Princess In Another World: New Story
32
Carcassed.
“Yo, where are you from?” (Lucy)
“D overslept daughter?” (Male)
“Haaaa, like that.” I laid Iona's body on the long chair, and then covered her with a warm blanket. “Hmmm, if not wrong. It says like this.” I touched the ring and necklace that Iona was wearing, after which the light that had been to shine now began to dim slowly.
“Heee, you bought her something interesting.”
“Just in case.”
“That princess wore, what stone? I've never seen a rock like that before.” (Male)
“That's magic stone, a stone commonly used to activate magic-related fights.” (Lucy)
“So, but it's a little different from the magic stone I know.”
“The stone is very valuable, making it into jewelry more difficult than a gem. It was because magic stones required special suitable materials, otherwise there would be a rejection reaction and eventually the magic stone would be destroyed.”
“Heee, I don't know if you know anything like that.”
“Yes, that is the knowledge I learned myself.”
“You should have understood its usefulness.”
“Iya, little.”
“It does not matter, after all, at this time the magic stone is a step but the ones looking for it are very few. If there are many, maybe the price can compete, or even exceed the price of gems or diamonds.”
“Y-that's right. That's a very valuable thing.”
“Give something valuable to a valuable person anyway, what's wrong with it.”
“Which Lucy said was true, besides that the ring she gave you wasn't it a very precious ring.”
“Eh? This ring?!” (Male)
“Why do you look surprised, where maybe I will give a regular ring to a special person.” (Lucy)
“T-but..”.
“What's the problem?”
“You sure you gave a valuable item like this to me?”
“Of course, the item will not be valuable if it is not worn by a valuable person as well. Therefore I give it to you, for you have become the only person most precious to me.”
“T-thanks.”
“Hey hey, stop your affection. Is it still not enough you guys made out earlier, already back to work.”
“You ruin the mood only.”
“Haaa, yes yes. Already, let's work.”
Long enough after that.
“Hmmm, this section should not be a problem. Lucy, how deng.... Eggghh...” I don't know what to say, but.... “Stop making out and quickly finish your work, if it's up to you what.”
“I'm done.” (Lucy)
“A-I also.” (Male)
“So, don't make out here. I'm busy, don't make me see your behavior like that.”
“Haaa, fine. I see, Ria can please check the documents that I checked yesterday once again.”
“Documents about the agricultural sales results?”
“Iya.”
“Good.” Ria's gone.
“Ari, what really happened? You're not the one who would get angry just for such trivial reasons.”
“Lucy, I'm just a little angry. No more.”
“Anged? Why?”
“So I went to a merchant I told you about.”
“Ahhh, the merchant who offers you wine is.”
“Iya.”
“Then, what's the problem?”
“When I said that Iona wanted to learn magic to other kingdoms, she said that this kingdom had been wary of other kingdoms. The chances that it can materialize will be very small.”
“So that makes you angry.”
“He has a dream, and it is my duty to make his dream come true. But, if it is like this his dream will disappear just because of this problem.”
“Hmmm, then what if I give advice.”
“Saran?”
“If not wrong, in the east there is a kingdom called Guil, the kingdom of witches.”
“Kingdom of witches?”
“As the name suggests, there is a city of witches gathered. I'm sure the princess will be accepted there, even though the selection is very strict. Therefore, you must teach him how to use magic.”
“I don't even understand anything about magic, magic is something beyond my ability.”
“Then, who will teach it?”
“Hmm, Risa-oneesama.”
“I'm sure she's busy, after all her engagement event will start in a few months.”
“The engagement ceremony was postponed again, yes.”
“Cuacanya does not support, I heard the hell so.”
“Do you have any acquaintances who can teach magic to Iona?”
“It's clearly not there, you should already know that the person who can use magic is very step by step. Where could I possibly get the acquaintance of such a person.”
“Then I have to how?”
“Learning magic independently only, your understanding of something is great. I admit it, if you learn anything related to magic I'm sure you can understand how magic works as well as other things related to magic.”
“But, the book about magic was very little.”
“Quiet, I have some I will lend you.”
“Eh? Seriously?”
“Yes, the rest is just you need to see how it works. For that, you can ask princess Risa or princess Iona to do it. That way your understanding will be faster, and I'm sure you can understand it easily if it's like that.”
“Hmmm, that's a good idea. I didn't think you could think like that. It turns out you're a genius.”
“Yes, all I can do is just this kind of thing. I can't do anything that's beyond the limits of my past.”
“But the problem is, I myself cannot use magic. I wasn't sure Iona could teach me the right way to learn magic.”
“Why are you pessimistic like that, try first if you can not try again using another way if you still can not you can just give up. Haven't tried to be pessimistic, unlike your usual self.”
“It's about things I'm not good at, so I'm not confident about it. But, you have a point. I'd better try it, if it fails or it's impossible I'll just retreat.”
“Well, that's new spirit. I'll give you the book later, don't forget to read it, yeah. And do your best.”
“Iya. Take it easy, leave it to me. I'll do my best.”
“Yes, I will wait for the result.”
“Ari..”.
“It looks like the princess is awake, I'll catch up with Ria. He must be in trouble at the moment.”
“Ya.” Lucy left, and I went straight to Iona. “Iona, how is your body doing? Are you cold?”
“Thank you for caring about me. I'm fine.” He looked at the necklace and the ring he had on his body. “This?”
“Ahhh, that's a gift for you. Because I was confused about what to give you, so I thought about buying you a necklace and a ring. You don't like it?”
“B-not so, thank you very much. I'll take good care of this gift of yours.”
“Ya.” He looks very happy. ‘I don't want that smile to disappear for such a stupid reason.’ Judging this kingdom just because of that matter, I can't accept it. “Alright, I have to be upbeat. I'll do my best.”
1 Week after that.
Commander room.
“Hmmm, imagination and also depiction, tidying is also necessary but not so important.”
“Ari, how? Can you learn it?”
“The book that you gave me is quite a lot, I have read it in part and I am currently comparing all the contents of each book that you gave it.”
“It looks like you're trying hard. Fight, for the sake of that smile.”
“Hey, you peek.”
“Hahahaha, I'm leaving. I want a date with Ria. See you later.”
“I just want to pay more attention to it, oh yes my work is done so I can rest’.”
“Ya.”
“Then, I go.”
The one in this place, I am alone. Iona didn't come here because there was a sudden business and the rest were still taking care of their unfinished work. “Hmmm, the mechanism in using magic. Looks like this will come in handy, I'd better take note.” I still need time to understand all the materials about this magic, no one taught me and obviously it further adds to the difficulty level of my understanding of magic.
1 Week passed, again.
“Ari, how? Did you find a way?” (Lucy)
“Hmmm, I'm still a little confused. Especially about imagination and also this portrayal, what to describe?”
“It's not like that, you know.”
“What?”
“If you imagine water, then water will appear. But, if you imagine a different water, just a water bubble, maybe a water bubble will appear. Like that.”
“Isn't that the same as imagining the mind.”
“Yes, maybe like that. In addition, the magic book is written a little differently than other books.”
“In addition to the language, the packaging also can not be equated with ordinary books, such as.”
“Iya, honestly I also have difficulty if I have to understand every meaning of every sentence written in that book.”
“Haaaa, like that, yes.”
“You want to give up?”
“No, at least I've found something useful. The more developed then the magic power possessed will also develop.”
“Yes, that's the basic thing. If you fail to control the magic that is on your body then it is not an advantage, but a disaster that will be obtained.”
“Haaaaaaa.”
“You sighed longer than usual, you trouble?”
“The level of difficulty in understanding things beyond human reason is very different, my brain that I always invite to think makes sense cannot.”
“What if you use delusion only, if such is not nothing impossible.”
“Dreaming, yes. Hmmm, if only that could be possible. All right, I'll try it.”
1 Week later, again…?
“Hey, how long have you been reading that book.” (Lucy)
“Entah, it's probably been almost 1 month.”
“Then, what do you get?”
“Some things, maybe more useful than before. I also used that method of fantasizing, whether it was effective or not but it seemed to be paying off a little. I'll go for a while.”
“Where?”
“Keistana, I want to meet Risa-oneesama.”
“Y-ya, good luck.”
The palace's.
I came to Risa's special room.
“Risa-oneesama, are you there?”
“Ahh, Ari, what's up? Don't you usually come here?”
“I want to know a little more about magic.”
“About magic?”
“Iya. Please teach me some useful things.”
“For what, if people do not have magic it is completely useless, lo.”
“I beg you, although only in material form I beg you.”
“But, I'm still a beginner in this as well. So I can't tell you much.”
“No problem, what matters is the knowledge of magic.”
“Alright, then which part do you want to ask first?”
“How to use magic.”
“How to use magic?”
“I've read in the book, magic can be used by using mana on the body, the amount of mana used also depends on the strength or not of magic that can be used.”
“Iya, it is indeed true.”
“Then, how long does it take for mana to recover?”
“Hmmm, if rested properly, then whichever is drained out can recover within 1 day. But, there are side effects if where it runs out.”
“Side effect?” Things not explained in the book. “What are the side effects?”
“Your body will be stiff in a few moments, although it will be able to move but if you finish all your mana then your endurance and stamina will be drained and you will become very tired.”
“Hmmm, so, I understand.”
“And 1 more thing, never use magic again when your man is up.”
“Eh? Why?”
“As a substitute for whichever is up, your life will be the fuel for the magic that will be activated afterwards.”
“So.” At least I guessed it.
“Then, is there anything you want to know again?”
“What allows a magician to have more than 1 element attribute he can master?”
“Can only, by the way the magic I can use is darkness and light, lo.”
“Darkness and light?!”
“Yes, all magic attributes can evolve. My light magic has evolved, I can stop time with that magic.”
“Wah, that's great.”
“But I can't do anything else, other than that those two elements if used take up a lot of mana. So it's a little useless.”
“Oh yes, by the way how many magic element attributes are there in this world? There are 4 books, all of which are basic elements such as earth, water, fire, and wind. But, Risa-oneesama just mentioned darkness and light, that means there are still other elements besides those 6 elements’.”
“Actually for the amount itself I do not know for sure, but all the elements can be combined and become different elements, you know, as an example if fire is mixed with soil it will become hot lava, so it will be hot lava, like that.”
“Hmmm, so. Means more and more elements are combined, it will create a new element, like that.”
“Ya, the concept is like that.”
“Once, yes.” This is something that is not explained in the book.
“Is there anything else you want to know about magic?”
I asked some questions that confused me, and when answered by Risa the confusion disappeared. But, the last 1 question that makes me very aware. “Risa-oneesama, what exactly is magic in this world? If only for war, then wouldn't it be better for magic to just disappear from this world, but why until now there are people who can use it?”
“Eh? What for, if you ask like that. Nor do I know, the history of this kingdom no one explains about it. Why magic can exist in this world, and what function magic should exist.”
“Once, yes.” Looks like this is gonna be a big question mark I can tell you.
“But, I think magic can also be useful. You see’ing magic equipment and also magic that can bring down rain, I believe there are other benefits of the function of magic in this world. I believe that magic can be used for the benefit of many people, and not for war.”
“Thanks for the explanation.”
“What has answered all your questions?”
“Ya, thanks. Then I'll be back.”
“Oh yes, there is something I want to tell you.”
“Huh?”
At headquarters.
“Ari, how are the results from your research?” (Lucy)
“Research?” (Lion)
“What is the deputy commander Ari with researched?” (Male)
“Yes, I got some important things and also some of my questions finally answered.”
“You said a few, meaning there's still an answer you haven't got or you're not satisfied with that answer.”
“Yes, like that. Most of the important things I know. Iona.”
“Eh, y-yeah? What's up?”
“Start tomorrow, we will do magic control exercises.”
“Eh? Magic control?!”
