My First Trip was to Another World

"That? Which way did Mr. Coe go?

"Ah, Luna. Good day. I went to King's Landing by myself. He said he was going to go fix his usual coat. Because it stands out in a gold coat."

I asked Mr. Claire, who was cleaning the castle. While I was cleaning up after dinner, Mr. Coe's signs disappeared from the castle.

Elminsur's castle is huge, but not enough to keep up with the signs. Mr. Coe must have used metastatic magic.

"Really..."

"He said he'd be home soon, but what could I do for you?

"No. He didn't seem to be anywhere, so I was curious."

It's not uncommon to behave differently from Mr. Coe. But if you want to go out, you can call me...

"If you care, you can contact me on your smartphone."

"It doesn't mean it's urgent, and it's okay."

I'm not worried because I'll be in touch in case of an emergency. I just wanted to go, too, if you're going out.

If you're not here, shall we be free for one day today?

... I'm free. I have nothing to do. Mr. Claire will do all the cleaning, and the elves will be here to help clean it. I'm not originally a good cleaner, and I shouldn't have extra handouts, should I?

Looks like Mr. Irvin is practicing revolvers outside, and Mr. Lumia is asleep. I can't get in the way of the two of you.

If so, is it Mr. Lily? I'm probably researching demonic props, so let me join you.

I came to the room that Mr. Lily uses to experiment.

"Mr. Lily. Is there anything I can do to help?

Mr. Lily is a little heterogeneous among court magicians. I leave the making of the magic props to the specialist clerk for each process, but only Lily can do all the processes by herself.

I did all the good enchants at the Magic Academy, except for the story when it comes to hobbies. Seems like I make anything by myself. Sometimes demonic props made out of hobbies are as amazing as they get on the market.

"Oh, Luna. I'm on time now. Get some rest."

I was turned down. That's right...... Because research is better done by one person.

I have no choice. Let Mr. Leeds deal with him. But Mr. Leeds is too well, so you don't have the strength to play with him...

When I hung my hand on Mr. Lily's room door, the door suddenly opened.

"Lily! I'm done!

From that door, Mr. Leeds jumped in fine.

"Mr. Leeds, what are you doing?

"Ah, Luna. I helped Lily."

Huh? Are you asking Mr. Leeds to turn down my help? I'm a little unconvinced. Even though I am confident in making magic props.

"If Mr. Leeds is going to help, I can help, right?

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to exclude you. Luna's busy preparing meals, isn't she? That's why I asked Leeds, who seems free."

Mr. Lily looks sorry. Was the dissatisfaction on your face...... We have to be careful.

What Mr. Lilly was making was a magic prop that he had been studying since he was in the Magic Institute. Mr. Lillii called it a 'lift'. It looks like a big wooden board, and I'm talking about floating in the universe with things on it.

Once this is done, it will be a groundbreaking magic tool that allows you to come and go upstairs without stairs. Mr. Coe is going to be happy.

But I showed you the prototype once...... The next moment I thought I floated in space, I flew across the sky. If people were on board, it would have been catastrophic.

Will it be all right today......

"All right. We're ready. Let's try it."

"Don't you have to be outside?

Last time it was outdoors, but now it's inside Mr. Lily's lab.

"If you fly somewhere, you won't be able to retrieve the prototype. It's safe to fail indoors."

Sure, you don't have to worry about going somewhere because even if you go too far up there, it stops at the ceiling.

The lift starts only by gently passing magic. Same as the lamp. Depending on the amount of magic you put through at startup, they say the amount of time you're floating in the universe extends.

I just passed the magic. It's an experiment, so just a little......

"Shh! Pa!

The plate in front of me hit the ceiling with tremendous momentum and shattered. Fine wood chips splash all over the room.

"... are you going to ride this?

"No... this shouldn't be..."

"A normal person would die."

Whatever you think, it's a failure. Mr. Leeds is right, if a normal person gets on this, he dies. What's wrong......

"Could you show me the magic formation?

"Oh, right. I feel safer having Luna design it for me. I got it."

I received one note from Lily and checked the contents. You're set to enhance to the limit...... It's like Mr. Coe gave his mouth to the design.

Ms. Coe always says, 'If you can be strong, let's strengthen it to the limit'. The result is so much that just a vacuum cleaner becomes a weapon...... It's always a little too much.

"Is this Mr. Coe's instruction?

"You're not. It's my own design. What made you think that?

"It's too strong. Please weaken the output more. Sounds like Mr. Coe's design, doesn't it?

"Whew... is that true? That's awkward......"

Looks like Mr. Lily is really reflecting. That's unusual...... You may have just said too much.

If I were you, I'd say, 'Let's make it to the moon' or something. If it's enough to hit the ceiling with momentum, it's still within common sense.

Reconfigure to slow down and skip the next prototype.

The plate in front of me slowly went up towards the ceiling. Slowly, slowly, close to the ceiling, sticking perfectly to the ceiling.

"Um... how far will it go"

"Hmm? You'll have trouble even if I ask. This time the design will be Luna."

"That's right..."

"Pavan!"

The plate burst suddenly. Wood pieces will come down again. Apparently, he was trying to go further up while sticking to the ceiling.

"Ha ha! If I'd been on that thing, I'd be dead!

Mr. Leeds says with a smile, but that's not what you say with a laugh.

But it doesn't seem like it's something people can ride after all. It's a failure.

"Shall we prototype again..."

"Yeah. Sounds awkward if you don't weaken the power to try to get up too."

This is the third prototype. Now I've lowered all the outputs.

When I started the lift, it floated and stopped in the air. It's a success for one thing.

"You're doing well"

"Well, let's get on with it"

"Yes! I'll ride!

I waited for it to fall out of magic, and Mr. Leeds rode.

I started it the same way again, but the board doesn't even work with Pickle.

"Leeds, did you weigh too much..."

"No. Yikes! It's not heavy.

Mr Leeds is desperately disputing it. It's not about Mr. Leeds' weight, is it? Looks like he made it too weak this time.

"Shall I turn up the output a little more..."

"Hmm. Right."

It's hard to adjust....... I'll modify and try the third prototype, but I hope it's time to be successful.

"Bye, Leeds. Get in."

"Uh... no"

You still seem to care that you didn't float earlier. Even though it's not Mr. Reese's weight.

Mr. Leeds hated it, so now I'll try to get on the board.

When I started the lift, my vision flowed with tremendous momentum. I made it too strong. It's awkward. We need to get down fast......!

"Whoops! Danger!

Along with the shouting, Mr. Coe ran into the room. The moment I hit the ceiling, I hugged my body and went down to the floor. I accidentally blush while being held in Mr. Coe's chest.

"Thank you......"

"What are you doing? You almost got hurt."

Mr. Coe looks at me worried. Looks like my face got even hotter......

"It's an experiment with a new magic trick. Thank you. It didn't work out."

When Mr. Lilly explained the lift, Mr. Coe nodded as he was convinced.

"I see. You were trying to build an elevator. But why bother doing it indoors? You'd be safe out there, wouldn't you?

"No matter how many times you try it, you fly high in the sky and you can't retrieve the prototype. I thought indoors would stop at the ceiling..."

"Oh, that's dangerous. Don't try to get on with that stuff. There's any way to get a stone of the same weight as a person, right?

"Ah... right. I was obsessed with the experiment and didn't realize it. I'll be careful from next time."

You should have put a stone on it...... Then you don't have to worry about getting hurt, and Mr. Leeds didn't have to get hurt extra.

"Next time, I'll be there for the experiment. Don't experiment on your own."

Ms. Coe declared to teach everyone with a serious face, but then whispered. It sounded like a hug to me.

"Don't shut me up about something that sounds so funny..."

You were made an excommunication, and you missed me. Neither did I. I know how that feels. That's it for today, but starting next time, Mr. Coe will be doing experiments with you.

By the way, she couldn't repair Mr. Coe's coat. It was too broken. She didn't buy a new coat, so it looks like she'll be spending the rest of her time wearing a gold coat. I feel a little too flashy, but I think it suits you well.
