2 Chapter 0002



The building existed in the deep forest.For some reason, the building is covered with soft sunlight, despite the fact that all the trees around it seem to strike the sky.There is no sign of living things in such a building."However, strangely enough, the floor of the building was kept very clean without any dust."
 Then, in a room in such a building, Reiji... no, a person once called Reiji SAEKI wakes up.

"...what on earth is this place?"

 While looking around, he put his hand on his forehead and thought for a few seconds, but immediately nodded as if he understood something.

"Well, I'll merge with that light bulb... oh, I see.It's definitely a fusion.I know it, and I'm sure it's my own consciousness."

 When Reiji looks around, he finally realizes that he is sleeping in bed.On the floor was drawn a group of wizards, and it was conceivable that he had performed some kind of magic on the body, which had been sleeping until now.Get up from the top of the bed with clothes on your bedside.

"Well, what's the new body like for me?"

 The light bulb, which, according to his knowledge, was named Zepyle Zond, he reflected his face in a tub of water which Zepyle had prepared for him.
 The face of a boy with bright red hair was reflected there.His features are so neat that he thinks it's okay to say that he's more beautiful than he is.The color of the eyes is blue and the contrast with the red hair will leave a strong impression.He was about 165 centimeters tall, and he was about 15 years old in appearance.For Reiji, who was 17 years old before his death, he was about two years younger.

"But, according to the knowledge I have received from Zepyle, it seems to me that the body is not good enough."

 According to Reiji's knowledge of Zepyle, this body was created by Zepyle and his family by combining magical powers and the essence of technology.Because the family disappeared due to aging, they were treated as senile.though, of course, there is a prerequisite for this, which requires a certain amount of magical power.
 The point is that even though he is immortal, he is not immortal.As might be expected, the world's leading magicians could not reach the human dream of immortality.But perhaps it's a substitute.Amazing resilience is inherent in the body, and it seems that the body's physical abilities are also very high-performance.

"Well, for the time being,"

 You draw your body's performance from your knowledge, pour water into a wooden cup with a pitcher on the table, and drink it up in one gulp.
 I suddenly realized that I was moistening my throat with that water.

"Now that you mention it, this water is several hundred years old."

 As he spoke, he poured water from the jug again into the empty glass and stared.If Zepyle's words were correct, he would become that light bulb and seclude himself in the spiritual world of the world in search of a successor to the art of sorcery.Of course, this body, water, bed, clothing, etc. should have been prepared before the zepyle became a light bulb.Considering the fact that it has remained so fresh, Reiji came to understand that it was a family formed by some of the world's most famous magicians.
 The water is so fresh that even if you say you've just drawn fresh water deep in the mountains, you'll believe it.Reiji, who lived in a rural town in the Tohoku region, must have been used to drinking delicious water, but he felt that there was a difference between heaven and earth, and after drinking several more glasses of water, he finally settled down.

"First of all, shall we look around this building?"

 I generally understand where and what kind of knowledge is available from Zepail, but that is the knowledge that Zepail has given me.You'll actually need to see for yourself.
 In the bedroom were Reiji's sleeping bed, tables, chairs, jugs, and cups.

"Huh? This is..."

 Looking around the room, Reiji noticed a picture on the wall of the bedroom.Twelve men and women of all ages are depicted there.
 They are the twelve of Zepail, who master the art of earth, water, wind, light, darkness, space-time magic, spatial magic, Summon magic, alchemy, mathematics, ancient magic, and fire.Zepyle's knowledge in Reiji tells us that the magicians depicted in this painting are the ones who are said to be able to destroy a country in a matter of hours.
 But this is not the only time Reiji was fascinated by the painting.It is the clothes worn by one of the people in the painting who manipulate the art of mathematics.It was obviously a black school uniform worn by Japanese junior high and high school students, and moreover, it had black hair, black eyes and Japanese characteristics.We draw from Zepyle's knowledge about him.

"Takum Suinose.A mathematician, I'm sure this is my home town."

 A person named Takum Suinose in Zepail's knowledge had the characteristic of being immortal.Zepail's knowledge tells us that Reiji's body was created by incorporating the physical characteristics of Takum Suinose.

"So, are there any other Japanese in this world besides Takumu Suzunose and myself?"

 I thought about it for a few seconds, but immediately shook my head and shook it off.
 Even if other Japanese come to this world in the first place, there is nothing I can do about it because I am not physically Japanese, let alone conscious.All you can do is talk to that person and miss him."If you were ever more infatuated, why did you die?"

 I'm curious about that, and I'm going to draw out my knowledge again.
 According to his knowledge, he was poisoned after being involved in a power struggle in a great country.After that, he managed to escape under the Zepiles, but in the end, he couldn't get rid of the poison in time.

"Well, it seems to be a world of nobility and ordinary people.If we get involved in the power struggle, will that be the case?"

 Incidentally, Thakum Suinose's art of mathematics was his own original magic, and no one else could handle it.and the effect was to quantify the object, and it was not suitable for battle.

"I see. Was it a kind of magic related to games such as appraisal and analysis?"

 It seems to have been completely unknown magic in this world, but for Reiji, who loved subcultures so much, it was somehow an understandable ability.

"Well, for the time being, this room is all right.Next is the laboratory."

 Walk barefoot on the floor and open the door of the bedroom.Perhaps the house itself had been maintained by some sort of magic, and not even a particle of dust had fallen on the floor, let alone dirt.

"Was this ... used space-time magic to stop the time in this mansion?"

 Go down the aisle confirming the knowledge of Zepail.This residence was originally used by Zepyle as a base for searching for a successor to the art of the beast after Zepyle became the last survivor of the family, and it was quite small.so that I could reach the laboratory in a matter of minutes from the bedroom.
 A plaque was hung on the laboratory door, reading, "Whoever opens this door, and who is not qualified to be a magician, will not be cursed."

"... at least we found that the letters of this world could be read by combining them."

 mutter while looking at the letters on the plate.
 According to Zepail's knowledge, if a person who does not have the magic power to succeed to the art of the beast tries to open the door, he or she will immediately be burned out.

"Very radical security,"

 While muttering jestingly, Reiji gently reaches out to the doorknob, and even if Zepyle had endorsed him as the successor to the art of the beast, he seemed to be cautious.
 However, his extended hand easily touched the doorknob, and the door was opened so easily that he was stunned.

`... whoop,'

 He entered the laboratory with a sigh of relief.
 The laboratory was considerably larger than the bedroom."From Reiji's point of view, it would be a room of about 30 tatami mats."Half of them, in the back, are huge wizards.The half of the area near the entrance seems to have been originally equipped with equipment for various experiments and books for reference, but now it is so empty that even one of the experimental tools was not placed.However, there is only one fine jewel-box on the table near the magician's camp.

"Well, that's all the jewelry boxes.I'm looking forward to what's inside."

 muttering, he approached the jewel-box and opened its lid.

"Is this a bracelet?"

 Take out what was inside the jewelry box.It was a ring about 10 centimeters in diameter.It must be a bracelet in terms of use.
 I looked at the ring in my hand mysteriously.It certainly looks like a beautiful bracelet at first glance, but jewelry boxes still seem more valuable for money, such as detailed workmanship and jewelry embedded in them.
 It's uncomfortable. That's what crossed my mind.A bracelet having a low monetary value is placed in a jewel box having a high monetary value.I don't think it's normal.In other words, there is something in this bracelet.When Reiji decides so, he draws out Zepail's knowledge and understands it.

"Well, it is certainly worth more than a million jewels,"

 According to Zepail's knowledge, the bracelet is what we call item storage.Moreover, Lizzie Flow and Esta Noor, who are said to be the world's best space magicians and alchemists, worked together to create the art of art, and the magical tools and precious materials that Zepail had collected so far are believed to be in this bracelet.His name is Mistyling. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 With a grin on his face, Reiji returns Mistilling to the jewelry box and walks up to the magic team in the back of the room."Is this the magic camp for witchcraft?"

 Magical art. Reiji already knew what magic was like by drawing it from Zepail's knowledge.
 When a spell is chanted at the center of the magic camp, the magic camp absorbs magical power from the practitioner.and the magical powers absorbed by them give birth to the beast.In addition, since various elements such as the magic power, inner surface, personality, deep psychology, hobby and taste of the operator are combinedly related to the generated beast, it is not possible to arbitrarily select it by oneself.
 If this is the only magic that can be said to be the secret of the Zepail family.However, the magical animals created by this magic have certain characteristics.In other words, the magical stones in the body of the devil evolve stronger, stronger, and faster as the beast prey on them.And the evolution is varied by predatory magical stones.It's a possibility worthy of being called an infinite possibility.The future of this evolution, that is, there is no theoretical limit to how strong a beast can be, but naturally no one has raised such a beast.
 In other words, witchcraft is a kind of magic that grows up with you.
 In addition, because the magical power absorbed by the magic team is enormous, ordinary magicians absorb not only magical power but also vital power and life, and the ceremony ended in failure because no magical animals were created due to the mixture of impurities.
 Once again, he draws out his knowledge of the art of the beast, takes a deep breath and advances to the top of the magic camp.

"I have a contract with Zepyle, and above all I am interested in the art of the beast.Then there's nothing I can do but try it here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

 This may be the change Zepyle made before the fusion.Reiji thinks so inwardly, but concentrates and speaks.
 There was no hesitation because Zepail's knowledge of the spell to activate the magic camp.

"I am the one who makes evil beasts with magical powers.A man who lives with a demon.Take my magic, and let the beast that sleeps in me appear in this world.Live with me, die with me.Show it!"

 Spinning magic on words is a spell, and Reiji, who inherited Zepail's knowledge, is able to accomplish the act without a hitch.Even Zepail, the world's highest magician, put a surprising amount of magical power into his words.
 Then, at the next moment, Reiji's magic team begins to shine, and gradually its brilliance becomes stronger.It absorbs the enormous magical power emitted by Reiji and increases its light.However, no matter how much Reiji has magical powers, his magical powers are naturally not infinite.It's been 5, 10, 20 minutes since the magic team started to shine.

"Oops!"

 Then the limit approached, he knelt down on the wizards, and the next moment, the wizards, who had already shone so brightly that they couldn't even see the surroundings, shone out of the blue... suddenly the light from the wizards disappeared.

"And it's done...?"

 As the magic team sucked his magical powers to the limit, Reiji looked around him half hazy and glamorous black.It was like a cocoon of a color that could be called jet black.As soon as Reiji sees the cocoon crack and shatter, his consciousness sinks into darkness.Just before she fainted, Reiji felt something fluffy and warm and a sweet voice called 'Gururu.'and the sound of something falling to the floor.
