The Magus of Genesis

"Branches, move!

As I say, the branches of the water apple tree shake slightly.

"Flame, rise!

But the next word I threw disappeared into the void without even blurring the branches.

"Hum... O branches of water apples, stretch out and give me a leaf of wood"

If you chant that, you're right, the branch stretches all the way out and drops the leaves of the tree in my hand.

After staring at the leaves, I began chanting with temper.

"…… Darkness Water Apple, a tree of wisdom that is more forbidden than purgatory, now is the time to unleash it and give its fruit to me -"

"What are you talking about?

"Wow!?

Suddenly a voice rang from behind, I literally jumped up.

"Ni, Nina. You're early."

"I don't know what the woods are saying, so I thought it was something. What was that earlier?

Because of this, I chose the morning before sunrise so no one would see me!

No, let's calm down. To her, there's no way she understands the concept of 'cooking ni'.

It shouldn't be a problem if they were asking.

"I think he said something really weird."

That's a really good idea. This girl!!

I resented her unmatched comprehension for the first time now.

"I can't help but think you're weird. I was just trying a groundbreaking use of magic, and this could increase the power of magic by a few steps. But to use it more efficiently, you need to try different experiments, some of which seem a little odd."

"Let me say it again."

"……… Please forgive me…………."

I was clean and admitted defeat.

"Even so, it's easy to use magic as you say it."

"You noticed?

"Somehow. But I was wondering if it was just me."

Nina stretches out her arms and whispers to the tree, "Give me one nut too," she said. Then the branches stretched out and the water apple subsided in her palm in a smooth motion as if it were a man's hand.

Terrible precision.

"Apparently, the longer the spell, the more effective it will be."

"Really?

I nod proudly, apparently I didn't understand this.

"And no matter how many words you line up that have nothing to do with magic, it doesn't make sense."

"It's not natural."

This is it if you're feeling a little better.

"Well, I guess that's normal for Nina, but that's what we need to find out."

"Yeah."

In a wind that I wouldn't mind explaining, she scratches the water apple.

"Hey, the longer the better?

Well, that's what Nina asked as she came up with something.

"Yeah. I don't know what the rationale is."

When she nodded, Nina threw away the core of the water apple, closing her eyes softly.

"O tree, that which stretcheth forth roots in the earth, that which bringeth forth leaves, that which bringeth forth flowers, that which bringeth forth fruit."

It was her elf language that she hadn't heard in a long time.

"To the whispers of the wind that rocks the trees, to the whimpers of falling leaves, to the sound of the water that the roots suck up, hear my voice."

Like singing, like spinning, her words are spelled.

"Capture me with that supple arm. Deliver to me our food, our four-legged beasts, that which bounces white '

At the same time that the poem ends.

- The whole forest, it blew.

It's not easy to scratch. Trees tremble, groan, groan, and roar. The earth shakes, the birds fly away from the trees, and from somewhere the roar of the beast rings.

"Doctor, are you Obuji!?

An eye jumped up surprised by the sound and ran up to me wearing it.

The men from inside the cave are also peeking at their faces with spears.

And then...

Pough.

One rabbit was thrown out in front of Nina, feeling like it could stand even with such a light noise.

Me, Eye, the cavemen, and the rabbit herself, open their eyes without knowing what happened. The first person to move in that way was the one who caused this noise...... Nina.

"Got it!

Reaching out her arms quickly, she eagles at the rabbit's long ears. The rabbit rushes to escape, but it was already too late.

"Surprised... I can't believe this is happening"

Nina strokes her chest down while keeping the rampaging rabbit away from her body.

"I was really surprised, too."

"Nina's, was it Maho?

Eye was making his eyes black and white as he tried to cling to my forefoot.

"I didn't know the chant of the spell had so much power..."

Never use the magic of fire by chanting a spell. I made up my mind.

"Can I, too?

"It's a little early for an eye………………"

Making a spell requires a lot of vocabulary and the ability to combine it with writing.

Even Nina couldn't make spells in Japanese.

Eye has learned a lot of words, but it will still be difficult.

"Really..."

It makes me want to do something about watching her dripping, but this is all a matter of how I can do it overnight...

And, thinking that far, I flashed something.

No, I don't think so.

I don't know if it works, but it's worth a try anyway.

Success could solve all sorts of problems at once.

"All right, let's try it. Can you help me?

"Yikes!"

The morning sun finally started climbing illuminating the cheerful smile of the eye.

"It's a rough, rough jack frost that brings all the clouds together. Give me that. Follow me with your palms."

Eye casts a spell staring at the plank of my flying tree, holding a barbecue kettle in his hand. Something like white fog rose all over the pot, and my eyes clearly caught that it was cold air lowered to freezing point.

In the meantime, plug the top of the kettle with a large leaf of wood, place the plate on it, and seal it with more stone.

It's a simple freezer made in the primitive era.

It won't last as long as the real thing, but if you still remove the built-in fish, Ni, you'll keep it for about three days. Life would be a lot easier if the easy to obtain fish and shellfish preservation worked.

"Done!

"Yeah. Thanks, Eye. You did your best."

I gently stroke Eye's head with my fingertips, which is rare and proudly chested.

"No, thanks to the teacher. Because you made this for me."

In spite of this, she pointed to my flying board in a modest manner.

There's a spell written there that she just chanted.

If you say so, it's the oldest magic book in the world.

Written in charcoal on a wooden board, it's all hiragana, but it's crude.

Yeah, there's no need to think of any spells for yourself. Even what others thought would be properly established if the three elements were well aligned.

The three elements are meaning, will, and intention.

First, you must know what the words of the spell mean.

I tried to only tell Nina the sound of English to confirm it, but if the person using it still didn't understand the meaning of the word, the spell wouldn't have been built as a spell.

Next, will. Even spells with all their meaning and intent will not work unless they are willing to use magic on what they intend to use. Just casting a spell without thinking about it doesn't activate magic. This was gratifying. I have trouble with magic erupting in casual words of everyday life.

And most importantly, intent.

The word used for the spell must have an intent as to why the word is used...... in other words, it must have no relationship. It's a story Nina told me was natural, but it wasn't even that simple if I looked it up properly.

You can't just repeat the same words.

As Nina used to chant, "O tree, what roots in the earth, what leaves grow, what flowers, what fruits grow," meaning is the same tree, but another way of calling it adds intent to it. And for intent's sake, magic increases its power.

Conversely, it can be said that until now we have not used spells, we have used magic only with meaning and will.

"Doctor, can I ask you one thing?

"What is it?

"Doctor, have you ever seen Jack Frost?

I had trouble answering Eye's simple question.

JackFrost, the spirit of snow and ice that appears in England's heritage.

I don't know if the existence of the Spirit is actually in this world. Simply because anthropomorphism goes well with the format of calling again and again, I incorporated it into the spell.

"Yeah, I do."

If you recognize that you are not real, the spell may lose its effect.

That's what I thought, and I lied to her.

Because right now, it's hard for a cold air spell to lose its power.

Besides, it wasn't a lie. We've met before.

... in the game, though.

"I'd like to have one, too."

"Right. If you're studying magic hard, maybe you'll see him someday."

To the words of a childish eye, I said, like an adult who makes Santa Claus believe.

- I can't believe the little lie I told you at this time triggers something outrageous later.
