"Grull".

　What Reiji felt when he woke up listening to his voice was strangely pleasant and warm hair.

"...what?"

　When I looked around, rubbing my head, the first thing I saw was a thick coat.Something with that hair was putting Reiji to sleep with his body as if protecting him.
　Noticing this, he looked around, stroking the fur in front of him.Then, he met Reiji's face with a worried look.

「……」
「……」

　We look at each other's faces in silence.
　Reiji's eyes were black and sharp, with round blue eyes.The blue eyes are checking Reiji's condition anxiously.
　The next moment, when he thought he had the same blue eyes as himself, the face before him -- the face of birds of prey -- was pressing his face affectionately against Reiji's face.

"Glu".

　She caresses the bird's head with a smile, as if a cat were spoiling her.
　Then he rubbed his head even more as if he were saying more.While stroking such a bird's head, Reiji suddenly looks over the bird and stops rubbing his hand.

"Glu?"

　He turned his eyes to the place where he leaned, saying, "What's the matter?"and it was not the feathers of the bird that I had expected, but the fluffy texture of the hair that looked like silk.It looks more like a lion's body than a cat family.However, the forefeet is sharply pointed, as is the case with birds of prey.Birds of prey on the lion's body -- no, an eagle's head, its forefeet, and, although folded, its wings grow outgrown its wings.Reiji knew the name of such a phantom animal.

"Gryphon,"
"Glu".

　The head of an eagle was rubbed against it as if it were correct.After muttering so much, Reiji finally remembered why he had fainted.

"Well, I've done a magic ritual... that is, is this Gryphon my beast?"

　When he was convinced of the existence of the Gryphon, he turned his eyes to the beast before him.A sharp and lovely eagle face on a lion's body full of dynamic movement.The size of the folded wings is about 2 meters.
　The Gryphon in Reiji's memory was of course a game or novel, but in his knowledge the Gryphon was very violent and aggressive.but the Gryphon in front of him did not show any signs of it.or rather, I could not think of any savage remark at the sight of the kitten rubbing its face against it as if it were being played upon.

"Or perhaps they are different from the rest of the Gryphons, for they were created by the magic of animals."
"Glu".

　As he muttered, the Gryphon rang in the back of his throat just in time.

"...are you by any chance understanding my words?"
"Glu".

　and the Gryphon rang again.

"Wait a minute,"

　He stroked the head of the Gryphon and drew his knowledge.
　According to the book, magical animals' abilities created by the amount of magical power absorbed by the magic team are varied.That is to say, the friendly Gryphon created by Reiji's enormous magical powers has such a high level of ability, or at least the ability to understand human language."I see, I understand most of it.-- name it first."

　For some reason the Gryphon in front of him was attached to Reiji from the beginning, but according to the original magic procedure, after the creation of the beast, the existence of the beast is established only by naming it.

"Gryphon, sky, storm... how about Set?"

　Seto. It is the name of a god in Egyptian mythology and is considered the god of storms.In addition, Reiji explains that he is also known as a god who represents great strength and is responsible for roughness and war.
　It was the name associated with the Gryphon before him, which existed as if protecting himself.

"Grull".

　Gryphon, who had heard the origin of Seto, gurgled with delight.

"Well, from today on you are Set.I'm Reiji... No, I'm not.That's my old name."

　Thinking while patting Seto's head that comes to mind.Saeki Reiji was crushed to death by that steel frame.Reiji SAEKI and Zepyle are now in the same league, and even though their main personality is still Reiji, it feels strange to use the name SAEKI Reiji as it is.According to Zepail's knowledge, he understands that the name of Saeki Reiji does not fit into this world of Elgin.

"Reiji ... well, from now on he will call himself Ray.Nice to meet you, Seto. My name is Ray."
"Grull".

　As soon as Seto replied, a list of skills appeared in his mind.

"What is this?"

　That sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.From Ray's perspective, it looks like a game status screen....but it only shows a list of skills, and doesn't show the familiar game like STR or power or offensive power.Before that, the name displayed there was Set, not Ray or Reiji.
　He hurriedly drew information from Zepail's knowledge.

"...I see, it's your work, Takum,"

　That's right, Takum's skill list seems to have been the one that created the art of witchcraft.It made it possible for Seto to display the skills he learned by predicting magical stones.It should be said that it has spread from modern Japan.Incidentally, there is a function that lists the items in the room and displays them in the back of your mind.

"Well, I'm glad it's convenient,"

　Although he came to a different world or was reborn, he stood up with Seto with a wry smile at the situation in which the lingering scent of Japan still exists.

"Grull".

　Seth, who was looking at Ray, held a long and narrow object in his shadow and offered it to Ray.

"Is this a sickle?"

　A sickle, however, is not a sickle for mowing grass.It was appropriate to call it a death-size scythe with a handle of about 2 meters and a blade of about 1 meter.

"What do you want me to do about this?"
"Glu".

　As if it were yours, he offered Ray a scythe that had been gnawed at him.
　It is also pitiful to let Seto hold the scythe as it is, so he once received the scy.
　The handle is black and the blade is black.Generally speaking, Ray recalls a scythe in his hand, which is a color that could be called jet black.

"There was no scythe in the first place when I came to this laboratory.I mean, before I knew it, I was showing up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . one possibility."

　How many times is it today alone?I drew the information from Zepail's knowledge again, and the result came out immediately.

"Is it because of the art of sorcery?"According to Zepail's knowledge, when enormous magical powers are released in the process of creating a magical animal, that extra magical powers are created as magic items when the created beast releases more magical powers than it can tolerate.Of course, it was Takum who made such modifications to the technique.
　However, it seems that magic items were never created because all the magical powers released by Zepyle and his family were used to produce magical animals.It must have been a technique that Takum added for fun, but it was only effective because of Ray's enormous magical powers.

"And if Takum is involved..."

　With the scythe in his hand, Ray murmurs, "Status," and the status of the magic item he had taken for granted is displayed in his mind.

Death Size
"And the name of the scythe of death?"Wouldn't it be all right to twist it a little more?"

　However, there is no Takum to complain about in this world.While breathing out, I read the description of death size.
　The first ability is the engine of magic.Because it is a magic item made with enormous Ray magic, its performance is extremely high.
　The second ability, like Seto, can absorb magical stones and acquire new effects.At the same time, it is possible to list acquired abilities just like Set.
　The third ability is weight reduction.A person who has the same magical wavelength as death size, that is, only Ray and Seto can swing this death size without feeling any weight.
　The fourth skill is to increase the basic performance of a scythe by passing through magic.
　said he, in his mental table of status.

"Isn't this quite rare, to be honest?"
"Glu".

　That's right, and the set sounds like that's right.

"I am glad that it is an effective weapon for witchcraft.I'm glad to hear that... isn't it usually a sword or something like this? Why a scythe?"

　The performance is overwhelming, but it seems difficult to use this magic item.That was what Ray felt with his death size.

"I got a powerful magic item at the moment, and I guess I have to show it to myself."

　Lift up the death size suddenly and realize the effect of weight reduction right away.
　Originally, a metal of this size would weigh 10kg or 20kg.But Ray's death size doesn't weigh much.Sensationally, it's about whether or not it's 100g.

"It's amazing,"
"Guru"

　Seto agrees, too, singing in his throat.

"Well, I have succeeded to my greatest goal, the art of the beast, without any difficulty. What shall I do now?"

　Ray murmured, stroking his silky, smooth hair, but soon realized that he could not stay in this building, regardless of his future goals.There is only about ten days' worth of food left, let alone drinking water.If you don't go to the village or town as soon as possible, you will be starved to death as soon as you become the successor to the art of sorcery.

"No, I have some food, but I don't have enough to eat."

　Even though they are created by the art of the beast, food is necessary as long as they are alive.Considering Seto's height of 2 meters, he can stay in the house for one day, and at least two days.

"So I have to go to a town or a village with people as soon as possible..."

　According to Zepail's knowledge, the residence is bounded by spatial magic, but the surrounding forest is home to many vicious demons.The reason why he built the house in such a place is that it was a sort of shelter for the Zepiles.For this reason, he considered setting up a strong boundary in this forest, where many vicious demons live, to prevent them from entering the residence, and to use the demons to defend against foreign enemies.

"That's all right, but I wish I, as a beginner in the fantasy world, would be able to get out of the forest where such a magical creature lives."Ray muttered in a whining tone and let out a sigh.

"Grull".

　Ray shook his head lightly, though he spread his wings two meters long.

"It's a little difficult to fly in the air.It seems that even the dragon species lives there."
"Glu".
"Don't worry, I don't know how much power you have, Seto or I have in the first place."

　He caresses Seto on the head and talks comfortingly.

"I wish they could have allowed us to see status other than Takumu and Skills anyway...you can't use it.No, wait a minute. Is there a possibility that there are some magic items in the mystery ring?"

　muttered Ray, moving with Sett to the front of the jewel-box containing the mistling.

"Grull".

　For some reason, Seto's voice sounds like she is in a good mood when she sees the jewelry box.Watching it, Ray recalls that there was a legend that Gryphon would collect the treasure.

"Set, you may play in the jewel-box for a while,"
"Glu".

　Seth rubs her cheek against the jewel box in delight at Ray's words.He put Mistilling on his right arm, looking at the scene with a smile.Mistyling, which should have been somewhat larger than Ray's arm, shrank to a noticeable extent and fitted perfectly into his arm.

"Well, to show the list... oh, just think about it."

　The list unfolded in my mind includes numerous names for items, materials, and equipment.But Ray, who followed them with his eyes, ended up covering his face with his hand.

"There are certainly some magic items that look amazing and have powerful effects.But if you don't have any food in it, is it harassment or something? Are you telling me to eat the bones of dragons, or the horns of senior demons, or Salamander's tail? Or, if you were supposed to give it to your successor in the art of the beast, put in one of the magic stones that you'd feed Set."

　As there is nothing we can do about it, we will search Zepail's knowledge for magic items that may be necessary to break the current situation.What I found as a result was what I called a "diagnosis oven."It seems that you can understand what kind of magic you can use.Of course, it was limited to the aptitude other than the art of sorcery.
　Declared to have enormous magical powers by Zepyle, the world's highest mountain, Ray decides to take a diagnostic oven out of his mistrings to see what kind of magic he is suited for.

"If I could use water magic, I wouldn't have a problem drinking water, so I wish I could have a water magic aptitude.Also, are there high expectations for spatial magic where you can use transition magic and alchemy where you can make magic items?"

　Put your hand on the diagnostic oven, imagining your magical aptitude, and then a symbol of your magical properties appears on the oven.For example, if Ray has the water magic aptitude he expects the most, water drops.If you're good at space magic, the door.and flasks if they are qualified for alchemy.
　and there was only one symbol of fire in Ray's eyes, looking expectantly at the oven.
