The gnomes threw a simple welcome banquet, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with a little drink and food. Some distance away, Masaru, Adelina, and old Botts were having a leisurely tea, exchanging opinions.

In the event that you've got the poison that may be a weapon, the terrain advantage will be enough for us to deal with the awaiting bear calmly, but not enough to harm it. ”Firepower?

I don't know. Fire wizard?

I know it doesn't make sense, but is there a wizard?

No, I don't think so... but maybe the gnomes have someone who's good with earth magic?

No, you don't! Adelina or what contraption is that? Earth magic. ....

”Old Botts, do you know anyone who can do earth magic?

”No, I'm afraid not, for there's no one in the country to teach you magic. It's an educational problem.

An education problem... and a difficult one at that.

”By the way, Adelina. How many people in the city could use magic?

There was only one person in town with access to drinking water.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it. It's a complete scam! (*For those who don't remember, refer to the beginning of ”Welcome to the Fantasy World”)

I'm not sure. What's wrong with Masaru?

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm not sure if there are that many people who can use magic. .... I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm sorry.

”You have a new message.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it. Some demons use it as a characteristic, but humans, including humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen, and demons, are still unable to understand the phenomena and are still searching for ways to observe events before constructing magic.

There are some who can construct basic magic with images, but the basics are just basics.

If you can teach the basics of science and show the way to magic, the world may change. I look forward to your future endeavors. Please visit

So you want me to build the foundation or base for building magic. .... What?

What? What?

An oracle, this time a god named Zelaphitis. I think he's asking me to teach him the basics of magic. God?

What do you mean, ”God”?

I'm sure he'll have questions, but he's going to be on our side from the start, so it's not a problem.

When I told him that I was actually from another world and that I had some connection with God and that God would contact me from time to time, his eyes widened and he was exaggeratedly surprised.
