I had gotten useful information from Roland, and I had transitioned to the mountain where the spring I went with Bartolo was located.

　There, the air was just as tranquil as when I had come before.

　There was a beautiful, clear lake in front of us, and the mosses that were thriving in the area looked bright and colorful.

　Since I was at the top, my line of sight was very high, and if I turned around, I could glower at the forest and plains from the mountains.

　In the distance, a building that looked like his mansion was vaguely visible.

　Bartolo had said that after all the hardships he'd gone through, the view he could see was more beautiful, but it's still beautiful enough now that he's transitioned.

　Yes, the hardships of before seem to be hazy, but that's what made the transition possible. It's not like all that hard work was in vain. I'll try to think of it that way.

　For now, there is clean water in front of me, so I sip it with both hands and drink it.

　The cool, natural water goes down my throat and quenches my thirst.

'Oh, it tastes so good,'

　He hadn't soberly rehydrated since he left the mansion, so he was surprisingly thirsty.

　As it was, he sipped and drank two or three times, and his body was finally satisfied.

　Now, the mountain Roland was talking about was one further back than this one.

　If you look in the opposite direction from the village of Colliat, there is another huge mountain there.

　As far as size goes, it's probably bigger than this mountain. Even though we are near the top of this one, we have to look up a little bit to see it.

　But it's visible enough. If you can see it, then transference is possible.

　You can transfer even if you continue to see it with the naked eye and burn an image into it, but it's better to see it clearly.

　When I slowly gathered the magic power in my eyes, I could see clearly in the distance, as if I was looking through binoculars.

　I heard that the small fish I'd heard about are in the upper to midstream rivers, so I want to find the river first. If possible, I'd like to transition to the side of the river to make it easier, instead of wandering around the mountains looking for it.

　I desperately move my gaze. But on a quick glance, I can't find it.

　Perhaps there is a river a little further back.

　Thinking so, I concentrate my magic power further and look deeper into the trees.

　Then I saw what looked like water flowing faintly.

''There it is!''

　Gradually reduce the magnification from there and you'll see where it is.

　Find a nearby flat area that is easy to transfer to and stare at it and burn the image into it.

　Once that's done, I activate spatial magic and wrap my body in magic.

''Okay, transference!''

　The moment I muttered that, my vision switched gingerly and I found myself in the mountains.

　There was no clear lake in front of me, but rather long, warped trees and the ground.

　Suddenly, I look forward and see the mountain where I would have been a moment ago.

　It's easy to see where the river is, since water is flowing from the top.

　I turn around and start walking to the other side of the river, thinking to myself.

　As far as I could see from the distance, the river was there if I walked straight ahead.

　If I just walked straight ahead, I should be able to see the river.

　After a short time, I heard the sound of running water.

　We continued onward in the direction of the sound, and found a beautiful clear stream.

　The current upstream was steeper and more rocky, but the area where I was located was just as calm.

'The river over here is beautiful too,'

　The water in the mountain where the spring was located was also beautiful, but this one was not to be outdone.

　Even from a distance, the water was crystal clear and we could clearly see the stones at the bottom and the fishes swimming in the water.

　I guess the vein of water in the village of Koliat is very clear and clean.

　I think so even more so since I have dived four times in the river today alone.

I wondered where the fish Roland was referring to were.

　As I recall, it's a small fish with a blue or red back.

　It would be easy to recognize them if they were so transparent.

　I looked around, but there was no such fish in sight, only a char-like fish.

　I wondered if there were any fish near the shore.

　However, because the river is quite wide, we could only see the fish near the shore.

　The light in the middle of the river reflected off the shore and made it dazzling.

　What's useful in situations like this is a shield.

　I create a transparent rectangular magic shield and continuously deploy it on a flat surface.

　I fix it to the surface of the water and create a bridge for the shield.

　I put my feet on it, and oh my goodness. I can walk on the surface of the water without falling.

　Walking gracefully on the shield that has been deployed on the surface of the water, I observe the water.

　Then I see things like red and blue moving there.

　I proceeded to deploy a new foothold and saw brightly colored blues and reds moving around there.

　Upon closer inspection, I saw a small fish the size of a goldfish swimming about in the water.

　Some of them were blue from back to belly and others were red from back to belly.

　Perhaps these were the small fish Roland was talking about.

　The colors are vivid and beautiful even just looking at them.

　The shape and size of the fish are similar to those of goldfish, and this one is good enough to be used as a small fish scooping fish.

　I activated my water magic and made a water ball to contain the small fish.

　When I lifted the water ball, I saw a pale little fish swimming leisurely in the water in front of me.

　It's beautiful just looking at them like this. Moreover, if you can eat it after you scoop it up, you won't have to throw it away.

Yeah, I guess we'll have no problem with small fish.

　Muttering with satisfaction, I set the water ball down and gently release the small fish.

　Once the aquarium and the small fish are aligned, the rest is poi.

　If the frame can be made of earth magic or wood, the problem is washi paper.

　And speaking of Japanese paper, it's the kagura used in shoji screens and the like.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　In order to transfer to Kagura immediately, I tried to picture the scene of Kagura, but what appeared in my mind was the scenery of the shrine where I played with Haru and Shuichi.

　Apparently, that place left a very strong impression on me in my memory.

　When I remembered the events in Kagura, it made me laugh and it made me feel nostalgic.

　The location of the shrine is a long way from the shopping district, and it's not the right destination.

　However, I inexplicably wanted to see the view from the shrine, so I decided to transition there.

'Come to think of it, this is the first time I've transitioned to Kagura. It's possible to try esports and relaying, but let's just go to Kagura at once here.......

　If you don't have enough magic power, you'll just fail and become a dud, and there's no need to freak out.

　Rather, we should try it out as a study of transference.

　The moment you arrive at Kagura, if you run out of magic power or something, it's a bad idea, but the feeling of being transferred to the capital is that you have a lot of room to spare, so you'll do fine.

　With that in mind, I activated the transfer while picturing the scene of the shrine.
