Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 204
Mr. Balkun says that Seneran, the head of the Magic Library, is his business partner..
"I provide the technology and they provide the capital.."
In words, it is a form of collaboration that can be seen everywhere, but in reality, the products they made together were not common..
majanggeum.
Making what is the exclusive property of demons usable by humans and laying the foundation for humans to realize their magical powers. From a general perspective, what the two people are dreaming can be said to be very illusory..
Whether it's nonsense or not, from my perspective, the first thing that came to mind when I heard that story was Mr. Widra, my future teacher..
"Is the court wizard Widra also there??"
"hmm? no. That's not true. There is an opportunity to make contact with such a person...."
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!"
"...hey. I don't know what you're talking about, so blow your nose and talk.."
I wasn't the only one looking at Seneran in embarrassment as he suddenly started crying, holding onto his trouser legs. Mr. Balkun was also scratching the back of her head and looking at her in a state that was close to being speechless. Considering that they raised their voices earlier and fought, it seems like their relationship isn't that bad..
"Well... I guess since I'm a human, my lifeline is a bit short. Then, it seemed like he suffered from anxiety in many ways.."
Meanwhile, I ended up buying a music box, and later on, he came to pick up the Majanggeum weapon with the intention of finding me and asking for my cooperation in various experiments, and then he heard that it had been sold. The story unfolded until I arrived. Actually, I need to hear this from the person involved, but the person involved is such a mess right now that I can't understand it..
Still, I guess my head is straight! Seneran blew his nose and opened his mouth again..
"Even though I visited him several times, he wouldn't even meet me, let alone greet me at the door.!!"
"...ah."
Now that I think about it, you said that you were frustrated in many ways and gave up a lot of things. I guess I didn't even get to meet him properly during that time..
for a moment? So does this mean that this person turned black and built a magic library and became a slave to capitalism? They say he's making a lot of money by even acting as a patron for a dwarven blacksmith. What kind of crazy talent is this??
"I think it's probably because of me, but my teacher also had his own circumstances, so please understand.."
"...what? teacher? Are you that human disciple? But why call it that way??"
"I haven't officially become a priest yet.?"
"......Hey, can I hear more details??"
Correct. I don't think I've got my head straight. Just now, he was dragging his feet and complaining, but seeing him change his attitude like this makes me feel anxious..
"By the way... it's magical power. That's right. He wasn't an Auror."
Anyway, if you use Aurors skillfully, they won't be noticeable, so I was planning to just shoot them and pretend that I was an Auror, but the opponent was a Seneran who was devoting his life to magic research like Mr. Widra, so I got caught without even being able to cheat. If it weren't for that, I would have been very happy with the fact that I could use it the way I wanted..
Still, I had no choice but to smile awkwardly and apologize to Mr. Balkun, who spoke in a lowered voice with a hint of age..
"sorry. Because it is a matter that cannot be easily discussed,."
"Nope. It's a natural decision. Do you know about Gin??"
"no. Mr. Gin doesn’t know either.."
"hmm. I understand. I will watch my mouth. For something like this, it's okay to be careful a hundred times.."
While I was impressed by Mr. Balkun, a living civilization of this era who would have proudly ranked first on the continent if there had been a customer satisfaction service evaluation, Seneran realized that he had been ignored and began to droop again, holding on to his trouser legs..
"Don't ignore it! Tell me a story! This is a business where we can only benefit each other.!"
"No, I thought that music box would be very useful, so I am grateful that they made it and sold it. Isn’t that that and this? We saw each other for the first time today. Why don't you keep some distance??"
"Distance does not improve research results! please!"
"It's going to spin, really.."
They say he's a golden wizard or something, and he's a very successful wizard. But he can become so desperate just by discovering a magic user. Apparently her wealth and her fame are not that important to her. Still, seeing as she doesn't force herself, it seems like her personality is well established....
"Is it because you don't know how special you are? Or even if they know, they don't care because it's other people's business! If there were two more people like you on the continent, I wouldn't have gone through this trouble.!"
"Well, that's right. It seems true that I am a very useful resource for you. Still, wouldn't it be polite to clearly state what benefit you can give me and then stick to it??"
"I'll give you everything!"
"...to? what?"
"I'll give you everything! I'll give you everything except what I need for my research.!"
I was really starting to get scared. What was in Seneran's eyes was clearly madness..
When I stepped back, disgusted by those gazes, Mr. Balkun shook his head and fed Seneran some honey chestnuts while at the same time stepping in between us..
"Human, come to your senses.!"
"I'm more sane than I've ever been in my life!"
"I lost my senses when I saw you spouting nonsense. Is there any guarantee that your research will yield results with Eldmia's help? Without that certainty, are you giving me everything except what I need for research? And what if you fail? How will you save money this time to prepare for the next research??"
"Money is an infinite good, but time is a finite good.!"
"I'll be amazed."
I would be thrilled too. Isn't that a situation where words make sense? It would be no surprise if the eyeballs started spinning behind the glasses right away. I never thought having a woman hold my ankle would be a bad experience, but now she's realizing in real time that that was a completely wrong idea..
In the end, unable to bear the burden, I decided to run away..
"Well, look. I'm a bit busy today, right? let's talk next time."
"Oh, no! Why are you busy? Who's busy?"
Of course, Seneran was not an easy opponent to fall for something like that..
"No, we met for the first time today! What are you so curious about? This must be an invasion of privacy!"
"My, I will help you! So please help me too!"
"How can you help me...?"
This lady was the library director, right? Does this mean that if you really want this, the universe will help you??
"Now that I think about it, I think we could maintain a pretty good partnership. Do you know how to sign an engraving contract??"
◈
Fortunately, Seneran, who accompanied me after not paying attention to my sudden change of attitude and accepting in a manly manner, knew how to sign an engraving contract..
"There is no particular reason why the number of wizards who can sign engraving contracts is limited. This is because in order to provide deterrence to the opponent, you either need a lot of mana or you need to know how to configure the spell in more detail.."
In short, I was looking at her blankly as she casually declared, "You are an exception." It was Seneran who was looking at me like he was seeing all the strange people. It seems that there is a gap between us caused by a small misunderstanding..
"I don't know much about magic yet. Because I can't use mana."
"What, then you have almost no magical knowledge??"
"It's not that I don't know at all... In theory, it's still at a low level.?"
Even if I knew more than that, I couldn't use it, so I neglected my studies. It was only recently that I realized that I shouldn't do that, so I started studying again, but since I don't have a genius brain, I wasn't able to achieve great results in a short period of time..
After seeing my reaction, Seneran nodded as if he understood something and started explaining..
"As is commonly known in the world, the reason you have to go to a place like a library to engrave an engraving contract is because most people do not have an overwhelming amount of mana to unilaterally engrave an engraving on the other person. In the case of warriors, most of them cannot handle mana at all. The more this happens, the greater the demand for a third party who can use sophisticated techniques to reduce the mana required and engrave the engraving efficiently. But since you're using magic power, you've already been crushed in total. It's just my guess, but even a rough engraving would work.?"
To be honest, if it weren't for Merdella, the imprint contract was an element that would have had no reason to appear in my life for a while, so it was very unfamiliar content. Rather than pretending to know something, I decided to proudly reveal what I don't know..
"I had no idea what the structure was.."
Normally, in situations like this, the reaction would be something like I can't believe it or that I'm stupid, but surprisingly, Seneran just nodded normally and continued talking..
"That's basically what magic is. Even if they know about a watermill, most people don't know what the mechanical structure is like. Still, you and I are both lucky. In the process of engraving the engraving contract, the wizard who is helping you next to you will have noticed an abnormality in your body.."
"...Do you mean horsepower??"
"that's right. It's not a perfect analogy, but it feels similar to trying to extract mana from a healthy person and feeling like you're refining the mana out of thin air. Luckily, now that I'm involved, you can keep your secret. I'm glad to have the opportunity to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with you. Isn’t this fate??"
The person who looked like he was going into a state of mental confusion earlier was a Seneran who was very calm and carrying on a normal conversation. Of course, I could sense that she was implicitly trying to get my help by appealing to her needs in conversation... but considering Ms. Withra's case, it was not hard to understand how desperate she must have been, so it was at a level that was acceptable. . Actually, just the explanation of engraving was useful enough..
"But where are we going??"
However, I'm worried that if I focus on one thing, I'm indifferent to the rest, which seems to be my natural personality..
"...I'm on my way to the home of Margrave Levien.."
"...? Why are you there??"
"Originally, I was going to ask Margrave Levien for help. I am a disciple of Lord Radnellbandes.."
"Grand Battle Mage Radnellbandes? Are you a bit too extraordinary... wait? What did you say your name was??"
Strangely, it's not that there are any screws missing, but I feel anxious as if there are only a few screws that are properly installed. Still, I pushed back the disbelief that I had already come this far and introduced myself again..
"It's called Eldmia Ega.."
"Eldmia? Oh...? Ahhh!"
Then Seneran, who rolled his eyes and tilted his head for a moment, jumped up and shouted..
"You are Levien's guillotine.!"
Even Gish called me that at the Envelde mansion. I guess that has become my nickname..
Seriously, why am I the only one who doesn’t know my nickname?.
