464. Uncle and Daddy




What kind of magic did you learn?
"Um, hey, heels and ...... genesis.
A heel is a recovery spell.

 He turned around and looked at Celeste.
 Our eyes met, and Celeste nodded.

'Rudimentary recovery magic, I see.'
I see.

 I nodded, held up my thumbnail and scratched my palm.

 Red blood oozes slowly from the wound I gouged out at right angles to the life line.
 After confirming this, he spoke to Sakura again.

'Can I ask?'
"...... uncle
It's about time you stopped being an uncle. What is it?
You didn't hesitate at all, did you?
Not really, but ......

 So? I nodded my head like that and asked Sakura back.

 Sakura looked somewhat dumbfounded and mumbled, "You're a madman!

 Then she let out a single partitioning sigh and held out her hand and held it over my palm.

'Well ...... what should I do?'
"The basic idea is just to remember. You can use it by collecting 'something' from the ends of your body and chanting it as you imagine it flowing to the place where it will be used.
Is it really that easy?
If it's magic you've learned.
Nuh-uh.

 I nodded again and chanted "Heel" with a crisp face, this time.

 A soft light emitted from Sakura's upraised hand and enveloped my palm.
 The wounds I had scratched with my fingernails quickly closed up, and soon I had a strange picture of a scarless but bloody one.

'You're on the mend,'
Oh, yeah, I can do magic too, right?

 Sakura looks at her hands and is in a good mood.

 I can remember it too.
 This feeling of gradual excitement as I learn more and more about this world.
 It's like seeing my former self, and it makes me smile a little bit.

'The other one is ...... called Genesis, right?
Yes.
I don't understand this one. I don't know what kind of magic it does.
"A type of summoning magic.
Do you know, Celeste?
Oh, you're in that position.

 I was impressed, and Sakura was impressed in a different way than I was.
 In the midst of all this, my family's walking encyclopedia (Celestopedia) nodded once and then began to explain.

'It's a kind of summoning magic.'
Like my All Mighty Man?
What? Magic to summon an American comic book hero?

 Sakura took another bite.

'Ame-Komi Hiirou? What's that?
Isn't it?
No, it's a spell that summons Liuchen.
Liuchen?
'Yes! I'll show you--Ryochii!

 Alice, as usual, thrust her hands up and chanted her magic.
 The next moment, a rift appeared in space, and from the space beyond the speckled color, Ryochin appeared.

''Oh! --hahahaha, what is this, a stuffed uncle?
So I told you not to be an uncle.

 I chuckled and explained.

'All Might, not me, but a magic that summons the 'strongest' entity the user recognizes--?'

 I started to say and gave Celeste and Alice a confirming look.
 They both nodded clearly.

'So, well, that's why it was me for now.
Yeah. Interesting magic.
Was it called a summoning spell, Celeste?

 Returning to the subject, I turn my gaze to Celeste.

'Yes. It's a spell that actually summons the user's handwriting.
'You mean summoning a painting, ...... of something you've drawn?'
That's what I've heard.
'Really? Hey, hey, can I get a piece of paper and a pen?
Yeah.
I'll bring it to you.

 This time Emily ran out in a flurry and quickly returned with a pen and paper.
 Sakura took it and put the paper against the wall and ran the pen smoothly over it.

'Got it! Um, ...... Genesis!

 Then I cast a spell and a picture flashed and something jumped out of it.

"Oops.
It's Yoda.

 Emily was suddenly very excited.

 Sakura wrote and summoned me - not me - but Ryo-chin.

 To be more precise, it's a deformed version of me, a ryochin, and then something more "broken" in various ways.

 If I were to compare it to a child's Doraemon, it would be something like that.

 And it - it moves.

 And then it moves. Badmon Ree-ching is somewhat awkward, but it moves.

It's good, this is good.
The magic of making things happen as you draw them. It's very versatile.
Is it safe to knock it over?

 Now Alice asked Celeste.

'Yes. One of the characteristics of Genesis is that if you summon it and then call it back, it becomes a picture, you can still summon it from its picture state.'
Yeah, that's right.

 I moved the Sakura Haritin dude in and out once.
 It was kind of interesting to watch it get sucked into the paper once it was summoned and then re-summoned into the picture again.

'But if you get knocked down or destroyed while summoning--'

 Celeste did so, and manipulated the three bicorn horns + 9 with a string and shot Li-ching dangling from all directions.

 It was shot, and the ri-ching droid went up in flames.
 He struggled a little, but was soon extinguished.

 At the same time, the paper Sakura was holding crumbled into tatters from decay.

'It'll all go pah like this,'
I see.
What about other people's drawings?

 Sakura completely recognized Celeste as "that kind of character" and asked her as a matter of course.

'No, you can't do that, only the picture he drew.
'I see... ...... summoned it and added to it after I put it back in?'
That's ...... I don't understand.

 Once she understood the basics, Sakura now began to wonder about the applications.
 As expected, Celeste made an apologetic face, saying that she didn't understand that.

Then let's try it now. Well, first--

 Sakura ponders with paper and pen in hand.
 She would summon it once unfinished and try to make further additions and revisions. She pondered what to do for that.

 At the time she was pondering.

'Papa.'

 A familiar voice came from outside the room and Yuki jumped in.

'Welcome home, Dad.'

 Yuki stood in front of me, looking happy.
 The cute, daughter-like (、、、、) girl made me feel a little bit of an eye-roll - but I'm not sure.

'Your uncle had a child!
Gosh!

 One combined move and I've done a lot of damage to my mind.
