Chapter 154.1

Chapter 154 The End and The Beginning ③

Magic is something admired for those who cannot use it. Before I despaired at my lack of talent, I also wanted to be a Magi, in the very beginning, I have been told that I have no talent for magic when I was looking around to specialized myself in my hometown, and when Lucia was found out to have an aptitude to be a “Magi (Madoushi)”, I followed Lucia everywhere when she was trying hard to learn magic.

To the ignorant me at that time, magic was a miracle that made all things possible, unconditionally. Now, I know that it is not true, but I was just a kid at that time, so I would push my list of the strongest magic I could think of on my Imouto1 with a smile on my face and troubled her, or present her with a wand of my own making and sulk when she wasn’t using it, I really did whatever I wanted.

Lucia was serious and studious, so despite her reluctance, she did her best and recreated my 『List of the Strongest Magic I have in my mind』 by combining existing magic. When she did, I was clapping my hands in delight while saying *sugoi sugoi* awesome, awesome, and pointed out small mistakes she made and got punched by Lucia.

Now, I am really sorry for what I did back then.

Well, it isn’t directly related to those children’s play, but before long, she had acquired a vast amount of magical power, magical knowledge, created countless original magic, and become one of the most praised “Magi (Madoushi)” in Zebrudia. One day, I got tired of magic and became absorbed in the existence of the things that I could use, Relics.

Sytry brought out a small glass bottle, carefully picked Tino up, and put her in. The pitch-black frog was looking up at me with *uruuru* teary eyes from the inside of the transparent bottle.

“With this, she will be fine……” (Sytry)

No, I don’t think she is fine at all…… I widened my eyes, lifted the bottle containing Tino which had become extra small, and frowned.

“So it has been created…… The 『Witch’s Miracle : Frog Edition (Witch’s Arcane)』” (Cry)

This is exactly the kind of magic I wanted to see with my own two eyes after reading about it in a fairy tale when I was still a child but didn’t Lucia assure me that it was impossible to do. It is a magic that appears in the third or fourth volume of the “Strongest magic I have in my mind”. I have been told that such magic didn’t exist, or that I have to deal with the law of conservation of mass, or that I have to think about ethics, or that leaving aside changing people into a frog, how can we even change it back, and so on and so forth.

I never thought I would see it with my own two eyes after so many years. It is hard to react when you actually see it happening in front of you.

“………… I wonder if we can undo it?” (Cry)

“!???? *Kero* Croak!?” (Tino)

“Isn’t it fine to leave it like this for now? This is, in its own way, very cute……” (Sytry)

“*Kero* Croak!? *Kero Kero Kero* Croak croak croak!” (Tino)

Sytry was saying something outrageous. To an “Alchemist (Renkinjutsu-shi)”, a frog would be a potion ingredient. Tino-kaeru2 was desperately hitting the bottle.

Would it work if we use a 『High-Elixir (Elixir off all thing)』……? Ummmmh……

On his arm were… Seven colorful frogs.

………… This is bad, Tino will get mixed up.
