191 190. Repeat a thousand years ago.txt (1/2)

From yesterday evening until the next morning, I continued to develop my dimensional magic endlessly.

Perhaps because of the repeated reckless attempts at magic, a sense of weariness took over my entire body, and I periodically felt pain in my brain. However, after repeated attempts at all-out magic and short periods of sleep, a new form of dimensional magic was definitely in sight.

The MP was empty, but a new letter floats on the 'display' of the skill.

[Magic]

Dimensional Magic: Dimension 1.69 Connection 1.03 Form 1.07

Deforto 1.00

The only magic that reached the level of perfection approved by ”Display” was ”Default”.

The effect of 《Default》 is to create a fault line in the dimension. And I'm already using magic that is close to that. Even though the scale is different, the Form also creates a fault in the dimension to form a bubble shape.

When I fought against Rowen once, I strengthened the Form to break the distance between us. So he was able to master the 《Default》 just by increasing the perfection of that improvised magic.

Of course, the magic consumption is incomparable to the ”Form”.

I'm sure I'll only be able to use ”Defortion” a few times now. It's still not possible to use it as often in battle as the original Kanami.

And the other two spells that I couldn't learn are even more magical in their consumption than ”Deforto”. Even just trying them out would greatly reduce their magic power and strength. Although he was able to handle the template magic after a night of intense development, he was still far from the practical level.

《Torsion》 can make dimensional flowers but has low killing power, and 《Distance Mute》 has difficulty inserting an index finger into an inorganic object.

Nevertheless, they are still advancing.

There's no doubt that they are learning magic at a speed that would normally be impossible. In the first place, it's impossible to weave new magic by common sense on earth.

However, if you think about it, it can be said that this is just a reminder of the magic they used in the past. Maybe it's because the magic formula is engraved in the blood, which is why the magic development is so smooth like this.

Considering how it works, since I'm using Yotaki's body, I should have been able to use freezing magic too.

However, since I don't have the magic stone of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Water', my talent is completely missing.

I tried some ice-cold magic, but in the end I never succeeded. It's a good thing that I'm not going to be able to get the same level of magic construction as the dimensional magic, because it's more difficult.

It's probably because of the magic attribute that comes out of my body. It's really a dimensionally-attributed magic power right now.

It's a good thing that you're able to find a way to use the dimensional attribute's magic power to create a freezing spell, but you'll have to master dimensional magic before you can do that.

''If possible, I'd like to get back around [Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)]: ......

In terms of versatility, nothing can surpass that winter magic. That's how much I like Dimensional Winter (Di Winter). When I think about it, I think I had a tendency to use that magic all the time. It may be that at an unconscious level, I liked to mix the attributes of the dimension (me) with those of the freezing engine (Hitaki).

It's no use asking for something that isn't there. You have to fight with the cards you have now: ......

I avoid looking backwards and look up.

I have to work in the city today and I can't let it sink in.

I quickly wake up Ryner, who is sleeping in the same room.

Ryner rubs his sleepy eyes and gets out of bed. He looks exhausted, perhaps because of his scramble to get Lord away from me yesterday.

It seems that Lord was noisy even outside of the city, and he had a hard time keeping me away from him because he tried to check on me every time I was holed up in the castle.

But without a single word of complaint, Ryner quietly finishes preparing for work. You can see the spirit of not resting on the job no matter what kind of physical condition he is in. It may be part of his nature, but more than that, it's also his obsession to save up money.

Right now, we have very little money.

There is no time to be poor. We can't afford to sleep easy.

We must save up our money and prepare for the food we are going to eat in the maze.

Probably, the journey from the sixty-sixth layer to the ground will be a long journey that will span days.

Basically, it would take several hours just to conquer the first layer - even if you knew the path, it would take a whole hour. Even by simple calculation, it would take 66 hours - about three days.

And all the while, water and food will continue to be consumed.

If we wanted to be safe, we would try to return with a week's worth of food in our 'possessions'.

So, if we don't earn money not only to make ends meet, but also to get some preserved food, we won't be able to get out of here any time soon.

I've been told that my job is basically on a piece-rate per diem basis, so I can't show even the slightest gap when I do my work. I don't want to be pestered and lose my income.

Ryner and I got back into the swing of things and went out into the castle's large garden.

There was a Lord standing there waiting for us.

Just as he was about to tie up his long, unraveled hair.

In front of that scene, Ryner and I are speechless for a moment.

Underneath the lush dark green trees, Lord's hair was shining green, reflecting the sunlight through the trees. It's a sight that would never be seen in the original world. The green hair that resembles a jewel (emerald) and the magical light that faintly illuminates from her body are unique to the other world. This is exactly what makes it worthy of the metaphor ”fantastic”.

That's right, fantastic - the word ”beautiful like a phantom” comes to mind.

The figure of her with her hair down looks very different than when she was wearing a ponytail.

Not a vivacious girl, but a deep window too, a deep window - a ladylike s*xiness that could be mistaken for a royal daughter. Her eyes were cooler than usual, and the gestures she made to tie them up conveyed a sense of elegance.

The most surprising thing is that this Lord is more well-placed.

The natural Lord looked like a princess of a great country.

However, that impression soon fizzles out.

Noticing our approach, Lord slackened his mouth and looked at us. Then he rushed over to us with a ladylike motion, waving his tied up hair like a tail.

''Ah, I see you're awake!　Morning!　Kanamin, liner!

The sudden change confused us, but we managed to return the greeting, ”Good morning.

'Well, let's go to work. Well, Kanamin is at Reynand's grandfather's place, isn't he? It's all right, since Doi (Warawa) got through to him yesterday. And Ryner will be with me. He said he wants to train his magic as soon as he's done, are you sure you'll be okay?　Aren't you tired?

Lord nods his head like a jolly town girl. It's completely the same Lord as always. There is not the slightest hint of a queen-like presence there.

Having regained his mind, Ryner replies as planned.

''Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. To be honest, I'd love to be able to teach you magic all the way through.

Ryner makes an appeal that he is the real deal for clearing the labyrinth to get attention.

''Yeah, that's a good mindset. You can leave it to the child who was even called the King of Demons (Warawa)!　But is it good for Kanamin?　I can advise you on dimensional magic, though?

'No, I'm good ....... I'm feeling a bit under the weather, probably due to the magic stone being out. I'll work for the money, but other than that I'm going to take it easy in the castle.

'What?　What's wrong with you?　Do you have a cold?

Anxiously, Lord put his hand to my forehead.

There was no malice or percussion there. He is genuinely worried about me.

But I keep my mind open and continue with the skill 'fraud'. I've seen the guardians (guardians) combine pure goodwill and madness many times. I can't let up.

I won't treat her like a monster like I did with Arti and avoid her until she's avoided, but I can't let her madness inspire me, at least not until I leave the ground.

'No, I don't think it's a cold. I'm just a little lazy, so don't worry about it.

Yeah?　But if you have any problems, tell me right away. I'm not going to be mean to you when you're sick with a stone.

...... You know you're being mean to me, Lord.

Oh, that's a negative. Nothing. A child is always a kind girl!

The Lord notices the gaffe and insists on being a child.

Chuckling at that, we walk out of the castle and into town.

On the road, people in the city who pass by wave to me. Apparently, the Lord spread the word within yesterday. We received a lot of warm feedback welcoming us, our new neighbors, and offering to help us if we need anything.

However, me and Ryner were going to leave sooner rather than later, so we couldn't stay for a bit. Still, we kept our smiles on our faces until the end. Interacting with the people of the city is also important to capture the labyrinth.

Thus, while being watched by the warmth of the city, I first arrive at Reynand-san's house.

I find another cat-eared girl playing in the garden. She too finds us and comes up to us, wagging her tail.

'Oh, he's really here!　Good morning, everyone!　Master Lord, if it's Grandpa, he's in there again!

Good morning, Beth. But I'll be leaving Kanamin alone today, since the children will be going somewhere else soon.

Oh, you work for us, Master Knight?

'That's right. A servant of your house, so to speak - no, a butler!　You can use it often enough!

Wow!

Maybe it's because Lord blows the right things into my head, but Beth's eyes are getting harder and harder to see me.

In order to correct my misunderstanding, I step forward and introduce myself.

It's nice to meet you, Beth. I'm Aikawa Uzumi, who's going to help with the blacksmithing work here.

'Ah, yes ......!　It's nice to meet you, Sir Knight Commander: ......

Beth turned over, blushing. The vivacity she showed Lord was gone, and she squirmed and shrank back in embarrassment.

'I don't need your surname. You can call me more comfortably. But I don't think I'd recommend the nickname 'Kanamin'. That's just what the idiot over there calls it. If possible, I'd like you to call me by it.

''No ......, I can't call you out. Because you're a Knight Commander, Sir Knight Commander!

For some reason, Beth shook her head, being stubborn.

I thought it would be easier for a girl this age to call me by my name, but I guess I miscalculated that .......

''But isn't that a hassle to call them that?''

'It's not a bit of trouble, that's all right!　...... And I don't know how to say it, but when I look at Knight Commander-sama, I think there's only Knight Commander-sama. The chest part of the body is squeaky clean and I feel like I shouldn't be called anything else.

Beth put her hands on her chest and said something difficult to understand.

From her shy demeanor, she wondered if it was a longing for an older man. But there was definitely an uncomfortable feeling there that I could be sure wasn't.

It was as if there was a mixture of things that were not me .......

I was about to pursue it further to find out what it was, when Lord interrupted me.

''Mufufu ....... As usual, Kanamin is a guilty man!　How dare you bewitch the mind of such a naive little girl!

Wait, don't talk like that. I'm going to be working with this kid's grandfather. ......!

But you don't seem to know what else to do!　Come on, give him some more cool lines!　Just like old times!

What, like in the old days, how: ......?

'What?　Hmmm ....... Too much puberty and rebellion, cis-conscious avenger-ish?

'You can think about it and still get an answer like that. What am I really doing, the old me: ......

That 'Primordial Kanami''s too comical assessment was surprisingly shocking.

''Uh, yeah, well, then, Knight Commander-sama!　Let me take you to your grandfather!

Beth, who can't see me being discouraged, pulls back and urges me into the house.

I cut the idle chatter and Lord and Rainer wave me off.

'Well then, relax!　I'm going to go work with Ryner on that one!

I'm going, Christ. I'll take care of the rest.

Reiner was serious.

There's a spirit in there that wants to do his job. I'm relieved to know that I'll be fine if I leave the matter of the road to Reiner.

Then Beth takes me by the hand and we walk into the house.

Beth's profile is still red as she walks in front of me. But I don't remember doing anything in particular to her. I had no idea why I was so embarrassed.
