Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz said he was heating the photoresist painted plate in the oven while listening to Alfania's description --,

"Look, it's a reinforcement magic circuit. You can use it if you like."

—— Alfania has been offering me a piece of paper depicting a magic circuit.

"This is the circuit used for the enchant..."

"No, not just Enchant, but if you install Demon Stone or infuse magic, you can use it as a magic formation as it is, too? Of course, I have to draw a line with magical ink, right?

"Hmmm... (Speaking of which, you haven't seen anything that could be described as a magic formation so far... Could it be something the Loricons used, like the Metastatic Magic Formation?

The only magic formation Waltz had ever seen was the one used by those under the Altair flag to activate the transfer magic. In other words, this was her first time seeing a magic formation with effects other than metastasis.

Despite the world full of magic and magic props, Waltz, who had hardly ever seen the magic formation, seemed to have questioned nature.... more, I was wondering if we could see magic formations in different places.

She therefore asks against Alfania.

"Hey, Alfania?

"What's the matter with you? What else do you need a magic circuit for?

"No, no, that's enough, right? Yes, it's enough...... how come I don't really see these magic formations? Well, then, I guess you use it when you make magic props or something?

"It's a simple story. Few people can write. As I said earlier, it doesn't matter what people say to write a magic circuit, but everyone who learns to draw a circuit is too trapped in the meaning of the word to understand the essence. Well, someone who can write is someone who can, and because of the cancer that taught you the rules you know, it might be extra difficult to spread them?

"Hmm. So if there's something like a dictionary, anyone can draw it?

"It's not even that simple. For example, would there be an" A "here? Some people, depending on the way they write, are pointy A, flat A, or the lateral bar in the middle bent, straight, or broken... there are so many different ways of writing that depending on the way they write, the effect can be different."

"Sure, some people write letters that you can read, and some people have dirty letters that look like mites crawled, right? Does that mean you have to remember more details —— for example, from the way you write letters?

"If we're going to get into it firmly from the ground up, we're going to have to start there. Well, if you could do that, by now, more people would be living their lives using magic circuits —— magic formations?

"Hmm. To draw a magic formation, you're not only going to abandon preconceptions, you're going to need basic skills too... Well, not many people can use it."

Waltz said so with a convincing look on his face, recording the magic formations depicted by Alfania as data. Then using his own holographic system, he projects a magic formation as recorded on top of a plate that has been painted and cured with photoresists.

Seeing how it was, Alfania seemed to have a strange look on her face. That should be it, too. Waltz projected it because it was a magic formation of a size far smaller than the rice grain. That, too, countless masses —— no, countless. In Alfania, every one of the magic formations must have been invisible and the surface of the plate must have just seemed thin and glowing.

"... All right! Now whoa."

"What are you doing?

"What? I'm just drawing a magic formation? Enchants have to be small and magical, don't they?

"... I don't know what you're talking about..."

"You don't know? Here, take a look."

That's what I said. Waltz builds a ring with his index finger and thumb, expands a gravitational lens inside it, and builds a simple magnifying glass. As she moved that hand into a position visible from Alfania, she was made to observe how a purple glowing magic formation was projected onto the surface of the plate.

As a result, Alfania's expression stains a startling color.

"What... this..."

"Magic? Magic. What's the name of science?

"Science...! ♪ Shiny

When Waltz only answered "science" in a throwing manner, whether the detailed explanation had become a hassle, Alfania sparkled her eyes like never before. Apparently, she had a strong interest in something called science.

But Waltz apparently tried and decided not to care, and kept his hands moving. Because if I left the photoresist after the exposure, it would expose me to the extra part, so I needed to rush the work.

Waltz soaked the two plates - the Orihalcon alloy plates and the plates of ordinary alloy plates - each having finished exposure into a dissolved container with a solution of alkalinity. Then, only the affected part of the ultraviolet light, the photoresist flutters and peels off, exposing the magic ink underneath it to the table.

Waltz, who saw it, when he took the plate out of the container, washed the surface of the plate with water to make it neutral, and then soaked it into a container with mana this time. In the container, shaking the plate several times, now unwanted magic ink dissolves from the surface of the plate into the mana--,

"... Yes, done!

—— As Waltz thought, it appears that the magic circuit was transcribed on the board.
