13 Episode 13: Its named after the injury. (2/2)

What about you, Lisha?

I've only just started studying magic. ......

As for Lisha's magical education, it seems that she has been holding off until she is more secure. Or rather, I was too early. In the first place, it is said that it is common to start studying magic after the age of twelve, or fourteen at the latest.

Have you learned how to use magic yet?

No, not one yet.

I see.

That's true. It took me more than half a year before Crabbe told me that I could use magic. It will probably take that long for Lisha, who has just started, to use magic for the first time.

”How about you, brother?　After all, how many more?

”Most of the basics. The other day, my uncle taught me how to use the flame-rune, so I can use it now.

”............ Brother, you are amazing.

I'm not sure what to do with it.

Lisha's eyes lit up. ”You'll be able to do it soon.

Yes!　Yes, I'll do my best!

Yes, I'll do my best!” Lisha smiled brightly.

At one time I feared that my parents might not like me because of my upbringing, but I am very grateful that they continue to treat me as they have.

If it weren't for Lisha, I'd probably be a very desperate person.

I continued to work for a while, explaining the mark to Lisha, but eventually she said goodbye and left the room, as if her time off was over.

Now, it was time for me to clean up and take a break, so I used my magic to clean the room.

”......?

The magic silver droplets that had just been blown away and scattered seemed to have moved somehow.

This bothered me, so I stopped the spell, and the magical silver became smaller, as if the expanding liquid had returned to its original size.

Inexplicably, when I used the spell again, it expanded as I expected.

I'm using magic, but I'm not acting on the silver in any way.

”Could it be that it's reacting to magic ......?

As far as I can see, it seems so.

Then how did it become like that?

The only thing I can think of is the outburst earlier.

Magical Silver has never behaved in this way before.

Then it is natural to think that the event ...... that happened in the meantime was caused by the outburst that blew up the magical silver.

But if that's the case, what exactly was the effect of that outburst?

I was just using it for engraving, and I didn't cast any magic on it. If there was anything that affected the magic silver during the outburst, it was .......

-Wrought hot magic.

This is it. This is the only way. The only thing I can think of is that the magic silver was exposed to hot magic when it lost control and that's what happened.

Yes, the engraving also exposes the silver to hot magic, but it's a very small amount. There has never been a time when magic silver has been exposed to such a large amount of raging hot magic as in the case of an outburst.

Perhaps that's why the magical silver has transformed into something that looks a lot like magical silver.

But it's still expansion,.......

So, what is the point?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The magic silver seems to be reacting to the magic power, and it expands little by little.

When I stopped releasing it, it stopped expanding and shrank back to its original size.

After a while, I was lounging around doing this, when I saw what was happening, I got an idea.

A thermometer. That's right!　A thermometer!

The premonition of a great discovery struck Arx's body like a thunderbolt.
