off topic again.

I'm talking about magic bags.

To tell the truth, it's not that difficult to make a magic bag if there's only one spell to be cast on it: Light Weight, Slow Time, or Extended Space.

I think even a beginner time and space wizard would be able to pull it off.

And if you're actually going to use it, I think it makes sense to have a magic bag that only has one function, but it won't sell.

Or rather, they don't treat it as a magic bag because they think a magic bag is one that has ”light weight,” ”slow time,” and ”extended space.
