The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

140 Another Story: Cursed Lady Speaks Out 01

Magic City Anisphere.

It is a city under construction, taking the name of Anisphere Wynn Palettia, the current queen's sister-in-law, as the princess who created magic.

This story is an act in the City of Magic, where Anisphere, the Lord of the City of Magic, is no longer present.

"Huh? Can't Master Anis come back for a while?

In a somewhat grumpy voice, it was Tilty who replied to Charne, who had brought his reward from the King's Capital. Tilty is loaded with documents, and next to her, Priscilla organizes and subdivides the documents.

Tilty bought a surrogate and left while Anisphere was away. But she basically hates caged people. Work progresses extraordinarily slowly compared to anisphere on boulders.

Besides, there are documents that cannot be processed without Anisphere returning because they are only surrogates. So Tilty's job is to have Priscilla divide the documents that can be judged by her own authority, and she can only scrutinize their contents.

If there is an urgent case, Priscilla is supposed to head to Wang Capital, but so far no such documents have come around.

"Staying in the king's capital is another problem?

"No, I have to stay in Wang Capital for a while at the Magic Birthday meeting..."

"Magic Birthday...... oh, that one. Could it have been a festival to celebrate magic?

"Oh, I didn't know Master Tilty knew."

"I don't like it, but I can hear it, if it's that big a festival."

Priscilla comes mixed up in conversation like she teases Tilty. Tilty replies with her nose ringing, wondering if she cares about the teasing.

The festivals held in the Wang capital have grown in scale and flourished in recent years. That cut would definitely be at a festival that spread demonic props.

The festival, which made known the convenience of the magic props and performed the aerial circular dance, is still the storytelling grass of the people of the King's capital. Since then, the aerial circular dance between Anisphere and Uphilia has never been performed, but instead the Knights have become routinely seen using air bikes.

It made the people look forward to the future and invigorate it. It is the magic birthday that is expected to increase its vitality even further.

"But I thought you said that Magic Birthday was pretty much nothing to do with Anis?

"It seems that Emperor Lukeheim of the Aylene Empire would like to attend the Magic Birthday Festival. Maybe he won't be able to come back at work with the final confirmation of the Devil's Sword to be presented to the Emperor."

"Wow, that's a pain in the ass... well, Master Anis works for you too"

Tilty sighed as she said it was bothersome. His face hidden in a thin, clear black veil still frowns at this. Charne could only reply with an ambiguous bitterness to such a Tilty appearance.

Then Tilty silences herself for a moment to think of something. And when I looked up, I shrugged like this.

"Huh. Then you can do whatever you want for a while...... Hey, Charne?

"Yes?"

"Stay with me for a while. I'm tired of paperwork."

"Eh."

When the sun went down and the construction of today's city was over. In one of the rooms of the city government were those gathered by Tilty. Charne, Priscilla, and Monica.

Monica usually seems to be concerned about Charne and Priscilla, who aren't really face-to-face, and she's turned her gaze several times. That makes Charne feel so uncomfortable because it's the same.

"All right, you've gathered. Then I'll start class."

Tilty, looking over at the gathered faces, says as he slaps his hand and draws attention. Charne, who remained flushed by the strength of his push, resolutely raised his hand.

"... Um, Dear Tilty"

"What?"

"Classes, why even me and Mr. Priscilla...?

Charne also knew Tilty was doing magic tricks on Monica. But I just don't understand why you and Priscilla are involved in it.

Tilty sighs at this sight on Charne's question. And he replies with a lazy voice about how far the push went earlier.

"You didn't go to college, did you?

"Yeah, well..."

Charne went up to the royal castle as a samurai before going to the college, and Priscilla has not attended the college either. Even Monica, who was a former orphan, deserves no chance of getting an education at the Aristocratic College.

"You guys can use magic, but you're not properly educated. That's why I'm telling you to fill that hole. I'd rather be thankful."

"Why? Regardless of Monica, it seems like it would never be an easy job for Tilty to take care of us."

Pale Priscilla asks Tilty. I can't even tell you how adorable I am to flatter you, Tilty. I don't even know why she takes on the role of teacher, even if she hates people.

If it's still Monica, I know. Because her growth will lead to more efficient construction of magic cities. This time, both parties were wondering why Charne and Priscilla were involved.

Tilty replies to such a Priscilla inquiry with a sigh of relief.

"This is still part of the magic bureau. In the future, I will spare no effort if it leads to something for us. It's not good for me to stay halfway through you."

"Is that half..."

"Hmm. I was just about to tap Monica into the meaning of the class, and I'm just going to tell her to wrap it up and give her a class. Shall we start there? Okay, Monica?

"Yes, sir"

Monica, whose name was called by Tilty, shook her shoulders and stared straight at Tilty.

"What is magic?

"Magic… is something that has the power of the Spirit to manifest itself in the form of magic"

"That's the point. Although there are various opinions and arguments that have arisen as a result of the various statements made by Ennis, it would be fine if the minimum perception had been achieved. Okay, next. Charne."

"Yes, sir"

"What is magical aptitude?

"Eh, magical aptitude is the type of magic that a person can use… affinity with a compatible spirit"

"Great. So, Priscilla, can the number of magical aptitudes be increased acquired?

"... impossible, is it taught?

Answer a question from Tilty as Priscilla frowns just a little. Priscilla's answer was the same for Charne and Monica.

The number of magical aptitudes is one of the statuses for the nobility. That is why we first explore the attributes that can be handled by ourselves with the aptitude test being carried out. If this number is high, it is considered excellent, but there are exceptional exceptions that remain only aptitude for the attributes of the wind, as Silphine, mother of Anisphere and queen of the predecessor.

Silphine is famous for wind magic, and she bears the most powerful name in the kingdom. Therefore, although the number of magical aptitudes is not absolute, it is assumed that it has never been exceeded.

"The answer is both right and wrong."

"What!?"

That's why Charne was surprised by Tilty's response to Priscilla's answer. Ignoring such a Charne surprise, Tilty began his commentary.

"Certainly it's not like you can make compatibility with spirits that aren't suitable from the beginning, acquired. There's just one pit."

"Pitfalls......?

"Yep. I think you found out about your fitness in the test... what's so important about using magic?

"... can you draw a detailed image of magic,?

Charne answers Tilty's question with no confidence. What is important to use magic is to refine the magic image and whether it can be conveyed to the Spirit. If the image is delivered correctly, the Spirit gives power as magic.

An unsuitable attribute for Charne is such a feeling that the details of that image do not float or engage. Even if it could be used, it's easy to consume magic compared to the attributes you're good at.

"Yes, I wonder if I can paint a detailed image of magic, but there are two stages here."

"Is it two stages?

Tilty nods as she stands two fingers.

"The first stage is the suitability I just said. You can't even climb up there in the first place, it's a difficult stage to use. And the next step is ignorance."

"... ignorance or not?

"There's a big difference between not being able to use it at all and not being good at using it. So, it's this" usable but not good "guy who gets caught up in my view with less aptitude attributes. Surprisingly, you can say it's rare that you can't use it at all.

"... but isn't the result the same that you can't use it? Then I think you should grow your attributes."

Ask Tilty with Priscilla's frowning expression. Tilty snorted at Priscilla's response.

"That's why people who don't get a proper education are biased in their attributes. Even if I was biased originally, I need to be aware of it properly and accurately. I'm running away with the easier ones right away. I certainly don't like what I don't like, it's not like I can change it acquired. But it's not what you understand, not what you understand."

"... why is that?

Monica asks as she raises her hand against Nanny and Tilty. In Monica's inquiry Tilty takes the paper and draws a circle there containing the six light stars.

"This is due to the phenomenon of light emission, commonly observed when using magic." It's often applied to magic props as well... Why do you think they're painted on the Six Lights?

"... coincidence?

"Fool."

"Aww."

Tilty was a little, and when he lowered his finger, a small-scale wind hammer struck Monica in the head, answering. Monica is keeping her head down with a few tears in her eyes.

"Well, I'm not wrong,"

"Then why did you slap him?!?"

"Because it is necessary for a wizard to think about it. When using magic, the Spirit develops a luminescent phenomenon, which has the nature to portray the magic formation of this six-mounted star. It is thought that these six stars may reveal the attributes of their spirits."

"It's a six-mounted star, so you mean the Spirit of Light, Darkness, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind?

"That's right. Although some spirits of the subspecies, it is definitely only a consequence of degeneration and belongs to one of the six attributes. In other words, we can also say that this six-mounted star pictures the world. The Spirit is the image of the world, and magic is the art of freely manipulating the Spirit."

Unexpectedly, there was zero breath of admiration from Charne, Priscilla and Monica. It's not the same story as knowing that you think it's something like that and why it's happening.

"The magic lies in knowing the nature of the Spirit. What can and cannot be done? It is taste and knowledge that determines the wizard's skill. So those who are ignorant tend to bias their magical aptitude." It is usable but not usable "and there are such cases. That's why we need education."

"As long as it takes..."

"- And this story is pointless at the same time. If you don't think it's necessary, you can forget it."

'... Yes?

It was the moment when the voices of Charne, Priscilla and Monica, who were impressed, matched perfectly.

"Shall I say it up again? Eventually, this class will be meaningless."

"Mm, isn't that inconsistent...?

"Yes, it's a contradiction. - Magic, that's what it is. It's a class to find out."

"... I don't know what you mean. I would like a specific explanation."

Priscilla stares at Tilty with her face on the boulder. Tilty snorts against such Priscilla.

"You're right, because it doesn't make sense"

"If it doesn't make sense, isn't it futile to tell?

"No, I'm not. What doesn't make sense and what doesn't is magically the same thing."

"Huh...?

"Charne, you said that magically the most important thing is to paint a detailed image, right? That's why this class makes sense and it's pointless. But it's not for nothing. Because it's important for you to know. You said I was pointless, but you were confused because you thought my story made sense, right?

"... if you can tell me that you are, I think it's natural to think that you are"

"Hmm. Okay? Remember."

Tilty said away as if to mock Priscilla, who said dissatisfied.

"That's where you stop at the stage where you're using magic in the sales of other people's ideas. There is nothing we can do about the existence of natural aptitude. But only you can define magic as" what is it? "Thoughts of others are beneficial, but they are meant to sharpen your mind. It is not useless to accumulate knowledge. It's just pointless if you're just going to imitate that idea. - That's magic.
