6-Space magic and beetles




I love being able to get around on my feet.

After finishing the morning meal, we walk around the mansion with a light step.

Usually a day is two meals a day, lunch and dinner, but me and my sister Elinora go into the kitchen and get bread and leftovers.

We're kids and we're not getting enough nutrition, like two meals a day. Elinora's sister gets great mileage simply because she's so physically active. That's different.

'And yet, when you couldn't walk, it was so inconvenient to do anything.

I mutter, deeply moved. When I was a baby, I had a hard time taking away a single book.

That's why people thought I was a weird kid.

Today, I'm going to read more books.

I went into the study and found my brother, Silvio, in the room.

Elinora is nine years old.
Silvio is six years old.
I'm three years old.

Are my parents going for a clean shot?
No, but I'm three years old and I don't have a brother or sister. Well, I think two or three children would be just fine.

Brother Silvio is sitting in a chair reading a book.

Brother Silvio's appearance is very similar to Father Nord's. He has blond hair and blue eyes. His personality is also rather soft. And most importantly, he has a good-looking face. He is sure to be a ladies' man in the future.

In contrast to Elinora's sister's interest in swords, Silvio's brother is interested in books and studies.
It seems that they've turned out to be the exact opposite of each other beautifully.

Well, I feel like that's Elinora sister's fault.
If you beat up Silvio-san that much, though.

Elinora sister loves swords and wants to become a knight in the future.
In this day and age of strong male dominance, it seems difficult for a woman to become a knight, but it seems that Elinora's sister is very talented with a sword.

I'm sure that Nord-Dad wanted her to become more educated and involved in domestic politics at first, but because he is so serious about it, and because of his talent with the sword, he is now teaching her the sword.

And I'm supposed to be interested in magic, for one thing.
It's so much better now that Elna mom teaches me sometimes.

'Do you read books too, Al?'

'Yeah, there's a lot of stuff I can't read, but it's interesting.

Yeah? Al speaks the language well, and I'm sure he can read, but if there's anything you don't understand, just ask.

When he says that, Brother Silvio chuckles and turns his attention back to the book again. Are you really a six year old boy!

Brother Silvio, unlike sister Elinora, is quiet and kind.

He doesn't hit me.




ーー.

After eating lunch, I turn towards the forest to practice my magic. The purpose is to practice magic.

I've heard there are demons in this world, but there aren't many in the village of Coriat.

And it's safe to say that my dad and the vigilantes frequently thwart me.

I thought they would just pompously appear like in a game, but if they show up in the countryside like this, they'll destroy the human race.

However, I've heard that areas with strong magic, or certain forests are swarming with demons. It's too dangerous.



ーーー.




Okay, we're here. I'm not going to go deep into the forest because there are demons in there and they'll be mad at me if I go in there.

So I'm converting the slightly open area right after I enter into a secret base.

I cut down the trees that are in the way, and made a desk and chairs raised with earth magic, a simple house, and then there's just a target.

If you're a man, it's your own space. You've always wanted a secret base, haven't you? A comfortable place where no one knows you're there. I used to make that a lot in the past.

Well, today I'm going to try my hand at spatial magic. I haven't tried it before because I didn't have enough magic to focus on increasing it, and I've been too preoccupied with other magic, but with my current amount of magic, I should be able to do it in plenty of time.

I don't know the specific amount of magic power, but I've increased it five times since I was a year old. If this is impossible, it's just too bad for fuel economy.

Okay, first we need to visualize where we want to transfer to. It's our first step, so let's make it a short distance.

I'm in my hut, so let's go outside on the table made of earth magic.

Not me? I'm going to transfer a rock to it. It's a hurdle, like human transference all of a sudden. Even if it fails, it's a tough sell.

I put in many times the usual amount of magical power.
Then the magic power envelops the stone in your hand and it takes on a light blue light.


Then you turn your eyes to the table.

Transition!

When I say a few words, the stone in my hand disappears in a flash.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

A pebble appears out of the void in my line of sight and falls to the table and rolls around. The time lag is almost imperceptible.

Suppressing my surging excitement, I gather more stones, branches, leaves, sand, and whatever else I can find and transfer them onto the table and chairs.

'Whoa! Wow! That's God!

Great, great! There's still some misalignment, but I could really transfer things!
With all this power, you don't have to clean up and carry your stuff! And we can fight back without sister Elinora finding out! This is great!

The first thing that came to mind for me was whether this is a peaceful or stupid thing to do.

Yeah, come to think of it, we can make more money on transportation and such. I'll have to look into it for a bit of graceful slow life!

Okay, now for the research. I wonder what kind of rules are in place.

I thought the amount of magic consumed by a stone and a leaf was different.

This time, I'm holding a large, heavy stone that even I can barely hold with both hands.

Mu Mu Mu Mu. It's so heavy!

Magicians!

Whew, this stone was too heavy for a three-year-old's body, so I strengthened it by putting magic power all over it.

But if I do this for a long time, my muscles will get sore, and it's still hard on a three-year-old, but I can handle it for a little while.

''It! Transfer!

Koto.

Alright, it worked. We took great care to make the transition slowly on the table.
The ultimate goal is to make the transference as soft and gentle as possible, as if it were there all along.

Next, a small, light leaf. The opposite of what happened to that rock. If I'm right.

Transition!

A leaf falls from an empty space with a Hulli.

It's enough to make me believe that a leaf fell from a tree without incident.

d*mn, I wanted to put it on the table quickly....


But it's still my guess.

It turns out that the heavier and larger the object to be transposed is, the greater the consumption of magic power.

Well, it's not surprising, right?

It's weird that one person carried a heavy load and the other person carried a light load, but the person with the light load consumes more energy.

Next, a living thing. I wonder if there are any.

I peek out of the window area.
The sound of birds coming from the distance in the lush trees.

........nothing.

Giving up, I turn around and see a guy on the wall that looks like a beetle.

The reason I say "like" is because its horns are different from the beetles I know, but I guess they're similar.

I don't care if its horns look like a fork. It's a fantasy indeed.

Carefully grab the forked beetle (named).

If you think about it, it's going to sting you with fork-like horns and stuff like that....

It only flapped its legs a little when he grabbed it, and it was quiet.

'Alright, forked horseshoe! You are the first creature in the world to experience transference! You would be honored! Transfer!

The same magic power as before enveloped the forked beetle.

And the forked beetle was on the table.

'Success! You did it! Folk Kabuto!

As I run up to the forked horseshoe and share my joy, something fist-sized hits me in the head with a bang.

Huh? What? They throw rocks at you? Does the bullying start at age three? What a harsh world....

I looked up in my confused thoughts and saw a beetle (probably a female) flying in front of me, like a spoon attached to a spoon.

Maybe what I'm trying to say is, what the hell are you messing with my guy? Like.

Women are strong in every world, aren't they?


He chased me for about 30 minutes after that.






I was chased for about 30 minutes.

After being chased by the spoon beetle, I successfully transitioned to a short distance of my own.

At first, I made a mistake and transitioned into the air about a meter above the ground and got impatient.

On the way back that day, I repeated the short-range transition and returned to the mansion.

Next time, we still have a lot of work to do: long distances, over obstacles, multiple, etc.

Someday I want to be able to travel anywhere and do some shopping.
