Magic Maker – How to make magic in another world –

Chapter 158   Thank you for everything

A room in the Goltba estate.

In the slightly spacious living room, there is myself, my sister, Winona, and the Count.

The curtains are closed, making it somewhat dark even though it’s morning.

Winona, sitting on the sofa, timidly shrinks her body.

“I-I’m sorry for this, for my sake…”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s a rare request from Winona. I’m actually happy about it.”

“Yeah, it’s the first time, so we should do something like this.”

“Yes, I understand. I was moved the first time too! I want Miss Winona to experience that excitement as well.”

We nodded at each other and shared a laugh.

Winona, who had initially been reserved, naturally loosened up.

“T-Thank you very much.”

Winona bows her head dramatically.

My sister, the Count, and I exchange glances and smile.

“Alright, let’s get started.”

Facing the three seated on the sofa, I stand up.

With palms facing upward, I channel magic.

The light of magic emanates from my palms, a magical emission fueled by gathered magic.

The magic swirls around the room and emits countless small lights.

It looks somewhat like fairies.

As the lights of magic head towards the ceiling, I release even more magic.

Countless small orbs of faint white light float throughout the room.

“I can see… I can see it…!”

Winona strained her voice, almost on the verge of tears.

In her voice filled with joy, my chest tightened.

The lights of magic continued to emerge one after another.

They drifted around the room, bursting like fireworks.

Countless lights adorned the room like a starry sky.

“It’s beautiful… truly beautiful…”

Winona was enchanted.

My sister and the Count beside her were delighted.

But it’s not over yet.

Winona isn’t the only one I can impress.

Here we go.

Watch closely now!

With both hands releasing magic, I generated oral magic.

White and faint light emitted from my hands.

A variety of colored magical lights simultaneously emitted from my mouth.

“What? What? What’s going on!?”

“What in the world…!?”

Oral magic emerged one after another, floating gently.

Magic of the same color gathered, gradually increasing in mass.

Various sizes and colors of magical lights filled the room.

I raised my hand, which held the spark of lightning, towards the ceiling.

“Flames arise!”

It wasn’t just words; it was an incantation.

Along with the incantation, red magic emerged from my mouth.

Unlike the ordinary oral magic I had used earlier, it contained dense magical power.

Yes, using an incantation with oral magic makes it stronger.

Presumably, infusing emotions and strong intentions into the words makes it more powerful.

It could be likened to the power of spoken words or spiritual words.

By infusing magic into the words themselves, oral magic becomes stronger and denser.

The red magic gathered in an instant into my raised hand.

Without using belt magic or gathering magic, I struck the flint attached to the tip of the Raika.

Sparks from the red magic touched it, and a blue flame burst forth.

A flare.

Compared to gathering magic, oral magic has less magical power.

However, this time the flare was more powerful than the one I showed Winona yesterday.

I was a bit surprised.

Yesterday, I used five sources of magic and recited a long incantation to cast the flare.

But this time, it was just one source of red magic.

Yet, the power increased.

This means!

Yes, that’s it!

Magic attribute!

The magical colors of oral magic have attributes, and using magic with those attributes increases its power!?

If that’s the case, it means I’ve acquired both an incantation and an attribute simultaneously!

This is amazing.

This is incredibly amazing!!

Although I was getting so excited that I was losing my vocabulary, I somehow managed to feign composure.

“Hehehehe.”

I suppressed my usual laughter as much as possible.

I was desperate not to disturb Winona, who was the main focus.

It seemed to have paid off, as it appeared that no one heard my voice.

Then, all the magic disappeared.

Silence filled the room, and I slowly opened the curtains.

“How was it, Winona? Did you see everything?”

“I-it was a-amazing…!

I-I saw… everything.”

Winona seemed stunned.

It seemed that she had indeed awakened to magic after the events of yesterday.

If you awaken to magic, you can see magic.

Winona had become able to use magic.

“Congratulations, Winona! You’re a magic user from today!”

I applauded, genuinely celebrating.

Both my sister and the count also clapped in a similar manner.

Winona was taken aback at first but soon shed tears of joy.

“Th-thank you so much… I’m truly happy…”

“You’ve worked hard for this moment. I’m so happy for you, Winona.”

“Congratulations, Miss Winona! Oh, what a joyous occasion!”

My sister and the count nodded happily several times.

“Winona, congratulations. Really, congratulations. Your efforts have paid off, and I’m happy too.”

“Thank you very much. This is all thanks to you, Shion-sama, and everyone.”

Just seeing Winona, crying and smiling at the same time, warmed my heart. It felt like happiness.

“However, what was that oral magic earlier?”

“Yeah, what was that? How could you release magic simultaneously? Also, you were speaking out loud, but what was that about?”

“Hehe, well, you see—”

I briefly explained to both of them. As a prerequisite for learning the fairy language, I had successfully released oral magic. However, I had never used both external magic and internal magic simultaneously. It was probably due to my fixation on magic itself.

There is an approach to magic release that involves dividing the magic. It means kneading the magic once, gathering it in one place, and then dividing it into two. Usually, it’s done with both hands or both feet, and it’s rare to gather magic elsewhere, let alone split it into three or more places. This is because gathering or releasing magic in a place where concentration is difficult leads to inefficient magic use.

I recalled the early days of learning magic. Being right-handed, it was easier for me to gather magic in my right hand than my left. From this premise, it became natural for me to use both hands and feet when handling magic. However, magic could be released not only from hands or feet but from anywhere in the body. After all, magic itself imbued magic throughout the body, so it was natural.

However, since I had been accustomed to releasing magic only from both hands and feet, I never thought that external and internal magic could be released simultaneously. Therefore, when using oral magic, I only used oral magic, and when using magic collection, I only used them. But things were different. Internal and external magic could indeed be used simultaneously.

After explaining this, my sister effortlessly demonstrated the simultaneous use of internal and external magic. Magic was released from her hands and mouth. The count also released magic simultaneously, but it seemed quite unstable.

“I see, that makes sense.”

“Hmm, I see, I see. Certainly, it can be done simultaneously… Oh, a bit dizzy.”

“I understand it’s easy once you know how. If you can already manipulate magic, anyone can do it. Oh, Count, that’s about enough. You might faint again.”

“P-please spare me. I think I’ll stop here.”

During this exchange, Winona was groaning while looking at her palms.

“Mmm! Mmm! Phew… I guess I still can’t use magic collection…”

“Magic manipulation is more challenging than oral magic, and it requires a considerable amount of magic. Probably, you need to increase your basic total magic amount before you can do it.”

“I see… but I can still use oral magic!”

With joy, Winona released several pieces of oral magic.

“Try not to use it too much, okay? Probably, if your total magic amount is low, you might faint before entering a lethargic state.”

“Y-yes, that’s right. I’ll be careful. Yes, I’ll be careful.”

The latter part was more like saying it to myself. It looked cute but a bit precarious, like a child who had just acquired a new toy. Oh well, what a predicament. …Huh? Did I just get a retort from somewhere? Maybe it’s just my imagination.

“Hey, Shion. I understand that you can release internal and external magic simultaneously, but what about the relationship between magic color and oral magic, and those words?”

“Hehehe! You noticed well, sister! That’s the important, hehe, part, hehe!”

“This is quite serious… the hehe mode won’t stop.”

“I understand! It’s exciting to make discoveries during research!”

“Hehe… phew, let’s calm down a bit. So, in other words—”

I explained the difference between oral magic used for the fairy language and oral magic used for spells, as well as the characteristics of oral magic when using human language. Since this was as I had thought yesterday, I’ll omit the details.

“I see, spells… so, if you use spells, you can use magic with less magic and simpler magic manipulation.”

“That’s right! Moreover, the amount of magic released for internal and external magic is different!”

“Huh? S-so, that means you can use more magic at once!?”

The amount of magic I could release at once was about ten thousand. This was one-hundredth of my total magic, which is one million. In other words, it meant that I couldn’t use magic with more magic than this. Of course, after releasing magic once, you could repeatedly add magic to increase the amount of magic. However, this was laborious, and, above all, the released magic disappeared within a few seconds to ten seconds. It was extremely inefficient, and the effect was weak and time-consuming. However, with oral magic, or using spells, the pure amount of magic released increased.

“Moreover, the nature and amount of magic change depending on the content of the words and the emotions and intentions put into them. And the magic color has characteristics, and each color mixes to create a new color. The characteristics of that magic color itself are inherent in the magic! Just now, it was a Flare, or a [Fire-attribute] magic, but probably using the red magic of the same attribute made it more powerful!”

“I see, so that’s the attribute you mentioned earlier?”

“That’s right! Depending on the combination of words, the power of magic may change, and there might be different possibilities! And perhaps even people with low magic might be able to use magic with spells! It’s a huge discovery in the world of magic! The potential of magic has expanded dramatically! Spells and attributes are a big breakthrough in magic! Hehehehe!!”

I came up with a way to simultaneously utilize two oral magics.

In the realm of creative works and magical games, spells and attributes are considered basic elements. However, I never imagined that they could be practically applied. Looking back, I got the idea of magic release from Trouts, and that turned into non-chanting magic. Normally, it should be the other way around. Generally, ordinary spellcasters use spells for magic, and non-chanting magic is a more advanced technique, not something anyone can do. However, I initially developed non-chanting magic and thought of it as a standard form of magic. Later on, I developed spells—chanting magic.

“From now on, I’ll call magic that uses spells ‘Chanting Magic.’ I’ll call magic that doesn’t use spells ‘Non-Chanting Magic’!”

Uttering this sent shivers down my spine. This was truly amazing. I never expected that my analysis of the fairy language would lead to spells. I was trembling. I was trembling with excitement!

Magic! Magic! Magic!!!

“Hehe, hehehe! I, I can’t stop laughing… hehehe! Hehe!”

“T-this is an unprecedented level of hehe… laughter…”

“It seems that you are truly delighted! I’m delighted as well, Shion sensei! This is splendid, truly splendid achievement!

Wow, I can’t contain my joy either! Congratulations, Shion sensei! And to you too, Lady Winona!”

As our excitement reached its peak, the Count and I inexplicably clasped hands. And, propelled by that momentum, the Count also took Winona and Marie’s hands.

“Wait, wait!”

“Eek!”

“Let’s dance! Let’s dance!”

“Hehehe, hehehehe!”

The Count and I, despite being unfamiliar with it, showcased a dance of joy. Everyone joined hands and started twirling in place.

“Well, it can’t be helped! Hahaha!”

“Hehehe, it’s so much fun.”

At first, Sister and Winona were bewildered, but gradually, they too began to laugh.

Ah, happiness.

Thank you, otherworld.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, magic.
