Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己
Since rehabilitation for making figures was going well, I placed the clay down on to the table and started thinking about the main point.
Regardless of the results I have now for the time being, I think I should try keeping it a secret.
Since I have played good child-chan in front of my parents until now, I’m left with a doting couple who basically do not doubt me.
They plainly believed me when I made the excuse for the figure I showed them.
Their child being a genius br.i.m.m.i.n.g with talent is dangerous.
I may look like a genius doing things adults do at 5-years-old, but it’s natural to me who’s a 30-year-old man on the inside.
They do not know my circ.u.mstances though, my parents will probably think I’m a genius and I would feel a lot of pain and be torn to rags from the pressure, that’s why I won’t be weird in front of those two anymore.
For the time being, I’ll give age-appropriate skills in public.
I won’t be reluctant to improve the status of full-fledged earth magic though.
Well, there’s something I have to concentrate on that’s in front of me first ……
The experiments I’m doing to move the clay golem in front of me with magic ….. in other words, simple golem creation. After all, speaking of the earth attribute, a major is a golem.
In this world, you need to chant a spell to make something from nothing, but in this case, there’s something to manipulate already so chanting is not required.
Basically, you can make the golem move without a chant.
In manga and games, with its st.u.r.dy characteristic, they are usually used as shields.
If I master making golem’s in this world, It would really make an excellent shield.
I start making a golem with clay at first as practice.
“Well, to say how would I do it …..”
In this world, research on the earth attribute is extremely small, that doc.u.ments about it aren’t actively spread.
Fathers library did not have anything about it either.
For now, I try out magic in the garden manipulating the soil to find out what can be made for the time being.
“Hmph …… Tsu …… Nuwuwu!” (EN: Probably grunting)
I tried pouring magic into the clay at full force, but it’s terribly inefficient as it only moved little by little.
Is my magic power at fault, or is it my method that’s wrong ….. ?
Anyways, my magic power will be depleted if this remains the same.
Since there was a small amount of knowledge about earth magic, I consider the next bet I should use.
My next bet is to create the golem while kneading it with magic in my hands.
By intuition, spreading magic through the golem will make it easier to move.
I immediately make a simple clay golem with magic. It really was a simple thing made into a humanoid form.
When I completed the golem, I raised my right hand and prayed.
“Oh!”
The golem slowly raises its right hand awkwardly.
Apparently, my intuition was right and I unintentionally raise a voice of joy. Next, I try to order it out loud.
In particular, there was no meaning to it, but my boy heart simply wanted it to move by ordering it out loud like in an old robot anime.
“Well ….. walk!”
I order the golem, it slowly moved its right foot before coming to a stop.
“What? Walk!”
Even with the order it did not move again. I tried to pray for it to move but it didn’t work.
“Does this mean ….. the magic has expired?”
Since there is no magic power as a source, I remake it once again to see if that’s why it doesn’t work.
I ordered it out loud to walk all out from the beginning, it walked five steps before coming to a stop.
There seems to only be enough magic power for five steps.
This time I made it with a lot more magic power into it than earlier, it walked around ten steps this time.
Seems the amount of movement depends on the magic power.
It’s bad that golem’s have a horrible magic consumption.
Perhaps there is a more efficient method of magic consumption, but it’s impossible for the current me because there’s not much knowledge about this magic.
I’m becoming more and more impatient about entering school next year. (EN: Not me.)
“I ~ ~ ~ ~ N! So hard!”
I became a little languid because I was using a lot of magic, I stretch and go take a break.
Since I’m using magic on a daily basis, I feel that my magic capacity is growing little by little, but there is a limit to the amount I can increase in my currently small body.
…… It’s not a negative meaning when the body is small!
“Who am I making excuses to?”
When I start thinking that it was the result of fatigue, something came floating in from the side.
At first, I thought it was dust, but it was too large, it also seemed to moving as if somethings willing it.
The thing was a white sphere of light around 10 cm in size.
“…… Keseran Pasaran?” (EN: The white fluff b.a.l.l.s made of dandelion. TY google!)
The Keseran Pasaran, the one that comes out in a certain shonen manga I don’t really know well …… in short, it’s something like a ghost that brings good luck.
I timidly reach out to the sphere, it approaches the expired golem I made and floats around it.
“Is there something about it?”
I don’t know where the words went through to it when I asked, but I felt like the sphere nodded in some way.
In fact, it’s a sphere so it might have not, but I somehow feel like it did.
Maybe it’s a kind of spirit.
Magic and G.o.d are present. It’s not strange for a spirit to be here.
I came up with an idea there.
If the sphere has the intention to enter the golem, what will happen?.
I try to ask the spirit(temporary) to enter the golem with gestures and words.
After showing behavior that looked like thinking, the spirit(temporary) slowly blends into the golem.
The golem suddenly starts moving and running around happily on the table.
“Are you the child from a little while ago?”
I ask the golem that’s moving around with surprise in my head.
The golem nods confirming it. The nod looked like a bow because it was a simple golem and had no upper joints.
“What sort of presence are you on earth?”
I asked that because I was interested and it would be easier to communicate with a mutual understanding.
The golem seemed like it was thinking then it skillfully placed a hand around the window and landed on the ground.
“The ground?”
When I asked, the golem shakes its head fully.
“Hmm ….. Soil? Flower?”
I tried to ask again, but the golem still shakes its head.
“Oh! The earth?”
Saying that, the golem starts hopping .
“Do you mean ….. as an earth spirit?”
I was convinced to ask the question, the golem makes a circle with its arms.
It seems to be correct that it was an earth spirit.
This is also related to my inherent attribute? I discover it’s not aggressive, or rather it is a fairly friendly spirit.
It doesn’t seem to speak actively though …..
Is it? Oh I see.
Does it not speak because the golem the spirit is inside does not have a mouth?
“No, no ….. Surely it would be such a simple story as that.”
I lightly make a mouth-ish line on the part of the golem that’s the face while thinking that.
Then the spirit starts making the movement with the mouth doing a Pakupaku verifying something. (EN: Pakupaku, imagine Pac-man)
“Can you hear?”
The spirit spoke in a neutral voice where you couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman.
It was such a simple story!
“I hear. Is it good earth spirit?”
“Yeah man! I just went among humans and became able to speak. Thank you!”
Saying so, ⌊Tet Tet⌉ the spirits come to my hand and gives it a hug.
What is this, cute.
How should I say this ….. there is a small animal or small child cuteness..
“It’s good, by the way, why have you come here?”
“Well ….. once you have woven this magic, I felt it and had a peace of mind.”
It says it had a peace of mind from my magic, must be because I’m of the earth attribute.
This was an unexpected result from making the golem, but I’ll settle for this because it’s cute.
Cute is justice.
“I see, maybe it was because I was making the golem with all my magic, I’ve got good chemistry with you earth spirit . Oh yeah, my name is Alba, what is your name? “
“Alba! What a good name! 〈〈Earth〉〉 is what people call us ! I have no name in earth community, it’s full of my people!”
Though I don’t understand most of what it said, but I know it has no name.
It’s also good to call it earth spirit, but then it’s dull……
“Well if it’s okay, could I give you a name?”
The spirit happily agrees with my words, good!
After thinking for a while, I say the name I came up with.
“How about ….. Aldi? It also means earth.”
“Aldi! It’s good! It resembles Alba!”
Aldo is happily hopping then suddenly begins shine.
“Wha- Tsu the light!”
I close my eyes from the light then reopen them.
“What happened just now ……”
“Right now, is the proof of our contract being established.”
Aldi answers my question. I feel that the tone is more proper compared to the earlier one.
“We spirits do not have names, the existence and magic power that names us creates a connection as a deal for names we acknowledge. At that time, our intelligence rises when our contractors knowledge flows into us. That’s why I’m able to speak fluently on this occasion.”
The atmosphere changed a while ago, somehow I’ve unconsciously made a control with a spirit.
“Earlier, I accepted and received the name Aldi from Alba-sama. Therefore I am your servant.”
“Hey hey, that was not my intention at all when I named you! I just simply wanted to be friends.”
“Friends is it, wait a moment ….. I have knowledge of friends from Alba-sama, friends forgive and trust each other, they also feel free to speak to one another. However, I became a servant so the speak freely …… “
“This is a useless stiff kind of speech! I prefer your innocent speech from a while ago! Yeah!”
” But …… “
Aldi says troubled by my words..
It’s in a development like this that I remember the perfect magic words.
“I know. Well, then I’ll order you to be the Aldi I was with a little while ago! I also ban Aldi from using honorifics when you are with me!”
Well, the words I said to Aldi was from a novel with slavery in it .
“What? ….. If Alba says so.”
Aldi with a worried gesture was wavering often before soon hugging me.
“I understand Alba! Best regards! Just because my intelligence was increased, it did not mean my personality changed, it was really hard to say all those honorifics.”
“Aldi and I are now equal friends, best regards? “
I’m shaking hands with Aldi. To say, even now the form Aldi is something even I could hold because I’m shaking hands with a cat-like golem ……
This day, ever since I was reborn, I made my first friend.
