Chapter 49

First, I need to think of a countermeasure against magic. It's more vicious than I thought.

<Notice: The description of magic is significantly different from others. The foundation of ordinary secondary education is the description of sketches. Others perceive the world of magic as a picture.>

<Seihou has described a three-dimensionally rendered world in the past, so he is referencing that.>

In other words, it reflects the image of playing 3D smooth RPG or FPS games. Others, on the other hand, have the image of playing 2D RPGs. They express the image of wanting to give a certain effect in 2D, and the result is also expressed in 2D. Indeed, the concept of 3D probably doesn't exist.

<Notice: Furthermore, others have weaker abilities to imagine specific events compared to Seihou. Magic is about affecting things according to the definitions of magic based on the sensations and imaginations one has obtained.>

Ah, so it's like being unable to imagine something. Indeed, I know a lot of things as knowledge. In normal life, one can barely imagine the wind unless they experience a typhoon's gale.

However, I can imagine what would happen if I sent more air than the limit into a sealed container. That's why it becomes strange.

Moreover, if I look at a ruler, I can easily imagine a tenth of a millimeter, and I can do the same for a three-dimensional object.

Furthermore, I've always wondered, air should have heat when compressed. Why isn't this reflected in the spell's effect?

<Answer: The relevant phenomenon is not defined by magic.>

Ah, Alecto said that the source of Earth's games was referenced. For wind magic, it's probably things like Airball or Whirlwind.

I can imagine that it must have been quite difficult to express wind magic.

Fire, water, and earth are still dangerous. But this wind, when I have it, is truly dangerous.

No matter how heavily armored the opponent is, as long as they breathe, there is a part that allows air to pass through. If I can send compressed wind magic through that part, I can affect the inside of the armor.

Why wind magic, I understand the reason behind it. Alecto also said it could be neutralized, but also that it could be used to kill when necessary.

There are probably many things that can be done based on various knowledge, but wind has a wide range of applications when targeting others.

Then, what doesn't trigger excessive return?

<Answer: Checking the prohibited items... Checking the prohibited items... There is no clear information. Generally, the effect is generated by the multiplication of parameters accompanying the application.>

<The user's vague image is expressed according to the rules of magic in the simulation. At that time, whether or not excessive return occurs is also displayed.>

Ah, for water magic, the parameters should be quantity and temperature.

Assuming that with a power of 100, I can produce 1 liter of 100-degree water. To produce 2 liters of 100-degree water, I would need 200 power, right? It's not that simple, though...

I'm starting to understand what Alecto meant by "convenient." It doesn't make sense to think about it. For now, the one thing I'm sure of is that there are two patterns in the use of magic.

The rest is that I'm really a beginner... I want to study magic. Without understanding the specifications, touching the application is too scary.

I didn't realize it much when I was a student, but after entering society, I've felt it deeply. The more knowledge you have, the more explosively the things you can do increase. Ah, I feel irritable.

"Hey? It works, doesn't it?"

Fia calls out in a carefree voice.

"Yeah. Thanks. I tried it and it worked. Thanks to you, Fia."

"Hehe. Was I helpful?"

"Yes, very helpful."

Fia smiles at me.

My heart, which had been toyed with and felt irritable, is healed.

Rizu's face, which had been severe, softens.

"Hiro?"

"No, the teacher only knew up to the elementary level. Thanks. I hope you can teach me more in the future."

"Sure, if I know it."

She's a good, honest girl. Rizu's childhood friend, so I'll try to proceed with the party formation. However, the position of wife is Rizu's alone. I'll defend it to the death.

"Then, let's go back to the village and get our weapons."

The three of us head to the blacksmith. They also sell shields there.

When we arrive at the blacksmith, the usual face greets us. We greet each other and are shown the products.

The weapon is a blunt weapon.

"Rizu, we decided on a blunt weapon, but which one is good?"

There are large hammers, blunt blades, and ball-shaped iron blocks with handles.

I try lifting them, but they are all heavy. I can lift them, but it's difficult to swing them freely. My body is carried away.

"Maybe a hammer? It's straightforward."

She easily lifts a hammer about the size of a child's head.

She swings it around, but there's no danger.

For the shield, I choose a round one about 50 cm in diameter. It consists of iron plates, wood, and cotton layers, with leather stretched over it.

There are belts near the center and at the edge, which you insert your arm into and grip to secure it. The length of the belt is adjustable, allowing for a firm hold.

The price is 40,000.

"Isn't that quite cheap?"

"Considering the previous matter, it's a service."

I take out a purse from my pocket and hand over the coins.

"Huh? It's mine, so I'll pay for it."

"I'm becoming an adventurer for you, right? I want to give it as a gift."

Rizu blushes and looks down.

Gifts to women are important. I always pay attention and give them when the opportunity arises.

"Hey, that's unfair. What about me?"

Fia says, but I flatly refuse. Even though we're in the same party, she's still a stranger to me. I treat her differently from my wife.

Also, I ask if they can make something that covers the front of the legs up to the calves. The upper body can be protected with a shield, but the lower body is dangerous. If it doesn't cost much, I want to protect it minimally.

"There are iron boots, but they are quite expensive. If you have that request, we can process it here."

It will take about 2 days to complete. The timing is the same as the shoes.

The estimated price is 5,000. Considering the installation of the belt, it seems to be quite discounted. I pay in cash.

Fia's eyes hurt to look at.

"Thank you. Everything... I'm so happy..."

If Rizu's affection increases, that's good enough.

After finishing shopping, we discuss future plans. We decided to focus on raising Rizu's level for now.
