The Magus of Genesis

"Welcome back, do it. Seisei."

As I descended into the forest entrance, Eye rushed over, seeping the joy all over my face.

"I can't right now. I need to be in the woods."

"I won't ask to welcome you. It's all right because it's in the woods."

Nina represents herself from behind the eye and sighs like a shudder.

This world is full of dangerous animals.

Though not as many beasts as armored bears are, there are many beasts in the woods and meadows that are likely to swallow as much as an eye.

In the woods, Nina can help us avoid danger, but it worries me that it's so close to the border between the woods and the meadows. I don't know.

"No, was…………? Seisei."

"No, you can't. Thank you for welcoming me."

When I look at the soggy look on Eye's face, I forgive him without being able to say it strongly.

Then, Eye smiled all the time and hugged me to the tip of my nose.

"Is this what you call a 'jerk-off'?

Nina squeaks her nose and tells her to tease her.

I remember it so well, even though I just leaked it once.

What she is talking about and what she taught Eye is Japanese, not Elf.

When I taught language to an eye without words, I was a little worried about which.

If it's Japanese, Nina has to remember it.

However, due to its disadvantages, I decided to teach Japanese.

In Elf and Japanese, the number of vocabularies is different.

The elf language is simple and the expression is very narrow compared to Japanese.

For example, there are no words that mean "words". Because I don't know any other language.

Neither "magic" nor "school" is, on the contrary, not even "elf" or "human".

I am not at school in this condition.

Until now, words not found in Elf have been substituted in Japanese, but I realized that it would be quicker for them to learn Japanese itself. Fortunately, the grammar itself was pretty close to Japanese and Elf, so I can handle it as long as they remember the words.

I was born before the so-called Translator Generation, and it was good to learn foreign languages when I was younger.

That's why I taught the two of them Japanese, and although it's a little one-word, I've finally been having no trouble with everyday conversations lately. Not in days, like when I learned to speak elf, but months after I started teaching. They're both amazing learning speeds.

"Nina. It's not silly."

An eye that swells your cheeks and makes you angry.

I think that girl trembling in fear is what she often nostalgic so far in just a few months.

"No, it's fine, it's fine."

Nina, on the other hand, remains the same.

I think he misses this one.

"What do you think of that?"

"Yes, yes, we don't fight. Let's have lunch."

Fine, I gently lifted the fish cage in my forefoot.

A surprisingly clever dragon's forefoot, but not enough to knit a fish cage on a boulder.

This was made for me by Nina.

"Well, I'll be back at home."

I push the two of them on their backs and make them head to our house.

Yes. The time I lived roofing around the woods is already over.

We had a crude but homely home.

Closer to the forest entrance. to be surrounded by sparse trees, and it was there.

It's a simple but sturdy house, made of wood. If I go in, it won't break.

Well, the dragon's growth seems to go on indefinitely as long as I look at my mother, so I won't be able to get in any of it, but if I am me now, at least once bigger than the horse, it's big enough not to be indisputable to move.

And that's not all.

There is some furniture, even though it is made of wood, and I tried to make some earthenware tugs.

Nina takes out the barbecued pot and the eye also arranges the dishes on the table as she gets used to them.

What a cultural sight.

It's an unthinkable advance since we were roasting deer round and eating them in the open air.

"Yes, bake it."

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

Lightly flame the fish pierced by the branches. I almost burned a house that made chunks of charcoal and corners many times in the beginning, but it's something I'm used to already.

The fish quickly baked and the fragrant smell drifted through the house.

There, Nina sprinkled the salt removed from the kettle. Sea salt created by drawing sea water and evaporating it with flames.

"Bye."

"Bye."

"Yes."

I'll take it, and I'll have all three voices.

Pick up the skewers at your fingertips and place them on the tips of your tongues, so that they are taken away and put a whole tail in your mouth. Once bitten, the fat on board seeped through the cucumber, and the salt was involved in it, and the unspeakable flavour spread over the mouth.

"To that effect!

"Just be careful!

"Oops, excuse me"

Nina yells at the unwittingly leaky flame shards.

I can almost control the flames now, but when my emotions get high, they can leak.

"The fish that Nina salted me is so delicious that there's a fire."

"Say the right thing, already"

Nina swelling her cheeks.

Seeing such an exchange between us, Eye laughed at Couscous.

"By the way, Eye, how are you doing with your magic?

Finish your meal and ask as you put the fruit Nina has picked up for you in your mouth for dessert.

Sweet and sour honey overflowed all over her mouth if she squeezed her cheeks without peeling the round fruit resembling an apple. It looks like an apple but the texture is rather close to that of Micah.

I call this the water apple.

"I'm sorry…… I can't yet…"

"No, I'm not sick."

Follow Eye in a hurry.

In the first place, I haven't been able to do anything but blow a fire and float a little.

Life itself was smooth and full of sails, but the study of magic had not advanced at all.

"I mean, you're the only one who can blow a fire or fly in the sky."

To Nina's point, I'm stuck in words.

Sure, I didn't even think about that possibility.

For example, Eye has tried everything, but it means total hard work.

"It's a good one, good luck."

But Eye said so in good health.

While it is appreciated, it is also painful and painful.

But all I can do to people in this world is tell them magic.

The science of my living age is highly divided and there is little that knows the whole story. Not to mention not a single human being who can reproduce it from where there is no material or infrastructure.

I don't know how to refine oil, how to design an electronic circuit, or how to build a quantum computer if I don't even know how to build a furnace that melts iron, even if I can manage enough to put together a tree and build a cabin.

But if it's magic.

If you're talking about magic, you know it better than anyone else in the world.

In the words of a twentieth century SF writer, "highly developed science and technology cannot be distinguished from magic".

If this is true, magic should also be indistinguishable from advanced science and technology.

As a matter of fact, the magic that flutters the dragon giant is indistinguishable from the anti-gravity technology that has just been developed in recent years.

If it's magic, I should be able to develop civilization.

"Isn't this one still better? Eye looks just like me."

Nina's fingers are then wrapped around the chin that enters through the window.

"I don't know...... although I find it easier to get the fire out than plant manipulation"

Besides, Nina can barely explain what it feels like to use magic.

"What's a shock bump?

But the two seemed hooked elsewhere, all aligned and tilted their necks.

"It's about trees, grass, flowers."

When they answer that, they twist their necks more and more.

"What do you mean? Why do you call something else by the same name?

I was more comfortable with Nina's question.

Really? Don't you have the concept of a generic name yet?

"That's because it's convenient. When you name something that has the same nature or everything that is similar. For example, like me or Nina or Eye, it's the creatures who can think for themselves and move. Deer and fish are also creatures. Stones and water are not creatures. matter."

Hmm, Nina nods.

Eye looks more serious and seems to be trying to chew on my story somehow.

"Then it's not the plants I can move." Trees that have fallen winter leaves "or" Chopped branches "can't move."

Nina lined up was the name of a tree in Elf.

There are countless rhetoric about plants in the Elf language, each with a fine nuance difference.

It seems like there are many names for rain in Japanese.

"Right. Then only living trees can move it."

"Gone? Kiko, are you coming?

"It's not normal."

Nina snorts at Eye's simple question, and I nod.

"Trees and... plants are a kind of creature. The tree that dropped the winter leaves isn't dead... it's like sleeping."

"Aikono……… Shiitake"

Eye repeats his words so that he can chew my words thoroughly.

"But when you do, can't you move the grass that grows on the ground?

"That's right, then. You don't have any bones."

Nina, as a matter of course, as she rode through the mistletoe.

Bones... Well, I know what you're trying to say somehow.

I don't think the trees have bones either.

"So what's left if I burn that?

"It's charcoal, that's"

"Um, Seiko"

It was when we were talking without benefits.

"This... so, is that okay?"

In the palm of the eye, the leaves of the branches of the tree were moving.
