Foreigner Volume 4, Chapter 39

Volume 4 Chapter 39, Discovery ~ 13

　While carrying the luggage that Rico had shopped for in his hands, they returned to the inn. At first, Rico was adamant that carrying the luggage was the job of a magical slave, but then he replied that he would carry the luggage directly, and she grudgingly nodded in agreement, feeling like she was about to be seriously beaten. Satoru's manliness would not allow her to put a heavy load on a girl who was much thinner and lighter than him.

　Rico, who had been deprived of her job of carrying the load, had no choice but to start working on something else. Minerva didn't mind at all, but Rico, Satoru, and Leia were all keeping an eye out for anyone watching them from the shadows. Satoru thought that if there were any such people, he would give them a hard time and show them the difference in power, but he came up empty.

　When she turned her gaze to see if she was getting any sharp glances from time to time, all she saw were jealous glances at Satoru, who was walking with a tall, voluptuous, well-dressed beauty and a brown-skinned, slender, healthy beauty on either side of him. To be honest, she found the jealous glances difficult to deal with. It was hard to distinguish them from those of surveillance. On the way to the inn, Rico noticed this fact and put some distance between her and Satoru, which finally stopped the jealous glances.

　As soon as they returned to the inn and arranged for a meal, Leia reapplied the art of [Warding].

「It is likely that we will have to go head-to-head with the academy. I want to make sure of that.」

　Leia's art of [Warding] is activated by combining several of the various effects. It seems that the simpler the art, the wider the area it can be applied to, but if you want to limit the area to the middle of the room, you can stack up to six or seven art. What she focused on now was anti-magic perception and keeping sound from leaking out.

　Convinced of the great care, there were two things Satoru did in front of the ornaments he had purchased.

　First, he used the corkscrew tip of his Jutoku knife to carve a letter. The letter he carved was "to S".

　The alphabet is not found in this world, so he thought it would be a good landmark for identification during [Detection]. He carved it out carefully so as not to break it.

　Of course, the three of them were very happy.

　The second was to take pictures of the ornaments with his cell phones. The more distinctive the shape of the target, and the better you know it, the more accurate the art of "Detection" will be. So he came to the conclusion that it would be better to take a pictures of them.

「Hey, I've been wondering for a while, what is that thing you do every morning like a ritual?」

　Rico ask, when he gave Rico a basic explanation of the functions of a cell phone, she widened her eyes in surprise. In addition, Rico and Minerva also took pictures of each other. When he showed them the images, Minerva also surprised.

　After completing the preliminary preparations, he finally started to prepare for the granting of magic to the ornaments. He started out with the usual magic lecture by Leia-sensei.

　First of all, it is possible to put multiple effects on a single ornament.

　However, it must be applied at once, and if you repeatedly [Grant] to a single piece of equipment, the previously applied arts will be overwritten. You can also apply this to equipment that has a powerful art on it to make it useless by putting a weaker art on it, but the [Coating] art prevents this.

　Of course, it takes an enormous amount of magic power to cast a art that has multiple effects at once, and of course, you need to be familiar with each technique. The reason why the magic power consumed is not strictly defined is because the magic power consumed by the same art differs from person to person, but the combination of art is not a simple addition. For example, if there is a combination of two arts that require about 5 magic, the magic consumed will not be 5 plus 5 equals 10. It will vary between about 11 and 20. The magic power consumed is not constant depending on the combination and the compatibility.

　Of course, the more arts you combine with this, the more magic power you will consume at once.

　Therefore, for equipment with multiple effects, the best that can be done with modern magic technology is to combine two low-grade arts. In the end, they rely on items found in the labyrinths of the Ancient Magic Kingdom. In the ancient magic kingdom, anyone with permission from the state could use powerful magic regardless of their soul.

　Of course, the combination of multiple arts requires longer chanting, and in some cases, you need a ritual.

「"Mimicry" is an advanced physical art. As explained before, the "Mimicry" itself is accompanied by "Granting", "Spell Perpetuation", and "Undo Spell". This is a difficult arts even on its own, so why not add three more? The formula for granting this to an object is "Grant Items" "Mimicry" "Spell Perpetuation" "Undo Spell" "Invoke Spell" "Shape Change". See, it's complicated.」

　I see. Magic is useful, but it's also a bit like mathematics. It would be easier if there are a calc or something, but there were no cell phones or computers, and Satoru doesn't have the knowledge to handle such things.

「Also, what is the art that my Lord wants to use with me?」

　Even though she said that, Satoru still didn't know much about the arts. He say what he know.

「"Preservation", "Hardening", and to prevent overwriting "Coating".」

「Well, that's the basics. Each of these can be ridden alone. The rest...」

　He titled his head, "Hmm".

「Oh, can't you make it so that Minerva can talk to people when she's in flying dragon form?」

　At Satoru's question, Leia also tilted her head.

「"Telepahy" then perhaps.」

　In the first place, this is the first time I've learned that some flying dragons have intelligence comparable to humans, so I don't know exactly what kind of arts to apply. That's the only one I can think of that applies, Leia added.

「In case you're wondering what kind of art is that, may I ask?」

「You're talking to me mistress in the shadows. Something like that.」

　Ahh, Satoru nodded. When he want to talk to Leia in the shadows, he doesn't need to say it out loud, he can do it just by thinking with the intention of talking to Leia. The vocal cords of flying dragons don't seem to be suitable for producing human speech, so if he can converse only with his thoughts, so much the better.

「It's a art with a narrow effective radius, but it's good enough. What else?」

「Can you still add more? If that's the case, I'd like a art that be able to touch you.」

　Mwuh Leia choked out. In the first place, you need to compose a art that can counter her [Life Force Absorption]. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. There is no art that can counter the "Life Force Absorption" of the [Immortal King].

「Of course, "Resistance" is a matter of course, but ...... there's "Art Enhancement". I'll have to set up the chanting so that the "Art-Enchancement" art is placed on the "Resistance".」

　Leia groans as she unravels the magic book. It seems that you can't just read two chants from a single art, and it's difficult to create an original art like this.

　Rico also had minimal knowledge of magic, but she had never heard of putting 10 formulas on a item. On top of that, she noticed one problem.

「Hey, don't you think it would be better to check if the item can really withstand that "Resistance" with "Art Enhancement" first?」

　Oohh, Leia exclaimed in admiration at Rico's point. Satoru feels that the number of cases where Rico occasionally follows up on Leia's stupidity like this has been increasing lately. The knowledge of magic is not the only thing in the world.

「Rico is right. If the item can't stand it, we'll need a different art.」

　It's a test, so a scrap of linen, which Satoru uses as toilet paper, was chosen as the item to temporarily contain the magic power. Leia twists her head and reads the chanting from the magic book, and Satoru puts magic power into the scrap of linen.

「It's not like it's going to change the way it look.」

　In the middle of the chanting, a light appeared in Satoru's hand, which was transferred to the scrap, but there was no change in appearance. Minerva took over the role of testing touching Leia with the scrap. With "Life Force Absorption" Satoru doesn't work in the first place, and Leia is a test subject. If you look at physical strength alone, Minerva has more than Rico.

　She grasps the scrap and fearfully touches Leia's hand, which is held out with the opposite hand――The moment she took Leia hand, Minerva's face twisted just a little. She was touched, at least. But.

「Minerva can touch her, but I feel like it's still sucking me dry.」

　Minerva pulls her hand away and shakes it. She seems to be a little numb. It's not enough to make her fall over in a second, but it has some effect. But still, it's not enough. Leia nodded at the result.

「So it seems. I guess "Resistance" and "Art Enhancement" are not enough. Then it would be......」

　Leia groans as she opens the magic book again.

「"Magic's Resistance" I think. My Lord.」

　Leia immediately made up a new chant. Try it on the same scrap of linen.

　Because of the previous example, Minerva seems to be less averse to holding Leia's hand. She grasps it without hesitation - seemingly without a problem. Minerva didn't seem to feel absorbed either, and tilted her head slightly. He thought it was a success, but when Leia increased the output of the "Life Force Absorption", Minerva hurriedly removed her hand. Her hand went numb again.

　It seems that if Leia is careful, she can handle it, but it is still not at the level that Satoru wants. She is aware that she loses control of her "Life Force Absorption" when she has sex, so she can't share a bed with the others two yet.

　Leia goes back to her research. Eventually, dinner is served, and even as everyone eats, Leia is twisting her head, wondering whether she should eat this or that. Satoru felt honestly sorry for her, as she forgot to eat and sleep and devoted herself to her research.

「I'm sorry about this.」

　Leia, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying Satoru's concern.

「No, no, this is fun. You don't have to worry it, my Lord.」

　She turned over the magic book and seemed to have reached a conclusion.

「How about if you apply "Art Enhancement" to "Magic Resistance" as well?

　In the formula, it's "Grant Items" + ("Resistance" + "Art Enhancement") + ("Magic Resistance" + "Art Enhancement"). Leia is a first-rate magician who can extract the necessary items for the necessary arts, organize them, and formulate a chant. Of course, Satoru and Rico can't do that.

　She read out the chant, which had become quite long, and transferred the magic power to the scraps of linen again. Once again, Minerva cooperated in the experiment.

　First of all, it's normal output - nothing happened. Leia consciously raised the output of "Life Force Absorption".

「...... How it is?」

　Minerva's response to Leia's fearful question "Are you really fine after hit by "Life Force Absorption"? was that she was fine. A questioning look on Minerva face. Even after raising the output even closer to the limit, there was no change in Minerva's reaction.

「Nothing happened. Minerva can touch you, Leia.」

　At Minerva's voice, Leia's face was colored with joy. She looked back at Satoru with a big smile on her face.

「I see! Let's try it, Rico!」

　After receiving the linen from Minerva, Rico also fearfully touched Leia. Minerva, formerly the Nushi of the flying dragons, is quite strong, but Rico is just a human. It's not that easy.

「...... Nothing happened. Wow, it's strange to touch the [Immortal King]. ......」

　Leia looked down with deep emotion as her hand was moved up and down in a handshake. Now that they have a countermeasure to "Life Force Absorption". Now it's time to create a chant that combines the original "Mimicry" art and others.」

「All right, I'm going to use this as a basis for the chanting. Give me one night.」

　Leia's expression was full of joy, despite the fact that it would undoubtedly be hard work. He guess it's almost like the feeling of a scholar who has come to a conclusion to a troubling study and is now revealing the solution.

「Leia, you look happy, and you look like you've having fun」

　Rico muttered with a half-amused smile on her face. Rico, like Satoru, is a hands-on person. It's hard for her to use her head like that, and it's hard for her to understand how fun it is.

「It is because of my Lord that I am able to perform such a complicated arts without any problems. It is a pleasure for a magician to be able to study such a highly advanced art.」

　Leia said with excitement.

　Normally, these arts would need to reduce it's magic power consumption. Of course, an art that is too advanced requires an appropriate amount of magic power, so it is necessary to reduce it to a level that can be used by the general public. This is the reason why Leia's original "Warding" arts were not passed down to future generations. Leia herself had tried her hand at chanting, but in the end, the arts was so advanced that no one but her could master it. There is little point in perfecting a art that cannot be used because it cannot be passed on to future generations. This is why she gave up on the idea of chanting.

　However, if Satoru is going to use it, there is no need to reduce it's magic power consumption. After all, he has a tremendous amount of souls. Magic that is only theoretical but not practiced is meaningless. In that respect, it's great to have an existence that can demonstrate the theory with tremendous power without much danger.

　With normal Leia's power, even with a art that infuses all of her magic power for a day, she can barely make four or five layers of art. The magic power required for the "Granting Items" itself is also quite high. She stressed that it was impossible to combine advanced magic with yet another effect. If it is a lost item from an ancient magical kingdom, such items can be found, but they are extremely rare, and some items can be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins.

「If you think about it, that cloak is also ......」

　Leia stopped her work and lifted the hem of her favorite cloak. She never takes off this cloak except for socializing(having sex) with Satoru. Satoru knows that she is very attached to it. Noticing Satoru's gaze, Leia gave a small laugh.

「This cloak was given to me by my master, Yarth. The source is unknown, but there are ten arts on it. It's not exactly human work.」

　Satoru raised his voice, "Wow". It's probably a product of the ancient magic kingdom, and she doesn't know what kind of art is on it, but it must be very useful. It's not a human work, said Leia, and Minerva snapped her head to the side.

「Leia is not a human being in the first place, no?」

「Hahaha, I guess so.」

　Leia laughed and let it go, not caring about the fact that her words lacked delicacy. It's not that kind of problem, and Minerva is not human either.

　Satoru gave a small sneer.

「Rico and Leia should also think about what kind of art you want to apply to the ornaments you bought today. You can put the "Resistance" enhancement art on Rico's, but you can also put the other than that, right?」

　When Satoru told them that, Rico and Leia looked at each other and nodded. He was only thinking about countering Minerva's "Mimicry" and Leia's "Life Force Absorption", but if you think about it, that's not all. The options are endless.

「You're right. ...... I'll think about it.」

「I'll think about it too. Whether or not it'll be a art, though.」

　If you have the magic power of Satoru, you can put any kind of magic on the goods, as long as you know the basic chant of the magic. Satoru has a point of view that Leia doesn't. She thinks in terms of magic.

　Yes, it is possible to create a function like a cell phone with magic.

「Right, Rico, information about the labyrinth?」

「Oh, right. I almost forgot.」

　About eight days' walk from the city of Ares, there is a huge canyon called Dale Wood Canyon. The Labyrinth of No Return is said to be located in the middle of a gigantic maze of steep cliffs that stretch for half a mile on both sides and are filled with demons and beasts.

「The flying monsters can only be killed individually, but to prevent the walking monsters from crawling out of the canyon, a huge fort has been built at the entrance. That's Fort Dale Wood. The labyrinth is a couple of days' walk from there.」

　Rico unfolded the map of the Dale Wood Canyon suburbs that she had bought. Unlike the randomly surveyed world maps they have seen so far, it seems to have been surveyed to a certain extent. The entire canyon is quite large. It was about 200 kilometers long and wide, even from what he could see on the map. The inside of the canyon seems to be like a maze, twisting and turning here and there.

「It's a breeding ground for monsters, so Ares and other surrounding nations have put a bounty on clearing the labyrinth. If Yarth is in this suburb, that labyrinth is the most likely place.」

「You don't know the entrance to the labyrinth, do you?」

　Rico shook her head from side to side.

「I know, but I've been instructed not to tell someone.」

　Basically, the monsters that crawl out of the labyrinth are low level. On the other hand, the monsters and magical creatures that spring up inside the labyrinth become dramatically stronger. If you are not skilled enough to find the entrance to the labyrinth, you will die soon even if you reach the labyrinth. That's why they don't tell you the shortest distance and let you get used to the monsters around you.

「I see, that's reasonable.」

　However, that element is only a hindrance to Satoru now. They have to find the entrance from this vast canyon... Satoru grunted involuntarily, and Leia's voice echoed.

「There will be no problem. If you use "Magic Search" to look for areas of dense magical power, you can easily find the entrance.」

　Satoru nodded at Leia's voice, her gaze still on the magic book and the parchment on which she was writing the chant. If you just take the word "Magic Search", it's probably something like radar.

「The effective range of this "Magic Search" is....」

「If its me, my range is roughly half a mile square.」

　A mile is 1,350 meters, and with that kind of detection range, it would certainly not be hard to find the entrance. It seems that the labyrinth is the result of magic power that is separate from that which emanates from the soul. Monsters, demonic creatures, and demons are attracted to this magical power and gather there. From the point of view of a beast that lives in a demon, it's like a power spot.

　At the same time, Satoru was curious about something else.

「Does this art also react to human magic?」

「Indeed, to a point.」

　Finally, Leia took her gaze off the magic book, turned to Satoru, and began to explain.

「It's not like "Soul Search" where you can get a detailed number, you have to have more than 500 souls to get a reaction. Moreover, it's only enough to know that there is one. It's very rare for a human being to have more than 500 souls, so it's not a problem.」

「If that's the case, ...... wouldn't I, Leia, and Minerva also react?」

　In response to Satoru's concern, Leia makes her usual dumb face, saying, "Oh, I forgot to explain".

「Oh, no need to worry about that. The cloak I wears contains a art called "Emission Blocking", which gently suppresses the release of magic within a square meter of space, so there is no way for me or my Lord to be identified by "Magic Search". It is a natural art for advanced magicians.」

　The "Magic Search" itself belongs to the intermediate magic of the spirit system. The effective range varies depending on the soul and its qualities, but it is generally around 10 majors (90 meters). Leia's number of half a mile is also unusual. However, it is possible to forcibly expand the range by using magic stones. There have always been ways to find high level magicians with them. In order to counteract this, a art called "Emission Blocking" is used to conceal the release of magic power, and it is common for advanced magicians to have magic tools that contain the "Emission Blocking" art.

　Normally, Leia is beside Satoru, and even when she is in the shadows, the cloak's effect is halved, but the effect is still out there, so Satoru and Minerva are never the target of "Magic Search".

　In fact, it was for this reason that the High Mentor of the Academy of the Wise was able to detect that someone was lurking in the shadows. It's not that Satoru and Minerva have special magic tools, but there was a hint of the "Emission Blocking" art, so he was able to notice her. It's ironic, but Satoru and others can't possibly have noticed.

「 ......,But just in case, I'll have to think about the equipment it was on.」

　Leia looks a little sad. If Satoru needs to use the "Emission Blocking" art, it means that she's not around him.

「It's just a precaution. Don't give me that look. And just in case, try to think of a way to incorporate that arts into Minerva's ornaments.」

「Got it.」

　Minerva also has over 1200 souls at the moment. In other words, she can be the target of "Magic Search". Minerva, when in her flying dragon form, goes out hunting in the morning and evening, and sometimes leaves, so this was also a precaution.

　Satoru had given the order to create it half on the spur of the moment, but he hadn't expected that it would come in handy later in an unexpected way.

　One more thing. There was one more fact that Leia and Satoru had almost forgotten, but they didn't find out about it until the next day.

　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊

　The Academy of the Wise is said to be a place that never sleeps, just like the Thieves' Guild. The reason for this is that there are many magicians who study at all hours of the day, and many scholars are the type who forget to eat or sleep and devote themselves to their studies, but this does not seem to change much regardless of the historical background.

　Inside the building, a small building just a few steps away from the symbolic Chalk Tower was also lit up, even though it was around the fifth koku (22:00).

《Academy of the Wise Patrol Team, Person of Interest Task Force》

　This is not a department that has been newly established to deal with Satoru, although it has a deceptive sign on it. It's a department that has been around for a long time, though it hasn't been very active in recent years. The department was established to monitor the actions of legendary figures with more than 500 souls, but in recent years, no legendary figures have emerged among the general public, and royalty and nobility have been excluded from the surveillance, so the department has been kept at the window.

　Sheryl Maylander was hastily selected as the head of the special department, which was based in a humble hut. It was a direct call from the High Mentor, and some were surprised by the suddenness of the appointment, but since the department was originally a window department and the young woman who took over as the head of the department was also a troubled individual, many were able to ignore it.

　Even though it is a small department, there are always eight people in the department. Because of the nature of the mission, the department has certain connections with the Thieves' Guild, and there are people who come and go who are slightly different from those who generally work at the Academy of the Wise.

　As soon as she was assigned at noon today, she gathered all eight members of the department and announced that the new head of the department would be taking on a difficult task. The first thing she did was to clean up the window section. The previous head of the department, who had been promoted to a higher position, had been doing their best to keep the window area boredom at bay and had not had the energy to clean it.

　It took all nine of them until late in the evening to clean up, and just as they finished, she arranged for everyone to be served food and drinks. The eight members of the team, who had initially complained, quickly gained respect for the new team leader for her unpretentious attitude and the way she showed concern for her subordinates.

　On the same day, she reorganized the department that day, grasped the characteristics of the personnel, and reorganized the work arrangements. In her case, however, they were unhappy because of her family problems, and everyone in the team knew that they had no problems of her own. She was a celebrity in a way.

　When she showed all the members of the team the "Mental Images" of the two targets, and told them that these two people, especially the men, were the targets, that they were incredibly dangerous, and that this mission was a call from the High Mentor - the moment they heard the last line, their expressions tightened.

　The fact that the High Mentor had directly instructed them to reactivate this window department was not light.

　With a gentle smile, she told them not to be nervous, but to devote themselves to the tasks they were capable of, and the morale of the group rose rapidly.

　She found out information about the "Giant Killer" from a document more than a hundred years old, and immediately gave instructions to the night shift's magician, who specializes in "Detection".

「There's no response from the Giant Killer.」

「What did you say ......!? Has it been noticed or what?」

　The young woman who had been appointed as the new team leader clicked her tongue at the report of her subordinate man.

　Sheryl bites her nails and thinks.

　Satoru may have left the country early after a fight with them. Or, as the High Mentor had pointed out, he was hidden by "Fallen Sacrifice Princess" Leia's "Warding" Art.

　The latter is the correct answer, but as expected, she doesn't have the ability to see that far.

「My apologies, but can you please go check with the guards? The two targets are of considerable size. They should be able to make some kind of impression.」

　The first thing she said to her older subordinate was, "My apologies". It doesn't matter if it's a younger boss or a complicated person, just being told this will change your motivation to work.

　As soon as he stood up, the older man looked back at Sheryl, suddenly remembering.

「How about their inn?」

「If you touch them too much, it might turn into a snake. Don't touch them now. .......We'll have to go see them the next morning.」

　In any case, there is a mission to hand over information and gain the trust of the other party. Sheryl rubbed her stomach, which was beginning to ache. Although she had just been appointed to the post, she managed to fight off the urge to run away and went about her duties with all due diligence.

　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊

　That day, he had one session with Rico and went to bed.

　He didn't want to disturb Leia, who was absorbed in her chanting, so he thought he could do without it.

「It is a shame for a slave to force abstinence on his master.」

　Leia insisted, so he did it with Rico. Minerva was sentenced to a day's stay because of the incident the night before. Aside from Leia, who quickly retreated into the shadows and blocked out her senses, there was a moment when Rico was writhing in shame under Minerva's envious gaze.

　The next morning, Satoru woke up feeling the touch of Minerva's naked body as she said she wanted to at least sleep with him, and the first thing he saw was Leia's face as she sniffled and held out a piece of parchment.

「It's done, my Lord! Sorry for the long chant, but this shouldn't be a problem!」

「I'm just waking up. ...... and you're already so excited in the morning.」

　With a wry smile, Satoru half-raised himself and stretched, careful not to wake Minerva, who was still wandering in the world of sleep. Rico, by the way, was already awake and smiling at the excited Leia.

「Good morning, Satoru.」

「Morning.」

「Leaving city today? Or tomorrow?」

「Tomorrow, I guess. Try to wash some more literature about dragon. ...... yaaawwnnn~」

　Satoru yawns loudly as he plays with Minerva's hair, which is still muffled from sleep. He stroked Leia's head and she said, "Quckly, quickly," as he grabbed the parchment and she fidgeted with it.

「I'd like to look into it a little more too. ...... Oh, that's right. About that person you were talking about yesterday, Sheryl-san?」

「Hmm?」

「Somehow. She used to be a noblewoman. I heard that she's a pity person who lost her nobility after her father made a mistake.」

「Hee」

　Satoru returned, rubbing his slightly grown beard. When she served him tea at the Academy of the Wise, and when she enjoyed the tea, she had an air of nobility about her, but if she was an ex-noble, it made sense.

「I've heard that she was considered one of the most talented of the Ares nobility until her father's fiasco. .........You've been spotted by a very troublesome person.」

「It's not like I was spotted because I wanted to be.」

　He filled the tub with water and washed his face while still in his fritin. While starting to charge his cell phone as usual, He find Leia's blank ...... gaze very annoying. Satoru smiles bitterly at Leia's attitude of expectation with a twinkle in her eye, and takes the parchment anyway.

　Look down. For a moment, he felt dizzy.

「What the heck is this ...... It's too long.」

「That can't be helped. "Grant Item", "Mimicry", "Spell Perpetuation", "Undo Spell", "Invoke Spell", "Shape Change", "Emission Blocking", "Resistance", "Preservation", "Hardening", "Telepathy", "Coating", "Magic Resistance", and two "Art Enhancement", for a total of 15 arts. It's a long chants because I didn't want to cut it down, but I hope you'll give me credit for putting it all together.」

「That's good work.」

　While patting Leia on the head, Satoru looks over the chanting. The chanting is in the form of putting magic power on the words themselves, so you can't bite off more than you can chew. It's a relief that he doesn't have to say it in one breath, but it's extremely difficult to read it without chewing on the letters, which are still a bit inconsistent.

　After asking Rico to arrange for breakfast and to tell her that they would be staying another night, Satoru wrote the chanting in Japanese in his notebook, just in case. He asked Leia about the parts that were difficult to understand and put them together.

「Try not to bite this one. ...... It's scary.」

「What? You can do it, my Lord.」「Morning-morning」[TLN: sorry bit hard to translate 何、主様なら出来るわぃ。さ、はようはよう]

「. ...... At least put on some pants first.」

　When Rico brought breakfast, Minerva also woke up. Minerva's nudity, which is too sensational, is poisonous to his eyes and is likely to interfere with Satoru's concentration, so he dresses her and eats breakfast first.

　While eating breakfast, he concentrates on reading the book, focusing on the parts he thinks are likely to bite. By the time he finished eating breakfast, he finished reading and immediately started the procedure.

　It was too long a sentence, but Satoru concentrated only on reading the words. The chanting was a relief, because the language was filled with magic just by chanting, so he didn't have to be conscious of putting magic into it. With his right hand on the bracelet and his left hand holding the notebook, he managed to read for ten minutes without biting. It's a bit of a ritual.

「"Grant Items"」

　The moment the last art was completed, Leia, who had been staring at excitedly until just now, let out a loud gasp. The light in Satoru's right hand slowly sinks into the bracelet. He glanced at Leia - had I made a mistake in my chanting somewhere? At Satoru's quizzical gaze, Leia shakes her head from side to side in a panic.

「My apologies, my Lord ......, I completely forgot.」

「What is it?」

　The bracelet has no change in appearance. It's hard to tell if it was successful or not, so perhaps it failed. Satoru himself had no impression that his magic power had been reduced, but under Satoru's stern gaze, Leia opened her mouth hesitantly.

「...... magic power tremor」

「Ah!!」

　Satoru shouted loudly. He realized that he had made a mistake that he had forgotten.
