68 Episode 64: The gear engaged (1/2)

”... Yufi and Raini, I wonder if you're okay”

”Are you that worried?

Ilia returns to a sigh of sigh to my grunt. I lay my elbow on my desk and glanced at Ilia with my jitty eyes as I supported my jaw.

”I'm worried about you.”

”Those two won't cause any problems. Those kids who are impotent, but I know my limitations. Unlike Master Anisphere.”

”My ear hurts. I was surprised at Raini, but Yufi said something amazing.”

”Is that an example plan?

“Example plan.” That's a trump card for Uffi to establish his position in the Ministry of Magic. I couldn't hide my surprise in the trump card that Yufi showed me either.

If that plan materializes, it is definitely a plan that will have a huge impact on the way the future magic is and the way the Ministry of Magic itself is.

”If magic props do penetrate from now on, magic tastes bad unless you review policies and positions from your current position and switch them. The advantages of magic props are that they can be used by anyone and provide stable performance. These two points are huge.”

”If the problems you have to borrow a magic hand to be able to solve in the hands of the people, it's a problem that will shake the primacy of the nobility.”

I nod to Ilia's reply. One of the factors that can make a nobleman a nobleman is that there are problems that can only be solved by nobility because magic can be used.

That has hitherto also been needed for territorial development and territorial defence. It is only natural for a powerful person to assume responsibility.

But when the country grows bigger, there are more people to protect. It is nobility that cannot be made up of strength alone, it is the management of the territory.

Civilians did not have the immense power of magic, like nobles. The relationship between the nobility and the civilian population was formed because the nobility was able to protect the people by a miracle called magic.

Magic can overshadow one such aristocratic advantage, the power of war in self-defense. Demonic props don't have to be noble to use them. And they take the position of knights and adventurers. If the absolute number increases, you can beat it by the number, even if the magic item can't cross the magic.

If a people who cannot defend themselves can protect themselves, they may be able to do so without protection from the nobles. That leads to the loss of one of the roles that nobility has assumed. Of course, I don't expect it to be completely gone.

”I still think it will have an impact. One of the reasons I've been bowing my head to nobility is because it reduces its value.”

”The time has come to revisit the role that magic can play.”

”As always, if you can do more new things, you can do more. I would prefer to work in a different way from magic and magic props if I could.”

Even if the value of magic as an aristocratic advantage diminishes, the value of magic itself does not waver. If we want to be proud of magic as an authority of nobility, those who use magic must also accept change.

In that sense, I think Uffi's ”strategy” would be a good way to review the current situation. But the contents... Honestly, it's hard to judge. That is certainly impossible for ”magic props” and can only be done with “magic”. I think if we can do that, we can revolutionize the magic itself.

So what the problem is, it essentially has the disadvantage of “magic”. That's also in the swordy sense of the blades. Remember the story advocated by Uffi and whine zero into the sigh.

”-” Spirit manifestation, ”or”

- Anisphere was squeaking, around that time.

In the Ministry of Magic, lectures were held in part by those gathered by Uphilia.

It was the day of the moment when “concepts” that could change the course of history, later alongside magic, were spread to the world.

”…” Spirit manifestation ”?

”Yes, that's the new magical figure I want to propose to you in the Ministry of Magic, and I believe it will lead to building a new relationship with the Spirit”

Ufiria nods as she turns her gaze to the nobles she has gathered. Some of them look like Marion. The aristocrats gathered here spoke out to draw Uphilia into their camp as a prospect, and they agreed with Uphilia.

Everyone on this scene is showing a lack of attention and concentration in listening to Uphilia. The attitude can be said to be worthy of those who serve in the Ministry of Magic, which is said to be elite.

”What is spiritual manifestation different from spiritual covenants?

”Yes, let's say something similar and different. I named it spiritual manifestation, but I define this as what exists on the” magic ”extension line. Now let me give you an overview.”

Confirming that those who have not yet been able to keep up with their understanding can be seen, Uphilia again begins to explain the concepts she advocates.

”As a premise. A spiritual covenant is a communion between a spirit that exists in the world and a spirit that is in one's soul. It symbolizes the spirit that becomes one's half body and exchanges souls in exchange for one's own soul, which elevates the existence to the Great Spirit. So what is spiritual manifestation about this? It's not communion with spiritual manifestation, but letting the spirits project their magic and will to make them independent, as they use magic.”

”Are you independent of the Spirit? Um, I don't see a connection to how that's on the magic extension line?

”If I tell you, magic is also a“ phenomenon ”in which the Spirit has changed his appearance. It is the will, prayers and wishes of men that are causing that phenomenon. And it's magic that transforms existence by gaining the magic that's the source of it.”

Uphilia looks over everyone and sees the reaction. Everyone frowns at troubles, puts their fingers on their foreheads, and is immersed in their thoughts with each reaction.

”Consider magic to be one of the forms of the figure of the Spirit. And the spiritual manifestation is on the magical extension line because the amount of information is different. This will be the major branch that separates magic from magic props. Beyond being a tool, magic tools require a simple design, but magic, on the contrary, can pack a lot of information and make them independent.”

”Is that the strength?

”Anis is aware that the magic props are only for” anyone. ”It's aimed at civilians and people who don't specialize in magic. Of course, we can benefit those who specialize in magic, but unless we have all our footprints, we will not take precedence. That's why I think magic should be narrow, deep and professionally switched.”

”That's spiritual manifestation......?

”Yes, if you say so.” It produces a Spirit who performs the role he wants. Ultimately, if we can follow the magic of the will, or the Spirit, we can call it an ideal. ”

Sawdust, and someone made a sound of spitting. Without concealing that his voice trembled, the voice of inquiry is thrown at Uphilia.

”Can it be said that, in other words, … the act of shaping the“ Spirit ”in its own hands?

”Yes. Exactly. And because you are from the Ministry of Magic, it is my desire to move forward with this plan together. … but”

Uphilia makes a cold voice sound on the field to water the air that she says is on the verge of boiling.

”Create your own god. It is true that the ultimate form of“ spiritual manifestation ”to go may be there. But don't forget. The Spirit is a mirror of the will of men, us. Is that God truly required by the world, or can he be responsible as the one who sends him out to the world of creation? That's what you have to be ready for.”

”Ready...”

”Spirit manifestations, like magic, have a greater impact on the surroundings. If the Spirit can be manifested as a friend, it must be firmly forbidden to create that friend as a thing directed against his compatriots. You can't seem to get rid of ideas that are different from your own. Do you understand?

If Uphilia tells him to stab the nail, the place will quiet down. Everyone never gives a floating look, but returns his gaze to Uphilia with a tight look.

”Besides, once the art of spiritual expression is established, it's not a dream to work with magic.”

”Yes, is it?

”The nucleus of a demonic prop is a spiritual stone. And in Annis' theory, the Spirit Stone is like a carcass where the Spirit has come together and solidified without will. It is my belief that this core power can be replaced or coexisted with spirits created by spiritual manifestations. If it happens, Annis will be happy to accept it.”

”Oh...!?”

Everyone looked at their neighbors. Spirit manifestation, it means that as a person of Spirit faith, it gives the “Spirit” an entity and makes it manifest in the world.

It is also possible to join hands with Annis, an advanced magic scientist. The faces of those who have shown their potential will be filled with surprises, and gradually joy will seep out.

”I wonder if there are many who have said that spiritual stones are the carcasses of spirits and have had anger and fear. I don't deny it either. But can we also overturn that theory by change? Don't you want to turn Spirit Stone into such recognition that it's not a carcass or something? Don't you think that's what makes those who can't believe in the Spirit a signpost for those who can't get in touch with the Spirit and don't want to get through the Spirit?

”By being able to handle magic, we can feel the benefits that we felt for the Spirit through our magic props...!

”There's no denying faith. It just changes the form of that prayer. Learn deeper, learn more, and turn into something better.”

Finally, they saw a future where they didn't have to fight the anisphere leading magic. And I didn't think I had to change the Spirit faith from the ground up or throw it away. This led above all to great peace of mind.

No matter how much truth is revealed, it is not immediately possible to abandon the feelings and beliefs that have been cultivated. And they didn't even have to throw it away. Uphilia has shown us the way for those who want spiritual faith to join hands with magic.

It is never necessary to contradict magic and the Anisphere, the leader of magic. I don't even have to bow my head for Kyoshu. However, we fill in each other's shortcomings and do what needs to be done in each other's territory. I realized that was possible.

”You are the ones who have been recognized for their talent by knocking through the narrow gates. Now is the time to move on from the old lesson. I will guide you. And together we will build a new era.”

- Together, hands together.

Words of wish without words create applause for 10,000 lightning. Everyone here had hope in their hearts. I was dreaming tomorrow. Seeing such a sight, Ufiria pulled her lips together satisfactorily and closed her eyes.

On this day, a party receiving Kaoru pottery from Uphilia moved vigorously to such an extent that it did not think it was neutral that it had originally decided to be opportunistic.

The forces of the Ministry of Magic, mainly Uphilia, will gradually increase in number. It's as if the thirsty earth sucks water and sprouts bright green.

It didn't take that long until it created a new stream of times.

”... joint research? With me?”

”Yes, I would very much like to borrow the wisdom of Princess Anisphere, and I have set up this occasion”

I was asked to meet with people from the Ministry of Magic, including Marion, and they were telling me such a surprise story.
