Thank you for your feedback!
As you might have guessed, that's it!
Good morning.
The sound amplification magic tool I made yesterday.
I was careless! Since it's a magic tool to be used with a camera, I had to make as many as there are cameras!
I kept writing magic arrays on the leaves that Shell had ordered! I feel like I'm going to have another bad dream!
It's so troublesome to write each one by hand! While looking at various materials, I found a fragment of a dragon's magic stone from last year! Among all the materials I've handled, it has the most contained magic power by far.
But it's just a fragment, so it's not that big.
Could I make a magic array stamp with this? I got tired of making sound amplification magic tools, so I tried it!
First, I wrote the magic array, of course, in reverse! It was useful that I helped my nephew from my previous life with his summer vacation craft project! There was no tracing paper, but there was a very thin monster skin, so I used it and it worked!
I carved it neatly with magic after transferring it.
Hmm, it's quite a delicate job!
My fingers are thin, or rather small, so I'm pretty good at detailed work.
I carefully carved it out and finally finished it! It was noon.
I'll do the experiment later and go to the cafeteria for lunch.
When I got to the entrance of the cafeteria, there was a commotion.
I flew a little higher to check, and I found Shell being harassed by a girl with a spirit.
Shell was expressionless and not saying anything, but the girl with the spirit was grabbing Shell's arm and talking to her insistently.
Cavendish and the former president were glaring at them.
It was a very troublesome scene.
So I decided to break through! I explained the situation to Alsthein and kept going.
My barrier can't be entered without my permission, and it has a recognition hindrance, so when I passed by, it let Shell in but repelled the others.
I went straight to our usual seat.
As soon as I sat down, Shell let out a big sigh.
"Thank you, Lord Kaita."
"You're welcome."
"Got harassed again, huh?"
"At first, she came to apologize and thank me for yesterday, so I tried to brush her off and leave, but I got tired of her grabbing my arm and demanding a response."
"You should activate your magic tool earlier when you come to the cafeteria."
"Yes, from now on, I'll activate it as soon as I leave the classroom!"
After finishing our meal and leaving the cafeteria, the girl with the spirit was waiting for us.
Since we were still inside the barrier, she hadn't noticed us yet, so Shell and Jyu activated their magic tools.
After confirming that they couldn't be recognized, we split up, and in the afternoon, we had an information gathering test.
This is a test that can be taken in groups, and it's done by each team from the previous term's exercises.
The test is to find several points set up around the school as quickly as possible based on clues.
It reminds me of a stamp rally!
I'm not participating this time. Sora and Haku are eager, so I let them participate.
I'll stay in a place where I won't be in the way and continue with the morning's work on the moving magic tool.
I attached special ink to the dragon magic stone stamp and pressed it onto the surface of the leaves! I placed the magic stone in the center and burned it with magic.
When I flowed magic power, it glowed.
Most of the time, if it glows, it's a success, but I need to check just in case, so I secretly placed the sound amplification magic tool behind the teacher and set up the receiver, cable, and screen.
When I flowed magic power, there was no change on the screen, but I could hear the teacher's voice from the screen.
Hmm, it's a success!
Let's mass-produce them.
As I kept stamping, I made quite a few, so I placed the magic stones and burned them with the seemingly endless magic power.
After checking, I finished.
I made more than enough for the cameras installed in the school!
All I have to do is attach the glue to the camera magic tools and hand it over!
I also have to make some for the castle after dinner, so I'll hand over the work that others can do!
I don't even know where the camera magic tools are installed!
While I was feeling satisfied with the dragon magic stone stamp, the test was over before I knew it.
The serious ones said they would do physical training at the training facility since the test ended earlier than regular classes, instead of slacking off or playing.
I watched them while stamping with the dragon magic stone.
When I had enough, I burned them all at once.
I repeated this until the training was over, and quite a few sound amplification magic tools were completed!
It was a great way to pass the time with minimal effort, perfect!
While eating dinner in the cafeteria, Cavendish and the former president came.
Surprisingly, the girl with the spirit was not with them.
The two of them looked around the cafeteria and, after confirming that the girl with the spirit was not there, Cavendish went outside. The former president came to me and knocked on the barrier he found by touch.
Seeing everyone's faces, I let them in, and without greeting,
"Do you know Flair?"
"Who's Flair?"
To Diggory's question, he had a surprised look as if to say, "Why don't you know?"
"She's the young lady I'm always with."
"I wouldn't know. I saw her a few times during the test, but I didn't get close."
"I see, then it's fine."
He left without greeting.
After the former president left,
"What's with that attitude? If I, the successor, am treated the same way, it's unbearable!"
Yugram, with his usual expressionless face, was fuming.
"Ever since the incident with the former saint, she seems to have given up and gone crazy?"
"According to Mr. Tailsmya, the influence of the charm magic should have been completely eliminated, right?"
"It was probably her original nature. As the student council president, she was somewhat aware of others' opinions, but after the incident, she was ignored by everyone and gave up."
"She's giving up in the worst way, huh?"
"That's probably her original nature. If there's a miscalculation, it's that both Prince Cavendish and the former president have the worst taste in women!"
"True, causing trouble and then getting hooked on the same kind of girl again, it makes you question their learning ability, doesn't it?"
"Because of the previous incident, when she transferred, she was also checked for charm magic, but there was no abnormality."
"So, her nature is just that she likes men? That's the worst."
"Either way, as long as we don't get close, there's no problem!"
"What if she comes to us? During the test, she was kind of lurking around."
"I pretended to lose her, but it was clear she was trying to join us."
"We could have just launched a signal magic ball, but we waited for her to approach us."
"After a while, I activated the recognition hindrance magic tool so she couldn't follow, but it was creepy. She's different from the other young ladies, somehow."
"Yes, her gaze is sticky, and it feels more like the frustration of not being able to get something she wants rather than romantic feelings."
"True, like a woman who can't afford an expensive gemstone."
"As a person, it feels more like she wants to display them as a collection."
Overall, she's unpopular.
While ordinary young ladies may have ulterior motives, they still have romantic feelings, so they look at us with sparkling eyes! It's very endearing as an older man. Their efforts to appeal, even if they overshoot, are dazzling and endearing.
In contrast, the girl with the spirit, while she may like us, seems to be calmly trying to figure out a strategy.
......Hmm? Strategy? Right, my second younger sister, who is into corruption, used to look at games the same way. In her case, she aimed to bring the characters together, but......
"Thank you, Jyu, that girl isn't a reincarnated person, right?"
"Huh? A reincarnated person? Why do you suddenly ask if there are others besides us?"
"Something, Rimi came to mind."
"Rimi, the corrupted Rimi who is my second younger sister?"
"Right, when she plays games, she looks exactly like Rimi!"
"I don't know what Rimi looks like when she plays games, but......indeed, it's the same look when she and Keita are involved!"
"That's the look of a target in a game!"
"A target in a game! So, she's a reincarnated person? It's not impossible, but how can we confirm? If she's aiming for a reverse harem, she might lie if we ask her directly."
Just then, Cavendish entered the cafeteria with the girl with the spirit.
They sat in a relatively close position in the crowded cafeteria, so I took out my smartphone from my magic bag and snapped a photo! Then I opened the email screen, wrote (Is this person a reincarnated person?), attached the photo, and sent it!
——Pirorin——
As always, the reply was quick.
(No, she is not a reincarnated person. She is the former Goddess of Shit. If there is any damage, I have placed a special weapon in your magic bag, so feel free to kill her!)
When I looked into the magic bag, the contents appeared in my mind.
Thanks to Shell stuffing it with various items, there was a lot of luggage, but I quickly found what I was looking for.
When I took it out, it was......the exact same hammer my nephew from my previous life had.
A yellow-handled hammer with red pleats.
The only difference was that it had the word "God" in the middle of the hammer.
When I appraised it, it read (Divine Artifact, God's Special Weapon, very strong!).
As I silently examined the hammer, Diggory said,
"That's a cute weapon, it suits you, Lord Kaita, but can it defeat monsters?"
"Being a divine artifact, it might turn them to splinters!"
"......Divine artifact? Neketa, you sent an email just now, right? Should I ask who the recipient was?"
"God, I guess."
"......Ah! I thought as much! A divine artifact! Don't bring out such a terrifying thing! If you accidentally hit someone, it might not just turn them to splinters but turn the school into a wasteland!"
"I don't think it's that bad, it's a weapon to defeat the Goddess of Shit."
"Ah, so the former Goddess of Shit is the girl with the spirit?"
"Not a reincarnated person, but the real deal."
"Ugh, the worst, now that the heroine has left the stage, is she trying to become the new heroine?"
"Maybe?"
"Hmm, but isn't that strange? How does she know the heroine is gone? I can understand if it's within the school, but it's odd for a former goddess who was just a commoner to know the heroine has left the stage."
"Probably, she saw it at the tournament, and after the tournament, she was causing trouble at the school gate, I think."
"Hmm? I vaguely remember. The suspicious person who was taken away by the security guard?"
"Probably, I thought I recognized her face somewhere."
"I remember she was dirty."
"Ah, I might remember too, but her hair wasn't gray, was it?"
"Maybe it turned white after she cleaned up?"
"Ugh, that's terrible, so who was she?"
"The former goddess."
"......The former goddess. She messed around with this world as she pleased?"
"Apparently, she has the new god's approval, and even a weapon to punish her if she causes trouble."
"This cute hammer is that weapon."
Yugram has a complicated look on his face.
Everyone else looks a bit uneasy too.
"Well, for now, she's not causing too much trouble, so let's just report it to the castle and keep an eye on her."
"Agreed, I'll also send a message to the church."
With that, we concluded for the day.
But I made as many magic tools as I could before going to bed!
