The Magus of Genesis

"No!

Throw the fur and knife out, then I let my body fall into a bed of straw.

"Why are the creatures of this world so colorful...!

Red, blue and yellow, all the skins of the animals I've hunted were brightly colored and very unlikely to be used on paper. I peeled the whole body and said that some parts of the body might be usable, but it was completely useless.

I wish I had colored it, at least a little lighter, but all the dark colors that look very bad to my eyes. Maybe even white ink would be quicker to make.

People's skin isn't much different from what I know, but if you think about it, Lynn's blue hair is something you'll never see on Earth, and some people in the village have changed their hair color.

Even Yuki's redhead, unlike Earthlings' brown, was a flaming bright red.

It may also be related to the colour of the animals' skin.

"Hey, look, look!

Nina and Lynn are the ones who have raised their bounced voices behind my back with one head.

"What do you say? I've made a lot of things."

Half the skin I've hunted, I gave it to Nina. She was always happy to get the rare fur of the beasts she usually never hunted.

He shows off to me in colorful clothes and turns around.

"Well, you look great. Lovely."

To be honest, I have no taste in clothing. I couldn't say well what was good or what was good, so for now I offered my compliments without difficulty.

"It's obvious."

Is it because the model is good, or because the human arm that made it is good? Nina, who is both of them, answers that with her chest stretched, but her usually less changeable expression was somewhere loose.

"Yay - thanks -!

Lynn, on the other hand, pleases innocently by raising her hands.

"If this is it, it looks fine to wear it in the water!

"Oh, is this shark skin?"

The clothes that Lynn wears are tultuous and play the water well. It was the skin of a two-mouthed octopus that Lynn herself had hunted.

The color is relatively diluted, and although it's good to be light and durable, it doesn't work as paper at all because it plays ink and ink instead of water. But as for the material in her clothes, it seems suitable.

If you come with mermaids at all costs, you basically don't wear clothes. The boulder has a bra made of shells to hide the chest, but anything more is in the way of swimming.

Lynn had grown up a lot, and this was quite gratifying because of her trouble with the way her eyes were done.

"So, you're still worried?

"It's good for clothes, though."

Recently, goat hair and cotton garment making has become widespread in the village of Hiiro. Even so, I still can't make the numbers yet, so most of them are wearing fur clothes, but light, well-touched cloth clothes will be the main ones in the future.

That said, the technology for dyeing it just made is still underdeveloped, and when it comes to clothing, it's all made. I guess Nina enjoyed using all kinds of colors.

"If you want it that white, why don't you just cloth it?

"I don't want the ink seeping in."

Besides, it's still too thick when it's a cloth, and it's not durable enough to keep it thin.

"But if you haven't hunted so many things, maybe you should give up the skin..."

If so, do you make vegetable paper whose preservation is somewhat inferior? I would have kept it for hundreds of years if it was fine Japanese paper.

The problem is that I have no idea how to make Japanese paper...

"Hmm... white skin, I think I've seen it somewhere, where it was"

"Really?"

Nina frowning root. If she's seen it, I think I've seen it, too.

"Yeah, I remember. That's it."

As I dig back into my memory, Nina slaps me in the hand.

"Behemoth."

"No, it does, though it has a white colour!

White or ash, well, it is certainly not a color that seems to be possible on paper.

Although the hair has grown once, it will be almost the color of the scalp due to its short and thin density.

But his skin, it's harder than a bad stone!

Anyway, my fangs are strong enough not to bite off so easily. I can't even make it into clothes, it's enough to be used for building materials, one way or another. Not really, but I didn't know it could be used on paper.

"If it's just hard, why don't you just soften it up?

Phew, I took the water out of the water bag, and Lynn said as I rolled the vortex.

Its water, which is not even shaped by its original hardness, recalls the sight of a giant bull's body being taken and captured.

I see. If you can magically stiffen something soft, it might also be possible to soften something stiff.

"Okay. Shall we try it?"

In conclusion, Lynn's suggestion was quite correct.

I used a lot of magic to stiffen and sharpen things, and on the other hand, magic to make them vulnerable and weak. I know exactly where everyone in the sword department uses it.

The problem is that those magical effects don't last long.

The magical effect is generally something that disappears quickly.

The flame created by magic will disappear after a while, and the tip of the sharpened spear will eventually return to its original stone. Even the one that used my scales as a comms machine will return to its original scales when time stands.

But this was not the case with the secondary changes indirectly caused by magic.

If you transfer a magically created flame to firewood, the flame will continue to burn unless the firewood burns out. Even the ice chamber, the magical effects of ice disappear quickly, but the reduced temperatures do not return immediately.

It's probably the same logic that if I don't consciously try to go back, I won't go back to being a dragon. Perhaps magic is just a switch, and I have two bodies in the first place… two names.

So just because you can be a person doesn't mean you can change freely, your face as a person is always the same.

The same could be done with the skin of the behemoth.

The process of stretching thinly while magically softening, shaving the hair, shredding off the excess fat, and stretching it further with magic again… is repeated.

The thick Behemoth skin grew thinner and wider with every stretch, and eventually, a hell of a lot of paper was made. As for the colour, the skin, which was gray, changed to a pale hue as it stretched, eventually settling with a beautiful ivory colour.

It's a strange thing that that gobbly behemoth skin could be such a beautiful piece of paper. Parchment or... elephant parchment, should I call it?

"This is... you might want to really think about breeding behemoth"

"How much paper are you going to make?"

Nina looks at me half as if I'm serious.

Well, anyway, Behemoth's body is huge. Except for the face with the hard fingertips to use, the skin is enough to make a home for one head.

And then stretch it thinly to make it more than ten times larger.

No matter how much you say you'll need, you won't have to take many heads. The benefits of even farming and getting it were dim. Simply because I haven't given up raising behemoth yet.

"Okay, I got it."

With such a futile mouth, I turned a beautifully finished book in pieces. Book with red cover, worn with Ortolos skin. This is the world's first fitting book. While I'm at it, it's pretty good for the first time.

"Yes, Lynn."

"Huh?"

Put it in a water-resistant case made of bamboo peel and then pass it to Lin with a fountain pen shafting the horn of the triangle cow made. Then she blinked patsy looking surprised.

"I made it, can I have it?

"You bet."

Me and Nina don't really need it, to be honest.

Because both dragons and elves live longer, they have too good a memory.

It was only natural that Lynn, who helped me make the book, would use it the most.

"You're forgetful, and you should keep a diary."

"What's a diary?

"Write down what happened every day and what you thought."

……

When I say that, Lynn pushes silently with a smile.

"I thought you were gonna be a pain in the ass."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

Lynn hurriedly said to Nina, who called her Zubali.

To this world... is that too much?

At least in the village of Hiiro, there is no religion yet. Therefore, there are no monks or children.

But first, maybe a three-day boy will be born.

That's what I thought.
