Volume 2 Chapter 14 Feelings Passed Down to the Next Era (Intense)
I accepted a request from the merchant guild, and in the afternoon, I was receiving explanations about methods for reducing the weight of cargo from Lene.
Although the focus this time is on Enchantment magic, Lene, who already understands the theories around this, can truly be called a genius.
"I see..., so you create the catalyst through alchemy. Not only would that make meeting the requirements of this project easy, but it might also allow for the creation of unknown magic stones in the future."
"Yes, typically Mr. Ryuuji uses readily available materials for the catalyst, but if we can create it through alchemy, I believe it could serve as a substitute. As you said, creating unknown magic stones may not be just a dream."
"So how about the output? Can that also be compensated for through the application of alchemy?"
"That's... likely to be difficult. First, we need to increase the energy capacity to enable high output. There may be a possibility of realizing this by using spatial magic to create a separate dimension within the magic stone..."
"The problem is that even if we increase the capacity, there's no method to 'increase the stored energy amount beyond the usual.' No matter how large a bucket you have, if the amount of water falling in is small, the rate at which it fills will remain the same──huh? Belle, what's wrong?"
While Lene and I were having a heated debate, Belle started to spin her head around.
Her eyes were swirling.
"I, I don't understand what you two are talking about..."
Oh no, it seems this topic was too difficult for Belle.
It certainly is quite challenging for someone who just started learning Enchantment magic today.
"Shall we take a short break? I'll make some tea."
"Ah, please. Just make sure it's something other than a beaker or a flask."
Lene, with a wry smile, stood up to prepare some tea, while I looked over at Belle, who was exhausted from the fever of knowledge.
"Ugh..., if I want to become a top-tier enchanter, I need to be able to hold a conversation like that..."
"Experience really makes a difference. Well, I'll keep an eye on you until you can at least talk about it."
"Hehe, I'll be counting on you! ...The favor you did for me when I was always an outsider, I'll definitely repay that!"
Belle quickly regained her energy, clenched her fists, and her spirit was rekindled with determination.
Perhaps Belle may not have the talent for Enchant magic.
But even if that's the case, I want to ensure she can thrive as a first-rate Gemcutter.
"Is this how my 'teacher' felt?"
I found myself lost in that thought and muttered it quietly.
I never would have imagined just a few days ago that I would be in a position to take on an apprentice and teach them something.
"'Teacher' refers to the master of my master, right? Was he also an enchanter?"
Belle eagerly inquired about 'teacher'.
By the way, it seems she has decided to call me 'master'.
"No, I don't really know what 'teacher's specific profession was. He used magic, but he denied being a magician by saying, 'That's not my specialty.' Still, he was someone who had a remarkable ability to discern others' aptitudes. Who would think that this big physique would suit being an enchanter?"
"That's true..., the other day you crushed an Evil Tree with a kick..."
Forget about that.
"Well, besides that, he was the one who taught me and my siblings, who were just children, about how to live. I don't know where he is or what he's doing now, but I'm grateful that I've been able to support Belle's future in this way. I can't thank him enough."
"M-Master..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Belle welled up with tears.
She wiped her eyes with both sleeves and then gently grasped both of my hands.
"Master! I'll do it! I'm going to train hard to surpass Master!"
"Oh, okay"
"Come on! Let's dash towards that sunset!"
"We're inside. You can't see it. Besides, should I be running too?"
I'm being forcefully dragged along by her arm and have no idea what she's talking about.
All I can do is be dumbfounded.
I understand her enthusiasm, but this lynx seems to have some extreme tendencies.
"Oh, you're late, Lene. How far did you go to make tea?"
"Is that so...? I heard the front door open a while ago. Maybe she went to pick tea leaves?"
"Ah, that's possible."
Right in front of my eyes, there's a field where crops grow in a day thanks to the power of the 〈Magic Stone of Peul〉.
Maybe she's picking tea leaves there, or maybe she's chatting with Lana and Lena.
Well, it's break time, so let's not think about it too deeply.
